Demigods: Camp *Still open*

Ophelia(Hades)-Monday

Bone-tired from the long day, I made my way back to the cabin, more than ready to go to sleep. When I arrived, I pushed the door open quietly, expecting to find Cassandra and Georgie asleep. Instead, I saw Cassandra sitting on her bed(the lower bunk of my own bed) looking up at Georgie on the opposite bunk. Georgie, in the middle of a sentence, it seemed, stopped short. They were both staring at me.

"Hey." I said awkwardly, disrupting the momentary silence.

"Hi." They chimed coldly, in near perfect unison.

Hhhhhh. Figures that we would get a new cabin and she would take to Georgie, and not me. What surprised me was that Georgie hadn't rejected her. I remembered all to clearly the beginning of my conflict with Georgie. I had been twelve, new to the camp with no friends and absolutely no one to help me adjust to being thrown into the weird world of Camp Half-Blood. I had turned to Georgie, seeing as she was my sister, but she had refused to offer her friendship. Our relationship never really recovered.

"We were trying to have a conversation." Georgie added irritably.

"And I am trying to get some sleep. I'm exhausted."

Georgie snorted. "Fine then, I guess we'll let you, your 'royal highness.'"

"Really,Georgie I thought you were more mature then that."

"Look who's talking." Cassandra scoffed.

"Touche. But I really am tired." I said as I turned off the lights. Cassandra huffed, but didn't complain.

Lexie-Ares

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know that Tristen lead his high school volleyball team to states, but that doesn't change the fact that I beat him. I don't think he was very happy about losing, but oh well. I'm a daughter of Ares, I don't lose. Except for the chariot race, but we're not talking about that anymore!

Anyway, Keen, Jack, Andreas, and I all went to the arena after the game to get some extra practice in. I was paired up with Andreas because neither Keen nor Jack felt like being on "babysitting duty". Whatever. I know they just hadn't completely accepted Andreas yet.

He was a fair fighter, not as good as me though. I had knocked the sword out of his hands too many times to count. I knew he had to be a better fighterm I just had to get it out of him somehow. I came up with a plan.

"Hey twerp," I jeered at him, "you can't fight any better than that?" Andreas looked at me, stunned. I took advantage of his pause and knocked the sword out of his hands, yet again.

"Pick it up! Or do I need to find better competition?" It was working. I could feel the rage building up inside of him. All I needed was one more little push, and he'd be gone. Keen and Jack had stopped fighting to watch us. Jack was smiling, but Keen's face was emotionless. I couldn't tell what she was thinking. I knew Jack knew what I was up to.

"Hey punk, I can't believe you're even here! You shouldn't even have been claimed! You could go hide in the woods again and I wouldn't care."

Andreas snapped. His eyes turned the fiery red color mine always held and charged at me. He brought his sword down with so much force that I staggered backwards. This kid was good. Maybe even better than me. Okay, maybe not that good.

We fought for a good five minutes, back and forth, back and forth, until all of the sudden, my sword flew half way across the arena. I was laying on the ground on my back, Andreas's foot pinning me to the ground. His sword was half an inch away from my neck. I have to admit, it was pretty scary.

He put his sword away and pulled me up. I staggered a bit and picked up my lucky sword.

"I win." was all he said before he walked back to the cabin, all by himself.

That's good, Noelle, but could you make it the next day and put >Tuesday< before your post? Thanx

Nick~Hermes

It was 4:00, which meant Free Time. Me and Kassie were walking around the porch of the big house, just talking and hanging out. Kassie was up on the railing, balancing her self and keeping up with me as we walked, occasionally resting her hand on me for support when she would get unsteady.

I pulled a Pepsi can from my jacket pocket and popped it open. Taking a sip of it, I noticed Kassie watching and I offered it to her.

She looked at it like it as if was from planet mars. Of course they didn't sell soda pop in camp store, with at least a fifty ADHD children, that would be tempting trouble. I had swiped a six-pack couple days ago from a nearby convenient store.

She eyed the can suspiciously, but finally she shrugged and took it. I smiled, no demigod could refuse caffeine. When she was done with a couple of sips, she bent over and handed it back, when she did I caught sight of something dangling from her neck. She noticed me watching, and sat down on the railing and held it so that I could get a better look.

I took it from her and read, "Breath."

She nodded, "It helps me remember to take time and just breath."

"Yeah, forgetting to breath would be a pretty bad thing."

"Shut up," she mumbled and bumped my shoulder playfully.

Luna-Poseidon

After my unsettling encounter with my new "sister" I had to explore the camp. That Charlie girl had made me think about my family, which is a touchy subject. My brother only two years old was now stuck with my mother. I worried for him. What would happen to him? I had changed his diapers and fed him for his whole life. My mother always forgot him, she forgot me too. After living with my mess of a mother, I had started cleaning the house. Now that I am here though, I need to stop that habit. Whenever I was angry or couldn't control my emotions, I usually went to a quiet place near the water, preferably at sunset. I now sat on the beach, trying to figure out how to apologize for my anger. I had just devised a plan to leave a note on her bunk when I heard footsteps. It was Charlie.
" I thought I'd find you here." She said. I waited for her to go on, but she just crossed her arms. " Well, aren't you going to say anything?"
" Um, I was going to apologize-"
" While why didn't you!" What was making here so angry? I had apologized. Time to end this once and all. I knew that she wasn't going to apologize, so I had to. I didn't want to fight.
" Look Charlie, I know you're used to your own room, but I'm your cabin mate now, and you're not being very inviting. I apologize for anything I did that made you angry, but I don't want to fight."
Something changed in her eyes. Instead of anger she looked sad. " Ok, I'm sorry too. I just like to be alone a lot. Maybe we can stop fighting." I smiled, although I was probably slightly smiling anyway. I always do.

<Tuesday>
Spirit Jones~Hermes
I played with my necklace absent mindenly. It was almost free-time. The time to tell Desert. I blushed, thinking about him. That night under the stars... We had done that many times over the summer but- this was different. I had finally realaxed and he'd took hold of my hand it was... nice. Really really nice. He cared about me. My mind drifted and I saw a young girl pad across the field. We'd been getting so many claimed recently. Yet it was never Desert.
" Class dissmissed!," Nick called.
Speaking of which...
" Desert!," I called running to keep up with him.
" Spirit!," he smiled at me," How was monster teaching?"
I smile at him then remember what I came here.
" Listen Desert...," I motioned to the ground," May we sit?"
He nodded, looking confused. I take a deep breathe.
" I've been meaning to tell you...," tears run down my face.
" Spirit...," he touches my shoulder.
" It's nothing. It's just something mortal... foolish."
He turns me and locks onto my eyes. My heart skips a beat.
" If it matters to you it matters to me.'
I nodd and take a deep sobbing breathe.
" M-my grandparents and Lettie and Claire were in an accident," the tears poured more down my face," Lettie was only 7... S-she and my grandparents are dead."
dead. A horrible word.He put his arm around me.
" Oh Spirit...," Deser whispered.
" And you remember 5-year old Claire she's probaly never gonna w-walk again."
Desert probaly couldn't understand a word I was saying, I was crying so hard. Yet I told him. I'd finally told him.

~Kassie/Zeus~

Nick would be the one to say something like that. I laughed--I couldn't help it--but some part of me felt insulted--hurt. I took his drink again and drank some. I had to admit, I liked it, and I didn't just mean the drink. I ment the friendship, the talking, the closeness. It felt right, some how, like the Gods wanted us to be friends.

And possibly more? I asked in my mind. I felt like I was praying to my father, but when your dad is the king of the Gods--or just one ofthe other Gods--they didn't have much time to stop and come visit.

I yawned, as I handed Nick his drink back. My eyes fell to my feet, that were hanging down as I sat on the railing with Nick. I felt like something was supposed to heppen, but what? There was an awkward silence, before the wind blew and nearly nocked me off the rail. I couldn't help but laugh as I cought myself on one of the tall rails so that I didn't hit the ground. It wasn't long before Nick was laughing along, and I was caught up in the moment.

Ophelia(Hades)-Tuesday
It felt good to have a sword in my hands again, after the long moths of being at home in Colorado, where I had to try to be at least somewhat normal. Normal? Was that even possible for a demigod? Georgie took advantage of my momentary distraction, and nearly knocked the sword out of my hands. I hate it when that happens. I know pretty-much all half-bloods have a sort of ADHD(battle reflexes, thank you very much), but sometimes I think I might be the only demigod who actually has true ADHD. Wouldn't surprise me.

I felt my strokes fall into a receptive rhythm, creating a sort of music when combined with our steps. Georgie was a good fighter, but she could be somewhat predictable. While contemplating this, I realized that I had yet to fight with Cassandra this summer. Should be interesting.

Jack

So the newbie is actually a good fighter. Maybe I had him all wrong. He didn't talk to Lexie at all that night, so I figured it was my turn to figure out what he was all about. More specifically his weakness. If I can find that, then perhaps I could make a fighter out of him. I made a move at him right after breakfast as he walked to the next activity. Neither Keen nor Lexie were anywhere near him. It was just him and me.

"Nice moves there." I said approaching him.

"Yeah." He said.

"You do realize that Lexie did that on purpose, right? She meant nothing by it."

"I know." He said. He was really starting to irritate me.

"Look," I said, "let's get this straight, you may be my brother but I don't think I can trust you yet."

"I haven't done anything that would make you think that."

"That's not it. I wouldn't put my life in your hands like I would with Lexie and Keen. In combat, that is a major thing."

"What are you getting at."

"I need to know you." I said. He still didn't get it, "Okay, let's break this down. I know you are a son of Ares. I know that you haven't been given a celestial weapon yet. I know you have the skills to fight. But I still don't know what makes you tick."

"So?" Andreas said. I think he knew where I was coming from, though. I was challenging him to a fight.

"Well, I need to fight you personally. Your preferred weapon with mine." I took my fighting gloves out of my pocket and put them on, "Ares may not have given you a concentration, but all Ares kids know where they excell. I excell in hand to hand combat. I have also been practising with hand to weapon. I never liked swords or bows and arrows."

"Isn't that against camp rules?"

"As long as we take it to the practise arena, I really don't think Mr. D cares whether or not we give each other black eyes. What do you say, hmm?"

Sorry for not posting! I've been Ill! This is only going to be a smalll post cos I'm still Ill and have to use the iPod

It was free time for me, so I kinda just sat in my cabin playing my acoustic and singing, it helps me think and I was still thinking about who loosened the bolt on the chariot.

Then I remembered, I saw Nick coming out of the place were we were keeping the chariot, he just said that he was looking at everyones chariot.

I left the cabin and walked over to his, I asked could I talk to him in private.
When I came out I slapped him...hard.

"what was that for?" he asked.

"You know exactly what for! You loosened the bolt! And broke your own best friends arm!"

he looked bewildered, and shocked.

Sorry it's short! I'll post more once I get the comp !

Sorry guys. I have to back up on this since I don't really know how the story plot works. :3
