Audree

Chapter Uno: New Camper in… Camp

"Percy!" A female voice cried from behind me. I turn around and see Annabeth.

"Yes?" I ask.

"A new kid just arrived. Beat up from their way in." she panted.

My eyes widened in surprise, "How bad?"

"Really bad,"

"Let's go."

We both ran, Annabeth leading the way, although I know where the infirmary is. As we neared, I started to run faster. We got to the infirmary and went in. Laying there was a girl that looked around twelve to thirteen. Long brown- black hair pulled back into a ponytail; some strands escaped from the ponytail and stuck to her heart- shaped face like glue. The girl has cuts, bruises and gashes all over her face, arms and legs.

"Whoa…" I murmured. It did look bad like Annabeth said. Like, really bad, I'm not joking.

"Okay, everyone out. Go." said Nichole, the "nurse" of the infirmary. We all walked out, trust me, no one wants to face Nichole when she gets angry.

Murmurs, whispers and shouts erupted when everyone got out.

"What happened?"

"Who did that?"

"Why did they, or it, did that?"

"She's like ten- years- old!"

"It looks so bad."

"I feel sorry for that poor girl!"

"Is she going to die?"

All these questions and stuff came all at once. Everyone was talking about it. Call is gossip if you must.

This was the talk of the camp for three days. The girl, no one knows if she's alive or dead. I don't either. No one has been allowed in the infirmary; not even me!

"All campers head to the dining hall for a meeting. That is all." The intercom blared. Camp Half Blood has gotten "high- tech" now. Everyone gave each other confused looks, but started to walk.

I got there and sat down next to Annabeth, "What's going on?" I whispered to her. She just shrugged.

Nichole comes out and stands on a chair so she could see every camper. "As you all know, there has been a girl around twelve to thirteen- years- old in the infirmary for the past few days. She has awoken and is feeling better from her previous… state," the entire camp started to talk again. Of course, about the mysterious girl. "Okay, hush! I'm going to bring her out. She is going to say her name, then you can ask her questions, okay?"

The camp nods, says "yes", or doesn't do anything at all.

Nichole nods and goes in the kitchen. Out comes the girl and Nichole.

"Um, hi. My name is Audree."
