I CONFUSE EVERYONE
I woke up to see I was in a hospital bed with curtains on both sides of the bed in a strange wooden cabin. I was about to get up when I saw the girl who almost ran me over she was talking to two people around twenty, a girl with sandy blonde hair and stormy grey eyes that made her look older, next to her was a boy with jet black hair and ocean green eyes both were wearing orange T-shirts.
I overheard them talking "he is way too old the gods were supposed to keep their promise" said the boy.
"do you know anything else Jessica like why he was in the middle of nowhere".
I didn't want them to see me so I quietly got up but before I stand up I saw a man with blonde hair and tanned skin, he looked like a surfer but he was staring at me with all a hundred of his eyes they were everywhere on his arms, legs, face, and maybe even under his clothes, I tried to say something but all that came out was.
"Um... eyes" when I said that the three looked at me and walk over to me.
"good you're awake we need to take you to Chiron" said the boy but I was still staring at the man with the eyes.
"don't worry about Argus he friendly," said the girl with the grey eyes "Jessica you can go back to your cabin" .
"okay bye Percy Bye Annabeth" said Jessica while leaving.
"what's going on" I said.
"Chiron will explain" Percy said.
when we went outside to see a camp with tons of cabins that were all different one a house of glowing stones, one blood red, and one with sea shells on it.
"welcome to Camp Half-Blood" said Annabeth.
we walk through camp to a big blue building, on the way a few people would look at me and whispers which made me feel embarrassed, when we got close two men were at a table the man on the left had brown curling hair and beard and he was in a wheelchair the man on the right was brightly colored he had black hair he wore a leopard skin shirt with purple running shorts, they were playing a card game with each other but the two other decks were floating and play by themselves the man on the left was the only one to notice us.
"hello Blake Williams it is nice to meet you," he said "my name is Chiron and I see you met Percy and Annabeth".
"how did you know my name" I said.
"your mother told me she said she glad you made to camp" he said.
"my mom knew about this place why didn't she tell me" I said .
"I will explain everything," he said "Percy, Annabeth tell the senior councillors there will be a meeting later".
"yes Chiron" both saying at the same time which made them blush a little, and then leaving holding hands.
"sorry Mr.D but I need-" he stop to see Mr.D was gone and what was left was a smell of grapes "that is strange I guess he needed to do regent business, come with me Blake".
Chiron told me everything titans, gods, goddesses, monsters, and demigods he told me about Percy, the seven, and the two wars. After we were done it was dark, everyone was in a small rec room with a ping pong table, microwave, and a hot plate which was now making a slice of pizza.
Everyone there were different ages from my age to twenty and everyone looked different some were buff some were skinny, I saw some of the seven Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel and Leo who wasn't paying attention he was messing around with metal scraps while a girl in a white dress stared at him annoyed. I also saw Haley she had a bow over her shoulder which made her look hotter, when we came everyone looked at me, I didn't like attention I want to leave and get away from this place.
"Blake tell everyone one what happened" Chiron said
I told them about Miss Green and about the man in the cloak and the children then about how I escaped, after I was done everyone had confused looks on their faces, Percy and Jason looked at each other weirdly, Annabeth looked like she was trying to solve a puzzle but was missing pieces, Leo even stopped messing around with his scraps, everyone looked to Chiron but he was also confused as everyone else then he spoke.
"Travis and Connor take Blake to the Hermes cabin," Chiron said stopping them from stealing wallets from everyone that was confused, they look at each other and nodded "and Blake keep a hand on your possessions their children of the thief god". We walked out the room with some more strange looks and on the way Travis and Connor would walk faster away from me like I would exploded any minute.
Soon we came to a white cabin with a staff with two snakes going around it, there was a lot of kids inside I remember Chiron told me any kid not claimed by their godly parent they stay here but Percy made the gods promised to claim their children by age twelve.
It was almost lights out, so everyone was at their beds by the time I got there. There was one bed left, lucky me, it didn't take long to get ready I didn't have anything but the clothes I was wearing and some money. I fell asleep from my exhausting and crazy day, I dreamt about the man in the cloak, I was in the room that I first saw him, it was pitch black with only one light on and the man was standing there as ancient and powerful as I met him.
"No matter the friends you meet," he said in his dry raspy voice "you will still be destruction's weapon".
I tried screaming no, but nothing came out, then smoke gathered around me and the man with the fiery eyes started laughing.
I woke up and saw something reaching for me, I grabbed it and when my I adjusted it was Connor trying to grab in to my pocket.
"sorry," he said after I let go of his hand "um we need to go do are activities".
Connor gave me some camp clothes, a orange T-shirts with Camp Half-Blood on it. My cabin mates and I went to the archery field that Chiron was teaching.
"Welcome students" Chiron said
Chiron was watching me and telling me tips to archery. I aimed my bow at the target and I closed my eyes and let the arrow fly, when I opened my eyes to see I got a bullseye.
"Very good Blake, it is surprising to see a bullseye for your first time, even for a child of Apollo" Chiron said while clapping.
next we went to sword practice which Percy and Jason was teaching. Jason was at the other end of the arena training half the Hermes kids.
"Okay we're going to learn the disarming technique, um Blake how but you help me" Percy said while the Hermes cabin snickered.
I didn't like when everyone laughed at me. I picked up a sword but it didn't seem right, it wasn't the right weight. I got ready and Percy came at me I blocked his first attack and I swung low, but Percy brought my sword up and I could see him twist his sword, but I twisted it back and hit his sword hilt and sent it flying away.
Everyone was stunned including me, everyone was silent but Percy finally spoke "wow um nice job, um class dismissed".
after sword training it was lunch, we went to the dining pavilion on the way everyone was staring at me like I did something bad, they talked about me which made me feel angry.
When we got there everyone sitting at their cabins table except for the senior councillors table that Annabeth made so the councillors can talk and be close. I didn't feel like eating, everyone would stare at me and talk behind my back, and no one at my table sat by me, they kept their distance.
In the corner of my eye I could see Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Hazel, and Frank staring at me in confusion while Leo and Calypso, that I heard about her around camp, they fiddling with metal which was in the shape of a wing. Annabeth still had that confused look she had yesterday while Percy and Jason were talking.
It made me angry that everyone thinks I did something, I wanted to leave this stupid camp and go back home to my mom, that though made me angrier, I was about to get up when a conch horn blow then Chiron spoke.
"Today we will be having our annual capture the flag," everyone cheered especially Are's cabin "and the leaders are Percy of Poseidon's cabin and Clarisse of Are's cabin" Are's table cheered again. Percy and Clarisse each held a flag, Percy's was a blue flag with a trident, Clarisse's was a red flag with a boar and a spear.
Travis and Connor told everyone that Percy has allied with Athena's cabin, Jason from Zeus cabin, Aphrodite cabin, Hephaestus cabin, us Hermes cabin which Percy probably did to keep an eye on me, and a few other cabins.
Annabeth told everyone the plan "Percy and Jason will sneak through enemy territory while everyone separate their forces and Hermes and Aphrodite cabins will guard the flag".
"actually I want Blake to come with us," Percy said "to teach him" I knew he did that to talk to me. Annabeth was about to say something but she agreed.
"okay so does everyone got it" everyone nodded.
