Chapter Two: New Camper (Percy)
We were able to sit at any table now. So as I ran into the pavilion with my famous (but fake, not that they knew) lopsided smirk, I walked over and sat next to Annabeth, Nico, Leo, Calypso, and the rest of the seven.
I sacrificed my food to Poseidon, then sat down and ate, talking and joking with my friends.
When we were done eating (Nico and I can't eat because of our time in Tartarus, so we just pretend to. Nico was cursed so that after he ate the last pomegranate seed, he wouldn't be able to truly eat again. I got a curse from the arai. Annabeth can though- she didn't get cursed with that), Annabeth and I walked towards the beach.
Then I heard a scream, and I immediately uncapped Riptide and ran in the direction that the voice had come from. I found myself at Thalia's pine tree.
There was a kid running from a hellhound. I quickly ran up and killed the thing.
The monster exploded into yellow dust.
The kid looked around and saw me. I had ran so fast that I was a blur- he didn't know that I was there until I had stopped moving, after the monster was dead.
I walked up to the kid. I put out my hand after capping Riptide and placing it in my pocket.
"Hi," I said. "My name is Percy. What's yours?"
"I'm Ted," he replied. He shook my hand. I got a closer look at him and realized that he had messy black hair and sea green eyes like mine. I knew one thing.
I had a brother.
We walked into camp and faced the crowd that had formed. None of them had seen me fight just then, except for Nico, who had shadow traveled just in time to see the monster explode into dust.
I looked at Ted.
"Okay," I said. "You can follow Chiron and he'll give you a tour." Ted nodded.
Then he followed Chiron, confused on why he was half horse.
I turned back to the crowd. It slowly dispersed as I walked towards the beach with Annabeth. We sat down and she looked at me. She looked exited.
"That kid!" She said. "Did you notice how he looked?"
"Yes," I replied. "I have a brother!"
The rest of the day went by quickly, but I started to notice something.
Recently, Jason had been shooting my looks. I couldn't be sure exactly, but I was starting to think he was jealous of me or something.
I wouldn't understand what he would be jealous about. Did he want to be famous? He already was. Did he want to be famous for killing loads of Monsters? He has done that.
Okay, I have to, and I don't want to, admit, that I have killed more monsters than him. But doesn't he know that I didn't ever want to be famous? I guess not.
I have seen to many of my friends die, I have been helpless while they died. That never happened to him. He shouldn't want my life. No one should.
And if he is jealous, maybe he should just talk to me. I could explain it to him. He didn't talk to me though. Instead, he took action against me.
