The Lightning Thief

No one open!!!
"Flirting....honestly, I think someone's getting jealous!" I aim back at her.
( O.O I'm eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil! XDXD)Then I finally realize what I've done. My eyes filled with tears, and I looked frantically from Mae to Zaynah. "Omigosh Zaynah! I'm so sorry! Mae, please, help me! Mae, honest I didn't mean-"
Mae looked shocked, she was just standing there, frozen staring at us. But it didn't take long for her to find her voice. "OMIGOSH RUBY WHAT DID YOU DO???? RUBY??? THAT'S HER WOUND!!! YOU'RE GONNA KILL HER!!!!"
I fell to my knees as Mae staggered off in the direction of Chiron's cabin, Zaynah's arm wrapped around her shoulder, being half dragged.
"Mae...Zaynah...please I didn't mean..." I whispered. I hadn't meant to hit her there. I don't know what came over me. I hadn't even liked him. Zaynah just got so- Ohhhhhhh what did I do?
I let out a small scream. "Oh Zaynah, it isn't your fault! Please, wake up, we gotta get you-" "What's this?" A voice suddenly appeared from the gloom, and a huge figure emerged from the shadows.
"Chiron!" Mae gasped. "Chiron, we need your help, Zaynah she-"
Finally, after a long time of constant worrying and crying, Zaynah's eyes fluttered open."Zaynah!" Mae screamed, and it took all my strength to keep her from flinging herself onto Zaynah, and reopening the wound.
"Hi Z." I said, giving a half reassuring grin. "How ya feelin'?"
She groaned and tried sitting up, but fell back against the pillows.
"H-how long have I been out?" she whispered hoarsely.
"About two days." I replied, handing her a glass of water. "I bet you're starving. In a few days or so you'll be as good as-"
"NO!" suddenly she screamed.
Both Mae and I jumped back in surprise. "What?" I asked timidly.
"No! We- we don't have that much time! Must...go..."
Zaynah was getting frantic, trying to get out of her bed, throwing back the covers and attempting pathetically to run.
"Who, Zaynah? What is it? Did you dream something?" I asked softly.
I looked wide-eyed at her. "B-but we only have two days!"
(DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN)
(AYE!)A huge silence fell over the crowd. No one seemed to know what to say. Zaynah was wobbling slightly on her standing position, so I hurried up and took her place, gently pushing her aside.
"Alright people, you heard the girl!" I began, my brain whirring with things to say. I was clad in camouflage, with black boots and hair pulled back in a makeshift bun. At my side was a sword and a small, black bag.
"She...she's right! All our gods and goddesses up on Olympus need our help! If the clones are finished and let loose on the world...Well it won't be pretty! It's up to us, the half-bloods. My friends and I-" I nodded back behind me at Mae and Zaynah standing straight and mouths set. "We have seen it. We went on a different mission, and came back with horrible news. We set out so long ago, by our selves. But now...now we need more help. My friend Zaynah, she's been injured countless times... Mae has contributed to our team so much...without either of them I wouldn't be standing here today. I guess what I'm trying to say is - Alone isn't enough! We can't do it alone, we need your help! Now, as Zaynah said before me, who will stand and FIGHT?"
Finally a huge cheer errupted from the crowd, and, grinning, I took a hand from either girl beside me, and held it up in the air in triumph.
(bleh, gotta go - bye!!)
(erm, I'd rather not be swearing, if that's okay...)"Who was she?" Mae adds.
"Well, we gotta get going, shouldn't we?" I said, clapping my hands together.
I grinned, and we set off to where everyone was excitedly gathering, chattering and yapping away.
"How about..." say out a small voice, but the rest of it was lost amist the chatter. "Hey, be quiet will yeh?" I shouted, and gradually, it stopped. "One at a time!" I added.
"W-well, what about plant-travel?" she went on timidly, looking around as if everyone was gonna kill her. "T-the Demeter cabin could do it, I'm sure!""Plant-travel?" I asked, puzzled.
"It's like shadow traveling except you travel by plants.", she replied."Ohhh. I get it." I said
I exchanged looks with Mae, who looked exactly as I felt. Absolutely baffled.
((other people are commenting XD))
"What???" I asked, still utterly baffled. But no one was paying me any mind.
((no, I think she said sure you can join...I think...))
((Uh, whatever ya want :D ))
"Oh, yes - you, yeah, you uh, no, sorry, I meant-" but Zaynah cut in helpfully and shouted, "OI!! WE'RE TALKING TO DA GIRL WITH THE GREEN SHIRT AND RIPPED JEANS AND BLACK HAIR! Sheesh!"I reddened, but nodded towards the girl.
My eyes widened to the size of apples, but beside me Zaynah didn't look at all surprised."Well, sounds like we have a tie," called Mae, stepping forward. "Who votes what?"
"Wolves for me, I suppose," shrugged Zaynah.
"But then again, there are only five of them, and about two hundred of us," countered Mae.
"True, true," Zaynah said, and turned back to the girl - Alice. "What do you say to that, girlie?"
"Ah." I looked back at Mae and Zaynah, and Mae shrugged. "Wolves it is, then, I guess."
"Hey! I thought WE were getting the wolves!" I protested, stepping forward."Well, I called FIVE." she said matter of factly, postitioning herself on it's back.
"Woah now!" I said nervously, holding my hands up.
My eyes grew huge, and I just barely hopped on a wolf before it rose out of reach. Two hundred more campers got onto various woodland animals, and followed on the ground.
(Erm, I had, in my post, originally had them following on the ground....but we can continue with your thingie, I guess...)"This is odd, isn't it?" I said conversationally to Mae, beside me. She looked sick.
I turned, and looked her over. She was definitely not someone to be meddled with, that was sure..."It's a quest." I said simply.
"Its just were the gods are being cloned by Hecate who has gone weirdo, and all their children are endanger of the pain it causes during the cloning process! No biggie!" I smile the best I could when I feel like my insides were sloshing out of place.
(who are you talking to, Alice?)
(Ummmmmmmm okaaaaay)"Yeah, pretty sure," I said, then narrowed my eyes.
"Why are you asking?"
"No reasons", I said with a nervous laugh...
Alice wrote: "(-_-No please she is my character.I'm going to ignore your post and use Ruby's.)
I smiled."Just making sure I'm getting my facts right!"I smiled again and easily sat cross-legged on the animal."
((I think Johnathan was referring to his character.))

I really don't know, I just said that cuz I didn't want his to feel badly. I guess in the end it is your, Mae's, Maj's, and Ruby's discussion, you can decide.

But you accidentally shot a Johnathan bird!!!
JK. Bye!
"Hmmm nice shooting!" I exclaimed.
I looked around. Sure enough, it was beginning to darken, and I glaced over at Mae, who was dozing off.
I shrugged. Then, upon thinking about it for a while, say, "Well, I don't know. I do miss it when I was 'normal' and didn't have to worry about monsters and stuff. I really don't know.""Well, I for one," began Mae, yawning loudly, "know that I miss the 'old days'. I just would want to curl up with a good book once in a while without fear for a monster...." A loud snore sounded through the camp. Mae had fallen asleep.
I shrugged, and burrowed further into my sleeping bag. Upon turning over, I fell fast asleep.
The night was peaceful, even when I was dreaming. Nothing weird accrued, and then dawn peaked over the hills. I popped awake at the morning light straight away, and silently got out of my dirt bed. Sneaking away from my sleeping friends, I wandered off towards the near by woods. I needed to meet some new critters and have a wild life conversation for the first time in weeks.
I met a lovely mama brown bear, and a raccoon family. A heard of deer hung out with me for a while, and I chatted about the latest nature gossip with them. The creatures here seemed nice enough, but I longed for my family. Each of these packs of animals were with their loved ones, and had each other. Of course I loved my friends and all, but I still wanted my sisters and parents here with me.
After departing with the deer herd, I heard someone approaching from the woods. Someone from camp had woke up.

I turned over, then sat up with a groan."Oooo my back...feels like I slept on the ground all night-"
Then I remembered where I was and what the situation was like.
"Ah yes."
I looked around, and saw that two of the sleeping bags were already empty, so I set off in search for their inhabitants.
"Ye is fine. How is thy Alice?" I reply. Well this was a little weird of a time to go all Shakespeare, but I went with it.
"Did I wake you? I didn't mean to wake you up."
"Hey, there you guys are!" I exclaimed as I appeared from the undergrowth. "I was wondering where you disappeared to!"

"Z, shut up!" I whisper between gritted teeth as Dean glances over to us. Then I push ahead of her, and, grinning widely, say to him, "Oh, thanks - we'll be going now!"
I took Mae and Zaynah's elbows, and dragged them away.
