It was awkward learning that you were the child of a Greek god after being attacked by several giant dogs. It was even more awkward when a bunch of random teenagers fell out of the sky to save her and bring her to this camp -- on a cloud. The awkward feelings peaked when they all found out that Bee, too, was one of them, but with a twist: she was the child of the Greek Titan of bees and honey -- not memory or the sky or magic or anything, but bees. She was sure that head-honcho blonde girl was going to either faint or die laughing when she saw the holographic symbol of a bee over Bee's head.
And of course, the irony of Bee's own nickname had not failed to show itself, either.
So there Bee sat in the Titan cabin on her bunk, clad in an orange Camp Half Blood t-shirt and a pair of blue cotton shorts, part of the wardrobe her mother had sent over when Sarah (Serena? Stina?) went back to get her things for her. She hadn't really had an in-depth conversation with any of her cabin-mates yet, but she certainly was dreading the possibility. Within three days of getting to camp and being claimed, she had seen them engage in at least five fights that they had provoked -- and won them all with surprising ease. Frightening? Totally. What was worse was that they had begun to gently needle her into practicing her powers more, provoking this weird "demititan gang or DIE" argument as if that were the end-all reason for trying to include her in their nefarious schemes.
Did they treat her badly? No, Bee thought to herself, hugging her knees to her chest as she eyed the dagger sitting on her pillow, but they certainly could drop less hints about getting her into training. She was pretty sure Serena was glaring at her from her own bunk as she sat there, spinning her finger and making little clouds form above her head as the older girl waited, probably, for Bee to touch the dagger and thus be initiated into their... gang.
Was magic amazing? Yes. Until you're sitting in a room with several hostile magic-users who would probably not hesitate to cut you.
