They showed me around the camp the first stop was the arena were I saw some campers fighting.

"No one dies here right?" I gulped, looking up at Connor.

"Not recently no." He smiled.

We continued on the tour, they showed me the arts and crafts pavilion which I was excited to try, volley-ball courts and finally the cabins.

"So exactly what are the cabins for?" I asked raising my eyebrow at Connor who was on my right.

"Well you already know that one of your parents is a God right?" He asked looking down at me shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah, my father." I nodded.

"Okay well once you're claimed by your father, you will live in one of the cabins. Each represent a cabin for the Gods or Goddesses. You'll obviously be in one of the cabins built for the Gods." Connor, Travis and I walked around the open area where all the cabins faced.

"Where will I stay until and if I get claimed?" I asked a little saddened, what if my father never claims me?

"With us-" Travis started before he got cut off.

"In the Hermes cabin were all the newbies stay." Connor finished smirking at his taller brother.

"Wait isn't Hermes the God of thieves?" I gulped warily looking up at the smirking brothers.

"Steffy here knows her Greek mythology." Travis laughed as I glared at him when he called me 'Steffy'.

"But yes God of thieves but don't worry we won't steal anything from you.." He drifted off. "Yet." He said winking.

Shouts and screams of rage rang through the spring air growing louder with every second that went by. The Stolls looked at each other eyes widening.

"Hey Steffy you're very agile looking, can you run fast?" Connor asked me urgently.

"Uh I am decent wait why?" I asked dumfounded.

"Just follow us and run!" Travis yelled urgently.

I saw a group of campers, very well-built campers running in our direction holding weapons. Not wanting to mess with them I ran following Travis and Connor. We ran until we reached what I've come to know as 'Firework's Beach'. I wheezed as I sat down in the sand, carrying a heavy backpack and bow while running isn't a walk in the park specially since my quiver was still connected to my waist.

Once I couldn't hear anymore shouts I dropped my bag in the sand along with the bow and fell back into the sand trying to catch my breath.

"Why on Earth was I just running for my life?" I basically screamed standing up and storming over to an out of breath Connor.

"Well-" Connor started.

"You see, we pranked the Ares cabin and well they probably want revenge." Travis said rubbing the back of his neck.

"You know what, I'm going to go find Annabeth I am not! I repeat not! Hanging out with anyone who has people seeking revenge on them." I proudly stated proceeding to collect my belongings.

"Hey it was a harmless prank, we just stole a few of their prized possessions and switched them with some smoke-filled stuff." Connor innocently replied.

"Are people going to hate me too if I befriend you baboons?" I replied putting my hands on my hips and looking at them.

"Oh ouch Steffy and here I thought this tour brought us close together and you wouldn't care what others said if you hung out with us." Travis replied dramatically.

I rolled my eyes and continued walking away grabbing my stuff as I go.

"Where are you going?" Connor yelled after me.

"I'd like to see where I'll be sleeping until I get 'claimed'." I turned around telling them putting air quotes on the word claimed.

Connor and Travis ran up beside me. "Right this way your highness." Connor dramatically said bowing, using one hand to gesture towards the path.

"You guys are so dramatic." I laughed lightly pushing Connor's shoulder.

"Coming from the girl in the ye old dress." Travis smirked pointing at the purple dress.

"1. It's Rapunzel's dress. 2. You don't have much time to change when you're being dragged out of your house then attacked by a harpy!" I yelled, the boys just stood there laughing at me.

"Gesundheit and we can score you some camp clothes no problem." Connor smirked.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" I groaned.

"Just c'mon we'll show you where you'll be staying." Travis said grabbing my wrist and dragging me along the path, Connor following suit.

We all finally walked back to the many cabins, I looked around at them all. They were all so different, some had marble pillars, others had a beachy look to it and one looked as if it was solid gold.

"Wow.." I breathed taking it all in statues surrounded the cabins and a large fire was in the middle of it all. The flames licked the cool spring air. "Are we in one of the marble ones?" I asked excitedly pointing at the marble pillared cabin.

"Uh, no that's Zeus'. We're in this one." Travis stated walking up to a chipped brown cabin. It looks like it has not been cared for in years.

Travis was already in the cabin, but I just stood there. I'm going to be sharing a cabin with a bunch of pranksters and thieves... Oh lordy this shall be interesting. Connor was climbing the stairs but stopped mid-way. He looked at me his eyes staring me down.

"Well are you coming in or?" He asked folding his arms and leaning against the railing.

"Hmm let's see, do I want to bunk with some thieves and pranksters?" I questioned smirking at him.

"Aw come on I'll make sure the big mean Hermes kids won't hurt you." Connor said in a mock baby tone as he walked over to me.

I huffed and began to walk towards the cabin carrying all myself. I brushed by Connor as I walked up the steps of the cabin and opened the door. Total mayhem was what I saw, it was also pretty crowded. Connor came up beside me giving a reassuring squeeze on my shoulder.

"Hey guys! Listen up this is Stefani! She is a new camper-" Connor was cut off.

"Really? She looks 16 aren't they supposed to be claimed by now?" One of the Hermes' kids groaned.

"Hey listen she'll be staying here until she is claimed, which will probably be tonight. So don't get your knickers in a twist." Travis laughed walking over to the complaining cabin mate.

"C'mon Steffy I'll show you were you can put your stuff and might be sleeping." Connor smiled down at me as he walked through the mayhem of the cabin.

I followed behind him trying to make sure no one stole anything from me. He finally lead me to the back were there wasn't many campers, still a few tho. Bunk beds lined the walls of the cabin. He walked over to one of the bunk beds on the right wall.

"You can put your stuff here-" He said pointing to a bottom bunk. "Your stuff probably won't be stolen but just be careful. Dinner will be soon, so I'll go find you some camp shirts." He smiled.

"Thanks." I smiled back as I began to put my stuff on the bottom bunk. Connor turned around and began to walk out of the cabin.

"Hello!" A small voiced chirped above me startling me.

I looked up to see a girl maybe about 9. She had what I presumed the typical Hermes traits. She had upturned eyebrows, as well as a petite upturned nose that was dusted in freckles much like myself. Her dark blue eyes sparkled with a childish glint. Her hair was in brown curly pig tails, her smile lit up her whole face.

"Sorry I didn't mean to startle you." The little girl apologized. "My name is Shannon."

"Oh it's okay." I smiled back. "And what a pretty name."

"What's your name?" She curiously asked.

"Stefani." I said looking up at the little girl.

"Oh my that's very pretty." She giggled. "Are you a new Hermes kid? Or are you unclaimed."

"I'm unclaimed." I smiled weakly.

"Oh..." She looked down sadly, she started to climb down the little stairs attached to the bunk bed and hoped right on mine. "Stefani?"

"Yeah Shannon?'' I asked now getting a full look of the little girl who wore an orange t-shirt with Camp Half-Blood written on it and a knee-length black skirt.

"May I braid your hair?" She asked her eyes sparkling.

"Uh sure if you can tame this curly mess.'' I laughed pointing at my long messy curls.

"Yay!" The little girl cried, I kneeled on the floor as she began to braid my hair.

After some tugging and pulling of my black hair, I heard someone's voice behind me.

"Making new friends I see?" Connor smirked, he held some orange t-shirts in his hands. "Here." He said placing the shirts in my hands.

I raised my eyebrow at him. "Did you steal these?" I questioned looking up at him as Shannon kept braiding my hair.

"Only some of them!" He innocently said, my eyebrow arched even more. "Okay fine all of them.."

"Thanks anyway Connor." I smiled at him.

"There done!" Shannon proclaimed tying the end of my braid with a blue rubber band.

"Thanks Shannon." I smiled getting up and looking over at the little girl. "Hey could you show me where the bathrooms are?" I asked her.

"Sure!" The little girl exclaimed, I quickly grabbed one of the shirts and pairs of shorts that were in my backpack.

Shannon grabbed my hand and began to lead my to the bathrooms. Shannon and I walked through the mayhem in the camp and outside to the bathrooms. Once inside I walked into one of the stalls and quickly changed into the pair of dark washed denim shorts and the camp shirt. Grabbing my now dirty dress and flinging it over my arm. I walked out of the stall and walked over to the mirrors above the sink.

I looked at my now braided hair and it actually looked nice. The braid was long and reached just past my shoulder blades. Tiny wisps of curls formed by my ears, my side swept bangs slightly apart of the braid as well.

Oh my do I ever have a lot of hair I thought.

"Stefani!" I heard Shannon's voice call.

"Yeah?" I asked as I noticed her tiny form running towards me.

"Look what I found to put in your hair!" The little girl smiled holding up the blue and purple flowers.

"They're lovely, do you want to put them in my hair?" I asked bending down to her level.

Shannon nodded excitedly and began to place the flowers in the braid. Once finished I stood up again.

"We better get back to the cabin before Connor gets mad c'mon." I said reaching for her hand.

We walked back to the paint chipped cabin and walked right back into mayhem. Shannon let go of my hand and ran to our beds. I laughed after the little girl. Once I reached my bed I folded up my dress and shoved it into my bag.

I was about to turn around, but walked into a wall of human flesh instead, knocking me over.

"Oh crap sorry Steffy." Connor apologized reaching and arm out to help me up, I gratefully took it as he pulled me up.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

"Campers line up it's time for dinner!" I heard Travis' voice ring out through the noisy cabin. The whole cabin became silent as they got in a line but the chatter soon arose again.

Shannon grabbed my hand again and led me to the line, Connor on my heels. The Hermes and unclaimed kids began to head out of the cabin and into the dimly lit sky as we walked to the dinning pavilion.
