Mintie is leaving

(Another Skit made by SweetPeppermintLife)

*Mintie and Chiron are talking in the big house while the rest of the demisquid sit outside on the porch anxiously. They think she's getting scolded for accidentally cutting off another camper's finger during sword practice, but it's much worse than that.*

Chiron: Mintie Allen! You cannot just leave camp! Your life and the rest of your co-pilots are in danger!

Mintie: But you don't get it Chiron! This is my family we're talking about! The woman that conceived me and raised me for fifteen years! I can't just let her die in the midsts of war!

Chiron: Don't you understand that if you go too you'll go down with her! I know you're professionally trained and have your flying license, but I can't let you go in the air! You know how Zeus is!

Mintie: But-

Chiron: ENOUGH! You will not be leaving camp and that's final!

*A minute of silence*

Mintie: *quietly seethes* watch me

~outside~

Flora: I wonder what's taking them so long?

James: Yea, Mintie's normally very straight to the point. Then again, how much can two people talk about cutting another person's finger off?

Ebony: Y-yea. Maybe something else is going on in there...

Ansel: Like What? Mintie isn't a bad person, she couldn't possibly get a lashing from Chiron. What do you think Shady?

Shady: *sitting on the steps of the porch, she turns around to face Ansel* Hmm... I don't know, maybe it's to do with-

*Shady cuts herself off when Mintie slams the door of the big house open, storming towards the Ares cabin with an angry look on her face. The rest don't even get to chase her back before she come out a few minutes later carrying a duffel bag and wearing casual clothes.*

Aqua: M-Mintie? Where are you going? *runs up halfblood hill after her with the rest of the demisquad*

Shady: Mintie Allen! Give us an explanation as to why you're just leaving camp in the middle of a term!

Mintie: You guys should go back to your training, it's better for you and me

Ebony: Just tell us already! What's so bad that you can't-

Mintie: I'M LEAVING OKAY! I'm leaving camp to attend to some unfinished business with my family.

Flora: That's not so bad, why are you so angry though?

Mintie: Because Chiron thinks I'm going to kill myself in doing so!

Shady: *flashback*

Shady: *sitting on the riverbed with Mintie* So, how did your mom and Ares meet?

Mintie: Well, my mum met Ares ages ago when he appeared in camp when she was just a little girl, but they really met when she was in the military. She's a nurse on veteran ships

Shady: *End of flashback*

Shady: No... you're not enlisting... are you?

Mintie: I- *sigh* My mom needs help, and I'm the only one who's bothered enough to give her a hand. I'm sorry guys, but there's no choice. I won't be back for a long time, so just focus on your own lives and forget about me for the time being. *walks down the hill and hops in a conveniently-placed taxi that's stopped on the side of the road.*

James: Enlisting? What is she talking about Shady?

Flora: Mintie's going to war, isn't she?

James: There's a war? Why didn't we know? We need to suit up and-

Ansel: No James, she's not with other demigods this time. She's fighting in a mortal war, for her mother and alongside other humans.

Shady: No. I don't... I don't believe it. She can't just leave me, not like the rest of them *Shady slowly starts crying, before sinking down onto her knees, the rest of her friends going over and giving each other a group hug. Most of them are tearing up by now.*

Ebondy: *pats Shady's back softly* I-It's okay S-Shady, w-we'll see her again s-someday.

Ansel: Wait... Do you think Felix knows about this?

~later that evening at Camp Jupiter...~

*everyone is in the dining hall, celebrating the 4th rank's win of war games*

Reyna: Congratulations Romans of the fourth rank, you've shown logical thinking and well-planned battle strategies! *everyone cheers for them*

*The door of the dining room slams open, revealing Hazel and Jason with Shady, Ansel and James with them.*

Frank: Shady? Ansel? James? What are you guys doing here?

Fe: Oh hey guys! Where's the rest of your friends?

Ansel: Back at camp, except for Mintie...

Ella: Where is she? Did she go into Manhattan?

Shady: No, she-... sh-she's gone t-to enlist i-in t-the a-air f-force... *tries not to tear up*

Fe: No... She told me she wouldn't... She promised me! *slams his fists down on the table*

James: We're sorry Felix, we came to know if you had any idea of her history with the military.

Ella: Yes, she's been training to get her fighter jet license since she was seventeen.

Fe: She's reckless like that, that's why she never stays at camp during the holidays.

Ansel: Does... Does Peter know?

Peter: *walks up from behind Fe* Does Peter know what? Hey guys! *smiles at the three greeks*

Fe: *quietly explains the situation, making Peter's face fall and his eyes well with tears*

Peter: Wait, you're joking, right? This isn't real, she can't just leave like that... can she?

James: Sorry man, we tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to us.

*the room goes silent as they try to take in the fact that a demigod has enlisted in the military, fighting alongside mortals of all beings. Fe, Ella and one of the older campers, Mason, engulf Peter in a hug as he cries into Fe's shoulder. That was a sad and shocking day for everyone, and no demigod hadn't felt the iminent presence of death sometime soon*
