Only for to turn into a frown as she looked around her new cabin, seeing all the empty bunks, the walls glowing like abalone, and just taking in the sheer silence of it.
'…And I'm completely miserable.' Andromeda thought, looking down at how lonely and depressing it is to have a cabin all to herself.
Even worse, when she'd just started feeling at home in Cabin Eleven, to feel like a normal kid, or as normal as one can be when they're a demigod. Only to just as quickly be separated from everyone else, not helping how they all looked at her when she was claimed and then switching cabins.
Shaking her head, Andromeda got up and got changed into her spare clothes consisting of navy blue jeans and an orange Camp Half-Blood shirt. Before she exited the cabin to go meet Annabeth for their morning lessons, only to notice all the campers immediately look at her the moment she came out. Making the girl sigh at seeing the majority of them were now giving her wary and fearful looks, along with going out of their to avoid her.
'I guess no one wants to be around for when the ground suddenly opens up and swallows me or a lightning bolt to come down.' Andromeda thought, given the fact she shouldn't even exist, but because she does, she'll be facing the consequences of her father breaking his oath.
And no one wants to be around the girl that'd have two of the Big Three after her head, or anything else that'll happen to her in retaliation for existing.
'Starting to wish my dad was a Minor God.' Thought Andromeda, knowing how much easier that would make things, instead her luck only seemed to be getting worse.
Luckily, it wasn't long before Andromeda arrived at the amphitheater and saw Annabeth already waiting for her.
"Hey Annabeth. So what're we-" Andromeda said, wondering what they'd go over today, only to stop when the Daughter of Athena scowled at her.
"Sit down. Be quiet. And just listen." Said Annabeth before opening up a book without looking at the ravenette, making Andromeda sigh and sit down.
'Guess that's one less friend I have, then.' Andromeda mentally stated, seeing that Annabeth didn't want anything to do with her either.
Figuring it'd be best to just do as Annabeth said, Andromeda listened as the blonde demigod went over the gods and goddesses, as well as having her practice her Ancient Greek and Latin. The latter which only seemed to annoy Annabeth further whenever the Daughter of Poseidon messed up the words and had to try again.
With this continuing for almost two hours until Annabeth suddenly slammed her book shut and began gathering up everything.
"We're done for today, try to study more on your own time, so you don't keep messing up." Annabeth said, making Andromeda frown at her.
"I'm doing the best I can, this is all still new to me. Maybe you could try taking things a little slower." Said Andromeda, only for the blonde to scowl at her like she just poked her between the eyes before stalking away.
"…Quest…Poseidon?…Dirty rotten…Got to make a plan…" Annabeth muttered, the ravenette sighing at this, doubting she'd be friends with Annabeth again.
'Guess I better go see if I still have someone to teach me how to use a sword.' Andromeda thought, getting up to head to the arena, only to stop when she saw Jakob standing there.
"O-Oh, hey Jakob." Andromeda said with a small smile, unable to help but blush as her mind went back to that moment she felt his muscles and his warm body before she quickly shook them away.
"How are you feeling?" Jakob asked with what appeared to be a sympathetic expression on his face.
Andromeda was about to say she was fine... but sighed and shook her head. "Miserable. I'm all alone in my cabin, everyone's afraid of me and Annabeth's acting cold to me as well."
"I wouldn't take it personally, lass." Mimir said, Jakob reaching to hold the head up so Andromeda could see him. "Her mother, Athena, and your father are rivals. She's just acting like she believes she's supposed to."
"A ridiculous excuse." Jakob scoffed, not impressed with the way Annabeth's been acting. "She must remember she is not her mother and you are not your father. Believe me, I know what it's like to be sent looks of fear given who my father is and what he's done over the centuries."
Andromeda figured that of all people, Jakob is the one who understands her. He hadn't spoken much of his father or his relationship, but it was clear that from what he did reveal and how he spoke of Thor... it wasn't the typical father/son relationship. Mimir had once mentioned that Thor was known as the 'biggest butchering bastard in all Nine Realms' and that gave her a clue as to what Thor was like in person.
If she had been the child of a man like that, she wouldn't blame anyone for looking at her with fear or even disgust.
As the old expression goes; the sins of the father shall be visited upon the children.
"Come." Jakob said suddenly, causing Andromeda to be brought from her thoughts and see the son of Thor walking away.
Confused she jogged to catch up. "Where are we going?"
"You need training in your combat skills, so I'll be the one to teach you." Jakob explained patiently before he levelled her with a hard look. "But my training isn't for the faint of heart. I will hear no complaints, no whining, no long breaks. Nothing. If you are going to be a warrior, then I'm going to train you to become one. Am I understood?"
Andromeda swallowed a lump in her throat, seeing how deadly serious he was and his tone made her get just as serious as she nodded with resolve. "Yes, you are."
"We will also train with your powers." Jakob said as they began walking side-by-side. "Improve your Hydrokinesis, among anything else you've inherited from your father."
"Any ideas?" Andromeda asked curiously.
