Since I got such a good number of reviews (I almost did the Carmeldancin thingy when I saw that I got 4 reviews!) Normally, I'll get 1 review each chapter…it's not that much fun.

I think I'll pair Anneliese up with Pollux. Someone told me that…(wink, wink)

And, yes, to 'pierulestheworld' (I really have no clue how he/she came with the name…) you may create a person.

Now you may read the story…no, wait!

DISCLAIMER: I just putting it here so those…those…people don't destroy my story…

Now you may read…

Chapter 2: That Girl…Might Be Insane…

Nico's POV (just for a minute…)

That girl had clouded my mind, like when my sister died and all I could think about was her. But, from my point of view (A/N and it very much is, at least 4 now: P) Pollux had gotten to her, so what's the point? I could never get the girl…ever…damn, I sound cliché.

Anneliese's POV

I walked down to the pavilion and met Pollux there. He waved, and I waved back a little more enthusiastic then I should have. I sat down at my table, and put some food on my plate. It looked amazing, but I longed for the food from California, where I lived until my family dragged me across the state. Sushi sounds good, only I have the weirdest feeling they don't serve sushi for breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner.

Then, I remembered the offering to the gods thing, so I got up, and went to the back of the line. Sadly, I came almost dead last, expect for two others that came really early in the morning. Early as in 'could almost be said as really, really late at night' A girl and a boy, one with sandy blonde hair, and bright blue eyes them seemed to be happy, not surprised and confused like I was.

The girl standing next to him innocent emerald green eyes, and wavy brown hair, that reached the middle of her back. She forced a smile, though I could tell she was still dazed from what happened.

"Hello, I'm Shane." The boy said. I could sense just a slight Southern Accent in his voice.

"Anneliese." I replied.

"I'm Lydia." The girl said.

"Who are you a daughter of?" I asked.

"I'm a daughter of- Oh, look, a bird- Demeter."

"Sorry about my spazoid friend over here. I'm a son of Apollo."

"I'm a daughter of Athena."

"Impressive. Oh, I see the bird now!" He said, looking in the other direction. Stupid ADD…

I slid part of my food into the fire, and I expected to smell something horrible.

Instead, I smelt the best thing I ever smelled…

It smelled like autumn. And by that, I mean pumpkin pie, baking in the oven, the warm smell of cinnamon…

It also smelt like winter, like candy canes and spiced apple cider.

And it smelled like spring, the smell of freesia, and roses, and violets, and many other flowers I couldn't name…

And summer, the smell of cool, fresh watermelon, and the smell of chlorine by the pool…

All the smells shouldn't go together well, but they did. Screw the mushrooms; I want to get high off this stuff…

I went and sat down at my table, and ate in silence, wishing I had a cup of coffee right now…

I trained for the rest of the day. I tried archery…let's just say I didn't get the bulls-eye, but I got a bulls-eye. So, they decided not to put any more lives in danger and teach me how to use a sword.

I had trouble finding a balanced sword. They were either too light or too heavy. I found a sword, hidden away from the others. On one side it was cestraiel bronze, on the other it was steel…

There seemed to be a conflicting feeling in it, like both sides were fighting each other. This sword could kill both mortals and monsters. Why would you need that? It was the only one that felt right in my hand, so, I tried to use it on one of the dummies.

"Wow. You're better at it then I thought." One of the counselors said. "Wait, it that…where did you find it?" He asked, surprise in his voice.

"Over there, behind the weapon rack. It was hidden."

"We've been trying to find this…do you know who this belonged to? Oh, I need to show Chiron…"

"Why? Who owned that sword?" I asked. He sighed, and told the truth.

"In the war between the Titans and the Gods, how do you think Kronos rose from Tarturus? He used the body of a guy named Luke…he's dead now, but this was his sword, or used to be. Its name is Backbiter."

"So can I use it or not?"

"I don't see the harm." He said, walked to a dummy. "Let' s give it a try."

He taught me how to block an attack, and how to see if their defense dropped anywhere. He also tried to teach me a disarming move, but I failed. "You're pretty good for a first-timer. Keep the sword with you all the time."

"Yes, sir."

"Don't call me 'Sir' it makes me feel old. Call me John."

"Well, John, thank you." I said, and walked out of the arena. That had to be the most fun part of the day…that was before I met Pollux by the beach at sunset. He was sitting on where on the waves missed him but only an inch. I went and sat by him.

"How was the first day?" He asked.

"Ok. I'm pretty good at sword fighting...in fact, I got this sword." I pulled it out. His eyes widened.

"Wow! Where'd you find that sword?"

"Hidden. I have no clue why."

"It just, that was Luke's sword…"

"I know. He told me."

"We'll have to show Chiron that."

"Do we have to?"

"No. At least, not right now." He stared into my eyes and leaned closer.

You know when you have a kiss, there's some sort of weird attraction that just seems to pull you towards it? Don't ask me how it works, because my answer would be 'The little elves make us do it' but now I'm beginning to think it was Aphrodite. That's my guess.

My face was an inch from his when a large wave tumbled over us.

"Ack! Damn it!" I said. The water was cold, and made me shiver. Pollux was soaked too, if not worse. He began to cough, but it seemed to be laughter in it.

"Water went up my nose." He said. I laughed. He smiled too, but he looked a bit more interested in the clothes that were clinging to my body, and was slightly see-through. Well, he's a guy, what can you expect?

Pollux's POV

If a guy doesn't get to see her naked, he'd see her fully clothed, but soaking wet. I'm not that kind of guy, but still, I am a guy, so I'm obligated to enjoy it. Her clothes, her Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and already tight black leggings, wrapped around every curve, and clung to her. I snapped out of it, though, and stood up.

"Let's get some dry clothes on." I said. I offered a hand to help her up, and walked her to her cabin. I saw the sun setting off in the distance, sinking below the horizon. "Well, bye." I said. "See you later." I started to walk off, but her hand caught the neck of my shirt.

"Where do you think you're going?" She said, and pulled my to her lips. It lasted only a second, one mind-blowing second, and she pulled away.

"Would you be embarrassed if I told you that was my first kiss?" I asked. She laughed.

"Gods, no. I'll see you later, Pollux." She said, stepping inside her cabin. I smiled at her as she closed the door. I sighed contently, and walked back to my cabin in shock.

As I laid my head on my pillow, it occurred to me that I just had my first kiss…

I…had…my…first…kiss…

Wow…I kept saying it in my head over and over again. Wow…

"Pollux?" I jumped. I turned and saw my father, Dionysus, standing right there.

"Dad?" I asked, a little surprised about him being in there. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Well, now that you've kissed a girl, I think it's time we had the talk. I was planning on it being much, much sooner, but sadly, you aren't like Castor who had his first kiss at 6…with that slutty Aphrodite girl, anyway, when a boy and a girl love each other very much-"

"Dad. I know about sex."

"Do not interrupt a god when he's speaking. Anyway, when a boy and a girl love each other very much, they lay down and-you know, I forgot that speech. Go on and stay in school, rah rah! All that stuff…" He disappeared. I hate it when he disappears like that.

I sighed, rolled over in my bed, and went to sleep.

Well, was it ok?

Trust me, they'll be more about the new campers soon…

R&R Please?
