I do not own any of the Percy Jackson and the olympians character!

Camp Half-Blood A New Adventure

Chapter 2- Things get weirder

The forest grew thicker as we continued walking forward. There were strange voices coming from each direction, and every now and then a shiver was sent through my spine. I stayed back a few feet from Thalia and Percy, mostly because I couldn't keep up with either of them.

Thalia slowed down to my pace and walked beside me, "You know what they are talking about?" She asked.

I looked at her, "What do you mean?" I knew very well that she was talking about the voices I kept hearing.

She sighed, "The talking. They are tree nymphs and they are talking about you."

I laughed, "Why would they be talking about me?"

Percy turned around and smiled, "We're here." He turned back around and disappeared behind the brush. I swallowed, not sure whether to be excited or nervous about arriving at Camp Half-Blood. I slowly walked through the opening, and pushed the limbs aside. I looked around before stepping fully out from behind the brush, seeing nothing out of the ordinary.

"This is Camp?" I asked. "It looks like any other camp," I mumbled to myself. But that was before I actually looked around.

The first thing I saw was the thirteen cabins surrounding a courtyard. The courtyard held many statues and a huge fountain right in the middle. It was fantastic. To the left of the cabins were another, smaller, circle of cabins.

"How many kids can this place hold?" I asked in amazement.

Percy was smiling, "Plenty of kids. Now before you look around we should probably go see Chiron. He will explain all about who you really are."

I nodded and followed Percy through the courtyard. The statues were astounding. I could actually make out a few of the people, including a huge one of Zeus. We continued walking, leaving the statues behind, and came up to a house.

"What do you use this for?" I looked up at the towering building.

"This is where Chiron works and lives." Percy said knocking on the door. "By the way, don't look too surprised when you see him."

"Why," I looked at Percy.

"Let's just say he has four legs." He smiled and knocked again.

The door opened and a middle aged man rolled out in a wheel chair. I frowned, "Percy, you know when you said four legs I didn't think you meant he was in a wheel chair."

"I didn't think he…"

"Well," Chiron interrupted, "You must be Daniel." I looked up at me smiling.

"Yea, and you must be Chiron." I reached out my hand for him to shake.

"And Percy, Why don't you and Thalia go tell Annebeth Daniel's here, she wants to meet him."

Percy nodded and him and Thalia left, leaving Chiron and me alone. "Come in Daniel, take a seat in my office." I walked in, and sat in one of the two chairs as Chiron took his place behind his desk.

"Um, sir?" I asked nervously.

"Yes Daniel?" He smiled at me politely.

"Why did Percy say… Well he said you had four legs."

He laughed, "Because I do Daniel. This chair, its only a disguise. I wasn't sure whether or not you were ready for something so big."

"Dude… I mean sir. I think I can handle it." I looked at him, waiting for him to show his real self.

He stood up, leaving the wheel chair on the floor. Percy was right, he had four legs. But not human legs, horse legs. I stared, unsure what to say. He was a freaking horse!

"This is only the beginning Daniel. I'm a Centaur- half horse and half human." I stared, becoming a little dizzy. He looked at me with concern.

"I'm… I'm ok," I stammered. "What could be worse than a horse dude?"

He looked a little hurt, "I'm a centaur. Not a horse dude, Daniel. Anyway, There are much worse things than this. You are a half-blood Daniel; a demi-god in training. But you're different than any other camper here." He took out a file and looked through it.

"That's what Percy and Thalia had been telling me, but they never told me why. What makes me so different than any of you?" I waited for him to finish reading.

"Daniel, do you have a mom and a dad?"

I stared at him as though he was crazy, "Of course I have a mom and a dad, what does that have to do with anything?"

He looked up from the files he held in his hand, "Have you ever been adopted?"

I sighed, "No. And again, what does this have to do with anything?"

"Daniel do you believe in the Olympians? You know… the Greek Gods?"

I stared at him, "No. I mean I don't even know much about them."

Chiron nodded and looked back down at the files, "And how many schools have you destroyed so far?"

I groaned, "I haven't destroyed any schools, these weird creatures always seem to… pop up anywhere I am. Like those Cyclopes did, and THEY destroy the school. Not me." Chiron laughed.

"I'm serious! And I always get blamed for all the damage." I looked down at my hands.

Chiron stopped laughing and laid the files down, "I believe you Daniel. This happens to almost all half-bloods."

I looked back up at him, "Half-Bloods?"

"Yes. You have godly blood in you… I think." Chiron picked up the files once more, reading hastily. "But if you're parents, as you say, are your real parents I don't see how you can possibly be a half-blood." Wrinkles on his forehead were creased in concentration.

"Wait, is that why you asked me if I believed in the Greek Gods?" He ignored me and continued reading.

Just then the door burst open and a girl came in. Percy came in after her, "Annabeth, wait!" He stopped in the doorway.

The girl Annabeth stared at me for what seemed like forever, "Is this the boy?"

Chiron looked up, "Yes, this is Daniel Robinson. Daniel this is Annabeth Chase." He seemed tired and a little disappointed. "Why don't you show Daniel around. Explain to him about who he might be." He stood up and smiled at me, "I hope we soon find out more about you Daniel."

I stood up and nodded, "I hope so too sir." I turned and walked past Annabeth and Percy, and out onto the porch of the big house. Percy and Annabeth followed close behind, seeing that Chiron wasn't feeling well.

I stopped at the bottom step, "So your Annabeth?" I looked at her more closely. She had dark blond hair, light gray eyes, and a beautiful smile.

She blushed, "Yea, and you're the famous Daniel?"

Percy rolled his eyes, "Annabeth come on." He sounded a little annoyed.

"What?" Asked Annabeth innocently.

I stared at both of them, "Why don't we go take a look around camp?" I stepped down the last step a little uncomfortable.

Annabeth sighed, "Fine. Did Chiron talk to you about… the Gods?"

"Yea, a little."

"Did he tell you that they are fighting over you?" She smiled at me.

"What? Listen this is a little too much for one night."

She stepped closer to me, "The weird thing is that you can't be any of their sons! I mean you have parent right?"

I stepped back, "Well then maybe they made a mistake."

She laughed, "Gods never make mistakes. Even Artemis is fighting over you! And she can't have

children."

Percy stepped in, "Let's go show him around camp." He smiled at me and grabbed Annabeth's arm. "Come on I'll take you to my cabin. It will be safe there."

"Safe?"

Percy smiled, "Yea. There are some people here who will either really like you or will want to tear you into shreds."

I frowned a bit, "I thought you said this was the only safe place for me." He laughed and lead the way to his cabin.

Hey, sorry its been a while i've been really busy (a friend passed away). Anyway, Thanks for the reviews! Tell me what you think of this chapter.
