Chapter 1
Meet the Campers
7:10 AM
The light morning mist settled over Long Island Sound, the first light of morning illuminating Camp Half Blood, there would never be a more beautiful sight, not to me, Cailie Jones, anyway. I was an early riser, and became a year rounder at Camp Half Blood after my mom died. Not that I didn't have anyone to live with, there was my Aunt Jane, but it would never be the same as living with Mom. I shook my black hair out of my ocean blue eyes and headed back to the cabins from the shoreline of Long Island Sound.
Silently slipping back inside, no one else was awake.
The Poseidon Cabin had grown since Percy's 16th birthday, there were quite a few more demigods, most of them girls.
I looked around at my brothers and sisters, Tayrn or Aqua Waters was my best friend in here, and only the Poseidon house called her Aqua. She was dead asleep, and a restless sleeper. In the night, Aqua had kicked the blanket off her bare feet exposing her teardrop sapphire anklet, given to her by Dad. Her black hair with electric blue highlights was a snarled mess, and the right tank-top strap was slipping off her lightly tanned shoulder.
Kai Hibiscus didn't look anything like Dad, she had light brown hair that fell about 4 inches past her shoulders and hawaiian brown eyes.
Nerissa Merindez slept in the bunk above Kai's. Her short black hair fell over her tanned face. Nerissa was extremely quiet, mostly because she had lived in Mexico most of her life and can barely say a word that's not in Spanish or Ancient Greek.
Stella Harrison slept in the bunk above mine, she was usually an early riser like me, and would go out in the morning with me, but last night she stayed up pretty late sitting outside with her unofficial boyfriend, Nico di Angleo. Stella was in what the Poseidon cabin called an Ares sleep, looking like there was no way she'd wake up anytime soon.
Above Aqua slept Lynna Williams, the fourth girl in our "clique", or so our brothers called it. (Kai usually prefered hanging out with Annabeth, Clarisse, Katie and the Stoll twins, since she was dating Connor, and Nerissa usually kept her nose in a Spanish book, or talking in Ancient Greek with some other bookworms.)
Lynna was, well, eccentric, I guess, but in a good way! Her dyed hair was 'Red Velvet Cupcake' red, and slightly wavy. She had kicked her blanket on to the floor and her right ankle was dangling of the edge of her bed, showing her starfish tattoo.
We had four brothers now, Tyson was one, though he only stayed in the summer and spent the rest of the year in Atlantis.
Ryan James had dark brown hair, brown eyes and was pretty well built up.
Devon Knapper had shaggy, sandy colored hair. He was fairly tan since he'd grown up surfing, and was well built up too.
The last brother was none other than Percy, who at this point had returned from the Roman Half Blood Camp, was mummuring Annabeth's name in his sleep.
I laughed and rolled over in my bed, slipping back in to sleep.
8:30 AM
Each and every morning I, Blaire Johnson, daughter of Hermes, was woken up by a bugle. Okay, so it wasn't just me, it was the whole camp, but still... Nonetheless, I was still woken up that way. This morning, however, the first morning of the summer season, it felt harder to get up. Whether it was that normal people slept in during the summer, or that my twin brother Bret and I stayed up pretty late last night planning a new prank on the Aphrodite cabin, I truly didn't want to get up at all. At the sound of the bugle, I groaned and pulled my pillow over my head. My best friend (and half sister) Skye Sparks, poked her head down to my bunk, her green eyes sparkling mischievously.
"Tsk, tsk Blaire," Skye giggled, jumping back down to the floor and pulling me out of bed by my feet.
"Aah!" I screamed, "Let go of me!"
Skye smirked and dropped my legs like they were burning her. I rolled my eyes and sat up slowly, tucking a strand of my long, white-blonde hair behind my ears. I looked around, nearly everyone else was awake. Danni Anderson, the ballerina with a bad knee from landing on a dance move wrong when she was 11, had already whipped out her cell phone, most likely texting a daughter of Aphrodite about her next dance performance.
Connor Stoll was pulling a red T-Shirt over his messy brown hair and Travis could be heard in the bathroom no doubt cleaning up for Katie.
Kevin Montgomery was brushing his golden colored hair, checking his reflection in the mirror.
Bret was already on his way out the door.
"Wait one sec Skye," I said quickly, changing into a pair of skinny jeans, converse, and a bright blue, well-fitting Cowboys jersey. I tied my pin-straight hair into a messy bun and rushed out the door with Skye.
With so many demigods at camp, you didn't want to be the last one to meals. If you are, there's a chance you won't get breakfast at all, especially with all the Apollo kids, they ate like pigs!
10:00 AM
After a breakfast of pancakes (yum!) I, Emily-Alexander Mackenzie, or Em by friends, had archery with the Aphrodite cabin. Okay, so I don't HATE archery, I mean, I'm fairly good at it, but it isn't my forte. I'm not a daughter of Apollo or something...
In case you were wondering, I'm a daughter of Demeter. Plant girl, Flower, Daisy, I've been called all of those, but I prefer Em or Emily, not that I'd speak up about it. I'm pretty shy and quiet, that's how I like to be too. I'm fairly pretty, most Demeter girls are. I have long brown hair (so long I can sit on it without leaning back) and eyes that change color in different light. They can go from being blue to green to grey, my eyes are my favorite feature.
Like I said, the Demeter girls are usually pretty, not supermodel gorgeous like the Aphrodite girls, but normal pretty.
My half sister Katie Gardner had long brown hair and stunning green eyes, her boyfriend, Travis, claims to have fallen in love with her eyes. They're such a cute couple! Ugh, that sounded like Aphrodite.
Olivia Varce, had layered brown hair, dark hazel eyes, and olive skin tone.
Rochella, or Shell, Monroe had curly, dirty blonde hair and emerald green eyes.
Kailey James had long red hair, and green eyes.
Lily had short black hair and green eyes.
Kara had light brown hair and peridot green eyes.
Most of us had inherited Mom's green eyes, some of us inherited her stunning smile, some of us her black hair, ect. ect...
Anywho, back to archery. Most of us Demeter's weren't so great with archery, and the only reassurance we had, was that we were paired with the Aphrodite's over the Apollo's. So we could be as bad as we wanted and not feel ashamed, same with the Aphrodite's, though some of them were suprisingly good at it.
Piper McLean was one, her choclate brown hair was braided with gold ribbons and fell across one shoulder, and her eyes changed color like a kaleidoscope. Piper was the counsler of her cabin, after her sister, Drew, stepped down. Though she usually fought with a dagger, she wasn't to shabby with a bow and arrow.
Lacy was Piper's best friend, and by looking at her, you'd never guess she was Aphrodite's daughter. She wore her blonde hair in pigtails, and had braces.
Drew, Piper's enemy, was a tall, beautiful Asian girl. Her dark hair fell in ringlets, her eyes were a warm dark brown, and she wore a lot of pink mascara. Drew and Piper are the only one's at Camp Half Blood who have the ability to charmspeak.
Sophia Burgs was a tall skinny girl with blonde hair and light blue eyes. Archery was Sophia's favorite activity, so she was respectably, the best archer in the cabin.
Mitchell was very afraid of Drew, like most people in the cabin, and preferred to stay far away from her since she forced him to do Garbage Patrol when he showed a liking to Piper.
Nathaniel Wood was another son. He had white-blonde hair, brown eyes, and was lean but muscular.
There were various other campers, like there were in the Apollo and Hades, as well as our cabin. They were fairly quiet and prefered to keep to themselves rather than engage in all the drama. Sort of like me.
10:00 AM
"Oh my gods, Chiron makes the best pancakes, ever!" I exclaimed, walking from breakfast to sword fighting lessons with the Hermes cabin. Who am I? My name is Kadie Serena Cortez, daughter of Zeus. Like the Poseidon Cabin, the Zeus Cabin had grown since The Battle of Manhattan, when Percy insisted that all children were claimed. The Hades Cabin had grown too, since the whole "Pact of the Big Three" thing was over. Thalia sometimes came up in the summer, but other than that, was almost never at camp anymore. After Thalia started traveling with the Hunter's after the battle, my twin sister and I arrived, and were put in the counselor position. I decided I'd be Counselor and Hadley would be Co-Counselor.
Hadley Selena Cortez is my identical twin sister, there are only two differences about us:
1. Hadley keeps her long black hair curly, while I flat iron mine.
2. My eyes are a stromy gray, and Hadley's are a bright, electric blue.
Like I said, Hadley and I are identical, tan with black hair, double pierced ears, and identical choker necklaces with matching anklets that had crystal lightning bolts on them (they were gifts from Dad). We're even the same height and weight. Our personalities are incredibly different however. Hadley is a musician, she plays the guitar and sings. If she didn't act so much like Dad, I'd swear she was Apollo's daughter. I'm a reader, a bookworm, but I'm still social, don't get me wrong. Hadley's usually sweet, but if she doesn't like you, she'll be sarcastic and cold, unlike me. I'm often referred to as stubborn, and can often be hard to please, but I think I'm pretty nice. I have my friends, and socialize with them.
Like I said earlier, our cabin has grown, but it isn't exactly huge.
Joey Li, or Jo, is one of our sisters. She has black hair with a bright red streak on the side, her eyes are hazel.
Erin Lee had black hair with blue and red highlights blue eyes. She also had the word ουρανός on a tattoo, which was Greek for 'Sky'. She also had piercings all over her ears.
Lissa Lexington was easily the simple beauty of the Zeus cabin. She had reddish brown hair and elegant green eyes that could captivate even a son of Ares.
Sword fighting was our cabin's favorite activity, considering we always won, even against the Ares cabin...
Let's go back to the present, shall we?
As Hadley and I approached the arena, we saw the Stoll brother's practicing on each other. Hadley and I giggled under our breath (Connor almost cut off Travis' leg) and approached them, scaring a cursing Travis half to death.
"Hey," We said together.
"God dammit you guys," Swore Travis, almost dropping his sword on his foot.
Hadley laughed, "Good, then our plan worked!"
Connor and I snickered at Travis' scowl.
"Take a seat, take a seat," Instructed one of our counselor Jason. Jason was an older son of Dionysus, and took over his father's position (and more) after his sentence was over. Jason was fairly tall, and had bright red hair, but inherited Dionysus' piercing blue eyes. "Welcome to the summer season at Camp Half Blood!"
Bret rolled his eyes and whispered to his sister, "I'd rather be welcomed to my bed."
Blair snickered, but quickly clapped her hand over her mouth.
Jason was oblivious to the trouble-making twins, the second pair, and continued his speech. "This is the battle arena, where you'll learn to fight with a sword. Any questions?"
Hadley raised her hand and Jason pointed to her. "Can I use my sword?"
The group laughed quietly. Hadley always asked this trying to annoy teachers, specifically because we had identical silver swords that could channel lightning.
"No, Hadley. Your sword is restricted to quests and games, not lessons."
"But why?"
Jason sighed, exasperatedly, "Because, Hadley, your sword can kill people if used correctly."
Hadley smirked and glanced at Travis, who caught her glance looking terrified, "Exactly." Her voice was poisonously sweet.
"Hadley..." Jason warned.
Hadley scowled and crossed her arms, "Fine..."
"Okay, Erin, Travis, why don't you go first?" Suggested Jason.
Travis took one look at Erin's deathly smirk and shook his head. "Oh gods..."
Erin cracked her knuckles and stood up, grabbing a sword off a rack. "Let's do this Stoll."
Travis was fairly good competition, easily deflecting many cuts, but unfortunatley was gullible. Erin faked a diagonal cut, aiming at his leg, and when Travis moved his sword down, Erin knocked it out of his hands by it's handle. Smirking, Erin quickly picked up her opponents sword and placed the tip at his chest. Travis sighed and slowly raised his hands in defeat.
"Very nice Miss Lee, very good indeed. Each of you pick a sibling to fight."
"Connor," Travis decided without hesitation.
Erin handed Travis' sword to Connor, and her sword to none other than- "Hadley."
Connor ran a hand through his curly brown hair, "Lucky me."
Connor wasn't nearly as gullible as his twin, but Hadley knew exactly how to get under everyone's skin. She put up an admirable fight, but everyone knew it wasn't her best. Connor, who had fought her enough times to identify her fighting style, was slightly confused, but went with it. About ten minutes into the fight, Hadley stopped and gave Connor her best flirty smile, it worked. Connor, stunned, dropped his sword and gave Hadley a crooked smile. Hadley smirked, quickly grabbing his sword and moved to be standing behind him, placing a sword against both sides of his neck.
"If you move the tiniest bit and you'll be headless." Hadley hissed, a victorious smirk on her face.
Connor stood petrified and pale, but Hadley made no signs of moving.
"That's enough Hadley," Declared Jason.
Relucantly, Hadley handed Connor back his sword, and lowered her own, but not without lightly scratching Connor's shoulder blade.
I laughed and nudged Lissa, Connor still stood dumbstruck, his jaw was dropped.
Hadley looked around him, "You can close your mouth now Connor."
He looked at her incredulously, not closing his mouth.
Hadley giggled and placed two fingers under his chin, lightly pushing him jaw up. "You're welcome," She said sweetly, joining us again.
I shook my head at my sister's performance. The way she treats Connor sometimes, you wouldn't guess she had the world's biggest crush on him.
10:00 AM
My name is Morgan Ustuskushii, and I'm a daughter of Athena, along with being a quadruplet. My siblings are Buddy, Athena and Sophia. You see, our dad was a professor in Athens when he met mom, and wanted to name at least one of us after a Greek god or goddess and he chose mom. Sometimes we call her AJ for Athena Junior. She doesn't like it. Anyway, we all have golden blonde hair, grey eyes and oriental skin coloring and stand at about 6'3.
Well we like Alison Lawrence, but everyone calls her Jane. She had naturally straight brown hair and dark brown (near black) eyes.
Then there's Brianna Scott, who usually kept her strawberry blonde hair in plaits, her eyes were gray, and she was a hunter of Artemis.
And of course, the famous Annabeth Chase, another of our close friends.
Malcom, who's the second in command of the cabin, and has the usual Athena looks.
There's others, of course, but so many, they aren't worth mentioning, no offence.
There were way more Apollo's this year than ever. Kim Emma, Kira Daae, Alex Griffin, Serena Daze, Ari O'Connelll, Peter Grayson, Ashley Belle, Will Solace, and so many more. I'm not going to even try naming them all, it would take all day.
Our Survival Skills teacher, Isabelle, was pretty nice, except when she was extremely harsh. Which, unfortunately, she was today. Out of nowhere, she planned to drop us in the middle of the woods, and try to get out. Fun right? Yeah, sure, real fun, considering Annabeth brought a compass, and only told some of us.
So, thanks to Annabeth, we, Jane, Malcom, and Brianna, got out of the woods remarkably fast, and Isabelle didn't suspect a thing. Well, she is a daughter of Aphrodite...
10:00 AM
The two cabins of darkness were having Ancient Greek together, oh joy. I'm Nyx Morales, often called Night, and I'm a daughter of Hades. The whole Big Three Pact thing was over, and I think that our cabin has grown the most since. Okay, so Apollo is bigger, but our cabin started with one, so, I think we win. I guess I'm your typical Hades kid. I have jet black hair with blue highlights that stop in the middle of my shoulder blades. My eyes are a grayish-blue and when I'm angry they look like a storm. My tongue is pierced too.
Demelze Smythe is one of my friends who's lived here as long as she can remember. She almost always braids her long black hair,her eyes are dark and somewhat intense, and she has a long scar running down her arm when an Ares kid "accidently" maimed her.
Then theres Xandra (Her real name is Alexandra, and that's what teachers call her) who also wears her long, coal black hair in a braid that the Aprodite girls always try to get down, much to everyone's dismay. She has onyx eyes and pale skin.
Next is C.J. Andrews (C.J. Is actually her middle name, but eyeryone but teachers call her it) she has long curly black hair with streaks of sliver and big brown eyes that turn gray when she's angry. Scary, right?
Syd McGuiness, another year rounder, had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.
Arixo Ezen was another daughter, with jet black hair and midnight silver streaks. Her eyes are almost black with flecks of silver.
Then of course, the one and only, Nico di Angelo, with his messy black hair, intense black eyes, and olive colored skin. He's grown taller (and if he wasn't my brother, I'd say cuter too) and many girls here at camp harbor a crush on him.
Of course, there were more, but honestly, I didn't care enough to mention them.
The Nyx cabin was a minor goddess cabin that had grown the most in the last few years, going from a giant 0 to
Emma Angel had long black curly hair with a midnight sheen that glows faintly in the starlight, and sapphire blue eyes.
Emma also had a twin brother, Max Angel. He looked like a boy version of Emma, all the same features, as well as tattoos, which included a sun on their left shoulders, and stars on both hands. Their piercings were different; Emma had piercings in her ear lobe, a nose stud, star studs. Max had one in the top of his ear, and a ring with a 5-point star, like Emma's.
They also had an older sister, Carmen, whose mom was Eos, one of two siblings, but more about them later…
Then there was Raven Fox, who had raven black hair and aquamarine eyes.
Tamsin Black was yet another, who had spiky black hair and purple eyes, she was Raven's best friend.
Nyx had a lot of daughters, and it would take a long time to describe them all, so I'll name them:
Serilda and Semira (twins), Chandra, Laufeia, Aeron, Neoma, Enya, Lehava, Maori, and Athanasia. They all surprisingly had black hair, but their eye color varied.
Either or, we were all in Ancient Greek together, taught by Annabeth and Chiron. During class I was talking with Demelza when all of a sudden Chiron snapped my name sharply.
"Nyx," He said sternly, "Can you tell me what this says?" He wrote out a sentence in Greek that looked like this:
Αν ήμουν στη θέση σου, εγώ δεν θα μιλάμε εάν θέλησα να κάνω διπλές δουλειές για ένα μήνα
"If I were you, I wouldn't be talking unless I wanted to do double chores… for a… month." I finished, blushing slightly at the end. "Sorry sir."
Nico sniggered and nudged my shoulder, "Nice job sis."
"Shut it," I hissed, and when Chiron glanced in my direction, I smiled sweetly.
10:00 AM
My name is Kai Hibiscus, daughter of Poseidon, girlfriend of Connor Stoll, blah blah blah… Right now I was walking to Weapon Making with the Hephaestus cabin, with the Ares cabin. Oh joy…
There were still quite a few boys, all of them big, beefy, and very scary. There was Kendrick, Emmett, Abel, Samson, Jasper, Martin, Kevin, Tony, Anthony, Derrick, Brandon, Raymond, David, Trenton, and Troy. The girls were Clarisse, Sophia (Osbourne), Irene, Shiloh, Nina, and Sheyenne. The girs were equally as scary, because, to be honest, the all needed anger managment class.
As soon as we approached the forgery, Sophia and Clarisse began insisting that they had to make double-edged twin swords for the two of them, and somehow they should harness electricity, and they had to engrave a dog (Ares' sacred animal) and their names in the handle so they could claim them as they're own.
However, Jake Mason, the head of the cabin therefor teaching us, announced that today, we would only be learning about making weapons. Needless to say, Clarisse and Sophia were mad. You never want to see a child or Ares mad.
Oh boy, this was going to be a long class.
Okay, I'll stop there for now. Next chappie will be Meet the Campers II, so keep an eye peeled. There aren't many more campers to introduce, so it shouldn't take nearly as long! But for the creators out there I need to to answer these questions.
1. Your characters friends at camp
2. You character's enemies at camp.
3. The top three people your character would have a crush on, whether they are taken, or not.
Muchos gracias!
