back to chb people!
Connor Stoll's POV:
"Travis, quiet down, somebody will hear us." I whisper to my brother as we are crouched under the window of the Ares cabin. He winks at me, then makes the okay signal with his hand. We are carrying out our newest prank with help from a few others. The last of the camper leave their cabin. Travis nods at me, its time. He gives me a leg up so I can get through the window.
The cabin is empty, they have all gone to archery practice. I walk to the back of the cabin and look out on the balcony. Harvey from the Hephaestus cabin is there with a bag, which holds the most important part of the prank. I unlock the balcony door, he passes me the bag, then I lock it again. We each know exactly what to do, because if this went wrong, well lets not think of that. You are probably thinking that we should be preparing for the attack by the romans and not fooling around, well you are right. I placed the bag under the statue of Ares, and just to plan note dropped through the sky light. I attached it to the bag and headed back to the window. Travis helped me down and exchanged smiles.
"Everything go to plan?" I ask
"Well helping Kayla on to the roof wasn't easy, she kept on complaining," he put on his best impression of her "Why isn't Connor doing this, he is my boyfriend, I don't what you feeling me up!"
Kayla is from Apollo cabin, I picture her with her golden curls and icy blue eyes telling Travis off.
"Come on lets go back," I laugh
"Yep, lets wait till we hear the screams!"
Ten minutes later a shrill scream pierces my ears, Travis and I hurry out of our cabin. Most of the other campers have done the same. Clarisse comes storming out of the Ares cabin.
"Which ever punk thought it would be funny to give us swords that change into scorpions, that are meant to be from our father, is going to regret it in tonights capture the flag." The expression on her face is so thundery that she could be a child of Zeus. Katie Gardener catches mine and Travis eyes, she knows it was us. I raise my eyebrows at her and then look at Kayla and Harvey, Katie follows my eyes. She looks back at us is to say I thought you might have needed some help. Other campers don't dare laugh until Clarisse returns to her cabin. When she does everyone congratulates me and Travis. I tell them that Harvey and Kayla are involved, and the same is given to them.
Suddenly there is a crash from behind us, I turn round to find myself nose to nose with Percy's Pegasus, Blackjack. He snorted at us if to say something, but us not being Percy didn't understand. Then looked down at his hoof the back at us, I looked down at his leg and notices a pouch attached to it. I bent down and opened it, inside was a untidily scrawled note, I read it, then looked at Travis.
"Travis, Percy needs us, he says Blackjack will take us to the Argo II."
I look around to catch Kayla's eye, then I speak to Blackjack,
"Hey we will be ready in half an hour," he snorts in agreement.
I take Kayla to the lake, we walk in silence, we both know that great prophecies are dangerous. When we reach the lake, she looks and me, a tear begins to run down her face. I brush it away, "We cant afford to think like that,"
A small smile just about appears onto her face.
Our face slowly begin to move together I stare into her blue eyes, we kiss, its seems like forever but it happens to fast. If this is going to be our last memory of her, no Connor you mustn't think like that either. I pull away
"I've got to go," I tell her, she sighs and puts her head on to my shoulder.
"Just stay alive." She whispers.
I walk away, my last glimpse of her is pure pain.
