You could say that I came back from school fever. But it's a lie so I am going to start writing. This is a continuation of the Immortality story. Hope you like it!
Owen and I ran over to check if everything was okay. Carter rushed over there; Owen and I were slowly walking to the scene. "No worries people, it's just another pipe bomb. The Hermes kids have lots of explaining," Carter insisted making sure everyone was okay.
"What is god's name happened here? I thought we weren't going to use it until the Sword Tag match. Well now how are going to blow up the other people's weapons?" Owen complained.
"Well then, I know who I'm going to talk to first. Mike... no, Sky...no, maybe Owen can tell me why a pipe bomb went off?"
"Um great story," Owen stated. "Oh look at the time it's training time with those swords. C'mon cabin mates. Let's not be late." when Owen said that at least 2 dozen kids came out of the cabin.
"I have no idea what do with that boy. Always getting in trouble, it's a good thing he's a good swords man." Carter stressed.
"So, what am I going to do now?" I muttered.
"I'll print out a schedule for you to follow," Carter smiled and walked away to the Big House.
A few other cabins just stood there. Athena's cabins snickered back and forth to each other. Finally, a blonde hair girl walked up to me. She had stunning gray eyes. She wore skinny jeans shorts with a graphic t-shirt. "Hey, I'm Lena Woods; I'm head of the Athena cabin. This is Anna Woods, my younger sister. She is my deputy."
"Hi, should I be worried about the Hermes kids?" I asked Lena.
"Ha-ha no, they will be okay. Since, you don't have a schedule yet how about you come with us. Hermes kids are the welcome comity usually, but Athena cabin show hospitality." she smiled.
"Sure, if you don't mind."
After we finished our welcoming group, we went off to the Big House for some dinner. Lena told me to sit in the third table near the two other empty tables. I sat there; I would've sworn I hear other people talking about me. Sky was near the Athena, talking up a storm to Lena.
After Dinner onto the sing along!
All the cabins were sitting near the burning fire. Owen said a few words before anything started. "I hereby Thursday night is our sing along night. Anyone can start us off they may now."
"As a half-brother's to you Owen we will start off singing Tick Tock by Ke$ah," Mike and Sky said together. When they started singing, you could hear bird squalling in the back round.
Around 10 we all had to go to bed. Each cabin left first. Just in case people get lost on the way to the cabins. First cabin to leave were Dionysus's cabin, there are only 2 to 4 people in the cabin. Second to leave were Demeter's cabin, you can hear them chatter about plants, flowers, and weeds. Third to leave were Apollo's cabin, they had arrows right next to their sides. Fourth to leave were the Aphrodite's cabin, all the other cabins whistled mostly the Hermes cabin though. Fifth to leave were the Ares's cabin, you could hear them snickering all the way to the cabins. Sixth to leave were the Hephaestus's cabin, while all of the other cabins mocked them. At the end of all that it was too late for the rest of the cabins separately, which were only 3 cabins left. They let us all go at once. That's when Lena and Anna came up to me. "You know who likes you Em?" Anna asks me like I would know.
"Um...no who?"
"Well, I dunno if we should tell you or not." Anna spewed out.
"Then why did you ask in the first place? It's sorta wrong to tell someone but then decide not to tell them." I hinted to Anna to tell me.
"Yeah, Anna, I have to go on Em's side on this one." Lena told Anna.
"Fine, I heard Kim who heard it from Will who heard it from Roy who hear it from Sarah who hear it from Jay who hear it from Simon who hear it from," Anna took of breathe air before she went back to talking.
"Stop! Anna you're driving me insane. Just tell Em who likes her before we have to get into our cabins." Lena demanded.
"Like it's my fault," Anna protested back, "Well Owen has like a huge crush on you!" I didn't get to say anything back because they had both reached their cabin and walked in.
I opened my door a crack to see if anyone would be there. To my disappointment nobody was. I walked in and shut the door. The edges of the room had sand on them. Rows of shells were at the top of the cabin. There were only two beds in the whole cabin. Owen said that most cabins had at least 12 kids in each cabin. But in my cabin it was just me just two bed, one still not even used. I lied down; I felt my eye lids close quickly.
That night was pretty bad I thought, because I was standing in front of a world so barren. You couldn't even see a weed in sight. The ground was dry and rocky like the desert on one of its worst days. In the distance I could see an object coming closer to me. It seemed to be picking up speed. Just in the blink of an eye it was in front of me.
"C'mon," said a croaky voice, "It's your time to shine. Those gods are holding you back. They don't know your potential, like I do. Join me and you can never die. Join me and see the world end. Help me find the necklace of Delphi."
"Who are you?" I spoke.
"I'm known with lots of names. I feed off of tri-gods fears and desires. You don't have any fears to feed off of. But your desires are the same as mine, they need to be complete…now!" his voice shot shivers up and down my spine.
"You can really feel my desires? But, I'm not angry with the gods." I told the guy.
"You sure about that; not even one bit? I can make you free. You can call me The Hunter," he laughed darkly.
"Fine maybe, your right I sort of. Where are these necklaces and how many are there?" I asked.
"Are you sure? This journey dangerous people die finding these necklaces. There are 13 necklaces. Each of them is hidden where gods live. You can take 7 people no more and no less. Here is the catch though only will 5 will come back on your first journey. Now, when you wake up, go find Carter. Tell him what I told you. Tell him you have to go no matter what." The Hunter muttered walking away from me.
Whoa! What happened? That was weird, I have to go find Carter a.s.a.p. Em puts some new clothes on and walks out quickly. I slid one some moss at the edge of the Big House. To my surprise Carter was outside already. His voice was quiet, "He talked to you didn't he?"
"Yes," I said calmly.
"Then get packing and pick your 7 cabins fast. You don't want to keep him waiting."
"How did you know?"
"I have an oracle you know that tells me everything. Now good and get ready you need to," he sighed.
