Chapter Two: Making Memories: Annah's POV: Written By Reyna

I ran out the door, following Sadie's lead. The creepy grapevine thing was still following me, and I wished it'd disappear. Especially since all the other campers we ran past were giving me funny looks.

I ran into the Hermes cabin and shut the door. The grapevine stopped outside, waiting for me to leave so it could follow me again. Or so I thought. Sinking to my knees next to Sadie, I smiled as the Hermes cabin cheered us on.

"You actually did it!" One of the Stolls twins cheered. I couldn't remember which one he was, they looked so much alike.

"Can we do it again?" I asked, as I got to my feet. I helped Sadie up and we sat down on one of the bunks.

"You bet!" One kid, I didn't know his name, smiled at us.

"But first, let's get you guys cleaned up." The other Stoll twin led us towards the bathroom. "What'd you guys do? Run into the barbed wire?" He joked.

I glanced at Sadie and we chuckled nervously. "Something like that…" she replied. He just laughed.

After we had cleaned up our cuts and scrapes, it was time for dinner. We followed the Hermes cabin to their table and sat down. A tall burly man, walked onto a small platform to give a few announcements. Or, he looked like a man.

I gasped as I saw his lower body was none other than that of a horse.

"He's a horse!" I said cheerfully. I had always wanted a horse, but Sadie had said that we never could afford to take one with us when we traveled.

"Well, yeah. That's Chiron. He's a centaur." Some kid down the table said.

"Ooooh…" I was amazed. "I wish I could be half-horse!" Some of the other campers laughed at my remark.

"Annah and Sadie, would you please wave your hands so we can see you?" The centaurs voice boomed and I raised my hand. A few campers cheered. Next to me, Sadie raised her hand as well.

"These are our two new campers everyone! They will be staying in the Hermes cabin until they are claimed by their parents!" Chiron explained. A camper with blonde hair rushed up to the centaur. She whispered something to him.

"Oh! It appears as though one of our new friends has been claimed already!" He smiled. Everybody eagerly waited to hear who. Apparently lots of people wanted new campers in their cabin.

"Annah? Would you come here?"

I looked at Sadie who motioned me forward.

"Come on! Listen to the horse!" She whispered.

I smiled and ran up to the centaur. I really, really, wanted to ask him if I could ride him someday, but figured now wasn't a good time.

"Yessir?" I asked.

"It appears you have been claimed already." He smiled at me. I smiled back.

"Maybe, maybe not?" I honestly didn't know, but he didn't know that.

He laughed. "Yes, well, I think you did." He gently grabbed my arm and raised it in the air. "Cabin Twelve! Meet your newest member! Annah, daughter of Dionysus!"

One of the tables cheered loudly and Chiron gestured for me to go and sit with them. I laughed as they made a seat for me and handed me a glass. Inside was a reddish liquid. I took a sip. It was sweet, and tasted like cherry. The counselor, Pollux, informed me it was called Kool-Aide, and was a very popular drink choice.

We held a cheer, and I saw that everyone had a different drink in their cup. Well, some were the same, but mostly different.

Sadie watched as Annah was accepted into her cabin. She was glad for Annah, but a little sad. They would no longer stay in the same cabin. Travis told her that the Hermes cabin and the Dionysus cabin did a lot of activities together, and that made her feel a little better. Still, she wished she'd be claimed so she could fell like she belonged somewhere too.

After dinner and camp songs, everyone went back to their cabins. I decided I wanted to stop by and see Sadie.

I bumped into her as she was walking back to her cabin.

"Hey Sadie!" I giggled.

"Hey Annah, are you okay?" Sadie saw the girl stagger for a moment.

"I'm great!" I felt my voice slur. Sadie raised an eyebrow at me.

"Are you…..drunk?" She whispered. I shook my head rapidly. I didn't think I was, but I couldn't really tell.

Sadie reached forward and grabbed the glass from my hand. She stared at the empty cup and sniffed it.

"Kool-Aide? Seriously?" She looked me in the eye. "How many cups did you have?"

"Six…" I giggled. She stared at me, wide eyed. Pollux called my name from across the field. I gave Sadie a sloppy hug and ran over to join my cabin. She waved as I ran off, a weird look on her face.

I ran inside the cabin. Someone had brought a boom box and we pumped up the radio. I was soo excited. It took me till midnight to realize we weren't going to go to sleep. Pollux had had eight cans of Diet Coke, and was no more "sober" than the rest of us. It was a night to remember.

Sadie, on the other hand, was having just as much fun. Their cabin was in the middle of planning another series of pranks on various cabins. We had one for the Apollo cabin, one for the Aphrodite cabin, and even another for the Ares. Sadie smiled as she helped draw one of the blueprints for the layout of the prank. It was going to be spectacular.

Little known to the Hermes cabin, but Ares had the same idea. They were plotting revenge on the Hermes cabin, and it wasn't going to be pretty. Especially since Clarisse herself came up with the idea.

Around one in the morning the various cabins settled down. The boom box was shut off, blueprints put away, and revenge stored for another day. Before going to bed, Sadie sent a small prayer to the gods, wishing to be claimed by one of them. The last thing she remembered before going to sleep, was the glowing symbol of the caduceus as she drifted off.

I woke up to the sound of a large bugle. I glanced at where I was. I was lying in a bed with two other girls, all of our faces stained red from the Kool-Aide we had last night. I got up and walked over to the bathrooms drowsily. Splashing water on my face, I washed off the red stains. Pollux had woken up, and ten minutes later he led our cabin to breakfast. I ran over to Sadie, who seemed a little more tired than usual.

"What's up?" I asked cheerfully.

"Oh…you know…...stuff." She said with a smile. I knew she was talking about pranks, and I smiled with her.

"Anything interesting happen?" I asked curious. Sadie nodded slowly. She looked around before leaning towards my ear.

"I got my sign." She whispered to me. I stared at her for a moment before tilting my head in confusion.

"Sign? What sign?"

She sighed and leaned in further.

"I got it last night, and this morning." She smiled even wider. I leaned forward and she spoke once more.

"I'm a daughter of Hermes."
