A/N: I've got a second chapter already! Please read and review!

2. Reyna

Reyna couldn't believe her bad luck. She'd been searching in vain for Jason. Weeks had passed and the camps greatest leader- and also her boyfriend- was still missing. Gone. Vanished.

Reyna'd had horrible dreams of him. A huge Cyclops, and a fire breathing dragon, and some pretty girl Jason hugged like... like… she couldn't dwell on this. She had other problems.

Now, some creep, demigod or not, had shown up, and she had to make sure Lupa knew. Mortals couldn't pass the boundary line, except for the Chinese food delivery incident. But that was another story.

Reyna led Percy through a dense, tree lined path, the only way to get to Camp Tam. It was named because of the huge mountain, Mount Tamalpais, (A/N: I know I spelled that wrong!) which was right next to them. Reyna's mind flashed with battle scenes- Jason and the rest of her friends fighting the Titan's army… Jason topping the throne and taking a titan down single-handed.

Reyna glanced at Percy. He sort of reminded her of Jason. He walked confidently, relaxed, but unsure of himself. Percy looked really skinny, but had slight muscles. His expression right now was bored- he didn't look like a captive at all, more like someone told him to drop by for party. His bright eyes were as deep as the ocean, and his shaggy, jet black hair contrasted with the gray streak in it. Reyna wondered how he could've gotten that.

Reyna noticed his clothes- well worn jeans, a leather necklace with strange beads on it, and ratty not-so-bright-anymore bright orange t-shirt with the words "Camp Half Blood" printed on it. Reyna had the feeling that something was strange, almost forbidden, about that name. But then she saw something else.

"You said you woke up in the ocean," she accused.

"Yeah?"

"Then why are you clothes dry?" Was he lying? An enemy sent to infiltrate camp?

But instead of looking like he was caught, Percy looked perplexed. "I seriously don't know." He touched his orange shirt. "Where's Camp Half Blood?"

"How should I know?" Reyna fingered her dagger, suspicious.

"So, Percy." There was still about half a mile until camp, so Reyna decided to grill him for answers. "What's your last name?"

Percy was staring at the trees, the bushes and foliage, a wondering look on his face. He seemed deep in thought, fiddling with his necklace. "Huh? Oh, I don't know."

"You don't know?" Reyna sneered. "Well, answer this then. How old are you?"

"Sixteen, I think?"

"Where do you live?"

"I don't know."

"Who're your parents?"

"I don't know."

"For Jupiter's sake, Percy, what do you know?"

Now Percy looked troubled. "Look, I'm sorry I don't- wait. Did you say Jupiter?"

Reyna sighed. Now she would have to explain everything to him.

"Yeah, I said Jupiter. He's the god of the sky-"

"I thought that was Zeus," Percy blurted out.

"What? What're you talking about, demigod? Anyway, Jupiter is a god. You see, Roman gods are real. They used to be in Rome, but they moved along with western civilization. And had kids, called demigods. And now they're here." Reyna figured the PowerPoint would take care of the rest.

Percy stayed silent. He was talking all the information pretty well, and seemed to be processing it. "Where's 'here'?" he finally asked.

"California. LA, to be exact."

Percy froze. He'd stopped walking, and Reyna had to back up a few steps. She looked at him. His eyes were wide open, terrified. He looked like a cornered puppy, like he wanted to bolt any second.

"What's wrong?" Reyna said.

"I can't be here! We have… we have to leave, now!" Percy's voice was panicky and loud.

"Calm down, Percy," Reyna shook his arm. "Come on, we're almost there."

She walked forward. Around them a strange mist had gathered, fogging up everything. Reyna was used to that, and gathered back some stringy green leaves that had been hanging down, revealing that entrance Camp Tam.

"It's time for you to meet Lupa, our camp director."

Enjoy!
