I follow the crowd of campers back to the cabins. I see Grant walking towards cabin number three. Poseidon. So he stays there. Interesting. I sprint behind the cabins and race to cabin three. Before Grant can walk into the cabin I pull on his arm. He quickly faces me.

"How'd you know?" I ask.

"Know what?" He says. I'm not fooled by his innocent expression. I stare into his eyes and see nervousness.

"The flag didn't change color after I had claimed it. You picked up on that. I saw." He jerks into a defensive stance.

"So what if I did see it. It's not like everyone else didn't." He counters without hesitation.

"Yeah everyone saw it, but no one noticed it." I retort.

"That makes no sense."

"No. It makes perfect sense! What doesn't make sense is why you won't tell me!"

"What do you want me to say?" He looks irritated and tired, but I couldn't let go of what happened tonight.

"I want you to tell me who you think my so-called 'godly' parent is, because I have a pretty good feeling you know or at the least have a hunch." Thunder booms over the valley. Grant begins looking impatient. He looks around to see people staring at us as they shuffle into their cabins.

"Fine. You want to know what I think? I think the flag didn't change color because you haven't been claimed yet? There. Happy?" Still staring at his face I see sweat drip from his brow. He couldn't still be sweating from the game, could he? He'sss lying. I'm surprised by the voice inside my head. It sounds like the voice I heard from the pit in the portal trip that seems like it happened forever ago.

I come back to reality. Grant is staring at me waiting for an answer. "Fine." I snap.

"Good." He snaps back, but uneasily steps up onto the steps of his cabin.

"Good." I spin on my heels and storm off towards the big house. I never look back.

"How'd your first day go?" Percy asks as I jog into the house. Percy is sitting on the couch playing cards with an invisible person while Annabeth is reading a book on the titans.

"Oh, um good, I guess." My smile is just as weak as my voice.

"It'll get better. I promise." Percy smiles at me and then says, "Well make sure to get a lot of sleep and set your alarm! Eight o'clock comes early in the morning." This time a genuine smile appears on my face.

"Will do." I bound up the stairs and go into my room. As soon as my head hits the pillow I'm out.
