Percy Jackson, and Maximum Ride are regretfully not mine...for now(insert evil laugh) *leaves to go plot*

It turned out that some dude with like a bazillion eyes had driven the small group to find max. Something about such a strong sent that it would be impossible for monsters to not find Max. Max was rather silent the ride to the Camp because she was wondering if they were all crazy, and if she would have to kill them to get away, or if this was all legit. She wasn't sure which idea scared her more. Percy had tried to make small talk, but very little of it was successful.

"Sooo, what's you name anyways?" Percy had started.

"Max, Maximum Ride." She said as she stared out the window anxiously feeling overly trapped in the vehicle.

"Neat name." Percy said with a short nod. "So, you have ADHD, or dyslexia?"

"Never been tested, and would explain a lot, to both." She said still watching the last of the city pass by.

"Most half-bloods are. Have any monsters been after you lately, maybe a Cyclops, or something equally mythical?" Percy asked Max wondering how she had managed to make it so long without any sort of contact with monsters.

"Only the usual." Max told him cryptically.

Any chance of a real conversation after that had been nonexistent at best. The atmosphere in the car was tense and awkward.

When their ride stopped at the top of a hill with a sign for strawberry fields, it confused Max greatly as to why they were at some mere strawberry fields.

She was about to make a witty and sarcastic remark about this when Percy turned to her and said

"Just wait till we get past the boundary."

With a roll of her eyes Max began to follow them up the last bit of the hill. When she past a tall pine tree there seemed to be a shimmer and then she saw more of what she would have expected. There were many cabins, and many kids/teens milling around, most of them had weapons that were obviously not fake, and very dangerous. Some were even sparing with said weapons.

"Ok, I'm impressed." Max said with an ever so slight smile on her lips.

"Percy! Annabeth! Grover! Were you three successful in you venture?" A man that was half horse asked as he galloped up to them.

"Yeah, Max is right here in fact." Grover said as he gestured to Max. She gave the horse man a small wave.

"Oh, yes, of course come we will get you the basic things you will need from the camp store, and then Percy can give you the tour before dinner." The still nameless horseman said to max. "By the way, I am Chiron, and in case you were wondering, yes, I am a centaur." He said as he looked back at Max.
With a shrug Max went with Chiron to get things from the camp store. At the store someone who introduced himself as a child of Hermes tried to convince Max that she could get what she wanted from the camp store and didn't need her backpack anymore and that she should just ditch it. She stared him down until he went running with some lame excuse about being late for archery practice.

Not much else happened, even on the tour of camp with Percy. Max did ask Percy when she would find out who her parent was. He told her that she will be claimed at the latest when they were at the bonfire, because of how it was now mandatory for a parent to claim their child.

It was now dinner time and Max followed Percy to the pavilion and filled up a plate of food. Percy had raised an eyebrow at how much food Max had but didn't say anything.

"So why are people burning their food?" Max asked sarcastically, but truly wanting to know.

"It's a sacrifice to the Gods." Percy told her as he sacrificed some of his food.

With a shrug Max sacrificed some food to the fire and said a silent prayer. 'Well, whoever you are... Uh, yeah, here's some food I guess.' She thought feeling really stupid. She was only a little surprised when instead of smelling burnt food, she smelled the many scents perfectly cooked, and unmingled.

"So, where do I sit?" Max asked looking around and seeing a weird pattern to where people were seated, but not understanding how she fits into the pattern.

"Well, you should sit over at the Hermes cabin," he said as he nodded to the noisy table. "At least until you're claimed." he said.

Just then his eyes flickered to above my head and he stopped walking and was staring with what could only be described as disbelief. His mouth was even hanging open slightly, if I wasn't freaking out about what he was staring at I would be laughing, hard. I then noticed all other conversations had ceased. Even the dude up at the table with Chiron was staring at me.

Max snapped at them after about 30 seconds of the staring, by then her eye was twitching, and she was about ready to throw her plate at someone. "What!" She demanded snapping everyone out of their stares.

"Uh, well... Max, more than one God is trying to claim you. A lot more." Percy said still looking above Max's head.

Max just stared at Percy as her eyebrow rose higher and higher.

"Well, yes, I know I have a claim to her, but how could the others..." mused the other dude from the head table.

Just then the wind picked up, the ground seemed to shake, and the sky began to thunder. The birds, and animals fled the trees, among other small thing happened.

"Alright, Alright, we'll come up and figure this out." The dude shouted at the sky. The man then came down from the table and headed straight for Max. "Alright miss mystery, We are going to go on upstairs, this'll be much quicker than driving all the way so, hold on tight." the man said as he reached out and grabbed Max's arm.

The two of them then just disappeared.
