Once we crossed the border near the giant pine tree, the dragon attacked us. We were tried and about to fall asleep. So we ran away a few yards away so the dragon would leave us alone. I ended up running down the hill because the dragon came after me for a few yards then left me alone. Then out of pure clumsiness I ran into a girl (who look a lot like me exact more girly obviously) When I got a good look from her I noticed that she had bloodshot eyes for crying I guessed. I noticed this when she had her knife to my throat. She looked up to see Erik holding his bow aimed at her chest.

"What do you people want?" she said very unhappy.

"For you to let my friend go." Erik said through gritted teeth. As she put her knife away, I stood up and went by Erik who had just shortly put his bow down.

"We are half-bloods; I am Nick a son of Athena, Erik son of Apollo and Mike a son of Hermes."I said calmly. She looked at Mike in surprise. "You look a lot… like…Luke." she said.

"Yeah we know this because he recruited us but Mike here set Greek fire to it which was all apart of my plan." We all were getting very tired so she told us to follow her to see the Chiron. So after a few minutes of walking we met the Chiron from the olds stories. All any of us could say was "are you the Chiron?" over and over again and he would answer yes over and over again. The girl Annabeth I later learned was her name told us to tell Chiron our story he told us to spend the night in the Big House and for Annabeth to go to bed and tomorrow morning to have a tour of the place.

THE NEXT MORNING

The next morning I went looking for Erik so I would not have to go on the tour of Camp half-blood. I found him talking to Chiron, when they saw me walking up to them they stopped the conversation. Then Chiron called Annabeth and the air shimmered behind Erik, and Annabeth appeared stuffing a New York Yankees cap in her back pocket. I just stood there with my mouth in the shape of and O. She looked at me weird and said a little creeped out "what's wrong Nick?... Nick?... Nick?!"she said angrily.

"Wa what?"I said.

"Do you want to come with Erik and I on the tour?"

"yes I would let's go."After going everywhere but the cabins and the pegasi stables, a girl came out from behind the stables that looked horrible and was smelly.

"Good campers…Good" she said smiling evilly.(I know she would not do this so soon after BOTL)She made a grab for Erik and me but little did she know that we had our weapons.
Erik had his bow out and ready, I had my sword out and ready for her, but she also had a tick up her sleeve. She had her spear aimed at my chest. She obviously wanted a fight so I gave her one. "you want a fight?" I asked quite quickly.

"No I want to do you initiation for this camp." she replied

"Clarisse." Annabeth sighed.

"No Annabeth its fine I want her to try." I said. I motioned for Erik to lower his bow. Clarisse told me to meet her at the sword arena at 3:00, which gave me an hour. We finished the tour and went to the Athena cabin to get me a bunk. There were only two bunks left she told me so I took one. Then I noticed that it was almost 3:00. So I went to the sword arena and got a little sweat on me. Then at 3:00 Clarisse turned up. I had my sword in hand and my shield on. She took out her spear and a shield. I didn't notice a lot of people were there. Then I heard a "Nick" be called I looked around and noticed that Annabeth was telling me to watch out for her spear. I nodded in her direction. Then as I turned around, I heard a battle cry. I saw Clarisse charging me. I also ran at her and when she was, only a few yards away I swung my sword in a deep but low arch. When my sword came up, she deflected my blow. She jabbed at my stomach but I jumped over her jab and kicked her spear to the ground. I then as fast as lightning I kicked her to the ground. I had my sword to her neck but I felt a sharp edge on my stomach I looked down and notice her spear tip to my stomach. A tie I thought to myself. When Annabeth and I were walking away, she kept murmuring to herself

"Wow…you fight a lot…like…Luke and…Percy." once I just had about but I did not show it so I said scratching my head "Yeah about that Luke trained me personally sometimes."

Then after several days she left. Then I learned when Percy was coming to the camp.
