Laurels P.O.V.-
The twins had been at camp for almost 2 days and were still adjusting, but she had to admit that they were nice and she couldn't begrudge them just because they had been claimed so quickly while she was still undetermined.
Undetermined, It had been that way so long, but she still had hope she would be claimed. Almost every night she dreamed of her mother claiming her…
It couldn't be Aphrodite, Laurel hated all their frilly clothes and she loved growing real flowers, not just wearing fake ones. It couldn't be Athena, Laurel wasn't the reading type (Dyslexia made it impossible), and they were so stuck up! And Demeter, who seemed the perfect match, had never claimed her.
At first everyone told her she shouldn't worry, that it was just a matter of time, and she thought they were right. After all, who gets claimed at the age of two? But by the time she was twelve no sign had appeared and she was starting to doubt that she would ever get claimed.
Katie, a daughter of Demeter, came to camp when she was 9; and they were friends from the start. But Katie always got what she never had; a childhood, lots of friends, courage, and Katie was claimed by Demeter, something she had wished for since the age of 8.
Laurel shook her head, this was no time for regrets, if she didn't focus she would never hit the target. She steadied her bow and aimed her arrow, she had hit Chiron's backside more than enough times and did not wish to do so again; especially not with his current state…
