Chapter 4

We walked out of the Hermes cabin in a line.

"Where are we going?" I asked Luke

"Dinner," He said.

"Oh,"

"Hey," He said. "Did you kick Percy's butt?"

I laughed. "You can say that."

"Good."

When we got there, I saw twelve wood tables organizing like the cabins, and five more. Maybe for each cabin. Anyway, there were three tables where nobody sat. Percy sat alone. Probably Poseidon table. That girl he was in love with, Annabeth, sat with eight other kids that looked like her. Athena table, of course. And Clarisse, the show off, sat in the Ares table with her bullies.

We sat down in another wooden table.

"So this is the Hermes table," Said Luke. "Thirsty?"

"Um… Well, actually… Yes." I looked down.

He smiled. "OK. What do you like?" He asked.

"Uh…" I thought. "Strawberry coke. No, wait. I want a blue one."

Luke's smile turned, again, to a worried expression. "Blue? Why blue?"

"Because… It's my favorite color?"

"Oh. So just pick up your glass, and ask for it."

I picked up my glass. "Blue strawberry coke, please," My glass filled up with my favorite drink in my favorite color. Kind creepy, don't you think? My eyes widened. "Magical glasses?"

"No. Magical place," He smiled.

I smiled, too.

The meal was amazing. I didn't eat suck good food for a long time. I ate a stake and potato mash. I didn't finish everything.

"Wow, I'm full," I rubbed my stomach.

"Alright. Take the leftovers, and throw it in the fire. It's a gift. For the gods. They enjoy the smell." He told me, and threw his. He closed his eyes. Then he opened them.

"Are you serious?" Believe me, I tried to smell burned food once, and the smell wasn't the best.

"Yeah."

"OK. Whatever you say. So who should I give it?" I don't really know who my godly parent is.

"Oh, right. You don't know who your godly parent is. Just throw it in the fire.

I looked at the leftovers. If my parent likes the smell, I want him to enjoy it. So I threw it in and thought If you're here… Can you give me a sign? Suddenly, I smelled an ocean breeze. My favorite smell. That's weird.

"Good. Let's go," Said Luke.

I followed him to the Hermes cabin. A cabin I knew wasn't mine.
