It was just before dinner at camp Half blood and I was starving. For those of you who don't know what I mean, camp half blood is a camp for demigods set up by the Olympian gods. Near the middle of camp there is a U shaped row of cabins, originally only 12, there's now one for each God, major or minor. The camp has a training arena which some campers call the pit. It's got a small farm of strawberries and grapes then there the Forrest full of monsters and the big house. Now, back to the story.

My name is Percy jackson, son of Persidon and Bane of about every monster out there, killer of geae and Kronos, slater of the Giants Yada Yada ADHD is really not fun for long titles. As I walked out of my cabin I heard a monstrous roar from just beyond the camp borders, I knew it was a minotaur... Agh! I stupid, don't think it's name! Bad percy! Bad bad! There was another roar, one that sounded in pain. I pulled a pen from my pocket and charged. Yes I know what your thinking, crazy to attack a monster with a pen, well this isn't an ordinary pen. I pulled off its cap and it magically turned into my sword riptide. As I reached the top of the ridge, the half bull half man monster was flailing trying to get a pail ebony haired girl of its back. The girl in question was wearing all black clothing exactly the same style as my cousin Nico would wear. Her eyes were bright red like burning coals and she was incredibly pail. As the monster reared back the girl impailed a midevil looking storm into the side of its neck and flipped around, dragging the sword 360 degrees, decapitation the beast as it burst into gold dust. The girl fell to the ground just as the ares cabin border patrol arrived.

"are you alright? " I asked her. She gave me a short nod and pulled a water bottle or some red liquid out and drank it.

" so, this is halfblood Hill? " the girl asked. Not waiting for an answer she continued." great, name's Rachel, daughter of Nyx. "

" oh a goth brat. " sneered a girl in a death to Barby shirt, it was Clarissa, daughter of Ares." what are you doing here? "

Rachel groaned and faceplate at that. I had to admit, I like her already." first off, mum sent me here due to some jerk's profficy." at that the setting sun brightened largely. "shut it Apolo!" with that the sun dimmed, stunning the ares campers. "second, I have been chased from Alaska to here by that fucking freak," she gestured to the former monster, "all because I kicked the fucker where Apolo don't shine."

Clarissa smirked and gave a bark of laughter before gesturing for Rachel to follow. "I like you already kid."

As we all headed towards the camp, Rachel grabbed my arm, her hands were fricken cold, like dead cold! "hey, what's your curse?"

I was dumbfounded, not many knew I carried the curse of Achilles or any curse. "Achilles curse."

Rachel nodded and gave a soft grin." hey, cursed people stick together, right? " I gave a numb nod." I carry a curse from Apolo and it's been passed down from my grandfather."

"wow, that must suck." I blurted before I could stop myself.

"tell me about it." she chuckled then blushed slightly and looked away. I have no idea why she did that, the only person who ever did that was Annabeth, who had ditched me last year for some kid of Ares who completed the trials of Hercules, I was suicidal for months afterwards, even asked Ares and artemis to kill me, not that they would. Even Clarissa who normally hated my guts felt sorry for me and kicked Annabeth ass. "so, who's your godly parent?"

"Persidon." I answered devoid of emotion, I was still trying to get over my former girlfriend.

"huh, cool, I wonder what it's like to see a shark eat something up close. " she remarked absently. I shuddered, sharks were very messy eaters seriously, they can make anything a mess which is odd considering how polite they are. I pushed that aside as the dinner conch blew. I just remembered, I AM STARVING!
