Chapter two

Why is my Head Glowing?

I stood up and rubbed the back of my head. Where am I? I looked around the dark room filled with bunks, it looked like a cabin, the weird thing was only one bed looked to have ever been slept in.

"AHHHH!" I turned around and was facing a boy about my age, so fifteen or so. I looked around again and looked back at the boy, he seemed familiar some how. The boy pulled a sword from his side and took a step forwards.

"W-who are you?" I took a step backwards and fell over a bed.

"Ow." I opened my eyes, I was lying on the floor looking up at the ceiling with my feet still on the bed. I heard laughing and looked over the edge of the bed. The boy put his sword back and made his way over to the bed I had fallen over, he stuck a hand out to me trying to stop from laughing.

"Umm do you need some help?" I laughed and took his hand. I took a seat on the bed and the boy sat on the bed across from me. I tugged at the necklace around my neck nervously.

"Ok so who are you?" The boy stopped laughing and had a very serious look on his face. Even if he did just help me, he kinda scares me.

"Umm I'm Jessica, w-who are you? And where am I?" The boy smiled at me and I began to calm down a little.

"I'm Nico Di angelo, and you're at Camp Half Blood." I'm pretty sure my jaw hit the floor. I was just reading The Lost Hero and now I'm in Camp Half Blood? Mabye I hit my head harder than I thought. I stood up and ran to the door, I ran outside and realized that Nico was following me. I looked around a my eyes landed on Harper and Ariel who were coming out of two seperate cabins. I ran towards them.

"Guys umm WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" My two best friends shrugged obviously just as confused as me. I saw Harper and Ariel starring at my head. I sighed.

"Your head?" I thought mabye I had a bump from when I fell over the bed so I just reached up and rubbed my head. I felt about a dozen different sets of eyes on me and turned around, everyone was looking at me. I turned around and faced my friends again.

"What is everyone looking at?" I whispered.

"Your head!" I sighed and looked up. Floating above my head was a small circle with a sort of helm on the inside. The circle was all black so there was a black glow suronding me. I gasped and looked at Harper and Ariel. Above Harper's head was a circle just like mine but with a different symbol and an electric blue colour, her circle had a lighting bolt in the middle. I looked at Ariel and she had a cirle that was yellow and had a caduseus in the middle. We all starred at each other in amazment.

"Huh I guess you're a child of Hades." I jumped and turned around and saw Nico standing behind me. So that's where I was before, I was in the Hades cabin. A guy came up behind Harper and tapped her on the shoulder, the guy looked to be about 15. The guy looked at her and smiled.

"You're a child of Zeus." Harper nodded and smiled. I turned around and looked at Arielle a group of people where running up to stand behind her. A boy stepped out and smiled hugely.

"You're a child of Hermes Welcome to the cabin." The group cheered and Ariellemiled. Then Nico spoke up from beside me.

"Let's go we should probably show you your cabins and tell Chiron." Everyone nodded and the group divided. I sighed and turned to Nico. He smiled and gestured for me to follow him. I followed Nico back to the cabin and he opened the door and told me to go in. I smiled and looked around. I guess this would be home...Until I can figure out how to get out of here.
