Chapter 10 (sorry for not posting regularly to my -5 followers [whoo!])

As we ran, the guttural (and sorta pathetic) roars of Luke the madman silenced. Almost as he wasn't near us. 

The forest had changed from what it was like in the camp as well. Strange.

Trees were rustling eerily. Crickets could be heard screeching in the distance. And what was that shadow?

“W-w-where are we?” Bree nervously stuttered. She was out of breath from being eaten alive by the idiot.

“I don’t know and I don't like it” I said grabbing Bree and Julia’s hands and turning back.

And I bumped into the... perfect, chisled abs of... LUKE?

“WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME YOU CUNT!”

Luke looked confused. “Wait, what the heck are you doing...” His eyes flashed with anger. “Why you little...”

“What? Want to punch a girl? How bout you punch that little slut of yours?” I retorted. “Honestly, I bet you scared her into fucking YOU.”

He turned around and walked. Pathetic little beast. Can’t even think of a good comeback.

“Hey! Come back you pathetic chunk of useless meat!” I realized that everyone else was eerily quiet. I looked behind. My friends weren't there!

How dare they leave me with this predator?

“Huh? Where is everyone?” Luke said looking around. He turned to glare at me. “Am I really stuck with YOU.” He leaned against a tree and crossed his muscular arms, while scowling at me.

“Where are we?” My eyes flitted around nervously. I feel like I will do something stupid if i stay with him.(like confess my love to the gorgeous senpai of a guy Luke... what no I don’t like him). “Look, I don't want to be stuck with YOU either.”

“Right, sure you don’t like me.” He rolled his eyes. THE NERVE.

“I don’t.”

“Are you sure.” He said looking at me menacingly. He paused for a second and in one smooth move he peeled off his shirt to reveal a set of olive, chiseled abs, muscular chest, and a hunk of a man.”

It took me a moment for me to register that I was staring (and drooling). “Umm...” I said wiping my drool. “Luke, I’m lesbian.”

His eyes widened with surprise. “Uh...umm...uh...” He stuttered. He awkwardly put his shirt back on and turned away.

The thing is, he didn't notice my cheeks blushing...or my hard tits.

[omgwhyamiugly]

Chapter 9

I just...didn’t know what to do. I mean, how would you react if it turned out you were some illegal  child? I also felt quite uncomfortable in a dress.

“Ummm...ok?” I looked around for anything to kill me. Right then. 

Chiron bowed down, followed by the other campers and hunters. “All hail Leela, first-”

“And ONLY.” Artemis glared, daring for anyone to contradict her.

“-daughter of Artemis.”

All the hunters glanced awkwardly at Artemis. “SLUT” their minds seemed to screamed.

Artemis walked over to Chiron. “Chiron would you mind taking care of the Hunters?” she walked away into the woods without receiving an answer.

“Wow, I never knew I was this much of a disappointment.” I muttered, looking down.

“No, no, it’s not your fault Leela. Artemis is just hating herself for being less careful.” Chiron reassured.

Then why do I feel like it’s my fault.

“Wow.” Bree said. “Daughter of Artemis eh?”

“Sounds cooler than it is.” I replied. I stopped “First of all, why my DAD? Out of ALL the hot and hunky men in this goddamn universe, why my FREAKING DAD?”

“I’ve never seen your dad so I can’t comment.” Bree replied.

“No, I can tell Artemis isn’t about looks and shit, but my dad is the least likely to be hanging round in the woods, hunting a wild animal. I doubt he has even seen moonlight since the middle ages.”

“Well-”

Just then Luke and his retarded gang walked to us. “Hey, look, it’s the UGLY, unwanted child.” Luke’s attempt at a roast is quite humorous.

“At least my Godly parent isn’t a manslut who got fucked by a million ladies and men,” I squinted at him. “And I’m sooooo glad my godly parent does NOT have babyish anger issues.”

“Um, if it’s Ares you’re talking about, he is the dominant partner. Always.” 

“Really? Whatever you say son of a bitch.” I turned away. “Oh and that insult was also insulting your godly parent” I honestly can't think of anything.

As I turned around, a huge pair of burly hands grabbed my neck. “BITCH! TAKE THAT FUCKING BACK YOUR MOM IS THE REAL BITCH!”

“TAKE WHAT BACK? THE FUCKING TRUTH!” I yelled. “ALSO PLEASE TURN YOUR UGLY ASS SHIT-FACE AWAY, YOU HAVE THE SORT OF FUCKING FACE THAT DRIES UP MY VAGINA!” I then proceeded to kick his non-existent dick.

He let out a tiny squeal and dropped me. I grasped my neck while gasping for air. Yikes, that hurt. He was grabbing his dick, which seemed to be in so much pain. 

Good.

Then me, Bree and Julia ran as fast as we could into the woods. Ain’t dealing with that shit, ever.

[omgwhyamiugly]

Chapter 8

      I broke the silence first. “Am I supposed to know what that...means?” Bree looked at me like an idiot.

     “I CANT BELIEVE IT!” Orion roared. Cue to run back to camp. “CURSE YOU ARTEMIS! YOU VIRGIN SLUT!”

     Ohhhhkay?

      I dragged Julie and Bree, as I have some weird forest navigating abilities, yeah I don't know either.

     Julie and Bree screamed while I dragged them. Luckily we reached the camp in time, just before an giant arrow sailed above us. Guttural roars shook the forest.

     We ran in the middle of our archery lesson (It would’ve been my first one but...). Everyone looked at us. “Where have you guy been?” Chiron (the teacher) questioned. 

     “Orion was in the woods. Looking for Artemis.” Chiron raised his eyes.

     Bree nodded. “And I think I know who Leela’s Godly Parent is.” She turned to me and smiled sadly.

     Orion burst into the camp and smiled. “I can't believe it.” He laughed. “Aeons of rejecting me! And she bowed down to some disgusting mortal.” He didn't take his eyes of me.

     “Aeons of making a feminist image, and suddenly she sleeps a mortal man.” He shook his head. “Pathetic.”

     I stared at him. “What?”

     He used his high-tech bow to knock an arrow at me. I ducked.

    “Stop right there Orion.” A female voice boomed. 

     A Hunter. I’ve heard of these people. They hunt with Artemis, and if the myths were correct, Orion was part of the Hunters.

     Many more Hunters gathered around her. She knocked an arrow while another Hunter stabbed Orion in the thigh. 

     “GAH!” He screamed as the Hunter stabbed him, and unfortunately ducked in time. “Artemis, you’re not a maiden anymore.”

     The Hunter who knocked the arrow screamed. “SHUT UP!” She knocked another arrow at him. He kicked the hunter who stabbed him and ran to avoid it. 

     “HOW DID YOU DENY ME? ME?! FOR A PATHETIC MORTAL?!” He roared as he knocked an arrow at her.

     “What is happening?” Chiron asked.

     “I don’t know.” I shrugged.

     “YOU FUCKING SLUT! YOU WHORE!” He yelled while the Hunter knocked more arrows. While Orion was getting carried away with his insult, the Hunter finally hit him. “You broke your oath.” He laughed before he turned into golden poof. Silence. 

     “Hold on, what just happened.” I asked, turning to the Hunter.

     Just then, a silver-y ball of flame with a moon, bow and arrow on it shone above my head. My clothes turned into a white, silver glittery knee length chiton, my hair grew till it was mid back length and braided, looking like it was woven with real moonlight. A sash appeared, equipped with a hunting knife and a bow was strapped across my torso.

     “I am Artemis,” the Hunter stated. 

     “And I am your mother.” She said sadly.

[omgwhyamiugly]

Chapter 7

     Me and Julia were in the same pegasus-riding club.

     That’s right. Pegasus riding. This camp is fucking awesome!

     I like animals. Preferably wild ones, they match my untamable personality, only being tamed with nice people.

    Pegasi are the same size as horses, except they have wings. I don’t know if we have to sign some contract to insure ourselves, but whatever. 

    “I LOVE horse riding. You don’t need any eenglish for this, so I like it.” Julia smiled.

     “Right. I guess you don’t care about dangers.” I said.

     “Ay, my mama is Hebe, so I heal faster.” she seemed quite calm. “Why you so paranoid. You not scared, are you?”

     “I have no fears Julia. Fears are for pussies.”

     “Oh, Leela, all people have fears, just like all people love. Some have less that others, some have more.” she turned to me. “You must have at least 1 fear.” I shook my head. “Ghosts? Monsters? Twins?” I shook my head. 

     “Twins?”

     “Don’t ask Leela, I am just going to say that Colombia can drill fears into your head.” she shuddered. Right.

     “Julia, would you like to ride first?” Butch, the pegasi instructor asked.

     “Si! Por Favor!” She jumped up and down with glee, her boobs also bouncing with her.

     Julia demonstrated it for us, and after a few loops a few young campers started to get dizzy.

     “Nice work Julia.” Butch’s eyes followed her. Now I’m not any Aphrodite demigod or shit, but imma say that Butch likes Julia.

     Now, why isn’t that sitting well in me? 

     “Great, who wants to go first?” When no one volunteered, he picked on me. “Fine, newbie, you go first.”

     I shrugged. “Sure, why not.”

    He seemed surprised that I was ok, but allowed me to go.

    I chose a caramelly-yellow colored pegasus named Buttercup. “Now, you have to hold on the the-”

     “Yeah yeah whatever.” I said, cutting him off. I honestly do NOT care about health and safety, bitch. “Mush!” I said as the horse lifted off. Luke and Pree, who were together, sniggered. I guess ‘Mush’ is only for huskies, not horses.

     I guess Butch’s health and safety talk was important, because as soon as the horse lifted off, I wobbled a bit, on the verge of falling. 

     “Ok little shit.” I said to the horse. “Let’s be better than the rest!” The horse sped up and that’s when I toppled off the horses back.

     Fuck.

     I held on tightly, and tried to climb back up. I heard Julia scream like a maniac. “LEELA! HOLD ON! ARE YOU OKAY?”

     “Nah mate I’m fine! Just chilling here.” You might get the impression that I’m screaming, but having no fears kind of keeps you on the calm side.

     Out of the corner of my eye I saw Butch mounting a pegasus and preparing to fly. That’s when I finally got back on the damn horse’s back on descended. 

     “Oh MY god Leela!” she grabbed me and inspected my body. “You could’ve gotten dead!” she pulled me into a hug. 

     Why is my whole body heating up?

     “Oh MY god Julia, it is FINE! Jesus!” i said exasperated, pushing her away. 

     Butch walked over. “You SHOULD’ve listened to me you little....” He said sneering.

     “Whatever.”

     He shook his head (in defeat). “Luke, you’re next.” Butch called out.

     “OK.” He turned to face me. “At least I’m not stupid enough to not put the saddle on properly.” he and Pree smirked.

     “Yeah yeah we get it, you’re a horse nerd.” I said shooing him away. He sneered.

     Yeah and he rode perfectly. That little bitch.

     After lunch, Julia, Aubrianne (I call her Bree now) and I head to the forest. “So...you almost died today?” Bree asked.

     “Yeah, no biggie.” I paused. “Just like Luke’s dick.” 

     Bree snorted. “Well THAT was random. But true.”

     “Why you hate Luke so much.” Julia asked. “He is so cute!”

     “And mean.” I added. “And a dickhead, and a manslut, and a player and-”

     “Basically he’s a basic jock.” Bree finished.

     “AND he took my sis away...soooo yeah.” I choked back a sob. Pree has become such a bitch. Like...Paris Hilton bitch. Like...Kim Kardashian bitch.

     Julia stopped, her face filled with fear. “What happened Julia.” We followed her gaze. 

     It was a giant.

    Bree screamed. “Calm down everybody!” I said. “We have protection all around us.” And also death would be a nice change.

     The Giant laughed. “Yes calm down! I am not going to harm you pesky camper.” He looked around, almost searching for something. “I’m just merely trying to kill a...certain goddess.”

     The Giant was quite...hot actually.

     Sure he was taller than your average basketball player, 10 feet tall, and very ripped, like he goes to the gym like 3 times a day. He was holding a bow and arrow.

     Bree spoke up. “You’re...Orion!” her eyes widened. “He’s after Artemis!” 

     “Like I said, I’m not going to harm you. So off you go.” He said shooing us away.

     I scrunched my eyebrows. Wait. “How are you in here anyway? I though monsters can’t enter the camp.” 

     He turned to me. “What camp?” He looked closer. “Wait...the Artemis scent I’ve been following was...you?”

[omgwhyamiugly]

Chapter 6

     I’ve had 5 activities with Lexi and Pree THIS WEEK and I’m already going nuts.

     They gossip, sneer and snigger at people who aren't as pretty as they are. WOOOWWW. 

     Now I’m at athletics and they're laughing as if we were failing on purpose. I don't know why they laugh, when they’re not good themselves. I mean, Pree loses breath quickly, like, SUPER quickly, and Lexi runs like a prissy. Hypocrites much?

     Anyway, an Athena kid, Aubrianne, tripped and fell on her face. Pree and Lexi burst into giggles in front of her. Luke joined in, pretending to keep it secret. Aubrianne pretended not to notice and continued, but her face was bright red. “Like you guys can run.” I yelled, imitating Lexi’s pathetic run.

     Both glared and turned their head, before gossiping again. Wow, Pree has REALLY become a bitch, huh?

     Aubrianne smiled at me as she came back. Thanks! She mouthed. I smiled back.

     It was my turn, and Pree and Lexi were getting ready to make fun of me. Jokes on them. I’m the school’s best cross-country and sprinter. Pree doesn't know, or care though. 

     The bad thing about having big boobs is that it REALLY gets in the way of your sports. I always have to wear 2 sports bras to run, or else hells loose in my bra.

     The instructor, a Nike camper called Holly Victor (Very fitting), said “GO!” and I sprinted really fast. I couldn't see my surroundings as they were a blur! I finished 4 laps in 5 minutes (RECORD BITCHES!) and my spectators looked at me in awe. Lexi and Pree’s mouths were wide open, also Luke’s. 

     I smiled, as a few sweat beads ran down my temples. Aubrianne’s eyes were wide, as she took in my speed. “W...W...What was that!” 

     “Yeah, I’m good at athletics.” I said. “I’m sorry about how those bitches treated you. You were really good!”

     “You’re WAYYY better. You were like the freaking wind!” she exclaimed. “Hey, isn’t Pree your sister?”

     “Not anymore she’s not. I aint taking that piece of fucking bitch shit back.” I kept my cool.”

     She looked at me in sympathy. “Hey, wanna sit with me and Hoolia?”

     “Sure.” What kind of name was “Hoolia”. 

     We walked back to the cabins together.

     Turns out “Hoolia” is actually spelled Julia. 

     Julia is a colombian Hebe camper. Her “eenglish” isn't the best, and she seems quite timid, but she’s really pretty.

     “Ay,” (Which probably meant “hi”, since “h” isn't pronounced in spanish.) “You were the girl who got the...” she clicked her fingers trying to find the write word. “...flag! in 5 minutos!” She seemed ecstatic. “That was muy exelente!” she exaggerated each word.

     “¡Gracias!” I said. 

     My camp friends were the nerdiest, sassiest and funniest bitches I’ve met. Aubrianne was nerdy, with wavy honey blond hair and deep grey eyes, and was skinny and tall, like about 5′7. Julia had straight, long, dark brown hair and onyx eyes, and was voluptuous, like me. And also like me, they both had nerdy hipster glasses. Oh yeah, I feel like we’re going to get picked on soon.

     Let them.

[omgwhyamiugly]

Chapter 5

     Everyone is still congratulating me over my 5 minute capture the flag victory. Even Carmelita, the hispanic popular girl. (She pretty)

     Unfortunately Pree hasn't come anywhere near me so...

     Anyway, I headed to sword fighting class. 

     Turns out the instructor was none other than...Luke. Ugh.

     Also, I had sword fighting the same time as Lexi, Pree and Britany, Lexi’s ‘BFF’. They spent the whole lesson gossiping while Lexi PDA’d with Luke.

     “Ugh, those bitches better keep it down.” A curly brown haired boy came up to me. Uh-oh, weirdo alert.

      “Yeah, I know...right?” I said awkwardly. “What’s...your name.”

     He faced me, with a hurt expression. “Apollo. Oh wait!” he guffawed “I’m not a god anymore. Oops.” He seemed sad.

     “So, you're like the god of medicine and the sun and...many more?” I looked up. No, the sun was still there. “How come...?”

     He looked up as well. “Yeah. I still don't know.”

     “Ok class, let’s start with a new year duel!” Luke announced. “Dyl-weed, you up first.” An equally hot guy stood up. 

     Dylan was the typical californian male. His undercut blonde hair and green eyes made all the straights and lesbians swoon. And of course, he must have high standards in a girl. 

     “K Luke.” They started sword fighting each other. It was INTENSE.

     We all had to have a go. I quickly moved up ranks (I was strangely and scarily good with knives) and I eventually had to fight Dylan. He looked bored and uninterested in me, and started chatting up Lexi and her gang. They giggled.

     I felt embarrassed. Here I was, looking unwanted. Being unwanted. Again. 

     He has to lose. He has to know how it feels to be embarrassed. 

     2 minutes later and I wiped the floor with his ass. 

     Dylan was on his butt, with my sword tip placed under his chin. His sea-green eyes were wide, with sweat dripping from his brows. His perfect jaw was open slightly in a surprise. (Btw I’m still gay, I think)

     “H-how...how...?” He looked at me. 

     “2 FUCKING MINUTES!” Luke yelped. Dylan looked scared. Very scared. 

      Yay!

      Everyone looked at us once Dylan said that. I pulled my sword away and he stood up warily, glancing at me to make sure I won’t attack. I HATE boys. And I absolutely HATE vain ones.

     Luke looked at me too. His olive skin glistened with sweat from playing with Sherman, his fellow Ares brother. His mahogany colored eyebrows was raised. I looked around and everyone was staring at me.

     “Ummm, I’ve never really used a sword, but I like it!” I said, suddenly being interested in the dangerous object.

     Luke shook his head. “Uhh, campers, go back to doing what you were doing. Leela, you’re against me.”

     Unfortunately, Luke was more experienced. Either that or his attractiveness- NO NO NO. It was DEFINITELY his skill. (cough) But I eventually beat him. “Wow, that was good.” Luke said, dazed. “And I’m experienced.” he added.

     “I’m sorta good with knives.” I shouldn't have said that because he looked at me like a thug. 

     “Okayyy? Whatever.” He seemed bored, then turned to the others. “End of lesson”

     He walked over to Dylan, where the popular girls joined them. Britany skipped ahead, while Luke but his arm round Lexi. Then...Dylan did the same to Pree, who looked at him like he was a God. They laughed and walked away. Not even glancing at me, who was still there.

     Pree is dating Dylan. The same Dylan who was ignoring me. And she knew it.

     Why can’t I just have my sister back. Why can’t I be pretty.

     Tears filled my eyes. No. I CANNOT cry. I ran to the first place I could think of.

     Why am I not pretty? WHY AM I NOT PRETTY? I whispered my whole run to the forest. Why why WHY? Why am I SO AKWARD! ARGHH!

     I slumped against a tree and wept. Why can’t I be pretty? Why can’t boys judge me from my personality?

     WHY AM I NOT PRETTY? 

     Eventually it became an order.

     All my life, I’ve been treated differently because of my ethnicity. I’m Indian. So what? So FUCKING what.

     This issue of racism will continue in the future as well. Colleges prefer whites over ethnics. Jobs prefer whites over ethnics.

     Racism is all around us. There is no escape. 

     I have always needed to work twice as hard in...EVERY-FUCKING-THING! I always needed to get higher marks than my peers, work twice as hard, and this continues on to socializing. I’m insanely humorous due to me working hard to get friends.

     Our world is more ahead than we’ve ever expected. We’re accepting the LGBT community, so how come we haven’t overcome racism and basing things on looks?

     Whatever. 

     As darkness spread the sky, I went back to the pavilion to have dinner.

[omgwhyamiugly]

Chapter 4

     Ok, honestly I wasn't THAT surprised. Pree was naturally attractive, and with makeup and that Aphrodite magic shit on, she looked like some untouchable goddess. Her figure is perfect and probably the most popular 13 year old out there. 

     I honestly felt like I was in the shadow of my sister. She was gorgeous, I was not. She was outgoing, I was not. All the boys were after her, none of the genders are after me. 

     Even DAD like her better than me. 

     He seemed more proud to say that Pree was his daughter, than say the same to me. He always frowned at me. You may say that trouble addiction is the cause of that, but my dad’s favoritism may have caused my issue. 

     “Hail Preeti, the daughter of Aphrodite!” Chiron announced. Everyone bowed. I looked up to see if a glowing pink ball was above me as well. There was nothing but the moon high up in the sky. The strange thing was it was directly above me, which wasn't right as it was about 8pm.

     I was confused. Why wasn’t I being claimed.

     Everyone seemed to smirk and taunt me. The ugly has a beauty sister! Genetics hasn't been great on her has it? I felt ridiculed.

     Also the fact that I haven't been claimed yet kind of implies that my mum doesn't want me. 

     I’m fine though. I used to the feeling of unwantedness.

     After the campfire, Pree joined Luke and his girlfriend and their gang; the camp populars. Luke’s hot and popular girlfriend kept on looking over and sneering. I was too ugly for them I guess. 

     The sad thing is, Preeti didn’t even look back.

     13 years of sticking together, and she’s left me without a blink of an eye. Ouch.

     Since I was still unclaimed, I had to join the Hermes cabin and sleep there.

     I’ve heard that Hermes was the god of thieves, so I guess I better take care of my stuff. Which was only my phone I sneaked in as I lost the other things in the Cyclops chase (Note to self: go back to pick up my sports bra. I will definitely need it soon. #bigtittycommittee). We’re not allowed phones in camp. 

     One of the campers, Cecil, showed me my bed. “If you need anything, call me.” His smirk made me want to run my bed through the metal detector.

     After patting down the bed, I slept, hoping to not get woken before 11am.

     We had breakfast in the dining pavilion. I had cereal and juice. I wasn't hungry. Cecil and Alice (the other Hermes camper) looked at me weird. “That’s all you gonna eat? No egg, bread or bacon?”

     “Well, this is a camp right, and we’re going to be doing activities or shit, so I might as well have a light breakfast. And also, I’m vegan, except for milk.”

     “How can you LIVE! Bacon is...like... life!” Cecil exclaimed. “Is that, like an Indian thing.”

     “Uhh, I’m not religious,” (I HATE it when people automatically think I’m hindu when I’m actually a muslim.) “and I like animals too much.” They seemed surprised at my love towards animals and veganism. Maybe it’s my wide stature that’s tipping them off. 

     Oh come on, I’m not that fat, am I? I’m only a size 10. And that’s perfectly fine considering my 5′6 height.

     “Uhh, Ok. Since it’s Friday, we will be playing capture the flag. Do you have any magical weapons.”

     I though I didn't hear them right. “Weapons?”

     They nodded. “I didn't think so. Come with us.” Travis (the Hermes head councillor) beckoned. 

     They led me to a simple wooden shed. I hope the weapons weren't as crap as the thing protecting it. 

     And...I was wrong! There were all types of weapons, daggers, swords, bow and arrows, clubs etc! “Why are they all bronze? Isn’t there silver or whatever?”

     “It’s made of celestial bronze. Deadly to demigods and monsters. Harmless to humans.” Travis explained.

     “So, isn’t someone going to get killed if we use these?”

     “If we kill someone, you get a punishment.”

     “What punishment?”

     “No dessert for one week.” Right.

     “Oh shit, better keep it together.” I said sarcastically.

     “It’s more serious to us than you think.”

     “At least those deaths are justified.”

     We headed to the field. I had a nice dagger that was...really pointy. Sorry, had no way to describe it. It was just a simple bronze dagger. (*sigh)

     “You know the rules! The first team to get the flag wins.” a guy with a huge beer belly said. Apparently is was ‘the great Dionysus’. Like the wine, play and Gender Dysphoria god. Honestly I expected more than a fat guy in a tropical Bermuda shorts.

     I was on a team with the Apollo, Hecate, Tyche, Hephaestus, Hypnos, and Athena group and a few more. The other cabins formed a team together. My sister was on the other team, with Luke, who was one of Ares’ son. Ugh.

     Pree seemed happy in her new group. She wasn’t sad, and didn't even look in my direction. I better win this game. I better wipe that disgusting smug look from BOTH of their faces. 

     We set up our flag in a remote part of the forest. I was attack since I was a good cross-country runner. I LOVE capture the flag. 

     I looked around in the forest. I felt...at home. Weird. It felt so comfortable. My body felt at peace for one. It was...nice.

     I eyed Angus and waved at him. He looked and smiled, and waved back. I didn't want to be in the opposite team as him. He seemed...strategic.

     “GO!” Dionysus shouted. It was my signal. I ran to my left out of the clearing and sprinted forward a few paces, and noticed another clearing. I hid behind a tree and looked around. There was a blue flag on top of a rock pile. 

     Huh? I though I just left my flag? How did I end up behind the other team’s flag area? Whatever.

     I sprinted and climbed the pile. I pulled the flag out. “HEY!” Someone shouted. It was Luke’s girlfriend, Miss Slutty. 

     I tried sprinting away. She cowardly screamed “NEWBIE’S TAKING OUR FLAG! LUKE BABE COME HERE QUICK!” instead of chasing me. Idiot.

     I looked back and saw Luke charging my way. I ran into the forest and didn’t look back.

     I reached another clearing. I was behind our flag area. Huh? That’s strange. I would’ve had to gone in a U-turn AT LEAST for that to happen. All I did was run straight a few steps and...I reached here. What is going on. 

     I yelled “I GOT THE FLAG!” 

     Everyone’s eyes were wide. There were a few blue team members. People muttered “What?” “We just started the game!” “How?” 

     “Looks like we have a winner!” Chiron said shocked, trying for a smile. “That was the fastest game we’ve ever had. Only about 5 minutes.”

     My confused but happy team members hauled me up in their shoulders and cheered. 

     They carried me till the camp, where the blue team were standing. Most of the popular girls were on that team, and they kept looking my direction and whispering. Pree seemed happy for me, and tried to get my attention, but I ignored her. Fuck her. I’m going to ignore her as much as I do to Daadi after she rejected me.

     Angus came my way. “Whoah! That was cool! You got the flag in 5 minutes! How?”

     I shrugged. “Honestly, even I don't know. I LEGIT ran a few paces forward and reached behind their flag. Did the same thing coming back. No curves, turns or anything. I didn’t even run far, only about 5 meters.”

     He looked at me, confused. Then shook his head. “Whatever. Let’s celebrate.”

     I looked back at the blue team, and saw my little sister, sad and worried, looking at me. Luke’s girlfriend, apparently called Lexi, pulled her in and they started gossiping. 

     Tears started pooling in my eyes. I just lost my sister.

[omgwhyamiugly]

Chapter 3

     Ok, I caught up on past (and surprisingly recent) event. I remember that huge shitstorm that turned out to be Typhon. 

     I met Chiron, and turns out he is a partially disabled old person and not a tall and energetic Centuar.

     “Wait, aren’t you supposed to be... a centaur?” Naïve me asked.

     “I am, but I like to rest in this position.”

     “Uhhh, ok?”

     I have just watched the gory (but awesome) orientation film with Pree. Pree freaked out a little, but her mind was ridden with fantasies of Luke. “Oh Leela! He is just so PERFECT!” she babbled, “He is hunky, he is hot-”

     “Yeah and 4 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU! Come on Pree, I know guys like that, and he’s probably gonna use you and then dump you in the trash.”

    “No Leela, I know him. He is SUCH a gentleman!” She continues, but she seemed a bit more wary.

     Anyway, by the time we got there, it was almost dinner, so we head to the pavilion. It was a simple wooden building, made from olive, like what you would see in a camp, but the TRUELY magical thing about it is the plates. You can just wish for your food of desire to appear in the plate. It was awesome. I had a tofu salad. 

     Another fun Leela fact: I’m vegetarian. Actually vegan, but I have dairy products. I HATE egg (Fancy having a fetus for breakfast? Not appetizing is it?) and meat just...makes me sad. I LOVE animals. I HATE eating them. 

     We then headed to the amphitheater. It was a big open theatre, like the ones in Greece and Italy, but more newer. The seats weren't chipped off, and it looked freshly painted. It was average sized because there were a small amount of kids. In the middle there was a big campfire. I felt at...home.

     I looked up at the sky. Black, but glistening with jewels of the sky, and occasionally a shooting one. It looked magical and unpolluted, unlike the LA and New York air. It was natural. I felt a pang of sadness. People are destroying nature for their greedy needs. I hated it.

     I felt ashamed to be human. Imagine all the animals out there, dying due to our lack of respect. 

     Oh...Mah God, too much emotion.

     Chiron went up to the stage. “Welcome heroes. Today, we have received two more campers.” everyone eyed us. “They have not been claimed, but one of them is above the age of 13.” I felt like it was my fault I was 15. 

     Like calm your ass Mr Centuar.

     Pree stood up. “Do we get to know who our mom is or not?”

     Just then, above Pree’s head started glowing pink. I looked closer and noticed there was a Dove figure. Not weird at all. But it did look pretty. Suddenly, her dress switched to a pink chiton (a greek flowing dress for girls) and she had makeup on and her hair was tied in a loose braid. Oh wait. 

     OH SHIT NO!

     Preeti has been claimed by the goddess of Pretty. 

     (Aphrodite you dumbfucks.)

Chapter 2

     I know what this creature is. It’s a Cyclops. Known in greek mythology as blacksmiths of the gods... or whatever. Shit. I think it’s out to get me.

     “PREE! PREE! COME HERE NOW!” I yelled. I never get scared. Ever. I have no fears. I know, I know, fears are what makes you human. I guess I’ve always knew that the only reason why you get scared is because you think you’ll die. So what I think is that we all are going to die anyway, so who cares if we die now? 

     I know, I’m messed up. 

     Anyway, Pree came crashing down as I packed stuff for both of us. I packed my phone, extra clothes and underwear and bras, and took my dad’s spare car keys. Then I ran down the emergency stairs with Pree. Good thing I do cross country AND sprints.

     Pree was terrified the whole way. I tried to explain it to her, but she was to scared to understand. I heard a crash for below. Shit shit holy shit.

     We eventually reached the basement (after 14 FUCKING STAIRS! GODDAMN YOU BIG HOTEL.) I got to dad’s BMW and started it on. I’m on my learner’s permit, so I know how to drive, sort of. I just need someone with me. I hope a 13 year old counts.

     As I started the car, the wall near the lobby collapsed. The cyclops stared at me, smiling manically. I pushed the pedal and headed straight for the exit. 

     The barrier was closed, so I had to smash through it. Sorry dad and maintenance guy!

     I was going up to 100 km/h, but unfortunately NY traffic is TEDIOUS! The cyclops was catching up to us. That thing may be huge, but it was also fast. It was like a huge bowling ball. With one eye.

     The Cyclops smashed it’s club (where did it get that from?) on our car.

      Pree screamed even MORE. “WHAT IS THAT THING!” 

     “A cyclops” 

     “THAT’S NOT NORMAL LEELA!”

     “Actually in greek mythology, it is.”

     She was too terrified to answer.

     The Cyclops jumped and held on tightly to our car. Dang it.

     “I WILL GET YOU MORTALS NOW!” it boomed.

     “Get off you hairy neanderthal! And this is coming from an Indian!” I yelled. I looked outside, and many people didn't notice the GIANT ONE EYED DEMON ON TOP OF OUR CAR COME ON NEW YORK DON’T TELL ME YOU’VE SEEN SOME THING WORSE- wait don’t answer that.

     But seriously, is New York THIS dangerous? LA is MUCH better.

     I continued on till I reached the South shore. It seems like the monster is leading us there.

     Just then, the engine exploded. “WHAT! That is not supposed to happen!” I yelled.

     We crashed into the forest. Pree was still sobbing. “We’re going to be OK, Pree, don't worry.”

     She tried to stop, but she couldn't. “Sorry Leels, I w-w-wish I could be brave like you.” 

     I was too distracted to answer. “GET OUT NOW PREE!” We jumped out. It exploded.

     “HA HA HA! YOU WILL BE MY NEXT MEAL HIDDEN DEMIGODS!” He...boomed. How is he not breathless? We literally went from New York City to Long Island South. 

     “You will never get us, let alone eat us!” I yelled. “You’re brain is not worthy for us smart chicks!”

     The Cyclops growled. It charged. I pushed Pree aside and started running. 

     A voice that wasn't the Cyclops yelled “Come here! Quickly!” I looked at the person who said that. It was a guy, teen obviously, who was tall and good looking. Ugh.

     I dragged Pree and ran. I ran past the guy. The guy ran towards the Cyclops and started attacking him. Another guy, taller but less muscular, ran towards as well. They got him fast, well, faster than your average SWAT team could kill a monster.

    "Wait, do people get... uhm.. chased by a cyclops all the...time?” I asked.

    The guy took one look at me and rolled his eyes. Of course, I was too ugly for those eyes. He shrugged. “Yeah.” he said. His voice was deep and sexy. I momentarily fantasized those pink lips pressing against my- OMG! QUESTIONING MY SEXUALITY. 

     He turned to look at Pree and was suddenly interested in her. “What is your name?” (Fine, ignore me)

     Pree answered for us. “I am Preeti, you can call me Pree.” She shook his hand. He was transfixed. Yeah, Preeti has that effect on people, even Trevor. It’s not fair. Everyone prefers Pree to me, even dad. He makes it no secret. (sob)

     “Uhuh.” He gazed at Pree. Then shook his head. “Uhh, I’m, uhh, Luke.” He then blushed. 

     “Hi Luke!” She fluttered her eyelashes. “You wanna show me round?” she then dragged him away.

     The other guy was blonde, about 17, tanned and muscular, but skinny. He wore glasses, like me, but he looked cute in them, not too nerdy or ugly. “So...” He started, and blushed. “You’re a demigod. That means your mum or dad is a greek god.” 

     “Well my dad is kind of a homophobe, so I guess I have a goddess as a mom.” And I guess that won’t be Aphrodite as I’m ugly as fuck.

     He turned away “Let’s tour the camp.”

     “By the way, what’s your name?” I asked. “I’m Leela. It means ‘night beauty’ in arabic.” It does. And that is quite ironic due to my lack of beauty. But I do love night times. My dad likes to name us something close to our roots, so Pree got an Indian name, and I got a muslim name. 

     I was also named after Turunga Leela, you know, the Futurama character.

     “I’m Angus. I’m the son of Athena. You know, the goddess-”

     “Yeah I know.” I then said with a formal voice. “Athena, Goddess of wisdom, and Arts and Literature.”

     “Yeah.” He stopped, and looked at me. “Usually, Demigods before being found don’t know that.”

     “Yeah, I read”

     “Wait, you’re not dyslexic?” He asked.

     “Uhh, NO. I’m probably the least dyslexic person out there.” I added. I am truly very nerdy. “But Pree is.” Pree has severe dyslexia, she cannot even read 3 letter words, sometimes.

     “Do you have ADHD?”

     “Yeah. And-” I paused. “Uh, never mind.”

    “Yeah, Demigods usually have those two disabilities. Dyslexia since Demigod brains are hardwired to learn Ancient Greek-” how tedious “and ADHD for Battle Reflexes.”

     “Wait, teens here go on BATTLES?” I paused.

     “Yeah.” He smirked. “Come on, let’s meet Chiron.”

     “Wait! THE Chiron? The Centuar?”

     He stopped. “You know a lot for a Demigod.” He paused. “Wait, how old are you?”

     “15″ 

     He looked shocked. “The last people who came her after 13...it was before the war of Gaia”

Chapter one of...this story

Ik, shit title. Whatever.

     “Hey Downy! Nice forehead you got there!” someone teased. 

     I looked to my right. Betsy, the Down’s Syndrome Kid was walking alone peacefully, and then Trevor came along.

     Ugh. Trevor. I hate Trevor. No no no. I DESPISE him. He bullied me ever since I was little, and has never stopped. The thing that isn’t fair is that he is the most popular boy in school, and I was unpopular. After all the nice things I did for the world.

     “Thankth Twevor!” Betsy said through her unfortunate lisp. I feel sorry for her unfair naïvety. She is one of the nicest in our school, yet the least fairly treated. 

     I saw a bunch of kids near Trevor, egging him on. One of them was was his girlfriend, sexy and sassy Rachel McDade. 

     Rachel is the girl EVERYONE wants to be. Her perfect loosely wavy blonde hair is tied up in a high pony. Her perfect slender thin manicured arms was behind her back, clutching the red and white cheerleading pom-poms. Her perfect slender body was wearing the schools official cheerleading outfit. Her perfect cherub-y mouth that complemented her perfect cute upturned nose was smirking in a perfect way. And her perfect eyes...they were blue with shades of green and verdigris. 

     Everything about her was perfect.

     “Hey Downy, that wasn’t a complement!” Trevor unnecessarily spelled out.

     “Twevor, you don't haff to be tho rude!” Betsy forgot to whisper.

     “Oh, I’m sorry.” He smirked to his friends. I cannot stay put any longer.

     I marched up there. “Hey Trevor, nice obnoxiousness you got there, where d’you get it, Costco?” I smiled. 

     He smirked. “Do you really want me to insult you, cause there is so many things I can insult now.” He said looking up and down. Ouch. Tears stung my eyes. No. I will NOT cry.

     “What is your problem? Why do you hurt Betsy. Why do you have to hurt anybody?” I wanted to break into tears.

     “Why can’t we be friends? I don’t know, ugly. Now fuck off before you cry!” 

     “Hey Trev, you do know how hard I hit.” He hid his wince. I punched him before, and he didn’t like it.

     “Why don’t you fuck off creep.” Rachel said. “ugh! Your ugliness is starting to affect my senses.” Don’t cry, don’t cry.

     Just then, the bell rang. “Come on Rae, these people are too loser to have to worry about.” He walked away. Fuck him. Fuck Rachel. Fuck Society. 

     As I walked to class, somebody punched me. I spun round. “Hey Bitch.” Phew, it was only Mel. Me and Mel are the “loner kids” in our school. You know, the one who people lowkey (and highkey) make fun of. But we are quite tough.

     Mel is quite cute. Her dirty blonde hair is long and flowy. Her features and petite and elfin, just like the rest of her.

     Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like her, but i do like other girls. Yeah, queer here. I’m not that open at school, but my immediate fam and Mel know. People know of course. Like I give any fucks. 

     I told my sister and dad when I was 10. My sister was alright (I’m surprised she knew what gay meant! She was only 8!) but my dad was less enthusiastic. He didn’t care, but I could tell he was uncomfortable. 

     Unfortunately, when I told my grandma, she flipped. 

     Her traditional Indian standards are different to today’s culture. She just barely accepted the bikini! So when I came out to my Daadi, she told me to never step foot in her house again. I haven't seen her since. I don’t care. Fuck her disgusting views.

     (Of course I had a few girlfriends.)

     In class we were the only ones who didn't misbehaved, while the others were throwing airplanes at the sub. She got mad and gave them detention.

     Anyway, after school, Mel invited me to her family’s house during Christmas. “It’ll be fun. We can celebrate XXXmas together.” she joked. I giggled. she joined in. 

     “Anyway, bye Leels!” she hugged me. 

     “Go to a room you lesbo’s!” Trevor yelled, his mates sniggering after.

     “I should say the same when you and Rae try to take out each other’s tonsils!” I yelled. He smirked at me. (LOL WUT?)

     When I reached home, Pree was waiting for me. “You ALWAYS ditch me.”

     I hugged her and went in. Pree was my gorgeous younger sister. Her name, Preeti, not only sounds like “Pretty”, but it means “Love” and “Joy”. Her name relates to her too. Her nose is upturned and beautiful. Her dark eyes resemble melted chocolates. Her long black hair reaches to her mid back, and is tied in french boxer-braids.

     Unfortunately, I’M not exactly a looker. My straight, dark brown, jaw length hair contributes to my cluelessness, especially because I rarely brush it (I don’t need to, it always falls into place.) My cinnamon colored skin is too dark for America, my nose is starting to get big and... I just look ugly. Whatever.

     The only thing I like about my body is my figure. Yeah, I might be on the curvy side, but by the time I was Pree’s age, 13, I had a 34d cup. And a huge ass.

     My dad’s rarely at home (millionaire business and whatever) so the flat was empty except for me and Pree. By the way, when I say flat, I mean Penthouse. We live in a million dollar penthouse. Yeah I know, it seems cool and shit, but you would rather have a dad and mum than a penthouse.

     Oh yeah, and my mum’s dead. Don’t bother feeling sorry because I don’t care. She died when I was little. My dad rarely talks about her, so I don’t know much. I don’t even know where I’m from! Heck, I don’t even know if Pree is my full sister!

     Oh, dad eventually came home. We’re going to NY for the holidays!

    Dad’s gone to a conference ( “Holiday” ) and Pree’s gone to have a bath  so I decided to cool off and went outside. I went out on the balcony and looked at ‘beautiful’ NY. It was starting to get dark by the time I go inside. I like the night time. It’s dark, so you don’t know what is happening, but it’s beautiful. I’m naturally nocturnal, not just because of my teen phase. I always feel...stronger in the night.

     Anyway, I was about to go in, but then I saw a person walk in the street bellow me. I wouldn’t have cared, but this person was twice as big as an average human. Something was wrong. I continued to inspect. 

     It was about to walk into our building, but then it paused. It looked up, squinted and flashed a sinister grin at me. Only then did I realize what was wrong.

     The creature only had one eye
