Chapter 3
Of
Everything a Child of Hermes Needs to Know
Chapter title;
To the Prank Cave
…
Recap;
"Travis, wait up!" I stopped since this person did not sound like they wanted to murder me. I turned it was Katie, the same Katie who had gotten me a super awesome video game, the same Katie who I talked about in my sleep, the same Katie who kissed me, the same Katie who well you get the point. Gods I hope this doesn't get too awkward.
"Hey Travis."
"Hey Katie…"
"Listen," she said, "about last night.."
"Umm yeah. What about last night?" So much for this not getting awkward, because this was getting very awkward, very fast.
… "About umm, you know the video game. Do you like it?" She (Katie) asked.
"Oh, yeah…um well see I really haven't had a chance to try it out yet," her face fell at that and I felt horrid for not playing it yet, "No not like that, I wanted to play it but Connor dragged me off to go prank people."
"Ohh, so that's why I can hear Annabeth shrieking and see Clarisse heading over this way looking ready to kill."
"Yeah that's exactly why…Wait. What!""I shrieked letting her words sink in. I looked behind me.
"TRAVIS STOLL! I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD HANG NEXT TO YOUR BROTHERS ABOVE MY BUNK!" Yup, Clarisse was most defiantly pissed, and ready to kill Connor and me for our heads . Shit. Crap. Damn. I swore mentally using every swear word I had ever learned.
"I think she's mad." Katie said. I sent her a look that meant no duh in Travis language. I looked around wildly for Connor, I groaned mentally when I couldn't find him. I wasn't surprised he had ditched me though, when I found him he wasn't going to have to worry about Clarisse killing him, I would complete that job. Without thinking I grabbed Katie's hand, pulling her so it looked like we were running into the woods, because I knew Clarisse wouldn't spare her now that she had just seen her talking to me.
"Hurry, let's go." I whispered even though there wasn't any reason for it, it just sounded cool. I made it look as if we were running off into the woods behind the Hermes Cabin. But instead of going into the forest I pulled the branch on the tree, and the door opened for us. I shoved Katie inside hurriedly following her myself making sure to hit the switch behind me. I sighed as I heard Clarisse and all her wrath run past.
I signaled to Katie it was safe to talk again. "Where the Hades are we Stoll?" she practically yelled. Ah, it was almost pleasing to hear her yelling at me again, it was almost like normal, almost.
"Gessh, Katie I said you could talk not yell. If you couldn't tell this place is kind of a secret." I rolled my eyes at her.
""Fine." She said. "Where in Hades are we?"
"We are not in Hades at all." I answered. "We are in The Prank Cave!" I added emphasis to my words.
"No yelling Travis." She said mimicking my voice.
"I wasn't yelling!" I protested. "I was just adding emphasis to-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," She said waving me off with her hand. "So care to tell me what exactly the prank cave is?"
"The prank cave is an awesome, amazing, spectacular, great, fun, fantastic-"
I was cut off once again by Katie this was getting kind of annoying, "Get to the point." She said.
"Fine." I huffed. "The prank cave is a place Connor and I found when we were running from Clarisse because we had just pranked her and Connor decided to try and climb the tree and hide so she couldn't see him. He pulled on some branch and then this door opened. He pushed me inside and we found this place. Although it did take us like three and a half hours to figure out how to get out and we missed dinner but it was worth it.
"So," Katie began, "When do I get to see this amazing prank cave?"
"You don't." I said, "But do you have a light, of any kind."
"What do you mean I don't get to see it?" she protested. "And yes I do have a light, why?"
"Because the prank cave is closed to outsiders, no matter what they got me for my birthday." I said. "I need the light so I can see down the path, because Connor refuses to install electric lighting, and he ditched me outside today and he had the flashlight."
"That's not fair, if you get my light I get to see the prank cave. It's a deal or no deal option." She said. Dang it, I thought she really had worked out every angle here, if I didn't know better I would've thought she was a daughter of Athena.
"Fine." I sighed knowing I was breaking every rule, which wasn't that hard to do considering there was only one rule, never ever show anyone the prank cave, but Katie was persistent she would figure out her way back in, and who knows maybe this would be beneficial to Connor and me. I highly doubted it though. "Give me the light." I said.
She handed me a very small pocket light and I mentally groaned, I seemed to be doing that a lot today. I hit the on switch and the brightest light I had ever seen came blaring on, it was so bright it blinded me and in that moment I was tackled by Katie.
"Huh, wait," I said, "what's going on, KATIE!" That was the last thing I remembered before blacking out because of the super bright lights. If I could've I would've groaned mentally.
Didn't expect that did ya now?
I seriously considered stopping it here, but thought naw I'm not that mean, so READ ON!
When I awoke I was back in the Athena Cabin, Gods I just apparently could not get enough of this place today. My head was pounding, and my moth was dry, but even so I managed to remember Katie tackling me, and everything going black around me. I groaned, out loud this time, not mentally. I looked around, I don't know exactly what I was looking for but my eyes landed on a clump of curly hair, the same color as mine.
"Connor!" I yelled. Oops, I probably shouldn't have done that, now whoever put me here is probably on their way here, but none the less I reached out my feet which were tied together and tried to nudge my brother. It didn't turn out so successful because my feet and hands were tied together, I slipped and ended up kicking him. Hard. Something rolled out of his pocket, but I didn't pay it any attention my only thought was, ouch, that's going to hurt. Either way he didn't stir. I looked around trying to find the time at least; I saw the clock on the far wall blinking 10:02. Holy Aphrodite I slept through yesterday, it's a whole different day. I didn't care how confused I was with Katie, she and whoever else did this were going to pay! They made me miss dinner, and campfire. We were going to make smores with rainbow marshmallows last night too!
I must have nodded off in my feelings of sadness for missing my rainbow marshmallow smores last night. I woke an hour later when I heard footsteps walk in, my senses snapped to alert. I looked up to see Annabeth, Percy, and Katie (the traitor). I kicked violently trying to escape my bonds. In my mind the Athena Cabin should be dark, empty, mysterious even, but noooo Gaea never wants to work with me. Instead she chooses to make it a gorgeous, sunny, btight day with campers running around outside. Of course the camps magical borders might have something to do with that too…
"Sorry Travis." Katie said looking genuinely sorry, but when someone betrayed me they paid for it, and not with cash/drachmas. Maybe with gold…but only maybe. I'm getting off topic here, back to the Athena Cabin. "
"We had to tie you up for fear of what pranks you would do next, you don't leave unless you promise never ever to prank again." Annabeth said
"I can hardly remember what my name is much less what our next prank is, Katie here tackled me so hard." She blushed and mumbled a sorry looking down.
"I'm serious,what is my name? Who are you guys? What's going on? Where the hell am I?
"Well he certainly didn't forget his language." Percy said. I just looked at him all confused like, which wasn't that hard since I had no idea what was going on.
Annabeth sighed and turned and looked at Katie asking, "Katie how hard did you tackle him?"
"Hard." Was her only reply.
Annabeth sighed and said, "Well with him not remembering I say, you (Katie) take him to the infirmary, and get him treated. I don't need Chiron after me."
"For like the first time ever." Percy said earning a glare from Annabeth.
Katie sighed and grabbed a knife from her belt and sliced the ropes off of my arms and feet. I wanted to jump up and start running but I couldn't not if I wanted my plan to work. So I stood still acting like I had no idea what was going on, which wasn't that hard to do since I actually did have no idea.
She led me out of the cabin and to the infirmary it was pretty quiet walk there, halfway there I stopped to pause at a bush of daffodils and pull a Tyson and ask "What's that?" That launched Katie into a long speech about daffodils and their great beauty and yada yada yada. While she had her back to me I pulled the book out of my back pocket and went to the back and typed into the small computer I had discovered when I was reading earlier, I had found the book when I had accidently kicked Connor and it fell out of his back pocket. I typed in sleeping shot, you held it on a person and they fell asleep for at least eight hours which was more than enough time I needed to escape. Once it had materialized in my hands, I took it and slapped it on Katie's arm it got her to stop talking about her stupid daffodils. I put her behind her stupid daffodil bush with her stupid daffodils, which she obviously cared about more than me, wait back up a second I don't care who she cares about. I don't but then why did I doubt myself so much?
I walked back to the prank cave not at all concerned Annabeth and Percy would be following me, at least not yet. I grabbed Katie's flashlight out of my pocket, which had conviently been there. I pulled the branch and walked into the long, dark corridor making my way to the prank room.
Again I considered stopping here but figured that would kind of kill the meaning of the chapter title and I would have to change that, which would require more thinking, and personally, I don't know about you but my brain is very limited to thinking at the moment. Lol
When I reached the prank room the first thing I did was sigh, not groan. Connor had been here at some point recently and it showed, I didn't mind messes, I minded week old pizza crusts that were growing mold laying on the ground. Either way I was eating here for lunch, so I better hope he left some food.
I found a pizza box in the freezer, heated it and ate it , while looking at Camp Gateways, maps showing you how to sneak into cabins. I needed to rescue Connor from Athena, even though he annoyed me sometimes he was still my brother(as much as he protested I was an alien and we weren't really related). I reread the article explaining directions on how to find the door to sneak into the Athena cabin, I turned on the TV, not to actually watch a show, well I guess it could be called Lunch at the Pavilion, I looked to see if the Athena cabin was there yet, they were, I snuck a glance at Demeter, no Katie, I saw Annabeth looking at it worried like, it wouldn't be long before she started a search party, I only had so long to do this.
I went to the near wall and pressed a button Γ, it was the symbol for H (if that was wrong, it was the stupid translators fault, I don't know Greek!) it stood for Hermes. Kind of like the mark of Dadeleus (A.N. spelling? I don't feel like looking it up.), but the mark of Hermes. Anyway I hit the button it glowed and opened reveling a long corridor, without electric lighting, I swear when I rescue Connor we are so putting lights in everywhere, seriously how stupid is it that only the actual prank room is lit. Siging I pulled out the flashlight and turned it on the bright light, not as blinding as before now that I was expecting it. I walked forward.'
The doors hissed as they opened and revealed before me was the Athena cabin with Connor laying on the floor out cold. I looked towards the door, they had certainly expected me to come back, the door was rigged with all kinds of explosives and traps. But where I was, I was perfectly safe for now at least, I grabbed Connor and dragged him across the floor to the secret door, I wondered if he had woken at all while I was gone. Then we stepped into the secret door, well I stepped Connor was dragged, and just in time too. Just as the door closed I heard a door open, I waited for the bombs to go off , but notghing happened, dang, all that happened was a shrielk of;at there
"HE'S GONE!"
I just sat there and stared and stared and stared silently willing Connor to wakeup, I had debated bringing him to Apollo but decided against it, so here I was now just thinking at him to WAKE UP! Damn, it didn't work, so much for this brother telekinesis thing we had been working on. I was still sitting there when my half-sister Adriane walked in.
" Hey, what ya doin?" she gave me a strange look when she saw me sitting there staring at Connor.
"Using my nonexistent telekinesis to get Connor to WAKE THE HELL UP!" I yelled the last part hoping it would have some effect on Connor , nothing happened, not even a shift of bodily movement.
My half-sister looked at me as if trying to decide if I was crazy or not, "May I try something?" she asked.
"Sure, why not? Good luck though." I didn't think she'd actually be able to wake him, but what the heck, it was worth a shot, right?
"Thanks." She said and I moved out of the way so she'd be able to see him better . ":Connor," she said shaking him gently, "Connor, I made chocolate pancakes, if you don't wake up now you're not getting any." I didn't think it'd work but what do I know? Not even thirty seconds after she had said this he began to move.
I turned to her in amazement and asked, "How did you do that?"
"Easy."She replied. "Every way to a man's mind is through his stomach." And with that said she walked ou of the cabin, leaving me with Connor, who slapped me as soon as he opened his eyes.
"OW!" I yelled. "What was that for?"
"Nothing, you just looked tired… so I slapped you to wake you up." He said, yep all that sleep did nothing to affect him, he was still the same old Connor. And seriously, I was the one who looked asleep, I won't even tell you how many times I slapped him to get him to wake up, useless effect.
"So here's the plan," Connor said filling me in, we were going to dump a bunch of water on the Poseidon Cabin, after Connor had woken up I had gone and showered, and Connor had found a prank in the book for Poseidon and set it up in the fifteen minutes I had taken to shower, sometimes I wonder if maybe he's wrong and he's the alien not me.
We were going to dump 10 tons of water on the Poseidon Cabin, it was going to be drenched by the time we were done, mwahaha. We were amazing! Connor had set up invisible buckets (provided by the book) on invisible string (again provided by the book) above the cabin now all we had to do was press the button on the remote, no one would even know it was us, that was the best part. I mean Chiron would have his suspicions, but no evidence to prove it was us, at least I hoped…
We were eating dinner at the pavilion, when Connor pressed the button the sound of the water dumping on the Poseidon Cabin was deafening it sounded like a a rainstorm and tsunami all in one, in other words it was awesome. The whole camp was shocked by the noise and looked around to try and find where it came from, everyone would probably have gone back to their dinner and dismissed it for now if a certain son of Poseidon hadn't come up.
"What the heck?" He yelled straight at Connor and me, "Why did you just dump all of that water on my cabin?"
We looked up at him with innocent eyes, "We did no such thing Percy," I said, "we've been here the whole time, ask anyone. How would we've done it?"
"I don't know he admitted," now beginning to realize the camp's eyes were on him, "but I know you did it!" H e looked ready to send a ten foot wave on us, thankfully Chiron interrupted.
"It's true Percy," he admitted, "they've been here the whole entire time." I could see Percy trying to come up with another argument.
Connor spoke, "I'm leaving, I can't eat in a place of accusation." It would've been a great dramatic exit, had when he stood up had he not banged into the table causing the remote in his pocket to fall oput and slide across the pavilion. You would've thought it was a bomb at the way everyone got quiet, Connor and me stared at it in horror.
"Told you!" Percy said triumphantly looking quite smug.
"Boys," Chiron said looking furious, "Big house. Now." Crap.
So what do you think it's my longest chapter yet, so it has to be somewhat good. I dedicate this to April Fool's Day, I was going to make it today in the story but decided against it so instead I dedicated it to today! I'm going to go into more detail of the prank in my next chapter. Along with what happened to Katie. So I had tests from 8:30-1:00 today in school, I only didn't have a test in History and Art, then I went to my friends to work on our rap project, for school . We have to rap about something for Music class and we did our rap about crazy hair. It was really fun because we got to dye our hair and everything, it was hilarious. So I hope you liked this chapter! REVIEW!
