Allison's POV
Camp Half-Blood wasn't anything like I anticipated. I was expecting some remote, island or indoor facility with guards patrolling the perimeter 24/7. To my surprise, it seemed liked a regular camp when I first pulled up at the Hill. A lake. Volley ball courts. Mess Hall. Cabins. Seems normal, right? Wrong. This place was anything but that. This average looking summer camp, was actually a place of training, for Half-Bloods like me to learn skills to keep us alive.
I stepped out of the mustard-yellow taxi cab as quickly as I could. Three, out of date, sisters drove that cab insanely fast. Call me crazy, but I think they were sharing a single eyeball between the three of them. I snatched my navy-blue duffel bag out of the back seat. I quickly turned around to see a tan, lanky kid around my age with crystal blue eyes, and a killer smile. His blonde hair was spiked up in the front with hair gel.
"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. I'm David." The kid held out his hand for me to shake. I ignored it and walked towards the hill, not really caring if he followed or not. The last thing I needed was another arrogant guy in my life. I was never really that popular at school. Probably because my ADHD or something… Sure, I was probably pretty enough to be a model, or a popular girl or whatever. But did I want to? No.
"Where can I put my stuff?" I turned to David, and realized he was at least a good 4 inches taller than me. Of course, that wasn't really a big achievement. I was only 5'2".
"There's cabins up there, depending on who your godly parent is. If you haven't guessed yet, by my amazing good looks, I'm a son of Apollo." He ran his fingers through his hair while saying this.
"Where's Zeus's cabin? " I was trying to avoid as much talking as possible with this kid. He was kind of annoying, and not to mention full of himself.
"Over there, to the right. The one with the giant lightening bolt painted on the door." He gestured in the direction of it. I picked up the paced, and practically ran there. I closed the door as soon as I came inside. The cabin was, well, not your average cabin. The ceiling was domed shaped, and had a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds painted on it. One of the walls had pictures of all the past off-spring of Zeus. There weren't many, only about twenty or so. I noticed a couple were so old, there weren't even pictures, but chiseled drawings. Two beds were in the cabin- both were queen sized. One bed had ACDC covers on the bed, and had writing on the headboard, reading "Thaila's bunk. DO NOT TOUCH, or I'll murder you in your sleep." She seems pleasant…
"Um, who are you, and why are you in my cabin." I turned around to see a girl with black, spiky hair, wearing a orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt with black skinny jeans. She had her sword at her side.
"I'm Allison. I just got here, and I'm a daughter of Zeus. And I'm guessing your Thaila." I threw my duffel bag on the second bed in the room, which was across from hers.
"Good guess. Where you from?" She seemed to calm down a bit, and she threw her sword on the floor, and sat down on her bed. She unlaced her black converse and tossed them on a near by pile of shoes, clothes, and magazines.
"Connecticut. I live in a small farming town." It was true. Most of the families there, even though it was a farm town, owned huge houses, and had a fortune in their bank accounts. I happened to be in one of those families.
"Fun. Anyway, dinners soon. Some of my friends are coming here to meet up with me. Were all still kind of recovering emotionally from the war, and all the loses we suffered. So don't bring up funerals or anything. " Thaila said this like it was the most casual thing in the world. And right on cue, three people and one satyr walked in. The looked a little shocked to see me standing there, unpacking all of my things. Two of the kids were holding hands. The other looked a bit younger then the rest, and looked Hispanic. The satyr was…well he was a goat from the waist down.
"Hey guys. This is Allison. Apparently she's my new sister. Allison, this is Percy, Annabeth, Nico and Grover." They all waved at me, and I heard "hey" and "what's up".
"Your welcome to walk with us to dinner." Annabeth spoke up, with a sweet voice. She had this gorgeous, dirt blonde hair that was tied up in a pony tail. Percy was staring at her with admiring eyes. It didn't take a genius to figure out they were in love.
"Why not." I followed them out of the cabin, abandoning my attempt to pack away all of my things. They all looked around my age, except Nico, which was 16. Walking with them was great. They were all so nice, and were curious about my life, and what I did for fun. I told them I'd catch up with them inside after I tied my shoe. Of course, only I could clunk heads, with someone while tying my shoes. The boy I clucked heads with dropped all his rolls of toilet paper and whipped cream on the ground.
"I'm so sorry! I'm a big klutz and-" I looked up to see his face. His smile was lopsided, and his face was care-free. He had sandy blonde hair and a lopsided smile.
"It's fine. It's not like you meant it." I helped him gather his stuff together.
"Oh, my name's Allison, daughter of Zeus." I handed him his stuff.
"Mines Travis. Son of Hermes." He held out his hand for me to shake. I shook it. You could tell just by looking at this guy that he was a troublemaker.
"Well, I got to go- see you later." he started at his feet when talking to me. He seemed shy, and anti-social. Oh well. Maybe he just thinks I'm weird or something.
Travis's POV
"She was gorgeous man, I mean beautiful. I thought she was a daughter of Aphrodite when I first saw her. And she had this blue eyes- they looked like the sky, which is kind of ironic since her dad is Zeus and all. And her hair was super blonde, and she had-"
"Alright man, I get it, she's pretty. You've been rambling on about her all dinner." Connor cut me off, a little annoyed that I'd been only talking about her the past twenty minutes.
"Its just…it felt like love at first sight." Connor looked at me strangely when I said 'love'. He just went back to his food, completely ignoring my voice by now. I started over at her sitting with Thaila. She was laughing about something with Thaila. Despite the difference of hair color, and height, they looked like sisters. The same ears. The same eyes. The mouth. Allison was just more- she was just perfect. I don't know how else to explain it.
"Dude, close your mouth, your staring to drool." Connor snapped my back into reality really quick.
"Anyway, we got to start planning that prank tonight…" We drifted into plans, and I reluctantly took my mind off Allison.
