Heeey everyone! :D Well, I didn't expect to get any reviews at all. Derek-God of Annoyingness, Boot-chan, I'mAnIdiotButWhoCares, and KayaKaminari-san, it really means a lot to me that you guys liked it. ^.^ If you guys really want me to update then I'll try write a lot more. Week days might get crazy though, cause I get a lot of homework. But thank you so much for the reviews. I thought it would be either no reviews, or people throwing virtual potatos at me. xD

So here's the next part.

Copyright: I don't own Percy Jackson at all. Rick Riordan, one of the greatest men in the universe, created it. ^.^

Rin must have swum for a good half an hour. It was a slow process, and the water was so cold. When she reached the mysterious beach she plopped down onto the sand, trying to catch her breath.

She looked back at the water. The cruise boat was out of sight. She was on her own for now. How could that captain not have anything to pull her up? He should have been fired a long time ago.

Rin pushed herself up off the ground. She was shivering, but she wasn't just going to wait on this beach all day. She wanted to explore a little. She walked slowly over to the canoe boat. It wasn't made out of wood like she had thought. Instead it was made entirely out of metal. It must have taken weeks to build. The craftsmanship was beautiful, and she wondered why something this nice was left out here.

Rin walked further into the woods. They were creepy, that was for sure. The trees were tall and only allowed a little sunlight to seep through. The forest was dead quiet, except for the sound of Rin's shoes churching against leaves and twigs as she walked. She wasn't really sure where she was going or what she was looking for. All Rin knew was that this place seemed special, like it was calling to her.

Rin… You have officially gone crazy," she said to herself.

And that was when a huge… thing knocked into her, sending her flying into a tree. Rin groaned, rubbing her head and trying not to fall down flat on her face. She looked up, and staring down at her was the biggest dog she had ever seen. It must have been on steroids. The dog was as big as a tank with deep black fur and piercing red eyes. Rin did the only thing she could think of: she screamed.

The dog jumped back in surprise, but her scream just got it more excited. It barked loudly and wagged its tail, slicing a few trees in half in the process.

"Um… Look! I don't know how you got so big and all, but you really don't want to eat me!" Rin called, her voice shaking.

The dog barked again, and then tackled her to the ground in one giant leap.

"I'm all bone and no meat! You don't want that, right?" Rin cried, trapped under one massive paw.

The dog continued to bark loudly. Rin shut her eyes and looked away. She was done for! She was going to get eaten by a giant dog. Why couldn't she die a normal death? A heart attack? A car crash? But no, it had to be eaten by a dog. Lovely.

Rin waited for her humiliating death to come. But it never did. Instead something wet and slimy ran along her face. Rin opened her eyes and gazed out at the large dog. Had it just… licked her?

"You're not going to eat me, right?" Rin whispered.

The dog tilted it's hear curiously and stepped back, unpinning Rin from its paw.

"So, you're nice?" Rin asked, standing up.

"BARK!"

"I'll take that as a yes?"

It barked again and started to chase its tail, nearly trampling Rin.

"Mrs. O'Leary?" A voice called.

The dog's head shot up, and in a flash it was running full-speed toward the voice.

"Hey girl, where have you been? Wait… Where are you going? Hey!"

Suddenly Mrs. O'Leary was back, and this time with a friend. Before Rin could even blink she was pinned down again by a massive black paw.

"Hey, get off!" Rin yelled.

A boy came into a view, staring down at her in shock. He was probably about four years older than her. He had black hair and green eyes, and was wearing a bright orange shirt with the words CAMP HALF-BLOOD printed in bold.

"Mrs. O'Leary," the boy said sternly. "I don't think she wants to play."

Mrs. O'Leary whimpered, but removed her giant paw.

"Who the heck are you?" Rin asked, jumping up onto her feet.

"I should be asking you that. How did you get here?"

"I swam," Rin said, pointing to her wet hair.

"But I'm pretty sure we're inside the barrier right now…"

"Huh?"

The boy sighed. "My name's Percy. Nice to meet you."

"Percy… That's a weird name."

Percy glared. "What's yours?"

"Rin Everhart."

"You're calling my name weird?"

Rin ignored his comment, even though she had been the first to insult him. "Why is that dog as big as a tractor, and what barrier are you talking about?"

"Are you dyslexic and ADHD?"

Rin stared at him, her mouth hanging open. How did he know that?

"Well… Are you?" Percy asked.

"Possibly…" Rin stammered.

"Don't worry, I am too. We all are at Camp Half-Blood."

Rin was silent for quite a while. "You mean this valley is a camp?"

Percy nodded.

"But everyone says nothing is here but woods."

"They can't see this camp. A barrier protects it. So does the Mist. Look, can you follow me? Now that I know you're one of us it's safe to bring you into camp."

"Only for a little while. My parents are coming to pick me up soon. I need to find a phone and call them."

Percy raised an eyebrow. "Parents? As in two?"

"Yeah. And my little brother, Austin."

For some reason Percy looked a little confused. Maybe even a little worried. He shook it off, and started to walk deeper into the woods. Mrs. O'Leary chased after him happily, while Rin followed. Why was she following a stranger? She wasn't really sure. Rin just felt like she had to.

They walked in silence, a million questions on the tip of Rin's tongue. She didn't want to ask them, though. Not until they got to the camp he had talked about. Still, she couldn't help but ask one question that had been bugging her.

"What's this camp for, anyway? Do you guys train giant dogs?"

Percy laughed. "Not even close."

"Then what?"

The trees started to thin out, indicating they were almost out of the woods.

"Camp Half-Blood is a camp for special kids."

"Special how?"

Percy stopped walking. "See for yourself."

Rin stared out in shock at the view. Kids of all ages ran around in Greek armor. They were fighting with swords, spears, shields, and daggers. Others were sitting among a huge strawberry field. There was a rock climbing wall that spewed lava, a stable that held large horses with wings, and a dining pavilion with no roof. There was a large blue house off in the distant, half-man half-horse people running around, and a small cluster of different cabins. Basically, it was like a fantasy world laid out in front of her.

"No way…" Rin breathed.

"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, a special camp just for demigods."
