Why Not? // Percy Jackson

Chapter 2 - You just got your ass kicked, Annabeth.

Piper wanted to show me around camp, so she did. Let me just say, I love this place. She said she was taking me down to my cabin now, and she was showing me all the cabins as we go.

"And that's my Cabin." She sighs. "Smells like a perfume factory, I swear."

I laugh. "This place is awesome."

"I know, right?"

We walk for a bit, talking like we've been best friends all our lives. We stop at a beautiful cabin. It looks like a Greek Pavillon, but with wind chimes, bottles with lights in them, lanterns, weird-looking potted flowers, fairy lights, and just this aura that drags me towards the cabin. I look up at it in awe. "Wow."

"Yeah. This is probably my favourite Cabin." Piper says. "It's gorgeous. Well, I'll let you settle in. See you around!!" She gives me a hug and walks off to her Cabin. I look up in at my Cabin and I walk through the door. Clay sat on a couch, listening to his iPod. I walk over behind him and I yank out his earphones. He jumps and turns around. "Aria!"

I laugh. He gets up. "Come on, I'll show you your room."

Clay gets up and I follow him. We reach a room and he opens the door.

I just stand there in the doorway. Amazed.

"I'll let you get settled, Hayley put some clothes in your closet for you. She'll come see you in a second. Welcome, little sis." Clay says. Then he comes back a second later. "By the way, your the second eldest. I'm the eldest, obviously."

I just nod. This place is amazing.

I run in and jump on my bed. I hear a knock on my door and three demigods stood there, smiling at me. They all had brown hair and brown eyes that have a purple tint to it. Like mine. A girl maybe a year younger than me runs up to me and gives me a hug. "Oh my gods." She pulls away and cups my face. "Your so beautiful. I'm Hayley."

I smile. "Aw, your so sweet. So are you!"

A younger girl, maybe 6 or 7 comes up and hugs my leg. "Hi."

"Hey gorgeous." I smile. "What's your name?"

"Sarah." She smiles. She's adorable.

A guy that looks just like Hayley comes up and hugs me. "Hey, Aria! I'm Harry."

I smile. Then look at Hayley and Harry.

"Yes." Hayley sighs. "We're twins."

I nod. "So. How does this place work? Cause I have no clue what so ever."

"So basically, Clay is our Cabin councillor. He runs it. He da man. He works out what's going to happen with the cabin, with the help of us of course. He never does anything without our consent. You can go train, eat, just hang out with friends, but either way, you going to wake up every day smarter and stronger." Hayley says.

"Yeah." Sarah says. "Especially me. Percy has been helping me with my sword fighting!"

I smile. Cute.

"Speaking of," Clay says. He's standing in the door frame. "Capture the flag is in two days. I think we should get you training. Come on, let's go to the arena."

We walk through the arena doors. Percy and a guy I don't know are sword fighting. Percy is kicking his ass. A centaur, half man, half horse is watching. He looks middle-aged on the top, then a brilliant white stallion on his bottom half.

"Thats Chiron." Sarah says. "Hi Chiron!"

He looks over and smiles at Sarah. "Hello my little demigod. Ah. You must be Aria. Daughter of Hecate, right? Percy told me about you."

I smile. "He did?" Then I look at Percy who is listening and blushing. When I look at him, he quickly looks away. I look back at Chiron. "Yeah I'm Aria."

"Well, welcome to Camp Half-Blood, my dear."

I smile. I join my siblings and Clay helps me get my armour on.

"Okay." Clay says. "You ready?"

"No." I say. "Don't have anything to fight with."

"Yes you do." Clay hands me his sword. "Just use this for the time being. Until we get you a weapon."

I smile at him. "Thanks Clay."

I step up into the small arena. Annabeth stood on the other side. "Don't worry, I'll go easy."

Percy snorts. "Yeah cause that's what you did to me on my first day. 'Go easy.'"

"Yeah, but I actually like her, Jackson." Annabeth says back. "Ready, Aria."

I take a breath. "Ready."

Annabeth swings at me. I block it. She swings again, I block it. I swing at her, she blocks it and our swords makes that blood curdling sound like nails on a chalkboard. She tried to hit me and I roll out of the way and quickly stand up, swinging at her. "I don't want you to go wash on me."

She blocks. "You sure?"

She swings at me and I dodge. "Sure."

She listens and goes all out. Swinging the sword at me hard, but I block it. I hit her sword as hard as I can and it flys out of her hand just as she was going to hit me. I roll, grabbing her sword, standing up and putting her sword behind her neck and Clay's one close to her throat.

Everyone goes. "Ooh."

Percy laughs. "You just got your ass kicked, Annabeth."

I say to Annabeth, "I told you to not go easy on me."

She's shocked and wide eyed. "I didn't."
