The Hunt For The Golden Apple

Chapter 3: The Tour

"MORNING!" a voice yelled over me.

I opened my left eye to see who it was, but my vision was blurry. Why are these people waking me up this early?!

"Finally. Sleepy head's awake." Another voice said.

"Morning?" I muttered sitting up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.

I saw Demetrius and Hermia both smiling and looking fresh as daisies.

"Yeah. Morning. It's like 11:30am you slept in." Demetrius told me.

"Really?" I remarked looking at my watch. "Oh god it is!"

I jumped out of bed as fast as I could and rushed out to the very, and I mean VERY, tiny bathroom to brush my teeth. I locked the door behind me leaving Hermia and Demetrius in the other room. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I couldn't help but flinch away from the face staring back at me. There was a hair ball at the side of my head and my under eyes could be seen from miles. Don't even get me started on my breath. Once I got out, with my teeth brushed and hair untangled. Waiting for me in the other room were Demetrius and Hermia who had gotten all dressed already. They wore plain white t-shirts that said camp demigod in grey, and Hermia wore short shorts while Demetrius was wearing jeans. By the looks of the clothes I would have guessed that they hadn't been washed in months and haven't been taken out of the closet for...Maybe years. The smell only confirmed my theory.

"Now something for you.... Let's see here..." Hermia stuck her head in the closet. "Do you want long sleeve, tank top, or short sleeve?" She asked me.

"What?" I exclaimed, walking over to see.

She moved aside letting me see the inside. Inside the closet there was a white t-shirt, white tank top, white long sleeved shirt and a sweater. They all said Camp Demigod on them in bold grey letters. Also there were some short shorts, shorts, jeans, and some long winter pants. All blue.

"I'll take strap and short shorts please." I told Hermia, and she tossed them to me.

"Shoes? We got sneakers, sandals and winter boots."

"I'm gonna go for sneakers."

She tossed me some sneakers and I went in the bathroom to get changed. Once I was all dressed and ready, we went outside to find Brisa. THAT SMELL!! How long had this been in the closet!?

Now that it was sunny out I could see a lot better. The camp was incredible!

The place was the size of 7 mega football fields. On our left was a spinning wall with campers trying to get to the top. Farther to our left was a mega lake for swimming and canoeing, along with showers right beside it. A hearth burned in the middle of the place. Two large arenas (one gold, one silver) rose behind the hearth. A large mansion, that looked about 3 stories high, stood to the left of the arenas. It was white with a black roof and must have had 100 rooms. Beside the cabin were three rows of long house like buildings. They were long and short, maybe a story high. Their roofs here a dark brown and on each row there were six doors. On each door was a different symbol stating something which was unclear to me at this point . On the horizon where the building should have to be, were mountains. There mountains behind the lake as well making it even more magnificent. We where surrounded by a thick forest but who cares when you have so much space! I couldn't take it all in all at ones. The place gave me shivers, the good kind. I was woken up from my glaze of awe by a firm voice.

"Well look who's awake." A familiar voice made us all jump. "Don't worry it's just me."

We all turned to see Brisa's smiling face, blue camp T-shirt, and shorts. Ready to give us a tour, she looked like she hadn't slept a wink.
