The Story of Riley Jackson

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The scenery was unbelievable! Kids in orange t-shirts like mine were fighting with weapons, talking, riding horses with wings (I so want to do that!), climbing a rock climbing wall that exploded lava every few minutes.

"Can I climb the wall later?" I asked.

"You're not prepared. You'll get burnt." Percy said.

"That - that's not real, is it?"

"100% real."

"Oh. Never mind." We turn away from the activities and head the opposite way. "Woah," I said in awe. There were at least 30 cabins, no 2 were alike.

"These are where the demi-gods sleep, their godly parent determines which cabin they belong to." Percy says, pointing to one cabin and saying, "The big and bulky one is Zeus, Jason stays there sometimes when he visits, like now. And whenever the huntresses are over, their leader, Thalia, Jason's sister, sleeps there while the huntresses sleep there, in the cabin of Artemis," He pointed to another cabin, this one silvery and night like.

"It's empty now, why?"

"Artemis vowed to never like boys and have kids, that's why. The huntresses are her followers."

"Oh, cool."

"You planning to join?"

"You kidding? I would die if I couldn't like hot guys!"

"Ah ha, name a few that you think are "cute" and I'll tell you what they really are."

"Well, there is Niall, Zayn, Louis, Harry, and Liam from One Direction. Luke, Ashton, Calum, and Michael from 5 Seconds if Summer. There's Cody Simpson, Hunter Hayes. Brandon, Sam, Conrad, Sebastian and many more guys from all of the other schools I attended."

"Lucky you, I don't know any and you passed the test of not being able to be a huntress! Yea!"

"Uh, thanks, I guess?" I laughed a tiny laugh at how weird it was to tell my brother most of my crushes.

"Anyway, the white one next to Zeus's cabin is Hera's. She is the-"

"Goddess of marriage, married to Zeus, therefore she can't/doesn't want to have kids."

"Uh, yea, pretty much. The one across from the Artemis cabin is the Apollo cabin." I could here music playing through the open doors and windows. A medical cross was painted on the door.

"I remember Kara said that he's her father."

"Yea. And the one over there, the one with an owl on the door is the Athena cabin. Annabeth lives there."

"Are you and Annabeth, uh, together?"

"You mean dating? Yea, for almost a year now."

"Oh, cool."

"And the one cabin you should stay away from is the Ares cabin."

"Let me guess, the one with the boar head, barbed wire, and weapons outside it? And is that blood?"

"Uh yes and yes. Beware. No one told me to stay clear and I made the bathroom explode. Long story."

"Aha. Where's our cabin?"

"The one nearest to he lake. You could say it's on the lake, I guess."

"That one?" I asked, pointing to the one made from what I think I know is from ocean stone. "The one with fishing nets and other cool stuff?"

"Yup." Percy said, walking towards the cabin.

Percy opened the door and a strong smell of the sea greeted me as I walked inside.
