When Nightmares Become Reality

The campfire

After this past week Amy was prepared for a lot of weird things to happen, Chiron being half horse and half human, was not one of them.
''Hey, you must be Amelia,'' Chiron said suspicious.
''Yeah, thats me.'' Amy answered shy, she wasn't used to people using her real name.
Chiron was a normal, white, middle aged man from the waist and up. When you got lower he was a white horse. Amy thought she was dreaming, maybe her fight with Tobias was just this stupid dream, she hoped so. She regretted the way she'd reacted, well no. She was sure Tobias had just been lying about Nathan. Nathan was to hot to be a jerk, wait what. Okay she was not acting like herself right now.
"Amelia?"
"Oh, sorry. What were you saying?" Amy asked awkwardly.
"I was asking you who your mortal parent is, do you have a mother or a father?"
"I don't like to talk about it, why does everyone keep asking me that?"
"I've heard about a lot of weird families, I don't think you'll surprise me, but if you don't want to tell me thats okay." Chiron said without looking at her.
"I don't know who my mortal parent is, I've been moving, as long as i can remember, from different families all the time. No one seen so want me." Amy didn't like where this conversation was going.
"Aha, I see. Well then I guess we won't have a choice than to wait."
"Wait for what?"
"The sign from your godly parent, I've got a clue though."
"What? Who? How come you have a clue when I don't? We just met!"
"I've lived for many years Amy, I got a lot of experience."
Amy was confused, the horseman didn't look older than 45 or 50, maybe he lived in horse-years or something.
"I'll se you tonight at the campfire, Amy. Have a good day." Chiron looked straight into her eyes, like he was studying her soul. She looked down and left the room. She forgot to raise her head and walked straight into a boy.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Amy apologised, then she noticed that the guy she'd bumped into was Nathan.
"I got a tip for you, watch where your going." He laughed.
"Hah, I'm sorry. I just talked to Chiron, you couldn't have given me a heads up about the horse part huh?"
"Oh yeah that, I'm so used to it I totally forgot, but lets not talk about him. I bet you're hungry, lets eat dinner."
"Is it that late? Well, sure, I guess."
"Great lets go, we can even sit on the same table."
"Can't i choose who I wanna sit with myself?" As soon as Amy said those words she knew she'd formed them wrong, Nathan looked confused and offended.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it like that! I mean like do we have to sit with our cabin members?" Amy tried to correct herself.
"Thats okay, and yeah its a rule." Nathan explained.

As they where walking side by side, so close their arms bumped into each other's sometimes, she noticed Toby joking around with the Apollo kids. When he saw her with Nathan, his smile disappeared. His eyebrows did that cute thing when he got worried, they went towards each other and a little bit down. Amy looked away, ignoring him. She wasn't in the mood to fight with him.
She looked up at Nathan who took her hand and smiled down at her, Amy smiled back.

Amy hadn't talked to Tobias since this morning, but she didn't have time to think about him now. The campfire started in half an hour. She was just wearing her black skinny jeans, with one of the orange CHB teeshirts she'd gotten, she took a grey hoodie over it. She didn't look to bad in orange, she'd never tried it before. It was too bright for her, she liked basic colors, like grey, black and white. She didn't want to stand out, but in this weird camp you stood out if you didn't wear orange.
"Ready to go?" Nathan smiled at her.
"Sure, lets go." Amy answered.
"You nervous?" Nathan saw through her mask.
"I may find out who my godly parent is tonight, its not like I'm just getting a grade back."
"Yeah I truly hope you think this is a bit bigger than school," Nathan laughed.

The flames changed colours and hight biased on how the mood was in the crowd, lets just say the flames were really high and bright. Amy looked for Tobias, but she couldn't see him. The demigods were singing pretty childish and weird songs, but they seemed to have a great time. After a while with songs and laughter Chiron took the word.
"I hope everyone is having a great night, I just want to introduce a new camp member for you. Amelia will you come up here?" Chiron looked at Amy.
Nathan pushed her close to him and whispered in her ear; "good luck."
Then he pushed her in front of the crowed of teenagers. Amy wanted to run and hide, but she walked nervously up to Chiron.
"Is there anything you wanna say to the other members, Amelia?" Chiron asked her loudly so the others could hear him.
"Um, hey, you can call me Amy. Nice to meet you." Amy felt stupid as she said the last sentence, but the other camp members just cheered for her. Suddenly they stopped, the whole crowed got completely silent. What had she done? Had she said something wrong? Then in the middle of the crowd she heard a boy say; "Holy crap."
Then everyone got down at their knees for her. She was so confused, she wanted to escape.
She turned to Chiron.
"What is going on?" She asked him.
"Your godly parent." He pointed just over her head.
Amy looked up and saw a glowing trident.
"What does that mean?'' Amy asked confused.
"Your a daughter of Poseidon, the god of the sea, I'm not surprised, all I wanna know is how your still alive."

Finally i posted, sorry it took so long. But yeah she's Poseidon's daughter, what a surprise. I wonder why shes afraid of water then. I feel like this may be a bit rushed, so sorry if I'm right. hahah
