Astrid's POV
I've been lying in bed for what feels like hours and realize that I can't sleep. Not with everything that's going on. So I wrap the blanket tightly around me and quietly tip toe out of the room I was staying in. Walking up the stairs and out into the crisp night air. I was always afraid of the dark but for some reason I'm not scared tonight. I walk towards the front of the boat and sit down against the mast.
So I'm a demigod. Half mortal half god. Every bone in my body aches wanting to see my friends and my parents and my annoying yet cute little brother. I'm hopeless as I let the tears roll down my face for the second time. Just like last time my breaths come out in loud sobs.
Suddenly a hear the creak of wood planks and relies that someone is coming this way. Quickly wiping the tears from my face hoping they won't be able to see that I have been crying. I wait.
"Hey you alright." I turn towards the sound of the voice and find myself face to face with Leo.
"Oh uhhh yeah. I'm fine." I say.
"Where you crying?"I look back up at him as he sits down next to me.
"I..I'm just confused and I already miss my friends and family. I just...." I let out a sob and then I'm full on crying. I bring my knees up to my chest and let myself cry. I'm suddenly really glad it's dark.
I feel him wrap an arm around my shoulders and he's so warm. I move closer towards him and cry into the crook of his neck.
"Mr Meshizzle Bad Boy Supreme is here." He says in a sing song voice. The tears slow down and I stare up at him.
"Mr Meshizzle Bad Boy Supreme?" I say letting out a laugh that sounded a lot like I was choking. "What?"
"Oh well...." And he goes on to tell me the story of how he came up with that name. And I relies that I'm not crying anymore. I'm laughing. And that's all thanks to Leo.
*************************************************************
I wake up and relies that I back in my bed. Leo must have carried me down. So far Leo is the only one that I can really laugh with. I feel weary around everyone else. Someone knocks on my door. I jump up out of bed and open the door. Piper is standing there.
"Hi Astrid!" She says. "How are you feeling?"
"Ummm ahhhh alright." Real smooth.
"Well do you want any breakfast we're about to eat?"
"Ummm I'm fine." Suddenly the hole in my stomach returns and the nervousness fills me up.
"Oh ok well we'll be arriving in about 30 minutes." She gives me one last smile before walking back to the dining room.
I'm still wearing the clothes that Piper gave me yesterday. A pair of ripped black jeans and a grey crop top. She told me one of her sisters put it in her bag even though she new she wasn't going to wear it. Leaving my brown wavy hair to fall down my back I walk out the door and up on the deck.
It's a beautiful day. I love the sun and summer. The warmness wraps me up as the sun shines down on me. I breath in the fresh air and for once I feel at home. I feel safe.
The 30 minutes flies by faster then I expected. Next thing I know everyone is up on deck.
"Hey." Someone stands next to me. I turn towards them.
"Hi Leo." And a smile makes it's way onto my face. He can obviously see the nervousness in it because he then starts talking.
"It's alright to be nervous. But camp is awesome. There are so many fun activities and every night we have a campfire where we all muck around. We're like one big family." I see how big his smile is and I know he's telling the truth.
I give him a smile and then the boat stops. Looking down I notice a house and a bunch of cabins. the beach is close and there are so many people.
"Wow." I whisper.
"I know right. I can't wait to show you around." He says. I look up at him. "I mean only if you want me to show you around like umm yeah only if you want me to." Oh god he's the cutest.
"I'd like for you to show me around Leo. Thanks." I say giving him a smile. I soon learnt that Jason can fly. Like how cool was that. He flew Annabeth down to the ground and then came over to me.
"Annabeth will be waiting for you down there. I'll fly you down." He says.
"Oh umm ok..." But before I can finish he has picked me up and next thing I know I have landed on the ground in front of a bunch of kids my age and older or younger. Oh how much I hate a bunch of people staring at me.
"Hey come on." Annabeth says coming out of no where and grabbing my hand. She leads me towards a blue house that she called the big house. Suddenly a centure came out of the house.
"This is camps director Chiron." Annabeth introduces.
"Ummm hi. I'm Astrid."
"Hello Astrid. Annabeth do you want to give Astrid a tour."
"Oh ummma actually." I but in. "Leo was going to give me a tour if that's alright." They both look at me and then they both nod. So I walk away from them and try to find Leo.
"Leo." I shout.
"Yes yes he master is here." Says Leo stepping out of the crowd. I let out a giggle. Wait what. I just freaking giggled. Yep ok that was weird.
"Hello Asrtid. We will now start out tour." He says putting on a posh accent. He then leads me away to start our tour.
