I backed up tripping over the root,as I fell my ankle twisted. Now the big dog rat thing,I'm not sure what it's called, is towering over me snarling it's razor sharp teeth at me.I screamed starting to back up,I felt a stick touching my hand so I grabbed it and threw it at the dog thing.Yeah let's just say that it didn't help my case, but then a black hair guy with sea green eyes jumped out",Get behind me," he said. I didn't know who this guy was but if he's willing to save me go ahead, I jumped behind him,he pulled out a pen",That is a pen, that is a pen," I said freaking out, it turned from a pen into a sword",Okay not a pen," I heard him chuckle. The dog thing went at him but he took the sword and sliced its head off, it fell down and disappeared.
",Are you okay," he asked as i stood up.
",Yeah thanks to you, how'd you know I was here,"
",The prophecy and the whole camp heard you scream," Prophecy,Camp, pen sword, and he has sea green eyes,I know exactly who this guy is.
",Your Percy Jackson,Son of Poseidon. I've been looking for you for 4 months,"
",What do you mean," I showed him my bracelet that had a winged shoe on it.
",My father is hermes," I told him",I've met him once after my mother was killed and he told me to find camp half blood and find Luke Castellan,So I did my research and found everything I could on him but a very few things came up. Then I discoverd your name and heard about you a lot,"
",Well then, let's go back to camp," I limped all the way back to camp and he took me into one of the 12 cabins that made a u shape. There where kids of all ages in there and every single one of them looked like they could kill me in an instant. Then a bling hair blue eyed boy came up to Percy and I",Hey Percy," he said.
",Hey this is your new sister Stella,I'm putting you in charge of showing her around and teaching her how to fight,"
",Alright," Percy left",Hi Stella my name is Luke, Luke Castellan. Son of hermes and camp leader not always in that order," he said smiling at me. So this is Luke,He seems a lot friendlier than most of the kids in the cabin. Seriously, all these kids have been staring at me since I walked in",Hi Luke," I said.
",Follow me," he showed me to a room that had three beds",You can live with me in this room since I'll be your mentor here at camp,Come on and sit down," he said, we sat down on his bed",Alright well, tell me about your self Stella,"
",Like what,"I asked.
",Um are you a child of hermes or unclaimed. Stuff like that,"
",I'm actually a child of hermes, He visited me once and that was a couple months ago when my mom was killed,I'm 16, and my last name is hope,"
",That's pretty,"
",Thank you, what about you,"
",I'm 17. You,Percy, Annabeth, Grover, And I I are some of the oldest kids at camp,"
",Who's Annabeth And Grover,"
",They are some campers you'll meet later at the campfire,"
",I'm sorry for all the questions and stuff but I have one more,"
",Ask as many questions as you want,"
",Why do all those kids look like they want to kill me," He chuckled a bit.
",They don't. They might want to hurt you but to be honest everycampee want to hurt each other," oh gods",I'm just playing with you kid," then another camper with black hair and brown eyes came In and sat down on the other bed",Hey Luke," he said.
",Hey Ethan this is the new camper,Stella, she will be staying with us,"
",It's nice to meet you Stella,"
",It's nice to meet you too," I said.
",Have you met Chiron and Mr.D," Luke asked.
",No,"
",Then lets go meet them," We walked out of the cabin and went into a slightly bigger one, when we got in there one guy who had a king beard was sitting in a wheel chair and the other was sitting at a desk pouring wine into a cup. The wine turned to water and he looked up at us",Stella the guy in the wheel chair is Chiron," Luke said.
",Chiron? As the trainer of gods chiron," I asked.
",Indeed I am child," Chiron said.
",This is mr.D or more known as the god of wine," Luke introduced.
",God of wine, as in Dionysus," I asked again.
",Yes,"
",Can you two get out of here," Mr.D said, I'm guessing he's not a fan of either one of us.I followed Luke out of the cabin and it was dark",Os he always like that,"said.
",Unfortunately Yes, he's mad because Zeus sent him here as punishment for falling in love with a nymph,"
",Oh gods, he can't help who he falls in love with,"
",Try and tell Zeus that and see if your not blasted with lighting,"
",No offense gods, but you guys don't sound very nice,"
",Some if then are and some of them abandon their children like our father,"He looked down
",I'm so sorry Luke,"
",Don't apologize it's not your fault it's his,Would you like to go meet some of the other campers,"
",Sure," I Followed Luke to a huge bonfire and a bunch of teenagers where gathered all around it taking and having a good time",Wow everyone looks so normal," I pointed out.
",Yeah, we don't like thinking that monsters and stuff are after us we just act like we're normal teenagers," Luke said.
",Wow," The Percy and a blond hair girl came over,just by the look of her I could tell she was going to get on my nerves",Hey Stella how's everything going so far a camp," he said.
",It's good, it's also very interesting,"
",That's great, Stella this is Annabeth,Annabeth this is Stella,"
",Hey," All she did was nod,okay then. Luke and I walked around he introduced me to some more campers,eventually it got really late and we headed back to the cabin.Ethan was sitting up on his bed",Why don't you get some sleep Stella, we have capture the flag at 8 tomorrow morning," Luke said.
",Whats capture the flag," I asked.
",We have two teams,a blue and a red, I'm the Captin of the blue team and you'll be on the blue team as well. We each have a flag and we have to go and find the other teams flag, you'll have a sword and you fight people," Wellp I haven't even been a camp for a day and I'm gonna die, joy.
",Dude... I have no idea how to fight with a sword,"
",Yes you do, you may not know it yet but it's in our blood. It'll click when you start fighting, I'll also be training you to fight better once we get you a weapon picked out for you,"
",This camp just keeps getting crazier and crazier,"
",You haven't even seen the half of it," He laughed.
",well goodnight Luke,"
",Goidnight Stella," I crawled into the bed and immediately fell asleep. I woke up to Luke shaking me",Come on Stella, let's get ready for capture the flag," he said.
",Okay," I groaned getting up out of the bed,he handed me a out of spandex shorts and orange t-shirt that said'camp half blood' on it.
",Put these on, a friend of mine gave them to me to give to you,"
",Okay thanks," I went into the bathroom and put them on then came out and Luke handed me a bracelet that was in the shape of a snake",Whats this,"
",It's your weapon,"
",This is a bracelet,how's this a weapon,"
",Look,"He grabbed it and flicked it outward and the bracelet was no longer a bracelet,it was a sword. Then he flicked it again and it turned into a whip,"See just think about what you want it to be and it'll turn into it,Try it," he handed me the whip,I thought about a sword and it turned into one. Then I turned it back into a sword",Wow that's cool," I said.
",Yeah it is, now let's go," We went out of the cabin and lined up with a bunch other campers",Be carful and try not to get killed," Luke smirked as the bell rang. Everyone started running so I did to.Next thing I knew I was surrounded by red team members,why do I have to get myself into situations like this. One of the guys swang his sword at me but I instantly put mine up to stop it,Luke wasn't kidding when he said that my instincts will kick it.I ducked another one, Luke came running and it knocked two of the guys out",I'm coming stella," he said getting back to back with me",You weren't playing when you said don't get killed were you," I said.
",Not at all," he laughed",I can hold them off just try to find the flag,"
",Alright Be carful," Luke started fighting all of them and I started running for fear life, I noticed in the corner of my eye Percy was fighting 2 people. He was having some trouble because they where gaining up on him, I'm not good at fight at all but I had to help him. I ran and pushed the girl away from Percy,the girl(who looked more like a weight lifter) came running at me knocking me off of balance.I fell to the ground and Percy looked at me like'your crazy,' which he was right I am pretty crazy for taking on this girl(I think). I stood up",Do you know who I am," she asked, she honestly sounded more like a man.
",No but do I care. Nope,"I said, I really need to learn how to shut up. I was scared to death but I'm not letting anyone see that, I looked behind her and a red flag was hanging there",Now can you move so I can take your guys flag,"
",No your gonna have to take it from me, I'm the daughter of ares which means I don't loose a fight,"
",There's a first time for everything isn't there," Yeah I need to shut up.
",Your gonna regreat that," she swung her sword at me and I ducked out fo the way,I used my foot to kick her back and she tripped on a branch falling. I felt a sharp pain all through my arm and I relized I was cut,how the heck did that even happen. I noticed someone running towards me but I grabbed them and threw them,yep threw them, into the creek next to us. Percy looked at me suprised,Next thing I knew something tipped my feet out from under me and I landed straight on me back, that girl man stood back up. Percy pointed to the flag as in',Go get it,' I had no other way to go so I went under her legs, I ran and grabbed the flag pulling it off the pole",Yes we won," Percy said.The girl was steaming mad",This isn't over," she said.
",It is for now," I smirked and she stormed off,Then I noticed there was a bunch of people around us, Luke ran up to me hugging me ",You did it, we won," he said excitedly.
",Yeah we did," I said trying to catch my breath, I need to get into shape",My arm hurts," I grabbed onto it, the pain was all up and down my arm.
",Come on Then, let me clean it," I followed Luke back into our cabin and I sat down on his bed, he grabbed some wipes and whiped the blood off of ny arm. He then wrapped the cut up",There," he said.
",Thank you," I saidx
",no problem. Your crazier than I thought,"
",Why's that,"
",You has the guts to fight clarrise,"
",Clarrise? That girl who acts like a dude,"
",Yes her," he laughed.
",You were right when you said my instincts would kick In,"
",Yeah it's In our blood,want to go train some,"
",Yes," little did I know the start of this friendship would be the end of me.
