Here we go again! the second chapter, You guys sure gave me something to work with. It was kinda hard getting diffrent P.O.V's and if its not in your characters, do not fear kind readers It will be next chapter! it's kinda hard because I don't want it to be in a random order,
Im thinking that, it's going to be different scenes of what your characters are doing during the day. While Kelly and Sea are swordfighting someone else could be doing something compleatly diffrent like chillin on the beach, you know? So this time in diffrent P.O.v's lets get to know some of the characters yes? ;)
Luna's P.O.V
"Can you guys belive it, the Romans are coming!" My freind Larrisa gushed excitedly.
"I know, I wonder if they like My little Pony too." I mused to myself as I heard Larrisa's laughter. That's how people usually react to my pony obsession. I didnt care though, My Little Pony was one of the greatest things to grace the planet next to Disney movies, and Butterflies.
"So do you think we should be training or something?" Larissa asked.
"Im not quite sure, Chiron never said what exactly we should train for. Imagine the things the tasks could be, dragon fighting, unicorn racing, hunting honey badgers, and finding Narnia!" I said dreamily. I could see Larrisa smile and roll her eyes at me.
"We already established Narnia is not a real place Luna." She sighed dramatically.
"I'm not listining, alalalalalalalalala." I said back cheerfully.
Larrisa was about to say something else, surely stratagies and battle tactics or even her crush Connor Stoll, but I saw a butterfly across the way and there is no way im missing it.
I sprinted off down the lawn leaving Larrisa in surpirse yelling "BUTTERFLY, MINE, MINE!" at the top of my lungs.
Indigo's P.O.V
I smiled wickedly as I hacked the head off of another dummy. The rest layed in a pile to my left and right. I personally couldnt wait for the Romans to get here, I hope maiming was allowed. Those Romans think their so high and mighty, I could probably have them beat and bloody in two seconds flat. I was about to resume tearing the dummy's a new one, when I heard an annyoing voice filling the arena.
"Come here butterfly, resistance is pointless you know." That girl Looney, Lara, Luna, whatever, yelled.
I glared at her but she didn't seem to be paying attention. So I decided to take action so that she would freaking leave me alone, I closed one eye and using my trusty dagger, I managed to pin the butterfly to the wall of the arena. Whatever her name is gasped and turned to galre at me. I rolled my eyes, those little fangs of her's didnt faze me.
"Why don't you go play with your rainbows and get out of my sight." I spat harshly at her.
"You will pay for that Winters" She warned as she left the arena.
Like that little pony loving wimp could hurt me, whats the worst she could do cover me in a rainbow?
Pathetic, or goodness forbid I can't Iris message anymore. I instead turned my attention back to the dummies and resumed my compleat destruction of them.
Sara's P.O.V
As I was staring into the flames of the hearth intently, I heard a sobbing noise rapidly approaching.
I turned to find Luna with tears in her eyes as she kicked the grass.
"Stupid Indigo, that poor little butterfly never had a chance to live." She mumbled quietly.
It hurt me to see her like this, she wasn't really a close freind but she is a freind regardless. Everyone who knew Luna knows that she is a bubbly carefree loving person. Seeing her like this unsettled me, maybe I do act like my mother it hurts me to see people upset.
"Care to talk about it Luna?" I asked her politley, motioning for her to sit next to me. She hesitated momentairly before nodding and sitting across from me looking into the flames. I breifly wished my brother Juan was here, but he was off on a quest. I sure hope he was okay, but I pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind as Luna started talking.
"I was chasing this really pretty Emperor butterfly, it flew into the arena and I was about to catch it when Indigo killed it!" Luna stated her tone showing her anger.
"I see, are those your favorite type of butterflies?" I asked her gently.
"Oh yes, expecially the blue ones!" She stated excitedly. I'm glad I managed to distract her from her previous anger, even if that ment listing to her butterfly rant. It was well worth it, I don't get company that often. Well aside from Nico, I felt my face heat up a little and it wasn't from the fire. He was always kind and asked me how my mother was, and how my day was going. I knew I couldn't like him though because if Indigo found out she would kill me. I zoned back in as I heard Luna sigh, oops I didn't mean to miss that. I hope she didnt ask me any questions, that would be embarassing.
"Thanks for talking to me Sarah, it made me feel a lot better. I'm going to get my brother James and make him help me hunt down another one!" Luna said brightly.
I nodded and smiled, then watched as she skipped away again, In search of her brother.
I wonder if I could locate my brother, I wondered menatally as I focused on the flames again. I came up with nothing unfortunatly but I could see Leo arguing with someone in the picture the flames were giving me. Intresting, they must be by the fire in the room with the blacksmith's furnace I thought as I tuned in to watch.
Jose's P.O.V
"Really Leo, can't you just tell her already?" I complained to my older half-brother. Everyone in our cabin know's that Leo is totally in love with Kelly Tides. The only problem is that she is like his best freind, and he is afraid of losing her frendship.
"It's not that easy dude, I cannot screw this up!" Leo sighed while tinkering with another gadget.
"I have an idea, set up a wonderful evening, start off with a delecious dinner then,
take her on a romantic moonlit walk. Then get down on one knee and proclaim your undying love to her!" I said dreamily. I forgot to mention im a hopeless romantic, if you didnt already guess.
"Well there are some major flaws to that plan. Number one, where am I supposed to get the food? Number two,
the Harpys are out looking for campers "strolling" around at night. Lastly number three, if I proclaimed my "undying love" for her she would run away but not before drowning me.
"WELL THEN MAN UP SON, AND NOCK HER OF HER FEET!" I yelled, tired of his pessimistic attitude.
Leo looked alarmed, then slowly started to smirk. Now it was my turn to look at him alarmed, that look was never good.
"Not so easy when it's you, why don't we go have a little talk with Sea huh?" Leo said making kissy faces.
Oh it was SO on now, he crossed the line. No one makes Kissy faces at me and gets away with it. I picked up a hammer and started chasing Leo around the forages yelling at him while he laughed.
"Alright, Alright, enough its time for archery come on." Leo told me still laughing. I mumbled grumpily at him but obliged picking up my bow and heading to the shooting range.
Zane's P.O.V.
"So you just have to make sure you foucus on your destination, any questions?" Nico asked us.
We were currently in the darker wooded area outside of the archery range where Nico was trying to teach Evelyn, Mela, and I how to Shadow Travel properly.
I think we were all getting the hang of it pretty well, besides the fact it really drained our energy.
"What should we do if we end up in Japan like you did?" Evelyn asked smirking.
Nico glared while we all laughed, before Nico got the hang of shadow travelling he told us the crazy story's of him ending up all over the world.
"I suggest you learn Japanese, and find someplace safe to sleep until you can travel again." Nico said humorlessly.
"Will Shadow Travling always drain us this much?" Mela asked seriously.
Nico's expression softened a little when he looked over at her, leave it to Nico to play favorites.
Well I suppose it's because Mela's personality reminded him of his full sister Bianca. He told us all the story of how she died a few months back, it was pretty harsh.
"Once you get used to it, it dosen't drain you so much. As they say practice really does make perfect." Nico told us in a lecturing manor.
We all got up to try to shadow travel to the other side of Nico, when we heard a whizzing sound and a large "thump" as Nico hit the ground.
Sticking up from his butt was a arrow with a suction cup on the end of it, a Leo Valdez special. Nico got up, yanked the arrow off of his rear end and stormed towards the shooting range. We could barely hear his yelling through our roaring laughter.
Miranda's P.O.V
"You think the Romans have any good archers?" I asked Samantha as we were loading our bows.
"Well Rome isn't really known for archery, most of them think that real warriors should fight with swords and spears." Samantha stated factually.
"Thats riculous, archery is important in war. We can take down half the enemy before they have time to raise their weapons." Evan scoffed while polishing his bow.
"True providing that your a good enough shot." I threw back at him, a challenging tone in my voice.
Evan looked over at me eyebrows raised, I saw a small smile on Samantha's face. The typical Artemis v.s. Apollo rivalry, Samantha being a former Hunter knew exactly how good I could be. She was exeptional herself, though Evan was quite the shooter too.
"Do I detect a challange Hunter?" Evan asked smirking.
"Dang straight boy." I shot back at him, with a smirk of my own.
"I'll be the ref then." Samantha told us, her smile now reaching her eyes.
"Prepare to be crushed." I told Evan, grabbing my bow.
As me and Evan we loading our bows, and Sammi was explaining the rules we heard a loud yelp and an angry Nico Di Angelo, stumbled out of the woods with an arrow in his hand.
"VALDEZ YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THAT!" Nico growled, marching toward Leo who promply threw down his bow and high tailed it out of there.
"Okay, well that was entertaining." I laughed.
"Yup now time for you to get your but kicked." Evan said turing toward me.
I rolled my eyes in response, and aimed for the target, and smiled brightly when It hit the bulls-eye.
No one's P.O.V.
So as another day at camp came to an end, counclers rallied their campers and they were off to bed. No one happend to notice however the Hermes cabin's light stayed on longer than usual. The poor unsespecting campers had no idea what the worlds greatest pranksters had in store for them tomorrow.
A day of compleate chaos was sure to happen that was for certain. Lets just say it involved duct tape, maple syrup, twenty bags of feathers, thirty buckets, a powerfan, extension cords, a baby elephant (Victoria insisted) and of course a cabin full of pranksters. Absoutly none of them however, knew the Romans were coming sooner then expected. Bringing their own set of challanges and a whole lot of surprises along with them.
I tried to upload this earlier but the freaking website wouldn't let me! Anyhow chapter two is down! Sorry if I did not include your character they will have a point of view in the next chapter. Luna is mentioned a lot becuase I could tie the butterfly chasing in with a lot of characters. So I hope you guys liked it, those tricky Hermes kids always up to a good prank. Not to mention the Romans are coming! Your Athena and Hermes characters will be the main P.O.V.'s next chapter! I am also working to put in Grayson Quill and Ryder Nightlock. Not to mention the Skywalkers :) Your Dionysus O.C's will also be in there not to worry. I repeat, EVERYONE who hasnt had a Point of view will have one. I accepted everyone that reviwed though some characters may be more minor than thanks again and I will work on making Kelly less "Mary Sue-ish?" I had to look that up to see what it meant. haha trust me she has her flaws, im sure Sea can back me up on that. ;) thanks for all the advice and I hope I continue to please you with my story.
-Peace, Love, and Tacos and Such. :)
