CHAPTER 16

A/N: Heyyyyyy, sorry 4 not posting Sunday. I'm really working on getting chapters done ahead of time so I can get these posted on time. I'm also working on adding more detail. But, anyways, here's chapter 16!

ATHELIA

The next morning, I was woken up by a blood-curdling scream, at 3 A.M. I went outside, but realized that the scream was actually in my dream. I couldn't go back to sleep after that, so I decided to get dressed. I then, found a package at my cabin door. On the top of it, I found a note. It read:

We're sorry about what happened yesterday. Hope this makes you feel better:):):)

-The Stoll brothers, Connor and Travis

I tore the package open, and found a bottle of bleach and purple hair dye. I smiled, and went into the bathrooms to bleach my hair. I looked kinda weird, in my opinion, with bleached hair, but I topped it off with purple hair dye, and I. Looked. AWESOME! Like, really, really cool.

By the time I finished dying my hair, it was 4. I walked outside, and decided to go exploring in the woods. Nobody had given me a tour of this place, so I wanted to check it out a bit.

I reached a point when I realized, if I took another step I would be out of the Camp boundaries. I took a breath, and stepped forward. I felt a rush of air, of… power, leave me. Okay. That's weird. And, now, I feel a bit older. I don't know if that's normal. But, I kept walking, deeper and deeper into the woods, until I heard a cry.

A, blood-curdling, cry for help.

Okay, I thought. So it wasn't in my dream. No big deal, right?

I walked toward where I heard the cry for help. I also heard whimpering. As I got closer, I realized it was coming from a cave. I stepped in, cautiously.

There was a boy, maybe a year older than me, tied to a chair. He was cut and bruised. I immediately knew he was a demigod. I rushed to him and untied him. He was shaking. I took out some emergency ambrosia that I carried with me, and shoved some down his throat. I also managed to get some nectar in there, too. Once he finished, he was pretty much all healed up.

"Thank you," The boy said, and I took this moment to look at him. He was about 5.5" foot, whereas I was 5. He was pretty 'buff', but not to the point that he could be, like, a professional wrestler. He had blueish greenish eyes. His hair was black, and medium length. His clothes were pretty ripped. Then, he looked at me weirdly.

"You dyed your hair?" He asked.

"Yeah, my hair is usually black, though," I said. He nodded.

"So… what now?" He asked.

"Well, you didn't burn up when I gave you that ambrosia and nectar, so you're a demigod. So, come. We can go to camp Half-Blood," I said.

"Okay, and, what's your name?"He asked.

"My name's Athelia Pernico Di Angelo, but call me Atlas. What's yours?" I asked.

"My name is Eileithyia(Okay, I know this is technically a girl name, but I wanted to keep the Greek in 'the family'. So, just bear with me;) Heracles Jackson, but call me Eli," Eli said.

"Jackson?" I said, in disbelief.

"Yes," He said.

"Percy is going to be so excited," I mumbled. "How old are you?"

"16. How 'bout you?" He asked.

"15," I said, not wanting to get into how I'm actually '4'.

"Cool."

ELI

~OKAY, YES, I KNOW, SURPRISING, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE IT A TRY. HE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE STORY!~

I am soo thankful Atlas came along. Or else, I would have been dead. She seems very nice. And cool. Like, a person who is very athletic, and likes sports, but at the same time, caring and sweet. But, something seems odd about her. Like, she's not a demigod, whatever that is, like me. But it seems like we could, either, be the bestest of friends, or the worst enemies. But, we're getting along pretty well. But, I better not keep my hopes up.

"Do you play basketball?" Atlas asked, as we were walking.

I looked at her, weirdly, because she had asked that out of nowhere. And as I looked at her, she shyly looked away, blushing a bit.

"Yes… why?" I said, nervously.

"Because you're tall. And, no one at camp likes basketball. So, I thought it might be nice, you know, to, like, have a play buddy," She said.

"Really? That's great. Do they have a court?" I asked. She nodded.

"It's huge. No one really plays there, except, well, Percy and my dad," She said.

"Who's Percy?" I asked.

"He's a son of Poseidon. So is his sister, Lily. And I suspect that you are, too," Atlas said. "And, here we are. Welcome, Eli, to Camp Half-Blood."

~~~Okay, that was short, I know, and I kind of felt bad, do here's an extra scene!~~~

3RD PERSON POV AT OLYMPUS

"POSEIDON!" Zeus roared, as Poseidon grimaced.

"Yes, brother?" Poseidon said, innocently.

"You have THREE children?" Zeus asked, which sounded more like a statement.

"And? Is there something wrong with that?" Poseidon said.

"YES! Three children, Poseidon! 3!" Zeus exclaimed.

"And? At least my daughter isn't in love with Malcolm! She, rather than Macy, has a crush on Conner! Connor Stoll! While your daughter, has a crush on a child of Athena! Athena is your child! Don't you find that weird? Because everyone else here does!" Poseidon ranted.

"Okay, okay… you win, just, stop having kids with that one mortal! Because, my granddaughter has a crush on your son! And, if they have a child together, WE. ARE. DOOMED!" Zeus cried.
