After the whole fight (if you could even call it that, seeing how one-sided it was.) with the fur ball and the one-eyed monster, I thought I'd get a bit of break before another encounter with anything 'that' strange.
I guess I spoke (thought?) a little too soon, as the next thing I'd remembered I was face to face with a blonde, surfer-like guy. That on itself wasn't too weird, the thousand eyes though... That I'll admit was kinda freaky, so much that I may have fainted. (though if anyone asks, I was just 'really' tired.)
After that, it wasn't too bad. I saw a few kids here and there, a blonde boy and another girl, olive skin and dark brown hair. She spoke a few times, I recognised her voice as the girl from before. Though, every time she spoke it always seemed to be accompanied by another voice. A soft, small voice. A voice that I could hardly hear, but it always asked questions to the girl and never spoke in full sentences. But the girl never seemed to enjoy the voice, I guess. As whenever it spoke, she'd just tell it to 'shut your mouth, you stupid, bumbling idiot'.
When I woke up the next time, I was alone. I tried to stand up, but I felt my knees turning into a combination of both spaghetti and jelly. Next thing I knew a boy came bursting into the room. He had sun-kissed skin and bright, baby-blue eyes that looked really nice along with his honey-blonde, neck length, wavy hair. He was huffing and puffing as if he'd just ran a marathon and he looked exhausted.
"Haah...Haaah. I swear... Could the Ares cabin could be a bit less...'Ares cabin' for once? There's enough hurt kids here to fill an entire hospital...Or ten." At first, he didn't seem to notice me. So I let out a cough, he whipped his head to me.
"Oh, finally! Nice of you to bless me with your presence. Y'know, you've made quite a name for yourself already, defeated a cyclops AND a hellhound. 'Might even be better than Percy." The kid said.
"Um...Sorry, but... Who exactly are you?" I paused for a second before asking something again, "Oh, and where am I?" The boy let out a sigh, "Phew, for a second I thought you'd have amnesia. Well anyway, I'm Alistair, apart of the Apollo cabin. And you're now a camper here at Camp Half-Blood. You're really lucky, if Gabbie had came any later you'd be cyclops chow. Oh, yeah. Sorry, heard 'bout what happened to your dad. But Camp'll be your new home, trust me you'll be really happy here."
Camp Half-Blood? Oh yeah! Grover told me about him, though at the time I was still trying to cope with the fact that I was a demigod. "Oh." Brilliant response me. "I'm Damien." He just nodded, "Chiron'll want to see you, you should go." He said, then sighed. "Well, better go treat the kids from the Aphrodite and Ares' cabins. It was nice meeting you, Damien!" He called out before rushing out of the room.
I tried getting up again, this time it was much more easier. As I finally got out of the room I was face to face with another person. It was the girl, she was a lot more clearer. She had olive skin, hazel eyes and frizzy, chocolate brown hair that was in two pigtails. Her eyes widened at the sight of me and stepped back slightly.
"O-Oh hey! I was just gonna' check up on you. Well anyway...My name's Gabbie." Gabbie told me."I'm-" "Damien Veridian, cyclops and hellhound slayer. Grover wouldn't stop talking about you, everyone at camp knows about you. You've made camp way more... Optimistic, I thought no one would ever be happy again since the whole Annabeth and the hunters thing." She winced a bit at that.
"Well anyway, I'll be showing you around the camp, then I'll introduce you to Chiron and Mr. D. Maybe we can come across some other campers along the way, I bet everyone will want to meet you." Gabbie told me. Everyone wants to see me? I don't know why but the idea didn't sound so appealing to me. I've never been in the spotlight too often and I've sometimes tried hard to prevent it, seeing as whenever I do it always gets me into trouble. (Teachers or students? It doesn't really matter.)
I must've looked quite worried as the next thing I knew Gabbie was stuttering, twiddling her fingers and seemed strangely interested in the floor. "I m-mean...Th-they w-won't- Uh...S-sorry. I've been described by many...as...blunt." She stuttered. "Well, let's get going before I decide to start burying myself." Gabbie said smiling with her face as red as the strawberries that I saw when Grover was dragging me here.
"Well...Let's get going!"
A/N:I know my writing style is a lot different compared to before, it's just that I'm using my laptop now, when I've been using my phone before this. Thanks for reading!
