Hi everyone! I am sooooo sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been really busy. I'll try to post something new every week. I hope you like this!
"Alright Darcy. We're getting out now." I nodded and followed her into the woods. We walked quietly. Not saying a thing to each other. She led me into a place by a huge tree. "Welcome to Camp Half Blood, Darcy. Welcome home." Annabeth said. I looked around. There were demigods everywhere. There were also a bunch of boys with goat legs but I pretended not to notice. "Percy!" I heard Annabeth squeal. A boy with sea green eyes walked over. My eyes were more like sea blue. "Hey Annabeth!" They kissed each other and hugged. I started to slowly walk away when the Percy guy looked at me. "Hey. I haven't seen you before. Are you new?" he asked. "Um yeah." I said. "What's your name? I'm Percy Jackson by the way." He said. "I'm Darcy Ellens. Hi." I said. "She's adorable." Percy said. I blushed. "I'm not THAT young. I'm 11." I said. "AWW! She's only 11!" Percy said to Annabeth. "Come on. Dinner starts in," he checked his watch. "10 minutes. Come with me. We'll pick you a weapon." He said.
My eyes widened. "A weapon?!" I yelled. "Yeah. Every demigod needs one. Ya know, to kill monsters with." He said that like killing monsters was a part of his daily routine. "Uh… ok." I said. I followed him. He showed me to a closet. "Pick one." I walked in I picked up a gleaming gold dagger. It didn't fit in my hand. I picked up a scythe and then two swords. One of them was entirely black which freaked me out. Then I saw it. A long, bronze sword with a blue diamond glittering in the hilt. "This one." I said. "Celestial bronze. Deadly to monsters. Just like mine! I love the blue diamond. It's cool. Good choice." Percy said when I came out. "How much longer do we have?" I asked. "Uh… 7 minutes. Wanna go try it out?" he asked. "Yeah!" We walked over to a huge field. "I'll go against you and I promise I'll take it easy." Percy said. I was a little nervous to go up against this expert but he said he'd take it easy. So I got into position to fight him. "Three, two, one. Fight!" He yelled.
I swung and jabbed and slashed him. But he was way better than me. He pushed me back to the edge of a lake. No, I thought. No, no, no! I couldn't get in that water. I had two major fears. Heights and water. Pools I could do, but lake and oceans? No way. So I fought as hard as I could to get away from that water. I was starting to get tired. Instead of jabbing him, I was just dodging it. Then I was up against that water again. Percy disarmed me. My sword went flying into the lake. The hilt of Percy's sword hit my chest and I flew backwards into the lake. As I landed in the water, I flashbacked to the day when I got my fear of water.
