Behind the Shadows

The Sea Scented Cabin

They would not stop singing. It hurt Sapphire's ears so much she wanted to aim a accidental stray arrow at them. This was what campfires were all about. Torturing other campers with a voice that sounded like screaming cats. Sapphire wasn't sure why Jake had dragged her along to this. He didn't even get to sit near her. An aphrodite girl had made a move on him and that was it he didn't even look Sapphire's way after that.

"OOOH if we were" A screaming cat screeched. No wait it was just one of the Ares kids. Sapphire huffed not feeling very impressed. Feeling a spark of confidence she rose from her seat. Sapphire started to walk towards the singing girl. The girl looked nervous when she saw Sapphire get closer and closer. The devious look in Sapphires eyes must of given the girl a fright. The closer she got the girl started to take steps back. When Sapphire finally reached her the girl was rushing away like some monster was after her. Sapphire burst out laughing. It wasn't a normal Sapphire laugh. Something was wrong with her. She felt like she was about to crack. Sapphire had felt completely fine a few minutes ago.

Sapphire turned around to face all the sitting campers. All eyes were on her it didn't even make her slightly nervous. A grin formed on her lips as she stared back at them.
"I have a announcement!" She sang. A laugh cracked through her again. She was the only one laughing. Chiron looked grim. His face paling in the moonlight. Nobody seemed to be very amused.
"I-" She burst out laughing. "Believe in fairies!" Everyone must of thought she was just drunk or something. Sapphire was not. Nobody was laughing with her. She could feel a crack forming somewhere within her and it was growing bigger and bigger.
"Did you know that greek gods exist?" She shouted to everyone. " I speak the truth! They have beards and everything, but then again how could you know I'm telling the truth when i'm not truly the daughter of Apollo, am I?"
Sapphire sighed now feeling a deep sadness wrapped around her. There was a few murmurs around the campfire. Trying to understand the meaning of her outburst. Her eyes scanned them all waiting for them to put it all together.
"I've been lying this whole time like poseidon lied to me" She spoke quietly. Everyone heard her. Chiron looked furious. Beyond furious. Sapphire felt empty. She wished she could feel something, anything, but all the anger and confusion had left her and now all she was, was an empty shell of the person she was just a day ago.

Sapphire looked at the ground and walked away in no particular direction. She walked until she found herself come to a sudden halt. It wasn't a surprise where she had ended up. Sapphire was standing facing the Poseidon cabin. The urge to go inside was gnawing at her. Not bothering to ignore it she took a step towards the door. Her hand shook as it grasped the handle. With one push the door flung open.
The air inside hit her, smelling like salty sea. She had been in here once before for a dare. Luke had told her that Poseidon would fry her to a crisp if she went in so Sapphire being Sapphire took it as a dare and ventured in. Nothing had happened. It had made her feel strange, but that was all.
She didn't feel strange this time. She felt at home. Now that she was ignoring Apollo in her head she was able to feel a draw towards anything to do with the sea. Even the smell of the sea made her smile.
The room was the same as it had been the first time. Except for Percy's belongings placed here and there. Something caught her eye. She walked towards it and picked it up. It was a photo of Percy and a woman. She had the same dark hair as Percy. It must of been his mother. Sapphire's mother. A tear slipped down Sapphire's cheek. Did her real mother even care where her daughter was? Or was she glad to be rid of her? The thought made Sapphire drop the photo. What was so special about Percy that made their mother keep him instead of her? Sapphire clenched her fists, feeling annoyed at the world. She didn't even know her mothers name.
"Saphy" Sapphire Jumped out of her skin. She whirled round. Luke stood in the doorway looking unreadable.
"Go away Luke" Sapphire hissed. He didn't go away he walked into the cabin.
"Ooh look at that I didn't get fried!" He joked. Sapphire wasn't amused. Not even slightly.
"More like drowned" Sapphire muttered.
"Is it true?"
"What?"
That you are the daughter of Posesidon?"
"Yes"
"Remind me never to make you angry again" He joked again. "You made me look like a drowned cat earlier"
"I will always be angry at you" Sapphire grumbled and looked down at the photo she had dropped. She noticed that she had her mothers eyes.
"Aren't you angry at them?" Luke asked.
"Who?"
"The gods?"
"I'm beyond angry, but I'm not going to steal a lightning bolt to prove how angry I am" .
Luke seemed startled by what she had just said, but it didn't last long.
"Join me, Saphy. We can form an army together and make them pay" Luke offered. His voice was full of power. He had always been so calm and collected, but this was different. She no longer recognized him. Sapphire felt herself feel slightly tempted. His confidence in himself and his goals was somehow drawing her in. She shook her head.
"I can't see things the way you do Luke, I may have a crap father, but I have another one who has always been there for me. Apollo adopted me like I was his own. No other god would do that for a simple demigod"
"You're far from some simple demigod Saphy dafty" He used the nickname he always called her when they were younger. He stopped it when they arrived at camp claiming it was uncool.
"Luke?" Sapphire said with a smile.
"Yeah"
"I have a family"
"You've always had a family" Luke smiled sadly. Luke had always been her family along with Annabeth and Thalia even Jake was like family.
"You will always be my family, Luke"
"Always will be" Luke smiled. He turned around and left leaving Sapphire alone in the sea sented cabin
