Camp Half Blood

Chapter 8

You probably don't know half of what happened that night. Neither did I.

'Where were you last night?' Ciara asked me while she was folding her clean bed sheets.

'Nowhere' said I, avoiding eye contact.

'Seriously' she said 'I know you were somewhere. I saw you coming back around five o'clock. Five A.M.'

'Weren't you sleeping then?' I tried to change the subject as much as I could. I didn't want anyone to find out about me and Carter. Not even my best friend.

'I just couldn't sleep. I've been having some really bad nightmares lately. Demigod stuff'

I looked around. Everyone from the Hermes cabin was leaving.

'I think we have a breakfast to attend, shall we?' I tried to sound as sophisticated as possible.

Ciara started laughing.

On our way to the Dining Pavillion I saw a lot of campers sharing flyers or simply hanging them on all walls.

'Can I have one?' Ciara asked when she saw me staring. 

'Sure'  someone said 'Here!' she gave us two flyers.

The word "Missing" was written with big bold letters above a picture of a black-haired girl.

"Sophia Roy, daughter of Poseidon, was last seen on the evening of the 24th of June at the Dining Pavillon. If you have any information about this person come as soon as possible at The Big House. Thank you."

'Missing, huh? She's the first one since that Ares girl some years ago. I don't know many things about her, but I know she never returned.' Ciara said, raising her eyebrow.

'This seriously gives me goosebumps' I whispered.

'Scarry things always happen here. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood!'

I heard someone knock at the door.

'I'll get it' I shouted, when I saw some Apollo kids letting their books down.

'Brooklyn?' Wyatt Hoo was sitting on the doorstep, waiting. He looked like he ran all the way here.

'We need to talk. It's about Sophia.'

Yes. This is really short. I know. But I'll post a new chapter pretty soon. I promise.
