The Daughter of Aries: A Percy Jackson Fanfiction

Shopping Mischief

 Chapter 10: Shopping Mischief

The Alarm clock buzzed, I slammed on the snooze and turned away from my clock. I was only just starting to fall asleep again when the Alarm went off yet again. I sat up, turned it off then stretched. Haling myself off the bed I walked to my mirror hanging on the door. I looked terrifying. My hair was a brown and red rat’s nest, I had circles under my eyes, and I’m pretty sure I stank. i pulled a robe over myself and started making my way out of our cabin.

The Aries cabin is much bigger than it looks from the outside because most of its underground. There were about 20 small rooms total, plus a nice living room set up complete with a TV, speakers and a stereo. I started asking about how they got it all in here and all they gave me was a name: Connor Stole. Apparently if you wanted any ‘illegal’ items when your camp he’s your guy. He had everything From Cell phones and boom boxes to Furniture and clothes. I’m planning on visiting him today, since I’ve run out of clothes. I might get some other stuff who knows?

I walked out the door making sure not to set off any mines and started trudging through the wet grass.  I looked on either side of me. It was dark and I couldn’t see a thing. I took a deep breath walking towards the structure in front of me when I got there I turned on the flash light happy to see I was in the right place. I walked into the girls section and jumped into the first shower I saw. I let the warm water run over me for a minuet helping me clear my head. Unfortunately I couldn’t take a long shower because I knew Logan was waiting for me. How dare he ruin my shower?

Sighing I turned off the water and got out wrapping the towel around my torso. I walked to the sinks where I had put my shower bag reaching in, I grabbed my comb and started going through my hair. I nearly jumped out of my skin and saw a figure standing behind me through the mirror. I grabbed my knife and allowed it to lengthen into a sword. The person walked forward slowly and into the dim light of the bathroom. Sighing in relief when I saw it wasn’t Jack the Ripper.  “You should be more careful it was way too easy to sneak up on you.”

I glared at him and continued combing through my tangled hair. “It’s 4 in the morning and I’m exhausted, stop being such a jerk.”

He moved next to me and leaned against the counter. “You’re supposed to be training, not showering. I understand they sound similar but you really need to know the difference.” I turned, having thoughts about throwing my knife through his skull but then I saw him smirk. He was trying to annoy me. It was best to ignore him so I just kept combing my hair. “Aren’t you wondering why I’m here?”

“Because you’re a deranged Psychopath who had nothing better to do with his time then to watch innocent girls shower?” I said smugly. He chuckled to himself and crossed his arms over his chest.

“Firstly I’m not deranged only a Psychopath and second you’re not that innocent.” I ignored what he was implying.

“Could you leave I need to change.” He seemed annoyed but did as I asked. I tugged on my green tank top and sweats, clipped on my belt, tied my hair in a pony and walked out the door. We walked in silence to the arena. When we walked through the gate we both started warming up. I finished my ten pushups and sit ups and stood up.

“You ready.” He asked and I nodded. We both unsheathed our weapons, and began circling each other. He had a long black sword that looked sharp enough to cut anything and I had both my knifes out not yet in sword form. “Anytime now Mia.” He said that stupid smug look on his face. Did he think I was afraid?

“Ladies first Logan.” I said sweetly. His eyebrows scrunched together in irritation but he didn’t attack me.

“Very Mature.” I simply smiled. Suddenly he ran towards me giving me barely enough time to block. I shoved him off, then lengthened my knives to swords and attacked him. He blocked my blows but he was rushed and it was sloppy. Using this to my advantage I ducked down and swiped his legs out from under him. When he hit the ground, I put my Knee on his chest and put my knife at his throat.
