Behind the Shadows

Awkward and Badly Timed Jokes

The big house hadn't changed one but since Sapphire had left. As always the fire was crackling and Chiron was sitting in the wheelchair enjoying the heat. Annabeth is the first to step forward and greet Chiron. Percy follows her and the three of them begin talking. Sapphire and Grover stand near the front door and just listen to the chatter. The last time Sapphire had been in here things were bad. Chiron had been missing and Cayden had control of the camp. Sapphire had been in here raiding the place for the campers list of details. Chiron looks well now as he smiles at Percy and Annabeth. Sapphire was leaving it to Annabeth to discuss the details of what happened while they were gone. No doubt Sapphire would be asked to inform Chiron of everything that happened when she disappeared from camp. Maybe after that she would be able to leave in search of Jake. She knew Clarisse was more able to get back on her own than Jake. If he was safe then no doubt he would be more focused on looking for the others rather than heading back to camp.
"I wonder what happened to Apollo?" Percy mutters to no one in particular. Annabeth presses her index finger to her forehead in deep thought. It was odd that Apollo just disappeared and basically left his chariot to crash into the ocean.
"I will have a some campers go out and search for him" Chiron says "Grover could you go and pick out these campers for me?" Grover nods and takes his leave from the big house. Sapphire turns to the window and watches Grover walk away. Annabeth, Percy and Chiron continue to speak behind her. Campers dash about outside either carrying weapons or just strolling with their friends. That used to be her out there enjoying the camp life. There are some new faces walking about and the expression on their faces were familiar. They were lost and confused with barely a clue of what they were or where they were.
"There has been a few issues with the barrier around camp" Percy state's "Monsters have been getting in. Thalia's tree isn't looking its best" Sapphire turns around and looks at Annabeth who is already looking towards Sapphire. They were both clearly thinking and feeling the same.
"Whats wrong with the tree?" Sapphire speak up for the first time since entering the big house. Chiron looks at her warily and it's a sting to the heart for Sapphire.
"It looks like it's been poisoned" Percy replies and Annabeth gasps. "We think Luke did it" Sapphire nods and goes back to thinking.
"Is there anything that can fix the tree?" Annabeth asks Chiron. There is a silence for a few seconds.
"Not that I know of" Annabeth sighs and walks towards the front door.
"I will go and look into it" She says before leaving. Sapphire gulps when she sees both Chiron and Percy looking at her. Now it's awkward. really, really awkward. Sapphire steps forward and swings her arms slightly.
" Why was wine invented?" Sapphire mutters and chuckles awkwardly "So Dionysus could never rule the world" The only person who laughs is Percy and it echos around the room. When he finishes laughing a slow clap erupts by the front door. Sapphire turns and shuts her mouth tightly. Dionysus stands there looking rather annoyed. So much for trying to cut the tension in the room. Sapphire had just made it ten times worse because of insulting a grumpy looking god. "Oh boy"
"I see the camps jokester has returned" Dionysus grumbles and storms past her to sit by the fire. "I'm overjoyed"
"You look it" Sapphire replies sarcasticly. Chiron sighs and nods his head for Sapphire to follow him. Percy smiles at her as she passes.
"You can go now, Peter" Dionysus mutters as Chiron and Sapphire walk out of the room. An annoyed sigh follows after.
Chiron had Sapphire sit in a chair in a small room with just a couple of chairs and a desk. There was no window and just a little flickering lightbulb above them.
"Sapphire, I have some questions" Is all Chiron says before he takes his place on the opposite side of the desk from Sapphire. She just nods and stares past him at the blank wall.
"Explain exactly what happened when you left camp" Sapphire does just that. She tells him about going to Percy and then going to Luke. She explains why she went to Luke and what happened after that. Chiron listens to everything she says and the more everything gets explained the more he looks less wary towards her. When everything is said Chiron sighs deeply and nods.
"What a weird year it has been" He mutters "Its only the beginning I feel" Sapphire can't help but nod at that. "Tomorrow I would like you to gather a few campers of your choice and head out to search for both Jake and Clarisse" Sapphire nods gladly. She was happy that she was actually allowed to leave in search of the missing campers. "For now get some rest and I will try and sway the campers judgement on you" Chiron waves his hand indicating for her to leave. As she is leaving Chiron clears his throat. "I'm glad to see that you are doing okay" Sapphire smiles as she leaves the room. Maybe she would be able to see the camp as home again.
