Stare

Suddenly, everything seems a lot more complicated. As I walked back to the cabin, I was thinking about what to say to Travis, but when I got there, he was already asleep. His legs were moving like windmills. Maybe he was running in his dream. I climbed onto the bunk above Travis and fell asleep, thinking about the sweet, cinnamon scent of Rachel.
When I wone up, Travis was fast fast asleep, and I'd woken a bit earlier than usual, so I decided to head down to the big house and see if there's any big news.
As I was walking there, I saw a figure running down the hill with a satyr.
Hmm. A new one, I thought.
I waited at the bottom of the hill. A girl with long auburn hair nearly ran right into me, but stopped about six inches short. She was doubled over, huffing and puffing. She looked about thirteen, just the right age to be claimed.
When she'd regained her bearings, I was about to welcome her to camp, she started talking Before I got the chance. "Alright. Start explaining. What the hell is going on, here?!" She looked ready to kill.
"Uuh, how 'bout I take you down to the big house, huh?"
She gave me a look that scared me a little bit, then smirked. "The big house? Do you torture people there?"
Then, a large, glowing caduceus appeared over her head.
I nodded while she looked annoyed and confused. "That makes sense," I said, just now noticing the shape of her face, and the way she smiled. "Say," I said, as I led her to the big house, " what's your name?"
"My names Lamina, but everyone calls me Lami." she smiled wickedly as we walked up the porch steps. "It's Latin for blade,"
I shook my head. "You'd think that you'd be a daughter of Ares,"
I introduced her to chiron and showed her around camp. We parted ways, and I smelled cinnamon on the breeze, reminding me of Rachel. I sighed unintentionally and then remembered that I wanted to talk to Travis about it.
I went back to the cabin, and found that only the other Hermes twins were there- Fae and Fiona.
As she went through people's stuff, Fae responded when I asked if they'd seen where Travis went, "I think he headed off to the Hypnos cabin, right, Fi?"
Fiona nodded, engulfed in a travel book with the Himalayas on the cover.
I ran to the Hypnos cabin, just in time to hear Travis say, " yeah. I- I guess I do sort of think of Rachel 'romantically. '"
My jaw dropped. Shit. We're in for a bumpy ride.
