A/N: Hey!
To Me (Anonymous Review: Wow! Thanks! The Epic Mooose© is my logo. I made it:)
Someone asked me if I got the theatre idea from a book called The Thief Lord. No I didn't. I did listen to the audio book once, but I had forgotten what it was about...
BTW, I had made up the game Ghost, but a reviewer said it was already a game... :P
3. Sing-Along.
Percy.
"You've all just been claimed!" I answered, looking at the sign above Marie's head. "Looks like your mom is Hecate, goddess of Magic."
She paled, and glanced at the shimmering signs above everyone else's heads.
Chiron opened his mouth; he had come just in time to see the signs. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood everybody! Percy and Annabeth will give you a tour. Dinner is in thirty minutes."
I nodded. "Okay." The, I turned to the others. "Come on, we better get on with the tour so we can finish before dinner."
We showed them the camp, and left them in their cabins, to put their stuff away, and to have some "quality bonding time" with their new siblings.
Prosper's POV.
I spent some time with my siblings, and then went to find Marie, to find out why she blushed when Trent said she had a good voice. I found her sitting on a cluster of rocks, which Percy called "Zeus's Fist".
She looked up at me. "Hey."
I waved, and sat down next to her. "So, what happened with Trent?"
She blushed, and put her head in her hands. "I was on the roof, and he came a-and k-kissed me, I told him not to, and then he told me he loved me. Then I told him to leave, not that I don't like him, b-but you know what he's like..." She trailed off.
I was shocked. "Ah. Um... If you don't catch him flirting with anyone for three days, I think you sould go for it."
"Really?"
"Yeah." I hugged her. She was like a little sister to me. She had to be tough, being our leader and everything, but now she didn't have to look after everyone, maybe she'll soften up, and actually live, yeah, like that made sense. Then, the dinner bell rang.
Marie's POV.
I sprinted across the field, over to the pavilion. I sat down at the Hecate table, where all the kids were doing spells on each other. Then all the kids got up, picked up their plates and scraped off some of their food into the burner. I made my way over to Percy.
"What am I supposed to do?" I asked.
"You take the best portion of your food and put it into the burner, then say a little prayer to your godly parent." He said.
"Ah. Thanks."
"It's alright."
I walked back to the pot, that was billowing smoke. I picked up three pieces of spiced chicken, and put it in the flames. "For my mom, Hecate. Mom, if you are listening, I want you to know I glad I want you to know I glad you claimed me." I whispered. I sat back down at my table, and started to eat. When dinner was over, we headed for the campfire. Prosper was whispering something to Chiron when we all arrived. Chiron nodded. When it was time for the sing-along, Chiron clapped his hands together.
"Alright! Tonight, we have someone who is not an Apollo camper singing for us," I realised what was going on, and froze. "Marie!" He finished. I stepped forward, glaring at Prosper. I'm going to kill you. I mouthed. An Apollo camper asked me what I was going to sing.
"Um... Never Let Me Go by Florence + The Machine." I answered. She nodded and told the rest. They started to plat the tune.
"Looking out from underneath,
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me,
As before I went under.
And it's peaceful in the deep,
Cathedral where you cannot breathe,
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under.
And it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles onto the sea bed,
Found the place to rest my head.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me,
The arms of the ocean deliver me.
Though the pressure's hard to take,
It's the only way I can escape,
It seems a heavy choice to make,
Now I am under.
And it's breaking over me,
A thousand miles down to the sea bed,
Found the place to rest my head.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me,
The arms of the ocean deliver me.
And it's over,
And I'm going under,
But I'm not giving up!
I'm just giving in.
Oh, slipping underneath.
Oh, so cold, but so sweet.
In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold,
And all this devotion I never knew at all,
And the crashes are Heaven, for a sinner released,
And the arms of the ocean,
Deliver me." The Apollo campers joined in for the chorus.
"Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Deliver me.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Deliver me.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Never let me go, never let me go.
And it's over,
And I'm goin' under,
But I'm not givin' up!
I'm just givin' in.
Oh, slipping underneath.
Oh, so cold, but so sweet" I finished. Everybody applauded. Prosper was smiling at me. I smiled at everyone, and sat back down.
As I headed for my cabin, I bumped into Trent. He looked at me with his icy blue eyes. He half-smiled at me.
"Um... H-hi." I said nervously.
"Hey. You sung really well tonight."
"Thanks." I felt my mouth curve into a smile. His smile widened.
"You look so beautiful when you smile."
I blushed. "I have to go to bed."
He kissed my forehead, and walked away. I watched him walk off. Maybe he did like me after all.
A/N: Who should Marie go for? Prosper or Trent?
