Okay, first of all. This is already the fourth chapter and I still have only 6 reviews ?! Come on, you guys can do better! I honestly have no idea where this story is going, so I need ideas.
On a happier note: Woo hoo! I have finally written something on my profile so you can go check it out! (please do)
Disclaimer: *in a strange accent to make it more fun to say* I 'on't own nofink but da plot o' dis story.
1.
Sadie
I stood on my balcony leaning on the railing with my arms folded. I don't know why I didn't bother to put a coat on, even though it was the middle of February. I guess I just didn't feel like it. I hadn't really felt like anything recently; not without Carter here...
It had been a week since the incident at the Brooklyn Museum, and Carter was still missing; kidnapped no doubt by those strange kids I saw at the museum.
When Uncle Amos had heard what had happened, he had rushed to the museum to find Walt, Jaz and me unconscious; Carter was nowhere to be found.
When I had awoken I was in the infirmary at Brooklyn House. I explained to Amos and Bast what had happened and what I had heard after the building had collapsed. Bast agreed that those kids had "Kidnapped her kitten and would pay!" (to quote what she said)
No matter where we searched or what kind of spell we used though, we found no trace of Carter. Uncle Amos thought that wherever they had taken Carter, he was being veiled from us by some sort of magic.
I was worried for my brother. Even though we fight, and even though we call each other names, he is still my big brother. My big, stupid, idiotic brother, it's true. [Hey, I'm just stating the facts Carter!] But I still loved him, and I knew that no matter what, I would find him.
Jason
"Wow, this place is pretty cool!" said Carter.
I had just finished giving him the usual tour of camp. He had been out for almost a week, but once he woke up he had recovered quickly.
"We should be getting back to the big house now," I said. "Chiron said he wanted to talk to you after I showed you around." Carter nodded in agreement. "Do you know what he wanted to talk about?" He asked. "Nothing big, he said some things about where you'd be staying, general rules, you get the Idea." I replied. "Oh good, I was worried I'd have to explain myself again!" Carter said with a laugh.
Even though I had thoroughly prepared Carter mentally and told him that Chiron was a centaur etc., Chiron still greeted us in wheelchair form. He led us into the big house living room gestured for Carter and me to sit. We took a seat and Chiron said, "Well then, you must be Carter. Oh, don't worry about explaining anything," he said as Carter opened his mouth to say something. "Jason, and the others did that for you while you were, ah, out cold, as they put it nowadays.
"Now as to sleeping arrangements, as is with tradition, you would be staying in the Hermes cabin; god of travelers. But oh, I don't know if we'll see a claiming with you, as you don't seem to be a demigod. And also, with all the new unclaimed demigods we've been getting lately, I don't think they need another camper, eh?" He winked at us. "Jason, I believe your cabin is reasonably empty, would you mind if Carter stayed with you?" He asked me. "uh," I said, caught off guard by his question. "Oh, yeah, sure. What do you think, Carter? Just to warn you, it isn't the most homey of places." I asked. "Sounds fine with me." He replied.
"Excellent! Now that that's done, I have just a few more things to say before I let you go." Chiron continued. "First of all, watch your wallet around the Stoll brothers, as they like to, ah, play tricks with you. Also I don't suggest going into the forest alone and definitely not unarmed. If you value your life that is; who knows what kind of monsters could be lurking in there... I will make sure some necessary supplies make it to you by tonight: toothbrush, clothes, etc. On a happier note, off you go. Jason, why don't you show Carter where he'll be sleeping and let him get situated?" Chiron said. "Alright, will do. Come on Carter," I said, standing up and walking towards the door.
Carter
It was a lot to take in, especially in just two days. I was exhausted.
Jason had left me so I could take a nap and mull over things. He still had his normal camp schedule after all, though he had agreed to come get me before dinner. I decided to get some sleep. I would have time for thinking later...
Sorry it was a bit shorter again, I hope you liked it anyway. I'm sorry it wasn't out sooner, I haven't had much time... Anyways, as always, please review! (or PM of course)
