Nico's POV
Because of Percy's wish satyrs have been in and out of camp so Grover comes in with campers and leaves to get more. Anyway, I was paying tag with some of the younger campers when I saw a girl skip over the magical borders of camp and Grover was clutching the ground, gasping for air. Peleus sniffed him then went back to gaurding the Thalia's tree.
"I'm going to murder that kid," Grover muttered, getting to his feet.
The girl stopped skipping and dragged Grover until she got tired.
"Somebody save me!" Grover shouted.
He looked up at the girl and shouted,"Emily!"
She helped him up and when he could stand she let go of him. He guided Emily to the Big House and I went back to my game of tag until the lunch bell rang.
When I got to the dining pavilion, swarms of new campers were, there waiting to be claimed. I got in line and waited. The four campers that got here way before Emily had been claimed: one child of Dionysus, a child of Iris and two children of Athena.
I led my brother to our table. I began eating my delicous lunch as neatly as I could but playing with five year olds all day really tires you out and makes youhungry. I got some dirty looks from the Apollo cabin especially from John Lammington, my enemy who when he stopped glaring at me he looked at Emily who was pushing half of a peanut butter sandwich into the fire. Finally she was claimed: a glowing, green trident hovered above her head. She hadn't noticed it at all so instead of going towards Percy's table (aka the Posiedon table) she walked over to the Hermes table and began eating. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her. Grover slapped his forehead in exasperation and grabbed her arm leading her over towards Percy's table. She sat down and began eating again, not caring about the looks of confusion everyone was giving her.
"Hello everybody. We have five new campers as you can see so will those five new campers please stand up and introduce yourselves," Chron announced.
Four out of the five new campers stood up and introduced themselves except Emily. She kept eating, ignoring what Chiron had said.
Grover started to chew on a piece of silverware. Why he looked so nervous I will never know. Chiron frowned.
"Emily, can you please stand up for us?" Chiron asked.
No answer.
Grover started waving his hands so hard and furiously I thought they were going to fall off. No one except me noticed because everyone's eyes were on Emily the wacked out kid who doesn't listen to anyone.
"Emily!" Grover whispered, furiously, frantically waving his arms, trying to get her attention.
"Emily, please stand up!" Chiron begged.
No answer.
She raised her head so Chiron said again to stand up but she wasn't paying attention. Her focus was on Grover who still was waving his arms. Everyone began watch Grover doing this weird hand gesture.
"Grover what are you doing?" Mr. D asked.
He had become nicer since Zeus had allowed half of his life at camp get off. Plus the fact that his children are at camp so yeah, he is like 70% happier.
Emily suddenly stood up still looking at Grover who was doing another weird hand gesture. Emily nodded and sat back down only to return to her eating. Grover sighed and smiled until he noticed everyone looking at him.
"Uh, did I mention she's deaf?" he asked.
Everyone stared at him and John thought this was a time to insert his smartness.
"Isn't a deaf person someone who can't hear?" John mentioned.
"Yeah." Grover nodded and now I really wanted to kill John right now. He always has to impress people with his smartness.
Emily had finished eating and got up, leaving the dining pavilion with Grover following her, making weird hand gestures. I glared at John who was smirking at me.
