The morning sun streamed through the dark blue curtains of cabin three, emitting a warm, bright light onto my eyelids.
I turned over in the silky sheets and groaned, hating waking up so early in the morning.
My eyes fluttered open and I listened to the peaceful hum of pulsating water that filled the room.
The stone, two-tiered fountain in the corner had water running freely down the rim of the upper bowl. It created a small rainbow when the sun hit it. Hundreds of gleaming gold coins lined the bottom of its pear shape.
The floor was birch planks and reminded me of the little beach houses you see on holiday adverts.
All four walls were painted in a pale blue. When I breathed in I caught a faint smell of the seaside, the usual scent of fresh sea salt.
Small trinkets littered the floor, ranging from books to orange T-shirts to swords and a Minotaur horn?
Percy, on one of 6 bunk beds, had the sheets strewn around him in a messy fashion, and his hair was greatly disheveled.
A small trail of drool had formed on the left corner of his pale pink lips and I sniggered noiselessly.
Wrenching back my quilt the cool air yielded to my pale skin whilst I squirmed around shivering and looking for a coat to put on to shield me.
In the end I decided to take Percy's green dressing gown and slipped that on, warmth immediately spreading through my body.
I made my way over to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Strangely enough, there was a toothbrush already there for me in a stone pot.
I left the room and went over to my backpack and pulled out a pair of black calf length leggings and a brown top, nothing too bright since I'd needed to blend in on my journey here.
Quietly, I slung my curly hair up in a messy pony and pulled on a pair of Nike trainers I had stolen from a shop back in London.
I tiptoed out of my new home and jogged to the dinner hall to grab a breakfast bar. Then, setting off to the climbing wall that stretched out at least 25 meters.
Grabbing an orange helmet and a pair of climbing shoes, I stepped onto the thick, charred mat.
After putting on my gear, I picked up a chalk bag next to me, dusting my hands until they were coloured white.
I looked for the most complex route to challenge me and settled on one that raised off the wall slightly.
Breathing in, I reached for an open grip and pulled my body up, my foot pushing on the wall, smearing it's called, and the other on a hold just above my knee.
I could feel my muscles straining and smiled in satisfaction at the common tingling feeling in my arms and legs.
With as must precision and accuracy as I could muster, I planned every move, every twist and turn until I was three-quarters of the way up on the 50 ft wall.
Out of nowhere a spurt of lava shot down, rapidly gaining speed and heading for my hands. I yelped and yanked my hand away only to loose balance and fall off the wall.
I writhed and wriggled to get back on the wall but nothing would work. The air rushed around me and my surroundings blurred as I came crashing down.
10 ft, 20 ft, 30ft. I kept on falling down and down, not sure if I was screaming due to the wind whipping in my ears.
After what felt like 9 antagonizing hours, my back finally hit the mat and I could hear the sickening crack of my rib bones. Ouch. That's going to hurt in the morning.
My vision was a haze and I kept dipping into unconsciousness. The only sound I could hear was my shallow breaths and my hammering heart.
I could see a pair of red pumps running towards me, not just some shoes, they would have a body attached to them.
This person leaned down next to me and examined my body, and ran his hands along my ribs, which I winced and cursed at whoever just touched me.
"So we meet again Kristin." I recognised that voice. Californian. It was Will.
"So we do." I coughed weakly and pain exploded down my side. "I'll be fine, don't you worry about me. I think I've just broken a rib or two. Nothing too serious."
Will laughed sarcastically and asked a nearby camper for a stretcher and some ambrosia.
"You, my friend, are most certainly not fine. It's lucky enough you're not burned!"
He removed the hat from my head and cast it to one side. I could feel the sweat pooling on my forehead and with one last glance at Wills blue eyes, the world went black.

"Stupid idiot, could've gotten yourself killed. What would I have done then? Who would I give fashion advice to?" Luke was fuming under his breath.
I chuckled and Luke caught me and launched his huge frame onto my body, knocking the wind out of me.
"Ow!" I groaned. "What my ribs you big oaf."
Luke grinned sheepishly and sank back into his chair.
"Oh hey, what did you do with Jake? I saw you guys walking off." I wiggled my eyebrows and smirked. "I ship it you know."
He blushed a brilliant fiery red a wide grin spread across his face. "It was nothing serious," He said, eyes glazed. "We just took a walk to the lake and sat in a spot he'd found."
"So you guyshad a date but not a date date?"
"Oh my God don't think of it like that! It sounds so creepy."
We were both giggling like teenage girls.
Together we sat in a comfortable silence, both of consumed in our thoughts.
Mine were mostly on how many broken ribs it would take to make me taller, you know, normal people thoughts. Totally not weird at all.
Will walked in ten minutes after. His blonde hair had been smooithed down hurriedly, as if someone had previously been messed with it.
I noticed that his lips were bruised and his crisp shirt was now crumpled.
"How you doing there sunny boy?" I shouted. "It would appear you have been intimately close with that death lad, am I right?"
He stumbled over to me and placed his slender fingers over my mouth and shushed me.
"You little miss are more trouble than you're worth." He grumbled and removed his hand from my face. "I've gotten you some ambrosia anyway, your ribs should heal after today."
"Gee thanks. Stuck in here with you and your boyfriend making out every hour really makes my heart burst." I rolled my eyes but accepted the ambrosia he was holding out to me and popped the little square into my mouth.
"Very funny." He said. "But seriously, I don't want you moving. Doctors orders."
I groaned one again at my punishment for climbing. Being stuck in this bed, this room will drive me crazy.
Once Will left the room I turned back to Luke and pulled a face.
"I don't want to stay in here." I whined. "It's so plain!"
He chuckled and stood up to kiss my forehead. "Suck it up princess. I'll see you later."
He waved goodbye and left me alone once again.
Surprisingly, just as he left a blue trident glowed above my head and a shell necklace appeared around my neck.
"About time you finally accept me as your own huh? You better make your role as a dad up to me because right now? I'm still not feeling it."
I smoothed my fingers over the pure white clam shell and fell bck onto my pillows into a deep and blissful sleep.
So um yeah! Another chapter! I actually find these easier to right in the holidas since I have the time to unlike when im at school and spend all my hours doing homework. Please R&R!
