Three years later, Sarah`s POV
The first thing that came to mind when I saw my broken guitar: "Will, you idiot!"
My half brother`s blond head popped out from the bathroom, where he was apparently brushing his teeth.
"Whyaella ameee?" He asked.
"What?" I asked, discusted with the tooth paste dripping from his mouth.
His head disapeared, I heard a spit, and he came out a moment later.
"Why are you yelling at me?"
I pointed to the guitar, which was snapped in half.
He rubbed the back of his neck and blushed. "Oh, yeah. Well, you know I`m not that great with a sword and..."
I sighed. "You`re an idiot. Where`s Callie?"
He shrugged. "Probably with Alexa."
Alexa was Callie`s best friend. I was pretty much back up, in case Alexa couldn't hang out. But that was fine by me. I had my own best friend. Haylee, daughter of Demeter. I had met her when she first came to camp two years ago.
I forgave Will for the guitar and went to find Haylee. It wasn't hard. She was in the strawberry fields. Her dark brown hair was pulled back in a braid. When she saw me, she told Katie Gardner that she was leaving and ran to meet me.
"Hey," She said.
"Hi."
"I saw your sister earlier." Haylee said, "She was with the Stolls and Alexa. They pranked our cabin. Again."
I frowned. "Sorry, Haylee. Callie`s alway`s been like that."
"She`d better stop," Haylee warned. "Katie's getting annoyed."
We walked in silence for a little bit. Not a lot of things at camp had changed since Callie and I got here. The Stolls were pranking. Percy and Annabeth were flirting, though they wouldn't admit it. Lee was arguing with Micheal. Chiron and Mr. D were playing Pinochle.
It was home now. Callie and I hadn`t talked to our mom since she left on that trip. We had always meant to call her, to go home. We just never did.
"Wanna go through the woods?" Haylee suggested, jarring my thoughts.
"Huh?" I asked, "Oh. Yeah, sure."
I adjusted my bow on my back and followed after her. For some reason, I found myself playing with the bracelet on my wrist. It had been a gift from Apollo. It didn't look like much, just a silver bracelet with a charm in the shape of a musical note. But when you took it off, it would transform into any instrument that you wanted. Callie had one too, exept hers was purple instead of green.
Again, I wondered what made me think of this stuff. Mabye because it was nearing Thanksgiving? Was Callie feeling like we should go back to our mother`s for a while? I decided to aske her the next time I saw her.
I heard something crunch, and reached for my bow. Haylee pulled her sword from her belt and readied herself for battle. Instead, Justin Crow, son of Aphrodite emerged from the forest.
He was fourteen, a year older than me. He was tall and had black hair and brown eyes, and unlike the Aphrodite girls, the boys were not that bad. He put his hands up in surrender and smiled.
"Whoa, girls! Don't kill me!" He laughed.
I lowered my bow. Haylee reluctantly put her sword away and glared at him.
"Why are you unarmed?" I asked.
"I`m not," He proved it by unsheething a sword. "You`re Sarah, right?"
I nodded and Haylee humphed.
"I`m friends with your sister."
"That`s nice, I guess." I said.
"We have to go!" Haylee said, pulling me away.
"We do?" I asked.
"Yes! We do! Bye Jason!"
"It`s Justin, actually." He said. "But I`ll see you guys later!"
"Yeah, don't count on it." Haylee grumbled.
When she stopped pulling me, I glared at her. "What was that about?"
"The children of Aphrodite are flirts!" She cried, "You know that! And you were flirting right back!"
"I was not flirting!"
"You were to. Now, let`s get as far away from that jerk as possible." She said.
I rolled my eyes and followed her through the thick forest. When did my life get so whacky?
