I – Percy's POV

I jerked awake.

Rubbing my eyes, I sat up. Looking around, I saw that I was in some kind of hospital room. Two girls were standing in front of the bed where I was sitting. They were whispering to each other so intently that they didn't even notice me get up.

"What are we going to do with him?"

"Let's give him to Lupa."

"Who is he?"

"I don't know. He looks about sixteen though, so he must have already been claimed."

"Are you sure we did the right thing? Lupa will kill us if he's an enemy. We've let him right into the camp!"

I'd been listening to the conversation quietly, but then I realized that they were talking about me.

I cleared my throat loudly. The two girls jumped and swivled round.

"So, you're finally awake," one of the girls said. She had soft brown eyes like melted chocolate and brown ringlets framed her face. She smiled at me gently.

The other girl didn't smile. She backed away from me, as if I was some kind of alien. "Who are you?" She asked.

"I um….." I faltered. I couldn't remember it. In fact, I didn't seem to have any memories at all. It was like someone had stolen them all.

I scanned myself, looking for something that would remind me of it. A string necklace dangled above my top. I caught sight of several beads hanging from it. One of them had a long list of names. I scanned it, looking for mine. Suddenly, I recognized a name right at the end. "My name is Percy Jackson," I told the girl.

Her dark eyes scanned my face, as if to see if I was lying. I felt uncomfortable under her harsh gaze.

Long, thick, black hair hung down the girl's back. Her skin was smooth and tanned, and her features were beautiful and sharp, like a statue's.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"We are in the infirmary of The Castra Romana. Hazel and I found you lying unconscious by the entrance to the Camp. We figured you must be a demigod, so we decided to bring you here." The girl glared at me for a moment before adding, "Castra Roman means Roman Camp by the way."

"Woah," I said. "Slow down."

The girl laughed unkindly. She spoke in an exaggeratedly slow voice. "We are in the Castra Romana, a camp for demigods."

It took me a while to process what she was saying. I was in a Roman Camp?

"So…we're in Rome?" I asked stupidly.

"No." The other girl spoke. "It's only called the Roman Camp because the campers are all children of the Roman Gods. We are actually in San Francisco. The camp needed to be here when we were fighting in the Titan War last summer."

It was strange. I wasn't surprised at all when the girl told me that this was a camp for children of Gods.

The words Titan War seemed to ring a bell in my mind, but I couldn't think why. My mind was like a black hole.

"Who are you?" I questioned.

"I am Hazel Turner, daughter of Apollo." The brown haired girl smiled at me.

Then, the other girl spoke. "I am Dakota Abbott. Daughter of Trivia."

I must have looked as confused as I felt because she added, "The Goddess of magic."

"You mean Heca…" I began, but Dakota was looking at me strangely, so I shut up.

"Who's your Godly parent?" Dakota asked.

I thought hard, but I just couldn't remember. "I don't know."

Dakota and Hazel exchanged a surprised glance, but then their faces became masks again.

"Well, since you're awake now, we'll show you round," Hazel told me.

The two girls led me out of the door.

A semi-circle of large cabins stood next to the infirmary. They were each different. One was painted bright pink, and another had plants all over it. Hazel and Dakota told me all about the cabins. When we passed a sea green one, I felt a sudden urge to step inside, but Dakota made us move quickly past.

I felt confused when the girls' said the Gods' names, as if I called them something else. But, then again, I felt confused about everything.

"And, that's a wrap!" Hazel announced.

"What are we going to do now?" I asked cautiously.

Dakota looked at me coldly. "We must take you to the Colosseum. You must fight Praetors of the First Legion to prove your worth. If you win, you'll be accepted into the camp. If you lose, you'll be Lupa's dinner tonight."
