OK so here's my next chapter.
I only own the things you don't remember in the you don't remember from the series
Chapter 3
Calem led me to a big huge cabin. As we entered we saw a chubby man who looked like a little cupid who was holding a mega cup of soda, no I don't know what soda. Anyway he was playing a game of Pac-man, the ones you find in the arcade. Calem cleared his throat, and the man looked up.
"Oh it's you Corbin." he said.
"Yes it's me and it's Calem." Calem said, emphasizing his name, but didn't look surprised. In fact he looked annoyed, like it happened all the time, and in the letters she had received that it probably was true.
"What is it that kids say now a days, whatever," he looked a little lost but nodded, "whatever Christen."
Just then Calem pulled me away from him and closer to Mr. D, yes I just realized that he is Mr. D, gosh don't need to rub it in. Mr. D pulled out a clipboard and paper.
"Name?" he asked me. His pen hovering over the paper.
"Aurora Caudwell." I told him loud and clearly as he wrote down the name, probably the wrong one.
"Age?"
"Eleven."
"Godly parent?"
"Undetermined." Calem answered for me.
"Alright," Mr. D sighed holding out your shirt that was bright orange and said Camp Half- Blood on it, " here's your shirt and get out."
Calem grabbed the shirt for me and pulled me out the room in a rush.
"Nice camp director we have huh?" Calem said, I laughed, " if you think that he's nice then you should meet Chiron." I looked a little worried at that.
"Don't worry," he told me, " he's way nicer then Mr. D." and pulled me along to a place that looked like the roman coliseum.
Inside there were people shooting arrows at targets, running around the perimeter of the coliseum, fighting dummies and each other. In the midst of it all stood a man with brown hair and eyes. From the torso up was a real man, but from the torso to the bottom was a white horse. He was holding a bow and arrow showing a few people how to shoot it properly.
"That's Chiron." Calem told me. I nodded dumbly, still in shock that it was the Chiron from the stories. He pushed me towards him. I almost fell over.
Apparently, Calem didn't understand that I didn't want to move, so he kept pushing me towards him. When we were almost to Chiron I snapped.
"I can walk be myself!" I told him. It came out way louder then I excepted. It was so loud that everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me. I blushed and took cover behind Calem. After another minute of silence someone spoke up.
"Alright children get back to training."
Calem turned me around and there was Chiron looking down at me. He looked like he was determining who I was or if he recognized me. Well he didn't and said, " A new camper, I presume." I nodded, " Undetermined?" he guessed, again I nodded.
"Well let's start training. Go get a bow and arrow." he said pointing to a section filled with bows and another with arrows. I did.
He showed my how to hold it properly. After my first two shots I hit a bulls-eye.
"Do that again." he commanded.
I did and again I hit the bulls-eye.
After a whole afternoon of training I now knew that I did good at bows and arrows, running (of course I already knew that, but I could almost keep up with the nymphs so I was pretty excited), and I was pretty good at making some music.
Calem decided he wanted me to meet some of his half sisters, the ones who weren't really, really girly. He walked me to a group of girls who were giggling about something, probably how bad I looked.
"Hi Tina, Tiffany, Hailey, Abby, Sally. This is my best friend Aurora Caudwell." Calem said.
"Aurora this is Abby, Hailey, Sally, Tiffany, Tina." he said pointing to each person as they each said hi. I gave a little wave thinking that I would never be able to remember each of their names.
"Aurora, that's such a pretty name." one girl said. The others nodded in agreement.
"So Aurora do you have any idea who your parent might be?' one asked. I shook my head. They were about to drill me with more questions when Calem butted in,
"I think it's time to be going, right Aurora?" I nodded, and he pulled me away, causing the group of girls to erupt into laughter.
As we left I heard a murmur of voices and the sound of money being exchanged. I groaned inwardly. Calem then led me to a big worn down cabin that had the paint pealing off it.
"Aurora, meet the Hermes cabin." he said throwing his hands out in the welcoming position. Then he pulled open the door, a girl with brown hair and light blue eyes who looked about 12 ,looked up and said in a dreary voice,
"Welcome to the Hermes cabin. Home of Hermes' children and undetermined campers."
As she finished a older looking girl came around the corner and said in a cherry voice,
"Megan that's no way to introduce the Hermes cabin, but all well," then she looked at me and said, " I'm Cornelia, follow me to your new spot."
I did and she led me to one of the only empty spots in the whole cabin. I sat down, and gave her a look that said 'now what?'
" I'll snag you a sleeping bag and some toiletries later but for now here's your new spot. So enjoy." she said and walked off.
I grabbed my bag and dug around for my red camera. I stood up and took a picture of my new living space for the moment. Then I took a picture of the people in the cabin, some people on beds, but most of the people were on the floor. Some weren't talking and looked depressed, others animatedly talked to each other.
Happily, I thought, 'Well if no one's going to say I guess I will. Welcome to your new home Aurora.'
So how was this chapter. I got it longer then I usually do it, so I'm proud of myself. If you liked it tell me in a review.
Thanks for reading!
YAY
