She Came Back
I opened my eyes, my whole body hurts. I lay down on a bed of leaves and twigs and a big yellow flower stuck in my ear. Big green eyes appeared in a bush. I quickly put the flower away, shocked and ashamed.
"Come out. Don't be afraid." I said calmly. "I won't hurt you. I literally can't and I badly need your help."
The green-eyed person gave out a big sigh and revealed itself. It wasn't a he, it was a she. And she was a nymph. Her skin was light green and her hair was dark green and was tied into a ponytail. She wore a dress, probably made of leaves, that was long enough to cover her feet.
"You look pretty so I put a pretty flower on your ear." She said. "And also, I build you a pretty nest after I found you lying in the pretty woods."
I'll admit that she is pretty, but take note: I do not look like a girl. I put the big yellow flower on her ear and introduced myself. She was named Mia. She was short and whenever she talks, I got distracted of her cute dimples. In my surprise, she knew how to get to Camp Half-blood, she says she likes to get away sometimes and she's hungry for adventure. Kinda like me.
She knew the way back, so I followed her and told her how did I ended in the woods. It was a long walk, and we rented a boat to Long Island Sound, the location of my camp. Now, don't expect that Sebastian will jump out of nowhere and sing us a love song. Well, this ain't Little Mermaid, okay? And besides, I just met her hours ago.
"Where will you stay?" I asked. "Nymphs should stay at there life source, right?"
"Well, my life source is located at Camp Half-blood." She said while twirling her hair with her finger. "And it's a pretty tree."
"Then how'd you manage to find me?" I said before she looked down and bit her lip. "Mia?" I called.
"Here's the pretty truth. I've always been stalking you, okay? Everytime you go out of your pretty cabin, I've been always watching you from behind a pretty tree." She said while blushing. "I was so devastated when I saw you jump into that pretty hole. Luckily, a pretty friend of mine, from the forest where you fainted, told me that she found you."
"So you rescued me." I added. She was still looking down. I didn't that I'll do this, because I hugged her so tightly. This is all that I can do to her for now. She let go first and turned away to hide her face, but I can tell she's blushing.
We continued our way back to my camp. The skies were turning dark and I can see the island already. I controlled the waves to bring us to the shore as fast as I can.
I saw three guys, surrounding a bonfire eating marshmallows on a stick. I badly want one, so we when over. It was Liomel, Eljann and Remenelle. Liomel was, as usual, eating grapes.
"You're in big trouble, Pat." Remenelle said while taking a bite of his marshmallow. "Chiron said that you should go to the Big House, if you come back."
"Who's you're pretty friend here?" Eljann said and he stretched his arm to touch Mia's dress.
I was about to say no but Iris kids have a power to change colors, being the rainbow goddess's child. Eljann turned Mia's dress into purple. Mia shouted angrily at Eljann that she isn't barney and chased him to have revenge. I laughed at the scene but Liomel suddenly spoke.
"Is she your girl?" He sais while raising an eyebrow. "You two look good together."
I blushed and defended myself.
"We just met, dude. Jeez." I said. "Although she is kinda cute."
"So you're gonna court her?" Remenelle asked.
"Nah, I wasn't thinking about that yet." I answered.
I glanced at her and found myself smiling. I dont know what was it about. If it's about Mia or Mia wanking Eljann with a flip flop as they ran to the glen. I left them and grabbed Mia away from them, just to prevent them from shipping us and making us their OTP (One true pairing). I told Mia to go back to her tree and take a rest.
On my way to the big house, I saw Glaiza. She held a book, which I thought was: HE FELL IN OUR STAIRS, because of my dyslexia but it took me long enough to read that it was: THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. That book seems to be dangerous, that it can hurt you emotionally and physically, if you know what I mean.
She was so focused on reading that she didnt noticed me. I came over to say hi but she seems busy. I was about to turn my back but she spoke.
"How did it go?"
"Go what?" I answered while scratching my head.
"Falling in that hole."
"It was so fun, I met zombies and we had a tea party with little ponies and care bears." I said sarcastically. "Of course, it was awful. It was all dark and cold."
"It was kinda obvious and by the way, I have something to give you." She fished something in her pocket and gave me a box.
"What's this?" I asked.
"A box. Duh."
"I know but what's inside?"
"Find out for yourself."
"Fine."
"I doubt you'll do it again and perhaps you need that. Poseidon kids are so crazy." She said.
"Hell yeah, we are!" I said as Chiron appeared at my back.
"Big House. Now." He muttered.
The Big House was literally big. It was stable for many years, and I'm proud of it. We went inside and sat on a red comfy chair. Silence filled the room and Chiron decided to break it.
"How many times will I tell you not to break the rules!?" He shouted. "Poseidon kids really are trouble makers. Starting with Mr. Jackson."
"Glad he was gone to college with Annabeth." I said. "I do hope they'll send me greeting cards for thanksgiving."
"Enough." He shouted. "Tell me what you saw."
I began with how I got there and to the part where and how I lost them.
Chiron was holding his chin and nods. But I didnt told my dream.
"And I suspect that they are kidnapped like Kathleen and assume that they are located in the same place." I said to Chiron.
Chiron was about to open his mouth but the door opened so loud that I think it'll shatter into pieces. Outside was Dames. He resembled his father, Hephaestus, a lot especially when he's holding that hammer. But he was short and thin and his father was short and stout. (No offense to him and his children)
"Sorry to interupt but you might want to see this."
It was hard to keep track of him in the night because he was dark-skinned but that shining hammer helped us quite enough.
He led us to the arena. This is where we train to survive. Archery, combat and sword fights were often held here. There was noisy crowd inside which makes us eager to come. I saw a sword lying alone beside the entrance, I picked it up and it reminded me of Kathleen which is the owner of this sword. And this place was her favorite spot.
I was really and hopefully expecting a fight or a monster but this one shocked the hell out of me.
It was Kathleen. Laughing and having a good time with the other campers especially with Joji. She saw us and smirked.
"I'm glad to see you again."
