Chapter 2
I sat on the beach, everything was so weird. I hated water, but I knew it was just forced hate. My mom hadn't died in the water, she had died from the smoke. I would done it to if it wasn't for the water, it saved me. "I also come here to think, you know, I'm the son of the sea god after all" Eldoris recognized that voice, it was that guy, Percy I think his name was, from earlier today" Yehey, sorry about earlier, it was my ADHD speaking" he laughed, people never laughed when I said that. "Annabeth is like that, wants to know everything, and she probably does" we laughed, it felt good to have someone who understood my humor. "I hate the sea" Eldoris suddenly said" Is that why you come here to the sea?" Percy joked and she laughed a bit" But I also like it, I feel a connection to it" he looked at me like he understood what I was talking about" My mom died in an air crash, I was seven, we were going to England and travelled over the sea. A lightning bolt hit the air plane and a fire started, we crashed into the water. Everybody who wasn't dead by the start died when they hit the water. They said it was a miracle I survived, but I never thought about it like that, I escaped death and for that I have to pay my price" I looked at Percy to see if he was listening, and he was "I'm sorry" I smiled a bit "Nah, don't be, it's not your fault" he smiled back at me and it felt good to have someone to talk to "But why don't you want to be called Eldoris?" I looked down at the sand" My mom told me he choose that name, before he left, she used to say that he was gone, but for me he could be dead. My middle name is Brooklyn because that's the place they meet" I never looked up when I spoke my eyes were focused on the drawing i had made in the sand" Yehey, I know how it feels, kind of. I had never meet my dad, the only thing I remembered was a warm smile." Percy looked a little bit sad when I looked up at him "It felt like on one understood me because they all had meet their parents, I meet my dad once, and he kind of said he wish i wasn't born, because of that oath they made. But I know he loves me, I speak to him sometimes, through the water" I nodded, I wish I knew who my dad was, not that it would make me feels so much better. "But anyway, Chiron asked me to show you your cabin. Until we know who your dad is you will stay at the Cabin 11, Hermes cabin. All the new ones stay there until they get claimed" I could swear that I heard him say if they get claimed but I knew he wouldn't want me to hear it. "Welcome to Cabin 11!" I heard that Percy tried his best to sound enthusiastic and when I walked inside I saw why. It was a mess. Gum wrappers, candy and the whole floor was pretty much full with sleeping bags. Great, this will be fun. "Listen up everybody! This is your new Cabin mate, Eldoris Jacobson" when Percy talk everybody seemed to listen. "I have to go now but I guess I will see you around" and then he walked away, leaving me to stand in the doorway of my worst nightmare.
I crossed the floor trying not to step on anybody. I found an empty corner and sat down. After a few minutes everybody seemed to have forgot about me and continued talking with each other. I opened my backpack and reached my hand down trying to find my picture. I looked at it, trying not to cry. It was me and my mom, we wasn't much alike, not at looks or at heart, at least that what's I been told. She has brown hair, I have black, she has brown eyes, and I have turquoise. None of my relatives had meet my dad, or they didn't want to talk about him. But if I got them mad they usually said something like 'you are just like your dad, moody and stubborn' and I didn't know my dad so I didn't know if I was like him. I had his looks, my mom had said when we flew over the sea, and she was just about to say something about him, his name or something when the lightning bolt come.
