Hades' Chosen Prince

30. An intrigiung Monster

Jasmine kept growling and punching my chest, but her punches didn't hurt, in fact she had tears forming in her eyes; she was shaking and barely even lifting her arms to punch me. She gave up after a while and laid her head on my chest to hide the fact that she was crying "s-stupid" she mumbled onto my chest. I hugged her and kissed her head "I know... I'm sorry Jasmine, I should've told you something" she nodded and slowly got up helping me to my own feet.

While all this happened Angie was sitting on a bed watching us giggling "are you two datiiiing?" she asked, which made both Jasmine and I blush crimson red "um... don't you have some exploring to do?" I asked trying to calm my blush, Angie shook her head grinning "don't want to go alone, besides who's gonna watch over you two" we both blinked.

Jasmine asked "why watch over us little one?" Angie giggled and jumped out of bed "as in, make sure you guys start sucking on each other's faces" she then looked at Jasmine and smiled innocently at her, this only made Jasmine blush up to her ears "gods you... fine go ahead" Jasmine smiled and walked out of the cabin "c'mon guys".

Angie and I walked out following Jasmine. We gave Angie a small tour on the most important parts of camp, them being: the arena, the chariot track, the big house, the weapons shed, and the lake.

Angie was smiling brightly while we walked, she quickly became friends with a group of girls around her age, Jasmine and I pointed some girls being from the Thanatos, Hermes, Zeus, Hypnos and Apollo cabins.

Angie was giggling with the other girls before walking up and kissing mine and Jasmine's cheeks "I gotta go back with the girls, thanks to you both, I finally have friends" she smiled widely, these were probably the only friends she has had since she would spend too much of her time in a hospital, she hugged us tightly smiling "don't be doing anything you'll regret" she giggled and skipped away with the other girls leaving Jasmine and I blushing bright red and standing there speechless.

With no word we headed to the entrance of camp and leaned on both pillars "so... your sister's nice" Jasmine said smiling slightly, I only answered by nodding "so... why were you gone for a whole week?" she asked.
I sighed heavily, I didn't want to tell her what had happen in that 'week' I was gone... too many horrible things... so I put up a fake smile and looked at her "just a family meeting, guess time flies by when you're in the underworld" Jasmine stared at me and sighed "I know it's not the whole truth, but I won't pry it from you" we both looked at each other's eyes and genuinely smiled.

We started talking about random things or just talking about the demigods who just so happened to pass by, but soon we were interrupted by a new-ish camper.

She had long blonde straight hair which easily went down to her lower back, she was somewhat tanned, her lips were a velvet red while her eyes were a livid dark green color, she wore dark skinny jeans and a pink tank top with a jean jacket over her shoulders "hey folks, I'm Zayra Meza daughter of Aphrodite" we looked at her and smiled slightly "I'm Jasmine daughter of Zeus, that ghost you see over there is Brian , son of Hades" I glared at Jasmine and stuck my tongue out making her giggle and smirk.

"Oookay? well I'm sorta new, been only taken to my cabin, and no one has time to show me around so... could you guys help a girl out?" she asked twirling her hair, Jasmine and I nodded and started showing her around camp. Odd thing is, I would see her try to get her arms around either me or Jasmine, she also had a slight blush on her cheeks and nose, to be honest she looked quiet adorable. Whenever one of us would turn to see her, she'd look away like a frightened deer. After her tour we dropped her off at her cabin "well that's all there is here" Jasmine said looking around, Zayra nodded and kissed both mine and Jasmine's cheeks as she blushed deep red "I uh... Thanks" she said moving some strands of the hair that was on her face behind her ear "anyway... I heard there was a bonfire tonight... you guys should probably come, it sure is fun around you two" with no more words left to say, she made her way into the cabin.

Jasmine and I looked at each other and nodded in agreement to go to the bonfire, we would usually skip them and leave spiders in the Athena cabin, Jasmine had explained that all of the Athena offspring's are born with arachnophobia to protect them from Arachne, long story short Athena turned the mortal Arachne into a spider and all of Arechne's decedents want revenge on Athena's decedents.

We would also misplace some weapons or tools from a few cabins, luckily no one ever has caught us.

This time it was different we were actually expecting the bonfire to be fun, so we waited by the lake; when it got dark enough we walked back to the Aphrodite cabin. Zayra was already out the door with a long sleeve dark sweatshirt and had her hair pulled back into a ponytail "hey guys, thought you'd never make it, come on" she walked over and held us both by our hips and dragged us to a bonfire, it wasn't much, but there was a few campers and satyrs.

Jasmine sat down next to me and Zayra sat on my other side "well now that we're all here, who wants to start?" Zayra asked.

we both looked at Zayra confused as everyone else started to whispers to each other "riight, well in this bonfire we say poems. Would you like to try?" I shook my head, but Jasmine nodded and got up "I'm Jasmine and I'll be saying the -" she was cut off by a sudden growl and movement from the bushes, everyone stood up and had their weapons drawn; what came out was a horrible creature, it had deep green skin, red glowing eyes, leathered bat wings, an arrow pointed tail with the spikes going up her back and stopped at her neck; the monster had awfully large claws and talons, and to tip it all off; twisted horns at its head and dagger size sharp teeth. Indeed it was nothing I've ever fought or thought possible, but never the less a monster is a monster and it will die. I only saw it smirk and roar so loudly that the harpies flew away from their trees.
