I Almost Get Sunk

I nervously play with my silver bracelets with moons engraved on them, standing in the forest waiting for my friend Luca Scuro Romano. We had met at school last year during a camping trip and ever since then he's been my only friend. I grew up in an orphanage, For as long as I can remember the only thing I remember of my family was looking at a constellation and seeing a glow next to me. Since then I've been blamed for weird things. My name is Theia Crescent Orion and I'm 16 years old or at least that's what I've been told. The weird things that have happened around me are the time a kid fell and hurt himself and I healed him, Luca fell and broke his leg and I fixed it, Animals of the wild coming to me to protect me, and  I had fallen into a lake And woke up fine. I had silver blue eyes with pale blonde hair with silver blue streaks, which kids made fun of me for when I was younger. 

I was lounging around in the Schoolyard and I heard a tree branch crack and I turned and looked. It was just Luca with his disheveled brown hair and copper eyes; he had an olive complexion and he talked with an accent but I heard he was an exchange student. He never did talk much about where he was from. "Torin should be here soon with the van, sorry we have to meet in such a weird place, after us he said there's one more stop then we are on our way to camp" I nodded and he made a face and kept talking like he normally does he somehow convinced his parents to send me with him to this camp he said I'd fit right in and that everything would be explained to me when I get there. As he talked I saw this van pull up with the name Camp Ogygia plastered on the side. As in the lost island or Calypso's Island I thought. "Hey Luca" some guy with blue eyes that looked Silver in the light and dusty blonde hair said he had board shorts on and an opened floral shirt on he looked like a surfer. "Yo Torin'' Luca came up and did some secret handshake "Torin meet Thiea she is the girl I told you about" Torin smiled and walked towards me "Hey Theia what's up" he hugged me as if I was an old friend and led me to the car "If you don't mind Luca sit up front and Theia sit in the middle I'll introduce you to everyone" I smiled hesitantly "Um sure," I said, climbing into the van sliding next to this pretty girl as I looked around. 

Everyone was talking and smiling. They were all older and seemed to know each other. They looked like they were from different countries just like Luca but from all over. As I buckled up Luca spoke to everyone "Hey guys meet Theia she'll be joining us this year at camp" Torin said his last name Davis everyone greeted me the girl next to me said her name was Clara Smith and that she was Torin's girlfriend she had black hair and warm eyes as she smiled at me. There were currently 3 guys and 4 girls and 8 could fit in this van the other guy was Aden O'Riley he has red hair and brown eyes his sister was Deirdre same hair and eyes and the last girl was named Shyla Tueln her dark hair and eyes fit her face well. I pulled out my book as everyone else went to talking about there school year and things that happened I was enjoying my book when we stopped and Torin hopped out and went up to another guy Clara looked down at the book I was reading then looked back at the others uninterested. Luca and Aden were talking about some sort of sport that they enjoy. The door next to me slid open and a guy with red eyes and black and red hair he bowed then slid in next to me. Torin hopped in and he smiled at Clara. The others started talking to the guy next to me. His name I heard was Kurai Kunakami. I continued to read and Kurai after a little started looking over my shoulder trying to understand it.

"What is your book about?" he asked quietly sounding curious I looked into his eyes and he blinked with the question in his eyes also i answered "It's about Cinderella but she's really the evil one turning into a demon to steal the one she loves soul" he looked as if it was not actually that interesting and nodded I went back to reading and he tapped my shoulder and I looked at him again "Well um my name is Kurai" he held his hand out I took his hand and shook it "My name is Theia" he smiled at me "Nice to meet you" Torin looked at me concerned for a second then he said "we are at the ferry once we get on get out of the car and head down below or above like usual" Kurai looked at his phone and raised it to take a photo of himself and he pulled me in and took a photo with me and I was so confused it was as if he was being nice to test something and I was just waiting for the car to park on the ferry. 

When it parked I waited to see who went where and went to the opposite of the majority of everyone because I was avoiding people because I like my space. All but Shyla went below and I was fine with it I heard something on the side of the ship and looked over the edge and saw a couple of lizards; big lizards climbing the ship "I know I smell some" I heard one say no one else was looking Shyla had gone below after a couple of moments and I decided that I should deal with them truly how was I to know that they had explosives. I had dealt with weird things before like this. I'm not trained all that well. I knew what the camp Ogygia was. It's a camp for demigods but one for many different cultures and countries and different gods. So I concentrated on the light and turned it into a bow and looked over the edge and looking at the closest one created an arrow and with a ping it hit, but there were about 11 more after that and they saw me the one fell and turned to lava and it fell. They scrambled up the side as I took off below looking for the others. when I saw them I said "Um problem" and the lizards followed me in but hey they had bombs Luca, Torin and Kurai stood up "What the hell did you do" Luca said "Um I found Lizards" The first Lizard tossed an explosive at me and I caught it still hearing sssssssszzzzzzzz the others jumped into action the three guys had weapons appear Luca had dark bronze knuckles, Torin had a shining silver trident and Kurai had a deep black Cutlass. They all went forward I ran with the bombs picking them all up and taking off as the others fought ssszzz the bombs kept sizzle or whatever it is as I ran up I tossed them into the river as far as I could I saw the last one was about to go off so the only thing I could think of to protect everyone was to teleport myself not just the bomb my whole being with it because that's logical I did and I fell into the water and I black out.

When I open my eyes I was okay I looked around band Luca was talking to Torin "Hey my time warp is better than you diving in after her at least I only made her come back and not the bomb" Torin ran his hand through his hair "I mean your right but at the same time your powers are less predictable than most. Your dad wants a chaos imagine if you had sent the ship back or teleported us forward instead of saving her" Clara stepped in and put her hand on Torin's shoulder. "Look she's awake everything is fine the only problem we have now is that Kurai has told the camps head counselors and the directors everything" Kurai shrugged "You know my brother sent me with you guys on purpose I'm only loyal to him and our friends'' Torin looked stressed "I wish your brother would trust me as I'm also a head counselor for the Greek side of Ogygia" Kurai smiled a wicked smile "But you tend to lack order compared to the other gods you and Rome tend to cause the most problems for camp" I sat up and I felt a pain in my head and my ears started to ring the other three checked on me while Torin and Kurai and Luca argued. I caught sentences about how they have been fighting for a while that some were better than others how their gods caused fights blah blah I was out of it. Torin looked at Kurai and said in a final tone "Your brother is on his mission right now if he has something to say he can say it when we see him I'm the oldest I'm in charge stop fighting with us and be happy you got a ride" 

Torin walked away and I focused on Kurai who was snapping more pictures of me and the others. I flashed my eyes white in the photo just so he got something from the photos that seemed like he didn't notice. Luca stood up and stretched "It's about time to get back in the car let's get in and hopefully time will.." "No more time stuff for you if you do that and we go back in time I'll be annoyed" Aden said "I would really like this ordeal to end" Shyla said quietly. Clara looked at everyone "let's head to the van it'll probably be time after you guys have argued and complained more" I stood up cautiously I was in pain all over and Kurai was examining his phone "What does he mean that there's something weird in the photos?" Torin headed upstairs "Come on Fox brain everyone else is going" Kurai looked annoyed and followed as he kept looking at the photos he sent trying to figure it out as everyone followed Dierdre helped me along as I had a hard time walking. As Clara predicted Luca and Kurai started arguing about stupid things at the entrance to the car I spoke up after standing there for a couple of moments "Move it or loose it you two stop blocking the rest of us over something so petty everyone just sit where you were and stop the arguments till we get out of the car please and thank you" they shut up at my words Kurai looked like he was gonna argue but he got a phone call and Luca shrugged and just did as he was asked. Everyone got in and Kurai got in after finishing his conversation and looked stressed. I closed my eyes my body and everything hurt as I relaxed I started to fall asleep again Kurai didn't let me "Hey Theia''I looked at him and he snapped another photo "Take a photo again without my permission and your phone will be swimming with the fishes'' I said trying to relax "For someone who can't do much you tend to threaten" I ignored him. I heard the car start "We have an hour or so left thanks to the main road being out so everyone rest we will be there right before lunch" Torin said. I was confused why time was moving so weird.

 Kurai's phone kept buzzing. I looked at him and he was staring at his phone"Answer your phone please" . He looked at me and his eyes were different than before, more scared and less dark. I noticed his hair had lightened "It's for you" he handed me the phone. I looked at it but it was in Japanese "Just answer it" I slid the call to answer and put the phone to my head "Kurai what are you doing spamming my phone with photos of all of them I told you to report only important things did you see what I was telling you about the photo? did you send it to Sin like I asked" I looked at Kurai "look he handed me the phone and told me to answer I don't know who you are or why he told me to answer" the guy was quiet for a good moment "he probably is wanting you to answer all calls till sin calls sounds like he's being a coward again" I laughed "welp since this isn't the call I'll give the phone.." Kurai shook his head and the person on the other side of the phone said "No just leave it I'm hanging up" the phone went dead and I looked at the phone there was a text I couldn't read I held it to him what's that say Kurai Flinched "Just keep the phone for now we have an hour and he knows he'll call just wait"  I held the phone in my hand and relaxed again after 30 mins here came another call and I answered it someone was speaking in Japanese on the other end I heard Kurai's name and looked at him he was pretending to sleep "I don't really speak Japanese so I don't know if you are mad at him or whatever but he's asleep and asked me to answer it" I heard the person talk to someone else and the phone get handed off a deep voice came through "hello?" "um hello" I shifted my position as Kurai tried to listen "is Kurai really asleep?"

 I looked at him "I have no clue to be honest I'm just doing what I was asked" he was silent for a moment "Tell him I'll call back then" I shrugged "Sure I'll tell him I guess he will know who's who since I don't" he sighed "I'm Sai his younger brother the person who talked first is Kudo she is a friend of his'' he seemed annoyed "Okay I'll tell him when he wakes up" I thought which will be after the call he wants me to answer" Sai hung up and looked at his phone texted his oldest brother "yeah she still has the phone just call it and he will answer you at camp". I looked at the phone as a group chat text popped up then another call happened right after that text and I answered again "Seems as though I have to talk to you" I sat there quiet waiting for him to speak again "Well tell me why you are getting in the middle of my conversation with my brother" I sighed "did I ask him to hand me the phone no he handed me it after he texted and told me just to answer." Sin was silent for a good moment "Theia is it?" Everyone else in the car seemed to be quiet. Torin was driving but his eyes flashed silver as he looked at me then back at the road. "Yes it's Theia and everyone calls you Sin" Torin looked at Kurai ``Take the phone back and stop being scared of nothing." Sin hesitated "Yeah everyone calls me Sin just call me that" I felt Kurai grab the phone "Well bye then" as Kurai takes it back and starts speaking to Sin in Japanese. 

Torin looked at me for a moment "Don't be someone who does favors for people, especially for people who will use you for your energy" I didn't know what he meant but Kurai shot an annoyed look at Torin. As we pulled into a clearing I saw a big house that had a lake and different normal camp things but then I noticed all the different groups of cabins around that looked like they were from different places around the world. "Welcome to camp Ogygia, the camp full of Demi gods from different cultures around the world" Luca said as if it was the funniest thing he heard in awhile. Kurai handed Torin the phone as he parked, Torin took the phone with no arguments "Hello" he got out of the car and everyone but Kurai who stopped me "I don't mean to annoy you but wait for Torin to take you to the main office here you gotta meet miss Calypso and the other directors and the head counselors for each group." Kurai got out and went to stand next to Torin and waited for him to finish his conversation. Kurai apparently got told to leave his phone for a little because he left with Torin holding the phone he gestured for me to follow and I finally got out of the car. "I got asked to hold onto Kurai's phone until Sin gets back tonight but.." he handed me the phone "I don't want to and your new and willing to do random things for people you don't know so for now you hold it" I took it in silence. "Cool let's go" he wrapped his arm around me and dragged me to the main office. "Until we know what group you belong to you'll be staying in the uncertainty cabin there's only two others in there but it usually doesn't take long for parents to show who they are. The two are also new this summer." The phone I had in my hand went off and I looked at it but couldn't see it without a code. "Ah the Phones code it's 2805. 

It's Kurai's favorite day I heard or was told" we walked up to the door and he did some weird knock Thump pause thump thump slide and a gentle kick. The door opened and a beautiful lady answered "I told you not to kick the door you can use the sequence but the kick added is not needed" she looked at me "oh hello there come in you two the other two new members are in the main room" Her smile lit her eyes up and I followed. Torin tapped my shoulder "Check the phone often so sin can get it back. You do this task for me and then we can work on accepting weird tasks." I looked annoyed but followed Calypso since she was walking in. She took me to the main room and had me sit on the couch. The other two sat in arm chairs separate but they looked like twins. They looked like complete opposites of each other one wearing black and purple the other in pastels and flowers. Torin looked at the two then Calypso "I am gonna go get ready for the rest of today then come back tonight since sin won't be here for awhile" She nodded and looked over all three of us "They'll all be fine here until later it's not like we don't have things to do if there bored." she saw the phone in my hand and looked at Torin who shrugged and walked out of the room she followed him. I finally checked the phone typing in the code I was told. When I looked at the text that was new it said *don't hand the phone off Torin* I typed in the chat *it's a little late to say that.*
