Chapter Eight: Reunion

Marissa’s POV

“THAT IS NOT FAIR!” I yelled up at Leo who was winning at our race. He just continued to climb right through the lava. He yells back,

“It is fair because I’m just using my abilities to my advantage.” I on the other hand, was normal and the lava burned me so I had to maneuver around the lava. My clothes started smoking and Leo was a few feet away from the top.  I wish I had cool powers to cheat with. I hear a bell go off announcing that Leo won. I sigh and start to climb down. My hands are raw from scraping up against the rough rocks and I’m three fourths the way down when I hear someone yell something incomprehensible. I flip my head back so that I can see my mom walking towards me. Actually, she is walking with someone towards me. The someone has carmely hair and a small figure. I lose my grip on the wall when I realize who the someone is: Lexi. I fall the 3 yard drop and land on my back. The air is pushed from my lungs and I gasp for breath. I lay still with my eyes closed until they get to me. My mom gasps when she sees me, but Lexi decides to step on my stomach. It is not as hard enough to seriously injure me but still enough to make me gasp.  I curl up into a ball and yell,

“What the hell Lexi!”

“That was for ditching me yesterday!”

“Sorry I was attacked by a monster!”

“Well so was I!” I stop my yelling and get to my feet. Leo is sitting at the top of the rock climbing wall enjoying the show. When I get to my feet Lexi catches me in a hug and whispers, “Im glad you're here Ris.”

“Gods woman bipolar much.” I say jokingly. She laughs and I say, “Um Lex, why are you here?”

“Oh well, turns out my mom is a goddess.”

“Eh not surprising. My grandparents are gods.”

“Cool! So what do you do here?”

“Okay, how about we go to the lake, or we can go to your cabin, or we can go to the sword fighting arena, or-”

“Cabin? What cabin?” She cuts me off with a confused look.

“The cabin you share with all your half siblings.”

“I have half siblings?”

“Yeah! Who is your parent?”

“Iris” She responds.

“That is so perfect for you.” I say.

“I know right!” I start walking in the direction of the Iris cabin. Lexi follows me with her bag. The Iris cabin is a medium cabin nestled between the ever cheerful Hades cabin and the Hypnos cabin. It is a very happy cabin with clean white walls and prisms hanging from the ceiling. I lead Lexi to the door, which is painted with swirled rainbow colors, and knock. A short girl with black hair tipped in cherry red answers the door.

“Can I help you?” She asks while giving us wide eyed looks with her brown eyes.

“Um yes, this is Lexi Alvero, daughter of Iris.” I tell her while kinda shoving Lexi forward. The girl gives an excited smile and exclaims,

“Hallelujah! I have a sister finally! I’m Ruby by the way. Come on I will show you around!” Ruby then hooks us by the arm and drags us into the cabin. The floor is rainbow paneled wood with black and white walls. Ruby drags us to the middle of the room and announces. “Ok you can choose your bed and settle in. I’m going to hang with some friends. See you at dinner!”

“Thanks.” Lexi says. She walks over to a bed that looks unoccupied and plops her bag down.

“Can we go swimming now?” I ask.
