Disclaimer: I don't own PJO. This will have nothing to do with Percy and his friends. In fact, they don't exist, but the whole demigod and Half-Blood Hill thing does. Now, let's get started. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Bayleigh POV

"Bayleigh!" Demitri called from outside my window.

I poked my head out. "What?"

"We have to leave. Now. Like, right now."

"Why?" Certainly the monsters couldn't have found Josh yet, could they?

"Why do you think?"

"Oh." Well, it was bound to happen sometime. "Alright, let's go." I went downstairs, got my shoes on, and walked out into the breezy night. I didn't have to tell my parents, they were used to my comings and goings. And there, next to Demitri, stood a rather confused-looking Josh. Josh was short and skinny, with dark brown hair, and green eyes flecked with gold. Demitri was short and skiiny, also, but with blond hair and blue eyes. I have wavy brownish-blondish hair, and greenish-bluish eyes, I have a medium-but-on-the-taller-side height and a lean build. Everything about me-even physically-showed that I just could not make up my mind.

Josh spoke up. "Where are you guys taking me? You're all crazy! And I have to be home soon."

Demitri replied, "You're not going home. You're going to camp."

"Camp? I don't go to camp. I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but I do know that if I'm not home in like five minutes, my mom's gonna freak."

I bent down so I could look him in his eyes. ""Look. I know you're really confused right now, but we have to get you to camp. It's not safe here. But first we have to figure out a way to get to camp safely." Now I looked at Demitri. "I think we should take a bus."

"I don't like it," Demitri sighed, " but I think it's the only way to go." All demigods hated buses. Them being so public and all. Anything can get onto them. They can trick you, capture you, kill you, and next thing you know, you're asking great-great-great-great-aunt Birte what the Stone Ages were like.

And with that, Josh hesitantly following, we made our way to the nearest bus station. We boarded the bus, and since Half-Blood Hill wasn't far away, we didn't run into any monsters, thankfully.

We walked past the camp's borders, and I pointed out the magical tree protecting the camp's borders to Josh.

"See that gold blanket over there?" When he nodded I continued. "It's called the golden fleece. It protects Half-Blood Hill from monsters. No mortals can enter, either."

"How?" Josh asked. Typical.

"Well, no one really knows. The gods stole it from Polyphemus(Sorry if I spelled it wrong), a giant Cyclops a while back. It's been protecting the camp ever since." As we walked on, I introduced him to Chiron, a centaur.

"Ah, I see you have completed your quest. Well done. Have you figured out which god he is the offspring of yet?" Chiron asked.

"No, not yet."

"Whose daughter are you?" Josh asked me..

"I am a daughter of Poseidon, the sea god, and Demitri is the son of Apollo, the sun god."

"Well, what can you do?"

"Lots of stuff. I haven't really figured it all out yet, though. I basically just control water."

"That's so cool! What can I do?" Josh asked me eagerly.

"Well, we haven't really figured it out yet. Maybe you're the son of Apollo, or Athena. I don't really think you're the son of Hades or Hera though."

"Why not?"

"Well, your features aren't dark, and you really don't look anything like Hera."

"Um...I should take that as a compliment, right?"

"Depends." He looked at me quizically so I said, "None of the gods are ugly, but they all look different."

"Oh."

"Yeah. So, why don't you go over to the Hermes cabin, where all unclaimed demigods go, unpack, and then we'll see you at dinner."

"What time is dinner?" Well, this kid just didn't stop with the questions, did he?

"In fifteen minutes."

"Alright, see you later."

"Bye." And with that, we both went our separate ways, Josh to the Hermes cabin, me to the dinner area.
