I sat down in the seat beside her and looked at the driver he had eyes all over his body and I mean real human eyes on his body. I looked behind me to find that sea green eyed boy behind Thailia and I looked behind my seat the find a boy around my age with black hair also but his was a bit longer than the other boy's. His skin was also a bit darker and his eyes were solid back. Despite his dark skin color he looked rather pale. The boy caught me looking at him and blushed; I turned my head around to Thailila.
"So, Iris I know this is pretty weird. But we will explain when we get to camp. Don't worry about your sister, you mother knows what was going to happen." Said Thailila.
"How do you know my name?" I asked. She pointed to my bracelet it said Iris in blue letters on it. "What is this 'camp' thing you are talking about? Why are you taking me? Who are you people?" the questions finally spilled out like running water.
"Iris we must not talk about this before you get to camp. If we do the monsters will know where we are you will know everything in time. I promise you will know. But we can tell you who we are. I am Thailila, Daughter of Zeus, huntress of Atremis. He is Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon." She pointed to the boy will the sea green eyes, the same color as the trident of the front of my shirt. "And this is Nico son of Hades. She pointed to the boy with the black eyes.
This was a lot to take in, was this actually true? It was silent in the car for a long time. I looked at my watch and it said it was around 11 pm. Have we been driving for that long already? I guess I have been thinking so much I have not really paid attention to the time. Where was this camp thing anyway? Thailia said she would explain everything once we got there. I guess all that there is for me to do is wait. I laid my head on the back of the seat and shut my eyes.
You have been calmer than others… most have been freaking out but you are surprisingly calm... my name is Nico DeAnglelo son of Hades God of the Underworld. You have had a lot of questions about what is to lie ahead. Well the camps name is Camp Half-blood meaning half human half god. The Greek gods like Athena and Hermes go in the human world have mate with the mortals. Camp Half-blood is a camp for half-bloods to learn how to survive to live and protect themselves from monsters. Right now we are trying to protect you from them so we can get you to New York as fast as we possibly can before any monsters figure out that you are alive. I know all of this may be a lot to take in all at once but you will understand over time. Once Chiron talks to you. I will talk to you soon and hopefully I won't have to wait until you are asleep to talk to you. But it is only safe to talk about camp in your dreams, until we get to camp. As I said Chiron will explain everything.
I woke up and automatically turned around to see Nico asleep leaning against the window. He looked so young for his real age when he was asleep. So peaceful. Luckily everyone else except for the driver with the many eyes who was driving of course. I closed my eyes again and fell asleep again.
I woke up to Thailila shaking me awake. "We are here!" she said excitedly. I looked out the window only to see a strawberry field. I looked at her confused. "Oh, yeah we have the strawberry field the nature spirits grow them, good money with the mortals. Just wait and you will see." So I did wait and I saw this tree with a fleece thing on it with a dragon around the tree like it was trying to guard something. Creepy. Note to self: don't go to that tree.
Finally we parked in front of a big house, it was painted blue, and the paint was peeling off of the outside of the house. The eye man got out first and opened the door for us. I got out of the car first followed by Thailila and the boys. A man half horse guy walked up to us. "Hello, Chiron." Percy said.
"Ah hello, Percy, Thailia, and Nico. This must be Iris. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. I supposed Nico told you everything." Said Chiron. Nico nodded. "Oh good. Well then I take it that at least one of you will be kind enough to show Iris around the camp. I will see you all at dinner." Chiron galloped away.
"I will show her around," said Nico. "Two can go reunite with Anabeth and Atremis." He grabbed my hand and led me away from them.
