We are walking down a stone pathway as the girl named Annabeth explains everything to me. I space out through most of it, but I am able to deduce that she and Percy are both demigods who grew up and trained at Camp Half-Blood.

We finally arrive at Cabins. Some are weird, while others are pretty. I always assumed Greek mythology was only a myth, but I still studied it meticulously. Seeing the Cabins I conclude that there is one cabin for each god and goddess. I don't realize I say this aloud.

"You're right," Annabeth smiled. As Percy came up behind us and added,"You should be claimed within a week, but don't worry if you aren't. The Olympian gods and goddess are very busy." Thunder booms over the valley and Percy flinches.

"So when you say 'should', you mean there's a chance that my Olympian parent won't claim me and I'll forever be undecided. Also, Mr. Jackson you don't hide worry too well in your voice."

"What? I don't know what you're talking about." He responds waving it off with his hand.

Annabeth's countenance is unfazed by my remark. "Well for now you while you are still healing you can stay in the big house. As soon as you're healed you can join the Hermes Cabin, if you're not claimed yet. But there will be many activities throughout the week for your parent to claim you."

"Why wasn't I found by monsters. I mean I'm not trying to sound ungrateful for my luck, but shouldn't I have been found by a monster already? The kids who are my age look like they've been here for years. The beads on their necklaces? Do they represent how many years they've trained? Because if so everyone of them has me beat by like five years." All of this flows out of my mouth.

"You're very observant Helen. But we don't know why you weren't found by monsters. There's a lot about this world we don't understand. I'd like to know more about your life. Come see me sometime this week. Maybe we can figure out some answers." Annabeth spoke.

"How did you guess all of that by walking around the camp? Do you have eyes like a hawk?" Percy marveled.

"Actually I need glasses..." I reply. Percy laughs.

"Well I'll have a camper go get you some toiletries from the camp store and you can walk back to the big house. You're room is the first door on the second floor. Percy and I have to go train campers at the arena, but you take the day to get settled in. Think about what happened last night. Maybe we could talk later on." Annabeth acknowledges my look of nervousness and says, "Don't worry, you're safe here now." She studies me for two seconds even though it feels much longer. She and Percy turn around and head towards the arena.

Great. How am I suppose to tell them about what happened last night? I don't even know what happened. My mind repeats my meeting with the boy over and over, but before I know it I'm walking up the porch steps. I take a minute to look around. This is a nice camp; it's not that bad. In front of the porch across the stone walkway are strawberry fields. The wind blows the scent of ripe berries into my face. Maybe I can live here. Like I said it's not that bad. No Helen. This isn't home. I'm safe here. You don't know these people. They seem nice though! What about my parents, they don't know where I am. My mind battles back and forth. I sigh as I open the screen door.

The house sounds empty. The stairs creak with every step. After thirteen steps I reach the top. Okay, first door on the second floor. I round a corner and find a door. Another hallway leads to the right. So this is it. It'll be awkward if it isn't. Here goes nothing.

My hand turns the doorknob and pushes the door open. The room is small. Somewhat like the room I was in before. The other room was much bigger, however, the walls were white and the bed was exactly the same. I go over to the window. I have a view of the volleyball court. Teens hit the volleyball back and forth. I'm mesmerized until I hear a knock. I jump.

"Woah. Sorry about that. I didn't mean to scare you." The guy holds his hands up defensively. In his hands is a bag. So this is the camper delivering me my toiletries. Not knowing what to say, the awkward silence continues. "Well, here's your stuff." He tosses it on the bed.

"I'm sorry. I don't usually act like this. I'm just... surprised." The guy raises an eyebrow, but it gets lost in his messy jet black hair.

"Surprised? Yeah I probably still would be too. It's a lot to take in. I think Chiron's better at explaining camp than my mom. But don't tell her I said that. When it comes to having a mother as a Daughter of Athena, 'Mother knows best.' Anyways I better head back to the archery field and let you get settled in." He slowly turned back through the door.

"Wait! Who's Chiron?" I quickly called.

The guy walks back down the hallway and turns in my doorway. "He's the camp's activity director. He's away on a meeting." The guy stares out the window.

"Is the camp still safe without him here?" The guy looks startled as if I read his mind.

"Yeah... Are you sure you're all right? You seem worried." His eyebrows scrunch together while studying me.

"Positive."

My answer doesn't seem to be enough, but he shrugs off any thoughts and turns back around. "See you at dinner tonight." He yells as he bounds down the stairs.

I sit on the bed and contemplate what happened. So, this guy is the son of Annabeth and Percy. So does he still have demigod abilities? I wonder... Lets assume he does then - Um Helen, you're going off track. Right, okay onto the next one. He said I looked worried. Well I am. I begin thinking about last night, but pain flashes in the back of my eyes. I feel like fainting. I lay on the bed. How about I go take a shower? Yeah, a shower sounds good.

I sort through my toiletries and pull out the stuff I need. I make my way to the open door at the end of the hallway. I try to not take a long shower, because I don't know when someone will come to check on me. After I'm done I pull on the spare t-shirt and shorts. The t-shirt is orange with black writing on it. It says 'Camp Half-Blood' with a pegasus underneath it. I'm about to put my hair in a ponytail when I realize I have no elastic. Well thats just great! Just to let you know my hair is naturally curly and frizzy. Not a good combination on a hot summer day.

As I make my way back to my room I hear the screen door open and slam. "You know she could be a daughter of Athena..." A male voice speaks.

"Maybe, but we won't know until she starts activities..." A female says.

"She should play in capture the flag tonight."

"Percy. Her arm still isn't healed."

"Hey I'm just throwing that out there. I was claimed in capture the flag, maybe she'll share the same luck."

"I know, but she has no sword fighting experience whatsoever."

"We could have Grant show her some basics."

The bickering continues and I debate whether I should go down stairs or go to my room. I wait for five minutes to pass and then I go downstairs. The owners of the voices are completely oblivious to the creaking steps. I walk into the kitchen. Percy notices me first.

"Hey, do you think you could still use your right arm?"

"Well I'm left handed... so I guess I could."

"Percy no, shes-"

"Then it's settled. What do say about learning the basics of sword fighting?"
