Hi guys! Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzah/Lurlinemas! I think that's all. Yeah. Oh wait no. Has anyone ever heard of a website called Shamchat? It's so much fun! Try it! (I'm on there normally as "I Wrote Twist and Shout") (I can assure you, however, I did not.)
The door shut behind me, echoing throughout my cabin. Rodney, Derek, Sam, and Wendy stared at me. *cue O Captain My Captain* "Hi. You know me, I know you, so let's skip that part. I'm here to teach you Greek gods and goddesses, and mythology and stuff. There's not any tests, it's more of a learning process. You're my lab rats." So class began. "So I'm starting with basic stuff. Twelve Olympians."
And that's how we spent the one hour I had. Wendy and Derek picked it up really quickly, Rodney was muttering smart-ass commens under his breath, which I ignored, and Sam was lost entirely. I'd have to work on him. Will came in just as free period began, breathless.
"Nico I need you know."
"Kinky."
"No I mean come on." He pulled me into the infirmary.
"Will what's going on?"
"We had three people with us, not including us and Leo yesterday, on the way to Camp Jupiter, correct?"
"Yes, why?"
An Iris Message glittered. Hazel was at the other end, worried. "Where is she?" He asked, though it was more of a heave.
"Here. What did you say your name was?"
"Rebecca." Someone out of sight said. Rebecca? There's not a Rebecca in camp.
"We don't have a Rebecca."
This is when it all makes sense. All these weird, seemingly unrelated chapters, this is the moment when all the stars align. Why am I quoting Jekyll and Hyde?
She stepped into the message and I knew immediately who it was. I thought I would be angry, furious, I hadn't spoken to her in months. But I felt pity. Pity she had to sneak onto Festus Jr. and pity she wanted to leave.
"Rachat?"
She was scared, and me being there probably only made it worse. "Nico, I-"
"Hazel, send her out." My voice was dry. "We need to discuss this alone."
Rachat left, and I heard a door close. "Nico, you're pale. And shaking. What is with you and this girl?"
"Reasons. Bad, bad reasons."
"Should we send her back or-"
"See if Reyna will let her stay. As long as she wants."
"But-"
"Hazel, do you trust me?"
"Well of course I do but-"
"Do you trust me?" She nodded. "Good. Keep her. I have to go, it's lunch around here, and I'm hungry. Allons-y." I swiped my hand through the message, and my sister disentigrated. DR. WHO. I just was watching and yep I have no filter.
"Do you think she'll be okay?" Will said from behind me.
"Hazel will take care of her."
"But do you think she's coming back? Ever?"
"I don't know."
Okay so yes this is probably my last chapter until Friday. The plot twist tho. I love when things like this happen. None of it makes any sense and then it does.
If that makes sense.
It really doesn't, does it?
Oh well.
Allons-y, (I can't stop saying this)
Satan, Lord of Feels.
