2. Five years on
I have been at this camp for five years,-although its a summer camp-its a camp for special people, people, who are half-bloods, children of the Greek Gods and Goddesses, my mother is Athena, the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy.
Which means I've never lost a battle and I can outmanouver almost everyone, and I always have a plan, especially in capture the flag-a game we have every friday, ill explain later- and in the arena to win against the people that dare to challange me.
Its been almost a whole three semesters since Chiron (our camp director) has got the call from Grover to go to a school in the city, somewhere in brooklyn.
Chiron didn't tell me much about it, which is something I hate, I hate not knowing things me being widoms daughter.
So all us campers were stuck with Mr D, the God Dyonisus, the God of wine, he was made a God after he invented wine, Heista the godess of the Hearth stepped down from the twelve Olympians to give her seat up to Dyonisus, well that's how Zeus said it, but I know that Zeus told Heista to give up her seat for Dyonisus.
Dyonisus was banned from Olympus, because he chased an off-limits Nymph, the first time Zeus gave him a warning, the second time he sent him here, to camp half-blood, with us "wretched kids". As he calls us.
I was standing by the lake watching the Naireds doing underwater basket weaving, when a column of water shot out of the lake and scared me half to death, I stumbled backwards, before regaining myself.
'Annabeth.' Grover said through the column of water.
'Grover, where's Chiron?' I asked.
'He should be at camp very soon.' Grover replied, as he wrinkled his nose.
'Grover, where you IM'ing (Iris messaging)me from?' I asked.
'The boys toilets.' He admitted sheepishly, looking down,
'Eeew.' He said looking back up. 'I need to go, Chirons told me I have to take this ha-...' The Column fell, that was the end of that conversation.
'Annabeth.' A different voice called.
It was Malcom my brother, from my mother, Athena.
See most Gods and Godesses fall in love with mortals, but three Gods are ecxeptions (I'll get to that later) and they have kids. I came out from my mothers head, as she did from her father Zeus, all my brothers and sisters from Athena, also came from her head, but all the other kids here either came from their Godess mother or their mortal mother depending on if they had a God or Godess as their parent.
I have quite a few siblings, but the Hermes cabin has the most children, but half of them in there are unditermined, which means that we don't know who their Godly parent is.
There are also loads of children in the appolo cabin, not as many as in the Hermes, but still loads of them.
There aren't enough beds in the Hermes cabin so the ones that don't have a bed, they sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag, I'll admit its not that comfy (I don't speak of experience).
'Hey Malcom.' I greeted. 'What's up?' I asked.
'Chiron wants you at the big house.' He told me.
'He's back?' I asked.
'Yeah.' He replied.
'Thanks Malcom.' I said happily hugging him.
- jogged up to the big house.
The big house is a four storey tall sk blue building with a white line before the roof , it was made completely out of wood and had a wooden porch that went the whole way round.
I saw a table, it was the table than Mr D normally plays Pinochle with Chiron, and maybe a few Satyrs, but at the moment, the table had no-one sitting at it.
Mr D, however was lying down casually snoring on a sun bed.
Mr D was quite short, still taller than me, but only a little. He was a little fat, he had a red nose, and his eyes were red, becise they watered loads, though nobody knew why, ecxept maybe the Satyrs, but they were too scared to say why. He had shirt curly black hair that almost looked purple. He looked middle age, and grumpy, Gods change their appearence, due to their mood. So Mr D's fitted perfectly. He wore a tiger pattern hawaian shirt, he wore a pair of blue swimming trunks and sandals, not flip-flops, he'll get annoyed if you call them flip flops.
A diet coke can was on the porch directly under his hand, he fell asleep with it in his hand, the coke from the can was spilt over the porch, some of it was seeping through the gaps of the wooden boards.
I ran past Mr D. And made my way to the rec room which is where the coucellors meet.
All the councellors from the cabins that had children were circled around the ping-pong table chatting quietly while some waiting for me.
I saw Luke across the table, he smiled at me and I blushed, I noticed his scar from a few years ago.
He wnt on a quest and Chiron hasn't let anyone go on one since.
I quickly turned to Chiron, hoping luke wouldn't notice.
Clarisse was looking into space an she held her electric spear, she normally looks murderous, but at the moment I was trying not to laugh.
Clarisse had long brown hair and now I was looking, the same colour eyes.
I looked at Silena, who had the same colour and length of hair as Clarisse, but her eyes are blue.
Silena was a daughter of Aphrodite.
She was looking at beckendorf, who was tinkering with a few pieces of metal.
Beckendorf has black curly hair and brown eyes. His arms are big and burly, probably, because he works in the forges almost the whole day.
Lee Fletcher, the head of the Apollo cabin was counting the bows in his quiver. Lee has sun blond hair and blue eyes
Many other Campers were also there.
'Okay campers, silence.' He said.
'Everyone had stopped chatting and looke d towards him, I would like to tell you that Grover, as sokme of you may know will be back in a few days,' he started and eyed Luke and I. 'also many of our campers will arrive here early in the morning tomorrow.'
Good, I thought, many more of my friends will be here, so the camp won't feel as empty.
'Well, that about it, no if you wouldn't mind I have to train the Apollo kids. Come on Lee.' he said.
Lee followed him out of the house, I left immediatly, not wanting to get caught up in another fight with Clarisse. I went to my Cabin.
My bed was really messy stacked with millions of pieces of paper, most of them had designs on them, I saw one of my siblings, he came last year and he took a piece of paper from my bed.
'Malcom.' I called.
He turned to face me.
'Yes Annabeth.' He could tell by the tone of my voice I was a little annnoyed.
'Liams taken a plan from my bed.' I told him.
'What did I tell you?' I asked him.
'Sorry Annabeth.
'Liam, what did I tell you about touching Annabeths plans?' He asked.
'Sorry Malcom, I was just looking at it to see what it was. I'm sorry Annabeth.' He apologized.
'That's fine, just don't touch without permission next time please.' I told him.
He handed me back my plan, it was a map of capture the flag from last year, when we won it.
I took all my pieces of paper and sorted them from plain and ones with plans on, I put them in two seperate piles. I put the ones that were plain, back on the desk at the end of the cabin, and I found a folder with dividers to put my plans in.
Once I had done that, I set that on my bed and sorted out my pens, pencils and other equipment.
I sorted them out, putting them in my tin I made two years ago.
After I sorted out my stuff I went outside to try the climbing wall, I saw Dyonisus was up he was cheering his sons to cimb the wall faster.
Our climbing wall is unlike any other climbing wall.
First of all it isn't plastic or solid papermache, its made out of a column of rock.
Second, there are no hooks to help you up, you have to grab on ledges.
And third their is lave falling from it after ten seconds of you touching the wall.
Pollux and Castor hadn't mastered it just yet.
'Just think as you get nearer to the top, you are that bit futher away from death.' Dyonysus said.
Encouraging words, I thought sarcastically.
I'm just glad he isn't my dad.
At the moment, I don't really care who my dad was unless it was dyonisus, or someone evil, because my dad doesn't care for me.
Today was the last day of freedom, untill we got back to our day to day activities.
'Castor, Pollux, just remember where the ledges are, where you can hold onto, the everytime you try, just go a little faster.' I told them as the reached the bottom. 'Watch.' I said.
I climbed up the wall in seven seconds.
The was was about ten metres high. I looked down at them.
'See.' I said.
They nodded.
Once I got down they tried again, Castor reached the top after twelve seconds, he was followed by Pollux three seconds later.
I congatulated them and went to Chiron who was practicing his already perfected archery.
'Hi Chiron.' I greeted him.
I saw Lee Fletcher and his brother Will Solace, who looked exactly the same, but he was the same age as me and not thirteen as Lee was, he was also shorter than Lee, his hair was scruffy, unlike Lee's, which was a little longer than a buzz cut.
'Hello child.' He always called me that. 'I was hoping I would get to speak to you. Alone. I need to tell you something, wait for me at the big house.' He finished.
I decided to take a look at the cabins on the way.
I went to look at the empty cabins, the cabins that would never have a camper in them.
So I looke at Posiedons, Zeus's, Hera's and Artemis's.
Posiedons cabin is a long, low building with windows that fac towards the ocean, and it looks like it's made of rough sea stones, with different pieces of coral at the end of the cabin and a seashell and a trident at the opposite side over the door. I leant towards it and I could smell a sea breeze overwhelming every other scent my nose picked up.
Zeus's cabin is a large marble building looking like a mausoleum, with huge columns. The big bronze double doors are polished in such a way to provide a 'holographic' effect of lightning bolts passing across it. It also thunders most of the time. Well it is Zeus's cabin.
Heras cabin is a marble, formal-looking building, graceful with thin columns garlanded with pomegranates and flowers. It is done in a similar way to Zeus' cabin.
Artemis's cabin is covered in silver and each window hold two silver curtains one draped in each side, it is similar to the outfit that the Hunters wear. It also glows silver during night time as if reflecting the moon. It is decorated with paintings and carvings of wild animals. Because Artemis doesn't have children-as she is the virging goddess- of her own the cabin is honorary, but it is used by the Hunters when they visit the camp.
I also went to visit the Demeter cabin, as I wanted to talk with Katie Gardner, I wanted to ask her something, that no-one else coulkd know about.
