Camp Half-Blood *Join!*

Katherine - Poseidon

Did I want to go swimming? Just because I was a child of Poseidon didn't mean I was obsessed with water or whatever. With a heavy sigh I plastered on a bright smile, "Sure, Daemond. But if your going to be wearing that bikini I saw you looking at then I'm outta there." I laughed, just trying not to dampen everyone's spirits like mine.
It was madening trying to decipher his every move but one thing was for certain; he had no idea that I had feelings for him.
I sighed and spooned some eggs into my mouth, telling myself to sigh less and smile more. Aren't us Poseidon kids supposed to be happy like sunlit water?
I shake my head at my nonsense and poke at some of the meat. It was sausage, I hate sausage.
"So, what did you do to the Apollo kid to light his fuse?" I asked with a wry smile.
I'd seen Daemond in one of his fits but it had never bothered me, considering my temper isn't always stable.
Ah, another missing piece of my history. I ran away from camp once and told some strangers about the monsters and they'd helped me. Helped as in admitting me to the local psych ward. That was at the age of six, and being tall I was suspected of being older.
I stiffled my mad laugh by shoving the meat down my throat, wrinkling my freckled nose in distaste.

Ani - Poseidon

"Oh, can I come swimming with you guys? I've been dying to go and I guess it may be better with company." I asked Daemond and Katherine.

"Sure, I guess." Deamond answered awkwardly.

Erika then said something about going out and finding Raine

"Oh my god, I can't believe I forgot about that!" I said when Erika mentioned Raine.

I immediately shot up. Looking around at everyone, I frowned a bit. Dionysus was going to loose it.

With a sigh, I stood up on a table and yelled to get everyone's attention.

When everyone's eyes were trained on me, I yelled, "Hey, you guys, Dionysus is going to be really mad so get back to your designated tables unless you guys want to loose free time and or capture the flag."

People began to shift to their correct tables so I got off of the table and linked arms with Erika, "Come on, let's go find Raine!" I said, taking Katherine by her arm and pulling her up.

Bella - Aphrodite

When Ani got down from the table, I stood up, "Well, see you guys later."

I gave Chase a flirty smile and headed over to my table. Okay, maybe it was bad of me to string him along like this, but it was kind of - nice. He seemed so nice and innocent I just couldn't stand breaking his heart.

Sitting down at my table, I said to the siblings that were there, "I'm so hungry, you guys want to go get something to eat?"

Katherine- Poseidon

I gripped my fork and shoved the last bits of egg into my mouth as I was drqgged along before dropping my fork onto my plate and smirked like a fool at Daemond.
"I was so looking forward to that muffin." I told him loudly as I stared at the muffin seated before my plate.
Ani dragged me along until I decided to cooperate.
"Raine eh?" I said with a lift of my brow.
"Yea," said Ani as she waited to see what I was blubbering on about.
"Well, why are we looking for her?" I asked.
I didn't get an answer.
"You know, if she loved you then she'll come back on her own." I quoted lamely, bored out of my pond.
Oh my god, I cannot believe I just said that.
I burst into manical laughter.

~Raine Starkweather~Poseidon~

The room went chaotic ad soon as a girl stood on a table and yelled. "Hey, you guys, Dionysus is going to be really mad so get back to your designated tables unless you guys want to loose free time and or capture the flag."

Aura sighed and stood up. "See ya' later, I gotta meet up with my group." I'm pretty sure she could see my disappointment.

I stood up awkwardly. This was only my third day here, I always sat alone, no one ever noticed me. I didn't even know who the other Poseidon demigods where! I stayed in the same place, tapping my foot. Does anyone besides Aura know who I am? How will I find my group? I thought. Pushing myself through a crowd, I stood by the door, avoiding all of the madness. As everyone else found their seats, I still remained awkwardly placed by the door.

Three girls rushed around together, ever so ofter scanning the room. One spotted me and the rest ran towards me. The one who stood up on the table talked first. "Come on Raine! Follow us." I followed like a lost puppy, how did she know my name? When we sat at the table, I noticed how much different I was then the others, my hair was longer..and blonde, I was taller, my face was more pointed, and my eyes were brighter.

I interrupted the silence with. "How do you guys know my name, and how did you know what I look like?"

The one with straight brown hair answered quickly, "We got an announcement that our group would have a new addition." She kept a smile on her face throughout the comment.

"And, it's kind of hard not to notice someone in the same cabin as you for two days." the brunette with curly hair added.

"Um. I'm sorry, but it's REALLY awkward not knowing your names when you know mine."

Ani - Poseidon

"Oh, how rude of me. My name is Ani, it means wave, and these are our sisters, Erika and Katherine."

"Hello Ani, Eika, Katherine" She said, nodding at each of us in turn.

"It's so exciting to have you here Raine, you're going to absolutely love it, I promise! It's absolutely wonderful!"

I continued with "Let's go sit, I pulled Katherine away from her food and I still have to eat."

"Oh, about that Katherine, sorry. I was just excited about finding Raine."

"Really? You were excited about meeting me?" Raine asked in a confused tone, probably because we don't even know each other.

"But of course. We are sisters"

~Raine Starkweather~Poseidon~

"Really? You were excited about meeting me?" I asked, still confused.

"But of course. We are sisters" She replied with a smile.

"Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that part" I said ruffling my fluffy hair.

"We all had that problem the first few weeks" Ani assured.

"So, whats the point of working together when we can only sit with certain people? I don't get it." I wondered out loud

"There's plenty of things we do that let us associate with the other demigods."

"Oh? And, don't you find it ironic that Poseidon only had girls?" The others giggled at that remark. "I'm rambling again, sorry." I bit my lip and looked down at my plate, poking the egg with my fork before scooping it into my mouth. Again, I looked around at the other demigods, wondering which group was half of which God.

"Who are they?" I motioned to a small group of two.

I might not be able to post today, I'm going snowboarding and then my friend is coming over for the super bowl. But you never know, I might sneak something in there.

P.S Go Packers!

Oh my jesus.. y'all I'm totally sorry :O where's Kassie right now and has anything happened that I really need to know?? I'll post as soon as I can, but its like too early right now and I haven't slept all night! I'm so so so so so so sorry! I was so ready on the last sb xD

Regan O'Neill

This girl, Zandra, really could've have been my little sister. She was tough and smart, I could see, but how smart, and what kind?

" So, how long have you been at camp?" She said.

" I came here last summer. I'd been living on my own and traveling the world. I had been planning to go to India that summer, but my Dad wanted me to learn more and relax for a summer, so I came here. I'm comming back this year at my father's request also." I paused, letting the information sink in. " So, how long have you been here?"

" Three years," she said as we sat down at the Athena table. " I came when I was twelve," She seemed to be calming down from our conversation earlier.

I didn't really want to have another sister. I was all alone last year, and that suited me. It was stupid, but I always imagined Athena loving my father for more than just a few months. I imagined that she still loved him, and only him. It was a silly dream, but one that most campers had, I bet.

After a long pause in our conversation, I finally asked the question I'd been thinking. " So," I started. " Why weren't you at camp last year? I was here for the first month or two, did you come late, or not at all?" I asked. I hoped that I wasn't coming across as to pushy, I mean, I'd be stuck with her for a while here, so I didn't want to have an enemy sleeping next to me. I didn't want a friend either, and judging by the time it was taking her to answer my question, neither did she.

Sakin, I posted with Kassie in my posts about Nick. So, you should read those. And I think everybody's at Breakfast right now.

Savannah Victoria

Breakfast was normal, for the most part. The most exciting thing was probably when a girl stood on a table and told us all to get back to our tables. At my table was my two cabinmates, neither of whom were very talkative. I finished early and left to go practice Archery.

No one else was practicing now, which surprised me. Usually there was a cocky Apollo kid shooting arrow after arrow strait into the center. Not today though, I was completely alone.

I wasn't very good at archery, so I suppose I should've given up, but knowing that I quit wouldn't do it for me. I had to master it and be able to say, " I'm a Zeus kid who can shoot an arrow."

When my arrow missed the target for the fifth time, I got angry. I felt my hair on end as electricity flowed through me. I tried shooting once more, and when it missed I shot lightning right into the center of the target. As I was calming down and starting to feel embarassed about losing my temper, I heard laughter behind me.
can be anyone

Ani - Poseidon

"Who are they?" Raine asked, motioning to Tessa and Heavenly (right?)

"Those are Demeter's kids." I responded, shoving food into my mouth.

"There's only two of them so far, they're pretty nice. Kind of hippie like but really cool."

I watched as Heavenly pushed her eggs away, furthering her attempt at being a vegan.

Bella - Aphrodite

After eating, I had gotten kind of bored. My siblings aren't my favorite people to hang around. Sure, they're awesome and I love them, but like everyone's do, my siblings can get annoying.

I slipped out of the mess hall and went over to the archery area, figuring I might as well practice, seeing that I absolutely stink at it.

When I got there, I saw Savannah getting rather frustrated and all of the sudden the target was electricuted, smoke rising from it.

I couldn't help but let out a laugh.

She turned to look at me.

I felt a little awkward, so I simply said, "Um, hey, mind if I join you?"

(Agrees DaSpetsnaz. Packers!)


~Spirit Jones~


Before anyone can reply Ani from Posiedon stands up and yells something about how mad Mr.D would be when he saw us sitting at random tables. I'd totally forgotten about that. Sighing, I get up from the Apollo table and give T.J. a small smile.

"Talk to you later?"

He nodds rapidly and I wave goodbye to Alex and Chase, both who are eyeing T.J. with interest. I walk toward the Hermes table and sit besides my brother Nick, a plate of waffles in my hand. He gives me one glance and smiles.

" I swear, you out eat me half the time."

I stick out my toungue playfully, " Well, than you eat to little." Lowering my voice I whisper," I saw what you pulled on the Ares kids. Nice one."

"Thanks."

I take out the small watch I keep in my pocket but never wear on my wrist.

"Jeez, it's almost time for the next activity! With the Ares cabin. Better hope none of them guess it's you!"

He laughs," I doubt it. Hard to guess with the masters."

His words remind me of my conversation with T.J. A small smile tugs at my lips as I think about his efforts to prank us. It was really quiete sweet of him to admit it, like he didn't want me to be a result of the pranking. He seemed like a nice guy...maybe I could go pranking with him one time. Now that could be fun.

*************************************************************************************************************************************

~Daemond~

I give Katherine a brief a smile as I walk towards our table. Sure, I was a slight bit dissapointed that Ani was gonna tag along on our swim. I honestly don't know why, I guess it was because Katherine and I haven't been alone since she was electrified. Then again, why did I want to be alone? Three people is always fun. Sighing, I rub my temples as I sit down beside Diago at our table. He looks sleepy and not in the mood for conversation, which was ok, because I wasn't sure if I wanted to talk. I was to busy killing my brain cells. I pick at my sasauge trying to think happy thoughts. I mean...next was cabin fighting right? That's great! Suddenly Dad walks in, assesing everyone at their own table and nodds. He gives Diago and I a brief smile. Even laid back Diago seems shocked.

"He's paying attention to us that's not murding us? It's a miracle." I mutter.

Diago nodds, taking a sip of his gatorade. I finish my sasague and throw it away.

"Please move on to sword and shield now!" Chiron ushers us out of the room.

Ah, battling time. I'll enjoy this.

Savannah Victoria- Zeus

I turned to see Bella, an Aphrodite girl, standing behind me. I was relieved that it wasn't an Apollo camper laughing at me, and I doubted that Bella was a master at archery. There was an awkward pause as we both try to think of something to say. Bella spoke first.

" Um, hey. Mind if I join you?" She asked.

" Not at all. As long as you're willing to risk getting hit by one of my arrows."

She laughed and came over to the archery station next to me. She didn't fumble with the bow or anything, she just picked it up. I watched as she notches an arrow and shot it. It hit the edge of the target. She bit her lip and seemed sad. It was only when she was turning to look at me that I realize I was staring.

" What?" She said. " Am I doing something wrong?" She looked genuinely worried.

" No! It's not that, I was just surprised that you could shoot." I said. I hoped that I didn't come off as rude to her, I really had been surprised. " I've never seen you practice before."

" I've practiced before, but not that much." I was sensing and a slight coldness in her words. apparently she didn't like being judged.

" Well, you're a natural, and you're a lot better than me. You should shoot more often," I said. I hoped that maybe she wouldn't hate me if I complemented her. Aphrodite girls usually liked that, right? I notched another arrow and shot. It skimmed the target, and even this success made me feel immensely better.

Lexie-Ares

I woke up this morning to Andreas' and Jack's yells. Bolting out of bed, I ran through the open door and into the bathroom. I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing.

"You guys look ridiculous!"

"Gee thanks," Jack responded, "I'm gonna kill whoever did this."

I had to remember this day for the rest of my life. My brothers faces were covered in sparkly make-up. They both looked like Aphrodite had given them a makeover.

"This had to be one of the Aphrodite guys," Andreas voiced as he rubbed his face with a washcloth.

"We are so gonna get them later." Jack agreed. He seemed to be having much more trouble getting the make-up of of his face.

Trying to hold back my laughter, I comment, "There's no way that the Aphrodite guys did this. They aren't cunning enough. This was done by a true prankster. I think you've just been pranked by a Hermes kid,"

"But where would they have gotten the make-up?"

"Think about it Andreas," I respond. "Hermes kids are theives too. They could've stolen from the Aphrodite kids or even the camp store. I highly doubt that the Aphrodite kids are smart enough to come up with something like this."

"Either way, someone is going to regret that this ever happened. C'mon Andreas, let's go find the prankster." Jack and Andreas left to go find the prankster and I followed behind. I smile to myself. I was so glad to be back at camp.
