Broken Constellations-DSMP DEMIGOD AU (UNCONTINUED AND ABANDONED)

Chapter 5: I become determined with Queenie

Everyone tensed. The cheering died down, to be replaced with the sound of swords, axes, spears and shields being drawn. Bows tensed. Queenie raised her bow and arrow, getting into a shooting position. Ranboo went into a fighting stance, clutching his spear. A monstrous wolf-like monster burst through the woods. Everyone gasped and someone shouted," Hellhound!" It snarled and sniffed the air, looking straight at Queenie. Ranboo realized what was going to happen a second before it did. "Queenie, run!" he shouted. But it was too late.The hellhound pounced at Queenie before she could run. It slashed at her heart. Blood flowed from the wound like a river, staining the ground crimson red. Ranboo realized with a pang-she was going to die if he didn't help her. Ranboo felt a sudden power - a power of darkness. He focused his mind on the floor beneath the hellhound. Split apart. Back to the underworld you go. Split apart.

The floor beneath the hellhound cracked, sending it down a massive hole in the ground. Ranboo made a pushing motion and the hellhound disappeared with a loud howl. He made another sweeping motion and the ground closed back up. Ranboo looked up, suddenly feeling drained of energy, and realized that everyone was staring at him. They all gasped, some had their hands over their mouth, muttering words to each other like Hades kid, dangerous. Ranboo didn't care. He needed to find out whether Queenie was alive. He ran towards Queenie, who lay on the ground, chest heaving. The hellhound had wounded her chest and many other parts of her body. She was going to die. Suddenly, a golden deer appeared in the woods. Everyone gasped again. Some began to mutter the words Artemis, sacred animal, deer. The deer tilted her head towards Queenie. A golden glow encased her, and her wounds vanished, healing her instantly. They all stared as the golden deer disappeared into thin air. Ranboo looked at Chiron, who gasped as a glowing hologram appeared on top of Queenie's head. A bow and arrow and a deer. "Artemis," Chiron said as all the campers knelt and so did Ranboo, "Goddess of hunt, the wildness, wild animals, the moon and chastity."

"It is determined! Ranboo is a son of Hades and Queenie is the daughter of Artemis!" Chiron announced, "Capture the flag is now over. Please follow your councilors to your cabins." He gestured towards Queenie and Ranboo. Heading towards him, holding Queenie in a bridal style, as she was still weak from the hellhound attack, Ranboo caught sight of the pale figure of Wilbur on the top of a nearby hill. As he watched, Wilbur disappeared into the woods. Ranboo continued walking towards Chiron, shrugging the disturbing image of Wilbur to the back of his mind. "Ranboo,Queenie, please follow me," Chiron said gravely. Ranboo followed him nervously. He knew that the big three weren't supposed to have children. And as a Hades kid, he was considered dangerous to others. And Queenie? Daughter of Artemis, who was not supposed to have children at all. "A son of one of the big three," Chiron said as he sat down in the pavilion. Ranboo didn't know what to answer so he kept quiet and gingerly placed Queenie on the chair next to his. Soon after, Mr D joined them sitting next to Chiron. "You're quite gentle for a Hades kid,"Mr D remarked. Ranboo snorted. "Have you ever even met a Hades kid?"

"Of course," Mr D replied, moving his hair out of his eyes. The smell of wine filled the air.

"Was it good or bad?" Ranboo asked quietly, sitting down next to Queenie, who leaned her head on his shoulder, still clutching her dagger.

"Not the best," Chiron answered instead of Mr D," but now we have more urgent matters. When the gods find out that Artemis has a kid and another one of the big three once again broke the oath of having children, there is going to be war. And we don't want war."

"Once again?" Ranboo asked curiously, "Have they broken it once already?"

"Yes. The sea god, Poseidon. We currently have a fellow camper called Percy who is the son of Poseidon. I'm sure you'll meet him some day." Ranboo nodded, still digesting what Chiron had just said. "You need to decide where you are going to stay. Unfortunately, you see, this camp doesn't have a cabin for Hades' kids. Would you like to live in the head cabin, perhaps, Ranboo?" Chiron asked.

"I'll just live in the forest, but thank you." Ranboo replied, forcing a fake smile.

"Queenie, you can live in cabin 15, if that is alright?" Chiron asked. Queenie nodded, giving him a weak smile. "Well it's late, why don't you both go to sleep?" Mr D stated. We both nodded. (Ranboo POV)

I thought Queenie would go straight to her cabin, but she accompanied me to the forest. "Will you be okay here? There's a lot of monsters," she asked worriedly.

"I'll be fine, don't worry. I have a feeling the monsters won't attack me," I replied, placing my sleeping bag, chest, iron axe and spear under a tree. Chiron had given me the spear as it was the only weapon that fitted in my hands other than the axe. Queenie stared at me for a few seconds before running towards me, jumping up and hugging me. I stayed motionless for a few seconds before patting Queenie on the back lightly. "Thank you for saving me from the hellhound just now," she said, slightly muffled. I smiled and bent down, putting her on the ground again. She smiled and ran off. I sighed and snuggled into my sleeping bag. Chiron had tried persuading me to sleep at the head cabin but I had refused. I closed my eyes and drifted off.
