I was in the infirmary sitting next to Will's hospital bed. He had a couple of broken ribs from being stepped on and a minor concussion. A couple of kids checked on me but I only had a bump on my head.
"Oh Will, I am so sorry," I muttered.
"Do not fret young one, he will heal," a voice said. I turned around and saw a man in a wheel chair, he had brown eyes, brown hair, and a beard. His voice was gentle and reassuring, " I am Chiron, the camp director. May I speak to you in private," Chiron lowered his gaze onto Will. He waited patiently for me to follow him, once we left the room and entered a room full of music, he finally stopped and turned to look at me. "Have you ever heard of the Greek gods?"
"You mean like Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite and stuff?"
"Yes, well I don't know how to but this. But the Greek gods are real," Chiron added, " And the reason you are here is because you are a demigod."
" Wait, what? And what are demigods?" This news surprised me... the gods were real? Did that mean that all the tales were real too? And what about the monsters?
" I know this is shocking but they are real, and demigods are the children of a god and a human. So they are half god," Chiron stated.
" Then what god is my parent?" When I asked this he seemed to tense, but that didn't stop me from wondering.
" Well when a demigod first arrives at camp the godly parent is unknown until he or she is claimed. When a demigod is claimed, their godly parent states that the demigod is their child," Chiron explained.
After Chiron explained the basics of the camp and the activities. He also told me that new demigods stayed in the Hermes cabin until they were claimed, and that was where he was leading me. After he explained everything he took his true form as a centaur, which surprised me of course. Chiron led me through the camp past the volley ball courts, the arts & crafts building, the amphitheater, the climbing wall, mass hall, the cabins, the arena, the armory, the dinning pavilion,the stables, the forgeries, and then led me back to the cabins.
Chiron and I entered the Hermes cabin, and when we did the campers stopped with what they were doing and stared. Chiron cleared his throat and everyone proceeded with what they were doing before, but the hint was taken: I was fresh meat. Chiron looked at me and said, " I will give you your schedule tonight at the dinning pavilion," he then turned to the other campers and said, " This is Layla Baker, treat her with respect. Travis, Conner! You make sure she knows where she is going," and with that he left the cabin, leaving me behind scared and alone.
I suddenly felt an arm wrap around me and I turned my head to find myself looking into bright blue eyes. " Hey there, I'm Travis co-captain of the Hermes cabin. And this here," he pointed to another boy that looked just like him and said, " is my brother Conner. But of course I am the better looking one," he winked. I shrugged out of his grip but he still didn't get the hint, because he took hold of my hand and led me to an empty bed with an orange T-shirt that said Camp Half-Blood and right next to the shirt was a suitcase... my suitcase. I looked into the suitcase and all the clothes I packed and even more strait out of my closet were in there, thank the gods.
I looked back up at Travis and said, " Where is a bathroom? I need to take a shower." he pointed over to the other side of the room. I picked up my suitcase and carried it over to the bathroom.
After I was done showering and blow drying my hair- yep my endless suitcase had everything- I put on some makeup and walked out of the bathroom. Again everyone was staring at me but this time it was different, I didn't feel vulnerable now. Travis came up to me and couldn't keep his eyes off me, so with this I cleared my throat. He seemed to recover himself when he said, " Its dinner time," then he turned towards the other campers, " Line up people!" he then led me to where Conner was and left me with him while Travis went to the front of the cabin.
We started filing out of the room towards the dinning pavilion, when I finally was able to see the pavilion I gasped. The bonfire was huge- I mean it was BIG, the flames were really bright and high. And the tables around the bonfire were filled, the last table to be filled was the Hermes cabin. Once we were all seated our food was served, and one by one the cabins each sacrificed a part of their meal. Soon everyone was eating, to make things easier for me some of my cabin mates tried to start a conversation with me at first it was very awkward but by the end of the meal I was comfortable. This is where I belong.
