Chapter 2

Luke narrowed his eyes at the camp border; he swore he could saw a girl around twelve years old ran towards the border. But before she could reach it, a huge heel hound hit her hard and pinned her on the ground. Luke winced when the girl face hit the ground hard, when he wanted to help the girl he saw the girl made a stupid move. The girl made a wild slashed with her sword, but she managed to wound the hellhound. When her sword touch the hell hound skin, the hellhound quickly turned into a pile of golden dust that showered her.

When the girl stood up Luke was shocked, he never seen anyone that beautiful. Her eyes were sea-blue that sometimes flickered into sea-green, her long wavy black hair; even with her nose broken she still looked stunning. The girl yelped brought Luke into the earth again, he saw a Cyclops held her tightly that she could ran out of air anytime. Luke drew his sword and rushed towards the Cyclops, he stabbed at the Cyclops and the Cyclops quickly turned into golden dust. Quickly he caught the girl before she hit the ground again; the girl looked at him with her beautiful sea-blue eyes before she lost her consciousness. Luke carried her bridal style towards the infirmary, all the campers started to gather around him when they saw Luke carried a new girl. Annabeth came and pushed some kids aside, so she could saw what just happened, when she saw Luke carried that girl on bridal style she couldn't help herself that she felt jealous.

"Luke who is that?" she asked.

"I don't know Annabeth. I just saw her fought some monster near the camp border" Luke answered.

Annabeth took a good look at the girl; she winced slightly when she knew the girl nose was broken. The girl had a long wavy black hair but she couldn't saw her eyes, so she couldn't figure out who's this girl godly parent.

"Annabeth you must tell Chiron about it, tell him that a new camper get attack by monster when she about to reach the camp border. That's rare case you know, unless she is…."Luke didn't finished his word, something appeared on his mind but quickly he tossed aside that idea.

"Are you suggesting she's like Thalia?" Annabeth asked.

Luke flinched slightly when Annabeth said that name "I would rather not talk about that" Luke replied coldly.

Annabeth wanted to say something but Luke gave her a shot that made Annabeth pursed her lips.

"Just tell Chiron about it. I will take care of her" Luke said.

Annabeth wanted to protest but she huffed and ran towards the big house. On there she found Chiron talked to Grover, her friend.

"I understand Grover. I suggest you keep your eye on that boy, and tell me as soon as possible if something goes wrong" Chiron said.

Grover chewed his shirt "Sir, I will try my hardest. I won't fail again, I promise."

Chiron gave him sad look "I know Grover, just try to be alive until next summer okay"

Grover nodded and he turned, when he saw me he gave her smiled "Hey Annabeth"

Annabeth just nodded at him, and she walked towards Chiron "Chiron I have some good news and bad news for you"

Chiron looked at Annabeth with curious "What do you mean Annabeth?"

Even Grover stopped at his track and looked at Annabeth "Is there anything happened?" he asked

Annabeth nodded "The good news is we have a new camper, she just arrived"

Chiron eyes lighten up a bit "That's good news my dear."

Annabeth nodded, but soon her face turned into more serious expression that made Chiron worried.

"The bad news, she got attacked by some monster when she about to enter the camp border. I actually didn't saw it, but Luke saw everything" Annabeth said.

Grover whimpered at the thought of it, the memory about his first missions appeared on his mind again.

"She…she didn't die, did she?" Grover asked his voice filled with worried.

"She safe Grover, but she got hurt pretty badly. Last time I saw her, Luke carried her into the infirmary" Annabeth answered.

Chiron sighed "Thanks god she still alive. We don't want another tragedy on that place again"

Annabeth nodded grimly "Yeah, Chiron do you think that girl…"

Chiron shook his head "It is not the right time Annabeth. We can't draw any conclusion yet, maybe that's just coincident" but judging from expression Annabeth knew Chiron wasn't sure about it.

"Anyway, we should see that girl." Chiron said and gave Annabeth warm smile "Grover I believe you have to leave soon enough, and take care of yourself" Chiron said to Grover.

Grover nodded and he ran to the cabin eleven, Annabeth looked at Chiron with her stormy grey eyes

"Chiron what happened with Grover?" Annabeth asked.

"Ah, shall we leave. I believe the Luke already wait for us in infirmary" Chiron said, ignored Annabeth questions.

Annabeth gave Chiron cold glare, but Chiron managed to ignore it. Instead comforted Annabeth he galloped towards the infirmary. Annabeth let out a loud sighed before she chased Chiron; she couldn't believe that Chiron hid something for her. When she arrived there, she could see all the campers started to disperse when they saw Chiron came. Chiron trotted into the infirmary and Annabeth followed him, when they inside Annabeth saw Luke sat beside the girl. The girl nose had already healed, and now she breathed steadily. Luke held the girl hand gently and muttered something. Annabeth cheek went hot when she saw this; Luke just knew this girl and now he acted like that. How dare he, I thought after what happened with Thalia he had already fallen for me but this, Annabeth thought. She gave the girl and Luke sharp glared, her fist tightened until her knuckle when white. But much to her surprise the girl eyes started to flutter opened, Annabeth came closer and what her saw made her shocked.

Grey met sea-green eyes, and Annabeth couldn't say a word when she saw the girl eyes. The girl blinked multiple times and Annabeth saw the girl eyes changed from sea-green into beautiful sea-blue eyes. The girl looked at Annabeth with curious looks.

"Who are you? And where am I?" The girl asked.

Annabeth studied her, try to guess who her godly parent is. The girl still looked at Annabeth and she narrowed her eyes a bit, like demand Annabeth to answer her question.

Annabeth lips twitched into tiny smile when she saw a glint of smartness in the girl eyes "My name is Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. That boy who rescue you is Luke, son of Hermes"

Luke smiled at the girl and Annabeth swore she saw the girl cheek turned slightly pink.

"You're in Camp-Half Blood….." Annabeth continued.

"Camp for people like you, half human half god" the girl finished Annabeth sentences.

"How do you know that?" Annabeth asked.

"You already said that your mom Athena right? And she is goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. From that I knew that this camp for people like you and like me" the girl explain.

Annabeth was shocked by the girl smartness, she only about her age and her as smart as her. Annabeth looked at the girl closely, maybe tried to find the similarities of her with her mom. But she's not Athena child, and her eyes different. Her eyes warm, friendly and show something like umm, power? And usually Athena kid eyes were intimidating, and she didn't found anything like that on her eyes.

"Who are you?" Annabeth asked.

"Pearl Anderson, you can call me Pearl. And my godly parent….."Pearl looked hesitated a bit "I…don't know, but I guess she's a goddess since my mortal parent is my dad"

Luke scowled at this "I can't believe it. Another undermined demigod, they sure have been busy lately"

Annabeth gave Luke scolding look when she heard a thunder rumbled outside even though the sky is clear. Chiron gave Luke sad look before he turned to Pearl.

"Well let's hope that's your mom will claim you soon enough" Chiron said.

-Line Break-

Pearl felt guilty when she lied about her godly parent; of course she knew who her godly parent was. But her mom, Amphitrite told her to not tell anyone about it especially about her being blessed by all the major goddess in Olympus and the fact that Poseidon was her adopted father, also the fact that she inherit Poseidon power like his own child. Her mom said it would be very dangerous, and she also said when the times came she would claim her. She knew when she got claimed all major goddess of Olympus, all of their symbols would appear above her head plus Poseidon symbol. And she knew that would made Zeus freaked out and became more paranoid than usual, maybe Zeus would blast her on the spot if he knew that Poseidon was her adopted father.

"Pearl" Chiron called her.

Pearl snapped back from her thought and she looked at Chiron "Yes?"

"You will stay at cabin eleven until your mom claim you. Lucky for you the counselor of cabin eleven is the one who save you" Chiron said.

"You mean Luke?" Pearl tilted her head.

Chiron nodded and he turned towards Luke "Luke bring her to cabin eleven, and also give her a tour around the camp okay."

Luke grinned at this "Come on Pearl, I'll show you around."

Pearl gave him small smile and she nodded. Pearl got down from the bed, and she almost tripped when her feet touch the ground. Thanks to Luke, if he weren't by her side sure enough she would kiss the ground again.

"Whoa be careful Pearl" Luke said while he held Pearl arm.

Pearl blushed slightly when Luke helped her to stand up. Luke looked at Pearl worriedly.

"Are you sure you can walk?" he asked.

Pearl nodded "Yeah, I can walk. Just a bit tired"

Luke smiled "We better be quick, so you can take a rest at cabin"

Luke grabbed Pearl hand and gently pulled her to the outside. Pearl gasped when she saw the camp, she always heard the camp from her mom and Triton her brother. But when she saw it for real she couldn't explain it, beautiful wasn't enough to describe the camp.

"This is amazing" Pearl said.

Luke took a quick glanced on Pearl, he couldn't believe it that he would meet someone as beautiful as her. Pearl still looked at the camp in awe, her eyes kept changed between sea-blue to sea-green.

"Let's get going. I'll show you around" Luke said.

Pearl nodded and followed him. Luke explained as much as he can, although Pearl strangely knew about this stuff. Luke couldn't resist anymore and asked how she knew about all of this.

"Oh, um…"Pearl hesitated "My dad told me about it"

Luke tilted his head "But still, how did your dad know?"

Pearl avoided Luke eyes "I guess my mom told him about it"

"You are not hiding anything right?" Luke asked her.

Pearl bit her lips, and she started to get nervous "Why should I? I would be happy if I told you about my godly parent"

"Yeah, I bet you would be like stay in your mom cabin" Luke answered.

"But as long as she doesn't claim me, I will stay with you until she claimed me right?"Pearl asked, she quite happy with the fact that Luke believed her lie.

Luke blushed a bit when he heard Pearl question "Yeah I guess"

"So, where is your cabin?" Pearl asked.

"Oh yeah, come on I'll show you" Luke said and walked towards his cabin.

Pearl followed Luke and she looked at Luke back, judged from his bitter sound when he found out that her mom didn't claimed her looks like Luke hate his father and the gods. But she decided not to talk about it now, it will make everything worse.

"I guess you must be pretty strong demigod" Luke said.

Pearl stopped "What?"

Luke turned around and looked at Pearl right in the eye "All of the monsters that following you. Usually if it not a big three demigod or strong demigod they won't hunt you down like that"

Pearl looked at her feet uncomfortably "Maybe I ran out of luck"

Luke studied her "You're not one of the big three child aren't you?"

Pearl head snapped up and she glared at the son of Hermes "Why would you think like that? I already told you right, my godly parent is my mom not my dad"

Luke held his hand up "Whoa take it easy. It just a guess"

Pearl still glared at Luke, but instead of cowered in fear he gave her a huge grinned. Pearl huffed and turned around avoided Luke face. Luke came forward and patted her shoulder.

"Come on Pearl, I just curious. Okay then I swears that I'll never bring that up again" he said.

Pearl lips twitched into tiny smile when she heard Luke said that, she turned and saw Luke still looked at her with pleading looks.

"Okay then. Now where is your cabin again?" Pearl asked.

Luke grinned "This way your majesty"

Pearl followed Luke who still talked about the camp activities. Pearl stopped when she saw cabin three, Poseidon cabin. She remembered that Poseidon had one demigod, a son but she couldn't remember the boy name, something like Perry or Perky. Luke turned and he raised his eyebrow when he saw Pearl stared at Poseidon cabin with unreadable expression. He walked towards Pearl and patted her shoulder. Pearl gave Luke a quick glance.

"What's wrong?" Luke asked.

Pearl shook her head "Nothing. Is this cabin always empty?" Pearl asked and pointed into Poseidon cabin.

"Yes. It's forbidden for Big Three to sire any demigods" Luke answered.

Pearl shoulder tensed when she heard that, is that mean that Perky or whatever his name is a mistake? Luke sighed and rubbed his forehead, he looked at Zeus cabin with uncomfortable look.

"What happened if they have demigod?" Pearl asked.

Luke flinched when he heard it "I…I don't want to talk about it"

Pearl gave Luke a calculating looks, she tried to figure out what happened. But Luke gave her expression that told her to drop it, Pearl sighed and she gave up. She didn't want to make enemy on her first day at the camp.

"Come on, let's keep going. It's almost dinner time. You don't want to miss it right?" Luke said.

Pearl could hear her stomach rumbled she hadn't eaten anything since last night. Because monster kept followed her around, so she couldn't take any break to eat or rest. Luke grinned when he heard that, he took Pearl hand and guided her towards his cabin. Pearl face turned red when Luke held her hand, she couldn't understand why but the butterflies in her stomach flew around when Luke did that. When they arrived at cabin eleven Pearl jaws dropped to the ground. From the entire cabin she saw, cabin eleven just like old and regular summer cabin that she usually saw. Luke stopped and he turned to Pearl, he gave Pearl a small smile, that made Pearl heart went crazy.

"Welcome to cabin eleven." Luke said.

Pearl noticed the caduceus symbol on the cabin "Hermes, messenger of the gods, and the god of traveler" Pearl said and earned a big grin from Luke.

"Come on, let me introduce you to my siblings and other unclaimed demigods" Luke said.

Pearl followed Luke from behind. Luke knocked the door and a boy with facial feature that everybody would mark him as the troublemaker opened the door. The boy looked at Luke for a second and he noticed Pearl who stood behind Luke, he grinned at Luke and wagged his eyebrow.

"Wow, who is that Luke? She's totally hot" the boy wolf-whistle.

Luke rolled his eye and gave the boy scolded look "Travis move aside. I want to come in"

Travis opened the door and he kept stared at Pearl, Pearl moved uncomfortably because of it.

"Travis could you stopped stared at her? You scared her" Luke said and pushed Travis aside.

"Aw Luke, that's not fair. Why do you always get the hot one?" Travis pouted.

Luke raised one of his eyebrows and smiled "So?"

Travis huffed "That's just not fair"

Luke laughed and pushed Travis lightly so he could enter the cabin. Pearl gave Travis small smile and Travis faces turned bright red when he saw that. When Pearl saw the cabin she gasped, the cabin is overcrowded some of the kids slept on the floor with sleeping bag, not only that the floor almost full so she barely could move around freely.

"Is this all the unclaimed demigod?" Pearl asked slowly.

"Yes, so sad right? The gods ignore their own kids, and they keep make a new one" Luke answered bitterly.

Pearl bit her lips, she clearly uncomfortable with this. She is lucky that her mom still cared about her and her brother too. But this, Pearl shook her head sadly when she saw all the unclaimed demigods sat on the floor with broken hearted face. She could felt her eyes got watery, she blinked her eyes multiple times to get rid the tears that wanted to flow. Luke turned around and he shocked when he saw Pearl in the verge of crying. Luke rushed towards her and put his hand on her shoulder gently.

"Hey, don't cry" Luke said.

Pearl wiped her tears and looked at Luke "I have no idea that the gods like this" Pearl manage to say that and pointed her finger at the demigods who stare at the window with empty eyes.

Luke sighed "They just like that never care about us. They only one they care are themselves"

Pearl looked at her shoe "Are all the gods like that?"

Luke tilted his head "Only a few gods that claim their children, but most of them just ignore them"

When Pearl wanted to speak something, she heard the sound of a conch horn. Luke smiled and wiped her tears that still on her cheek, Pearl blushed when Luke finger touched her cheek.

"Come on, it's dinner time. I bet you hungry" Luke said.

"But, where….?" Pearl asked.

"Don't worry about that. We will figure out where you will sleep after dinner" Luke cut out.

Pearl nodded and followed him to the outside.

"Eleven! Line up!" Luke shouted.

All the campers inside cabin eleven started to come out from the cabin and form a line, Pearl just looked at them she confused where should she stood. Until a hand grabbed her hand and dragged her to the back. Pearl looked at the person who dragged her, she noticed him as Travis but isn't he a little taller than this boy.

"Connor, how dare you. She's mine" Pearl heard Travis voice from the back.

"Whatever Travis, you already have your own girl" Connor said.

Travis face turned bright red "She's not my girl. She's just a target for my wonderful pranks"

"Whoa wait a minute" Pearl decided to cut in.

Connor and Travis stopped arguing and turned to her. Pearl looked at them clearly confused and a bit annoyed.

"Who are you guys? And why are you dragging me to here?" Pearl asked.

Connor grinned and he took Pearl hand "Connor Stoll at your service" after that Connor kissed Pearl hand.

Pearl just stood there shocked when Connor did that, but when Travis pushed Connor aside Pearl recovered from her shocked state.

"Just ignore my brother. My name is Travis Stoll your majesty" Travis said and bowed gracefully in front of Pearl.

Pearl lips twitched into a tiny smile "Pearl Anderson"

Connor wolf-whistled "You're a Pearl, shinier than a real pearl"

Travis smacked his brother "What a horrible pick-up line"

Before Connor could protest, Luke stopped them by giving two of them a sharp glare that said if you keep disturb Pearl, I'll make you clean the Pegasus stable. Pearl laughed when she saw Connor and Travis hurriedly came back to their place, Pearl walked and stood behind Connor. Luke began walked towards the dining hall with the rest on the cabin followed him. When they arrived there most of the camper already there and sat on their own table depend on their godly parents. Pearl saw Annabeth sat down with a bunch of kids that's looks like her, blonde hair, stormy-grey eyes and serious expression.

"Pearl, come on. Are going to stand up like that a whole night?" Luke said.

Pearl turned and she followed Luke, she saw that the table for their cabin already full and just enough for one person to sit there.

"Luke it's almost full. There's only space for one person to sit there" Pearl said.

"You can sit on my lap" Luke suggested and wagged his eyebrow at Pearl.

Pearl face turned bright red when she heard Luke idea, she looked at the other empty table if she wanted she could just sat down on Poseidon table, since she's his adopted daughter. Luke laughed hard when he saw Pearl expression.

"Just kidding, if you sit on my lap how suppose I eat my dinner." Luke said between his laughed.

"So do you have any idea, genius?" Pearl asked a bit annoyed with Luke attitude.

"Well, we can share the bench, or I can tell them to move so there's enough space for both of us, or do you prefer the first option" Luke said and grinned at Pearl.

Pearl narrowed her eyes at Luke "I prefer you tell them to move so there enough space for both of us"

Luke winked his eye at Pearl "Okay then. Guys, can you move to the right a little. There's not enough space for me and Pearl so we can sit since she doesn't want to share that space with me"

Pearl gave Luke her famous 'I-kill-you-painfully' glare, but instead of gulped and begged for forgiveness he just gave Pearl a huge smile. Pearl cursed silently when the butterflies inside her stomach started to fly around like crazy.

"Wow, even they moved there barely enough space for both of us" Luke said and shook his head.

"Well we never know until we try right?" Pearl said.

Luke grinned and he sat first, but when Pearl sat there she barely got enough space so she could sit there. And the solution, she move to the right so she sat so close to Luke, so close even she could feel Luke warm breath on her neck. Luke blushed when he realized he could smell Pearl scent, her scent is so good, like a beach, wood, and all the good things. When Pearl moved a little her hair brushed Luke cheek he blushed even more. He even couldn't hear what Chiron said, all his attention absorbed into Pearl completely. How she tucked her hair when she bored or nervous, how she laughed, Luke shook his head hard. He had to focus; he couldn't get distracted since somebody already lived in the deepest and darkest part of his mind. But Luke realized that he already fall for her, no matter how he denied it deep down on his heart he already fall for Pearl Anderson the mysterious new camper. When he still young he didn't believe at love at first sight, but now he believed it since he had already fallen for the girl that sat so close to him. And he promised himself that even somebody already lived in his mind, he'll never hurt her, and let that person hurt her.

That's it for today

Please review it okay
