Stupid Cupid

~Stupid Cupid - Chapter 4

        I laugh lightly as Leo runs off and turn to the door in front of me. Taking a deep breath I raise my hand to knock but the door opens revealing a man with a beard and pudgy belly wearing a colourful Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and bright purple running shoes.

"What do you want?" he asks rather rudely.

"I want to talk to Chiron. I'm a new camper here." I reply sassily. Who does he think he is?

"Who do I think I am? I'm Dionysus, god of wine and insanity. Ever speak to me in such a disrespectful tone again and I'll turn you into a grape vine." His eyes glow with a purple fire and I see people going insane drinking wine and children being killed by vines.

I walk past him and enter the room where a man in a wheelchair sits looking over papers. He has curly brown hair, chocolate eyes and a warm smile.

"Hello, child. You must be new. Come and sit," he says warmly. I smile at him and take a seat across from him.

"What's your name?" he asks.

"I'm Skylar Rey Coast. You can call me Sky though. I'm fourteen."

"Do you know who your godly parent is?"

"Well, no. All my mother said was that they met at the beach."

"Well, most of the time, demigods are claimed by the time they turn thirteen or within a week of being at camp, so, no worries."

"Okay, great."

"I assume that Percy and Annabeth have told you about camp and shown you around."

"Um, they told me about camp and Leo Valdez is going to show me around."

"Alright. I hate to keep Leo waiting. It was nice meeting you, Skylar."

With that, I walk out of the house and find Leo waiting for me.

"You didn't have to wait."

"I wanted to." I blush slightly.

"Did I make someone blush?" Leo teases.

"I blush easily, that's all."

"Okay, sure."

Leo shows me the training arena and climbing wall, the lake, and the Mess Hall. We're on our way to the cabins now. I saw twelve cabins in a 'U' shape and several others around it but they were slightly smaller.

"The two at the top are Zeus and Hera's. Hera's is empty and the only one that stays in Zeus' is-"

"Jason. I thought he was a son of Jupiter. Why isn't he at the Roman camp?"

"Jason likes the Greek camp better and Piper and I are here. Piper's his girlfriend and I'm his best friend. Super - sized McShizzle."

"Cool. I'm guessing cabin three is Poseidon's." I ignore his weird nickname that was probably given to by himself.

"Yeah and over there is Demeter's, Ares', Apollo's, Athena's, Aphrodite's, Hermes', Hephaestus'- which is my cabin - Dionysus', and Artemis' but it's always empty except when the Hunters of Artemis come around. The slightly smaller ones are for the minor gods like Eros, Iris, Nemesis, and so on." Leo said as he pointed to the each cabin.

"What about that one?" I ask and point to a black cabin.

"That's the Hades cabin. Nico stays there. It's cabin thirteen."

"That's awesome!"

"What?"

"I love how it's nice and dark. Probably really quiet, too. Seems to suit Nico just fine, really. He must like it."
