Sorry for not updating sooner but here is chapter 4.
Chapter 4- Percy Jackson
I woke up before everybody else. So I decided to go down to the lake. The lake was one of the most beautiful places in the camp. I walked over to the Lake. There was no fog anywhere near the Lake and the sun was shining. It must have been pretty early because no one was outside. I picked up a rock and threw it at the water. It skipped on the surface and then it disappeared.
"Pretty impressive throw." I heard a soft voice behind me say. I spun around and saw a girl with an orange camp half-blood T-shirt, dirty blond hair and grey eyes.
"Nicole." I said stunned.
"You're up early." She said. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah." I said. I had never really noticed before but she was very beautiful.
"I always come to the lake in the morning." She said. "It's very peaceful."
"It really is." I said. Nicole picked up a rock and skipped it about twice as many times as my throw. "Can I ask you something." I said.
"Sure."
"How did you find out that your mom's Athena?"
"She claimed me."
"How does that work."
"She sent me a message and an image of an owl appeared above my head."
"I never knew my dad." Nicole didn't say anything. I looked over at her but she seemed distracted by something. She was looking at something above my head.
"What are you looking at?" I asked.
"Alex," she said. "I know who your dad is."
"Who?" I asked.
"Look up." She said. I looked up and saw a fire burning above my head, I looked closer and saw a hammer in the middle of the flame. The flame disappeared.
"Was that the symbol of Hephaestus?" I asked.
"Yes," she said. "Yes it is."
"So my dad is Hephaestus." I said. It felt good knowing who my dad was.
"We should spread the news." Nicole said. "Let's tell mr. D." We walked to the big house. We walked in and saw mr. D and Simon playing Pinochle. Simon's face lit up when he saw me.
"Alexander," he said. "What's up?"
"Alex was claimed." Nicole said.
"Great news." Mr. D said. He didn't seem very amused.
"Who is it?" Simon asked.
"It's Hephaestus." I said.
"Great," Simon said. "I'll spread the news." An image appeared in front of mr. D. An image of a boy with curly brown hair and a man in a wheelchair.
"Ah, hello there Chiron and Grover." Mr. D said.
"Hello." The man in the wheelchair said. "We have a message. Grover."
"I'm bringing Percy to camp." The boy with the curly hair said. "Today."
"Great news." Mr. D said.
"Be careful Grover." Simon said.
"I will be." Grover said. "How did it go with your half-blood?"
"Why don't you ask him." He said, looking at me. "He's just been claimed by Hephaestus."
"I hope it goes as well with me." Grover said. Chiron was about to say something but the image faded away.
"Who was that." I asked.
"That was Chiron the camp director, and Grover, one of my friends." Simon said.
"Is he also a Satyr?"
"Yeah." He said. "He found a half-blood called Percy and he's bringing him to camp tonight." He paused. "It's time for breakfast let's go." We walked over to the tables. Everyone was woken up and it was time for breakfast. Before everybody sat down Mr. D made an announcement.
"Everybody listen." He said. "As you all know our new camper Alexander is still undetermined. Until now, Alexander, please join the Hephaestus table." I walked over to the table and sat down. We started dinner. The Hephaestus kids were pretty cool. One of them who I think was the cabin leader said he'd get me settled in in no time. Breakfast was over and I got my stuff from the Hermes cabin. I spend the rest of the day training and settling into the new cabin. In no time it was time for dinner. We all went to the table and got our food. I walked up to the bonfire and scraped in some of my food. I made a little pray to Hephaestus. I was walking back to my table when suddenly a Satyr ran into a the hall.
"He's here." He said. "He killed the Minotaur. He needs healing." I had no idea what he was talking about but everybody else seemed to know. We dropped our plates and ran towards the pine tree. All I could do was follow. When we got there I saw a boy who I guess was Percy. He was lying next to a Satyr who must have been Grover. A half horse, half man was standing next to them. We stopped at the top of the hill. A girl who looked like Nicole ran out of the crowd and crouched next to Percy.
"He's the one." She said.
"Alright, someone help us carry Grover and Percy to the big house." The horse man said. "Everybody else, go back to whatever you were doing." We did as we were told.
That was chapter 4. Let me know what you think of it.
