True Colors

Chapter 3

The Stoll brothers And Keira became good friends. The whole entire way to the Dining Hall, they were talking about pranks and explosives.

In a few minutes, they reached their destination, and walked in.

Everyone stared at Keira. So she became instantly quiet and shy.

Chiron broke the silence. "Campers, we have an new demigod, let's welcome her with such delight, shall we? And if you, young lady, are ready to speak your name?"

Keira looked up at Annabeth. She nodded and lightly squeezed her hand. So Keira took a deep breath and said, "My name is Keira Brooklinn Grace and my godly parentige is Zeus."

Everybody all reacted at once. Majority gasped. Percy fainted. Piper stated crying. And of course, Chiron knew all this. He knew all theinformation about Keira from the Saytrs. He held a meeting last night, and the only demigod that got to be there was Nico.

Nico stood up from the Apollo table. Keira saw him and her face lit up with joy. She said, "Nico!" As she ran towards him and hugged him.

He hugged her back, then let her go. Will looked at Nico and Keira. "I'm so confused."

Chiron sighed, "I'm pretty sure you are not the only one!"

Annabeth finally joined the Athena table, which happened to be next to the Apollo table.

Keira decided to sit across from Nico, which was closer to Annabeth because they were both at the edge of the table.

Everyone in the Dining Hall was chattingup a storm now. When Keira's food appeared before her, she looked questionly at it. Possibly wondering how that just happened.

Nico saw her sheep expression and stared laughing. Keira looked at him. "What?"

"Is just food Keira, you look like you've never seen it before" he said, as he sipped from his goblet.

She began eating, and it was long until she was full. She waited until people started leaving, before going off on her own to explore a bit.

Once She had gotten outside, it was bright and sunny. She wandered off towards the lake. When she reached the sand, She took off her flip-flops and ran her tiny feet along the crusty sand.

She stopped at a bench and looked at her surroundings.

"Are you lost?" A voice said from behind her.

She looked to see who it was, and in the short distance was Will Solace.

She walked towards him, staggering.

"I believe so," Keira said as she reached Will. "What's your name?"

"I'm Will Solace, soon of Apollo." Well announced proudly.

Keira smiled as if she was remembering something. "Wait I know you!"

Will looked confused. "You do?"

Keira nodded. "Nico told me about you, or at last mentioned you"

Will got all excited. "HE DID?!?" and before she could answer, he asked. "Wait, how exactly do you too meet?"

Keira thought about it as they walked. "Well, Nico protected me from the people when I was 5. But when he found out what I could do, he realised, he had to get me here as quickly as possible...." She stopped and stared ahead.

Will stopped too. "How old are you now?"

"I'm 8 years old." Keira said, as she winced. He feet were throbbing.
