living the camp life

ch 5 levitation

Storms POV

He took me to the infirmary, Will was there and Jason told him why we were there, i winked at him and gave him a fake 'pain' sound. It looked as if he got the message and Jason set me onto the cot we were next to. Will pretended to discipline me for using my powers, i pretended i was light headed and that my powers were going haywire. "ugh....guys i can't see straight....i feel dizzy." every thing in the room started levitating, i threw a brick at Jason's head, not very hard but hard enough for him to notice. "Oww, why is it always bricks?" that was it, i couldn't hold it in, i just started laughing so hard that my powers actually did go haywire. I started levitating myself over the cot, not that i noticed i was laughing to hard. "Whats going on? What's so funny?" "listen Jason, she's laughing because there's nothing wrong with her. She's different, she can't really drain her power as far as we can tell, we actually want her to keep practicing her powers to see her limit. Oh, and nice job Storm! Your levitating!" i looked up and noticed he was right, i was about three feet over the cot, not much but pretty good for my first time. I tried to turn around so that i wasn't laying down but sitting, and i did it like id done it a thousand times. Jason looked confused, "wait, she can levitate other objects but this is the first time she ever levitated herself?" "successfully, yes." Jason looked shocked, "ok storm," will said calmly, "can you come back down for a minute i want to make sure you can land without hazard." will said calmly. I gulp, and extend my legs so that my feet are only a foot from the ground, and i will myself to go down, my feet touch the ground and i suddenly feel my weight again. I give the boys a smile to indicate that i have landed, i have to look up because i am actually one of the smaller demigods, i'm about 5'2 which in this case is pretty small. Will gives me a high five and jason gives me a hug, will then says he wants me to continue levitating myself for practice, see how high i can go, how fast i can go, how much weight i can cary, etc. 

Jason and i walk out of the infirmary, well i say walk, i was about a foot off the ground keeping up with Jason. Everyone looked at me, some people looked happy for me, and others looked at me like i was from the moon. I hovered like that for the rest of the day, during my classes i say at the back in the room five feet in the air like i was meditating or something.

When i went to bed i could have sworn i landed in the bed but when i woke up i was levitating in Jason's room, he was backed up against the wall. "Uh, storm? Are you ok?" "huh? How did i get here, i was not levitating when i want to sleep." "it looks like you were sleep levitating, we should tell Will. this is definitely something to note, alright land and i'll take you to the infirmary." Jason says, a sliver of worry in his voice. I allow myself to go down but it doesn't happen. "uh , Jason, i can't land." i say trying not to panic. He started to worry, "what do you mean you can't land?"
