Mr Burner scowled at Luke and I.
"Persephone, Luke. Outside for a word." He said, he only ever used that tone once in class. That kid was very different after it. I stood up and walked to him, then I noticed he wasn't in his chair but was half a flipping horse! A centaur! Mr Burner taught us about Chiron, the centaur who was son of the Titan Kronos, he seemed like he knew it all as if it was him. I was about to find out if that was true.
"'Ello, mr Bruner." I smiled, glancing at Grover. He looked worried.
"Luke, why didn't you take Persephone to the big house?" He frowned at Luke then at I. I looked down, biting my lip.
"I forgot, we where just chatting, mr Bruner." I could hear the smirk in his voice. I looked up slightly, Mr Bruner's gaze was on Luke, slight hatred in his eyes.
"You know you should have brought her." He frowned and then glanced at me.
"Does your mother know you're here?" I shook my head.
"No." I mumbled. Of course she didn't. I should have told her, my birth mum or my adoptive mum, I sighed. Mr Bruner smiled slightly and ruffled my hair.
"Big house, you three." He said sternly and lead Grover, Luke and I to 'the big house.' Once there, I saw a man with messy black hair and dark purple eyes, with a tropical shirt on that only people wore on holiday.
"Mr D." Luke and Grover nodded.
"Liam, George." The man said, it was so deliberate.
"This is her?" He asked mr Bruner, nodding towards me. I resisted the urge to be sarcastic.
"This is Persephone. Persephone this is Mr D, camp director." I smiled at him.
"'Ello." Mr D frowned.
"hello, Stephanie." He obviously wasn't liking how I said 'hello'. I rolled my eyes softly, Mr D poured himself a glass of wine but Mr Bruner cleared his throat.
"Fine." Mr D mumbled, the wine magically turning to a can of diet coke. My eyes widened, it was awesome.
"Y-you're Dionysus!" I exclaimed. He rolled his eyes. He'd obviously heard it all before.
"It's Mr D too you, girl. Names have a strong meaning here." He said harshly.
"Alright, mate. Calm it." I put my hands up in my defence.
"Luke, Persephone and you to the cabin. Now." Mr Bruner ordered.
"Alright. Night, Mr D. Chiron." Luke grinned at him. I nodded, smiling at Mr Bruner. Maybe I miss heard Luke. I probably did but before I could ask, Luke dragged me to the cabin. I was still in my uniform. But I didn't care much. I just took off my shoes and lay on Luke's bed.
"Night." I mumbled.
"Night, Peri." He smiled then lay on the floor in a sleeping bag. I snuggled up in the bed, yawning. I closed my eyes, falling asleep almost immediately.
I woke up the next morning as someone shook me.
"Stop." I groaned. I heard someone chuckle. I slowly opened my eyes and smiled, seeing Grover.
"Morning, Grover." I mumbled and sat up. He pulled me up and handed me an orange shirt and a pair of black shorts. Everyone else was gone.
"You have fine mins, Ef." He smiled and walked out. I yawned and changed out of my uniform into the orange shirt and the black shorts, I put on my batman converse. I smiled, remembering my old battery powered straighters. Yeah battery powered. I straightened my hair, clipping my fringe back. I turned off my straighters and yawned. I quickly brushed my teeth in the small bathroom and ran outside, pulling on my hoodie. I smiled at Grover.
"Morning, G." I mumbled and looked at the time, someone set my watch to the American time. I looked around the camp, yawning again. Then we walked to the mess hall thingy. I saw everyone sitting there. I just causally walked in. I sat next to Luke, smiling.
"Morning, Luke." He frowned at me.
"Persephone." Why was he suddenly in a bad mood? I hugged his neck tightly.
"What's got your nickers in a twist this morning?"
"Just... Just buzz off!" He snapped, I looked down and sighed. I stood up, why was Luke suddenly being a twit?
Declaimer: I only own Persephone.
Hey, well Luke is being to get dreams off Kronos. So he will begin to be moody one day but the next happy.
