Hey! So I was SOOO HAPPY when I checked my e-mail, cause I got a TON of reviews! And also, I got some last names-thank you, thalicopercabeth12:) -for Mori's brothers! YAY! I'd also like to thank thalicopercebeth12, DragonsAreAwesome, strawberrylover, and Sk8erAngel911 for all your reviews!
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO; only my characters and a bouncy ball that I was playing with yesterday and broke my mom's vase with! YAY!
Mom: THAT WAS YOU?
Me: Um…no?
Peter: Yes. Yes it was.
Me: HOW ARE YOU HERE?
Scott: *Smiles*
Me: *whacks Scott and Peter with tennis racket* EVIL SON OF HERMES! Oh, hi mom!
Mori's POV
The next day, everyone stared at me; well, they did until Drake got mad about it and started screaming his head off at them.
I've never had a protective older brother and my brothers have never had a little sister to protect. Let me paint you a picture of my brothers:
Drake Rills: almost seventeen, black hair, pale skin, and dark black eyes. Drake's the kind of guy who will punch any guy in the nose for even looking at me. He's SUPER protective.
Reis Hales: seventeen, pitch black hair, olive skin, deep black eyes. Reis' the cabin counselor, so he's the oldest of the four. He's always been sweet and protective towards me.
Adrian Halfels: sixteen, looks exactly like Drake, and is slightly protective of his family. But, he's still a huge prankster.
And lastly, Aeron Faes: fifteen, only two years older than me. Aeron's the one who has stuck by my side. He did in the meeting, that is.
Overall, my brothers are probably the closet thing I've had to a family my whole life.
"Mori!" I turn around only to get tackled in one of Scott's hugs. I laugh as Drake growls.
"Sup Callister?" He smiles.
"Not much, Crasse." He glances at my brothers, who are trying desperately to hit the target with an arrow. "Why is he looking at me?"
He points at Drake and I laugh again. "Drake, chill. He's been like my bro since we were five," He smiles at that and tries to hit the target again. Tries. Instead, he shoots it over to the Athena kids and it lands about an inch away from Kennady's foot. She yelps and glares at Drake as she stalks over. "Tell your brother to watch where he hits that thing, Mori,"
I fake salute. "Will due, Captain Harvings!" She rolls her eyes and punches my shoulder playfully.
"Yeah, yeah, Sergeant Sarcasm. You got it," I laugh again.
Carrie runs up to us. "Gods, Kenny, is this archery or gossip group?"
Kenny and I look at each other and say, "Gossip group,"
The Athena leader, Annabeth, calls, "Carrie! Kenny! Come on!" I slant my eyes at her and Kenny sighs. "Oh, yeah. I forgot; you've already met Annabeth. Look, Mori, she's really not that bad. She just hates not knowing things," With that, they hug me before sprinting back over to their cabins. Scott puts a hand on my shoulder. "You okay?" I nod and smile.
He's just turning to leave when I grab his hand. I look back over to make sure my brothers aren't looking. They aren't. I reach up on my tip-toes and kiss Scott on the cheek lightly. Then I run back to my brothers and don't look back.
I raise my bow and get in the position the teacher, Will, showed us. Taking a breath, I close my eyes and release my arrow.
"Holy! How'd you do that Mori?" Aeron calls. I open my eyes and see the arrow in the center of a target.
Bull's eye.
Everyone gawks at me and I shrug. "What?"
Reis says, "I can't name one child of Thanatos that can shoot archery."
"Lucky shot?" I ask, hopeful.
"Do it again," Will says. I sigh and grab another arrow.
Raising my bow, I get in the position again. I release the arrow.
It sails and splits the first arrow I shot; another bull's eye. Everyone gapes at me while Will just smiles and tells me to do it again.
Apparently "again" means ten more times. I split at least a whole quiver. Smiling, Will runs off to get Chiron. No one speaks as the centaur comes back, Will running at his side.
"What is it I have to see?" He asks, slightly annoyed.
All fingers point to me.
"Go on, Mori," Will says.
Sighing, I launch three arrows. They all split on the bull's eye.
A gong rings, signaling lunch. Chiron orders us all to the pavilion and says that we'll continue later. Quickly, I follow Chiron, my brothers at my sides. We walk over to our table. When it's our turn, we all five walk to the brazier. I scrape my best, juiciest apple in. Please, help me. Tell me something. Anything.
Sitting down at our table, I chew on my other apple.
"So, Mori—" Adrian starts. I hold up my hand and stop him.
"I swear, if you ask me how I shot those again, I will shoot and arrow so far up your ass—!"
"Mori!" Drake exclaims. Aeron laugh while Reis rolls his eyes.
"Attention!" Chiron calls. "There will be another meeting after lunch in the Big House,"
Anger pours out of me. "Really? I shoot a couple good arrows and now he has to call a freaking' meeting about it?" I ask my brothers.
"Look on the bright side," Reis says. "No Ancient Greek class,"
Yay.
As soon as lunch is over, all the counselors rush over to the Rec room. Sadly, Reis drags me along with him. Aeron, Drake, and Adrian say goodbye before we sprint off. As soon as I walk in, everyone goes quiet. I roll my eyes and sit next to Reis.
Across the room, I can see Nico staring at me. Great. Now I have my own personal stalker. Fun!
I ask Reis who everyone is. "Percy Jackson, Poseidon; Annabeth Chase, Athena; Katie Gardner, Demeter; Drew, from Aphrodite-just ignore her-; Jake Mason, Hephaestus; Will Solace, Apollo; Travis and Conner Stoll, Hermes; Clarisse La Rue, Ares; Pollux, Dionysus; and Nico di Angelo, Hades. Though you already know him." I give him my best death glare and he smiles. "Of course, there are the minor gods' cabins, like us, but if I told you all of them, we would be here all night."
I shrug.
Clarisse says, "What's all this about, Chiron?"
The old centaur sighs. "One, we never finished the last meeting," A couple heads turn to me and I smile big. "And two, we learned something new about our daughter of Thanatos. Will?"
He stands up. "When I was teaching archery today, Mori hit the bull's eye every single time,"
Chiron nods. "As you all know, I have been here for quite some time and I have never seen a child of Thanatos good at archery."
I scoff. "So? You've never seen a daughter of Thanatos either. So, why can't I be able to shoot archery? True, my brothers suck royally but I'm not them. Is it so hard to believe I'm different?"
Chiron sighs. "It's not just that Mori. You're forbidden,"
And that is Chapter six!
Its kind of a long one, too! So YAY!
Thanks for reading!
REVIEW! Oh, and I might put my other story on hold for a while, just until I get this story done:)
