Stupid Cupid

~Stupid Cupid - Chapter 8

    When I woke again, it was eight in the morning and time for breakfast. I lugged myself from my bunk and walked to the pavilion. I sat down at the Poseidon table and rest my head. I had a splitting headache.

“Oh, the headache after discovering your powers. Always a joy.” I lift my head and glare at Jason who just laughed.

“I liked you better when you didn’t exist.” I muttered only causing him to laugh harder.

“Jason! Leave her alone. Besides, you’re just trying to get over the fact that she’s more powerful than you.” Piper says and sticks her tongue out at him as she sits to the right of me.

“Thanks, Pipes. I thought you liked me.” Jason fakes a pout and sits down across from Piper.

"Oh, boo-hoo.” Leo says and throws a sausage link at Jason who catches it in his mouth.

“Thanks for the sausage, Leo.”

“Whatever.” Leo says and sits next to me. I lay my head down on his shoulder and close my eyes once more.

“Remember to keep it PG, Sky.” Percy says and I open my eyes to glare at him as he sits down across from me.

“You’re annoying.” I say and lift my head up only to have it fall back onto Leo.

"You okay?” Leo asks but I can hear the laughter.

“Your shoulder is comfy.” I reply.

“How can his shoulder be comfy? He’s skin and bone.” Jason asks and I shrug.

“Where am I going to put the Hermes cabin?” Annabeth asks herself as she sits down next to Percy.

“Huh?” I ask.

“She’s planning for Capture the Flag.” Everyone replies at once and I decide not to ask any further questions.

“Okay.” I say and grab a plate from a wood nymph.

“Annabeth, can you stop planning long enough to eat?” Percy asks but is ignored as Annabeth pulls out a miniature map of the woods.

“I’m guess she won’t be talking much.” I say and everyone nods.

“Annabeth, put half of the Hermes cabin on offence and the other half on defence.” I say as I take a bite of my pancakes. Annabeth looks up and then at the map and back at me.

"That could work.” She goes back to looking at the map and then puts it away.

"Done?” Percy asks.

“Thanks to Sky, I am.” She leans into Percy and begins to eat.

After a while of talking there’s a loud rumble. Everyone looks up confused except Percy. Weird.

“Barrier action?” Piper asks but Annabeth shakes her head.

"Couldn’t be.”

“Don’t worry. It’s just Mrs. O’Leary.” Percy replies and everyone calms down.

“Who’s Mrs. O’Leary?” I ask.

“She’s-” Percy’s interrupted by me gasping probably looking terrified. Running towards us was a giant dog like the one I saw back at school.

“Coming this way.” Annabeth replies but I’m standing in pure fear as the giant thing comes closer.

“Sky, calm down.” Leo says and tries to calm me down but I can’t take my eyes off the thing.
