You would think that being a demigod would prepare you for the most outrageous and grosses news. I mean, we kill monsters for a living and believe in myths. What part of that isn't outrageous? Or gross? We're expected to take crazy news without flinching. Our motto: The crazier the better!

But yet every single demigod there stared open mouth at Jenny as she explained her story.

"Wait," Percy interrupted. "So you're telling us that you're the daughter of Pan?"

I frowned slightly. "I still can't get over the fact that Nico broke his arm," I mumbled and everyone glanced at Nico, who was currently trying to stick a mental hanger down his cast.

"But that's impossible," Katie Gardner from the Demeter cabin protested.

Percy's frowned deepened. "It's not impossible," he told her slowly as if she were a child, "Nico is human, so it is possible from him to break his arm."

Katie rolled her eyes. "I meant Jenny being the daughter of Pan."

"Oh." Percy's cheeks redden in embarrassment. "I knew that."

Kyle scratched his head. "I think it kind of makes sense, you know. She's a vegetarian and she's very protected of wildlife," he explained. He snorted. "And besides who could resist my dad's infamous ribs?"

I grinned. "I know I can't."

Chiron cleared his throat and immediately everyone quit down. "Jenny, would you please explain to us how you came to that conclusion?"

Jenny nodded. "Yes, sir." She turned to where she was facing us, then explained how she was having these strange dreams and hearing weird voices.

"I kept hearing someone calling my name from the forest," she explained. "But when I went to go find the source, it wasn't a person. It was...it was like a force or something like that."

"Use the force, Jenny," Kyle mumbled in a raspy voice. "Use it! Because I am your father!" I snickered, but stopped when Melissa shot me a glare.

"Shut up you Star War nerds," she hissed.

Kyle and I glanced at each other. "Sam, she thinks we're nerds." Kyle and I broke into wide grins. "Sweet!" We fist bumped and did a little victory dance in our seats.

Melissa rolled her eyes and tried to look sternly at us, but I saw the corner of her mouth twitch. "Guys, shut up before you miss something important." She shot us another glare and turned her back to us.

I dug my elbow into Kyle's side. "She's right, you over-sized teddy bear! Quit distracting me before I miss something important!" I turned my chair around and faced Jenny.

"-and that's how I made my way back here." Oops!

It was pretty sad, actually. I make a big fuss over Jenny going missing and when she tells us her big life changing discovery, I get distracted and completely zone out!

I huffed and crossed my arms. Stupid Kyle!

Chiron stroked his beard. "Unfortunately, Jenny, there's no cabin for Pan due to the fact that no one ever predicated Pan to have a child." She gave Jenny a grim smile. "I think you'll have to stay in the Hermes' cabin just a little longer while Annabeth designs and builds a cabin for you."

Jenny nodded. "I understand, Chiron. Its-"

I jumped up out of my seat. "Hold on there just a second." Everyone turned their head towards me. Wow! That's a lot of eyeballs! I crossed my arms self-consciously. "I'm not letting Jenny stay in a cabin full of trouble makers." I ignored Travis and Connor's mock hurt faces. "She can stay in the Poseidon cabin with me and Percy."

Behind me I heard a mocking laugh. "And staying with you is any better? Wow, Sam! You're a real funnybone tickler!"

I through a death glare over my shoulder at Kyle. "Shut up you bra stuffer!" I hissed at him.

He glared back at me. "It was the wrong number!"

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I turned back to Chiron. "So can she stay with us?"

Again, he stroked his beard. "I suppose so," he said slowly. "But Percy is still in charge."

I nodded. "Of course. He is the most responsible and mature-" I stopped mid-sentence when I glanced at Percy.

He had Nico's arm - the one in the cast - in one hand and the hanger in the other. He roughly shook Nico's arm. "It won't come out," Percy grunted. He shook harder.

Nico yelp in pain. "Stop it, Percy! You're hurting me!"

But Percy ignored him. "It...won't...come...OUT!" What happened next happened so fast that I'm not even sure if I really saw what happened or not. Percy through the hanger over his shoulder and grabbed Nico's arm with both hands and banged it roughly against the table.

Bang!

"Come on! Get out of there!"

Bang!

"Ow! Stop, Percy! Stop!"

Bang!

"I see it! It's almost out!"

Bang!

Cling!

Percy jumped up and down. "Yes! I got it out!" He did a little victory dance and pick up what seem to be a penny. He kissed the small brown coin. "I missed you!" He walked towards the door. "Let's go little guy."

Everyone watched Percy walk out the door while cooing to the practically worthless coin. Weird...

Nico stood up and cradled his cast to his chest. "My arm-" sniff -"My penny-" sniff - "Gone."


"Finally!" I shouted in glee. "All your stuff is here!" I nodded towards the mess pile I made on one of the empty beds. "You can organize everything later."

Jenny rolled her eyes at the mess. "You're so lazy! You carried my backpack from the Hermes' cabin to your cabin-" She rolled her eyes again and pointed at the mess- "and dumped all my stuff out of my backpack and onto the bed."

I placed my hands on my hips. "Pssht! I'm the lazy one?" I snorted. "I'm not the girl who spent the first four days of summer last year in her bed doing nothing but stare at your poster of Taylor Launther!"

Jenny's face flushed. "I did not! I was just, you know, admiring his upper body features."

I grinned. "He does have some nice body features," I admitted. I lazily put my arm around her and stirred her to the door. "Let's go to dinner, kiddo!" I grinned down at her. "We'll talk about Taylor and his amazing features later."

We quickly made our way to the Poseidon table where Percy was already eating. He looked up when he heard us coming. He grinned. "Hey, Sam! Hey, Jenny!" He frowned when he saw me already digging into my dinner. "Aren't you going to make an offering?"

I shrugged. "Nah. I'll just pray to dad before I go to bed tonight." I winked at my big brother. "I hope you made an offering big enough for the both of us."

He snorted. "Actually, I-"

"Hey, Percy."

I looked behind my shoulder to see no other than Annabeth Chase. I glanced back at Percy's face. Oh for the love of-

"Yea-yeah, Annabeth?" His voice sounded like a frog was making out with the inside of his throat.

Oddly, Annabeth chewed on her bottom lip and was staring intensely at the ground. She blushed when she looked up and their eyes met. "I- I was just wondering if-" she paused- "I'll talk to you after the campfire." And with that she quickly made her way to the Athena table.

Percy stared longing after Annabeth. He sighed sadly and chewed thoughtfully on his pizza.

Jenny and I exchanged looks. I looked back at Percy and cleared my throat. "So, uh, Percy. What's up with you and Annabeth?"

He sighed. "It's complicated."

"Really? Because you two are both acting like awkward pre-teens. What's up, PJ? Are y'all going through a rough patch or something?"

He shook his head. "No, it's not that. We're doing fine. It's that-" He paused and narrowed his eyes at me- "You know what? I'm not having this conversation with you."

I snorted. "Why?" I asked. "Is it because I'm not your pillow?"

"What? No, I don't-"

I held up my hand. "Its perfectly fine not wanting to talk to anyone other than your pillow, Percy. I mean, you did used to make out with it, right?"

Percy flushed. "What? I did not-"

"It's ok getting attached to it."

"I am not-"

"It's ok to have emotional feelings for your old kissing partner."

"Oh, shut up!" By now, Percy's face resembled a lobster.

Grinning at each other, Jenny and I continued to eat our dinner while occasionally snickering to ourselves. I know what you guys must be thinking: Poor Percy! Oh, Sam, must you embarrass him like that? (Image a fan girl huffing right now)

Well, dear fan girls, I'm his sister (well, half-sister) and it's my job to tease the confidence out of him.

Jenny nudged me. "Come on, Sam." She stood up. "Let's go to the campfire."

Along the way to the campfire, I bumped into Brittany. Literally.

I rubbed my aching head. "We really need to stop meeting like this."

She laughed. "Yeah, we really do." She smirked. "Though, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with a concussion since your head is so obviously filled with rocks."

I rolled my eyes. "So should I be excepting some kind of lawsuit or something?" I teased.

She grinned. "Its more like a full body bath in cream cheese."

"Well, it would save me the trouble in asking Percy to pass the cream cheese in the mornings. All I'll have to do is wipe my bagel on my arm."

Incase u haven't realize, Brittany's god parent is Hermes. Which explained her secret stash of cream cheese and other breakfast products. (She's the girl to go to when you're all out of your favorite jelly!)

We met during my week of sleep exhaustion. (Didn't I mentioned this story?) We literally bumped into each other - like we did today - and instantly bonded.

Brittany through her head back and laughed. "You're so crazy! Anyways, how about we three all head down to the campfire together?"

"Sure!"

All three of us walked together to the campfire while talking about camp activities, s'mores, boys, s'mores, great techniques for killing monsters, and s'mores. (We really like s'mores.)

We sat down together in the front row ('cause that's where all the hard core s'mores lovers sit!) and sang along to all the songs the Apollo kids strung on their guitars.

Word of advice to all you readers: Don't sing along to happy campfire songs while you're eating flaming hot s'mores. The result usually ends with you either spitting chewed up flaming hot s'mores bits into other people's faces (Sorry Percy!) or you choking on said extremely hot dessert (I told you to slow down Jenny!)

Brittany slung her scrawny arm around my shoulder and sway from side to side while waving her s'more in the air and singing along to the song:

"Oh take me out to the arena! Take me out to the stands! Buy me some armor and Swiss blade knives. Don't even worry if the cops will arrive! So take me out to the arena! Take me out to the stands! 'Cause its one...two...three slice your dead! At the old-"

I zoned out, but it wasn't from boredom like usual. No, it was from the chills I got all of the sudden. I looked in all directions searching furiously for the source that had trigged these chills. My breathing came in short heavy gasps as my eyes scanned the bushes around the campfire (isn't that some kind of safety hazard?)

My eyes zeroed in on the slight movement (was that a foot?) behind one of the many bushes surrounding the big campfire gathering (those tree huggers really need to read some kind of safety hazard manual if they don't want to be accidently set on fire).

I stayed trained on the bush, waiting for another movement of any kind. Come o-

"Hey, Sam, you ok? I've called your name like five times." Brittany shook my shoulder while giving me a concerned look. "Are you ok? Your not going to pass out on me, are you?"

I gave her a strained smile. "I don't think so." I shrugged. "I just, you know, zoned out."

"Oh." She gave me a somewhat understanding smile. "Well, it's probably just your ADHD acting up." But she didn't look like that's what she thought was wrong.

I nodded. "Yeah, I'm probably just tired from all the lack of sleep," I said, though I wasn't sure who I was trying to convince.

"Well, the campfire just ended so why don't you go to your cabin and get some sleep."

I nodded. "Ok, I will." I stood up and turned to Jenny. "Are u coming with?"

Jenny shook her head. "Later. I'm going to swing by the Demeter cabin really quick and get some supplies."

"Oh, ok. Just don't take long. Be back by curfew," I said sternly and turned back to Brittany. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, Brit!"

She made a face at the nickname. "Can't you come up with something more original?"

I grinned. "I'll try."

I spun on my heels and made a beeline to my cabin. When I walked into the cabin, I realized I was alone. I wasn't sure if I liked that or not. Sure it was nice to have some alone time away from my half-brother and his weird guy ways, but after having that strange episode with the chills and movement in the bushes I didn't really want to be all alone in an empty cabin.

I let out a deep breath I didn't know I was holding and forced myself not to run out the cabin in a panicking manner. I inwardly scowled. What was wrong with me? Why was I scared over some weird feeling I got? For all I know, it could've been a cold breeze that had given me those chills.

NO, a small in the back of my head said softly. You know that's not true. It wasn't that kind of chill.

It really wasn't. It was more like a prickly kind of feeling you get in the back of your neck than the chill you get during the winter.

After a few more minutes of inwardly arguing with myself, I've finally decided to just let it go.

I sighed and headed towards the bathroom to start on my night time route. Well, at least tonight I wouldn't be waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

I quickly washed my face (got to keep the money maker smooth and flawless, u know) and brushed my teeth. Satisfied with my now sparkly teeth (Edward Cullen, eat your heart out!) I spun on my heels and headed towards the door. I reached for the door knob, but stopped half way. I was positive I heard a rustling sound in the other room.

I was completely frozen in place. The back of my neck erupted in prickles as I strained my ears to hear beyond the door.

Silence.

I rolled my eyes at myself. Stop being so paranoid! Ignoring all the warnings my body was giving me, I opened the door and walked into the room.

Boy, was I stupid sometimes!
