Regrettably Mine

-4-

The next few days I spent at camp were mainly learning the activities that everyone participated in.

I learnt how to properly use my throwing knife, or ring, or whatever you want to call it, and I found out that whener I threw it, it would always magically reaper in ring form on my finger. I learned about all the nature spirits and satyrs that lived at camp, I even made some new friends.
Clarisse from the Ares cabin taught me how to throw a spear, Jason from the Hephestus cabin attempted to teach me how to forge a weapon (did not end well), and Lacy from the Aphrodite cabin gave me a brand-new mascara, because my old one was still in my foster house.

It was Wednesday morning when Lacy came running up to me.

"Oh, my gods! Lina, have you heard? Mason is back!"
Before I could ask her what was going on, and why she was fangirling over some Hermes kid, she ran off towards the her cabin.
I glanced around to attempt to see anyone I knew, to ask them what was going on, when I saw Annabeth running towards the Big House.

"What's going on?" I asked her as I ran up to her.

She stopped running and faced me. "Mason's back." She panted. "I wanna check to see if anything big has happened. You can come if you want." And with that, she ran off towards the big blue house.
I followed her until we were at the deck of the big house.
A teenage boy, about 17 years old, with brown curly hair and deep brown eyes was sitting on a deck chair sipping out of a glass cup.

"Mason!" Annabeth called.

"What's up?" He asked sleepily. His eyes drifted towards me. "Who's this?"

"This is Lina," Annabeth told him.

"Undetermined?" Mason asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, I haven't been claimed yet. You don't have to make it sound like it's the most horrible thing in the world." I said.

Mason smiled. "Aren't you just a ray of sunshine." He said sarcastically.

"Oh, just fuck off." I muttered. I turned around just as I was about to walk away, Annabeth gasped.

"I knew it!" She said.

I whipped around to see both Annabeth and Mason staring at me, but they weren't staring at me, they were looking at something above me. I looked up to see a red holographic boar head floating above my head.

Chiron and another guy, a short pudgy man with cheetah print clothes walked out the door of the big house as the holographic boar head was fading.

"Oh my..." Chiron muttered. "Lina, you have been claimed, by Ares. God of war, and the spirit of battle."

"I guess we know what team you'll be on for capture the flag." Annabeth murmured.

Not long after the word got out that I had been claimed, Clarisse came up to me with a group of Ares kids behind her and welcomed me to the cabin.

"We are so happy that you'll be on our team for capture the flag tomorrow. We heard that your knife throwing skills are sick!" Clarisse smiled.

"Thanks, you guys. I'm going to get the rest of my stuff from cabin 11 now anyway." I ran off towards the Hermes cabin. I opened the door, surprisingly, there wasn't any kids inside. I leaned over to pick up my belongings when a voice behind me spoke.

"Leaving so soon, Sunshine?" Mason was standing 5 feet behind me with a grin planted across his face.

"Don't call me that." I said dryly.

"Alright Sunshine. What ever you say." He grinned.

I leaned back over and picked up my pillow, underneath were all my stuff, a pocket mirror, lip gloss, and a flask. I picked it up, uncapped the top, and took a swig.

"Managed to sneak it in?" Mason asked.

"Mhm." I nodded. Before I could even say the word 'Tartarus', he snatched the flask out of my hands and took a sip.

"Vodka." He noted. I snatched the flask back and stuffed it into my pocket. I picked up the rest of my belongings, and glanced at Mason, who was sitting on a bunk bed by the wall.

"Bye Sunshine!" He called as I walked out the door.
And I couldn't help rolling my eyes.
