I'm back with chapter two! Woo! Got anxious, so wrote two in one day. How lucky are you guys and gals? Very, that's how lucky. = )

Note: I noticed that I never used Hold my Heart by Tenth Avenue North in the first chapter. It will be used in later chapters for sure though, so look out for it.

Disclaimer: Connor: Banana Pudding is actually Rick Riordan.

Me: Yeah. And Connor doesn't steal things.........psh. (I'm not Rick Riordan.)

Chapter Two

I Meet the Swiping Twins and Get Claimed

Strolling along the path with Annabeth, I found myself looking up at astonishing cabins. Some of them were obvious who's cabins they were. For instance, the Poseidon cabin was constructed of sea stone and shells. My mouth found itself agape. "Who built these?" I asked, surprised.

"Well the first twelve by a different and unknown architect. The others were built by me." she beamed like a daughter of Apollo.

"Really?" I was flabbergasted. "So cool!"

"You think so?" she asked, blushing.

"Of course! Were there always this many?"

"Not until two years ago when Percy Jackson declared that all of the minor gods be recognized."

"Percy Jackson?"

"Yeah. He's my......." Just then, a boy with pitch-colored hair and sea green eyes ran up to Annabeth, kissing her on the cheek. Annabeth turned the shade of a cherry tomato.

"Hey Annabeth."

"My boyfriend." Annabeth finished.

"Aww!" I squealed like a fangirl. I was a sucker for love. "So adorable!"

The boy laughed. "Nice to meet you. I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon." People here just loved to shake hands, didn't they? I took his hand.

"Danielle Cooper, daughter of undetermined. Call me Coop."

"Cool nickname." He turned to his girlfriend. "Are we still on for tonight?"

"You bet," she said, then turned to me, asking with her eyes if it was okay.

"It's fine," I reassured her. "Go ahead. I'll be okay."

"Awesome." Percy exclaimed. "See you at eight." He hugged her, then jogged away.

Annabeth turned to me. "He can be such a Seaweed Brain." I laughed. "Now let's get you to the Hermes cabin.

Approaching the cabin, I found a caduceus above the door. The building appeared to very worn, the brown paint chipping and peeling in many places. Annabeth knocked on the door. Two boys,twins actually, answered the door.

"I'm Travis Stoll," the taller twin greeted.

"I'm Connor Stoll," the shorter one said.

"And we're the leaders of the Hermes cabin," they chanted like they'd been practicing it. I giggled, the significance of their last name dawning on me. They were children of Hermes, a thief, and their last name was Stoll.

I took both of their hands. "I'm Danielle Cooper."

"I'mma call you Coop, 'kay?" Connor (or was it Travis?No it was Connor.) stated.

"Sure," I chuckled. These guys struck me as hilarious. They led me into the cabin. I waved goodbye to Annabeth.

The boys led me to a bottom bunk, revealing my belongings already laying there. I blushed when I caught sight of my teddy bear, Mr. Snuggles, sitting there in plain view. I quickly thanked the boys and stashed the bear in my suitcase. Another boy in the room approached me. "You must be Coop. I'm Alvin." The boy had the same upturned eyebrows, blonde hair, and blue eyes that all the others in the room, but his features were painted more softly. In fact, at first glance, he made my heart skip a beat.

"N-nice to m-meet you." I awkwardly shook his head. Please let him be the same age as me! And please don't let him be my brother! I highly doubted that I was a daughter of Hermes considering my hair curly,black, and unruly, and my eyes were a deep shade of violet. Thank the gods.

"Well, it's time for supper. You comin'?" He held out his hand to me. I took it and stood up, taking the last spot in the line. Single file, we all made our way to the mess hall.

After scraping off a part of my food into the fire like the others, I took a random seat at a table with Annabeth. A bunch of other children with blonde hair and stormy eyes cocked their brows at me. I felt a hand on my arm tugging me to a table with the rest of the Hermes cabin. It was Alvin.

"Did no one tell you about the table system?" he questioned. I shook my head, embarrassed. "Each person sits with their cabin."

"Why?" I asked.

The whole table shrugged. I did too, and stuck my fork in my mashed potatoes.

Glancing around the outdoor mess hall, I located the Ares cabin, where two were arm wrestling and the others cheered each opponent on. The Athena cabin seemed to be discussing the Taj Mahal. The Demeter cabin sprouted flowers around their table with ease. I found one table strangely empty, only one child eating at it. From a distance, the kid looked like a girl, but a closer look told me the kid was a boy. His shaggy black hair was cut long, hitting the middle of his ear. He had olive skin and a frown on his face. A purple scar ran from his left eye down to his chin, almost looking like a teardrop. His onyx eyes filled with anger met mine. His frown faltered a bit, but soon returned to the same scowl he had on before. I looked away.

"Who's the boy sitting by himself?" I asked.

"That's Percy, son of Poseidon," Travis said matter-of-factly. I look at him confused. Sure enough, when I looked around, Percy was sitting alone.

"No. Not him. The one with the onyx eyes."

Connor paled a bit before answering. "That's the son of Hades. If I were you, I wouldn't get on his bad side."

"As a matter of fact," Travis said, "don't talk to him at all. That boy spells trouble."

I gulped. "Maybe he's just misunderstood." Travis shook his head no.

"Ever since his sister died when he was ten, he's been pretty distant. The only people he really talks to are Annabeth and Percy." I suddenly lost my appetite. If that guy spelled trouble, I didn't want to meet him.

Suddenly, I felt everyones eyes on me. "What?" I asked. "Do I have something in my teeth." A few kids chuckled. Mr. D walked up to me.

"Look up," he told me, more pleasantly than I had ever heard him. Of course, I'd only heard him once. I decided to obey and looked up. I found a glowing purple grape vine above my head, slowing fading away. For the first time, I saw Dionysus smiled.

"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, my daughter.

So?????? Didja like it? Please review.
