They had played four rounds of War, two games of James Bond, one long, long, game of Spit, and a game of Egyptian Ret Race (not that it seemed to have anything to do with Egyptians). Nico had told Will that he would watch the girl, and Will had fallen into sleep.

Nico got a good look at the girl. While she slept she breathed lightly. Her eyelids fluttered every few minutes. He could feel her faint pulse. Like a small butterfly. He dropped his hand from her wrist. Her cuts were healing nicely but a bruise had matured on her left hand and her jaw. He glanced at her arms with the strange tattoos. They were beautiful black swirls coming from her shoulders—that was where her shirtsleeve ended—and going down to her wrists. One of the swirls curled around her neck and into the front of her shirt.

The girl didn't smell as bad anymore. At first she had smelled like… like the Underworld. A smell he knew only too well. He'd known that that wasn't good considering she was alive. Maybe she had been there recently. Nico thought it might be good to ask someone about her. Most anyone who came into the Underworld was well, dead, this girl wasn't. Meaning someone would have noticed her. Her smell had been so pungent and the smell reaching him had been so sudden that he had screamed out, and scrambled backward, away from her. His voice had been heavy, and his eyes had watered from the smell. The only place to have a smell that bad was Tartarus. Nico shivered.

Then her pulse started to speed up. Nico frowned and then the girl started to shake. Nico had no clue how to deal with this.

"Uh Will?" Nico said, trying to wake the sleeping boy up. "Will? Will?" Nico prodded Will with is finger until he woke up.

"What?" He asked groggily. He brushed his wild blond hair out of his eyes. Butterflies annoyingly flapped about Nico's stomach.

"She's shaking. Is that normal?" Nico asked. Will was fully awake and he started assessing the girl.

"What time is it? How long have I been asleep?" Will asked.

Nico looked for a clock. 11:00. He told Will so. Will was humming a tune that made Nico a little sleepy. It was also calming down the girl, and she had stopped shaking.

Then her eyes opened. She sat up and Will stopped humming.

"Where am I? Who are you?" She asked frantically.

"I'm like a doctor. We aren't here to hurt you. We're here to make sure you're ok." Will said calmingly.

The girl took a breath, and nodded.

"What's your name?" He asked. "Nico can you find me a flashlight." Will ordered instead of asked. Nico handed him one that he spied on a utilities tray.

The girl's eyes narrowed like she was trying to remember something. Then they widened and she became afraid. "I don't know."

"What don't you know?" Will asked.

"I don't know my name. I don't know who I am." Her voice raised and she started to freak out. "What's going on? I can't remember anything! Who am I? Where am I?" Her eyes started to fill with tears.

"It's ok. It's ok." Will said hastily trying to calm her. Will turned to Nico. "Hurry, get Chiron."

Nico started running. He ran to the Big House and rapped on the door until Chiron came out, tail in rollers. Nico didn't judge.

"She's awake. And she can't remember anything." Nico said before Chiron could get a word out.

Chiron raised an eyebrow. "Can't wait until morning?"

"She's freaking out." Nico answered. Chiron nodded, and uncurled his rollers. They made their way back to the infirmary. The girl was shivering while Will rubbed her back talking to her softly. Will noticed the two and scooted away from the girl.

The girl squealed. "What are you?" She said scared.

"It's alright. He's ok. You'll be fine. He's here to help." Will reassured her. Nico crossed his arms over his chest.

Chiron bent down at the waist. "My name is Chiron."

"You're a horse!" She cried.

"Half horse. I'm a centaur. Half horse half man. Do you know who you are?"

"No." She said quietly. "My head hurts and my foot hurts and-"

Will frowned. "You didn't tell me that your foot hurt." He said. He knelt and removed her shoes. On her left foot was a long swollen and yellow gash. Her sock was wet, probably pus or something. Will turned to Chiron.

"Can you get me some Ambrosia?" He asked.

Suddenly the girl started violently shaking her head. Her hands clasped around her ears. She looked younger when she made the gestures. "No! No godly foods!" She cried.

The three turned to her. "What?"

"I can't. I can't eat that. Bad food. Not healthy." She said. She groaned. "My head hurts."

"So no Ambrosia. What about Nectar?"

"No godly foods." She repeated.

Will started humming and grabbed some bandages and antibiotics. He cleaned her foot and started wrapping bandages.

"Where did your tattoos come from?" Nico asked.

The girl looked at her tattoos. She fingered a black swirl that went up her arm. "I don't know. I don't remember getting it. That's not something you forget, right?" She asked Nico.

Nico shrugged. "Dunno. Never had a tattoo, but it looks painful."

"I don't remember." She said.

"Done." Will announced. "You might be wobbily when you walk for a day or two though."

The girl frowned. "What's Ambrosia? What's Nectar?" She asked.

"You just said you didn't want any." Chiron said gently. "But you don't know what it is?"

"My head hurts." She replied. "No. I have a…bad feeling. Not for eating. But I can't remember why or what it is."

"You said its godly food. Do you know what that means?"

"Food for gods?" She suggested.

"It's food for the gods. But for the Greek gods." Chiron supplied.

"Greek-Greek gods?"

"Yes. Apollo, Hades, Zeus, they're all real. And this is their food."

"It's like, it's like I fell into a wonderland." She said, awe full. Then she bit her lip. "Um, who are those people you just named?"

"They're Greek gods, Alice. Apollo is my dad, he's the god of the sun and-" Will started.

"Music." The girl said.

"What?"

"Music, sun and healing. Who's Alice?" She asked.

"I just-" Will blinked surprised. "I just thought it was an appropriate name. I mean, you just called us a Wonderland so…"

"I like it." She said. "Alice. I like it." Alice repeated. "You said he's your dad. Does that mean you're part god?"

"Yes. I'm called a demigod or a half-blood."

"You're half Greek god. The Greek god you're half of is Apollo, the god of the sun, music, healing. Ok. Sure why not." Alice said. She seemed to be taking this very well. She turned to Chiron.

"I don't know much about what's happening. I remember…" She frowned. "A large storm. A storm that was hurting… um…" She closed her eyes thinking. "New York? Right? Bad storm. I remember the names of things, I remember places and dates. I remember when the Magna Carta was signed, and I know who King Tut was. But I can't remember my real name, or my favorite food, or my allergies if I have any, or my favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle! I don't even know how I know that. Can you help me?" She asked Chiron. Her eyes full of hope. Nico bit his lip and looked away. He wanted to help Alice, but he didn't think that this was going to end well.

Chiron, a centaur who would never turn anyone who needed help down, smiled gently, and took her hand calmingly.

"We would love to help. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood Alice." He said. She jumped to her feet to hug him, but then screamed because of her foot, and Will and Nico helped her sit back down on the bed.

"Sleep tonight, tomorrow we will figure the rest out." Chiron said. Alice nodded. She lay in the bed, and she turned to Will.

"Please stay. I-I don't want to wake up and not remember anything again." She asked Will. Will nodded, and sat next to her. He gave her his hand, and she fell asleep.

"Ok." He said. Nico crossed his arms, and a small feeling of envy curdled in his stomach.

"I'll stay here too." Nico offered. Chiron nodded, and left. Nico sat next to Will, and Will fell asleep too, leaving Nico awake until the morning.
