"What are you two doing here?" Percy asked as the two very pretty girls stepped forwards.
Why is everyone in this camp so pretty?
"Lady Artemis sent us to join you in the quest." Thalia replied. "All the gods are looking for him and she thought that with our help we'll be able to find him quicker."
"Then I suppose we have our last two questers." Chiron commented.
"Hold on." Travis exclaimed. "Is this even a good idea? Does no one remember the last time we went on a quest with the hunters?"
The atmosphere around suddenly darkened. It was as if suddenly everything had gotten darken and colder. I noticed Nico stiffen at the comment and Will grab his hand and whisper something to him as if giving moral support.
I raised my hand, "Um, what happened last time?"
My question was left unanswered, though Percy told me he'd tell me later which is better than nothing.
"History doesn't always repeat itself Travis." Thalia commented. "And back then us hunters weren't nearly as cooperative. Lady Artemis sent the two of us because we're more likely to be reasonable."
"Which means you won't be burning our cabins, right?" Conner asked. "Because that was really not fun."
I wasn't sure what had happened back then, but I agreed with Conner on that. No need to burn any cabins. We like living thank you very much.
"Guys, just because they're hunters of Artemis now doesn't mean they weren't a part of us before, Travis, Conner." Percy stood up for them.
"Percy is correct. So now that it has been decided who will be leaving, we will plan out everything tomorrow after Capture the Flag." Chiron decided. "Travis, Conner, Chris, help Rory move to the Apollo cabin."
"Capture the flag? Wha-"
The Apollo cabin had a lot more personality than the Hermes cabin.
Like yeah, the Hermes cabin was nice and homey, but the Apollo cabin looked like it did belong to people with similar tastes and abilities. There are bunk beds on either side with a cot in the middle of the cabin for the injured. Rough cedar beams rib the ceiling and the white plaster walls are bare except for a few hooks for coats and weapons. It smelled of clean linen and dried sage. The only decorations are some flower pots on the windowsill, filled with cheerful yellow blooms that I have never seen before, although they were gorgeous. One of the flowerpots was filled with red and purple hyacinths.
Knowing how the cabin looked like it was made of pure gold during the morning, the inside was surprisingly modest if I'll be honest. I honestly thought however decided to make this cabin would have made everything gold and I'll have to blink too many times to get a clear views, but so far I was liking it here.
"I suppose I should officially welcome you now." Will spoke. "Welcome to the Apollo cabin, little sis."
I had completely forgotten that since it was confirmed that I am the daughter of Apollo, I am technically the sister to anyone present in this cabin.
"Are you older than me though?" I asked him. "You don't look like you are older than me."
"Well, we're taller, so it doesn't really matter." Austin commented.
Kayla rolled her eyes and hit him in the shoulder, "How old are you?"
"Fourteen" I replied. "I'll turn fifteen in October."
"Will's fifteen." Replied Kayla. "So unfortunately, he's still the elder one."
"We need to find someone who's older than Will." Austin commented. "He's getting annoying now."
"Hey!" exclaimed Will, throwing a pillow at him.
"Pillow fight!" exclaimed one of my technically younger half-brothers, Jerry. He's also from Britain, so his accent is similar to my British accent.
The next day we were all dressed up in some fancy armour that was made of this thing called celestial bronze under my regular clothes. I was surprised at how I wasn't falling down after wearing it since I expected it to be extremely heavy.
Athena cabin had collaborated with the Apollo cabin, Hermes cabin, Poseidon Cabin, Hades Cabin and Nike Cabin while the rest were with the Ares cabin. From what I've heard, asides from Athena vs Poseidon cabin; Athena vs Ares matches are the most "fun". Now that I know these people a bit, I was pretty sure their definition of fun did not match mine.
"Trust me." Will had laughed when I had expressed my opinion. "Their definition of fun doesn't match mine either."
"Alright, Travis, Connor. You and you cabin will work on getting the flags along with some of the Athena cabin members." Annabeth spoke. Travis saluted.
Annabeth then turned to Malcolm and continued, "We already discussed who will help the Hermes cabin. You're in charge."
"Holly, Laurel, your cabin will stand with the rest of the Athena cabin, Percy and Nico to defend the flag." Annabeth turned to the Nike camp counsellors.
"Yeah, lets show those who's the winner team." Exclaimed Holly.
"Ours!" Laurel cheered. "Let's win!"
I looked at them nervously. I was glad that I wasn't against them. Many campers thought that Nico was scary, but with them for comparison, I'd rather spend my time with the emo son of Hades. At least he was cool and didn't try to conquer everything and everyone.
"Apollo cabin, hide in the trees." Annabeth spoke to us, "Shoot anyone from the other side who comes nearby and put them in the jail."
"Got it." Will gave a thumbs up.
"You know how to climb a tree?" asked Kayla as they headed to their hiding position.
I nodded. Being ADHD, whenever I was alone at home in Bristol I'd do things like climbing trees in our backyard and swinging through vines like Tarzan, which scared everyone else who'd see me because they thought I would fall. It was fun.
We separated at some point and climbed the trees which were our hiding as I kept watch around my tree. For a long time, I was doing nothing but hiding in the trees since no one would come in our sight. That is until I heard some hustling and two people stumbled out.
"You know, I miss Piper." A voice commented. I knew he was a son of Dionysus. Pollux, if I am not wrong. "At least with her your cabin did something."
"Glad to hear not all of my siblings are obsessed with their reflection." Aaron, the guy I'd be going on a quest replied, running his hand through his hair like a model. What a diva.
I smirked and pulled my air pods on. Will had warned me that from the Aphrodite cabin, out of three, two charmspeakers were in the camp so if I find them I should turn on some light music to not be affected. The way he had explained how it worked sounded like hypnotism honestly. And I had no interests.
I turned on Taylor Swift's album, Reputation. She had released it last year ad it fit my mood right now. I took out an arrow from my quiver of arrows and shoot two arrows which were attached to a rope so the two boys would be captured.
And it worked spectacularly.
"What the-" Aaron cursed in a language I am not going to repeat.
"An Apollo kid." Pollux sighed. "Of course."
I jumped down from my hiding side and greeted them cheerfully. "Hello boys!"
"You are the new girl." Aaron commented, surprised.
"Yup!" I replied. "And since I am the new girl, I am pretty sure I have to take you two to the jail thing."
"Or you could free us." Aaron commented.
I snorted. "Yeah sure pretty boy. Nice try. Come along."
I dragged the two over to the jail while the boys mumbled under their breath.
