Yesterday's Promises and Tomorrow's future chapter 2 New campers and New job
Chonoangel94- I still don't own Percy Jackson, Twilight, or Charmed. Though I wish I did I would be rich. I still just own my OCS. So on with the story.
I watched as the rest of my demigod siblings started arriving to camp and our cabin. Finally I saw Piper come in and sit her bag on her bed.
"Hey Piper you arrived just in time for dinner." I teased my favorite sister she was a lot like me down to earth and not like the other Aphrodite kids. The two us might as well have been raised together the way we get along.
"Yeah, Yeah my ride was slow." Piper playfully defended herself.
"Did Nico tell you what we have to do after dinner?" I asked counting my Aphrodite camper to see if they were all there.
"Yeah." Piper answered as she checked what I was doing.
"Okay everyone fall in for dinner." I called to my campers. I lead my group out the door and had us fall in behind Athena's cabin to go to the dinning pavilion. We sat at our table and waited for Chiron and Mr. D to come in to start the meal. Mr. D entered first and sat at the head table and then Chiron came in leading five new campers with him.
"As I call your name you will come forward and be claimed by your godly parent. You will then go sit with your siblings at their table." Chiron announced, "Michael Ashwood." A blonde boy extremely good looking walked up to Chiron and a dove appeared over his head.
"Welcome Michael son of Aphrodite." Chiron announced pointing him to our table I graced him with one of my smiles as he joined our table. "Tanya Black." A young girl with dark black hair walked up to Chiron. A golden ring appeared above her head which caused the room to gasp loudly in shock. I quickly recalled my lessons in Greek mythology symbols and remembered that a ring was the symbol of Hera the goddess of marriage.
"Welcome Tanya daughter of Hera." Chiron announced in shock and pointed for Tanya to sit at the head table for this meal. He checked his list and smiled, "Jenna Kamiya." He announced. A tallish Japanese American girl walked over she looked about a year younger than me. A second dove appeared above her head and I smiled at her.
"Welcome Jenna daughter of Aphrodite." As she approached the table, Chiron announced the next name, "Lacey Oak." Before the young blonde girl even moved from her spot on the floor a gray dove appeared above her head. She walked over to us as Chiron announced "Welcome Lacey daughter of Aphrodite. Coral Uzamaki." He called a young maybe thirteen year old Japanese American girl shyly approached Chiron. She might be a daughter of Demeter. I thought to myself taking in her demeanor and actions.
A trident appeared over her head and I thought in surprise a daughter of Poseidon, how nice Percy gets a sibling.
"Welcome Coral daughter of Poseidon." He announced smiling warmly at the young girl and pointed her in Percy's direction. "Now that this is finished I have some announcements that need to be made. Welcome back to our old campers and let's hope for a semi-peaceful summer for once. And to our new campers welcome to Camp Half-Blood, if you have any questions feel free to come to me or any of the head counselors. Would the head counselor from each cabin please stand up and introduce yourselves."
"I'm Jason Grace son of Zeus and I'm the only camper in the one cabin." Jason introduced.
"I'm Percy Jackson son of Poseidon and I live in cabin two."
"I'm Nico di Angleo son of Hades and I live in cabin three."
"I'm Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena and I live in cabin six."
"I'm Julianna Swan daughter of Aphrodite and I live in cabin eight."
"I'm Leo Valdez son of Hephateus and I live in cabin nine."
"I'm Will son of Apollo and I live in cabin seven."
"I'm Luke son of Hermes and I live in cabin twelve."
"I'm Butch son of Iris and I live in cabin thirteen." After all the consolers finished introducing ourselves Chiron was ready to continue his speech.
"The first capture the flag game will be at the end of the week. The Aphrodite cabin will be defending against the Poseidon cabin." My table flinched at knowing capture the flag would be coming up and I smiled at them, it had been my idea for Silena to use it to train herself and the other girls. "Well enjoy your dinner." Chiron told us.
"Okay Michael, Jenna, Lacey welcome as you heard I'm Julianna Swan and I'm the head counselor for the Aphrodite cabin and if you ever need to talk or anything you can come to me. Okay now follow my lead with our dinner." I instructed my new charges as our dinner appeared. I took my plate and motioned for them to follow me to the braiser. "Okay with our first plate of food we burn half of it as an offering to the gods. When each person burns their food you say the name of your godly parent, for example we will say Aphrodite because she is our mother."
"Aphrodite!" I declared dumping half of my fried chicken into the fire. I watched my three newbies follow my lead and dump half of their food into the brassier. After dinner I led my cabin mates back to our cabin.
"It looks like a doll house." Michael complained.
"Yes it does but you get used to it." I informed him, "Their aren't that many boys in the Aphrodite cabin not exactly sure why that is." I looked at the beds available in the cabin trying to figure out where to place the new campers. I nodded coming to the conclusion that Silena's bed would have to be used.
"Jenna take the bed next to mine it's empty." I said with regret, the empty bed had been Silena's she had died in the Titan War. "Michael the bed next to Piper and Lacey the bed next to Drew's." I instructed showing Lacey to Drew so they could get to know each other and then looked at the clock.
"Drew I need you to call lights out at nine-thirty if Piper and I aren't back yet. Don't bully the other campers. Let's go Piper." Piper and I left the cabin and went up towards the Big House. We walked in and everyone else was already there except Luke and Percy.
"Hey Hazel, Frank, Leo, Annabeth." I greeted the four camper campers I hadn't had a chance to see yet as Piper went over to Jason. "Where's Luke and Percy?" I asked sitting down in the empty seat next to Hazel. So now Hazel was sandwiched between me and Frank.
"Luke is probably trying to steal the last of Percy's innocence, while Percy's fighting him off." Leo answered me dryly. I laughed knowing that Leo was probably right.
"Does Percy have any innocence left?" Frank asked curiously.
"Yes he does. He doesn't have sex in public areas." Annabeth answered with a small smile.
"Luke keep your hands to yourself!" I heard Percy shout, "We're almost late." I shook my head in amusement at how well the ten of knew each other even though a couple we only met after the battle last summer. Piper quickly sat up from leaning her head on Jason's shoulder as our last two members entered.
"Okay now that everyone's here." Chiron started, "We have something to discuss, Grover is in Forks, Washington and he has discovered five unawakened half-bloods. He's going to need help getting near them."
"What does that mean exactly?" Hazel asked.
"It means that he's found them but that he has no way to infiltrate in and gain their confidence to bring them to camp." Chiron explained. "This is why he asked me to get you ten out there for the new school year to make friends and bring them to camp."
"So are all five of them together?" I asked having known the layout of Forks very well.
"No there is two in the local high school and three on the local reservation." Chiron answered me.
"So do you know how you're going to spilt us up?" Jason asked.
"Yes in the local high school I want Julianna, Leo, Percy, Jason, and Annabeth. On the reservation I want Piper, Nico, Hazel, Luke, and Frank."
"Chiron I have an uncle that lives in Forks so I can arrange to stay there and I guess we can all be friends from camp except for the reservation group." I suggested.
"Good idea. You will arrive two weeks before summer break is over. I already discussed this with your parents and they will get your transcripts sent over in time for schedules to be made for you. Now I suggest you all should head back to your cabins and get some rest."
"Chiron should we see Rachel for a prophecy before we leave the camp?" I asked quickly.
"It wouldn't hurt but this isn't a quest, it's just an extraction mission." He told us as we left to go back to our cabins. I laid awake thinking about the Titan War. Clarisse was it really so bad for you at camp. She died both a hero and a traitor.
