A/N So i know that this isnt the best. if anybody has any suggestions that would be great. this is my first fanfiction and im writing it for my circle of freinds, the characters are based off of them so what's in there chapters is stuff they ask for. sorry i didn't update for a while, i had no internet. enjoy this chapter. ;) also im taking some characters out so chapter 1 will be a little different
Chapter 2 Aly's p.o.v
I look at Caitie. "Ok am I hearing right?" "Did she just say Hades like king of the underworld Hades?" "Ummmm yeah is that a problem?" Sydney asks almost glaring. "No …no" Caitie sputters "it's just exceedingly rare for a child to be born of the big three in fact there are only 3 living known today." "Those 3 would be, Percy, Nico, and Thaila." I cut her off. "We need to talk to Chiron about this. Caitie looks around and grabs a random camper, he's a ginger with two different colored eyes, one's blue and one's green. Hey can you take fluffy over here to Chiron? She asks him as Sydney shoots caitie a glare. "Uuuummm…. Yeah I guess." The boy says uncertainly. The boy, that I now recognize to be ace from the Ares cabin gestures for Sydney to follow him. She groans and stomps after ace.
Once they are gone I round up the others including Emily who is dancing in circles and singing it's a small world, and Kaitlyn who is staring at a silver and blue Pegasus in wonder. Then we herd them over to their seats and then walk to the Artemis table. Nobody else sits there so that is where we stay. "So how was Sydney? How do you feel about her? Caitie asks me when we are settled. I see a nymph drop off a mug of hot chocolate by Caitie as well as spaghetti and a huge pile of cookies and other chocolatey delights. Then another one drops off a box of Chinese food, a bottle of sprite, and a slice of better than homework cake (like better than sex cake but better) in front of me. I clear my throat annoyed and I get a fortune cookie thrown at the back of my head. I pick my now crushed fortune cookie up off the ground and eat it. Caitie is looking at me expectantly. "What?" I ask her. "I asked how Sydney was, how do you feel about her?" she tells me slowly. "Oh! She's ok, she seems kinda emo but also funny and kind."
I continue to eat my food when all of a sudden I see Emily crash to the floor convulsing at the Hermes table, my Apollo instincts kick in and I rush over to her, another Apollo kid tries to come help but I shoot him a glare telling him to back off. I try to hold her still as she shakes when all of a sudden her eyes glow blue and we are swept up into a ball of water and the air is pushed from my lungs, the water in the ball is throwing me around every which way but I catch glimpses of Emily at the center glowing blue and completely dry. When my vision goes black the ball finally releases me and I am thrown to the ground. Caitie rushes over and slams her hand into my back to help me cough up the water I swallowed but it won't come up, she does it again, and again until the water finally forces itself out of my lungs. Caitie helps me to my feet when I've recovered and takes the towel that another camper is offering her. She wraps it around my shoulders and brings me back to the table.
When I finally decide to scan the crowd to see what in Tartarus just happened I see everyone staring at Emily with a mixture of awe, fear, and confusion. "What just happened?" I ask caitie. "I have no idea… are you ok?" she looks at me concerned. We've always been this way about each other even though we are cousins we consider ourselves sisters, and since we are usually assigned to the same quests we have grown used to watching each other's backs constantly. I nod my head and turn my attention back to the crowd of campers now gathering around Emily. Chiron shoves his way through the group with Sydney at his heels. "Ok everyone we have two new campers that have been claimed!" he shouts over the whispers and murmurs. He gestures to Emily. "Emily, daughter of Poseidon!" he gestures at Sydney "and Sydney daughter of hades" the campers erupt into cheers and pick Sydney and Emily up. Carrying Sydney to the hades table and Emily to the Poseidon table. Percy greets Emily with a clap on the shoulder and hazel gives Sydney a huge hug to which Sydney just shrugs off and scowls. I just laugh and continue eating like nothing happened. After dinner that night we sit around the campfire and tell stories late into the night when I finally do get to bed my sleep is plagued by nightmares.
In my dream I am in a huge cave. At the very far end I see a warm light so I run to it. When I get closer I see a wide, tall cavern with a huge fire blazing in the center, it's almost unbearably hot in the cave but I push through it and examine the cave. My heart skips a beat when I see Artemis laying on the ground unconscious by one cave wall, a small line of golden ichor is running from her hairline down her chin and onto the floor. Moments later I see my dad (Apollo) thrown into the wall behind Artemis. But instead of passing out then and there she struggles to his feet and crouches protectively in front of his twin. He is bleeding from multiple wounds and gashes along his arms and back, I don't want to think of why. I know that he is in trouble because I see genuine terror in the sun gods eyes and all I want to do is rush out there and help him but I halt when I see a hell hound, easily twice the size of mrs'O Leary tackle my dad to the ground, its teeth bared inches from Apollos throat. "Dad no!" I scream and the hell hound looks at me, hunger glinting in its eyes. "Aly! No, run!" my dad screams as the hell hound hops off of him and begins prowling towards me. Apollo jumps on the monsters back and tries to choke it "you stay away from my daughter you filthy beast!" he screams and the hound shakes him off as if he were just a bothersome fly, this time when Apollo slams into the wall he doesn't stir. Panic sears through me and I try desperately to wake myself up, to no avail, so I scream. Praying to the gods someone will hear me. I scream, and scream until I am woken to a sharp pain in my hand. I jolt awake in my cabin to see caitie holding one of my arrows, the tip smeared with a drop of my blood. My hand stings but I quickly heal it with a wave of my other hand. When I catch my breath caitie just looks at me and I nod my head, we walk to the big house.
kaitlyns p.o.v
I sit in the Hermes cabin, not all the bunks are full so I get a bunk near the back merely because I don't want to deal with people. I don't have much stuff just my double bladed dagger. It was gift from my mother before she died, its bronze in color with a barn owl and olive branches circling the hilt in the middle. I clean it absent mindedly and think about the day I left home, my dad had come home drunk, as always, but this night he was in a particularly bad mood. He grabs the belt off the counter and slashes it across my shoulders, I swear he attached something to it because it cuts right through my shirt in deep into my back, I stifle a scream and fall. He continues to throw lashes at my back until I pass out. When I wake its nighttime and my friend Sydney is carrying me through the woods, I have no idea where I am until I see the hideout we use to get away for a while. I see Emily there too both of them are armed and have backpacks "where are we going?" I rasp "oh! You're awake. I didn't know" she says setting me down gently she gently strips my torn up shirt and puts healing ointment on my back, Emily makes it, it always seem to be able to heal my wounds extra fast, they will probably just be scabs tomorrow. She wraps a bandage around my back and gives my pain medication. "We leave in the morning, we are going to camp half blood." Emily tells me as all three of us settle in for the night. We've all heard the stories of the legendary camp half-blood but all of us assumed it was fake. An annoying voice breaks me out of my reverie "where did you get those scars newbie?" the voice sneers in my ear. I whip around to see a tall muscular but also ugly girl standing next to me, her knotty black hair is pulled up into a bun at the back of her head and her ugly green eyes bore into me as she stares at my one thick scar on my face where my dad took a broken bottle to it. "Oh I'm sorry, were you saying something l I couldn't concentrate on anything you were saying over the stench of your breath." The girl snarls and throws herself at me and punches me in the mouth, my lip splits and blood pours down my chin. My vision goes red and I grab her bun and yank as hard as I can, I get a fair sized chunk out and she screams, I tackle her to the ground and I punch her repeatedly in the face, she grabs my wrist in her ugly mitts before I can punch her again. She snaps it like a twig and my vision goes black, she sits on me and grabs my hair, slamming my head into the ground repeatedly, I take a cheap shot and slam my good fist into her boob. She groans and hunches over I flip her off of me and punch her in the side of the jaw, HARD, her eyes roll back in her head and her body relaxes.
Just then I feel two very strong arms yank me to my feet, I try to wrench myself out of their grasp but the person is too strong so I allow myself to be dragged away. I am dragged to the Apollo cabin where the girl from earlier, aly, waits for me. Caitie is there too. I twist my head around to see who is holding me, he is a tall boy with shaggy black hair and deep blue eyes the color of the sky at dusk. I'm momentarily amazed by the color of them but a flash of annoyance sears through me and I finally manage to jerk out of his grasp wincing at the spear of pain that shoots through my broken wrist "is this what you do for fun? Grabbing poor defenseless girls with broken wrists?!" he looks at me and chuckles his blue eyes glinting, " I just watched you take down Porsha, the meanest girl in camp, you took her down like it was nothing. You are anything but poor and defenseless." I stare at him shocked. But he just gently nudges me towards caitie and aly. They lay me down on the bed and caitie holds my shoulders while the boy and some other Apollo kid holds my legs, "I'm going to have to set your wrist before we can give you ambrosia. It's going to hurt, A LOT. Hence why I have helpers here." Aly says I nod at her and clench my teeth. "On the count of three ok?" she asks me. I nod my head. "Ok, 3… she twists my wrist and snaps the bones back to where they are supposed to be and I scream, I am thrashing desperate to get away. But the multiple hands all over my body hold steady until I've calmed enough to take some nectar and ambrosia. The nectar tastes like my mom's signature apple pie and I relax instantly. The comforting warmth sliding down my throat. I also chew up some ambrosia and I can almost feel the bone in my wrist mending. I must have knocked out because I wake up to the boy carrying me to the Athena cabin, why the Athena cabin, I'm too tired to care so I rest my head against the dudes chest (I don't know why I did it, it just felt right) and fall back asleep.
