Outsider (Story about Camp Halfblood)

Chapter 22

"That was seriously disgusting!" Will moaned in between mouth cleansing.

"I can't believe you didn't back out." I said softly rubbing his back.

"Yeah. Travis that was a little too far." Darcy scolded him with her hands on her hips.

"I was kidding when I said to eat the squishy part of the jelly fish!" Travis tried defending himself.

"Where's Connor with that ambrosia?" I asked to no one in particular.

"Yeah, you failed to mention it was sitting on the beach for two days!" Will shouted. "Ugh, gods I'm going to be sick."

"It's okay." I rubbed calming circles on Will's back. He was lying on the sand about twenty feet from the rotting jelly fish.

"Gods I can still smell it!" Pollux complained.

"Uhhh. I can too." Will cried out. I stared at Pollux. He put his hands up and he walked back to the blanket. I saw Connor running over the dunes with a small baggy.

"Okay Will, get up. Connor's here with the ambrosia." I helped Will up and Darcy came over to get his other arm. Travis sulked behind us as we slowing made our way to the blanket.

"I got it in bed!" Connor handed Will a small piece and he ate it.

"Oh that tastes so good!" Will moaned laying down on the blanket. We all sat back down. I sitting on Will left, Darcy on his right. Travis next to me, then Pollux and lastly Connor in the sand.

"Travis you cruel son of a---" Travis cringed away.

"Now, now calm down! No need for that." I interrupted Will.

"Fine." Will sighed. "Okay Darcy, truth or dare?"

Darcy smiled. "Dare. But if you make me eat something!" She warned.

Will put his hands up in surrender, looking less green. "Okay you have to--"

"Wait! I want truth!" Darcy threw her hand over Will's mouth.

"Hey you can't do that!" Travis protested. Connor nodded in agreement.

"Whatever I don't care." Will said. "If you could change something about this game, what would you change?"

Darcy thought for a second. "I'd stop Connor's dare, it's getting annoying."

"Thanks." Pollux mumbled upset that his dare was dumb.

"That's it?" Will asked.

"Yep. Oh and I think it would be fun to go into teams, but anyways, Pollux, truth or dare." Darcy asked.

"Dare." He said back.

"I dare you to pick truth." Darcy grinned mischievously. I knew where this was going and a smirk formed on my lips.

"What? I can't do that!" Pollux pointed out crossing his arms.

"We already broke one rule, one more is not going to hurt." Darcy crossed her arms and winked at me. I held back a laugh. Will sat awkwardly between us.

"Fine. Truth." Pollux sighed.

"Whose this, um, Mia what's her name again?" Pollux's ears turned red.

"Oh I don't know, Kari?" I offered. Darcy raised an eyebrow and Will gave a low whistle. Both the Stoll's eyebrows rose up. Pollux looked like a deer in the headlights with a very red blush.

"She's a, um, friend." he sputtered.

"Ha! Liar." Will laughed, slapping his knee. Pollux avoided our gazes.
