Chapter 12 - Hermes
Prob the Hermes theme song ^
Travis POV
Something strange happened last night. No one was going to tell us Hermes kids but we can find out enough on our own.
Nico took the new girl into the woods and something happened to him. That was as much as we heard before Will caught us at the window and threatened to steal our kneecaps and use them as a Frisbee.
Okay that was kinda gross, but we scrammed fast enough.
Me and Conner planned to include her in our next prank by having her do little steal in the Ares cabin to divert their attention.
As soon as Emma heard what we were going to send her to do she burst into laughter.
"Me," She said between breaths, pointing at herself, "steal" She imitated taking something out of her pocket, "from them?!" gesturing to the Ares kids, who were sharpening their weapons.
Conner and I nodded, smirking.
Emma shook her head and muttered something like, "I'm just glad you haven't met Gred and Forge"
Whatever that meant.
Well, it didn't take much to convince her to do it.
Emma suck up behind Clarisse and waggled her fingers in the air just near Clarisse's ears. Then, with an evil smirk yanked Clarisse's spear out of her hands and ran for it.
The ares kids sat stunned for a moment at the very notion that someone took Clarisses's spear.
Then, just as Emma was approaching the big house, They came to their senses and chased after her.
Emma leapt onto the porch and ran along its length. I ran after her, using a pair of shoes my father gave me for his birthday. Ever since Luke he had been more attentive to his kids.
She came within sight just as the Ares kids reached the porch. Just as she was about to reach the end Mr. D opened the door.
She was going to crash!
but no, she ran up and flipped over, using the wall as higher ground.
The Ares kids weren't as lucky.
A few crashed into the door and pushed Mr. D back, while others had the sense to stop before they reached the impact zone.
Clarisse ran around the door, somehow managing to avoid all the pile-up.
She chased Emma to the end. the dead end. There was no where for her to go! Mr. D had built a wall there because the campers kept the railing for vaulting and Chiron would not let him leave it where he could fall off the edge when he was in his wheelchair.
So he had replaced it with the wall, a horizontal gap in the middle for light.
Emma didn't slow down. As she neared the end, she glanced back to see Clarisse charging at her, assuming she couldn't go anywhere.
When Emma reached the end she jumped forwards and folded herself at the waist, slipping through effortlessly.
Clarisse slamming into the wall was the greatest sound of the summer.
ANNND Thats a wrap!! Ty to @whywhywhy1717 and @Books4ever43 for the idea(s)!!
