Yay, Aaralynn Sovann is here ", Iren shouts and ran inside.
Bridgette smiles at her, "Come on, I'll show you your room", she states as they walk inside.
The inside of the house has a hidden dark "romance" vibe, but it is beautiful. The walls are blue decorated with plants, pearls, and some fruits that she has never seen before. There is an open roofed part of the house, which has a pond which contains aquatic life with a waterfall in the middle of the room, there is also Japanese bridge going over it, and trees in the room as well. The banisters are pure glass, and the motion-detecting light system was perfect,
Some song booms on the speakers, The State We're In by the Chemical Brothers, as Aaralynn dances her way down stairs, "Hallo, Leute", she greets in German.
Sage smiles and shake her hand," Hallo, ich bin Sage, nett zu mir Sie", she states.
Aaralynn is suprised," Wow, Sie gut Deutsch sprechen, ich bin Aaralynn Sovann, Willkommen zu Camp Half-Blood" she replies with a smile
Iren put his hand on his chest, "Wow, I didn't know you could speak German", he remarks happily.
Sage stares at him, I didn't know I could speak German, she thinks to herself. She catches Bridgette waiting for her to follow her up the stairs, "Oh, I'm sorry, Bridgette, Um, nice to meet you", Sage tells Aaralynn and follow Bridgette up the stairs.
The hall way has little streams running along each side, because back in the old days, water is a way of warding off spirits. They stop in front of double doors, "Before, you step inside, please don't have a heart attack, because when Amber saw her room she started to have a seizure and we really can't afford that.", she hints
Great, now she's afraid to enter the room. The doors open and she gaps at it.
The Big House
Mr. D sat on his couch near the fire place in the big house; he looks very annoyed by Chiron's altercations. Chiron paces back in forth in frustration,
"I don't get it, first, Sayers, second, Karl, third, Michael, fourth, Bridgette and now Ariadne, all demigods, who have shown up out of nowhere" he orders.
"I think someone is playing deliberately with our heads, a titan, maybe a god, a creature, or worse", Mr. D replies sarcastically.
"No doubt, but, where could've those five children have been; No, satyr has even found their locations yet", Chiron explains.
Mr. D put his hands on the table as if he was drained of energy, "Yes, I think that the older beings are at work here, and Vale-er Ariadne, she's", he stops, completely drained.
"Yes, I know", Chiron replies with a knowing smile.
Mr. D didn't need to reply; he turns to see a man with thousands and thousands of eyes on his body waiting for them,
"Ah, diner must be ready for those brats. Alrighty, we're coming", Mr. D orders.
Argus nods grimly, and walks out the room. Mr. D stares at Chiron, "Alright let's feed the brats", he states
Three hours ago in "supposed" bliss
Sage walks around the room, picking up some items and eventually sitting on the window seal coach. She can't tell you how relieved she feels. The room has blue, orange, and purple paint for each wall. The window/balcony faces the sea directly as the scent of it fills the summer air. The vibrant white curtains are decorated with miniatures of Sage's favorite sea animal, sea turtles. She can tell that the furniture was created by White Sea wood, and some juniper mixed within. The floors are a mixture of pearls and pebbles, and when she steps onto it, her feet warmed up instantly. She has a full-sized bed with white and black covers decorated with more miniature sea turtles. They smell of sea mist and the beach, including two huge pillows. On the nightstand is a lamp that is attached to a jar filled with shells, pearls, and sand. Inside the drawers are some books about marine biology, poems, Greek tragedies and mythical creatures. The bathroom has a clean old style shower and marble bathtub. The shower door has little black and white pictures of Audrey Hepburn from her movies. Sage loves her so much she is her favorite actress. On the side of the tub was a mirror decorated with glowing pearls of different colors. The sink is pure white, and the toilet is…..a toilet. She also acknowledged the walk in closet separated in fours. She didn't mind sharing with four girls as long as they were nice and not bringing boyfriends in the room and making out with them or phone sex for that matter. She felt out of place, like a fish out of water. She didn't want to live in luxury, nor did she have the time too. She needs to focus on her duty, what she's suppose to do…what she's forced to do.
Flashback:
Sage was running through the dark woods in North Carolina; she was trying to get away from some monsters on her trail. She just turned twelve years old and was half way through 7th grade. She remembered the unearthly swamp's unusual stench, muddy grass, and murky green water. The webs from the trees constantly hit her face, but she had no time to check for spiders. She could hear the monsters' growls getting louder and she couldn't run anymore. In blind fear she went to the left, only to trip over a rock. She heard a giant crack and tears began rim her eyes from the unbearable pain. She looked up to see the monster, he was extremely pale, a mouth full with too much teeth, and four arms covered in blood. It smiled a cheesy grin, "I'm going to enjoy this", it screeched.
She turned to drag herself towards the open field with the searing pain in her leg. The monster opens his mouth and a swarm of unknown bugs flew at her. She covered her face immediately, but that didn't stop the attack. The bugs were always attached to the host. They had little mouths filled with acid that could melt victim's skin, and when they finally immobilize their victim their master could have their dinner. Sage remembered her screaming and calling for help, but no one was going to help her, not even her father. When the bugs did as much damage as that they could, she began to go numb and she remembered the monster's face and his grin. This was the end.
When she was about to be eaten, a ball of gold energy smashed the monster into bits, and his little minions began to explode seconds later. A woman knelt at her side and touched her forehead, "Come child, let's get you out of here", she whispered. She was carried to the hut by the mysterious woman at the edge of the woods.
The woman, Cynthia, was a witch and she already knew Sage's plight. She was told the truth about everything. She found out how her mother really died, who was her real father, and about the Olympians. Cynthia told her that her real father had murdered her mother and the revenge that she seeks is to murder him in return. Sage couldn't do it at first. But she remembered the blood on the walls and her mother's motionless body on the floor of the kitchen. It wasn't long until Sage agreed. The plan was simple track down her father at the camp, find the three items of magic with the curse of lust, wrath, and justice, take the magic to create the weapon, and kill him.
Sage wondered if she'd be up to the task.
End of Flashback
Sage left for the cinema theater in the basement to find the items she needed, only to flip out. They had a huge flat LC TV on the wall, and Xbox 360 elite hooked up to it. The couches turn color according to mood, right they were violet. She sat down and turned on the Xbox, and grabbed the controller. The machine beeps three times and a female voice records,
"Name a game, resident", it says
"Halo 2", She replies
"One moment", it says
The screen turns black and the Bungee emblem shows on the screen, and all of a sudden, like magic theme of halo plays and the menu shows up. Maybe I could play this for a little while, at least to dinnertime, she thought.
She didn't know how many hours she stood there playing the game, but the night is pitched black, and the plants in my room start to glow simultaneously. Someone knocks on the basement door,
"Wait a minute! Oh, shit" she mutters and pause the game.
The moment the screen turns black, a figure of man reflects on the screen. He looks at her with those freaky looking eyes and his limbs were misplaced. He looked sickly, and inhuman; "his memory is a dark abyss that no one can remember, just feelings" she remembered Cynthia saying. She felt empty, as if she has melted away from the world as she stared at him. Free me. The figure disappears. She turns around in fear; she was covered in cold sweat, and ran towards the windows to close them. She almost trips opening the door to see Bridgette, "Hey, Sage, dinner time is ready, it's camp tradition the—um, are you okay", she asks curiously.
She nods slowly, and kept turning her head hoping to see that whatever it was, isn't in the basement, "Well, let's head out", she cheerfully orders as she pulled her out my room.
