Eloise followed Katie to their cabin she admired the twelve cabins that were there. Katie told Eloise which cabin goes with which god/goddess.
"That's where Rosie will be." Katie told Eloise as they passed Hermes's Cabin. "That's where all children of minor god or goddesses and unclaimed children go."
Eloise saw that the Hermes cabin was rather plain but it seemed homey. It was brown with Hermes's symbol on the door. She admired the cabin that Katie informed her that the Hunters of Artemis stayed when they came around.
"How many people are in our cabin?" Eloise asked.
"Six for now," Katie replied.
"I can't wait to meet them." Eloise smiled. "By the way, why did Rosie get instructed to stay in the Hermes Cabin? Can't she just choose a cabin to stay in?"
Katie shook her hear. "If only we all could. She was told to go to the Hermes Cabin because Hermes is the one who accepts all children who have no cabin."
"Oh, I see." Eloise felt that it was nice of Hermes to do.
"Here we are." Katie stopped in front of Demeter's Cabin. "Home sweet home."
Eloise took one look at the cabin and said, "I love it! Is that a real grass roof?"
Katie grinned. "Yes it is." She frowned and said, "What's that?"
Eloise looked up at the roof. "What's what?"
Katie squinted her eyes as she walked closer. "A goat?" She gasped when she heard a bleat. "The Stoll twins have done it again!"
"Who?"
"They're twin brothers. They're staying in the same cabin as Rosie."
"Oh, that's just great." Eloise sighed. "Rosie can hold grudges longer than any person that I know if they make her mad."
"She can?"
Eloise nodded. "I don't think she should. Everyone says it's bad for her health." She let out a sigh. "It also seems the longer the grudge, the worst the environment around her gets to be."
"It could also kill her." Katie's voice was so serious that Eloise was surprised.
"What do you mean?" Eloise was confused. "How could holding a grudge kill her?"
"It's her fatal flaw."
Meanwhile, in Hermes's Cabin, Rosie noticed that Luke was playing on a computer. She looked around and noticed how much technology there was. She wondered if the other cabins were like this.
"Are you the newest addition to this cabin?" Luke asked. He had seen her walking through the camp earlier but hadn't thought anything of it. Now that he got a better look at her, he thought that she was a nice looking girl, just a bit shy.
Rosie nodded in reply. "There's no cabin for me so I was told that I would be staying in here." She said quietly.
Luke turned the computer game he had been playing off then looked at Rosie. "Who's your parent?"
"Hades." She looked around the cabin. "Is there somewhere where I can change?"
"You can change in here. I won't look."
Rosie gave Luke a look that said, 'Promise?' She held her bag to her chest. She was very cautious about who she changed in front of.
"I won't look." Luke promised her. "If I do, you have my permission to turn me into a stag or the animal of your choice."
Rosie giggled at the Artemis reference. Artemis was her favorite goddess. "Okay." She said as she went into a corner. She made sure Luke's back was to her before slipping her clothes off. She put on a black tank top and a pair of white short shorts with owls on them. Phrases such as 'night owl,' 'fly away with me' and 'hooty hoo' were on them. "I'm done changing." She told Luke.
Just as Rosie finished talking, the cabin door opened and a group of boys came in. One by one, they noticed Rosie and stared at her, causing her to get uncomfortable. She could only imagine what was going through their heads. She felt like she was being studied by the guys. One boy was Japanese American with an eye patch, black hair and brown eyes. There were two twins boys with brown hair and blue eyes. Another boy had black eyes and brown hair.
"This won't be a problem, will it?" Rosie asked Luke. She tugged slightly at the bottom of her pajama bottoms.
"No, why," Luke replied.
"They're looking at me as if they've never seen a girl before." She set her bag down next to her and looked at Luke. She was too uncomfortable to look at the other guys.
"We don't have girls in this cabin often."
"Why's that?"
"They get claimed by their parents." Luke turned to the guys. "Guys, this is Rosie Murray, daughter of Hades."
"Apparent illegal child," Rosie mumbled mainly to herself.
Luke laughed at what Rosie said then continued talking. "She's staying with us as there is no Hades cabin." He looked at Rosie and smiled. "The Japanese guy is Ethan Nakamura, son of Nemesis. The twins are Connor and Travis Stoll and the black hair, brown eye one is Chris Rodriguez. They are my half-brothers."
"It's nice to meet you." Chris told Rosie.
"You too," Rosie said quietly.
Connor whispered something to Travis, who laughed behind his hand. Ethan elbowed the two in the ribs and said, "Be nice, we have a new cabin mate."
"I just realized that I haven't explained everything yet." Luke spoke up. He sat down on a bed and motioned for Rosie to do the same, which she did. "We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the mess hall. We're not allowed to talk to anyone else from another cabin; however, we can talk to them outside the mess hall. We play Capture the Flag on Fridays from seven to nine. We have to be in our cabins by ten o' five each night. The weekends are our free time."
"Tell her about Capture the Flag!" Ethan bellowed. "We won this time!"
"I will tomorrow." Luke told him. "It's around time we get to bed."
Rosie turned away so the boys could change. She leaned against a wall and struggled to stay awake. To her surprise, she melted into the shadow. She looked around to see that she was in a tunnel. 'Where am I?" she thought.
"Go towards the light." The low voice was back. However, the voice wasn't in her head, it was in the tunnel with her.
Rosie looked around and tried to locate the source of the voice. "I always thought the saying was 'Don't go towards the light.'" She couldn't help but say that out loud. "What if there's something waiting to attack me?"
"Please, trust me."
Rosie sighed. "Alright, I trust you." She walked towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
"There you are." Connor said upon seeing Rosie.
"Where did you go?" Travis asked.
Rosie saw that she was back in the cabin. As she sat down on the floor, she wondered what had just happened and why she was suddenly dead tired. "I'm tired." She said.
Chris nodded and said, "It's almost time for bed, anyways."
"Before I forget," Luke spoke up. "This is Crystal, daughter of Iris," A red hair, blue eye girl smiled and waved. "Amanda, daughter of Nike," An African American girl smiled at Rosie. "Camille, daughter of Hebe," A Hispanic girl with curly hair gave Rosie a wide smile. "And Mary Ann, daughter of Tyche," A blonde hair, blue eye girl waved.
Rosie looked around, saw no open beds now that some more cabin mates showed up, and asked, "Where will I be sleeping?" She shifted slightly. "I could sleep on the floor."
"You can share a bed with me." Luke offered. He blushed after the words left his mouth, realizing how they sounded.
The other guys laughed and smacked one another on the arms. Rosie rolled her eyes at their immaturity along with some of the girls. However, she blushed too. Yes, she had shared a bed with others too but never a male. Luke, however, knew how the other guys would take those words and glared at them.
"Be mature." Crystal scolded the guys.
"I don't want to be a burden." Rosie said quietly.
"Au contraire, mon cheri." Luke insisted awkwardly. "I insist. You shouldn't have to sleep on the floor and I don't mind sharing. Besides," he glanced at the four girls. "The girl beds are already crowded."
Rosie avoided Luke's eyes and stared at her hands. She knew Luke meant well but the other guys' immaturity made her feel very shy.
Luke bent down so he could look at Rosie. He really wanted to make her feel comfortable at Camp Half-Blood. He took her chin in his hand and lifted her chin so she was looking at him. "Ignore the guys." He whispered. "I promise that I won't do anything to you in your sleep."
Rosie watched Luke's pupils to make sure he wasn't lying. His pupils stayed the same and he didn't touch his face, mouth or neck. "Fine," She finally said.
Camille and Mary Ann got into one bed and Amanda and Crystal in another on one side of the cabin. Rosie got in on one side of a bed and Luke on the other side. Rosie, who always slept on her right side, found that she was facing Luke, who was facing her. However, she was too tired to be embarrassed about that at that point.
"Let me know if you're uncomfortable." Luke whispered to her.
Rosie nodded and quietly said, "I will." She was hoping that the others were asleep already. She didn't want to wake them up.
"Can I ask you something?" he asked quietly.
"Sure." She said in a sleepy tone.
Luke paused as he noted Rosie's voice. "You know what, I'll ask you tomorrow. You sound really tired."
"Dead tired," Rosie nodded.
"See you in the morning."
"Good night." Rosie felt her eyes get heavy as she drifted off to Dreamland. She felt safe in Hermes's Cabin.
Luke listened to Rosie's breathing as it got more even. He watched her rib cage rise and fall with each breath. He took one of her hands and laced his fingers in between hers. He smiled as he fell asleep.
A/N: What do you think Luke wants to ask her? Trust me, it will get more exciting. How do you think Rosie and Eloise will adapt to Camp Half-Blood? I hope no one seemed too OOC. Please no flames.
