Camp Half Blood

I wake up in a wooden rocking chair, being spoon fed what tastes like chocolate chip pancake pudding by Lily who is wearing an orange t-shirt that read CHB. I look over at the chair next to mine and I see Percy drinking what looked like apple juice, talking with Grover, but he doesn't have goat legs anymore. I was exhausted last night, the goat legs must have been a hallucination, right? 

"Hey your up. What does this taste like to you?" Lily asks me shoving another spoonful of the pudding stuff in my mouth. 

"Chocolate chip pancakes," I swallowed "Where are we?" Grover shot a warning look at her, then goes back to talking to Percy. Next I know he stomped his foot so hard it came off!!! I knew it he was a satyr.

"Here drink this Lily told me handing me a drink similar to Percy's. I take a sip through the green straw it tastes like cheesy ham and potato soup, creamy and smooth as it runs down my throat. It's my favorite comfort food. I drain the glass delightedly.

"Careful Kia, no more of that for you." Lily warns taking my empty glass.

"Come on you two, Chiron and Mr. D are waiting for you." Grover said. We stand up weakly and head for the door. As soon as I stick my head out the farmhouse door, I am slapped in the face with the wonderfully overwhelming scent of ripe strawberries (it literally smells like fresh baked strawberry pie)!!! We follow the wrap-around porch to the other side of the house, and as I turn the corner, I stop breathing. I almost fainted, everything was so beautiful. The vivid green valley running all the way to the sparkling water about a mile in the distance. All around us are (new looking) ancient Greek architecture, with pearly white columns shining in the mid-day sun. There were canoers paddling gracefully in the glittering water, and lots of people, kids mostly, running around in orange shirts, running around a cluster of twelve unique cabins, doing different out of the ordinary activities. I look over an see two men sitting at a small square card table and a blonde haired girl with storm gray eyes like mine, leaning up against the porch rail next to them. 

"Lily, why does that girl look just like me?" I asked nervously in her ear.

"Because she's your sister!" She whispered back. I must have miss heard her or something, or she was pulling my leg to mess with me. I hear the boys muttering back and forth to each other but then Grover points at one of the men at the tiny card table and I realized it was:

"MR. BRUNNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Percy and I cry in unison. He then did the strangest thing, he invited Percy to play pinochle! He sat down with them and then Mr. B called over the blonde, apparently her name is Annabeth. They then had a long conversation I didn't pay any attention because I was too stunned. I observed her more closely, she had a very athletic look about her, she is very tan and is taller than Percy by a few inches, and looks about his age.

"...the forces you call Greek gods are very much alive." I hear randomly.

"WHAT?!" I asked snapping back in to reality. Everyone stared at me, and I blushed deep red. I listened intently as Chiron (a.k.a. Mr. B) explained everything. It was very easy, surprisingly for me to grasp, Percy on the other hand, well that's something else completely.

"Now Lila," The other man at the table said, he is small, had big watery eyes, curly almost purple-black hair, and wore a tiger pattern Hawaiian shirt. To be completely honest he looked like a drunk.

"It's Lily, Mr. D, yes sir." Mr. D, wait they where just discussing this, it's Dionysus!!! Well that would explain everything I just said.

"What ever Willy, do we know what cabin she belongs in?" Mr. D asked still not saying her name right.

"Cabin six." She replied calmly with an eye roll and left. At this I saw Annabeth perk up immediately, and left to go to get our bunks ready for us, as instructed. Chiron gets up out of his wheel chair and instead of seeing and average sized man, I see a horse immerge from the wheel chair. HE'S A CENTAR!!!!!!!!! This day can't get any crazier. We start off on our tour of the camp, Chiron bringing us around to the different cabins. they each had a different number ion them as well, odds on the left evens on the right and they're in a U formation.

(This is just the order there in name wise, really picture up top!! -Sonny B)

We traveled to cabin eleven where Annabeth was waiting for us reading patiently. She showed Percy his makeshift cabin space, in Hermes cabin (11). I peek in the door and see that it's absolutely crowded! Like no room, at all, for anything!!! I see a tall, handsome boy about nineteen, short sandy blonde hair, muscular, drop dead gorgeous, the typical. I thought I saw Annabeth blushing, but then again that seems impossible! Oh great now everyone in there is laughing at Percy and Annabeth's dragging him out of there!

"Come on you got to be better than that Jackson! I really thought you were the one!"

"I killed a bull man, what do you mean?" He asks offended, I can't blame him though. Then as they talked about monsters I saw a familiar face in the door way of cabin seven.

"Luna!?" I screamed racing toward her. She ran delicately to me and gave me a big hug. "Cabin seven, hmm." I say trying to look at her cabin. "Why is it so Gold and impossible to look at!"

"I'm a daughter of Apollo!!!" She exclaimed dreamily, and spun in a weird circle. 

"Luna, where'd you go?!" A boy equally as blonde as Luna asked scanning the area. 

"Who's your friend Luna?" I ask her amused that she had someone looking for her.

"That's Will Solace, he's twelve. He's my half brother, everyone in cabin seven are my half siblings. What cabin are you and Percy in?!" She asked me excitedly.

"I'm in six right across the way, Percy is Undetermined? What ever that means."


"Oh, that means they don't know who his parent is, he hasn't been claimed yet. So your in cabin six, another wise girl!!!" Will said with a friendly grin.

"What is that suppose to mean?" I asked with a giggle.

"Your a daughter of Athena! Duh!" He said teasing me like I always do to my friends. I try to make a comeback but I can't speak. Athena, I'm a daughter of Athena!!! Well that explains the owl stuff I keep getting! Suddenly my thoughts are interrupted by Percy being dragged by his hair to the bathrooms. I rush over to help him but just like at the museum the water burst out of the toilet, missing Percy and Hitting the bully, and everyone else, including Annabeth and myself! 

      Annabeth continued showing us around the rest of the camp. It was huge with a metal shop, arts and crafts room, and climbing wall, and then back to the canoeing lake, where there was a trail back to the cabins. 

"I have some training to do, dinner's at seven-third. Just follow your cabin to the mess hall." Annabeth said to Percy and then turned to me "I never learned your name."

"Kiana Carter, you can call me Kia though." I reply being as polite as possible to one of my new half-sisters.

"Sweet, so where you listening to anything I was saying to Percy?" She asked looking less tense, more relaxed, but still soaked.

"Um yeah. So everyone here is related?!" I ask really surprised.

"Kind of. We're all cousins!" She said with a shrug. "Ok, I lied. I'm not going to train, I'm going to get changed. Follow me, I'll bring you to our cabin! You're a daughter of..."

"Athena. Yeah Will from cabin seven told me. So do we ever get to see our Mom?" I ask thinking of the picture of her in my photo album. I look over at her as she hangs her head with a slight frown. "I'll take that as a no, did you ever get to meet her?"

"Well kind of, they stay around for a little while, but leave before we grow old enough to remember. Ask anyone, no one remembers them!" She replied irritated. I smiled at her and grab the small photo album from my owl purse.

"Do you want to see what she looks like?" I ask her holding out the album to her.

"You can't have a picture of her, Athena is he goddess of wisdom, she would see it unwise to have her picture taken and give it to mortals. How'd you get this!" She asked looking at the picture of our mother. As she peers into my families photo, longing for one of her own I see a single tear run down her face, and then she just let the tears flow. Embarrassed to be crying in front of other camper, including me, she ran to Cabin six but before she entered, shoved the picture back at me wiped her eyes and marched in confidently. I follow close behind in to a beautiful cabin with a gold domed roof and pearly white walls. The are several bunks pushed to the side, and a long table full of architecture blue prints, and other crazy things. I scan the small area with the bunks and see my white and gold suitcase next to one of them. I opened it up and went to the bathroom to get changed out of my still soaking wet clothes. 

"Your other half-sister, seems to have had everything ready for you!" (another) tall handsome boy stated while looking at my suitcase. "Most new campers have nothing and Luke or one of the other campers from Hermes cabin needs to steal them some toiletry, toothbrush, toothpaste, so on." 

"How do you know about my sister?" I ask stiffly with slanted eyebrows.

"Lily talks all about you all the time to us campers in cabin six, you've had a reserved bunk for about 5 years know. All of us in here know all about you." He said with a lopsided smile and kindness in his storm gray eyes. "I assume she gave you all the owl stuff? he said glancing at my necklace and purse.

"Yeah, she's pretty awesome. What's your name? Do you know what cabin she's in?" I ask in a heart beat.

"My name is Owen Roberts, and did your sister never tell you? She lives in the big house, her Mom doesn't have a cabin because she's a minor goddess!"

"Who's  her Mom?!" I ask appalled that she didn't have a cabin. 

"She's the daughter of Soteria, goddess of safety!"
