Ha, second day of being p and I already got you a new chapter! Aren't I awesome!
June 5
First of all the elder gods are not the titans. I've heard a lot of this. I repeat elder gods are not titans. The Elder gods came before the titans. They are the old of the old. Those that exsisted before the world began and the short time after. Chaos, Nyx, Erebus, Gaia, Anake and Oranos are all elder gods. Kronos and Rhea are not elder gods. And you, oh dear unknown therapist, better get it right.
I have been told I'm supposed to write about "my feelings" and "whatever is bothering me" in here. Let's see…I'm annoyed at having to write this, I hate Chiron right now and I think I feel like going to archery. Chiron, if you are reading this, which I suspect you are, I am "bothered" by being forced to write about my "feelings". Good bye stupid therapist and whoever else reads this.
P.S. Whatever Chiron tells you I do not have anger problems.
I slammed the book shut. I hate diaries. "Tori! We got climbing wall next!"
My little brother calling to me made me smile. "Coming Hayden!"
The current head of our cabin is my older sister, Francesca. Her birthday is in two weeks then I take over. Ah it's good to be old. I walk over and shake Delilah up. The six year old stretches and yawns before opening her eyes and smiling at me. "Time for rock wall girly," I tell her.
A delighted grin appears on her face as she leaps out of bed and runs out of the cabin. Seeing my little sister so happy makes me smile. I sigh and head to the rock wall. It's going to be a long day…
My whole body ached. I had to bring Hayden to the infirmary to get yet another burn and smashed fingers healed for the third time this week. Hayden is a ten year old accident magnet.
Chiron and a woman I did't know were sitting outside of the cabin. I stared at them for a moment as Hayden ran past into the cabin.
"Tori this is the new therapist…Tori!" Chiron said/yelled as I walk past him into my cabin.
"Delilah, we got archery next, right?" I grabbed my re-curve bow off its hook on the wall. It was an apology present from my mom. Archery sooths me and it is one awesome bow.
"Yeah Tori," Delilah hopped off her bed and grabbed her own bow. She looked expectantly at me with puppy dog eyes.
"Fine I'll carry you," I rolled my eyes at her as I scooped her up. I walked out the door as Hayden ran to catch up with us.
"Tori we need to talk to you," Chiron attempted to get my attention again. I walked past with Delilah in my arms. "Tori! Get back here!"
Delilah threw back her head and laughed. That laugh can light up the world.
Still June 5
So Miss therapist you saw me today. You now know that I will ignore Chiron when I am mad at him. Just to clear things up this is part of my so called "anger management". The last councilor told me to ignore things that make me angry. Francesca, Chiron, the Aphrodite cabin and you are all on my list.
Chiron left me a note saying I am supposed to write about what happened three summers ago. There was a group of seven of us between 12 and 15 that started pulling stunts to get claimed. One of those stunts was taken too far…
Flashback, three years previously, the year after Percy defeated Kronos.
"Tori!"
I turned to see Damien running up to me. "Hey Damien. What's up?"
"Meet me by the lake after capture the flag."
I nodded and headed off to archery. I was holding a re-curve bow I made that winter when I was bored while stuck at camp with the few other kids who lived there year-round. It was my best one yet, made of oak strips pieced together with barely a seam. I had shot many arrows with it in frustration. Shooting calmed me. It was like I was in my own little world that included me, my bow, and my target. It was the only time I could get any peace.
At first I thought I might be one of Apollo's kids, but Chiron had asked the god after I went unclaimed and he said I wasn't. As I walked up to the archery rang I pulled an arrow out of my quiver and took aim while walking. I let the arrow fly and sink its self into the target. A nearby Apollo camper snickered when I didn't hit the bull's-eye but I continued to shot, letting my arrows form a smiley face with an X over it. The snickerer took a step back as I turned around and raised my bow as if I was going to shoot him.
I collected my arrows and returned to my spot quickly as I saw Percy come up to the range to shoot. His girlfriend, Annabeth, laughed at him as he missed the target several times. I raised my bow and aimed at his target, letting my arrow fly a moment after his so they would hit at precisely the same time. Mine hit the bull's-eye. His hit somewhere behind the target.
Percy looked confused for a moment before looking over at me. "Let me guess, daughter of Apollo?" he questioned.
I shook my head, "I'm unclaimed."
He got this confused look on his face that I loathed. A look that said shouldn't they all be taken care of? I still remember that look, "But the gods all agreed to claim their children."
"You truly expect a bunch of millennia old gods to obey the demands of a sixteen year old boy? Apparently not all of them will. Yeah they said they would but they didn't swear did they? Damn you're naive." I walked away. That was when I resolved to be noticed. I would be claimed by the end of the summer. If not dear old mum would regret it.
And that was only the first day of camp.
Nico: Oh...What's she planning?
Me: Honestly I'm not really sure. It'll come to me.
Nico: Give her ideas and tons of reviews people!
Me: Oh yeah I mentioned Jennifer and Kyoshi in the last chapter, Jennifer is from my story The Thief and Kyoshi is from my brother, Nokamiso's story Black Flame.
Nico: Can I have some bacon now?
