Pretty Like The Moon

f i v e

Lunch ended a while ago and Zoey left to go do something with her siblings. At least I made a friend finally . I go back to the sword arena to practice, I need to get better at this .

I practice every thing the daughter of Ares taught me. I look over at the over kids and try mimicking what there are doing. After around an hour of practicing with the dummy. One of the instructors says to pick a partner and spar. Oh great this is just like school I sigh and look around and see a boy standing alone looking around to. I walk up to him and look at the tall boy with brown straight hair and green eyes.

" Hi I'm Ariella wanna spar " I ask the boy looking up at him. He looks at me " I'm Malachi are you new here I never seen you before " he asks me while introducing himself to me.

" yeah I'm new is it obvious " I ask laughing embarrassed a bit.

" no it's not I'm just observant your still un claimed right? " Malachi asks me and I nod not saying anything. " My Dads Apollo getting claimed isn't all that it's hyped up to be the Gods can be cruel " he tells me looking away from me.

Starting to spar I grab my sword and he goes to attack me and I dodge him going around him trying to attack him. His sword hits mine and he starts to over power me so I sweep my legs under him and he falls dropping his sword I put mine up to his neck. The wind blows around us and I shiver and put my sword down.

" I win " I jump up and down cheering my black hair flying around. Malachi laughs at me " you won this one round don't let the win get to you raven " he tells me. Raven that's a cute nickname I like it. I flip him off and grab his hand helping him up off the ground.

We spar a few more times and he wins 2 and I win 3. We're both now sore and sweaty, I laugh " what's funny " the boy asks me. I shake my head " the look on your face when you lost " I continue to laugh and he pushes me and grabs our swords putting them away. I get up following the boy who I now have claimed as a friend of mine.

" where ya going " I ask in a sing song voice. He looks down at me " to get water you coming or what " he reply's and keeps walking. I catch up to him and we go to the dining area grabbing water and sitting down on a random bench.

" so you the son of Apollo what's that like " I ask the boy. The wind blows through my hair making me shiver a bit. The green eyed boy looks at me then at sky considering he's laying down on the table on his back. " it's not to bad we don't do much we mostly stay in medical to help injured campers and practice we have many talents " he tells me.

The said boy randomly gets up and looks around and starts fixing his hair and shirt. I raise my eyebrows " what's up with you " I ask the boy wondering why he suddenly started changing up. He looks around and sighs " there's this boy I kind of like and he's over there " he points to a strong muscular black haired boy with dark eyes, son of Ares. I stare at him shocked " that boy could crush you " I tell him laughing, he pushes me " shut up as if I didn't see you just staring at a certain curly headed girl " he tells me making eye contact with me. I look at him mouth open shocked he even suspects that. He puts his finger under my chin " don't act shocked " he tells me.

" I - I don't - I wasn't staring at her you liar maybe you were looking at her " I studded trying to change the topic. He laughs " oh you so we're looking at her " . I scoff and cross my arms over my chest. " don't worry Ariella I won't tell if you don't " the son of Apollo tells me. I nod and we stay on the benches for a while in comfortable silence.

The daughter of Ares looks over at the raven haired new girl at camp. She cant figure that girl out and it's been bothering her. She watches as the beautiful raven haired girl laughs with the son of Apollo.

Right now the Ares kids are hanging out talking about training. The sons and daughters of Ares are all tall and muscular a gift they got from their father.

Matt the son of Ares who Malachi was crushing on points to Ariella. " Hey ain't that the new girl they found at the tree " he says to his sibling. They all look over the see the beautiful raven haired girl sitting down soaking in the sun. Clarisse nods at her siblings " she's good with a bow not so much a sword " she tells them.

" she's tint girl looks like 5 foot ain't she 16 " he states laughing. All the other kids laugh with him but Clarisse who won't admit it but finds it kind of cute. She won't lie the girl impressed her when she saw her with a bow and arrow for the first time and how fast she picked up on how to use a sword.

Ariella turns to the son of Apollo whispering " is it just me or are the Ares kids looking at us should I be scared " she says to the brown haired boy. He looks at her then at the kids watching them " they are don't look or say anything maybe it's nothing " he says to the short girl trying to calm her nerves.

Trying to change the topic Malachi asks " wait do you like girls or guys " . Ariella looks at him " both to be honest " she responds not lying to him because she was comfortable around him. He smiles " same raven " he replies using the nickname he gave her.

Malachi is a tall almost 6 foot lankey boy with prominent green eyes and brown hair. He is one of the sons of Apollo he's good at archery and medical not really musical like some of his siblings. He's been at camp for around z2 years now.

The Ares kids change the topic deciding to play Bloody Drabble a game they made. It's just where they wrestle each other and play fight.

The raven haired girl and brown headed boy get up from the dining area and walk back to there different cabins deciding to shower since dinner is soon.

Ariella passes by the Ares kids now realizing how big they are. She speed walks past them hoping no one noticed her. Clarisse watches her walk into her cabin not saying a word.

Ariella goes into the bathroom and washes her body and hair changing into a pair of jeans and long sleeved shirt that showed off her body. Ariella has always had a good figure the only issue being her height. She never had many friends growing up girls hated her because of jealousy and boys thought she was weird with her ADHD and dyslexia.

She grabs her sketch book and goes into the dinning area stealing a sand which and bottle of water sneaking away.

She goes into the woods and sits down on a rock and heads the horn blow for dinner. She doesn't make a move to get up instead sitting down and starting to sketch the world around her.

When Ariella is sketching she cancelled out the world around her. The time passes by quickly and soon it is dark out and the stars and moon are out being the only source of light for the campers.

Ariella gets up closing her book and leaving the woods. She walks out only to bump into something hard she form as rubbing her head looking up to see the favorited daughter of Ares. Clarisse La Rue.
