Em:
Brett and that girl broke up, in front of everyone. This probably sounds mean, but I'm glad they did. I don't feel that feeling called jealousy anymore. It's nice! And ya I just admitted that I was jealous, but really how could I not be jealous!?
Anyways, Sami is grooming Storm right now. And I'm just relaxing on some hay.
"So what are your thoughts on the public break up?" I ask Sami.
"Well, Victoria was really clingy and she wasn't really right for Brett. You know, it's not my business anyways." She says.
" I'm glad they broke up." oh crap, I probably shouldn't have said that.
"Why?"
Think Em think! What is a good reason to be glad?
"She seemed like a heart breaker." I say slowly and hesitantly.
Sami looks at me for a second then says, "Yah I guess."
"I wonder if something crazy is going to happen?" my random question of the day.
"Maybe the world will explode tomorrow." Sami says sarcastically.
"But what if it will!" I roll over and fall off the hay.
We both start laughing, I'm such a weirdo.
After that, I went into the forest alone to draw. I haven't in a while so what the heck! I'm going to draw!
Sami:
I walk Storm out to the Pegasus riding arena. My three students are already waiting. I should mention that I occasionally teach riding lessons. I enjoy teaching lessons. Today Emma and Erin are here. They are only twelve and are really nice and seem to like riding. The bad thing is that Victoria is here too. Shit. She gives me an annoyed look before I spring up onto Storm's back. Lets get started.
"Since this is a group of beginners we won't be doing any flying today. We will start by learning how to ride a normal horse." I say. Victoria rolls her eyes Emma and Erin's smiles drop. I continue to say, "Don't get to upset, if we have a good lesson we might do some jumping."
I start the lesson with trotting then we advance into some cantering. Emma and Erin were doing good, Victoria not so much.
"Victoria, straighten you back." I say. She doesn't. I know she blames me for her brake up with Brett but I'm her coach right now and she's pissing me off. "Victoria, keep trotting. Emma and Erin I want you to jump that log." I say as I point toward a small log.
"We've never jumped before." Emma tells me.
"Ok, all you have to do is steer you Pegasus in a strait line towards the jump. While you are in the air center your weight in two point. Here, I'll show you." I push Storm into a trot and turn toward the log. His muscles tense and he springs easily over it. I center my weight and land easily. "Your turn." I say as I pull Storm to a stop. Emma goes first and jumps perfectly but lands hard. Erin gets pulled over the jump by a very enthusiastic Pegasus.
"Do I get to jump?" Victoria asks.
"No, you're not ready yet." I answer.
"What do you mean?"
"You are not ready to jump."
"You seem to want to ruin everything for me."
"Come on Victoria."
"First Brett now this!"
"I'm your coach, this is my class. I decide what you do."
"I don't need your coaching." She snarls.
"Fine. You can leave then." I reply. She then slams her heels into her Pegasus and starts to head toward the jump at a way too fast pace. Right before the jump her Pegasus digs his heels into the ground and stops. This sends Victoria flying over the jump and into a big patch of mud.
"What is wrong with him!" She screams as she gets up.
"Even he knew you weren't ready." I say. She turns and walks away. Out of the corner of my eye I can see Emma and Erin laughing and I smile.
That night at dinner Chiron walks out and stomps his hoof. We all stop and listen to what he has to say. "I have a message for Samantha." I snap my head around in shock. I look at him and he says, "This letter is from Apollo." What would my dad want? "It states that you must choose one of your brothers, a child of death and one other. You then must meet Apollo tomorrow after sunrise with nothing but a weapon and a few supplies. He has a task for you." I sit there shocked and I feel the whole camp's eyes on me. I get up and walk over to Chiron. "Who will you bring?" He asks.
"As a brother I will bring Brett." I say. I look over and see that there is only one person at the Hades table and that is Em. "I will also bring Em and Leo." A few Aphrodite girls roll their eyes and mutter something to each other.
"Very well. Dismissed." Chiron says and everyone gets up to leave.
Em:
Chiron comes in and stomps his hoof, but I'm to occupied fiddling with my shoe laces. What I do hear is Sami say:" I will also bring Em and Leo."
Bring me to what? Is she dragging me to a training thing? I get up anyway and follow Sami, Leo and apparently Brett is tagging along. I walk up next to Sami.
" Where are we going?" I ask.
She looks at me like I'm stupid. " My dad has a task for me. Were you even listening?"
" Well I heard my name." I reply.
She shakes her head, obviously annoyed. "I have to bring a brother, a child of death, that's you, and one other." she says.
"Oh. Wait! We're not going on a quest, right?! I don't feel like risking my life right now."
"Em come on! Just please try not be yourself for a bit and help me out!"
I shove my hands in my sweater pockets. "Fine, but you owe me."
AN: Yay! The quest finally! Please R&R ~CaitCait12
