The Dark Thief

Addie stared in awe as the skull and coins hovered over her head. I swear her jaw had fallen out of its sockets. I bit my lip in determination to not to laugh at her reaction. Though, apparently being claimed is a really big deal. I didn't know why Chiron had said "oh no" or why his voice faltered when he said "daughter of Hades". Did he mean "daughter of Hades" or something else? I felt like asking him, but not in front of everyone.

"I-Me, a daughter of Hades, sweet!" Addie said as her brother, apparently named "Nico di Angelo", eyed her strangely, as if she was poisonous. I wondered why, was he hiding something? Well, that's for later, now time to celebrate! I started getting up when Lyssa 's eyes widened and she squealed. I turned around to see a green plant floating above her head. My mouth opened slightly as my two friends jumped up and down in excitement. Two claimings in one day?! Impossible.

As Addie and Lyssa were escorted to their new tables, I sat back down at my table. All of the sudden, my head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and my stomach felt like it was in my throat now. I sat my head down on the table and resisted the feeling that I needed to pass out. I tried to move, but I couldn't my feet seemed to be glued to the floor. I felt my hands twitching really badly. I grunted, trying to speak but I couldn't. I felt really weak, too weak to move. I used all of my will power to get up. "Uh, excuse me," I said to my cabinmates.
I trudged to the Hermes cabin and sat down on the bed. I laid my head back against my pillow and closed my eyes.

I was sitting in a car with two other people. I was poking a little boy that was sitting next to me. "Stop, it, Nixie," he growled, but I kept poking him. "But, --------- I don't want to!" I said, but the name I had said seemed so muffled, so I couldn't understand it. "QUIT!" he yelled, shoving me away from him. I saw tears welling up in my younger self's eyes. Younger Nixie kicked the little boy and scooted away from him. "13 year olds are stupid!" Little Nixie pouted. The boy just rolled his eyes and looked away. I could see Little Me clearly, but the boy was really blurry, like a fading memory.

I tried to see the woman in the seat in front of me, but something wouldn't let me. It was almost like seeing her would cause something bad. Not yet, not now, this information will change your life, not yet, but soon my child, soon. A strange voice spoke in my head. The car started fading as it spoke. The car changed into a small box. A REALLY small box. It was hard to breathe. I looked at my hands and started hitting the side of the box. No use. I couldn't make even a dent. I started screaming and crying. I have really bad claustraphobia. This was torture. I slammed myself into the wall, trying to get out.

The small space was too much for me, I started hyperventilating. I tried my best to move, but I couldn't, I just stared at my shaky hands. My head felt like a balloon, filled with helium and weightless. My breath turned short and shallow as the box continued closing in on me, until it completely closed around me, and I woke up.

A couple familiar faces were looking at me, seeing if I was awake. I didn't like the fact that they had been watching me sleep. "Who-?" I asked them as I wiped sweat off of my head. A girl with hair that had been dyed blonde and red came over to me, her eyes changing from green, to blue, to purple. "Are you okay?" she asked. "We found you here, hyperventilating in your sleep," said a girl with elf ears and green-purple hair. I heaved myself out of bed, and immediately felt dizzy. I started falling but someone caught me. I looked up to see the boy that Addie had pushed me into. He smiled at me and helped me stand up. "Uh, thanks," I said shyly.
I leaned against my bed for support and just looked at them for a bit. I realized how awkward this must've been for them. "Oh, uh, sorry, I'm fine, I just didn't feel well," I said, giving them a fake smile. "You guys can go now, but first..." I said. "Oh! I am Lily Pariss," said the blonde-red haired girl. "And this is Sycamore Trei and Zach Traveler," she said, motioning to the elf and the boy. I nodded. "Okay, got it, I'm Nixie," I racked my brain to find a last name, but I couldn't. "Uh, Nixie, just Nixie. I don't have a last name," I laughed. Lily smiled. "Well, we'll be going now, next time tell us if you feel bad." And with that, they started leaving.

I remembered, all of the sudden, that Lyssa, Ollie, and Addie were somewhere. I ran to the door and grabbed whoever was right outside the door's hand. Embarassingly enough, it was Zach's. "Oh, um, sorry," I said letting go of his hand. "Um, do you ny any chance know where my friends went?" I asked him. He gave a small frown at that. "They went to a different camp," he said. My heart stopped. "Wait, WHAT?" I yelled. He frowned even more. "I can't tell you." He walked away. I felt so angry. I stomped my foot and slammed the door.



I stomped right up to Chiron. "You put MY friends in a different camp and didn't tell me?!" I yelled at him. He looked at me solemnly. "It was for their own safety," he said.

Notes

Soo, Nixie has a brother, but she doesn't know who. Also, why did her friends go to "another camp"?

Hellooo, readerss. Sorry about the bad chapter, hopefully I fixed it. :) Bye!
