Nico POV
I woke up at 7:00AM to the new alarm clock singing "Meet Me Halfway" by the Black Eyed Peas.
"Ugh. Why do I have to wake…wait a minute…" I was pushed out of my train of thought when the lyrics were not the way they were supposed to, neither were the voices.
"Ooh,
I can't go any further than this.
Ooh,
I want you so badly,
It's my biggest wish" The voice wasn't Fergie at all. It was…someone else's. It sounded so familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"I spend my time just thinking thinking thinking 'bout you,
Every single day,
Yes, I'm really missing, missing you" I couldn't believe my ears at all. I heard my voice. I sat there petrified at what I was hearing. I've never even sung that song in my life.
"Can you meet me halfway?
Right up the border line,
Is where I'm gonna to wait,
For you.
I'll be looking out,
Night and day.
Took my Heart to the limit.
And this is where I'll stay." I turned the thing off before I could freak out even more. Then there's a knock at the door. I drag myself to it to Sam running in and saying something to fast and unintelligible. When she finally turns to me is when I get to close the door. I'm just staring at her all confused until she actually slows down.
"Okay, listen. I was just getting my cabin ready for cabin inspection with the music turned up, when "Meet Me Halfway" comes up and it's not Fergie's voice but with someone else's voice that seems familiar-"
"That's exactly what happened to me. I was sleeping when my alarm clock wakes me up with that song and not Fergie's voice. Neither were the others, it was…my voice." I said freaking out again but trying my hardest not to show it. You see, ever since the quest, of convincing the Gods that Sam and Verxa were no threat to Olympus, ended me and Sam felt like something was missing in our lives. We tried all these things but were never able to fill in the blank. We tried seeing if anyone else who went on the quest with us felt the same but they all said no, that their lives were whole. So, Sam and I shared these types of odd happenings with each other hoping we could piece it together but we never got further than deciding where the first piece of the puzzle should go. We both tried these things but none of them really worked as solutions. Then none other than one of the new campers, called Leo Valdez, burst into my cabin.
"You guys have to see this." He said and left. We, of course, followed him to…the borderline. 'Just like the song'. I looked over to Sam and saw she had the same expression. What the Hades was happening? I was confused to the head until I saw it. There were three girls lying on Thalia's tree along with three black backpacks. The first girl was probably an inch smaller than Leo, had dark brown hair that went just below her shoulders, Hispanic tan, pink neon converse low-tops, white shirt with light blue jeans, along with a few scratches and bruises on her arms. Right next to her was a girl with slick light brown hair, peach colored skin, light blue Nike high-tops, dark blue jeans, green v-neck, with a long slash on her arm and a purple bruise the size of my palm on the other. The third looked awfully familiar and I felt some of the blank fill in. The third girl had black converse, a little darker than tan skin, dark brown hair anyone could mistake for black, a black Quicksilver cap, gray polo, black jeans, and monster gashes on both fore-arms and a minor head injury the size of my index finger. The girl with the neon pink shoes woke up showing us chocolate brown eyes and tried to wake up the girl with the light blue Nikes.
"Wh-what Sa- oh shoot." She said before her black eyes widened at the look of us trying to wake up the person with the cap.
"Ugh. What happened? I told you guys…oh." She said before looking up at us to reveal dark brown eyes on the verge of black.
"Out of our way you brats! Let me see what this crowd is for! Oh." Mr. D said followed by Chiron in his wheelchair form.
"Why hello you three, do you mind telling us whom you are and whom your parents are if you know them?" Chiron kindly said. The two girls looked at the one in the cap and she nodded.
"Very well, I am Sabrina. My father is George Bran and my mother is Athena." The one with the pink shoes replied.
"I'm Dorimar but I prefer to be called DJ, my mom is Savannah and my father is Ares." The one with the Nikes added.
"I am Alek; my father is unknown to my knowledge-" the one with the cap tried to say.
"Oh this is just great, another year-rounder to take up space!"
"Oh Dionysus, you wouldn't want to be talking like that to a daughter of Hestia." She said with a smirk. Mr. D's eyes widened before he cleared his throat and made a run for it to the Big house. She rolled her eyes and chuckled. I just kept staring at her. In her eyes I saw someone I knew before but couldn't place my finger on.
"Okay you three come with me."

Third person POV
The three girls followed the man in the wheelchair while in disbelief of the world around them. Just about a week and five days ago had DJ and Sabrina been attacked by what Alek described as a kindly one. Then in only two days was she able to convince their parents to take them to a place called Camp Half-Blood. So now they were at this place. Then all of a sudden this dirty blond with crooked teeth comes and puts her arm over Sabrina.
"Hi I'm CC. I'm the cabin leader of the Athena cabin so I heard that you will be a newbie-"
"CC why do you keep acting like you're the senior counselor when you're not?" another girl with an Athletic tan, gray eyes, and blond hair in a high ponytail came over and 'CC' ran off to places unknown.
"I apologize for that. I'm Annabeth, Annabeth Chase, the REAL senior counselor. So, pretty much I'm kind of the leader of the Athena cabin."
"Oh cool."
"Yeah so are you going to be a year-rounder?"
"I don't know. I'm going to write my dad a letter soon asking if I should stay or come back to do school and all."
"Alright when Chiron has finished up with you, ask him if I could give you the tour around camp okay?"
"Alright sure." She then left her alone with the man in the wheelchair and her two friends.
"What was that about?" DJ asked Sabrina.
"Oh, that was Annabeth Chase, the Athena cabin's senior counselor. She just introduced herself and told me that she could give me a tour around the place."
"Ah. But what was the dirty blond doing?"
"Impersonating the senior counselor."
"Okay…" she continued to walk on until she herself was attacked by a huge brunette with huge muscles, and a bandana.
"I'm Clarisse La Rue, the Ares cabin senior counselor. Now you want to stay on my good side if you don't want to have the usual initiation ceremony." She had a look in her eyes that said she'd be willing to do it and wasn't kidding a bit.
"Alright, I'm DJ." DJ simply replied.
"Okay so, you have to meet with me after the tour of camp, at the cabin, so we can talk a little about being on my good side." DJ nodded with a quick "Okay," As she continued on.
"So, I see you two have met the cabin leaders?" Alek asked.
"You could say that. I got a threat while Sabrina over here gets a quick hello and nice greeting."
"Well, that's Clarisse. Always head-strong threatening to pulverize you if you got in her face, irritated her, or got on her bad side."
"Yeah I have a feeling the Athena cabin is more of a knowledge based cabin than yours DJ, a more…warlike cabin society."
"Actually, you couldn't be more right Sabrina. There are places like Spartia, a place in Greece in which it almost takes after Ares, where there is much cruelty. For example, did you know that when a boy was born, the family put him out in a storm-"
"Why would ANYONE do that to a baby?"
"And see if he survived. If he did, then he would move on with his life and if not, well then that's that. Spartia is very unlike Athens where they focus on knowledge more than strength or if you would survive a storm or not. You two are even lucky you know each other now, before you two knew your godly parents, or if you came before you two were friends then…well…you probably wouldn't be friends at all since the…hatred between them."
"Why do you say probably Alek? Would Sabrina and I be friends or-"
"Possibilities are always endless." She said rather nervous.
"Alek me and DJ only want the truth."
"I'm not telling a lie."
"Still tell us why you said probably."
"Okay. You remember Annabeth right, the cabin leader for the Athena cabin?" they both nodded. "Well, you know how Poseidon and Athena also don't like each other a lot either?" they nodded again. "Well, even though their parents don't fancy it a lot, a son of Poseidon and Annabeth are…well…in a relationship. Hard to believe but it happened." They just nodded as the three gathered into the farmhouse.
"Alright since you three are new; you will be assigned to your cabins and have the tour. Now who did you say your mom was Sabrina and do you mind telling me your age?"
"Athena is my mom, and I'm 15."
"Okay, DJ who was your godly parent and what is your age?"
"Ares is my dad, and I am also 15."
"That is very odd. Do you mind telling me how you got here?"
"Long story…Chiron." Alek started. Sabrina and DJ stared at her in disbelief. Was this really him? They were confirmed by her alright. The only reason their parents let her take them to Camp Half-Blood all the way from Florida, and how they got there alive, was because she showed her trustworthiness and she knew more about Greek mythology than them.
"I love stories. I especially love the stories about heroes."
"Very well, it started the day when I followed a monster to the school. The one DJ and Sabrina were in. I had to find the demigods fast and before it caught them. That's when I learned it was these two because they were attacked by a kindly one. I took them straight to their parents after the incident and them being expelled to tell their parents what happened. After convincing their parents what would have to be done they let me take them to this place. Now while on our way, we bumped into monsters here and there, gotten ambushed, had to save innocents from the monsters, and apparently got away with it. We, fortunately, made it here safe and sound. So we are here today."
"Alright, well DJ and Sabrina may take the tour of camp while Alek and I may speak about her cabin."
"Oh yes, I almost forgot, Chiron, may I have my tour with Annabeth, the Athena cabin senior counselor?"
"Very well-"
"May I be with her as well?"
"I guess but Athena and Ares demigods together-"
"Chiron, Sabrina and I are wonderful friends; we can be together without fighting." Chiron nodded and summoned Annabeth over.
"Alright once you're done with the tour and moving into your cabins, meet me at the lake alright?" Alek notified them, they nodded and Annabeth entered the room and collected DJ and Sabrina. Alek turned to Chiron and they started settling the Hestia cabin schedule.

Sabrina POV
After the tour, DJ and I followed Annabeth to the Ares and Athena cabins. The place seemed like any ordinary camp except for the sword arena, lava spitting climbing wall, children with these weird powers, and the unusual passing of satyrs, Cyclops' and centaurs. The cabins were just as weird. The Demeter cabin had a sort of garden on the roof, vines taking over the outside walls, and rapidly growing flowers in flower boxes. The Ares cabin was covered in barbed wire, painted bloody red, had weapons around the porch every now and then, and a wild boar head with a spear on the door. Pretty much they went with the theme of their godly parent. We dropped DJ off at her cabin and she seemed pleased with the décor. She waved at me and I waved back as she entered the cabin I would probably be scared of the rest of my life. I could only give a brief prayer for her to live before she entered the cabin and as we left to the Athena cabin. The cabin was nice with an owl on its door. Inside was even better. The place smelled of books, pencils running across papers, and friendly people. I know friendly people is not a scent but I could tell these people were and I could tell they would somewhat be almost like me. Like a half brother or sister. Wait, scratch that these people are my half brothers and sisters. After being introduced to the cabin I felt almost a feeling of being an individual. This was because everyone shared either blond hair or stormy gray eyes, I wielded none. I found myself a bunk and trunk and stuffed my backpack inside. Then all of a sudden my cabin mates are lining up at the door with towels, clothes, and toiletries.
"Um…what's going on?" I ask Annabeth.
"We're going to take our showers. Do you have what you need?"
"I would only need the toiletries and towel. I got clothes." She nodded and tossed me my necessities. We marched out to the showers and I was finally fresh and clean instead of dirty and…not so fresh.

DJ POV
The place was awesome! It was like a military cabin in there. I looked around and walked to a bunk that I assumed was vacant but was proven wrong immediately.
"This bunk is mine Iriar. Find yourself another." a guy with a scar on half his face yells.
"Fine, sheesh I just thought it was open." I retort back and head for the very back of the cabin. There I find a guy with fair muscles, pure black hair, gray eyes, an orange t-shirt that said Camp Half-Blood, and faded blue jeans polishing a sword made of what Alek told me was celestial bronze.
"You must be the new girl. DJ Iriar was it?" he said in a deep but calming voice that I was sure could turn to a threatening one.
"Yeah…hey is this top bunk-?"
"Vacant? Yes it is. But people don't really survive a night sleeping there."
"Liar." I say. It was easy to deem him a liar since I usually could tell if someone was lying just by looking in their eyes.
"Alright suit yourself, but don't blame me when we're burning your shroud tomorrow."
"I don't really care if you snore or talk in your sleep or anything as long as I can get a bunk and not get someone in my face just because I thought a bunk was open."
"Well, that's how Snow is."
"What? Did you just say Snow?"
"Yeah that's the guy who told you to back of his bunk's last name."
"And his first name is…?"
"We don't really know. But I certainly know mines. It's Neo." He then winked at me and smirked. I lifted up an eyebrow at him and he just shrugged. I stuffed my backpack in one of the camouflage trunks and remembered what Clarisse told me.
"Hey where's-" just then did the cabin door open and slam in back of Clarisse.
"Hey DJ get over here!" She yelled. I walked over to her and she started putting out details. This is going to take a while. I am so going to be late for that meeting at the lake.

A/N: Well that's that! That's the first chapter and a long one. Big progress from "The New Girls" Chapter 1 you know why? Because this is five pages alone without the A/Ns and I never double entered! I am going to end it here because if I kept going it would be WAY too much. Anyways hope you liked it and PLEASE REVIEW! Alright, see you people later! Oh and to you people who read the Hunger Games than you should know that Neo is actually supposed to be like Gale and Snow is supposed to be horrible. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Oh and the reason why Alek was no where mentioned in the last chapter of "The New Girls", everyone was confused about Alek's appearance, and Nico felt a little of the blank was filled in was because before Alek died, she erased any memory everyone had of her. You'll find out why later on!
Love you all,
