Chapter 7

After the whole bathroom debacle everyone was whispering thinking I couldn't hear them but I could. I just went back to my cabin and someone showed by my spot. It wasn't even really a place to sleep. I was wedged between a dresser and a bed. Only a foot and a half in between them. I still had my shoe box with the Minotaur's horn in it. I sat down with by back against the wall staring at the chitter chatter of all the campers.
Luke appeared in front of me with a backpack in his hand.

"Hey I stole you some things from the camp store. Like toiletries and stuff although if you need anything that isn't in here just ask." He handed me the pack.

"Thanks." I told him taking the bag in my hands. It was the first sincerely nice thing someone had done for me while my stay here.

"I know it isn't much but it's home right?" He shrugged

"Yeah"

"Not much of a talker I see. Well we have dinner in a few so I think you will like that."

I watched everyone in the cabin milling about and getting ready for dinner. All of a sudden a conch shell resounded through the camp and everyone lined up in amount time spent at camp meaning I was dead last. We all walked to the mess hall which was more of a pavilion and Luke leading the group. We all sat down and Luke gestured for me to sit next to him. My but was half off the seat but everyone was laughing and having a grand old time. Food suddenly appeared on the table in front of us. We all passed around the food in a family dinner style. I was about to dig in when everyone got up and lined up to the brazer.

"Its an offering." Luke whispered in my ear "To the gods. Give a portion of your food and if you want you can say a little prayer."

When it was my turn I put a piece of my brisket in it and quickly begged my father whoever it was to claim me. Sitting down we all continued to eat our food until Chiron stood up and announced that capture the flag would be that night.

Going back to the cabin we all started to get ready. I sat in my corner ready to sleep. It was cramped but I finally felt safe. Luke came by be and got in the bed next to my floor space.

"Good night Percy. You're going to love camp I know it."

I turned over and had my first nights sleep at camp.

The week went by with Annabeth training me in Greek in the morning. She didn't seem that bad we started to get along more. I had picked up on her mini crush on Luke and teased her relentlessly about it.

Today was my first day of sword training. I was kind of excited hoping that I would be somewhat good at it since everything else I sucked at. The only thing I wasn't completely crap at was canoeing which isn't the best thing for a hero. I couldn't run every time I tried I would be left in the dust by the nymphs. They tried not to let me get discouraged by telling me they had hundreds of years of practice by running away from lustful gods. I couldn't even wrestle because every time I got up on the mat the Ares cabin would take me down in a heartbeat. Although they said I lasted longer than most. Archery was a horrible idea. The first time I tried Chiron ended up haveing an arrow sticking out of his tail. No one could pinpoint who my dad was. Luke told me I might be a daughter of Hermes jack of all trades and that but I could tell he wasn't sure either.

Entering the Arena where the class was held with the rest of the Hermes cabin they all picked up their sword. I couldn't find one that actually worked for me since all of them were too long or too light or too heavy. None of them actually worked but I got one that was good enough. It was a bit heavy but what's a girl going to do.

"Ok everyone who want to by my punching bag I mean helping me demonstrate?" Luke asked

Everyone averted their eyes and looked anywhere but at him. Luke's blue eyes landed onto me.

"Percy why don't you help" He called me up

I left from where everyone was sitting on the sidelines and shakily walked up to him. I have no idea how to do any of this.

"Ok guys I'm going to teach you a disarming maneuver. It goes like this."

He explained all the steps on how you apply pressure on the other person's blade and then twist your wrists so the other sword twist with it. Showing us and using me as the other person with the sword he disarmed me really quickly. My sword clattering onto the ground.

Telling us to pair up using me as his partner I tried to practice it with fighting also but every time he would make my blade fall out of my hand. After about a half an hour I was drenched in sweat. Luke had poured some water over his head and it honestly looked wonderful. I did the same and automatically felt recharged.

"Okay guys gather round. Me and Percy are going to demonstrate this move by incorporating it into an actual duel."

My eyes widened. I was going to go down in a second. I got ready for the fight anyway. We had started and I was doing better than I thought. I was blocking every single one of his blows and being able to get a few in as well.

I started to predict some of his moves. I don't even know where half the things I did came from. All I was thinking was block parry stab block dodge. Just over and over. My energy I had before the fight was slowly draining and I knew it was now or never. I attempted the disarming maneuver and I put all my strength left into the move and then all of a sudden Luke's sword clattered to the ground in a resounding clang.

Everyone was in shock. I had just disarmed their greatest swordsman.

"Let's do that again." Luke told me.

I didn't feel like I had the energy to do it again but I brought my sword up anyway. We started and about thirty seconds in I was disarmed. People around me started whispering about beginners luck.

Luke looked deep in thought. Turning to me he said "I wonder what you would be capable of with a sword that is weighted correctly"
