Why him?

Ch.6

It was now dinner time so my friends came to wake me. Kirstin gently tapped on the door again and again but to no success. Its very hard to wake me up. Now Jessie was getting impatient and so was Tori so they proceeded to slam the door open, screaming my name. This got my attention and my face hit the floor.

"Ow? What the actual fuck guys?!" I yell, annoyed.

"Well this is what happens when you get in the way of me getting food!" Jessie replied, putting her hands on her hips. I pick myself up and playfully smack her in the arm. She smacks me back and we laugh.

"Okay okay give me a sec." I say.

"For what?"

"To make myself fabulous again! I probably look like Shit." I say.

"Never!" They all say.

"Mmhmm?" I raise an eyebrow at them.

"Hurry up then!" Tori says and they all take a seat. I walk to the back of the cabin towards a door that Hazel had shown my earlier as the bathroom. Like everything else in the cabin and apparently the palace of Hades, everything is a monotone colour. I look in the mirror and sigh as I  see my hair as turned into an afro. I look through the drawers and cabinets and find a hair brush. I ask Tori for a hair band because I don't  have my straightener so I can't tame the friss of my hair. She always has one, heck I think half of the ones I have were hers at one point. I pull my hair up and ask if Kirstin has her makeup bag. She does. Thank the gods. I try to put some conceler on the dark circles under my eyes but it doesn't show up. Hm that's weird. I try some more but it still doesn't work. Oh my gods, what the heck? Not wanting to use up all of Kirstin's makeup I put it away for now. This isn't over circles! I exit the bathroom.

"Finally!  Lets goooo!" Jessie says pulling on my arm. We all leave the cabin and I shut the door. We walk up to the dinning pavilion and get our food. The other campers show us how they scrafice to the gods and we follow their lead. Finding the boys, we all sit at the same table. I sit at the edge of the group with an empty seat next to me, hoping that Octavian would come find us and sit next to me. Gosh I really hope he would... We eat our food and have our usual weird conversations. We have a lot of the other campers come say hello and introduce thenselves but none of them were Octavian. Where could he be? Why wasn't he here? Stop it Audrey. He probably has more important stuff to do. I probably scared him off. He doesnt want to see me not after what I did. I feel my heart sink at that thought. I force my mind away from him and back to my friends. I was here with them not him.

Once we were all done eating, we head for the fire pit. Everybody says that we had to go there for some reason, they wouldn't tell us all the details but they said something about singing... yay! (Sarcasm intended). Just as long as it isn't koombiyah (don't know how to spell that sorry). We sit in the semicircle of other campers. Some of the satyrs start to play the pan flute and dance around the fire. After theyre done everyone just kinda sits there and talks to one another.

"Do we leave or what?" Gray asks.

"I don't know. I don't see anybody else leavening." Tori answers.

"Okay since we don't really know what were doing lets just stay until we see others leaving." Eric says, Jessie sitting in his lap.

"Look at big ass jerk trying to be a leader." I smirk at him. He rolls his eyes at me.

"Whatever little miss death." He says.

"Hey that reminds me! We know what Audrey's godly parentage is but what about the rest of us?" Tori adds.

"That's right! The rest of you need to be claimed or at least that's what the others are saying?" I say. Jessie's smiles evily, grabs Eric's face and licks it. He doesn't even flinch. In fact it almost looks like he liked it... What?
