The rest of the demigods had settled in, some looking weary and ready to go to bed, neglecting the majestic view that could be seen from Olympus High. The city skyline is outlined in a glowing white, dotted with sparkling lights, while the highschool is secluded enough that Los Angeles' light pollution doesn't reach the skies above. The night was a dark blue, wispy gray clouds floating aimlessly atop the surface of the sky, where stars sparkled like diamonds.
Long story short, it was the perfect night for a walk.
I took the elevator to the third floor, watching as the green light shown the ascending numbers, until the metal doors slid open with a ding.
Jane, in light pink pajamas, looked towards me, immediately tossing her hair when she found my light eyes. I scowled harshly back, although it was hard to admit that she looked pretty comfortable; especially when I was wearing jeans that felt stiff all of a sudden.
She was wearing her smug look, as if she read my thoughts, and leaned on the doorway of the Aphrodite dorm. "Decided to come with the rest of us, after all?"
I stared her down evenly, snarling out whatever words came to mind. "I wouldn't join you even if Zeus himself were to strike me down if I didn't." I silently prayed to my father that it wouldn't come to that, even if I did mention it myself.
The daughter of Aphrodite, shook her head, as if I didn't know what I was saying, and stepped into her dorm, closing the milky wood door behind her.
Anger was closing in on me, and I left the elevators to find my dorm, complete with the scent of fresh earth and the radiating death. I felt only slightly at home, still driven by the fact that I had to get my hands on my sword again. I grabbed my dark gray hoodie, slipping it on and flipping the hood up before heading downstairs and into the winter cold.
I had taken a trip to the Training Center before heading out, finding my shadow black Stygian iron sword, which was propped up neatly and glinting in the dim light. I now held it in my hands, gripping it enough for my knuckles to turn white.
Mr. Bates hadn't given a second thought when I'd left; I've been here long enough for him to trust me to go out into the night.
I was so intent on finding a lone tree to target my anger into that I hadn't heard the faint rustling of leaves underfoot. It was only when I heard the feminine voice was when I realized there was someone there. "Excuse me?"
I whipped around, eyes blazing, and pointed the tip of my sword to someone taller than me, long blonde hair cascading down her back. She stepped back, startled, and I took a better look at her. She looked about the same age as Jane, but I couldn't be sure if she was a mortal that could see my sword, or an actual demigod.
I didn't lower my sword. "Name, and explanation."
She seemed to have gotten over her surprise, and spoke without hesitation. "Charlotte Flight, Junior." The girl eyed my sword cautiously, and added to her introduction. "Daughter of Apollo."
Only then had my sword lowered, tip pointing to the earth. "Another demigod?" I breathed out a sigh, freezing white in the crisp air. "I suppose you're looking for Olympus High?"
She stared at me, confused. "Olympus...High?"
"The highschool for half-bloods."
Charlotte nodded, her lips lifting in a faint trace of a smile. "Yeah. Can you show me the way?"
I glanced down at my sword, the spirit of battle inside me fading. "It's just down the path, but I'll show you anyway." I paused. "I'm Kira Le Sune, daughter of Hades."
I could practically see her mind put the pieces of my 'puzzle' together. I was used to this; I just gave off an unnatural aura.
"Nice to meet you."
With those last four words, we shifted our feet, walking to the building together with the silver moonlight pouring onto our steps.
- Kira Le Sune -
Grab my Button!
Kira Le Sune - Freshman
Daughter of Hades. Kira is a very short-tempered 15-year-old with brown hair cropped messily at her shoulders, pale skin, and light brown eyes. She is very easily irritated, and doesn't have many friends, having the fact that she pushes most friendships away. Every time she accepts someone as a friend, they either end up betraying her or trying to change her into someone more open. She does smile, just makes 'allies' instead. Kira wouldn't care if she was alone and against the whole camp; she would take them all at once without hesitation. She is a very skilled fighter, but has too much pride, which is her fatal flaw. She doesn't seem to care if she knows she isn't able to do something, and does it anyway to prove herself. Kira tends to be very competitive, but won't break down if she loses. No one has ever seen her cry, and she doesn't plan for anyone to.
Jem (James) Hastings - Freshman
Unclaimed. Tall 14-year-old with chestnut-brown hair and eyes as black as night. Highly arrogant and slightly pestered by the most simple of things, Jem becomes perplexed by different scenarios, and no matter what, he can always provide a weird metaphor to someone that he happens to have fondness for. Jem dislikes most girls and grows easily jealous. He has capricous moods, and can be very antisocial when he is uncomfortable or in a state that provides for lack of speech. He can be sweet and gentle to others he feels particularly sorry for. He has a lacking self-esteem, and just grows increasingly jealous by his own percievings. He has a soft side somewhere iside of him but no one knows where the key to that is hidden, his soul ripped apart and his heart so full of hatred. Nevertheless, Jem always manages to hide his real personality and secrets, replacing it with a wash of jokes and laughter.
Lena Pierce - Sophomore
Daughter of Nemesis, Lieutenant of Artemis. Lena is a quick-witted, fierce 16-year-old with long brown hair and dark brown eyes. She is easily annoyed and not easily intimidated, being the daughter of the goddess of revenge and a hunter of Artemis, but loses her temper around everyone, not just males. In fact, she seems to be able to stand boys much more than some of the other hunters. Lena is guarded, refusing to let anyone near her feelings. She fights more with her hunting knives than her bow, but can aim just as well. Since she had been abandoned by her family at age six, only few have earned her trust. Despite all this, she's smart enough to befriend someone when she needs it, and she is friendly enough for them to accept.
Tessa Raine - Sophomore
Unclaimed. Unruly dark brown hair and stormy gray eyes. 16-year-old Tessa has spent the last thirteen years of her life being stiflingly overprotectd by her aunt after the death of her parents in a carriage accident. She lives almost all her life in books, dreaming of having the kind of adventures the heroines in the novels experience. For much of her quiet life, Tessa never thought that she would soon embark on a journey with the half-bloods. Her determination occasionally sets off an array of other personalities, different from her usual quiet, and logical self.
Jane Fell - Junior
Daughter of Aphrodite. Golden blonde against a pallor figure, eyes a mixture of yellow and green. Quite full of herself, Jane doesn't appear to like anyone and she hates the fact that she's a demigod.
Charlotte Flight - Junior
Daughter of Apollo. Charlotte is a tall, pale, pretty 16 year old girl with blonde hair and is in her junior year of Olympus High. She is very shy, but suprisingly friendly and intelligent. She had a very quiet life before Olympus. She does not resent being a half-blood, but would rather be a normal girl. Charlotte loves capturing the world around her onto her sketchbook. She usually keeps to herself and doesn't talk to male demigods, having bad experiences in the past. Her mind tends to wander and is always dreaming of small fantasies.
