!Rewriten!
I seen fog, darkness, but it wasn’t night, no if it was night I would feel at ease, I always felt good at night. Relaxing, my dad told my last night about Greek myths, yes he told me, his nine year old daughter that she was half Greek god. He had been drinking that night to so I figured he was just crazy, he never had anything to do with me, I was just, Here. He slept through the day and was up at night. He name is Dreke Fiser. I was done with him, I couldn’t take it, and I’m glad I left, for I found the best place in the world for me.
I was dreaming, it was a full moon the clear night, and I was at peace. But something about this darkness was unnerving, scary even. And I was never fearful of the night. I seen a shimmer and a women stepped out, she was wearing, dark jeans and a gray tee. Weird. “Colby” I stared at the women, she looked kinda like me, she had dark black, curly hair, dark green eyes and fair skin. “..uh” she smirked and walked closer, “My daughter, your father was right about the gods, there real, your real, you must go any where but west. I will guide you” She waved her hands around and handed me something, “This is Nightdancer, a sword that will only respond to you” I took the object and noticed it was a pocket knife with two sides, I flipped the bottom half and a two inch steel knife popped out, I pushed it in and flipped the other end, it popped into a sword, four feet long, and beautiful. A leather grip and three dark diamonds studded into it, but what I noticed was that it didn’t weigh much, “goodbye” I looked up to see the women fading away. “wait!” but it was to late, she was gone and I woke up in my bunk, night, great. I was leaving, I took out a note and wrote on a piece of paper.
Daer dad,
I’m leaving. Bye
Love, Colby Jayde
My dyslexia didn’t allow me to write very long letters. I got my school back pack and dumped out everything expect my note book and a few pencils. A through some clothes in and put on a pair of jeans and a tee shirt and a jacket. I placed the note on my bed and put on my boots, neon orange baseball cap, and leather belt. running down stairs a made a turn a went to the safe and pulled out a few handfuls of cash and threw it in my bag, a stunk out the door knowing my dad would be awake, doing something, in his room.
The night always give me a new feeling, I never knew why. The night was claming. The next day I was hungry so a stopped by a subway to get a sandwich when this kid started walking towards me with their eyes closed and nose in the air. She had long blue jeans on, high tops and hot pink baseball cap. She stopped in front of me. “hum… would you mind” I told her quickly, I’m sorry but I hadn’t had anything to eat yet or any sleep. I wasn’t going to be little miss sunshine. The girl opened her eyes and looked at me and grabbed my arm, dragging me and my sub away. I was about to yell and scream, when I remembered something. I checked my belt and sure enough there was a steel pocket knife on it. I pulled it out a pointed towards the girl, who now looked about 15 and was limping. “who are you” I asked the girl, she looked at me, “Caylin” “K Lon” I tried saying her name “No Cay Liyn” “Let go of me” I said she let go and asked me the weirdest question, “Why do you have the lost sword?” “What?” she looked terrified, she muttered “Not good, a mortal, with THE lost sword” I pulled out the pocket knife side and pointed it at Caylin, we were behind a dumpster now, my uneaten sandwich still in my hand. “I’m hungry, your talking non sense and I’m tried”. Her mouth hung open and took the pleasure of sitting down, pushing my knife back in and eating my cold sub.
“do you know anything about to Greek myths” she asked me randomly after sitting down herself,
“Yes” I said quickly, this shocked her a bit too.
“Have you ever seen anything, umm…. Weird” she asked again,
“Yes,” thinking about it, I have seen weird things, “I’ve seen a horse with a human body, one day, painted with bright colors, A guy with one eye, and the ugliest seal, dog mixed thing EVER!”
She looked at my like I was crazy, then asked me another weird question, “will you open your knife” she was asking for it. I opened Nightdancer’s sword end four feet of bronze sprang out.
“I wonder” Caylin reached out and grabbed the sword. I let her take it. Her arm flew down towards the ground, the weight of the sword dragging her down,
“What’s wrong”
Caylin laughed “nothing, it’s true, the lost sword isn’t lost, it’s for you.”
After that we left off, Caylin told me she was satyr sent out to find Demigods, which I was, but she also told me she had a very bad sense of direction and all she knew was that we were heading north, oh joy. In a few days we were in new jersey,
“I’m glad I stole that money, I like walking, but not enough to walk from Mississippi to New York!” I told Caylin as we made are way to a County fair, she turned like a dime and took of running through the crowd, her limp barely slowing her down. “wait” I took of after her.
She stopped at a fruit stand, I walked off towards a strawberry stand. I saw a guy sitting there his head threw back, snoring. “humph” I muttered as I reached over to wake him, the he jumped up, a sword threw in the air, it left a cut on one of my fingers and he looked shocked,
“Your…. You’re a-”
“A demigod, I knew that, what did you do that for!” I screamed the last part at him, he cringed a bit then stood up, He was tall, lean, had light brown hair, and blue eyes. Maybe 13.
“Caylin” I called over to the fruit stand, in moments she was standing beside me, talking to mean dude.
“Treston!, you cut her, why” I thought Caylin was about to faint. My ADHD wondered and I was thinking that maybe she was part fainting goat.
“Clam down Caylin, She’s fine” he tried soothing her
“Tristan’s right-”
“TresTON”
“whatever, he’s right, I’m fine” I showed her the tiny cut on my finger that has stopped bleeding. Treston was glaring at me. Haha.
“ok” she said, “lets get to camp” And by the end of the day I was sitting in the big house Chiron, in horse form was sitting (or standing) there looking at me, “I’m not sure who she belongs to” I felt like saying, I don’t belong to any one!, but I keep my mouth shut like the good girl I am, ok trying to be. “We will talk more tomorrow, Treston, please take her to the Hermes cabin,
Treston sighed and walked my over the Hermes cabin, after wards he left. I stuck my tongue out at him as he walked over to the last cabin a expected, the Zeus cabin.
“Hey!, you must be…. Um… Cailey?”
“Colby” I said gently, he was close. He was tall, sandy brown hair and pale blue eyes, he looked kind of like an over grown elf.
“Yes, Colby, I see you met Treston, he not the nicest guy here-”
“But I am!” he was cut off by a kid walking past the cabin, he had stopped by the door and was leaning against the frame. “And I’m the coolest, hottest” He smirked at that like it was a inside joke “and don’t forget-”
This time a girl cut him off, “The most self centered” The boy had Dark blonde/ brown hair, blue eyes and the girl had light brown hair and the brightest blue eyes ever.
“Well Destiny, I Am the best!” with that he smirked at me, I walked over to him and whispered in his ear, He flushed light pink and started to walk backwards
“W…well I got to…. Uh… go!” He tripped over the wood base on the porch and fells backwards in the dirt, blushed more and took off towards the Apollo cabin, goodie.
Destiny looked at me crazy then asked, “what did you tell him”
“That he had a note typed on his back”
She looked him over carefully, “no he doesn’t”
I smirked, “I know” She walked over to the Zeus cabin like Treston, how are they anything kin!
The Hermes guy had a amused looked and lead me inside to a bunk, their wasn’t but two other people in the cabin, the other a little girl with Red hair and blue eyes.
Later that night I snuck out of the cabin and walked around, I found a lake
_________________________________________________
The next day at breakfast I sat with the small Hermes table, They explained the fire offering and a picked a hand full of fresh grapes, and a piece of wheat bread. I threw in some fat grapes and muttered. “Who ever my mom is, please tell me” It got quiet and about 15 pairs of eyes were on me. I looked up, and above me was a flouting symbol of Nyx, When you have ADHD a something flouting over your head can really distracted you, so when I turned back towards the table, after my mark had faded and Chiron was standing behind me, of course I was scared for moment.
“it is official, Colby is a daughter of Nyx, goddess of night” He finished and pointed my too a table with a boy about 12 was sitting. He looked happy, but didn’t say anything. I had one word for this moment. Awkward.
“Hey” I said when I sat down.
“Guess this means you’re my new sister” He replied
“Yep” that was the end of our conversation.
After breakfast I went to the Hermes cabin and got my bag and moved it to my new cabin, I walked to the sword fighting area. Just my luck, when I got there their was Destiny, Treston, and the Apollo kid.
Destiny was spearing with Apollo dude, Her Light brown hair flopping around like Chiron’s tail. He dodged out of her way, I swear a smirk was plastered to his face. He stabbed at her and she swatted his sword down like a fly with her sword.
“Take that!” Destiny shouted as she pushed her sword to his the hollow of his neck.
He looked over at me, and started walking towards me, he reached out his hand, “I’m Arron Eli Andrews”
“Colby Jayde” I replied as I shook his hand I walked over too Destiny, “You and Treston are nothing alike, why” I asked bluntly
“Different way we were raised, different parents.”
“Oh” with that I walked over to Treston and sat down beside him, he fiddling with a brass looking ring, with a eagle on it.
“What’s that” I said looking over his shoulder,
“Timekeeper”
“Oh, ok that clears everything up” I said
He looked up at me, a sad glare, “You don’t have to be so snappish about it”
I Looked up and spoke clearly, “You don’t have to be so rude” I seen look of shock on his face then it disappeared quickly, He stood up and made a motion like he was about to throw the ring then it turned into a long spear with talons on the end, he looked at the end and yellow sparks flew out of it.
“cool, But mines weightless and a pocket knife” I said getting up and opening Nightdancer’s sword. He gaped at the sword, until I closed it.
“Well bye, Treston” I said as a got up and walked to the lake.
…{4 years later}
It was about ten o’clock and I was sitting peacefully by the pair when to familiar shapes burst out, “Andrews, I will throw you to a hellhound if you don’t GIVE. IT. BACK.
“Na uh” 14 year old Arron said running to the lake, he seen me sitting in the shadows, “Hide this” he said then picked up a rock and took off running right before Destiny popped out of the bushes. Chasing the Blonde haired boy to the end of the lake, he put his hand over the lake and dropped the rock, which Destiny must of thought was the necklace that I was holding in my hand.
Destiny ran to the end and looked over the water, Arron did the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen him do, he pushed an all ready mad Destiny into the cold lake, she threw her hands quickly in the air and grabbed Eli’s arm, pulling him in on top of her.
“Those two are more trouble then hydria.” I turned around and seen Treston, he sat down beside me, he wasn’t like a friend, no he was an older brother to me, more then he was for Destiny, or more then Eric was for me. Fine by me.
“She your sister” he looked at the two yelling in the water. Arron pointed to me and I held up the necklace and Destiny had blue sparks on her fingers all ready. She turned back to Arron
“fine he mumbled as he got ready to get up and rescue Arron from his little sister. Until Arron dug his on grave by sinking into the water, when Destiny looked down, Arron popped back up and kissed her on the cheek. And swam out of the water and ran into the woods. Leaving a shocked Destiny in his place.
Treston sighed, got up and left, he wasn’t one to deal with drama. I ran to Destiny and pulled her on to the pier.
“Why he do that!” she asked while taking her necklace from my hand and putting it around her neck. I looked at it closer at the necklace, it had a ring around it I remembered Arron getting last year when he went through a year with out monsters, he always had it on for good luck.
“Um…” I said picking up the ring on the chain and twirling it”
“Arron gave it to me, in case we ever came across something… dangerous”
I looked her in the eyes, “Were half bloods, we walk out of camp, we will most likely get eaten, why did he gave you the ring” I ask, grinning now.
“I told you, luck” she got up and left. She stopped and looked at me “I’m dueling him tomorrow, by there at 6:00 …
I woke up about 5:00 the next morning, to a banging on my door, Destiny was standing outside my door with a serious expression on her face. I frowned and got up, I changed into my orange camp tee shirt and blue jeans, slipped on my boots, hat, and belt. I followed her to the Apollo cabin, their were still asleep, but Destiny just walked into the cabin and into Arron’s room. She woke him up, he sat up rubbing his light blue eyes
“What he-” He looked up confused and blushed lightly, then sat up, the covers fell off his ripped chest and into his lap.
Destiny looked in his eyes, “come on, you remember our little spar today” He groaned “Destiny!, It’s 5:00 in the morning”
“so” she replied digging through his clothes throwing him a tee shirt.
He got up and put on the tee shirt that Destiny gave him. She ran her arm through his and dragged him out of the cabin. Their so going to end up together if she doesn’t kill him first. And when you a demigod you really got to worried about killing. I thought.
…
I sat in the empty stands waiting to watch Destiny and Arron start. They started, Arron was a skilled knife fighter, better then anyone in camp, but not the best archer, even if he was a Apollo camper. He made stabbing motions and Destiny blocked them easily. She rolled pasted him and cut the side of his leg, he wasn’t fazed by the pain, and kept pushing her against the wall, he made a quick swiping motion and she dropped her knife, he pointed the knife to the hollow of her neck and wiped a bead of sweet from his brow. “Now can I go back to sleep, he still looked a hot mess, he had some kaki shorts and a blue tee shirt, his hair messed up and a few cuts on him that had all ready begun to heal.
“Um…, No” She walked up the stands grabbed me by the arm and Eli by the other arm and dragged us to the pond, getting there we sat down and dipped our toes in the water, Arron laid down and fell asleep between me and Destiny. “How long you think he’ll stay out I said, getting up and walking over the edge of the woods a little bit away.
“Awhile” Destiny said laying down beside him closing her eyes.
I took a small piece of shadow, turned it solid, it was about the size of a grape, I molded it into a flat disk and made It move a bit, then Idea time. "I wonder" I my shadow disk fly towards me quickly and took out my pocket knife, Nightdancer, and flipped it, it turned into a four foot long, thin sword, weighing less then a pound, but only to me, and swung, the disk spilt in half a vanished. I put my fingers on the dark diamonds and the sword turned into a pocket knife. "Awesome" I muttered to myself. Then a walked back beside Arron a fell asleep.
…
I awoke to the breakfast conch sound, I looked and didn’t see Arron or Destiny.
“Des? Eli?”
“Shhh…. I’m right here” I turned around and seen Destiny
“Where’s Arron”
“oh, Andrews, he …uh… is fixing to go swimming” She fell out laughing then pointed to the lake, there in a wooden canoe was Arron knocked out, asleep.
“How’d you?”
She stopped laughing long enough to talk “Lets just say the Hermes cabin owed’ me after I fried the Ares cabin for them”
I shook my head. “lets wake him up”
“3. 2. 1.” she counted
“ANDREWS” we both screamed, Arron head popped up and he tipped the boat, flopping in the water like a fish.
We took off running. Leaving Arron swimming to shore like a mad man after us, I pulled into the Dining Pavilion and we sat at our table, a few minutes a wet Arron walked into the room and sat down at the table without getting anything to eat.
I leaned back and whispered to Destiny at the Zeus table, “you think he P.O”
“yep”
“We going to make a run for it?”
“yeppers”
“ready”
“yep” We snuck out of the room without Arron seeing us and the rest of the day went by like it normally does but then I remember we had capture the flag that night. I was getting ready when I heard a knock at my door, it was Treston,
“Chiron wants to see you” I walked past him and went to the big house, Arron and Destiny was in there to,
Chiron started, “I need you to find a half-blood, he is in boarding school in Florida. His parent is unknown but they must be powerful because he has had many monsters come looking for him, so he already knows about gods, a satyr gave him a knife so he’s armed. But he needs to get back here. After that he said we had one hour to pack and Argus was coming to pick us up. I packed lightly. And went to the Zeus cabin. I knocked on the door and Treston answered.
“Colby, hey!” Treston said ushering me inside.
“Where’s Destiny?” I asked Treston as he sat back down on his bed and started back drawing, Treston is an artist.
“She’s in the bathroom” he said drawing, I walked over behind him looking at the pencil drawing of the moment we all shared the other day. It was of the pier with Arron kissing Destiny on the cheek and her blushing lightly with the water rippling were he just came out of the water, both had water rolling down their faces. Then Destiny walked out of the bathroom with her duffel bag. She looked over Treston’s other shoulder and turned cherry red, weather from blush or anger not sure.
“Treston Conners!” she yelled, Treston only looked up smiled
“what it was a great moment for all of us”
She rolled her eyes, whatever, bye bro.” She hugged Treston and stood by the door. I got up and Hugged Treston too. He was close like a over protective brother, he really didn’t care to much what happened to Destiny but still looked after her. Me and Destiny walked to the Apollo cabin and Destiny, once again, walk straight in. she walked into Arron’s room and started to shake Arron violently. He didn’t respond. He shouldn’t of even of went to sleep in the first place.
“Rise and shine” She whispered in his ear
“No. Destiny” he drawled out slowly. We both started laughing and I whispered in his ear,
“If you don’t wake up, Me and Destiny will both get the Hermes cabin, Again.” He sat up
“The quest” he yelled.
“Nuh duh” both me and Destiny said at the same time.
He got up and went to the closet and pulled out a bag and then all three of us walked out of the cabin, up the hill, and to the car where Argus was waiting calmly his eyes blinking all at once. He nodded and drove off.
After about 10 minutes of driving, Destiny broke the silence. Since I was in the middle it meant I was probably going to hear the most talking.
“Jayde” Destiny must have had something against first names.
“Yea” I said looking out the window on Arron’s side, since he was asleep.
“I swear that boy sleeps all the time” Destiny said leaning over me and looking at Eli.
“I know” he stirred and opened his eyes and closed them
“Colby, Destiny, why are you both watching me sleep, I know I’m hot but you see me everyday” Destiny slapped him and sat back to where she was and leaned back in her seat. I rolled my eyes.
“we where talking about how much you sleep” I said matter-of-factly.
He blushed very lightly and looked out the window. “whatever” he mumbled.
…
Two hours later we had gotten on a train and was now standing outside Myer’s Boarding School. It was a big school with a bunch of rich, spoiled brats, who looked like the robbed Aphrodite’s cabin’s makeup counters.
“well…. Were here” Eli said quietly.
“Ok so what do we do now?” I asked. I turned to Destiny for this was her quest.
“Go in?” She said unsure with that we all three walked in the building. We got different looks. Guys where looking and a few flirted with us. And Girls were staring at Arron, which made him happier and more self centered. We were almost across the ground when a guy about 14 came up behind us, he was tall but taller then Arron. He was cute I’ll give him that.
“Hey” he said winking at Destiny.
“Hi” she said, but kept walking, but the guy jumped in front of her and stopped her.
“You must be new” he asked, eyes searching Destiny’s form.
“Why do you say that” she asked.
“Because I would of remembered seeing you” Wow… he sucks at pick up lines, then he flashed a bright smile at her and I think the sun got brighter, and it was hot…. Really, really hot. I looked at Arron who had a P.O face on I went the punch his arm, but then I noticed something, it was about 150 degrees around him and I think a saw steam coming up around him.
“Arron!” I whispered to him and he looked away from Destiny and the dude. I pointed to him and he looked down but the heat stayed on him.
“Your jealous!” I said, mocking him.
“Am not” He protested. Then I heard a yell and we both looked at Destiny who had her hand on His wrist. His hair was standing on end and she let go, he ran off screaming. But Arron was still hot.
“Why is it hot!” Destiny complained looking at me.
“Ask him” I said pointing to Arron.
She looked confused then put her hand on his head. She recoiled quickly, then looked at her hand.
“You feel like a frying pan” she looked at the cloudy sky. It started to drizzle and she looked at Arron, he cooled down. But not before the first few drops sizzled when hitting his skin.
“since when do you get hot” I asked after we got inside.
Arron looked embarrassed. “I didn’t know I did, I guess being an Apollo kid I get hot, but none of my brothers or sisters can do that” We thought about it as we walked to the office. I stopped Destiny
“Your lucky it was cloudy or you wouldn’t of been able to cool of Arron.” I told her
“I know” She admitted sheepishly, “I never really tried to control the weather, Treston always made it rain to cheer you up, He learn his emotions control it at first, but then he learned to control it. He used to always be all down, so it was always cloudy when he first got there”
“I know” I said. We stopped by a room and all three of us went in.
“Oh you must be the new students” I fat man with a bald spot in the middle of his head and a pin stripe suit. With a smile as yellow as a dragon’s tooth. “I’m Mr. Boone. You must be Ms. Fiser, Ms. Skys, and Mr. Andrews.
We nodded and he gave us our rooms. We were in a joint room. Me and Destiny in one room, Arron and some other dude in another room.

“Colby” I said gently, he was close. He was tall, sandy brown hair and pale blue eyes, he looked kind of like an over grown elf.

“W…well I got to…. Uh… go!” He tripped over the wood base on the porch and fells backwards in the dirt, blushed more and took off towards the Apollo cabin, goodie.

Later that night I snuck out of the cabin and walked around, I found a lake
_________________________________________________
The next day at breakfast I sat with the small Hermes table, They explained the fire offering and a picked a hand full of fresh grapes, and a piece of wheat bread. I threw in some fat grapes and muttered. “Who ever my mom is, please tell me” It got quiet and about 15 pairs of eyes were on me. I looked up, and above me was a flouting symbol of Nyx, When you have ADHD a something flouting over your head can really distracted you, so when I turned back towards the table, after my mark had faded and Chiron was standing behind me, of course I was scared for moment.
“it is official, Colby is a daughter of Nyx, goddess of night” He finished and pointed my too a table with a boy about 12 was sitting. He looked happy, but didn’t say anything. I had one word for this moment. Awkward.
“Hey” I said when I sat down.
“Guess this means you’re my new sister” He replied
“Yep” that was the end of our conversation.
After breakfast I went to the Hermes cabin and got my bag and moved it to my new cabin, I walked to the sword fighting area. Just my luck, when I got there their was Destiny, Treston, and the Apollo kid.
Destiny was spearing with Apollo dude, Her Light brown hair flopping around like Chiron’s tail. He dodged out of her way, I swear a smirk was plastered to his face. He stabbed at her and she swatted his sword down like a fly with her sword.
“Take that!” Destiny shouted as she pushed her sword to his the hollow of his neck.
He looked over at me, and started walking towards me, he reached out his hand, “I’m Arron Eli Andrews”
“Colby Jayde” I replied as I shook his hand I walked over too Destiny, “You and Treston are nothing alike, why” I asked bluntly
“Different way we were raised, different parents.”
“Oh” with that I walked over to Treston and sat down beside him, he fiddling with a brass looking ring, with a eagle on it.
“What’s that” I said looking over his shoulder,
“Timekeeper”
“Oh, ok that clears everything up” I said
He looked up at me, a sad glare, “You don’t have to be so snappish about it”
I Looked up and spoke clearly, “You don’t have to be so rude” I seen look of shock on his face then it disappeared quickly, He stood up and made a motion like he was about to throw the ring then it turned into a long spear with talons on the end, he looked at the end and yellow sparks flew out of it.
“cool, But mines weightless and a pocket knife” I said getting up and opening Nightdancer’s sword. He gaped at the sword, until I closed it.
“Well bye, Treston” I said as a got up and walked to the lake.
…{4 years later}
It was about ten o’clock and I was sitting peacefully by the pair when to familiar shapes burst out, “Andrews, I will throw you to a hellhound if you don’t GIVE. IT. BACK.
“Na uh” 14 year old Arron said running to the lake, he seen me sitting in the shadows, “Hide this” he said then picked up a rock and took off running right before Destiny popped out of the bushes. Chasing the Blonde haired boy to the end of the lake, he put his hand over the lake and dropped the rock, which Destiny must of thought was the necklace that I was holding in my hand.
Destiny ran to the end and looked over the water, Arron did the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen him do, he pushed an all ready mad Destiny into the cold lake, she threw her hands quickly in the air and grabbed Eli’s arm, pulling him in on top of her.
“Those two are more trouble then hydria.” I turned around and seen Treston, he sat down beside me, he wasn’t like a friend, no he was an older brother to me, more then he was for Destiny, or more then Eric was for me. Fine by me.
“She your sister” he looked at the two yelling in the water. Arron pointed to me and I held up the necklace and Destiny had blue sparks on her fingers all ready. She turned back to Arron
“fine he mumbled as he got ready to get up and rescue Arron from his little sister. Until Arron dug his on grave by sinking into the water, when Destiny looked down, Arron popped back up and kissed her on the cheek. And swam out of the water and ran into the woods. Leaving a shocked Destiny in his place.
Treston sighed, got up and left, he wasn’t one to deal with drama. I ran to Destiny and pulled her on to the pier.
“Why he do that!” she asked while taking her necklace from my hand and putting it around her neck. I looked at it closer at the necklace, it had a ring around it I remembered Arron getting last year when he went through a year with out monsters, he always had it on for good luck.
“Um…” I said picking up the ring on the chain and twirling it”
“Arron gave it to me, in case we ever came across something… dangerous”
I looked her in the eyes, “Were half bloods, we walk out of camp, we will most likely get eaten, why did he gave you the ring” I ask, grinning now.
“I told you, luck” she got up and left. She stopped and looked at me “I’m dueling him tomorrow, by there at 6:00 …
I woke up about 5:00 the next morning, to a banging on my door, Destiny was standing outside my door with a serious expression on her face. I frowned and got up, I changed into my orange camp tee shirt and blue jeans, slipped on my boots, hat, and belt. I followed her to the Apollo cabin, their were still asleep, but Destiny just walked into the cabin and into Arron’s room. She woke him up, he sat up rubbing his light blue eyes
“What he-” He looked up confused and blushed lightly, then sat up, the covers fell off his ripped chest and into his lap.
Destiny looked in his eyes, “come on, you remember our little spar today” He groaned “Destiny!, It’s 5:00 in the morning”
“so” she replied digging through his clothes throwing him a tee shirt.
He got up and put on the tee shirt that Destiny gave him. She ran her arm through his and dragged him out of the cabin. Their so going to end up together if she doesn’t kill him first. And when you a demigod you really got to worried about killing. I thought.
…
I sat in the empty stands waiting to watch Destiny and Arron start. They started, Arron was a skilled knife fighter, better then anyone in camp, but not the best archer, even if he was a Apollo camper. He made stabbing motions and Destiny blocked them easily. She rolled pasted him and cut the side of his leg, he wasn’t fazed by the pain, and kept pushing her against the wall, he made a quick swiping motion and she dropped her knife, he pointed the knife to the hollow of her neck and wiped a bead of sweet from his brow. “Now can I go back to sleep, he still looked a hot mess, he had some kaki shorts and a blue tee shirt, his hair messed up and a few cuts on him that had all ready begun to heal.
“Um…, No” She walked up the stands grabbed me by the arm and Eli by the other arm and dragged us to the pond, getting there we sat down and dipped our toes in the water, Arron laid down and fell asleep between me and Destiny. “How long you think he’ll stay out I said, getting up and walking over the edge of the woods a little bit away.
“Awhile” Destiny said laying down beside him closing her eyes.
I took a small piece of shadow, turned it solid, it was about the size of a grape, I molded it into a flat disk and made It move a bit, then Idea time. "I wonder" I my shadow disk fly towards me quickly and took out my pocket knife, Nightdancer, and flipped it, it turned into a four foot long, thin sword, weighing less then a pound, but only to me, and swung, the disk spilt in half a vanished. I put my fingers on the dark diamonds and the sword turned into a pocket knife. "Awesome" I muttered to myself. Then a walked back beside Arron a fell asleep.
…
I awoke to the breakfast conch sound, I looked and didn’t see Arron or Destiny.
“Des? Eli?”
“Shhh…. I’m right here” I turned around and seen Destiny
“Where’s Arron”
“oh, Andrews, he …uh… is fixing to go swimming” She fell out laughing then pointed to the lake, there in a wooden canoe was Arron knocked out, asleep.
“How’d you?”
She stopped laughing long enough to talk “Lets just say the Hermes cabin owed’ me after I fried the Ares cabin for them”
I shook my head. “lets wake him up”
“3. 2. 1.” she counted
“ANDREWS” we both screamed, Arron head popped up and he tipped the boat, flopping in the water like a fish.
We took off running. Leaving Arron swimming to shore like a mad man after us, I pulled into the Dining Pavilion and we sat at our table, a few minutes a wet Arron walked into the room and sat down at the table without getting anything to eat.
I leaned back and whispered to Destiny at the Zeus table, “you think he P.O”
“yep”
“We going to make a run for it?”
“yeppers”
“ready”
“yep” We snuck out of the room without Arron seeing us and the rest of the day went by like it normally does but then I remember we had capture the flag that night. I was getting ready when I heard a knock at my door, it was Treston,
“Chiron wants to see you” I walked past him and went to the big house, Arron and Destiny was in there to,
Chiron started, “I need you to find a half-blood, he is in boarding school in Florida. His parent is unknown but they must be powerful because he has had many monsters come looking for him, so he already knows about gods, a satyr gave him a knife so he’s armed. But he needs to get back here. After that he said we had one hour to pack and Argus was coming to pick us up. I packed lightly. And went to the Zeus cabin. I knocked on the door and Treston answered.
“Colby, hey!” Treston said ushering me inside.
“Where’s Destiny?” I asked Treston as he sat back down on his bed and started back drawing, Treston is an artist.
“She’s in the bathroom” he said drawing, I walked over behind him looking at the pencil drawing of the moment we all shared the other day. It was of the pier with Arron kissing Destiny on the cheek and her blushing lightly with the water rippling were he just came out of the water, both had water rolling down their faces. Then Destiny walked out of the bathroom with her duffel bag. She looked over Treston’s other shoulder and turned cherry red, weather from blush or anger not sure.
“Treston Conners!” she yelled, Treston only looked up smiled
“what it was a great moment for all of us”
She rolled her eyes, whatever, bye bro.” She hugged Treston and stood by the door. I got up and Hugged Treston too. He was close like a over protective brother, he really didn’t care to much what happened to Destiny but still looked after her. Me and Destiny walked to the Apollo cabin and Destiny, once again, walk straight in. she walked into Arron’s room and started to shake Arron violently. He didn’t respond. He shouldn’t of even of went to sleep in the first place.
“Rise and shine” She whispered in his ear
“No. Destiny” he drawled out slowly. We both started laughing and I whispered in his ear,
“If you don’t wake up, Me and Destiny will both get the Hermes cabin, Again.” He sat up
“The quest” he yelled.
“Nuh duh” both me and Destiny said at the same time.
He got up and went to the closet and pulled out a bag and then all three of us walked out of the cabin, up the hill, and to the car where Argus was waiting calmly his eyes blinking all at once. He nodded and drove off.
After about 10 minutes of driving, Destiny broke the silence. Since I was in the middle it meant I was probably going to hear the most talking.
“Jayde” Destiny must have had something against first names.
“Yea” I said looking out the window on Arron’s side, since he was asleep.
“I swear that boy sleeps all the time” Destiny said leaning over me and looking at Eli.
“I know” he stirred and opened his eyes and closed them
“Colby, Destiny, why are you both watching me sleep, I know I’m hot but you see me everyday” Destiny slapped him and sat back to where she was and leaned back in her seat. I rolled my eyes.
“we where talking about how much you sleep” I said matter-of-factly.
He blushed very lightly and looked out the window. “whatever” he mumbled.
…
Two hours later we had gotten on a train and was now standing outside Myer’s Boarding School. It was a big school with a bunch of rich, spoiled brats, who looked like the robbed Aphrodite’s cabin’s makeup counters.
“well…. Were here” Eli said quietly.
“Ok so what do we do now?” I asked. I turned to Destiny for this was her quest.
“Go in?” She said unsure with that we all three walked in the building. We got different looks. Guys where looking and a few flirted with us. And Girls were staring at Arron, which made him happier and more self centered. We were almost across the ground when a guy about 14 came up behind us, he was tall but taller then Arron. He was cute I’ll give him that.
“Hey” he said winking at Destiny.
“Hi” she said, but kept walking, but the guy jumped in front of her and stopped her.
“You must be new” he asked, eyes searching Destiny’s form.
“Why do you say that” she asked.
“Because I would of remembered seeing you” Wow… he sucks at pick up lines, then he flashed a bright smile at her and I think the sun got brighter, and it was hot…. Really, really hot. I looked at Arron who had a P.O face on I went the punch his arm, but then I noticed something, it was about 150 degrees around him and I think a saw steam coming up around him.
“Arron!” I whispered to him and he looked away from Destiny and the dude. I pointed to him and he looked down but the heat stayed on him.
“Your jealous!” I said, mocking him.
“Am not” He protested. Then I heard a yell and we both looked at Destiny who had her hand on His wrist. His hair was standing on end and she let go, he ran off screaming. But Arron was still hot.
“Why is it hot!” Destiny complained looking at me.
“Ask him” I said pointing to Arron.
She looked confused then put her hand on his head. She recoiled quickly, then looked at her hand.
“You feel like a frying pan” she looked at the cloudy sky. It started to drizzle and she looked at Arron, he cooled down. But not before the first few drops sizzled when hitting his skin.
“since when do you get hot” I asked after we got inside.
Arron looked embarrassed. “I didn’t know I did, I guess being an Apollo kid I get hot, but none of my brothers or sisters can do that” We thought about it as we walked to the office. I stopped Destiny
“Your lucky it was cloudy or you wouldn’t of been able to cool of Arron.” I told her
“I know” She admitted sheepishly, “I never really tried to control the weather, Treston always made it rain to cheer you up, He learn his emotions control it at first, but then he learned to control it. He used to always be all down, so it was always cloudy when he first got there”
“I know” I said. We stopped by a room and all three of us went in.
“Oh you must be the new students” I fat man with a bald spot in the middle of his head and a pin stripe suit. With a smile as yellow as a dragon’s tooth. “I’m Mr. Boone. You must be Ms. Fiser, Ms. Skys, and Mr. Andrews.
We nodded and he gave us our rooms. We were in a joint room. Me and Destiny in one room, Arron and some other dude in another room.
