Ah yes, what a way to start this wonderful day! Where my entire knowledge on the universe gets flipped. Upside down then, sideways, then upside, down, well you get the point. Its gets flipped. 

A lot.

See I was just casually baking a couple soft pretzels, while the donuts are proofing. My sister was waitressing. Around two minutes ago two people arrived. First a man, and with him a purple haired girl. 

They sat down, and ordered two soft pretzels, which I'm currently making. I watch as the two talk, and the man bury's his head in his hand. 

For some reason he has a baseball bat? I blink not rubbing my eyes with my hands. I don't want flour in my eyes ok? But it's still a bat. Sierra notices too, and asks the man to put the bat away. 

He looks surprised but doesn't comply. Sierra stops insisting that's not her job, she's paid to take peoples orders not regulate "safety". 

Sierra eventually goes on her lunch-break eating some crackers with cream cheese, and butter. 

What the hell is her diet? Sure we're both vegetarian but crackers with creme cheese? 

"You should just eat a bagel." I tell her "Or chocolate." I add then stealing a singular cracker. Am I violating health regulations? Yes. Do I care no. 

I hear the crows talking about shiny stuff outside. Why I have this power? I know now at least.

She hits my hand as if telling me to not touch her crackers. "Since when did you care about health?" She asks licking creme cheese off her fingers. 

Just then a huge grey dog breaks through the window. Their ears huge, dripping over their face. A coat of grey, with streaks of black fur on his body. Their eyes? A blood grey red. 

I scream, Sierra screams. I drop the plate of two pretzels on the floor, as the glass plate shatters, and the shard scatter across the titled floor.

I watch as the man plays pipes, and the dog erupts into golden dust. Can my day get any worse? I look closer the man is fucking half goat. Half goat. 

"You two cupcakes." He says pointing at me, and my sister "I'm bringing you to camp." With that I was sold. 

A free camp? Me, and my sister have been homeless for a year, a free place that's warm? You can shower. You can not say no to that.

I share a look with Sierra as she nods her head. The two people dash out the door, me, and Sierra following close behind. Before leaving I grab me, and Sierra's backpack, we don't have that much stuff, and are too broke to buy a second one. I watch as Sierra dashes to the alley grabs her skateboard then rides back out.

"You didn't get mine?" I ask not annoyed but kind of annoyed.

"You never asked." She says riding ahead as I run trying to catch up. 

I follow in silence eventually finally catching up. We start walking now so I can finally stop running.

"You two kids are half-bloods one of your parents is a god or goddess, I'm a satyr Coach Hedge cupcakes." Coach Hedge says as I nod in response.

Sierra probably knows all this being a mind reader, and all.

Now you're probably thinking so confusing yada, yada. You came to read me yap not you. Sorry not sorry.

But I can talk, and understand animals, and it will never turn off. Sierra my sister who's awesome by the way, can read peoples mind. But not at will. She hears everyones thoughts, and it drives her crazy mad.

"Our moms a goddess." Sierra says as if it's the most normal thing ever.

"My moms also a goddess!" The purple haired girl says "Corinna Rin for short." She says starting going into a speed-walk.

"Yeah, Ima call you Cori." Sierra says I mean she speaks her mind. After she says that she sticks her tongue out for dramatic effect.

Sierra then goes ahead, probably definitely knowing where she's going. She then does a heel flip on her skateboard, again for dramatic effect. 

Dramatic! 

"I know what you're thinking." Sierra scolds me in a hushed tone, not everyone needs to know everything, despite me being the older sibling. She claims to be the smarter sibling. "For dramatic effect." She mocks as hedge explains we got to take a plane to Long Island, New York.

Time skip ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not like flying, that's all you need to know. But of course flying! How else are we meant to get to Long Island?I agreed to a camp this camp is quite far dude.

Me, and Sierra both have nothing this should be a nice flight. I sit in the middle seat saving the window seat for Sierra, I watch as she puts her board in the overhead compartment. She then sits in the window seat. I sling my backpack off my shoulder, and place it on the floor.

"I'm sleeping night brother." She tells me then putting her head on my shoulder, and promptly falling asleep. 

How am I meant to sleep? I'm with two strangers, and one has a bat, and could kill me. Call me paranoid but I semi value my life, Sierra's I fully value. I'd die for that girl who is not smarter then me.

"Soo your names?" Corinna asks sitting down.

"I'm Sam, and my sister's Sierra." I tell her 

"Taking off fasten your seat belts." The announcement blares through the whatever am I meant to know? I don't like planes. With that the plane takes off.

"Nice names." Corinna says as I nod in response. I grab my grey backpack opening it, then grabbing those really dry pretzel snacks. I open the bag, and much on pretzels. Corinna asks for some as I hand her some. Weirdly dry. 

Eventually we finally land, as I wake Sierra up. Well I try too she doesn't wake up.

"WAKE UP CUPCAKE!" Coach Hedge screams as Sierra jolts up.

"I'm, I'm up." She mumbles then standing up. 

We get off the plane then go through security. Don't ask me how none of us had passports but hey this Coach Hedge guy did magic-y magic.

We eventually exit, hail a taxi, and get to camp.

But of course! The universe hates us! We see a singular bronze bull. Why the hell is it bronze? The bull is fully made of bronze the size of an elephant. Eyes like a forges flames. With two bronze horns to complete the entire look.

"Colchis bull." Sierra mumbles Hedge must've heard her.

"You know of it?" He asks shocked shit Sierra mind reading is like not something you share. Sierra just nods her head, and lets the topic drop. We watch as a fleet of young people in armour charge the bull, and take it down.

"NEW CAMPERS!" One scream to whatever's on the other side of the hill. The guy in the head walks down to us, as we slowly walk up the hill. Hedge runs straight ahead.

"Luke Castellan." He says "Son of Hermes nice to meet you!" He greets us as we reach the top of the hill.

"Sam Witlock son of two bitches." I greet which he laughs too.

"The gods? Yeah." He says as we walk down the hill. "Since none of you are claimed you're gonna stay in the Hermes cabin." He says as he runs off to the Hermes cabin.

Sierra, Corinna, and I chase after him making it to the cabin. "Somebodies going to steal your skateboard." Luke tells Sierra to which she looks absolutely terrified.

"Let them try." Sierra says placing the board on the ground. "I need a nap." She goes onto a bunk bed then immediately collapses. 

"Alright I trust you two go make friends dinner is when the conch horn thing rings." Luke says then running out of the cabin.

Me, and Corinna then walked around camp for a bit speculating godly parents, wondering if we were siblings. And talking about how our brains are about to explode. 

Just then a girl with curly blonde hair, and stormy grey eyes walks up to us. "Hi!" She says "Annabeth Chase nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too!" Corinna says "Corinna Ioannou." 

"Sam Witlock." I tell her as ma, and Corinna then ask a bunch of questions about this place.

Eventually we're back on the hill at a huge pine tree. Annabeth looks to be going up, and talking to the tree. "Hey Thalia!" She greets the tree "Chiron says my quest is coming soon!"

"Wait, wait, wait the tree has a name?" I question both my existence, and if the tree has a name. 

"The story is that this tree is Thalia Grace daughter of Zeus." Annabeth explains "When she was." Her voice breaks "She was about to die her dad turned her into a pine tree."

"That's stupid just send lightning bolts." Corinna says she's not wrong.

"The gods are strange." She tells us as a conch horn blows "Dinner or lunch or whatever." Me, and Corinna then dash down the hill ending up at a dining pavilion. 

I say bye to Corinna then go to wake Sierra up. I walk into the Hermes cabin to see her talking to a guy. With sleek black hair, a eye patch on one of his eyes, and a nasty scar on his nose.

"Hi Sam!" Sierra says "This is Ethan Nakamura he's cool." 

"Nice to meet you is it dinner already?" He asks standing up as I nod, then those two dash out of the cabin. I walk outside as well, heading to eat some food. I enter the pavilion grabbing a slice or two of cheese pizza to eat.

As I sit down with the Hermes cabin the cabin stands up, and throws food in a fire.

Luke walking whispers to me "Sacrifice food to the gods." I nod, and go to sacrifice some perfectly good food.

"Whatever god or goddess is looking out for me." I say scraping a slice of cheese pizza into the fire. I notice a little girl sitting by the fireplace her eyes blazes but comforting flames, not scary. 

"Hi!" I hear Sierra say as Sierra, and the little girl have a conversation. I then sit down, and eat my pizza. It's really good pizza. Corinna sits beside me eating chocolate? Well chocolate strawberries, and a soft pretzel.

Once we finish eating we have to go to a campfire? I don't even know.

One campfire later

"Night." I tell Sierra as my head hits a pillow. And I head to dreamland. 

adios amigos! And if you're single on Valentines day just know I am too *cries in single* sending you platonic love!
