It was gonna be a long day. Why can't today be like yesterday. Yesterday we had a new camper and two hellhounds, I still don't understand why I'm here. I thought to myself. I looked at Frank, who was looking everywhere, he was on edge from yesterday. His short black hair was shining from the sun, and he had been losing weight so he looked way more intimidating than he used to be. Literally, he could do everything, he could kill the monsters and then get help, all I do is get people when something happens, maybe shoot a few arrows. It made me mad. Bethany go on watch duty with Frank, Bethany go clean up the Apollo cabin, Bethany go and do nothing useful all day. I thought to myself, I hated this. I should have been a target for crying out loud, I had bright red hair and green eyes, people even joked that I was Rachel's sister, so just screw my life! "Hey, calm down, I know you're mad but it's nice to have someone up here with me." Frank told me. God he's so nice, I'm always looking for a reason to hate him, but I can't. He's a grown man but he helps look after some of the campers, everyday he goes to his home to his pregnant wife, literally I can't hate him. "I know, it's just I don't see the point of staying up here, you can do everything." I tell him. "I know, but just get through the day, okay?" Frank tells me with an apologetic look. I just looked out into the woods, I just need to think. "Hey, cheer up, maybe he's good for capture the flag." Frank tells me. "Oh my god you're right, I didn't even think about that." I say excitedly. Frank smiles at me. "There they are now, Chiron is motioning for you now, go over to him, I'll cover for you." Frank tells me. I turn around quickly. "Are you serious?!" I ask him happily. He winks at me and motions for Chiron. I quickly climb off the nest we were in and run over to Chiron. "What do you need Chiron?" I ask quickly. I was breathing heavy because I ran over to him. "Hey Bethany, I need your help." Chiron asks me. "With what, I'll do anything you need." I tell him. I then see someone behind him, it was the kid who came to camp yesterday, but he didn't look scared, he looked surprisingly calm. He was a little tall, really skinny. He had light blue eyes, bright really. But he was wearing a windbreaker and a black beanie. I knew what Chiron wanted me to do. "Can you give him the tour, and also get him a weapon, he's going to be in the games tonight." Chiron told me. Literally everything I was hoping for was shut down, great. "Wait, what games?" He asks him confused. "Bethany will explain everything." Chiron said smiling. He then walked away, leaving me with this newbie. "Umm, hi, I'm Nick, Nick Snow." Nick said holding out his hand, I could tell he was trying to act happy. "I'm Bethany, follow me and I'll show you around." I said. I didn't take his hand, that requires respect.

I lead him up a hill that shows the whole camp. "This is a big hill, do you do this everyday?" Nick asks me from behind. "Why of course, I climb up this freaking hill everyday to see the place I live." I tell him sarcastically. He then goes quiet. But then we finally reach the top of the hill. The view showed the whole camp. "Wow." He says. It was probably all he could get out. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood." I tell him. "This place is huge, am I allowed to live here?!" He asks eyes wide. "Well, yeah, you are a demigod so yeah, or I'm assuming you are." I tell him. "Chiron told me about that." He tells me. "Okay, well you see those colored cabins down there?" I ask him. "Yeah, what are those for?" He asks me. "Those are where you'll be sleeping, they're separated by gods, until you're claimed, you'll be in the Hermes Cabin." I tell him.

Then I showed him everything else, he seemed super excited about it. "Wow, this is great." He said. "Yeah, glad you like it, now we need to get you a weapon and Percy will see how good you are." I tell him. "Percy?" He asks me confused. I forgot he was new, everyone knows Percy. "You'll find out soon, come on, let's get you a weapon." I tell him.

We walk down towards the big weapons building. "It's right over here, come on." I tell him. We walk right in front of the doors. "Those are some big doors." He says looking up. He wasn't wrong, the were 10 feet tall each, and were made of dark wood. This was a fairly new building, it was built two years ago, and it was the size of a warehouse, and it's where a lot of new campers got there weapons. "Just come in, we only have 4 hours until the the games start and we don't even know if you're good with a sword." I tell him agitated. I opened the doors and immediately feel the heat of the forge. It was dark, except for the forge. Noramly it's a lot hotter, but when I was next to Nick, it seemed to be cooler, weird. I looked around and I see it. There was a tall lumbering figure at the forge, working on something, slammin down his hammer repeatedly on a burning piece of metal. "What is that?!" Nick whispers silently. "Calm down wimp." I tell him. "Hey Tyson." I say out loud. He then turns and looks at me, with his one eye. His eye gets wide. "Hey Bethany!" He says as he runs up and gives me a big hug. "Hey big guy, how you doing." I tell him as he lifts me off the ground. He lets go and looks at me. "I'm great, how are you?" He asks me. He had such a high voice for someone who was 6'7, but he was sweet. "I'm fine, but a new camper came yesterday." I tell him. Tyson then see's Nick behind me. "Ugh, hi?" Nick says awkwardly waving. Tyson runs up and hugs him to. "Hi, I'm Tyson, I run the forge, oh it's so very nice to meet you." Tyson says holding him. Nick was off the ground and tapping his shoulders. "Can't...breathe…" Nick mutters. Tyson then puts him down and breathes heavy for a while. He then gets up. "Hi, I'm Nick, Nick Snow." Nick says. I look between the two of them, Tyson was starting to think. "So, we need a favor to ask." I tell him. "I already know, does he have any experience?" Tyson asks in a deeper tone. He might be a happy person, but when it came to making weapons and picking a weapon for someone he was very serious. "No, he's fresh."I tell him. "Hmm, I'm thinking a sword, yeah, I have a good one right now, but just temporarily." Tyson says. "A sword, sounds fun." Nick says. Tyson walks over to a box with a lot of weapons in it and starts to dig through it. "He makes all the weapons here?" Nick asks me. "Yeah, he makes a lot of them, but the Hephaestus kids make some of them." I told him. Tyson then pulls out a sword and walks back over to us. "Here." Tyson says as he hands the sword to Nick. It was three feet long with a simple design. Nick takes it and feels it. But it falls out of his hand right when he grabs it. "Stupid." I mutter under my breath. "I think I have another one." Tyson says. Nick then quickly picks it up. "No, it's fine, I like it, thanks Tyson." Nick says. It was obvious that he didn't like it, but he was holding it alright. Tyson gets a smile. "No problem, if it ever does something weird or you need it sharpen just come to my forge or forger nine, or if you need anyone to talk to, I'm here, but are you sure you don't want a smaller blade?" Tyson asks him. "Yes, I'm sure, this is fine." Nick tells him. Tyson shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, well bye bye big guy, I'll visit you during lunch tomorrow." I tell him as we walk away. We then step out and head to the coliseum.

"So he's a cyclops?" Nick asks me. "Yeah, he's actually Percy's brother, but don't make fun of Tyson because he's a cyclops, we don't do that." I tell him seriously. "Okay, but is Percy a cyclops?" He asks me. I was irritated with him, he asked so many questions. "You ask to much, you'll meet him in like thirty seconds." I tell him. "Okay look, I don't know what your problem is with me but I didn't do anything to you, so could you chill out." Nick tells me frustrated. Was he mad at me right now, was he seriously mad at me. "Listen here, I have to show you everything here, you think I want to do that, I just want to practice my archery skills, so you need to chill out!" I yelled at him. Nick opened his mouth, but nothing came out, he just got behind me and didn't say anything. Good, I won this, so maybe he'll stop asking so many questions.

I bring him to the coliseum. The big entrance was empty, which meant Percy didn't any private lessons right now. I walked in and saw Percy setting up dummies. "Percy, over here, we got someone." I tell him. He turns around and looks at me. "Hey Bethany, and hey, you?" Percy says puzzled. "It's Nick." Nick says walking up in front of Percy. He had on jeans and a orange camp shirt, he also had that watch of his and I could see his pen in his pocket, and his necklace that had all his quests on it. Percy sticks out his hand and Nick takes it. "I'm Percy, Percy Jackson." He says with a smile. "Nick, Nick Snow."Nick tells him. "Alright, let's cut to the chase, draw your sword, let's see where you're at as far as skills go." Percy tells him. Nick draws his sword, but he clearly didn't like it, but he was trying, it honestly looked wobbly. "So, do you have a sword?" Nick asks him. "Yeah, it's right here." Percy says taking out Riptide in pen form. "That's a p..you know what, nevermind, it magic or something." Nick says rolling his eyes. Percy smirks, he then uncaps Riptide and it becomes a sword. Nick is stunned for a moment for, but then just accepts it. "Alright, attack me." Percy tells him. Nick looks at him weird for a moment, but then he lunges forward and ries to cut his arm but Percy dodges it. "Come on, more speed, again." Percy says. Nick attacks again but Percy moves to the side. "Come on, you're making this to easy." Percy says with a smirk. Then Nick goes to strike his leg but then quickly moves his arm up for a surprise attack. Percy quickly blocked it with his sword. Percy looked surprised. "Wow, you caught me off guard there, you can put your sword away." Percy says. "So is he good for the games?" I ask him. "He should be, but we'll see, I have a lesson to do soon, you guys better head out, and see my later, I want to see what else you can do." Percy says looking at Nick. "Sweet, so Nick, get to the Hermes cabin and change, we have the games coming up soon." I tell him.
