Next chapter! I need to refresh my brain, so please correct me on my mistakes. I haven't read the books in a while. I'm not gonna spend a long time on this so let's get started.


O.C POV (as always)

As the group caught up with me, I could hear Will trying to ask me more questions on why I tried to leave. I didn't answer. Honestly, I didn't want to. So I left him hanging for a reply. I stopped near a building and waited for someone to say something.

The buildings were, well, strange. Strange, but interesting. Every structure looked different, as if each of them had their own personality. Will then spoke up.

"Fine, I won't ask you any more questions. But you still need to introduce yourself to the camp," he added.

Public speaking? With people I don't even know? This is going to be the death of me. I've gotten used to talking in front of classes because I practically knew everyone there but talking in front of a camp that I don't even have a certain connection to, as I know of right now, is a little nerve-wracking. Being a little stubborn myself, I flat out denied.

"No, I'm not going to do that," I mumbled. The dark haired boy and the girl looked at each other.

"Um, excuse me, what? Could you say that again? We couldn't hear you," he said jokingly. They waited for the answer.

"Fine. Be stubborn. We aren't forcing you to introduce yourself. If it makes you feel better just introduce yourself to us."

I could agree to that, right? Nothing too troublesome.

"Well, okay. But you better listen closely right now because I'm not going to repeat this. My name is Jack Cephas and I was born here in America. When I was nine, I moved to London and seven years later, I ended up here."

They all nodded their heads quietly.

"We should really introduce ourselves now, shouldn't we? My name is Leo Valdez, also known as Super-sized McShizzle and Bad Boy Supreme, son of Hephaestus." The girl slapped his arm lightly.

"Don't mind him. My name is Calypso." And with that, they both looked at Will.

"Oh, uh, my name is Will Solace, but you already know that." He shrugged.

Silence.

"And, to get you started on how it works here at Camp Half-Blood, you don't sleep in your own cabin unless you get claimed by your godly parent. You see that cabin?" Will pointed at cabin 11. "That's cabin 11. The Hermes cabin. Unless they get claimed before they get a chance to sleep in there, every demigod sleeps in there until they're claimed. It's really crowded." Something really bothered me about that.

"So are you telling me that they all stay in that cabin? What if they never get claimed?" Will shrugged.

"Then they don't get to their cabin and will never know who their godly parent is," he replied. Now that's just sad.

"What if I don't get claimed?"

"Don't worry, you probably will. Most demigods here do." Well, that solves it. It's bad enough I have a feeling that I don't even have a godly parent.

Honestly here, I still don't understand how they think I'm a demigod. I don't think I am. Then again, I didn't think the Greek Gods were real until now. It all seemed so unrealistic.

I was going to say something else until someone started walking towards us. He looked like the average teen but with more scratches and scars. I noticed how the boys' eyes had an ocean look in them, as it stood out to his dark black hair. "Hey, new kid, Chiron, the camp's activity director, wants you at the big house," the boy notified. I nodded my head. Oh boy.

He signaled me to follow him. I turned back to the group.

"See you guys later, I guess." I waved to them and they answered with the same motion. I heard a goodbye and reluctantly made my way to catch up to the boy.

I saw more interesting things on the walk. There was an arts and crafts place, which seemed pretty normal. I heard noises to the right of me, which sounded like construction work. I couldn't really see what was there, though. Then I saw a volleyball court. It felt like being back at school again. I love playing volleyball.

I noticed that the boy wasn't next to me anymore. Instead, he was a few feet ahead of me looking behind. He looked a little confused, and I could understand why. I shook the thoughts out of my head and went back over to him.

Once we were finally at the big house, we were greeted with a... centaur? Never mind.

"Ah, yes, I see you have brought her Percy." He thanked the boy.

"Percy, meet Jack. Jack, Percy." We both shook hands. So the boy's name was Percy, huh?

"Wait, how did you know my name was Jack?"

"I've been told," he replied. Fair enough.

He gestured us to come inside. We both sat down in the chairs at the table. Chiron sat down in front of us, in a very business-y manner.

"I'm aware that you might feel a little puzzled." A little was an understatement.

"But I have been informed that you are going to be sent on a quest." Quest? That sounds cool. But Percy looked concerned.

"Are you sure, sir? She hasn't even been here for over a day, technically. How will she survive?" Survive? Will I die? Chiron put his hand up.

"Lady Hecate has requested this, and we shall not deny it. Anyways, Percy, you will have to assist her on this quest." Percy jumped up from his chair.

"But Chiron, can't I have a break? I mean, It's only been a few weeks after we've defeated Gaea." I watched the two talk back and forth.

"This is not for me to choose, the goddess had specifically asked for you to come." Percy was about to say something else, but then sat down in defeat. Chiron then turned to me.

"Now, Jack. You may choose the last person to help you on this quest, as you are the leader of it." I thought about it, and I didn't know who I really wanted to bring. Then a spark lit in my head.

"Wait, so if there are Greek demigods, gods, and goddesses, that must mean there are others too, right? If so, I would like to be assisted with a Roman demigod, preferably a girl." Percy looked at me, his head tilted.

"Ah, but you see, there are certain things..." he paused.

"Oh, I guess I can arrange that. I'll Iris-message them to send someone over. Get up early tomorrow, that's when you're quest starts. Percy, remember to bring some drachmas." Chiron put his hand on my shoulder.

"And you should get some sleep. You look awfully tired."


Sorry for the late update, I just got a little carried away doing other things. PLEASE tell me if I made mistakes. It's been a little rushed and the writing is poorly done, so there must be some. Anyways, review time.

1. IcyFox17 - Thank you for another review and the encouragement! It really helps, trust me.
