A/N: Hey everyone! So, this is my first story and I tried to do my best. This is an OC story, which will center around my OC, Ally. I won't tell you right now who her godly parent is, you will know it later. There will be a pairing, but the real romance will start a bit later. I want my story to be mostly about Ally, and not just a background for a pairing, that's why it will only appear later, once I will have developed my character. She will meet Hermes (it's an Hermes x OC story)in next chapter though.

This chapter sets the story, it happens after the war against Gaea, but I don't think there will be too much spoilers. But, just to be sure, make sure to have read all the books before reading this. Sorry if the characters are OOC, especially Chiron...

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HoO, they all belong to the awesome Rick Riordan. I own my OC and the plot.


Chapter One: Goat legs?

I woke up in a place I didn't know. That's quite unusual, you would tell me, but it was what was happening. I didn't have a single clue of where I was. Nothing. At all.

I closed my eyes again, hoping it was just a dream. It happened to everybody to be in a place you didn't know, in your dreams, right? It was probably my case as well. Indeed, I was sure I hadn't felt asleep here. I had felt asleep... it was in... I... Wait, where did I fall asleep? I couldn't manage to remember. I closed my eyes and tried to remember something else, anything else.

What did I do yesterday? ...No.

Where did I live?...No.

Something easy, what is the name of my parents? ...No.

Nothing, I couldn't remember anything. My heart started pounding faster against my chest. What was happening to me?

OK, maybe it was only a bad nightmare, a very bad nightmare, in which I didn't know anything. Yeah, it was surely that. I pinched my arm in hope to wake up, but still nothing. I did it again, and again, but it never worked. No, it was impossible.

I looked around me, looking for something that could show I was dreaming. Something really really weird that couldn't exist in real life, like...

Goat legs! This man had goat legs. It wasn't possible, right? Goat legs attached to a human body. I started laughing like a maniac. I was in a dream. In a stupid dream and now I just had to wake up by any way...

Next to me was a glass with a straw, a few bottles, scissors... Scissors! I could cut myself with them (*). You can't hurt yourself in a dream, so when I would cut myself with them, I would wake up... Just as when I pinched my arm... Yeah, that was a good idea. I mean , what could go wrong? I would just wake up and...

What if it wasn't a dream? No, no, remember the goat legs. I took the scissors and... Suddenly an arm grabbed my hand to stop me.

"What in Hades do you think you're doing?" I heard a boy shout.

I looked up and saw a boy holding my arm and looking at me with an alarmed face. He had blond hair and blue eyes that were now full of panic. His strong grip didn't loosen on my arm. I carefully let the scissors fall on the bed and the boy released my arm.

He then sat down next to me and asked with a soft voice "What-... what were you doing?"

I didn't answer so he added

"I'm sorry if I scared you but you understand, I saw you with those scissors and I... don't do that again, please."

I nodded slowly, still intrigued by what was happening.

"So..." I started "This isn't a dream...?"

The boy looked at me strangely "A what?" he asked. Then, realization hit him "Wait. You thought you were in a dream?" He started laughing "And I thought I had a suicidal patient. (*) Gods!" He laughed and then smiled at me.

"No, you're not in a dream. I understand you might feel lost and scared but don't worry, everything will be okay. So, hum, I... humm... Okay, let's start by the beginning. My name's Will Solace and I'm the one in charge with the infirmary. You know, since I'm a son of Apollo and all and I-"

"Wait. A son of who?"

"Oh yeah you don't know yet... Can you do like I said nothing for now? I don't want you to be even more confused."

He stopped talking for a moment, thinking and then looked at me again. He stared during a moment and, realizing I started to feel awkward, said

"Sorry, I was just thinking. Can you walk?"

I stood up slowly, feeling a bit dizzy, but I could manage taking a few steps. I looked back at Will, who smiled and asked me how I was feeling.

"I'm feeling a bit dizzy. And... hungry?" I answered shyly. Will smiled and handed me the glass that I had seen earlier on the bed-table before.

I sat down and started drinking it. It tasted delicious, like hot chocolate. The taste reminded me of something, but I couldn't tell what. I closed my eyes while drinking the strange but delicious beverage, warming me. When I finished drinking, I looked up at Will, who was watching me with a smile. He took the empty glass, put it back on the table and offered me a hand, that I took.

With his help, I stood up, much more easily now that I had drank the hot chocolate flavored "drink". I followed Will who walked to the goat-legged man. Said man looked at me kindly and said "Hi." I didn't answer at first, too busy staring at the hairy legs, but seeing they were looking at me as if they were waiting for something, I said, "Hello" The tension between us was palpable.

"...I'm Grover. I'm the one that found you and brought you here... You were laying unconscious in the woods. Do you feel better?" he said.

The only thing I found to answer was "You have goat legs."

Will, who had been looking somewhere else, and Grover stared at me dumbfounded.

"I think I had noticed that..." he answered. "She doesn't know yet, right?" He whispered to Will. Will shook his head and said, now loudly.

"Let's go and see Chiron. Follow me, humm... Oh Gods, I haven't even asked you your name."

It took me a moment to remember it. At first, I didn't know and my heart started beating fast again. Fortunately, I remembered. Aleetheia. Ally.

"Ally." I said. Will smiled and said "Well, lets go, Ally."

I followed Will and Grover to see this man called Chiron. I had no idea who he was but decided to trust Will and Grover anyway. I didn't know why, but I kind of felt like I belonged here, like I had arrived here for a reason, and not by mistake. Which was very reassuring, seeing that it was one of the rare things I knew.

As we were walking, Will explained me where I was.

"So, this is Camp Half-Blood... Don't interrupt me, it will be clearer later. So, this is Camp Half-Blood. Here, people like you and me, same than before, you'll understand after meeting Chiron, people like you and me train, learn and are safe. Some spend only summer and others must or decide to stay year-round."

I looked around and saw teenagers or what I guessed were teenagers. After the goat legs, anything could happen, so I was never too sure. Some were wearing Greek armors and helmets, other just wearing an orange t-shirt. On the right, I saw a climbing wall with, was it lava? I saw horses with WINGS, other goat-legged men.

As we were walking, I nearly got killed by a boy practicing archery, and we started walking again after Will got mad, screaming that he must be more careful and he could be dangerous and kill people. The boy apologized and I continued my way.

We arrived at a beach, where there was nobody but a man riding a horse... Wait, the man was the horse. No, the horse was the man...

I stopped walking suddenly and both Grover and Will looked at me.

"Don't tell me you're scared." Grover teased.

"No, not at all. I was merely surprised. Is he, like, a centaur?" I asked.

Again, they both stared at me.

"So... You know what centaurs are?" asked Grover.

"Yeah, half man half horse. And this is Chiron? A centaur."

"I didn't think you would know. Because you didn't know what I am so I thou-"

" I know what you are. You're a satyr. Earlier, I was just surprised. And Will is a demigod I guess? Half human half god, son of... what did you say earlier?"

"A-Apollo" Will answered, surprised that I had heard and remembered what he had said earlier.

"That's why you work at the infirmary; because your father is the god of medicine, right?" I continued.

They were both dumbfounded. I didn't know how I knew all that, it had come to me like a truth that I knew since a long time. The words had come out of my mouth without me even thinking, like if somebody had talked for me.

They were about to ask me about my knowledge – a question I knew I couldn't answer – when Chiron, who had seen us and came to meet us, introduced himself.

"Hello my child. I'm Chiron. And you are the camper Grover found unconscious in the woods yesterday, am I correct?" he started. He nodded towards Grover and Will, waiting for me to answer.

"Yes" I said simply. "It's what I have been told, I don't personally remember." I was careful, not wanting to give too much information.

"I was going to ask you about yourself and how you got here, but it seems now like it would be pointless. Maybe can I ask you how you are feeling?" he said gently, smiling in hope to make me feel more comfortable.

"Much better, thanks to Will and the drink he gave me." I said, not understanding where this conversation was going.

"The... oh, you mean the ambrosia." he said, lost in his thoughts.

"Grover," he started "Can you please go check if there aren't any other demigods around the borders after making sure there is a bed ready for our new camper in bungalow 11. She will stay there until she is claimed, which shouldn't last since she is older that thirteen."

Grover nodded, not sure if he should leave now.

"And, Will, please get back to the infirmary, there are still some campers that need healing." Chiron added.

My two new friends, well I hoped they were friends, looked at me, as if they didn't know if they could leave me now, or if they were waiting for something.

Seeing that, Chiron added "Thank you both for your help with this young girl. I now wish to speak to her."

They both nodded and turned their backs after addressing to me a reassuring smile that said "Don't worry, you're in good hands.".

After they left, Chiron looked at me and started.

"I'm sorry, I'm being quite impolite. I know things might seem strange and you must feel lost, but don't worry. If you're here, it's that you belong here." He stopped talking for a second, and after reflexion, said

"I haven't asked you your name."

"Aleetheia, Ally for short." I answered.

Chiron looked at me pensively and said, lost in his thoughts again.

"Aleetheia... I had heard of an Aleetheia, but it was long time ago and she was the..." he didn't finish his sentence, seeing that I was listening carefully to his thoughts. So, I wasn't meant to hear him. I had would find out what he was talking about, but later. Hearing him, I had already come to the conclusion that Aleetheia wasn't a very common name; and if he didn't want me to hear, it was probably because it was important. If it wasn't, why would he hide it to me?

Maybe it could help me find out more about me. Who was that girl he was talking about?

"Anyway" Chiron started again "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, Ally." I noted that he didn't use my full name, only my nickname, what surprised me. So, he didn't want to use that name. Was it a cursed or a forbidden name?

"Here is where the half-bloods come to train. You will learn all the things you need to know to survive against monsters. I guess you have been able to visit on your way here with Will and Grover. First of all, what do you know?" he asked.

I took a second to think about what I knew, then carefully started talking.

"I know that you are a centaur and that Grover is a satyr." Chiron nodded, saying "Go on". A little more confident, I continued. "Will is a demigod, son of Apollo and people here are demigods as well and they train all year-round or only during summer. That's all." Chiron nodded, then started explaining.

"You probably know about Greek gods and myths. Well, they aren't totally myths. They really exist." He said carefully, looking for my reaction at what he had just said.

First, I thought he was joking, but then remembered the satyr and the centaur, which was him. I didn't know what to say; what would you do if somebody suddenly said that Greek myths existed and was himself part of those myths? Well, I decided to react in a very strange way: I started laughing.

Chiron shot me a strange look. He had seen many reactions from young half-bloods who he had told about gods, but she was the first one to start laughing maniacally, he thought.

"Ally, are you feeling alright?" he asked, a bit worried by my behavior.

I then looked at him in the eyes and said very seriously, "Do you think I'm stupid? I may have amnesia, but I'm know how the world is, and I know very well that gods don't exist!"

Chiron was surprised. I was as well surprised by myself.

"Ally, listen, I know you are not "stupid" and that it might be hard to believe, but I can swear to you that this is the truth. Haven't you seen Grover and even my appearance. You have said it very well yourself, centaurs, satyrs and half-bloods exist. Will is a son of Apollo, who is a Greek god. What don't you believe?"

I hesitated. He was right. All of what he had said was the truth. Strangely, I was starting to trust him and believed him.

"N-no, I believe you, I-I am just... I-" I didn't know what to say anymore. Tears were coming to my eyes. What was happening to me?

Chiron smiled sympathetically at me and told me that he understood. I think he was relieved that I had understood so easily. For a moment, he had seemed to panic. But I guessed he was used to say that to new "campers", seeing the number of them there was in here.

"Now, let's make you visit Camp Half-Blood." he said.

We walked towards the bungalows. They were in the form of an omega, twelve in the center and the others bungalow continued in line on each side. Each bungalow was different. One was like made of gold, shining so hard it almost hurt my eyes. Another one was painted red and had a boar head hanged on top of the door. Another one that was on the line on the side was obsidian black, with torches lit up with green flames. I didn't know why, but I was kind of attracted to that bungalow. Another thing I had to figure out apparently.

I saw Chiron looking at me, then he explained.

"These are the bungalow. There is a bungalow for each god that has kids at Camp. New ones are added very often. Before, there were only twelve bungalows, one for each Olympian, but now every god can have a bungalow. You will now in which you belong when you'll be claimed by your godly parents, what should happen very soon, probably tonight. Waiting for that, you will go in bungalow 11. It's Hermes's bungalow, he welcomes everyone."

We walked to the bungalow, which was very basic and seemed very old and used. Inside there were many campers, but not as much as before, had told me a camper. I didn't have any belongings, so they told me where I could put them when I would.

I laid down on the bed that had been assigned to me and closed my eyes, resting after this exhausting morning. For the first time in what seemed like a long time, I felt safe.


(*) I know suicide or scarification aren't funny things or something we can joke about, I'm sorry if I offended anyone. If I did, make sure to tell me and I will modify it.


A/N: Hey guys! So, this is the first chapter. I know it's a crappy ending but if I hadn't stopped it now, it would have been too long compared to the length I want for all my chapters. It was already almost three thousand words, and if I had continued, it would have been too long. But don't worry, I will update very soon, actually, I have already started chapter 2. It will happen on the same day. At first, I wanted to do all the day in one chapter, but it would have been too long and I had to cut it at some point, so I decided here.

As said before, this is my first fanfiction, so I know it might not be perfect; that's why I need you to let me a review telling me what you think about my story. You can also tell me if there are big mistakes or things that are incoherent or not understandable, as I know what I want to tell but it's not always very clear for the people that read me. I like constructive reviews, things that could help me do even better chapters, but I don't want any harsh, unnecessary reviews. I work as hard as possible on this, and the reviews are the only way for me to know you like what I do. Don't forget to favorite this story to show me your support, and to follow it to know when I updated (very soon, when I'll have 4-5 reviews).

Until very soon,

Constance
