4th chappie! Yays!

And since so many people requested it I'm doing it in paragraph form.

I do not own PJO, Rick Riordan does

I'm confused

It had been a couple of days since arriving at camp and I hadn't thought of my mother once. There was so much to do here that I didn't possibly have time to think about her. At night when I went to my nice little square of floorboards in the Hermes cabin, I was so exhausted, the second I hit my pillow I was off in dreamland. Except I didn't dream. At all. It was a dreamless night after night.

Every day I would get up, shower and go to breakfast. Now the bathrooms at Camp Half-Blood weren't bad, just... disgusting, and I'm putting it nicely. At breakfast I would eat with my usual offering to Hermes. Then I would be to wherever the Hermes cabin leader would take us (he's a tall, lanky guy with brown curly hair named Steven) usually first it would be the rock climbing wall. I was no good at it. I kept getting burned by the lava or getting scratched by one of the falling boulders but finally I reached the top. I bet even with a little bit of practice I could get to the top in no time.

I saw much of Alexis but not much of Harris. Harris was a child of Apollo. Alexis was a true Hermes (meaning she had been claimed by Hermes). I was kind of jealous of both of them. I still had not been claimed. Alexis was enjoying life at Camp Half-Blood. She woke up cheerful and joyous ready for another day. I bet nothing could ever have drowned her spirits. One day when I was eating dinner with the Hermes cabin Chiron made an important announcement to the whole camp.

"Quiet... Quiet please," everybody settled down. "Saturday, will be the next game of capture the flag!"

Everybody suddenly erupted in cheers loud enough to fracture some body's ears. I had no idea what they were so excited about so I didn't really cheer. Apparently Alexis didn't get it either so I shared in her confused state. I can see that guy's really like there school games. When the roar died down we were allowed to finish eating. So I ate then went back to Hermes cabin. I sat down thinking about the nights events. I decided to ask one of the older campers what was going on.

"Psst," I whispered. "What's the great big deal about capture the flag?"

The girl I was talking to, Hannah, looked at me strange then looked like she'd remembered something.

"I forgot," She said. "You're the new kid."

I resented that term but she kept going.

"Capture the flag is the most extremest sport ever!"

I noted her enthusiasm.

"We play on teams made up of different cabins, the teams are decided by the cabins themselves. Sometimes one cabin will offer to do chores for another cabin in exchange for alliance in the game."

"This Saturday we're hoping to team up with Ares, Apollo, and Poseidon cabin. Even though Poseidon cabin only has one member but he's a darn good player."

"Why?" I asked. "Why does Poseidon cabin only have one person in it?"

"Well, newbie, you sure ask a lot of questions. But after this one no more. Got it?" She adjusted her pose. "About fifty years ago the Big Three gods made a pact," Sensing that I was going to ask another question she said,"Poseidon, Hades and Zeus. Since their children were so powerful they had reason to believe that they could start World War III and the gods would probably take part. So they decided never to have children again. But all except Hades failed. Poseidon had Percy Jackson the only Poseidon cabin inhabitant." This cleared things up a bit."Zeus had a girl named Thalia, she was traveling with her friends, Luke,"She shivered at the name. "Annabeth, and Grover. But before she could reach over the hill out their,"Motioning to outside."which keeps demi-gods safe from monsters and mortals, she was killed. Her father pitied her so she made her into the tree we see today. But two years ago she was getting sick, so Percy, Annabeth and Grover went to find a magical item that heals anything when worn. When they got back they put the fleece onto the tree and it healed it. It even healed Thalia and so now she's alive again, but not in the camp but in the Hunt with Artemis."

All this confused me so much. Greek myths are hard to understand. I thought about going to the Athena cabin and asking for a book on Greek myths. They might lend me one. But I wouldn't have anything cleared up about all that stuff Hannah had just said. What cabin is Annabeth in? What cabin is Grover in? Why does that hill and tree protect us? How does it? So many questions. I might just ask some other people about it. And what about capture the flag? What was I gonna do? Seemed like I could get killed while playing. Oh well.

And that's when I decided.

"I'm gonna get a book from the Athena cabin.

EXHAUSTING!

Especially that whole part about the Big Three and Thalia and Percy and all that.

Whew!
