Maybe you won't ignore me

I walked into the infirmary, inspecting how many people were injured, seeing as we were probably having another battle soon. I saw a person I hadn't seen before, and walked over in time to hear him say, "Where am I?" I smiled slightly. "You're at Camp Half Blood. Don't worry, you're safe here. In fact, this is the safest place in the world for people like us."

Steven thought about the word Halfblood. His father called him that. Just what was he half of? He looked up at the girl he told him where he was. "What's a half-blood?" While he asked, he tried to ignore the chatterbox ghost. Luckily, another boy shut him up.

Steven nodded. "Yeah, I don't know who my mother is. Do you or anybody by chance know?"

Steven studied the boy. Why wouldn't he tell him who his mother was? Maybe because I'm the son of the fairy goddess. "My name's Steven Jackson." He answered, "What's yours?"

Colton shot a glare at Rachel as cold as ice. No one ever referred to him in that familiar way, and he disliked it. What was with the term "dude" anyway? His shocking blue eyes turned on Steven. But before he could say anything, Andrew floated out in front of him. He interrupted, "Colton, the rude sir's name is Colton." You could see a visible pop of frustration and the room darkened. The daisies in their ceramic vase sat peacefully on a small table. Unfortunate for them, it was sitting peacefully next to the son of Thanatos. They wilted, delicate petals shriveling into black and crusted to the floor. The ghost shut up fear, hiding behind Rachel. "W-well? Who's his mother?"

With a small pause, Colton eyed Steven. "I hesitate because I think who his mother is will dictate his actions. As a minor goddess, she thinks she could get more power by joining Gaea. Hopefully, you won't stand beside her in this war." He stood up off the wall, walking over to stand next to his bed, but keeping a relative distance away from both the boy and Rachel. Call him paranoid, but he was overly cautious most of the time. He kept a weapon's distance away from the two, which was far enough, but made it relatively awkward. "Nyx, your more is the goddess of the night. You've come to this camp at a bad time, kid. You mind telling him about the danger looming over us?" He aimed the question at Rachel.

Colton watched as Rachel stormed out after freaking. She had seemed to mentally snap at the idea of their loss looming over them like a cloud. He turned his gaze back on Steven with a wry smile. "In other words, the Titan Gaea has awoken and is waging a war against us demigods. The final warning has been issued. The last battle is coming. She intends to destroy us all. Her message was to join or die. If you decide to join her like your mother, I don't blame you."

"Master!" Andrew the ghost complained at his words.

Colton smiled wryly at his choice. "I admire your desicion, but keep in mind that it's a likely death wish. You're not leaving, I'm afraid. You'll have to stay in the infirmary for your own good. When you're healed, you'll move to the minor gods cabin. I'll go get your stuff, but your staying here..

Colton came back, holding a fresh camp half blood t-shirt, nectar, and ambrosia. "This will heal you faster, but you can't have too much. You'll incinerate." The son of Thanatos warned Steven.

Colton hesitated, feeling a chill scrape over him. The presence of a goddess. And it was a warning to him of his own demise. He shook it off, turning his icy gaze on Steven. "No. But I have an idea. Since you're going to stay here, you have to ignore any temptations on joining Gaea, understand?" Colton studied the boy, wondering if he was trustavle. "Gaea will spare no one against her, so I swear that I'll keep you safe." For some reason, this boy reminded him of his little brother.

(You gonna join the final battle? It has started. Fun. XD)
