Collision Course

Chapter Twenty Eight

The two weeks went by fast, and before I knew it, I was dreading leaving.

 Over the two week span, I had grown closer to Tempête, Collin, and Lewis. It felt good to have true friends again, although I missed Cole, and hopefully, one day, Chiron will let me tell the four of them, my now biggest secret. And then maybe I could tell Astoria, and Draco, but I bet they already know. 

  But now, telling my friends the truth about me, was my main wish in life. One of my many wishes. 

  Yet, many of my wishes I could actually make come true now- thanks to my new wizarding life style, and demigod training. I could finally do a hand stand, without worrying about my weak twig arms failing on me after too long.

  Chiron was starting to act a lot nicer to me, and he even helped me define a good outline of plans for my new life. I was grateful for his help- if I didn't have it I would be doomed.

  Chiron had even said that I didn't have to finish Hogwarts this year- I could complete the final two years of learning there! He said I'd spend the summer, this year, after the school year ends, here at Camp Half-Blood, and after that I'd be able to complete my last year there, while spending Christmas at Camp too. He said I could spend another year at Camp Half-Blood after the last year at Hogwarts, celebrate my eighteenth birthday, and then he would help me find my own path, either into the mortal-muggle world, or into the wizard world. He said there weren't a lot of demigods out in the real world... And I knew in the back of my mind, that it was rare for them to even last until their eighteenth birthdays.

  But, obviously, a demigod-wizards life could never be that predictable. #I'm_Foreshadowing.

  I was pulled as a horn sounded. It was already after supper, so that couldn't be the dinner horn.

  Adrenaline coursed through my veins as I realized what the horn was for.

  A smile tugged its way onto my make up caked face. Who would have known that fooling around in the ten tons of makeup from Aphrodite's Cabin would be so much fun? I certainly did now!

  But my other siblings were pretty horrified at my appearance. I guess I looked hideous. They were also pretty upset about the fact that I had used up about half of their precious makeup. I felt sooo bad.

  Just kidding.

  It had been so funny to see their surprised reactions, when they had come back to the cabin when I had finished. They were sooooo disgusted. I had told them I wanted to try putting on makeup, and they had been happy with me, and then, magically, when I told them all to leave, so I could do my makeup by myself, they did. And they went, and took my suggestion, and did physical activity. They actually exercised. That's magic right?

  As I walked out of the cabin, I trailed behind my half siblings, and they hurried ahead, not wanting to be seen with me. I let my hair veil my face as we walked, keeping my 'beautiful' face a surprise. I stuffed my laughter back into my throat. I couldn't wait to show my new friends!

  Lewis, Collin, and Tempête would 'love' it. Foudre- who's not my friend- would just snicker, or back away scared. I was hoping for the later reactions, but happily expecting the first.

  I followed the flow, and stopped at the edge of the crowd surrounding Chiron. I saw a familiar face walking over. It was Lewis!

  "Hey, Tira," he said from about two yards away. I fiddled with a gauntlet on my wrist after a small wave.

  He walked over, and stood beside me. "What's up?"

  "Olympus?"

  "Well, duh. What’s going on for you?"
