My day started with Megan wanting to pet the sphinx.
It was a normal day, Megan and I woke up from a motel to look for this mythical place called camp half-blood. Its mythical because its so god damn hard to find. Well now we're driving because Megan had to piss off the stupid sphinx, and were headed through this forest. "cow" Megan shouted as I swerved we hit the base of a tree and flew, we were headed toward a tree, I closed my eyes and prepared for impact. "casey drive" Megan said. I opened my eyes, we were on the ground, I breaked and turned the wheel sharply. We came to a hault the sphinx running against an invisible wall.
"that was fucking awesome" Megan said getting out of the car.
"no, it so wasn't" I said.
"and who are you?" a centaur said coming up to us.
"oh my god, your like half horse" Megan said.
"I'm a centaur" he said with dignity .
"I'm Casey, this is my friend Megan" I said, "were uh half bloods" I said with a smile.
"we gathered that, do you know who your parents are?" the centaur said.
"well we know who our mortal parents are but not our 'godly' parents, other than the facts that they are male" I said.
"what she said" Megan said.
"well I am Chiron activities director, you will be staying in hermes cabin until your-" he stopped and gasped. He was staring at Megan I turned around and looked at her.
"oh my gods there's something on your head" I shouted.
"what?" she shouted looking up. A tridant was floating above her head. "what the hades is that?" she asked
"you're a daughter of Poseidon" a guy with messy black hair said.
"that the sea god right?" Megan asked.
"yes that's the sea god" I said.
"ok" she said.
"well percy you can show Megan? Around" he said.
"her full names Megan if you prefer that" I said.
"right" he said.
"Clarisse you can show casey around" Chiron said. A heavy set girl walked toward me and grumbled something about a pony being stupid.
"listen here runt, I don't know who your daddy is so for now you better stay on my good side" she said.
"uh, OK" I said.
She laughed, "no one ever seems to listen to me, usually have a quick tongue or stutter but you seem different, how are you with fighting?" she asked.
"I know a few cheap shots that can help me out" I said.
"you'll have to teach me them" she said. Clarisse was highly feared the favorite daughter of Ares, I wouldn't doubt it. But she was nice. I taught her about the pressure point in the neck that I used on my brother last year. "and this is cabin 11, maybe you'll get picked by a cool god and get out of THAT hell hole" she said.
"until then, yay cramped spaces" I said with fake enthusiasm. She smiled and I headed in.
"you have tamed the great Clarisse" a boy said hovering over me as I entered the cabin.
"scary" a boy who could pass for his twin said. I slid out from their intense gaze.
"I don't know what your talking about, Clarisse seems nice" I said.
"nice?" one of them said. I looked around at the crowded cabin, kids darted backa dn forth a few older kids lounged on their bed.
"and this sleeping bag is yours" one of them said.
"sorry about the location, but as you can see we're pretty cramped" the other said. I didn't see anything wrong with, why is that guy chained to his bed? There was a guy with blonde hair with a magazine on his face his ankle chained to his bed.
"what's wrong with the location?" I asked absent mindedly.
"cause of luke" (he's alive, he's under parole) one of the twins pointed to the guy on the bed.
"he went a little power crazy and caused a huge war, he almost died, but now he's here" the other said.
"you know I can hear you right?" he said looking out from his magazine, he had a large scar that ran down the left side of his face. The two brothers paid him no mind.
"anyway im travis stoll and this is my brother connor" the one who was slightly taller said.
"umm nice to learn that, now" I said.
"it adds to the mystery" one said and then they dashed off.
"weirdos" I muttered I spread out my sleeping bag and looked through the stuff I was given, I had my suitcase from my car, which was still probably parked by that tree. All of that essentials, I had put a lock on it. Thank god too. Hermes was known for thieves and those Stoll brothers were suspicious. I pulled out my necklace from underneath my shirt, it was the only birthday gift I ever received from my real father, it had a ruby with bronze around it in a pretty plain oval design, I had lost the leather string it came on originally and had instead put it on a silver string that had such a fine chain that it looked like a piece of silver thread.
"that's pretty" a voice said from above me. I looked and not 3 inches away was Luke. I freaked out and hit my head against the bed.
"ow" I said rubbing the back of my head.
"sorry, who gave you that?" he asked.
"my dad, it was a in an envelope I got with a cheap birthday card" I said.
"doesn't it bother you, you haven't ever met the man?" he asked.
"not really, I have a step dad, he's real nice" I said.
"lucky, you have normal-ish parents" he said.
"boring-ish parents is more like it" I said. I opened my suit case and pulled out some peanut butter, a loaf of bread and some marshmallow spread. "well im out I'm gonna go make sure Megan didn't kill that black haired kid" I siad.
"you probably shouldn't talk to me, I'm public enemy number 1 here" he said.
"well I already made friends with public enemy number 2, Clarisse. Might as well live at camp hell thoroughly" I said with a smile I locked my suitcase and gathered the stuff and headed out. Megan's cabin was cabin 2, had to remember that. The door was open so I walked in. there were several bed only looked like 2 were occupied, Megan's was across the room, it had Megan on it. The other was occupied by black haired guy and some blonde chick making out. "OH GROSS" I shouted turning around and dropped my stuff on Megan's bed.
"that's what I said" Megan said we high fived and got to making two fluffer nutters. The couple across the room broke apart.
"well you could knock you know" the blonde snapped.
"door was open" I said.
"still impolite"
"your such a bitch, get over yourself" Megan snapped suddenly. "you know the first words to me were stay away from my boyfriend? I'm his half sister that's just gross" Megan said. She took a huge bite out of her sandwich and glared.
"what is that?" the black haired kid asked.
"that's Percy my new half-brother and his 'that' Annabeth" Megan said. I smiled into my sandwich.
"it's a fluffer nutter" I said.
"so what did you do the whole hour and a half we've been apart"? Megan said.
"taught Clarisse that pressure point trick, met two guys I'm ninety percent sure are going to try and break into my suit case and met the guy in the bed I'm sleeping next to" I said.
"you taught Clarisse what?" percy shouted.
"there's a pressure point in your neck, I taught her were it was, it can make a person pass out from the pain" I said.
"great" he said laying down on his bed.
Megan and I shrugged. "I hope you get picked?" she said testing the word on her lips, "soon" she said.
"I don't know, I don't really care" I said.
"why not?" Annabeth asked, "don't you want to know where you belong?" she asked.
"I belong here, I don't think it should matter what cabin I'm in, or be judged by who my father is" I said.
"your are so wise" Megan said, she was sitting cross legged, with her hands on her knees like she was meditating.
Smack, "could have had a V8" I said. I had thumped her on the forehead. I got up and ran, whenever any of us started that it was always war. I dodged through the kids with Megan hot on trail, I wasn't a fast runner but I was a fast weaver. I wasn't really looking where I was going and kept glancing back, I saw archers getting read to fire and ducked and slid underneath the arrows that would have hit me in the head I'm sure. Megan didn't stop and just went around them, I got up kept running. We dodged around the camp before I finally fell back on the grass. I pulled in gulpfuls of air greedily. I was so tired.
"wake me up tomorrow" I mumbled to Megan after she told me the have a v8.
"I claim this land in the name of me" Megan said putting shoes on my stomach lightly.
"get your foot off my stomach" I said, "zeus knows were your shoes have been" I put my hand up for her to help me up she did. Thankfully.
"you two" a guy said coming toward us.
"huh?" Megan and I said at the same time.
"you need to go to the oracle, now" he said pointing to a large cabin. Megan and I simply kind of freaked out swiftly walked to the cabin. Chiron the centaur pointed us to the attic. We made out way up through the dust and muck and there sat a girl our age-ish.
"we want to know our destiny's" Megana dn I said at the same time.
"you" she pointed to Megan, "second oath broken of the god of seas, shall not make a hero as your brother, you shall bring down the name of Poseidon more then once and not care, but one choice will save the fates of many" she said.
"um, ok"
"you" she pointed to me, "the one shrouded in mystery shall make friends with three, one a traitor, one of your kin, and another an enemy, a quest you will travel once all are close, there will come three virgos, your sight will become foggy, but always know the difference between love and treachery" the girl said. We left soon after. Chiron didn't ask us specifically, but asked me if I got any hint about my dad. I told him no.
Megan and I were sent back to our cabins. I met up with Clarisse on the way, she was sword fighting with a guy I didn't know. "hey let me teach you something" Clarisse said,
"ok" I said. She taught me the basics of fighting. And then she taught me how to ram someones head into a sheild. Clarisse is really good at fighting she also fitted me with with some leather amror. Why do I always make friends with the outcasts? "well your training starts tomorrow" she said.
"yay" I said with as much enthusiasm as I might have if iw ere to hang out with the sphinx.
"it's only bad the first day" she said. She patted me on the back and made me stumbled a bit. "see you at dinner Cass" she said. Cass?
"uh ok" I said. I met up with Megan at the hermes cabin. "hey, heard you got a new nick name Kathy" Megan shouted at me.
"stop calling me that" I shouted at her back.
"Kathy?" percy asked.
"yeah her middle name is" Megan started to say but I cut her off.
"Megan Jones loves miles Loftin" I shouted.
"do not" Megan said.
"do to" I said.
"do not"
"nuh uh"
"uh huh"
"nuh uh"
"uh huh"
"nuh uh"
"uh huh"
"nuh uh"
"uh huh"
"will both of you shut up?" percy shouted.
"you stay out of this" Megan said.
"its time for dinner" Annabeth said.
"food" Megan and I shouted running to the dining hall.
Well go figure we had to eat separately. Megan had to eat at the Poseidon table with percy and I had to eat with the hermes. The cups were neat, any drink I wanted. I got a smoothie. The food was delicious. I moved off a portion to give to my dad, whoever he was.
I felt an odd sensation and turned around, luke had walked in and everyone was staring at him. "the one shrouded in mystery shall make friends with three, one a traitor, one of your kin, and another an enemy, a quest you will travel once all are close, there will come three virgos, your sight will become foggy, but always know the difference between love and treachery" my destiny came to mind. I wonder if he's the traitor? I thought to myself. maybe he's the enemy I thought. Clarisse is probably the enemy "can I sit here?" a voice said.
I looked to see luke, he stood there awkwardly, everyone waited for my decision, "no go ahead and sit" I said. I heard gasps and whispers, but I was till lost in thought. 'the one shrouded in mystery shall make friends with three, one a traitor, ' probably luke 'one of your kin,' hades knows who that is 'and another an enemy,' probably Clarisse 'a quest you will travel once all are close,' once we're friends we'll get a quest 'there will come three virgos,' virgins? 'your sight will become foggy,' who knows what that means, maybe ill go blind 'but always know the difference between love and treachery' watch those I fall for. "cass, hello?" connor was snapping his fingers in front of my eyes.
"what huh?" I asked dumbly.
"that one" he pointed to Megan who was trying to wave me over, "is trying to get your attention" he said.
"you'd think I'd notice her" I mumbled, "thanks connor" I said. I got up and walked over to Megan, carrying my plate with me.
"percy wanted to talk to you" Megan said as I put my plate down. I took her fork.
"what?" I asked my mouth filled with mashed potatoes.
"what do you think your doing letting luke sit next to you?" he whispering glancing toward luke behind me.
"being a good person, you should try it sometime" I said, loud enough for the table behind us to hear.
"he tried to rule the world, he sent the gods into war, he brought back chronos" he said.
"Megan got me attacked by 3 deadly monsters, nearly drowned me, and sent a small hick town into a war, got me kicked out of an anime con. And today I was attacked by a sphinx" I said, "but I still love her like a sister."
"god that was fun" Megan said. I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"he's a traitor" he said loudly.
"do you think he's the one in your prophecy?" Megan said absent mindedly.
"that's what i was thinking about while you were trying to get my attention" I said. Megan and I thought about it a moment.
"hey want to go put our food in the fire?" Megan asked after several minutes.
"YES" I said. Megan gave hers to Poseidon, 'dad, do you hate Poseidon? cause I'm starting to hate his kid Percy'
"burning stuff, it lights up the pyromaniac within me" she said with a smile. I patted her on the shoulder.
That night I was asleep on the floor. Twisting and turning n my sleeping bag, I was having troubled falling asleep. Finally I twisted out of sleeping back pulled on an oversized hoody, grabbed my iphone, currently set to airplane mode, and headed outside. I didn't go anywhere I just sat on the steps of the cabin, the night air was cool, and refreshing. I was looking at the sky wondering if the gods were watching me, when the door creaked open and shut again. It was luke.
"I saw you weren't in you sleeping bag, I thought you were eaten by a harpy or something" he said.
"ha ha" I said, "so does that chain just go to the edges of camp or what?" I asked. The clamp on his ankle seemed to grow to wherever he went I didn't get it.
"yeah, I think it does" he said.
"I wonder if you can trip people with it?" I thought aloud.
"you know your one of the weirdest girls I've met" he said.
"that's me weird casey" I said. "except with me its normal"
"what you listening to?" he asked sitting next to me.
"Russian band" I said, I handed him an ear bud.
"what does malchik gay mean?" he asked.
"gay boy" I answered. He gave me a disbelieving look, "what I told you I was weird"
"what other music do you have?" he asked I handed him my phone. He looked through my music and switched the song, immediately a tonky piano came on.
"this song is the story of my life" I said.
"why is it called fuck you?" he asked.
"wait for it, fuck you, fuck you very, very much, cause we hate what you do, and we hate your whole crew, so please don't stay in touch. Fuck you fuck you very, very much, cause your words don't translate and it's getting quite late, so please don't stay in touch" I sang quietly. I wasn't a good singer I knew that much.
"you have the most random music on here" he said.
"wha ti have music ADD" I said.
"oh this is a good song" he said, "Scotty doesn't know, that Fiona and me, do it in my van every Sunday" he said. He shook it and it changed.
"I wanna be rich and I want lots of money, I don't care about clever I don't care about funny, I want lots of clothes and a fuck load of diamonds, I heard people die while their trying to find them" I took the phone and looked up a song, "this is my favorite song" I said. "she lives down on a fancy street, where the trees fall without a sound. Cause the wind is always blowing so much louder, she says she wants to be lonely and free. She said it could take a while to pick the right draw. Ad my how all these days by oh so fast, so fast yeah. I'm guess everything is good, I'm guessing eve thing's alright. I'm guessing everything is moving along right in time, for you. I'm guessing everything is grand, guessing everything's alright. I'm guessing every thing is moving along right in time. Mary's got a brand new star, in her hand she's going to hold it up into, the big big skies, oh lord now, the big big skies. Then them angels gonna rise above, then them angels gonna fall into the hearts of all of people in that town under that sky that night. I'm guess everything is good, I'm guessing eve thing's alright. I'm guessing everything is moving along right in time, for you. I'm guessing everything is grand, guessing everything's alright. I'm guessing everu thing is moving along right in time, for you. The story of Mary it's just the story of Mary, for you." I said. (Shane gamble, story of Mary).
"that a pretty song" he said.
"my causin wrote it" I said with a smile.
"for who?" he asked.
"I don't know" I said, I yawned, "I'm tired im going inside, don't get eaten by a harpy, I have three friends in this shit hole and I really don't want only two" I said.
"what did percy want?" luke asked.
"to tell me he's going to be an ass all summer" I said.
