This is chap two. She had it written so I thought what the hey. Hope you like.

MOTHER

I heard people speaking several. I opened my eyes and looked around. I noticed Annebeth, Chiron, Percy and Ares. They were all sitting on a porch. I sat up and they all came in. Ares handed me a glass and said,

"You okay?" His voice was not as rough as yesterday.

I tasted the drink and I could think of nothing else. It tasted perfect. Like Chicago Pizza, Root Beer, and cotton candy. My eyes lit up as I took another sip. They were quiet as I drank, which was weird (Everything is weird since I came here). I finished and placed the glass on the nightstand.

A guy I hadn't seen before came into the room. He wore a neon orange button-up zebra shirt, and purple shorts. He had dark curly hair and a pink nose. He looked so adorable.

"Welcome to camp half-blood. My name is Mr. D. Long story short, your parent was a God, and they abandoned you. You're here with us now. Chiron will place you in a cabin. Sierra, we want you not to feel like a failure, mostly like an epic failure. Enjoy your summer." With that he took a sip of diet coke and scowled.

"In the meantime you will stay in the Ares cabin. Annebeth will show you."

"I would like to see my kids, I'll go too." Ares said following.

Annebeth gestured for me to come with her and I did so. We ran past the volleyball court where a satyr looked over at me and was hit in the head by the ball. His friends laughed. Ares glared at the satyr. I turned away. We walked to a large campfire where cabins were on the outside of. It was shaped in a U with all sorts of cabins.

"This is where we eat." She said pointing to the tables. "See you later." She said running off to a cabin with an owl.

Ares led the way to the cabin I would stay in. It was red and had a bores head on the front. There was rock music blaring and a bunch of tough looking kids. They all saw Ares and came out. He put his arm around me and I could feel his grip. The toughest looking girl came out and noticed Ares and me. She looked at him, then at me. I began to feel uncomfortable.

"This is Serena, she will be staying with you until she finds out who her parent is. Make her feel welcome."

He patted (More like slapped) my back and greeted the others. The tall girl said,

"Who do you think you are?" Her voice tone was harsh. I said,

"I don't really know my parents, but I know who I am. My name's Serena—"

"Yeah, we know who you are. My name's Clarisse, and just for the record, that's my dad." She said catching Ares attention. Ares said,

"How are you holding up? I heard you slew a Minotaur. You know that is not good enough. This girl here just killed a hell hound, and a fury."

I stepped away. I could tell that there were touchy feelings going on. He then gave her a hug and walked off. Clarisse glared, and I smiled. She threw a sleeping bag at my face and then a tall guy walked up.

"You'll be staying on bunk 13." He pointed to a bunk on the bottom to the right. I took my sleeping bag and placed it on the wooden frame.

"It's not the best, but you probably won't stay here long."

Before I could sit down a horn was blown. All the Ares campers walked outside and sat at a long table. Nymphs served food and drinks. The food looked so delicious after going with no food for weeks. Before I took a bite, Clarisse said,

"Hey punk, put some food in the fire. Its an offering to the gods." She stood and sarcastically threw some food into the fire. I did likewise.

"To whoever my mother is." Just then a serene breeze came into camp. A golden glow came through. A tall lady with a perfect tan, javelin and perfect curls came over to me. She transformed and I had to close my eyes.

"My name is Nike Goddess of Victory. I claim Victoria as my only child." She took my hand and sat next to me. She seemed so victorious. I had no idea that she could be so wonderful. Her smile was flawless and her kindness was wonderful. She looked just like me.

"You must know that I have never had a child immortal or mortal. I have waited many years. I am sure you have met Ares. He has been your guardian."

She looked at everyone and they resumed their meal. The Ares children looked at us in wonder. I gave my mother a long lasting embrace. Then she stood, and said,

"I must leave. Succeed in everything you do. Be friends with these people, and win." She let go of my hand and vanished. There was a gold light, and I once again closed my eyes. Everyone was quiet, until an Ares camper clapped me on the back and said,

"Oh, you freak'n have to be on our team for capture the flag!" He said which then made everyone clap.

"Heroes," Chiron said standing. He was much taller, "Training will go as usual. Serena will go with the Ares cabin. There will be a game of capture the flag Thursday evening."

Ares looked over at me, and then spoke to Chiron. Chiron stood, and said,

"This week your battle training will be taught by Lord Ares."

Everyone looked excited, and then a girl with perfect hair said,

"Well, what about Pegasi?"

"The Aphrodite cabin will be an exception. Now we will have music from the Apollo cabin."

Music filled the air and I relaxed. A lot had just happened. I found out my mother was a Greek Goddess, I came to a new home.

After the music was finished I stood and walked to the Ares Cabin.
