Chapter 2: Camp Half-Blood

Percy wished that his sister had agreed to come with him to Camp Half-Blood. Even though they had only known each other for about 5 years, they were very close. She had told him that she didn't want to go because she wouldn't fit in. Her exact words were, "I'm not going. I'm not going to fit in because I'm a legacy, of Hecate too, and my patron is Hestia. I'd be stuck in the Hermes cabin, like Mama was." He had to admit, she had good logic. He sighed and continued to trudge down the road that led to Camp Half-Blood.

"Why do I have to walk again?" Percy muttered under his breath. He continued walking, a giant pine tree coming into view. He stopped about 5 yards from the tree. 'Okay,' he thought, 'Aunt Hera said that the tree is her husband's demigod daughter, Thalia, and that the tree is the edge of the boundaries of the camp. Once I walk past them, I'm subject to the rules of the camp… and the rules my family gave me.' He pulled out a piece of paper and stared at the rules from his family.

Rule 1: You don't know who your dad is, though you do know about the gods. (from Mom)

Rule 2: Remember your training. It might save you in the long run. (from Dad)

Rule 3: Don't call me sister if they aren't aware of your adoption. I'm just a "friend". (from Alice)

Rule 4: You shall go by Percy Jackson, for most monsters don't know about your adoption. (from Hestia)

Rule 5: Try your best not to anger the gods. Poseidon, Hestia, and I will protect you as best as we can from the wrath of the counsel. (from Hera)

He sighed as he put the paper away and continued walking towards the camp. As he passed through the boundaries, he saw a centaur approaching him. He figured it was Chiron. According to Hestia, his patron had told Chiron of his arrival.

"Hello, Perseus Sethia-Jackson," Chiron said as he reached the 12-year-old demigod. Percy bowed his head to Chiron.

"It's just Percy Jackson for now," he replied as Chiron gestured for him to follow him. Percy walked next to Chiron as he led the way to the Big House, the large farmhouse.

"Your sister's patron explained your situation to me. If you want to talk to her, she can be seen tending to the fire every now and then," Chiron said as he opened the door to the Big House. Percy went in first followed by Chiron, who closed the door.

"Thank you, Chiron. I'm guessing you're going to a have a demigod show me around, and then I'm to head towards the Hermes cabin," Percy commented as he leaned up against a wall.

"Correct. She should be here in a minute or so."

"Again, thank you, Chiron." Then, there came a knock at the Big House's front door. The door opened to show a girl around Percy's age with blonde hair, tan skin, and storm gray eyes.

"Hi, I'm Annabeth Chase," she said, "Come along. I'm supposed to show you around the camp." Percy nodded to her, waved goodbye to Chiron, and followed her out the door.

"I'm Percy. Percy Jackson," he said to her as he closed the door. She smiled at him, and then she started his tour of Camp Half-Blood.

-I'm a Line Break-

"And this is the Hermes cabin, where you will be staying until you are claimed," Annabeth said, finishing the tour of camp.

"Thank you for the tour, Annabeth," he said. She smiled at him before opening the door to the Hermes cabin.

"We have a new camper here, Percy Jackson," she called into the crowded cabin. The people in there stopped to look at him.

"Hi," he said, waving his hand. One of the older campers stepped closer to him and looked him up and down.

"Regular or undetermined?" he questioned Annabeth, who blushed lightly. Percy raised an eyebrow at that.

"Undetermined," was her reply, which caused about half the cabin to groan. Suddenly, Percy understood exactly why Alice didn't want to come to camp.

"Okay. Percy, you can have this spot on the floor," the camper said, pointing to a spot on the floor. Percy assumed that this person must be the cabin counselor, seeing as he was college age, and he was calling the shots. Percy put his backpack down on the spot before turning to the rest of the cabin.

"Hermes is the god of thieves, right?" he asked, getting a nod in response, "Okay. If I find anything missing or anything out of place, I will find you and make sure that you don't do it again." His threat was carried out with an evil glare on his face. The campers who were obviously Hermes's kids shuddered with fright. The cabin counselor smiled at him and stuck his arm out.

"I'm Luke Castellan," the counselor said, "Nice job with my siblings. They would have had fun searching through your bag for valuables if you hadn't scared them." Percy took his hand a shook it with a shrug.

"I heard that Hermes was the god of thieves, and I like my stuff where I can find it," Percy replied. After that, Annabeth dragged him out of the Hermes cabin.

"That was well played, Percy," she said with a smile on her face. Percy shrugged again.

"One of my friends liked going through my stuff, so I have experience with people like that." Annabeth raised an eyebrow at that.

"What? It's true!" Annabeth laughed at that, causing Percy to smile. "Does the camp have any fun activities to do besides the classes we take?" he asked her.

"We play capture the flag every Friday. It's Athena vs. Ares this week, and Hermes has already teamed up with Athena, so we will be working together during the game," Annabeth said as they walked towards the lake.

"That should be fun," he said as he waved to the naiads at the bottom of the lake.

"You should be aware of the fact that naiads are terrible flirts," she commented as one of the naiads giggled and waved back.

"I figured, but I'm only 12. I'm not interested in any relationship right now," he replied as a conch shell blew in the distance. "Dinner?" he asked.

"Yes, dinner."

-I'm a Line Break-

Percy curled up in the sleeping bag Luke had stolen for him. He was writing a letter to his sister about his first day at camp. He told her about the tour, Annabeth the daughter of Athena, sacrificing his dinner to his patron and his dad, and his excitement about the game of capture the flag scheduled for Friday. At first, he didn't want to write to Alice about Annabeth, for he was worried that she would tease him about trying to get a girlfriend, but then he decided he would tell her anyways. He would live with her teasing like he always had. After he finished the letter, he rolled over and fell asleep.

Woot! Chapter 2 is out!

In this story, Percy doesn't face the minotaur until the 5th book. Also, he never went to the school from the beginning of the first book. Grover will come into play, but his role isn't as big as it was in the book.

Do you see what I mean by the fact that parts are skipped? The dinner basically happened the same way it did in the book, so I didn't bother writing it.
