Outsider (Story about Camp Halfblood)

Chapter 36

I woke up to a loud pound on my door.

"Mia!" Pollux whined, covering his face with his pillow.

There was another, louder, knock on the door.

"Ugh, I'm coming!" I shouted, standing up but getting twisted in my sheets and fell to the floor. I groaned and pulled myself up and opened the door with a greeting by Clarisse's fist.

"Ouch! Dang!" I cursed a bit more and cupped my forehead.

"Mia, I'm so sorry!" Clarisse apologized. She turned behind her and barked at one of her siblings, "Go get her some ice, now!"

"It's okay, I'll be fine. Just what do you want, it's only seven." I said.

Clarisse straightened and asked, "Will the Dionysus cabin join the red team for this Friday's capture the flag?"

Pollux stumbled to the door. "I thought Darcy already asked."

"She did, but I told her to wait until tomorrow." I answered.

"Well I got here first so I get first dibs." Clarisse practically growled.

"Why? We are only two people." Pollux exclaimed, running his hand through his messy curls.

"Does it matter?" Clarisse asked, crossing her arms.

Pollux yawned and I took this chance to butt in. "No, but I guess the only fair way I can think of is to wait and see who's on whose team. So if you have less, we join you and vise versa. But you have to try and get people!"

Clarisse's brother came back with ice and gave it to me, looking pleased that I wasn't passed out of the floor or something. I put the ice to my head and it was then I realized my head was throbbing.

"I already got people on that so you have no worries. You might want to lay down for awhile, I'll see you later." Clarisse waved and left with her brother on her heels.

"Pollux, can you just lay me down on my bed? I don't think I can move without passing out." I said softly, shutting the door.

I don't know how long I had slept, but when I woke up I expected to be in my bed.

Darcy was talking to me, well barking at me, I could'nt really understand her but I knew she was upset.

"What?" I yawned, rubbing my eyes, Darcy's face duplicated. "What's going on?"

"What?" Darcy half shouted. "I was--you didn't--were you sleep walking?"

"I dunno, but is it okay to see double?" I blinked, trying to make Darcy's second head go away.

"Ugh. Let's get you some ambrosia before you pass out." Darcy sighed, grabbing my hand a dragging me behind her. I felt like I was floating.

"Clarisse's fist is very hard." I said.

Darcy stopped and then forced me on her back. "Yep, I bet it is."

"I don't like piggy back rides. I feel like I child." I said, yawning.

"Whatever. Just close your eyes, we're almost to your cabin." Darcy said, pushing through a crowd of demigods in the commons.

"Hey! Darcy! Wait!" someone called. I flipped my head back and saw Pollux running up.

"Hi!" I waved, still upside down.

"Okay you aren't right." Pollux said once he got close, he had a sour look on his face.

"I know. Is she like hallucinating?" Darcy asked.
