True Colors

chapter 11

"Hey Keira!" Annabeth said, putting her laptop aside.

"Hey Anna," Keira said, closing to cabin door. "Can I get some clothes so I can get freshened up for the fire tonight?"

"Sure!" Annabeth said. She goes to her closet and pulls out another small camp shirt with a pair of leggings.

She held then out for Keira to see. "This is good?"

Keira nodded, so, Annabeth hands them to her and Keira goes to the bathroom for a shower.

It wasn't until 7 minutes later, when she came out in her casual outfit and sandals.

"Thanks, Anna!" Keira said, giving her a hug.

Annabeth hugged her back. "No problem, and it's almost 8 o'clock, so we should head over to the fire now."

So Annabeth and Keira left the cabin and walked to the campfire site, where hundreds of Half-Bloods were already waiting.

As they reached the entrance, Annabeth whispered, "I have to go sit in the stands."

Keira looked at Annabeth. "But where will I go."

Annabeth pointed at Nico, who was standing, taking to Chiron, not far from where they were.

So, Keira made her way to Nico and poked him in the ribs.

Nico jerked back and turned around. "Oh is just you."

Keira shrugged. "Who else would it be?"

Nico didn't answer her question. Instead, he turned to Chiron and said, "I think we should start now."

Keira looked confused. Before she could protest, she was being pulled onto a stage in front of approximately 200-350 Half-Bloods staring at her.

It was so silent, you could hear the crickets chirping in the night.

Then Chiron spoke into the microphone, which startled everyone.

"Welcome, demigods of all kind, saytrs, nymphs, dryaids, and others of all sorts. May we please present the newest Half-Blood legislated to Zeus, Keira Brooklynn Grace." Nico helped her up on to the podium.

As Keira stood at the podium, the crowds went wild. Everyone clapped and cheered and within seconds, the Stoll brothers got the while crowd to chant, "KEIRA, KEIRA, KEIRA, KEIRA..." She even slottedHarley in the middle row of the stand. He looked confused, or like he didn't want to be there.

Finally, Keira picked up the microphone. "Hi everyone!" She said, waving. Some people waved back. "I'd like to thank you all for coming tonight, I feel really special. Um, hopefully I get to know all of you, and I really like it here, so yeah! Oh, and I'd also like to thank a couple of people who made it really good to be here."
