Disclaimer: I do not own anything. Damn, my life sucks.
SKYLAR II
She has been in the camp for a little over twenty minutes and is already unwelcomed by those that stay all year. They glared at the newcomer, campers felt like she wasn't like them at all. She knew that she should just turn around and face the facts of life.
"A new camper?" Skylar turned around to meet Chiron. The first time she saw him she had the urge to get one of the laser blasters and shoot him. But a wave of relief washed over her as he had a friendly smile on and the campers around them didn't seem to freak out or anything.
"Yeah, I am Skylar Lewis." Skylar slightly smiled back towards the man. Or uhh… horse? For some reason when he heard the last name he shook his head a bit. He remembered someone with the last name but assumed that the girl had no relation with the old man at all.
"Hello then Skylar my dear! Do you know who your godly parent it at all?" Skylar didn't plan this through. She didn't know which one to lie about. She was completely lost in thought and did not hear the man calling out to her. "Unclaimed then I take it!"
"Oh yeah. I have no idea who it would be." she shrugged and put on a fake smile. Chiron then told the nearest camper to get the head counselor of Hermes and to tell him to prepare an extra bunk. Skylar was a bit confused but shook her head as Chiron motioned for her to follow him.
A few hours later, Skylar was dressed in armor and standing in the middle of the arena. She watched as campers fought each other and how they could beat each other easily. Chiron then started with 'levels' for every camper. At the moment, Skylar was at level 1, a beginner.
She attacked the stuffed dummy that was sitting nearby and dropped her practice weapon. Several children laughed as they watched her make a fool out of herself while attacking it. That was until a voice called out to her, "do you even know how to fight?"
Skylar turned to face a goth boy. A certain son of Hades. Skylar crossed her arms and said, "maybe I do, maybe I don't. Who are you anyways?"
The boy laughed.
This of course made Skylar a bit angry. Why would he laugh at her for no reason at all? "Who do you think you are, kid?"
"I am Nico di Angelo. Son of Hades, you know the god of death? You are the kid that everyone has been talking about. Skylar, right?" Nico asked.
"Yeah."
"Anyways, I see that you need some more practice." Nico gestured towards her.
"Whatever." Skylar turned back towards the dummy and ran straight for it. She wasn't paying much attention to the short film about being a Demigod. Nico laughed again causing Skylar to frown. Of course after the seventh attempt, she had enough. She spun around and challenged him to a fight.
He gladly accepted and drew a practice sword in order to make this more fair. He allowed Skylar the first move which she charged at him and swung the blade. He lazily blocked it with the sword and yawned. He was getting tired after her swinging it back and forth completely missing her.
He then tripped her causing her to fall onto her back. He pointed the end of the sword at her neck and grinned. "Cheater."
He then laughed and said that you cannot hate the player, hate the game. And Skylar did hate the game ever since she began playing it. She cursed in her head about stupid monsters.
Before making herself look like a fool, Nico told her to throw some food in the fire as an offering to the gods. Skylar wasn't that hungry so ended up throwing half of her dinner into the fire. She then looked around for a table to sit at. When the campers leave for school, anyone that stays can get up to different tables.
Skylar sat next to the son of Hades. He then grinned at her and said, "So how was your first day?"
Skylar looked at the ground a bit. She then told him that it wasn't the best and she doesn't even know how to fight. She raised an eyebrow as a smile stretched across his face. He then offered her to be able to teach her how to fight. She then agreed.
One boy from Hermes cabin went up to the table in the corner. He sat next to Nico and looked over at Skylar. He then smirked and said, "So big Zeus had another kid, eh?"
Skylar blinked. "Huh?"
He laughed and explained that her name was unoriginal and she had to be his daughter. He then said that Thalia would be a bit angry that there would be another one. Angry that she wasn't claimed at a younger age, and that she had a sister that Zeus never mentioned. Nico rolled his eyes a bit knowing that Thalia really wouldn't care at all.
"Josh, just leave alright?" Nico said.
"Whatever. See you daughter of Zeus." the boy called Josh laughed as he was walking away slowly. Skylar looked a bit annoyed as Nico was laughing at her. She then asked him why he was laughing and he shook his head and said it was actually a meomory from when he was a kid.
Skylar then shrugged and got up. She dumped the food that she didn't touch into the trash and went off to find her cabin. She didn't care about the sing along at all. She then fell back into her bed and though about everything that went wrong today. She was beginning to think that this wasn't a good idea at all. She had that feeling that something would backfire. And she was right after all.
Something will be going wrong in the future.
