Proven Strength (A Lightning Thief Fan Fiction)
I have been at camp half-blood only 3 years less than Annabeth but never once have I been on a quest. I'm tired of being underestimated, forced to sit on the sidlines and watch everyone else fight my fights just because i'm younger and smaller. My name is Riley Clayton, and I'm going to prove myself to everyone that I can be more then just stuck-up, mis-judged daughter of Aphrodite.
Chapter 1
New year
I sat there on my bed and stared at the ceiling wondering when all the other girls would show up. Almost as if they heard me, at that moment 5 girls came tumbling through the doorway shrieking with laughter and screaming at the top of there lungs as if they couldn't go another moment if not EVERY SINGLE PERSON knew they had arrived. "Oh boy", i thought, did they have to do this every year. Didn't they ever relize there was people that didn't want to here them squealing and shouting all the time. I got up from my bed and grabbed onto the door nob but just then my best friend Livy opened the door and knocked me down i hit my head on the ground and started bleeding. "are you o.k" she said frantically, "i'm so sorry i didn't know you were there!" "I know is not your fault" i said groggely. Just then Samantha, one of the squealers turned around, "EWWWW whats on your forehead, eww eww eww get out of here now!""chill," i practically screamed at her, she was such a wimp. Liv and I ran to the big house only to find Chiron there blocking our way. "What is going on" he said sternly. "nothing, I just bumped my head thats all" I assured him, not wanting to sound like the wimpy Aphrodite girl I was expected to be. Before he could say anything we ran past him into the infirmary. One of the Apollo kids cleaned my head and gave me a bandage and some necter. I drank it eagerly, I was so thirsty i haden't drank anthing since yesterday. I was to anxious for Liv to show up. I got so lonely being the only one of my friends to stay year round, a few of my friends stayed near by and sometimes I would visit but it wasn't the same. Just then the door flew open and a tall, built girl in a fire red hoodie, worn, ripped jeans, tall, black converse sneakers and red choker necklace came through. "what do you want Weston" I said angerly. "oh, nothing, i just heard some prissy, aphrodite girl just came in here crying like a baby and i instantly knew they meant you Riley" she countered. I opened my mouth to speak but Chiron interupted me by barging in through the door."Girls it's the first day back at camp half-blodd and i'm not going to spend it listening to you arguing with eechother, now I beleive you both have work to do so get to it.""we'll settle this later Weston", i spat. "See ya soon, wimp" she smirked and walked out. Now let me go back a few years when this whole feud started. Ella Weston ir probobly the most cruel, judgmental, jerk you will ever meet, well she is an Ares after all. She has been my worst enemy ever since my third year here when i, an Aphrodite, beat her in a one-on-one sword fight during capture the flag and her whole cabin ignored her for days. Being an Aphrodite people expect me to be the prissy girly girl like most other Aphrodites but every else can except that I'm not except for Ella and a few other Aphrodities(who it is impossible to argue with) But even though I don't act like an Aphrodite, i still look like one but I can't help that. I'm tiny and short but i'm faster then all my friends and pretty good with planning and quick thinking. I'Ve tried to explain this to Chiron every time a quest comes up but he doesn't think I'm ready. But I swear, the next time a quest comes up, I'm coming to show the whole camp I'm not some stupid Aphrodite, I'm a real warrior and I can do everything you can and even more.
