1974

My ears started to pick out sounds, waves seagulls making their cry. I smelt salt air, and clean sheets, I open my eyes at once and had to close them again because of the bright light. I slowly open then again to see wooden poles; I look to my right and left to see beds. The base were made of wood at were holding up the bedding. A few of the beds were taken by kids ranging from age 12 to 20. There were other kids well mostly teenagers were treating a few kids; the kid was sleeping peaceful next to me.

"Good to see you're up and alive." I heard Gabe voice.

I shoot up to see Gabe smiling at me; he was wearing jeans with bright orange t-shirt with camp half blood written on it. He had leather wrist cuffs, a sword attached on his hip. His feet were covered by leather boots.

"Where I am?" I asked.

"The Infirmary," Gabe said. "You're been out for three day."

"Great," I said then remember my mom was killed tears were forming in my eyes. "My mom is dead."

"I know it hard, but she in a better place." Gabe said.

"Yeah I guess." I muttered standing up.

"Come on I'll show you around camp and take you to Chiron." Gabe said

I follow Gabe out of the building, he offered me my coat. I nodded my head in thanks pulling the coat on, we started to walk. This place amazed me, it look like people bought Greek building and bought them here. The thing at shock me was how it look so new, you could see an amphitheater sparking from the winter sun, I could see a massive rock wall with red lava slipping down it started to shake we were still walking.

"Well this is camp half blood." Gabe said.

"Half what?" I asked. "And if you mean half god you're lying."

"Well the gods are alive and this whole place proves it," Gabe said. "You have dyslexia and ADHD right?"

"Yes I do," I said. "What's does that have to deal with it?"

"For us Demigods there our greatest gifts," Gabe said. "Our brain is hardwired for ancient Greek, not English and ADHD it are natural battle reflexes."

"This can't be right it dream." I said.

"I'm sorry it not a dream," Gabe said. "Chiron will help make everything understand."

We kept walking; we reached the large farm house. That I remember from earlier, there was the Centaur from earlier. He was smiling sadly at us.

"Chiron this is Alexis." Gabe said.

"You know the truth about what you are Alexis?" Chiron asked.

"Yes sir I understand but this is still a lot to understand," I said. "Please call me Alex."

"Understood Alex" Chiron said. "You're going to be staying in the cabin 11, Gabe could you please bring her there."

"Sure Chiron," Gabe said. "Come on Alex."

I kept up with Gabe, as we walked down from the big farm house. I could see more there a large Pavilion, but in front of us were about twelve cabins with trees around them offering shade in the summer and right by the lake, which had a bronzed number on them it formed a large U odd's on the lefts and evens on the right. The two one in the center looks like a marble white box, with white heavy columns in the front. This cabin is the biggest and bulkiest of all the cabins. It has polished bronze doors that shimmer like a hologram, and have lightning bolts streaked down them, while the other in the center look similar to the first one is made out of marble, and is shaped like a box with slimmer white columns, garlanded with pomegranates and flowers the walls are carved with the images of peacocks. Cabin five painted a bright red with barbed wire on the roof and a stuffed boar's head on the doorway, the eyes of the boar seems to stare at whoever is walking by.

"Well what with cabins?" I asked.

"It shown who cabins is who's," Gabe said. "One and two are for Zeus and Hera."

"I get it," I said. "Then cabin five is Ares right?"

"Yup," Gabe said. "Then which one is Hephaestus cabin?"

"Let me guess number nine." I said.

"Yes." Gabe said.

"Then who's you're god parent?" I asked.

"Hephaestus," Gabe said. "This sword I made myself."

"Ok," I said. "This is still a lot to handle you know."

"I was the same way when I first got here." Gabe said.

"Thanks" I said.

"No problem," Gabe said. "Let get you to cabin 11."

We started to walk towards the cabin number 11 It's had dull brown paint is chipped off and there is a caduceus overhanging the door. As we went in there rows of bunk beds they were also sleeping bag on ground and about thirty or so kids hanging there, some look like their siblings and others didn't.

"Hey Gabe," A girl said she had long wavy black hair with dark brown eyes; she was wearing ripped black jeans with the bright orange tee with safety pins earrings. "Who's this?"

I heard an English accent from her.

"Chill Cass, this is Alex she a new camper," Gabe said. "Alex this is Cassandra Taylor daughter of Hecate."

"Nice to meet ye'," Cassandra said. "Call me Cass for short."

"Nice to meet you Cass," I said. "Call me Alex instead of Alexis."

"Good to know," Cass said. "Do you know who our godly parent is?"

"No sorry." I said.

"That's mean you undetermined," Cass said. "Until you're parent decide to claim you're in Hermes cabin."

"Alright," I said. "But if you're a daughter of Hecate why are you in Hermes cabin?"

"The Minor gods and goddesses aren't allowed cabins here," Cass said. "To be honest it's wrong but I can't get them to listen."

"Cass we talk about this," Gabe said. "You have to let it go."

"Said the boy whose dad is Hephaestus, one of the Olympus twelve." Cass said.

I started too laughed to myself; Cass and Gabe stop yelling at each other and watch me.

"What's so funny?" Gabe asked.

"The two of you act like an old married couple." I said.

They started too laughed with me.

"Ok Alex let's get you stop to sleep in," Cass said grabbing my hand. "See you later Gabe."

"See you too that dinner!" Gabe called as he left the cabin.

"Sorry about going on my yelling match about the cabins," Cass said. "It just I do think the minor gods and goddesses should have cabins here."

"It's alright I understand." I said.

We kept walking, till we reached a stop that Cass stop moving.

"Here we go," Cass said. "You can sleep here I'll be right back."

She disappeared; I look around the cabin seeing the small spider webs in the condor of the building. When Cass came back she was holding a large sleeping bag, she handed me the bag.

"Thanks," I said putting the bag on the ground and unrolled it. "So, now what?"

"Dinner at seven thirty," Cass said. "Oh yeah it a 1974 you were pass out when the new year eve came and went."

"Seriously I missed out on New Year," I said. "Great."

"Here," Cass said throwing a small bag at me. "This is your surviving kit."

"Thanks." I said.

This is a time lapse (Get over it)

Around seven thirty a horn went off, Cass got up with the rest of the kids. Cass offered a hand, I grabbed it and she helped me up. We started walking to the large Pavilion/ mess hall; Satyrs joined us from the meadow. Naiads emerged from the canoeing lake. A few other girls came out of the woods and when I say out of the woods, I mean straight out of the woods. I saw one girl, about nine or ten years old, melt from the side of an oak tree and come skipping up the hill. I than realized they were no roof at the pavilion, torches blazed around the marble columns. There was central fire burned in a bronze brazier the size of a bathtub. Each cabin had its own table, covered in white cloth trimmed in purple. Four tables were empty, but cabin eleven's was way overcrowded. We kept walking till we sat on a table; half of my butt was hanging off. They were goblets everywhere.

"Just think of what you want to drink," Cass said. "Coke."

The goblet in front of Cass, shake a little but coke appeared in the goblet.

"Root beer." I said the goblet shook a little but brown liquid appeared in the goblet, I took a small snip.

"See told you." Cass said.

I nodded at her, smiling.

I saw Gabe was talking with his half brothers and half sisters, behind us,

Chiron pounded his hoof against the marble floor of the pavilion, and everybody fell silent. He raised a glass. "To the gods!"

Everybody else raised their glasses with myself following everyone else. "To the gods!"

Wood nymphs came forward with platters of food: grapes, apples, strawberries, cheese, fresh bread, and yes, barbecue! I quickly took want I wanted, and pass it on. I saw other campers were going up and walking towards the central fire.

"Come on," Cass said picking up her plate, I follow doing the same thing. All of the campers were giving a part of their food to the fire, the best of their stuff. "Burnt offerings for the gods. They like the smell." She whispered in my ear.

"Really?" I asked.

"Really," Cass said walking up to the fire bowing and took an amazing roll "Hecate."

I was next I took a deep breath, and silently pleaded. "Father please claimed me."

I took a juicily strawberry and threw it in.

"Father," I whispered, and went back to the table. As we were eating. "Cass who the man sitting next to Chiron?"

The man had curly black hair with a red nose; he was wearing a tiger strip Hawaiian shirt.

"That's Mr. D," Cass said. "Keep out of his way alright."

"Understood." I said.

As dinner started to come down, Mr. D stood up sighing to him.

"Yes, I suppose I better say hello to you brats. Well, hello. Our activities director, Chiron, says the next capture the flag is Friday. Cabin seven presently holds the laurels."

A bunch of cheering rose from the Apollo table.

"Personally," Mr. D continued, "I couldn't care less, but congratulations. Also, I should tell you we have one new camper today Alice Blackson."

Chiron murmured something to him.

"Er, Alexis Black," Mr. D corrected himself. "That's right. Hurrah, and all that. Now run along to your campfire. Go on."

We quickly empty the mess hall heading to the amphitheater where Apollo's cabin led a sing-along. We sang camp songs about the gods and ate s'mores and joked around, and the funny thing was, I didn't feel that anyone was staring at me anymore.

"Well how do you like Camp?" Gabe asked as he came over and sat next to us.

"I like it a lot," I said. "Cass are you behaving?"

"Yes Gabe," Cass said. "I'm being a little angel."

Causing me to laugh a lot more. Cass just rolled her eyes, and Gabe smiled.

Later in the evening, when the sparks from the campfire were curling into a starry sky, the conch horn blew again, and we all filed back to our cabins. I didn't realize how exhausted I was until I collapsed on my borrowed sleeping bag.

"Well how did you like you're first day here at Camp half blood?" Cass asked crashing next to me with a giant smile on her face.

"Well I love it." I said smiling but coving my mouth with my hand yawning.

"You're going to enjoy it," Cass said. "Night."

"Night." I whisper back
