THE MYSTERY GIRL

~CHAPTER 4~

Miranda's POV-

I am just strolling from my cabin to the camp fire. I am late because somebody stepped on the flowers at the front of my cabin. Anyways, I can't miss the first week of campfires because that's when we greet everyone that is coming back for the summer! It's very exciting. I look around at the eeriness of this part of camp. It's where the entrance is and the undergrowth is very thick. You can easily trip and fall. Some feet away, I see this green light in the grass. Did somebody drop the Greek fire lantern again? DO PEOPLE KNOW HOW HAZARDOUS THAT IS?! Oh gods, people really need to get a lesson from Athena. I approach it carefully, because who in the right mind will pick up a Greek fire lantern carelessly? Other than, like Percy, or Travis, or those dumb asses. As I get closer, I realize it's not a lantern... maybe they dropped a whole batch. But, then, why would it be in human form? Unless... no. I run up to it. I am way too scared to witness a death. When I am closer to it, I see that it is actually a girl. Dark brown hair frames her face. I squint my eyes at something dark near her head on the grass. Sudden realization dawns on me. Blood. I let out a scream.

Travis's POV-

It was like 9 o'clock but we finally are close to Camp Half-Blood. It was such a long ride. Like nine hours. Plus, we had to stay at a hotel for one night. Not that I minded it, it was perfect pranking practice for me and Connor. We just passed a bunch of thick trees leading into camp. We were driving pretty slowly because of dark dirt road. My mom hates those. Me and Connor had our swords in our hand, in case any monster decides it would be a good idea to eat a silver car. (A/N: YAYAYAYAY THE CAR THAT KATIE HEARD. THAAAT'S RIGHT FOLKS.) I grow with recognition as we get closer. I AM SO EXCITED. As I am gazing outside the window I see something on this trail path that really me questions my eyesight. Glowing flowers. Since when the fuck did we have glowing flowers? Demeter must have been feeling particularly artsy tonight.

I turn to tell my brother, "Hey, Connor, look at this. I think there are some like glowing flowers over there. And... and.. Some sort of green light following it. It's a pretty big light. What is that!"

"Dude, stop obsessing over some random flowers. Someone probably just broke a really big glow stick or something." I roll my eyes. I face the front of the car to ask my mom.

"Mo-." I was cut off from Connor yelling "WE'RE HERE! WE'RE HEREEE!" Damn him. Wait.

"WHAT? WE'RE HERE?!" Me and Connor start to shout and yell.

"YAYYY! WE'RE HOOOOME."

I fist bump Connor. Oh yeah, baby. Wait. I need a grand entrance. Like a surprise. I tell Connor my amazing plan.

"Mom, can you turn a little over there to drop us off?"

"Sure, honey. Why?"

"Oh, just a little surprise for our friends!" I grin. This is gonna be so awesome.

My mom announces that she will stop the car. Yes.

"This is the farthest the car can go without crashing into the barrier.

"Thanks, mom. This will do."

I look at Connor and give him a high five. We get out of the car and haul out our luggage. Dang. This is heavy. Well, time to go...

"BYE MOM I'LL MISS YOU!" We each give her a kiss on the cheek. Thank gods no one is here. That is embarrassing.

We each haul our own suitcase through the back entrance and drop off our stuff at the cabin first. The whole camp was so eerie because everyone was at the campfire. Our timing was perfect! We pull up the suitcases and yank open the door. I step into the cabin and smell the musty smell of dirty clothes on the ground. Ah, it's great to be home.

"Hurry up, Travis. We have to be there for the campfire!" Connor yells at me and then he shoves me.

"Little grasshopper, you must learn to be patient." I scold him. Connor scowls. He hates it when I tease him about being little. Well, that's what he get for being so annoying. I find my bed in the front, being cabin leader. I am cabin leader now because Luke is... umm... well we don't really mention that here. We just say he is a hero. People say I am a little young but I have been here the longest, besides I'm going to high school next year so it's all good.

I brush off all the excess leaves and stolen candy bar wrappers. I just leave my suitcase on my bed, get Connor and head out together. The cool night with the clouds covering moon was a perfect night for our surprise entrance. The owls hoot and we quicken our pace. We both head towards the back part of the camp fire. We can just jump out and scare everyone. We just need to time it so that when we come in when they are telling super scary stories. And when I mean scary, I mean scary.

I can see the colored smoke from the bonfire. It was happy and high today. People must be in a really great mood! We creep around the seating area.

"And so, while the huge battle raged upon him... a huge sphinx was creeping up on Hercules. And..." Chiron pauses suspensefully. (A/N: OK, this is obviously not a real story) I survey the crowd. The girls were holding onto each other with a scared look. The guys were on the edge of their seats.

Perfect. Me and Connor look at each other and nod. It's time.

We jump out of fire and muster out the fiercest growl or roar, whatever you think a sphinx sounds like. Our shadows from the wild fire caused the perfect shadow-y effect.

"ROARGRRRRAHHH!" We yell. We instantly see the response we were shooting for. Aphrodite girls were holding onto each other and screaming. Of course the fiercer girls, including Athena and Ares cabin had their weapons out. The guys were looking around uncertaintly and trying to look manly. Like they weren't screaming a second ago..

We are now rolling around on the ground, laughing. This is absolutely the best surprise entrance. When everyone finally realizes what is happening, they got angry. Ok, especially the meany cabins. Wow, it was just a joke! I start to stand up with Connor and give a friendly wave towards our large cabin. The Ares cabin is getting on their feet. Shit, time to run?

We begin to turn around and creep out but Chiron's commanding voice stopped us.

"Boys, stay here. And apologize. I will not punish you, seeing that you have just arrived."

"Ares cabin, stop growling and just head back to your cabin if you don't want to greet them."

Yet, they stay... were they planning something? Wow. Our friends were crowding around us. Yay! I miss them so much! I was laughing and talking about my school year with my closest buddies.

The part-ay was gettin' started for the people that came back today! We weren't the only ones, duh. Woop woop! I grin at the satyrs and naiads coming to join us. I grab a coke from a tray and take a sip. Regular coke. Not blue. What is up with Percy's ways?

Just as we were singing happily to some songs, we heard a piercing scream. What? Seriously, people. I know this party is fab but there is no reason to scream. We all stop and look at each other. Chiron comes up to us and looks at us worriedly.

"Did anybody here scream?"

We all shook our heads, no. We look at each other, panic starting show on our faces. What was it? I push myself in the front. I start to head where the sound came from, weapon ready.

Another screech came through the air, "Chiron!" I start to sprint alongside Chiron. Other people join me. As we grow closer to the entrance of camp, I hear faint cries.

I see a dark shadow, the one that was crying. Who is that? Chiron canters up to her. I come closer and look. Miranda. I relief in her eyes when she sees Chiron.

"Chiron.. please... save her." she says through sobbing. I look to where she is pointing. A body. How come I didn't notice that? It was dark but there was no doubting she was a beautiful person. Dark brown hair cascades down her shoulders and out unto the cold ground. The moon light was on her face. She looks like an angel. I narrow my eyes in concern.

"Chiron? Is she...?"

He nods knowingly.

"Someone, please bring her to the infirmary. I will do a check on her there and let the Apollo kids take over." I volunteer to bring over. Some people glance at each other weirdly. Geez, I don't always have to be joking around, people. I bend down and easily pick her up. Something is damp on my arm. I glance down. Blood. That's why Miranda screamed. She is like deathly scared of seeing blood.

I see her eyelids flutter as I walk to the infirmary with some other campers around me. They were peering over my shoulders to get a good look at her. I can almost hear what they were thinking, mostly because I was thinking the same things.

"She's alone."

"How did she get here?"

"How did she get through barriers?"

"Is she a demigod?"

"Who's her godly parent?"

"Who is she?"

"Where did she come from?"

"How did she get so injured?"

"Does she know her real identity yet?"

"Is she going to die?"

I stop myself at the last question. Is she going to die? I look closely at her body. It was so still. I stare intently until I see the comforting faint rise and fall of her chest.

"Guys, it's ok, she is still alive... I think."

"How do you know it's so dark!" I was about to retort when I notice I was at the infirmary already. Someone opens the door for me and I carry her inside.

Katie's POV-

I feel myself being picked up, yet I can't do anything. I'm numb everywhere and pain was pretty much coursing through my body. I feel the last of my aura drain away. Aura...? I am so tired. I try to look up at what is carrying me. A human. Thank god (A/N: it's not gods bc she dunno shes a demigod yet guys!) His body is so warm, I take a breath.

Travis's POV-

Once, I am inside, I drop her off and kind of just leave... I mean, I don't think there is such a fuss. She is just another girl... right? But, I just couldn't get her out of my head. I walk into my cabin and just lay on my bed. I slowly drift off to an uneasy sleep.

I wake up the next morning, really groggy. I was in my familiar cabin. Connor must have brought me here from... last night... what happened again...? I got up and walked around while receiving last nights crazy memories back. Mysterious girl. Infirmary.

Then, I think, Did she wake up yet? But, why do you care, Travis? A voice tells me. I take the voice's advice. Why should I care? I don't even know her.

Yet, all through out the week, I couldn't get her out of my head. I tried everything, I kept myself occupied all the time. But, my mind just keeps on drifting back to her.
