"Hello. My name is ?Charlie. Charlie Thompson. I am an incredibly hot and popular guy who every girl wants to date. My parents are rich and love me so much. We live in a massive mansion that has more than 500 servants. My life is perfect. I have loads of friends. All the boys have bullied people for me. All the girls let me kiss them whenever I want and they all Act like my own slaves. Everyone has seen my face.." Charlie sits getting fed grapes. Living his life if luxury, fame and perfection.
I drop my pen. Damn. I always mess up. Lets get some things straight. My name is Crow. Crow Titan not Charlie Thompson. I've been at camp halfblood since I was a month old. And my life is the complete opposite to Charlie's. I live in a tree house near Juniper. One of my only friends. Then I hear a bell.
(3rd person P.O.V)
Crow stepped out of his tree house. The sign him, Letitia and Juniper made still hung proud. 'Tree house 13- Crow Bird and Co.' he looked at it closely. Running his finger tips over the black and red paint. He was nine when they painted it. They being him, Letitia and Juniper.
Carefully removing his hand he made sure his head was covered by his hood. Then gently slung Hostium, his bow, over his shoulder and across his chest so it ran in a diagonal line running from his left shoulder to the right hand side of his hip. And made sure Homicida, his arrow, was in his pocket. Before jumping down.
He followed the path singing to himself "when you feel lucky look into my eyes, it's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide" he bit his lip. He was pretty sure these were not the right words but you know... When you are alone for thirteen years you don't really care.
He looked at his beads. Thirteen of them. He clutched the first one. It was a black baby. It symbolised Crow coming. But all the people that loved the little lad had left. Leaving him with idiots like the children of Ares. Then he dodged a stone that was thrown by an Ares kid. "Not gonna react birdy?" He called. Crow ignored him and kept walking to lunch. They always tried to get him to lash out. Just so he would get in trouble.
Then he caught sight of a sandy haired and blue eyed girl. Letitia Castellan. "Hey Crow" she called leaving her best friend Annabeth to talk to me.
"You okay Teash?" He ask. She nods. "You know you didn't have to leave Annabeth to come talk to me..." Crow then adds as she cuts him off.
"I don't care. Say Crow can I join you at your table tonight?" She asks him. As he thought for a moment. Processing what she just said.
"If you really want to. Plus you might get in trouble..." He replies. Crow stares into her eyes. The Castellans are blessed with these blue ocean orbs that just take your breath away. She frowns at the fact she can't see his face.
She reaches to pull his good up but In
lighting speed he pulls it down. "Why won't you show your face?" She asked. Well more demanded. "I'm your friend you should be comfortable showing me your face!" It was true. He should feel comfortable around her. But when it got to the hood. He just tightly packed up."I'm sorry Teash. I... I... I'll show you tonight meet me by the tree house. At midnight" crow says. As she touched his arm.
"Why are you so different Crow? Why are you so difficult to figure out? Why are you a mystery?" She asked him. He looked at her in the eye.
"I've been asking myself that question all my life" he said clearly as they walked into the hall. And sat at Crow's table. Then Annabeth came over.
"Mind if I join you" she asked as Crow looked at her.
"Be my guest" Crow says. As Annabeth studies him. As he talks to his drink. "Black coffee, no sugar or milk" he says as it filled up. Then his plate of food became a McDonalds plain cheeseburger happy meal with a pineapple stick instead of chips. Then he changed his mind about the drink. "Black coloured strawberry milkshake" he said. Then Luke. Letitia's big brother came over.
"Crow... How's it hanging? Nice to see you Annabeth. And Er Teashy? Why aren't you at dads table? With your family?" He asked.
"Because I'm here with my Beffa's" she replied. Letitia didn't care about the family stick motto. Yes she would follow Luke to the end of the Earth but he always questioned her motives so she wasn't exactly appealed to having her every move studied.
"Well we are expecting you at Breakfast. Erin needs someone to talk to" Luke says as he sauntered of. Most girls at camp fancied Luke. The boys were head over heals for Annabeth and Letitia.
(Crow's P.O.V)
A sensation I've never felt before just swarmed inside of me. Like I could run a mile. It might of been the coffee. Or just the thrill of the wind on my face. I feel like I could run a mile. So I run back to my tree house and pull off my hood. My protection. My mask.
Waiting isn't fun. Just sitting in a hammock watching a black pirate flag sway out of my window. I glance at the clock. Ten to twelve. Sugar! Sugar! I race to the mirror.
Black vest top. Check. Chino shorts. Check. Hair spiked into a casual flick. Check. Clean face. Check. I head a voice. "Hey Rapunzel let down your hair" someone called. So I chucked the bucket down and a black pebble was placed in it and a ladder appeared. Then Letitia slowly clambered up.
I stand. Frozen. A statue in Medusa's garden. Letitia looks at me... And doesn't she look surprised...
(Letitia's P.O.V)
I mean I was nervous. What if Crow was half monster? Like what they say in the ares cabin. I know I shouldn't say things about Crow that way. But if he can't show his face in public then... Ugh what am I saying. Crows my friend no matter what.
I chuck my pebble in the bucket. He has an enchanted tree house. If you put a black pebble with a bow symbol on it into the bucket you get to go up. Well Crow just says up And he's there.
I clim the steps one step brings a new image. First a troll, then a fury, then a gorgon, then two face from batman, then scar from the lion king and I finished with an old crippled man. Crow had his back facing me. Then he slowly turned round.
He had a pitch black coloured hair style. With was flicked into a perfect curve. His face was perfection then I saw it. A big bed scar running from underneath his left eyebrow down too the bottom of his lip. I couldn't help myself I touched his scar.
"How did you get this?" I asked. Quiet curios. He looked at me.
"I was cut to be identified soon after I was born. About five minutes after I think." He said calmly. And also unlike some demigods Crow is an Orphan. He has been at camp for ages.
I remember when me, Luke, Annabeth, Grover and almost Thalia came to camp. He was very helpful. He took me to his tree house and he showed me his Myth-o-magic set. And explained everything in a term I could understand. He even gave me one of his special cola lace cookies. And a few extra for Luke and the others. I guess that's why I stick with him.
"You should take your hood off and show your face." I say. He looks at me in a as-if-lunatic sort of way. That I do not appreciate.
"Okay" he says after a while. And me saying I would stay In his bed until he would. Well I crept back into my cabin and fell into a deep dream filled sleep.
