"Get to the border line!" Her mother shouted.
"Mom? Why do you make it sound like you aren't coming with us?" Persephone, or rather Perse asked her mom.
"I can't cross the property line sweetie, you have to go without me." Her mom told her.
"No!" And then she just had images of gold dust, her mom disappearing, and her best friend carrying her over a hill. Then it all went black...
3 Days Later
When Perse woke up, she heard voices shouting. "She isn't her, Luke!" A girl's voice shouted.
"How do you know, Annabeth?!" A male voice, Luke? asked the girl, apparently Annabeth. Then, her world faded to black.
When she woke back up for real, she was alone in a medical looking building, save for a sleeping blond haired teen, maybe 17, in a chair next to her bed. "Hello?" She said, her voice barely louder than a whisper. No reaction. "Hello?" She asked again, with a little more force, successfully getting the boy woken up with a yelp.
He looked at her and said, "Thank goodness, you're finally awake. Can you walk?" She nodded her head 'Yes', and he continued. "Okay, let's get you to Mr. D and Chiron." He helped her out of bed, and she noticed she was still in her same clothes. She sighed in relief, even though that should've been the last thing on her mind.
The blond brought her to a big 3 leveled house with a baby-blue paint that seemed to be chipping away. On the patio were two men, and her best friend Grover. They seemed to be playing some sort of card game, but she didn't pay attention to that. She paid attention to her teacher, Mr. Brunner, who was no longer in a wheelchair, but rather... Part horse? And the other man, who seemed to be radiating power.
"Well, Miss Persephone, how are you?" Mr. Brunner, or Chiron, she guessed, asked her.
"F-fine, sir..." She stuttered, still aware of 'Mr. D''s eyes watching her. Chiron tapped Mr. D on the shouldering, signaling to stop. Immediately, she felt like the weight of the world was off her chest. "Where am I?" She asked, looking around in awe.
"You are at Camp Halfblood, dear, a place for children of the Greek Gods." Chiron told her gently. Perse was very good at Ancient Greek and Roman culture, and wasn't too surprised. She had seen weird things all her life. She felt the weight back on her, and turned around.
"Aren't you going to address your superior, girl?" Mr. D asked her, raising an eyebrow. She looked at him, analyzed everything, and realized who he was. Her eyes widened, then she gasped.
"I am sorry, Lord Dionysus. Forgive me." She said, hoping not to get blasted to smithereens. To her surprise, she lost the weight and he laughed.
"I like this girl. She's the first to figure it out in the past 100 years!" Dionysus said with a laugh. "I'll certainly remember your name, Persephone." (Everyone knows the rest)
"Luke," Chiron started, "why don't you take her on a tour of the cabins. I'm sure she's dying to know."
"Will do Chiron. Come on princess, we've got to show you around." Luke replied, then looked at her.
As they were looking around, she felt a strange pull. She realized it was towards the cabins, and started to follow it, with Luke walking behind her, asking where she was going. She stopped in front of the center cabin, labeled Cabin 1. She slowly reached out to touch, before Luke yanked her hand back.
"Don't touch the cabins, it isn't safe." He warned, but had no further explanation.
"Okay, this is our stop. Cabin 11, Hermes. I'm the cabin leader, and we take in all the unclaimed kids, which is you for now." Luke informed her.
"How long does it take to get claimed?" She asked him, in a whisper. This cabin had the most people in it by far, at least 60.
"Not too long if you're lucky, but sometimes..." He trailed off, but she knew what he was going to say. 'Never.'
