Camp Half-Blood, So-Called The Devil’s Place

  It took several hours to get there but the road was really rough which made Sophie really tired afterwards. After huge mountain and river ways they lastly went through the Camp Half-Blood Forest. Sophie was feeling really bad and dizzy that she started hearing some noise again. Although she was that bad she feared to tell Luna after the fight they had before. She tried her best to continue their way. The voices she was hearing became louder and louder. A wind started blowing, clouds came and cover up the sun. Something was happening around her. Luna seemed like she didn’t notice anything. They kept walking but Sophie wasn’t able to ignore the voices so she changed her tactic and tried to listen and understand what the voices are saying.

  “She is here!”

  “Oh well, we didn’t expect her to come this far. How lucky she is.”

  “ It must be the job of one of the Gods or Goddesses.”

  “ Unfortunately girls, I don’t think like that. First, who would like to help this poor child; secondly, I believe she can survive. Come on, she has the power no one has.”

  These were some of the voices she was hearing.”I could never imagine these kinds of things. Perhaps they are real and I’m not imagining them again but I must understand where they came from. Maybe they can hear me too if I try to talk with them. Also by chance, I may still have my “fairy” powers.” Sophie thought inside herself. She tried to speak with them while they were approaching Camp Half-Blood.

  “Girls, I don’t know whether you hear me or not; I can hear all the things you said about me. They were really kind from you, thank you.”

  “Who on earth is talking to us?!”

  “I thought no one could hear us except Apollo or his oracle.”

  “Well well, I think I know who this is. Say hi to Sophie everyone.”

  “Oh miss, we didn’t meant the things we said. We’re really sorry. Right girls?!”

  “No I’m not, I meant everything I said you so-called angel or fairy. I don’t care what you are at all.”

  “Amanda just shut up, no one needs your unnecessary words at all.”

  “Girls calm down, I thought I was dreaming again so I got involved with your stupid -sorry- gossip. I also want to say I am not a bad person, I just landed here as you all know. I didn’t had any chance to do something good or bad. After I go to Camp Half-Blood and complete my mission which is I don’t know if I’ll be able to, you can judge me however you want. And if there is any frequency that you can use to talk like in radios use it instead of the one that I can hear too. I have a really bad headache and also you wouldn’t want your gossip to be heard, would you? So bye for now and have a good gossip session everyone!”

  After Sophie’s little speech for them they changed their “radio frequency” and continued to gossip there. After a really long way through the forest they arrived at Camp Half-Blood and passed by a really big tree. Luna was walking really confidently while everyone around was looking at them. Some campers were practising climbing a wall, some were duelling with each other. Luna took Sophie to a very big house in the middle of the Camp Half-Blood.

  “This is the Big House. Everything goes on in this house. It’s like the Gods and Goddess council in case you don’t understand.” said Luna. Sophie looked carefully at the house then she heard someone calling her to get out of the way. That was when she got hit by a boy who was coming towards her with winged shoes.

  “Oh, you hammer headed! You just hit a girl. I told you this was on a test and it wasn’t working well.”

  “How come I could know Jules! She suddenly appeared. Hey girl, can you hear us?”

  “What do you expect her to say! Yes I am okay, sorry I appeared. Of course not you dimwit.” said Julius the satyr. Luna was just standing and waiting behind them furiously. They noticed her and at first got scared then asked her what she was doing there. She answered “You two never change, do you? I got her here and she was already sickl and feeling bad. Then you crashed into her with unverified winged shoes. Just get out of the way Theodore !” He answered her fastly “I am not a bad person Luna, just let me help to carry her ‘till the infirmary. I guess you’re tired too so you won’t be able to carry her, am I wrong?” Although Luna was angry she let Theodore carry her since he was right that she was tired too.

  After a few hours Sophie woke up with a curiosity in her face. The last thing she remembered was being hitten by a boy who was standing next to her right now. He has orange-brownish eyes and really dark brown hair. His hair was middle length and a lock of hair fell in front of his eyes. He looked really long, around 6 feet, when he got up where he was sitting to tell the others that she was awake. He was not bad looking but she knew he hit her so she was angry with him and he looked really annoyingly selfish just like Apollo. Luna and a satyr came along and asked if she’s okay. They started introducing themselves. “Um hello, I’m Thedore Hunter but my friends call me Theo so you can say that too. I am really sorry to hit you. I didn't see you were there so…” said Theo. Julius introduced himself too “And I am Julius Rowan but I use Jules instead because of Jules Verne. Of course you know but he is the most magnificent writer in the world and I would like to be like him in the future. Anyways I am really sorry too because Theo crashed into you with the shoes I invented but they were not finished so basically not all my fault but I wanted to say sorry too. Please accept our apologies and can you also introduce yourself-” Luna interrupted him “Okay enough of yapping she doesn’t need your future dreams Jules, she needs to rest. But before that we must go to the Big House.” Sophie was feeling better so she thought she must join this conversation “Hello guys,let’s just think that this has never happened. Anyways my name is Sophie Vivienne I don’t have any nicknames just Sophie. Also I’m feeling much better than before so let’s go to that big Big House Luna.”

  They ahead straight to the Big House. Kheiron was standing in the yard. Sophie and he already knew each other so she wasn’t surprised by his look. When Chiron saw Luna, he looked really amazed after what happened 4 years ago.

  4 years ago

  -Luna, where are you going my little child? Just wait here and let’s talk.

  - No need to talk Chiron. You know I liked you but I can’t bear these people anymore.

  -You loser girl, what a pity for you that the only thing you know is running away. Just like your mother who has built everything on lies..

  Luna lost control after these words and used her powers for them. She set everything on fire and she wasn’t able to control anything she was doing. She was just feeling pure anger and a grudge towards them. Chiron saw her eyes and didn’t even try to stop because her eyes were not hers, they were just like her mothers, Hecate. So many innocent demi-gods were injured or died at that time. Chiron wasn’t so angry but he knew that trying to keep Luna wasn't a good choice so he let her go. Theodore was also there but he was one of the people that bullied her. He had a reason for it which was his father. He was trying to take control of him at that time. So he didn’t know what he was doing. He just hid in a place while all these were going on. She left there immediately after coming back to herself. She went to a cave and never come back again.

  Today

  Chiron remembered everything when he saw Luna. Luckily Luna looked better than that days so there was no need to worry. She became a beautiful girl but she also looked like she still hasn’t lost her temper ever since than.

  “Hi again Chiron.” said Luna while looking callously toChiron. He responded her very quickly but not as cold as her. Sophie was confused about what had happened to them. She made sure that she will learn at the right time but now they must explain the situation to him. “Chiron, I salute you with respect and I would like to talk more with you but unfortunately we have an issue going on right now. I assume we must talk about this inside. I do not want everyone to hear about it.” They went inside after that.

  “ Oh God, she sounds really boring and annoying after that beauty. I don’t understand how someone could become that boring after living with the Gods and Goddesses and everything up there for years. I salute you with respect. What the heck was that though.” said Theodore. He was so curious that he followed them and forced Jules to come with him too. “Theo, just calm down. She might not be so boring, maybe she talked like that because it was Chiron or she is used to talk like that after all the years she spent with Gods and Goddesses and all the creatures.” replied Jules.

  Sophie explained the situation and at some points Luna joined her too. Chironlooked really pensive after hearing these. He was also a bit furious because everything that was happening was from Zeus and his flirts. He was sick of it but he didn’t have a solution because what could he say to the leader of the Gods though. He suggested them to go to the Rachel Elizabeth Dare, the current Oracle of Delphi.

  Rachel was in his cave, panting some picture and listening to some music when they came to her. Sophie knew her from Apollo but they haven’t met personally. Apollo and Rachel sometimes had some talks from Iris’ rainbows. While these talks sometimes Sophie joined them too because she was so bored alone. Rachel saw Sophie and at first he didn’t recognize her, but then she ran into Sophie and hug. “ I never thought we could meet face-to-face Sophie. You are beautiful then you looked before. Glad that you came, would you like to see my new picture?” Then she saw Luna. Rachel didn’t knew her exactly but understood from Luna’s aura that she was Hecate’s daughter. Chiron came after the girls and asked Rachel “There is a new situation like Apollo’s. We need a prophecy and I really hope you have one.” Rachel was confused at first but then she remembered her dream that was exactly the same as this moment. Her eyeballs turned completely white and a smoke came from her mouth. She started floating and talking with a strange voice, saying the new prophecy:

  The girl from pearl, listen to my words

  Life won’t be easy as it used to be

  Experiencing new things won’t be so simple

  So be careful and watch all your steps sweetie

  A God that is forgotten by everyone

  Have to find him and fight him

  Maybe you’ll survive but nothing is sure

  Maybe you’ll fade in darkness nothing is sure

  Four will fight, despite the rules

  Four will go inside three will return

  Will the pearl girl really survive

  We shall see, as the pages turn.
