Chapter 8
Lachlan sat atop the tallest mountain at the camp. Lachlan felt terrible at what he had done to Row but proud at the same time. He hoped no-one would ever find him up here but his luck was never that good.
Lachlan heard footsteps and took off down the hill. Eliza sped towards him, much faster than Lachlan could ever run. Eliza jumped and crash tackled him.
"You didn't have to zap Row with lightning." Eliza let go of him and stood up. She brushed the dirt and grass of her shirt. "He hates you now."
"Not like he ever didn't," Lachlan muttered. Lachlan quickly changed the subject. "I thought of two people who are related to that moon on your arm."
Eliza rubbed it nervously. "And?"
"Artemis and Selene," Lachlan said.
"Can't be. Selene faded along with Helios millennia ago and Artemis is a maiden goddess. Thanks for trying anyway." Eliza leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
Lachlan felt woozy. "Bye," Eliza called then she ran off back to the camp. Lachlan stumbled after her but fell on his face and went to sleep.
He woke up in his bed. Lachlan had no idea how he had got there. He threw off the sheets and climbed out. He stumbled outside and saw the camp in a war zone. Campers were attacking each other with swords, punching and killing anyone in sight. Lachlan saw Eliza running around, trying to stop the madness. A sword pierced her from behind. Eliza fell to the ground. Lachlan let loose a guttural scream.
This time he woke up for real. He was still on the hill where he had fell over but it looked late in the afternoon. He got to his feet and ran for the dinner pavilion.
Chiron was in the middle of announcements when Lachlan's feet echoed on the pavement. Everyone turned to look at him. "Son of Zeus. You deserve no dinner. Being late and attacking another camper," Chiron said.
"He attacked me first!" Lachlan scanned the room and found the Row kid smiling with his arm in a sling and a scar on his face.
"Son of Zeus. Go." Thunder boomed. Chiron looked up at the sky. "Sorry my lord but he has done some not very heroic things today." Thunder boomed again. "Fine. He may participate in capture the flag."
An excited murmur broke out through the crowd. Chiron stomped his hoof. "Lachlan. To your cabin. Assemble in the middle of the green at seven."
Lachlan turned and walked back to his cabin. Once he got their, he threw his stuff at the wall. "Stupid Chiron. Stupid Row," he muttered. There was a knock at the door. "It's unlocked," Lachlan called.
The door opened and Eliza walked in. "Hi," she said.
"What?"
Eliza reached into her pocket and brought out a plastic sandwich bag with some food from dinner in it. Eliza tossed to him. "I brought you this."
Lachlan caught it. "Do you know how much trouble you could get in for doing this?"
Eliza shrugged. "I don't care. See you at seven." Eliza left the room, closing the door after herself. Lachlan opened the sandwich bag and started to eat. Gods he loved that girl.
