Laurel's point of view-
That morning I woke up to an almost empty cabin, which was surprising since the Hermes cabin was always overflowing with demigods. Slowly, I got up from the floor, checked for pranks, tried not to trip on other people's things, got dressed, and left. As soon as I left, I saw my best friend Katie Gardener walking down the hill. "Wait up," I panted, running to reach her, "Where are you going?"
"2 new campers, supposed to be as thin as twigs and scared out of their wits" she called back, slowing her pace "I want to meet them!" New campers, I thought wonder which cabin they're in. I had pretty much been obsessed with cabins and Olympian parents ever since I realized mine was never going to claim me, whoever she was. As I reached the bottom of half-blood hill I saw 2 scrawny figures, around 13 or 14, my age, huddled together their dirty blond hair wet and unkempt and their clothes ripped and dripping.
"What are their names?" I whispered to Katie,
"Kayla and Austin" She replied distractedly. Why are they so wet? I wondered. Then I looked around and realized that outside the camps magical barriers, it was pouring rain.
"Poor guys!" I anxiously said to Katie.
"When will Chiron tell them about— gods?" I said muttering the last part. I remember how freaked out I was when Chiron told me about them. I screamed and shouted that they were all lying, but after a while I realized that if the lava on climbing wall was fake, my clothes wouldn't be so charred. Soon Chiron wheeled into the scene
"Nothing to see here!" He broke into coughs. "Just some new campers, go back to you regular activities" Our activities director said, breaking my train of thought. I saw Chiron gently herd the twins inside, probably to give them their orientation.
