Chapter 6 - Sarah gets claimed
Almost two weeks had gone on with all these strange occurrences from Sarah. More water freezing, things floating in mid air. She had become quite self conscious about these incidence, she felt she belong more at Hogwarts than she did at Camp Half Blood.
Annabeth had sleepless nights, not knowing the answer. She was meant to go back home but she had to stay at camp. She wouldn't dare leave something without an answer. So if Annabeth stayed, that meant Percy stayed, which meant Jason stayed, which meant Piper stayed, which meant Leo stayed and everyone stayed because everyone loves Leo.
Sarah used this anger in her training, she had become stronger in the past 2 weeks, but of course nothing like Annabeth, Percy, Jason or Piper. Not even close. But she was proud of herself of not being the lanky little girl she was 2 weeks ago. A lot can change in 2 weeks, and a lot can change in 20 min as she was about to find out.
One night she was sitting at the Hermes cabin table for dinner, as she always had done. She felt very close to the Hermes cabin, they felt like the siblings she never had.
George however, well that affection was short lived. She tried to talk to him but all she got was one word answers. It was like he was scared of her. At first she was sad and felt immensely guilty, but then she realised that she shouldn't worry about these things and just to keep training.
This one night would be the night that would change her forever.
After a heart-warming dinner where they were given a nice warm roast, she was feeling happy. A couple of her cabin members was talking about their next prank that they were going to pull after dinner.
They had made these contraptions that looked like the symbols that appear when you are being claimed. They were planing on freaking out some all ready claimed cabin members by claiming them with different godly parents. They had spent the whole week planing this prank.
So after dinner around the camp fire led by the Apollo cabin. Two of the Hermes boys snuck off to prepare their contraption. They also got Leo's help to build the machine.
They were around the campfire singing Vance Joy's 'Riptide' with Will on the ukulele, when all of a sudden a blue glowing trident appeared above someone from the Hecate's head, then hammer above Jason, then a dove above Nico, a lightning above Pollux and a Ares helmet above Miranda Gardner. The camp went into a frenzy. People running around confused, Chiron trying to settle everyone. Miranda crying because she hates Ares.
All of the Hermes cabin were laughing because they were in on the joke, Leo was hysterical.
Until everyone stopped laughing. Leo and all the Hermes cabin stopped. Everyone just stopped and stared- at Sarah. Her laugh got slower and slower until it reached an awkward stop.
"What?"
"Sarah your head." said Lou Ellen hesitantly said. Sarah looked above her and saw a symbol with a lightning bolt rapped around a trident with a helm on top. Sarah laughed to herself,
"Hahaha, this just apart of the prank!"
"Sarah, we didn't prank you." Leo said as he emerging from the crowd. At that moment you could see the fear wash over Sarah's face, the realisation that she had been claimed. She felt like she was about to vomit, faint and cry all at once.
Chiron stood there in shock, never before has he come across something so terrifying, never had he been more confused and scared, never had Sarah been so scared of herself.
The centaur began to bow, the rest of the camp uneasily followed. The only sound that could be heard was the crackling of the camp fire, no on dared to speak.
Chiron shakily announced almost like he didn't want to believe it "Your bloodline has been determined. Lord of sky, earth shaker and Lord of the Underworld. Hail Sarah Knight daughter of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades."
