So my day started out great and then I received news that my cat (an adorable heathen who never failed to make me laugh even though half the time he was terrorizing our entire household) so I'm writing this chapter to take my mind off things. Enjoy :)

______________________________________________________Chapter 5: Like Father Like Daughter
Bryn woke up to a massive clap of thunder. It didn't jar her awake but it was enough to prevent her from falling back asleep. She sat up, rubbing her eyes to get the sleepiness out. She glanced around the Poseidon cabin. Luke was still conked out, the other beds were empty as usual. The fountain in the corner trickled quietly, almost impossible to hear over the cacophonous storm.
"You okay?" Luke mumbled.
"Yeah. Storm woke me up. Go back to sleep."
Luke began to listen to her when the door threw itself open. Both demigods jumped into fighting position, both having their swords immediately elongated, ready to fight. They lowered their weapons when they saw who it was. Silena stood sheepishly in the doorway.
"Sorry," she said. "The wind..."
"What kind of maelstrom is this?" Bryn asked.
"Your father. My grandfather. Hades is bound to show up soon. Have you seen the waterspout outside?"
"You're saying that way too casually," Luke said, glaring suspiciously at his sister before peeking out the window. Bryn followed him. Sure enough, a water spout, half a mile wide, made half of air and have of water, was hovering over Long Island Sound.
"What are they bickering about?" Bryn inquired, turning back around. Luke went over and put a shirt on.
"No idea. All the campers are taking shelter in their cabins. I would be as well but I saw Zeus enter the Big House. I'd go but I have a feeling if he and Poseidon are arguing, he probably doesn't want to see a relative of Poseidon. Figured I'd come get you."
"Let's go get the others. They'll probably want to be here for this. You want to round up Hallie and Derek and I'll get my brothers?" She suggested. Silena nodded in agreement. Luke took a hold of Bryn's hand to prevent her from getting soaked by the rain. Even though they only had to walk a few feet to get to Zeus's cabin, they were nearly blown away by the wind. Bryn could barely control it. Once inside, Bryn woke up her brothers. They grumbled something unintelligible but shot up into sitting position when their sister explained what was happening. Throwing shirts on (Bryn was pretty sure Brady's was backwards and Bradley's was inside out), they headed to the Big House; Derek, Hallie, and Silena met them halfway. Even over the howling wind and being twenty feet away, all seven demigods could hear the roaring voices of their divine relatives.
