Chapter 8, Rose's POV, Camp Tour
So we went on the tour around the camp. The weird thing was, I was giving the tour. I could point out and name everything we passed, it came to the point where Greg stop trying and just walked, or well trotted, beside me. As I walked, pointing things out as I went campers occasionally stopped to give me suspicious looks. I ignored them until we were alone near the Pegasus stables; I asked him "Why's everyone looking at me funny?"
"What?"
"The entire time we walked through camp people have been stopping to stare at me."
"Well there might be a few reasons for that... um..." he shifted around nervously, "Maybe because they like you."
"Yeah... I don't think so."
"Or...maybe...because they're suspicious of you." He said mumbling the last part,
"What was that?" I asked,
"Because they're suspicious of you." He said not meeting my gaze.
"What?!" I shouted, I fumed, wanting to storm off, but not knowing where to go.
"Hey, you show up at camp falling out of the chariot, knowing everything as you pass it. Doesn't that seem suspicious?" he said, I was going to protest but he had a point. "I didn't fall out, I was pushed!" I said, he looked at me in confusion
"Are you saying, that I-" he started
"No! But it was like some force, like a wooden floor, pushed me upward off the chariot." I explained, he pondered that for a moment, scratching his facial hair. Then he said "Let's just keep that a secret, and what are we going to say about you knowing so much." He asked, without much I simply said
"I could have had vision dreams of this place, that's how I know it so well." He blinked at my comment before saying "Okay..."
"Demigods have vision dreams right?" I asked, I little nervous.
"Yeah, they do...as far as I know they do." He replied cautiously.
"Then it wouldn't be so weird." I said smiling, he shrugged.
"I just don't know if they'll buy it." He confessed, looking away nervously.
"Why wouldn't they?" I asked,
"It just sounds like an excuse." He said,
"Well we don't have any better ideas, so we'll just have to try it." I said a bit frustrated. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay." And we continued on the tour of the camp. This time, I tried not to sow my knowledge of things. Of course, this time I had an excuse, but it would still bring suspicions. I have to say it was boring, since all of the stuff I already knew about; but then again, I was seeing all of this stuff for the first time. So some times when I looked astonished or surprised, I wasn't faking it.
Like when I saw the lava rock climbing wall, or the cabins, or the forge; otherwise everything just looked normal from the outside. When the tour of camp was over, Greg offered to take me over to Hermes cabin to drop off my stuff, but I declined his offer. Knowing what the Hermes kids were most likely going to do, I would be sleeping on my bags (plus I probably wouldn't have a bed to sleep on anyways). Still, I had to join them for morning activities. Great, meaning I had to drop my stuff at the cabin of thieves, and I would have to go up to a bunch of people who suspect that I'm up to something. I prayed to the gods this day couldn't get worse.
Short Chapter I know, but I don't know what else should happen on her tour. Sorry . But.. I'm open to suggestions as to what should happen next. Please R & R, and don't forget to vote on who their parent should be because I have no clue!
