Chapter Four; My friend summons the Pumpkin King….?
After a surprisingly uneventful tour of the camp- And me refusing to get near the rock wall but wanting to study the rocks because I'm a total dweeb- We somehow found ourselves wandering around the forest.
"No way!" I bumped the Italian beside me's shoulder ,"You can Not summon actual Skeletons!"
"I can too!"
"You sound like a fiv-"I froze, suddenly remembering something," I just realized! I've seen you before!"
Nico stopped and stared at me in confusion," What? Where?"
"Uh. Grece. "I mumbled," You were…..I think I saw you and some other… Really big…. People Fighting this…Rock…..Demoness?" I blinked, looking away from him as I fiddled with the sleeves of my grey hoodie," I know it sounds Insane but…I don't know why I remembered I just now…maybe it was a dream….you know what just ignore me!"
"no….No that happened." Nico shook his head," But why were you in Greece when we were fighting Gaea?"
"Why would you fight the primordial of the Earth?! Wouldn't that literally end the world as we knew it?"
"She was the one trying to end the world!"
"oh."I mumbled in a tiny ,quiet voice, remembering what I had learned about Gaea's revenge plot," but I thought that that happened…years ago…? Like Eons.."
"It did." He sighed," We had to put her back to sleep."
Nico looked at me seriously, "Why were you in the old lands anyway? That's stupid dangerous for a demigod."
"I didn't know I was one until the lion-Manticore guy burst into my science lab and my best friend unloaded a mag into him and my other friend jumped out of the window with me! "I protested, splaying my hands out in front of me before shaking my head," Anyway would you believe I was on a trip with Mrs. Baker and got lost when I tried to find a bathroom?"
He chuckled, shaking his head," You know….Somehow I can see you doing that ,Shortie."
I groaned, throwing my arms into the air," And now the height jokes! I deal with them from everyone! Jack won't leave me alone! I mean I'm 5'1 its not like I am four feet tall!" I "slammed" my head into the trunk of the tree I had been leaning on ,letting out a groan of protest.
"You're one to talk. You make Canadian jokes about me Crowley." Jack's voice sounded from above my head as he jumped down from a nearby branch.
"Aaaaand the Trickster has landed." I snorted, continuing the Supernatural reference train that my best friend had started," What did you drop in for a bar of chocolate angel?"
He snorted ,shaking his head at the joke," Yeah yeah, coming from the Queen of Hell."
We both looked at Nico and started to laugh at his confused face.
I grinned, wiping away tears of laughter from my eyes "I'll explain later Nico."
"Well anyways. I'm pretty sure the Dinner horn is about to start. Watch your possessions Naomi. "Jack advised as he started to lead us back to camp, only to pause as he noticed me staring intently at a bush.
Golden eyes had been peering at us for a while from the shadows, and I merely took it for one of the monsters Nico had warned me about- since we were in an area where the non lethal ones gathered at times-. That is however, until a low rumble came from said bush. Seeing as Nico was closest to the danged thing, I grabbed his arm and with strength I didn't know I had ,I pulled him away from the blur emerging from the shadows, "Watch out!"
