Hey all! Sorry I've been silent with this story for the past few months, I'm hoping to get in a weekly update schedule. I hope you enjoy this weeks chapter.

Disclamer: I don't own PJ or HoO.

Irene nocks on the door to my room, "Hey Amber, dinner is ready were going to start walking down. You coming?" I nod my head and quickly put my journal away, eager to get some food in my stomach. I hope the camp's food is good and home cooked. Since mom died I've haven't had a decent meal, nor have i had a family. Sure I've had my Father in my life for the first time ever but he wasn't even that fatherly, probably because he's a greek god. An Olympian for goodness sake, and they all have a terrible habit of forgetting about their children, whether their minor or major. It's like they think they're all too high and mighty to even care. It's atrocious.

I start heading to the dinning pavilion where i meet up with the rest of my cabin. I sit down next to Irene just as the food is being served. Wood nymphs bring patters of fruit, salads, stake and bread rolls for each table. I start filling my plate full of my favourite things, I am then just about to take a bite of my watermelon when John taps on my shoulder. I look up and realise everyone is walking to the fire pit in the centre of the pavilion. I quickly stand up and follow them with my tray of food. As i stand up i realise people are scraping some of there food into the fire. I look towards my brother with a look of confusion on my face, he smiles and informs me that we are giving offerings to the gods. I watch John as he scrapes some of his food into the fire while saying our fathers name. I decide that my best option is to do the same thing so i toss some grapes into the fire saying 'Hephaestus'.

Once i'm seated back in my seat i ask John why we are burning our food as offerings, because to me that seems like a waste of perfectly good food.

"They like the smell" is the only answer I get. I then sit there in silence while my siblings all engage in conversation. Im only brought back into reality when Chiron stands up and asks for our attention.

Mr D then rolls his eyes and gets up, "Hello campers, just because i have to this is to inform you all that we be having our annual chariot races next week on Wednesday, and we have a new camper today, Alissa March shes in the Hephaestus cabin so everyone be nice to her tomorrow."

Chiron leans over and whispers something to the camp director who then corrects himself. "Erm... Sorry that would be Amber Mayfield, i apologise. Anyways everyone out of here, go enjoy your silly camp fire."

I look toward my siblings a little confused about what just happened. Apparently thats normal and Mr D doesn't know anyones name.

We quickly finish our dinner and head over to the bon fire pit ready for s'mores.

October 27th, 1937

Last night was one of the best nights I've had in a while. I finally felt like i was starting to belong. I not only grew closer to my newly found siblings over singing about how Grandma puts on her armer but i also made some friends with the other campers who are my age. Im going to introduce you to them all.

Firstly there's Courtney-Rose she's a daughter of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. She's from Denver, Colorado, she's a full year camper and her family has just recently moved to Australia.

Next there's Rhys son of Ares, god of war. He's really nice, turns out not of kids from cabin 6 are very kind, so I'm glad I'm his friend.

Then there's Damian and Riley, sons of Zeus, god of the sky and king of the gods. There cool and so is there sister Rahera. Rah is actually from New Zealand and Riley is from England. There accents are so cool.

Another member of our group is Samantha she's a daughter of Poseidon, she has really cool powers she's also from New York so even though her family is close by she prefers to stay here year round. Her brother Jordan is also apart of our newly found friend group.

Finally there's Mia, she's a daughter of Hermes. Her and Courtney-Rose are the best of friends there is no splitting them apart. I wish i had a best friend that close but i guess that with our newly found friendship we will become that close.

But for the time being i just hope we last because as I've been told many times lately being a demigod is dangerous and can get you killed or injured both physically and mentally in many painful ways. So lets try to stay alive for the time being.

Until tomorrow,

Amber Mayfield
