Chapter fourteen Kloud "Who's this?" Someone asks, it's the new Aphrodite kid, I'm pretty sure her name is Poppy. "I'm Kloud Kurayami. It's nice to make your acquaintance." I answer her with a bow. "Oh, you're the kid who's stayed in the Hermes cabin for ten years because your godly parent hasn't claimed you." Someone in the crowd said. I looked sharply in their direction. It was one of the Stoll twins that were famous around camp for their amazing pranks. I haven't fallen for one prank yet so at least they know to keep their distance from me. "Ten years, isn't that a bit long?" Another person said. It was Mitchel from the Aphrodite cabin. "Maybe his parent doesn't love him enough to claim him, I know I wouldn't," snickered someone to my right, It was Drew. "Of course you would say that." I say out loud. She freezes and looks at me," What did you just say?" "I said, of course you would say that, or are you perfect little ears not so perfect after all?" I snap back at her. "Why you-!" "How about we calm down and stop fighting." Annabeth interjects. I stop and kneel to her, "Yes, of course, m'lady. I'm very sorry for starting the fight." I apologize to her. If you're wondering why I did that. Here's the answer. When Annabeth had first arrived at camp, a year and a few months after me, I had tried to befriend her. But she was a very frightened and a jumpy child because of what she had just been through. So I had made a promise to protect her and her loved ones for as long as I lived. In the end I had devoted my life to her well being.
