The Prophecy of Four

Chapter Eight

Heyo! So since I haven't updated in, like, forever, I'm gona give you more chapters today. :3 Enjoy

<Sam's POV>

I walk into the Hermes cabin twenty minutes before curfew. It takes me a minute, but eventually I realize.

Frozen is playing on a small TV at the back of the cabin. I can hear Let It Go playing.

"I didn't know they had a TV," I say to myself. I drop my bag (pranking supplies for the Stolls) on the floor and head to the back of the cabin.

Then I realize why the movie is playing. Morgan and that kid form earlier-Bane, did he say?- are asleep on the bottom bunk. Morgan is draped across his chest, and her arms are around his neck. I drop all pretense and find (read; steal) a camera.

Five minutes later, I have filled the memory card of Travis's camera. Morgan chooses this moment to wake up. She flutters her eyes open, blinks, yawns, and realizes where she is. Oh yeah! All over her boyfriend!

Her cheeks are bright red as she sits up and sees me. 

"Hi, Sam," she says guiltily, and then "Hey! Give me that!" as she sees the camera in my hand. 

She swipes for it, but I pull it back, put of her reach. "Missed me," I say smugly.

She glares at me with the fury of a thousand vipers. "Give it," she spits, like the words are poison. 

"Nah," I mutter.

She actually lunges for me, knocking Bane off the bed. He hits the floor with a thud. Morgan looks back worriedly, so I take the opportunity to scamper to the door. 

"Hey!" Morgan shouts. "No fair! Get back here, Dee!"

"It's perfectly fair!" I yell as I run out of the cabin.

I can hear the Harpies, probably looking for a meal of yummy demigod, and I'm pretty sure Morgan will be after me soon enough, so I duck into a nearby cabin to hide. 

It's only when I hear a slightly irritated "What are you doing in here?" I realize which cabin.

Oh yeah. The Hades cabin.

Again.

Only this time, I can see a little bit better. There's a  fire in the fireplace. But it's green. Wait a minute, I think. Why doesn't my cabin have a fireplace? And then I remember, Oh, yeah, it did, and that's the reason  I'm staying in the Hermes cabin. Herpaderp.

"Hey, you," a boy's voice says. I turn, and see a familiar looking boy.

"I have a name, you know," I say, glaring at him.

"I know."

"So why don't you use it?"

"I don't know it." 

Oh. "I... What's yours? I'm Sam."

"Oh." Realization dawns on his face. "You- you're that girl. The trespasser."

"And you're that guy. The... goth."

"I'm not goth. Or emo."

"Yes you are."

He glares at me. "So, why are you in my cabin?" he asks eventually. "Again?"

"Because..." I debate saying 'Because I can', but decide to tell the truth. "I have evidence I can use against my friend, Morgan."

His face is suddenly guarded. "Morgan- dark hair? Glow in the dark eyes?"

"Yeah," I say. "About 5' 10"?"

"Sure," he says. "If you want to be specific."

"Right. Anyways, I got some dirt."

"Cool." He doesn't smile. 

"You're Nico, right?"

"Yes. Anyway, I'm going to have to-" He grabs the camera from my hands and tosses it behind him. 

"Hey!" I protest. I glare at him. "What was that for?"

"Morgan's my frind, too. I'm not going to let you blackmail her."

"You're no fun," I grumble.

He turns and picks up the camera from the bunk behind him. He turns it on.

Nico's face turns red after a minute of looking throught the photos. "What?" he says.

"Yeah, they fell asleep watching Frozen," I mutter. "Funny, isn't it?"

"More like socially awkward," he says, looking back at me with dark blueish eyes. I fidget.

"I guess you have a point," I reply.
