Welcome to Hunter and Roman, I've decided to rewrite few parts, tell me how you like it.
Wait, few thing straight. First, Dria is my OC and she is currently dating Malcolm from the Athena cabin. If you want to read more about her, you can read my story 'Wisdom's song.' Second, two of the characters, Talise and Arun belong to TaliseArlenDaughterOfPoseidon. Thirdly, Skylar belongs to SkylarRoccaineDaughterOfHermes. I will be posting the character's outfits on my Polyvore account and will put the links in my profile.
Dria's Pov
Is someone normally bored out of their wits just before the merging of two camps? Two camps that hate each other's guts? There could be war.
Screw me.
And the fact that my boyfriend Malcolm isn't coming to camp until today nightdoesn't make the day any more interesting. I would iris message him again, but the last time I did, he was in the plane and let's just say that didn't go well.
I would go and look for my twin brother Arun, but he's probably out somewhere with his best girl friend (as in, two separate words) Talise and I for one don't want to ruin their moment. Skylar would be with Will, my half-brother, Annabeth would be in the library with Percy, Rachel was in Clarion Ladies Academy, Katie would be screaming at Travis Stoll (can't you feel the love?) and Juniper would be hiding in the juniper.
So I ended up heading back to the Apollo cabin. Apollo can be a cool dad but sometimes, he shows his true Olympian form. Like when this summer he sent me on an almost impossible quest to retrieve his golden lyre but then again, what's a demigod supposed to do without bloodcurdling quests? It's part of our lifestyle, eat, go through an excruciatingly painful near death situation, sleep.
Then I remembered, I hadn't talked to my best friend Piper, who had joint the hunt last summer for a long time. I started rummaging my pockets for a golden drachma. Damn, couldn't find one.
Oh well, I bet my brother will never know the difference of the contents of his wallet. I'm not a daughter of Hermes but my friend Skylar taught me the basic pickpocketing techniques. Besides, there was no one was in the cabin besides me. They, unlike me, had stuff to do.
I went over to the water fountain, tossed the coin in and said, "Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering. Show me Piper Mclean, Cleveland forest, California."
Immediately, I saw Piper sitting on a rock. "Hey!" I shouted. She turned and grinned, "Hey Drie. What's up." I sighed, "Nothing, I'm just mega bored."
She gave me a knowing look, "Malcolm hasn't come yet?" I grinned, "You know me too well."
Just then, there was some commotion on Piper's side and a voice yelled, "Piper, Lady Artemis is calling you for a meeting. She frowned, "We're going to have to continue this later, kay?" I grinned, "Sure." She cut the connection off.
Within the next two minutes, I was bored again. Now, I couldn't help it. I was going to go and bug the first couple I saw. It's actually fun, you should try it.
Piper's Pov:
I sighed, Thalia was having another argument with Lady Artemis. I was only a few minutes late because I was iris messaging my best friend from camp, Dria. Couldn't they give it a rest until then? I stood at the opening flap of the main tent and cleared my throat.
Both Artemis and Thalia looked up at me. "Piper, Artemis wants us to go to Camp Half- Blood and welcome the Romans." Thalia pointed an accusing finger at Artemis.
That was it. No 'hello', no 'how was your day?' Nope, that's too much to expect.
"For how long?" I asked. I was sure I could manage a week or so in camp. It would be nice to see Annabeth, Percy, Leo, Lacy, Malcolm, Talise, Arun and Mitchell again. I definitely wanted to see Dria. But then again, there was a reason I never wanted to go.
"Four months." Artemis said.
"WHAT! You didn't mention that before." Thalia glared at the goddess.
"How will we survive?" I groaned.
"Thalia, you know your brother will be there. I expect my hunters to be on time and behave with grace and elegance. Piper, you survived last time." She said firmly.
"Hardly, and that was only for a week." I argued.
"Piper, Thalia you are my lieutenants. You have to be strong for the sake of the others. I have faith in both of you. Do not disappoint me." She said in her 'End of discussion' tone.
We looked at each other. We knew better than to argue. We both nodded. This was so unfair.
Since I left camp for the hunt, I was always welcome back but I never wanted to go. It brought back memories of my other life. And since I was the only daughter of Aphrodite in the hunt, I was considered a rebel. I just wanted to be normal. But unfortunately the words 'demigods' and 'normal' never went together.
"Wait, where are you going?" I asked.
Was it just me or did our patron goddess look nervous?
"I have a dangerous monster to hunt. It is something too vile for my hunters, something only I can do alone."
"Fine." Thalia said grumpily and we looked at each other, we hated it when she hid things from us.
"You girls have an hour and a half to pack. Tell the others. I will be going now. We shall meet again my faithful lieutenants." Artemis gave us one last grave look and departed.
I sighed. "Come on." I told Thalia.
"Fine, but you're telling them this time." Thalia said.
I sighed. They were not going to like it.
"I'm going to go and iris message Annie, okay?" Thalia walked away, leaving me to face the verdict on my own. I'm not saying she's a bad friend, not at all, she's awesome. It's just that she was a little distant.
"Guys!" I yelled as I walked into the clearing where the hunters were practicing. They all turned to look at me expectantly. "Um…" I hated to be centre of attention, especially when I was delivering bad news. I gulped, "There's been a change of plans. Lady Artemis has decided to send us to Camp Half-Blood for the next four months. Her decision is final and cannot be altered. I'm sorry, you have an hour to pack."
Then it was as if a riot had broken out. Girls started screaming and arguing. "Silence!" I screamed. They all looked at me, "Go and pack." I ordered. They grumbled, but knew better than to argue. Ha, I thought, Sometimes being in charge wasn't that bad. But then again, I had to set a good example for the others and being late didn't cut it. I sighed and went to pack.
