Why him?

Ch.12

I closed the door behind me and leaned my back against it, smiling and biting my lip. Cletus looked up at me.

"What are you looking at?!" I said. He huffed again and hopped on my bunk sense Nico booted him off his.

"Honestly I don't know what you see in that guy." Nico says. Speak of the devil

"To be honest, I don't even know what I see in him." I say.

"Whatever makes you happy." He adds.

"Well, we got a big day tomorrow. We should sleep. Do you snore?" Nico asked.

"No. But Cletus might." I say as I grab my pj's and head towords the bathroom.

"*sigh* Then I'll sleep on the roof." He says, grabs his pillow and walks to the door.

"No! You don't have to do that! Cletus can sleep outside." I say and walk up to him.

"No, he'd get in trouble with the harpies. Plus I like to sleep under the stars anyway. I just hope Jason and Piper arent up on a roof making out the whole night." He says. I laugh.

"Well night new bro." I say. He half smiles. He grabs a piece of my blonde hair and tugs on it slightly before opening the door.

"G'night Audrey." He says and leaves, up to the roof.

I walk back to the bathroom, take a shower and get ready for bed. Cletus was still on the bed when I came back. I stood at the edge and put my hands on my hips.

"Move over ya big dummy!" I say. He complies and I crawl under the covers. Cletus stretches out puting his head on my shoulder. I stroke the top of his head as my mind wanders.

Training starts tomorrow. How am I gonna keep up with everyone else? I should have asked Chiron about that. Ugh! Its going to be so emberrassing. I wonder how Nico's doing up there. I feel kinda bad about him having to sleep up there but he did say he liked it. I wonder what Tavi is thinking about right now. *crash*

I grab my glasses and sit up. What in Hades was that?!

*crash SCREAM* I grab my shoes and poke my head out the door. Nicos already on the ground and is motioning for me to go back inside. I shake my head and step out a little more. He sighs and shoves me back inside and quickly locks the door.

"Hey!" Dick! More screaming followed by yelling.

"Its coming from the Athena cabin!!"

Tori!! Is there another way out of here? I think back to how I got to camp in the first place. Shadowtravel. How do I do that again? Well I got plenty of shadows to chose from and it couldn't hurt, right? I position myself in front of the biggest shadow and step back a few feet. Then I imagine the inside of the Athena cabin and run straight for the shadow. Unfortunately Tavi opens the door right as I'm a couple inches from the shadow and distracts me so I faceplant face first into the wall and fall on the floor with a thud.

"Aaaaaah." I groan and curl up into a ball on the floor.

"What in Apollos lire are you doing?!?!" He yells as he runs to my side. "Are you okay, bellus?" He asks. I nod and he helps me sit up. "Good because that was hilarious!! Hahaha!!"

"Shut up ass wipe!!! Tori's in trouble and don't you dare try and stop me!!" I stand up and race to her cabin. Percy and Gray where standing the closest to the door and around them was a small group of demigods. Jessie, Kirstin and Eric aren't far behind me but, because I'm not the fastest, they catch up with ease. We fight our way to the front of the crowd. Percy was telling Gray to stay out here but he refused.

"Hey! How bout we stop arguing and save your girlfriends!!" Kirstin shouted. With that Percy grabbed Riptide and burst through the door, Gray and the rest of us not too far behind. At first all we saw was tori curled up into a little ball but then we noticed Annabeth fighting something on the far side of the room.
