Facing Fear

Monica hopped in my mom's car to go to camp. This will be our third year at camp. I couldn't wait to see Hayden, Ben and Nico. You see, Monica and I are both demigods, daughters of a Greek god and a mortal. Monica's mom is Demeter, goddess of harvest and one of the deities of marriage, and my dad is Poseidon god of the sea and earthquakes.

We were at Camp Half-Blood by 4:00 p.m. We jumped out the car and said good bye to my mom. When we reached the safe zone we turned around and waved to my mom. When she drove away I turned to Monica "Meet you at the beach at 5?"

"Duh!" Monica responded. It was a tradition for us to meet at the beach after we unpack. I walk to my cabin and unpack my sheets and comforter. They were sea green. I finished and headed to the beach, I was gonna be 5 minutes early. I had put on my bikini at the cabin.

I ran into the water and hid there until Monica showed up. I made a huge wave to splash her, it did. when she stabilized herself she yelled. "Maxi! I well kill you!"

"With what? Plants?" I countered her threat. She jumped in and we started splashing each other. She obviously lost. When we got out it was dinner I sat down at the Poseidon table alone since my half brother wasn't here.

I sat at the Poseidon table and ate in silence. When everyone finished they flooded the campfire to sing along to songs that the Apollo cabin lead. After a few songs Someone covered my eyes "Guess who?" They said,

"Hm, Pluto, no Mickey Mouse," I toyed, I already knew who it was, "Oh I got it, Nico!" I finally say,

"Hey Maxi." He sat down next to me, "How was school?"

"Horrible," I answer "As always."

We caught up the rest of the night. We were the last two at the camp fire, we there so long that the campfire puffed out, I whimpered. Nico just chuckled "It's not funny." I defended myself hitting his arm playfully,

"It's not, it's hilarious!"

"Bitch,"I said under my breath,

"There's no reason to use that language!" Nico exclaimed, I rolled my eyes at him. We got into a playful argument on gods know what and started wrestling. We stopped to catch our breathes, I realized how close we were, apparently Nico had to. We both blushed madly. He got up first, did I mention he was on top of me? Nico helped me and I said good bye "It's nice hanging out after so long." I say hugging him, He hugged back,

"It is.". We went our separate ways to our cabins. When got there I crashed on my bunk. That's when I got my first series of nightmares that summer.
