If you are a Half-blood who has no idea of the Percy Jackson books when you come to camp, you can safely say that it is cooler than anything you have ever done. If you are a Percy Jackson fan and you come to camp, you nearly have a heart attack.
When Jen drove my dad's car into a tree, thanks a lot Jen, and ran out of the car, I just sat there staring at Half-blood hill. It was just how I imagined it: a hill with a tree on top! I could've stared at it all day and just be satisfied with that, but Jen wanted to get me to camp as soon as possible. Right before we left, I glanced back and noticed that my school backpack was there, which also happened to hold my entire collection of Percy Jackson books. I picked it up and swung it over my shoulder, and then Jen pulled me out of the car. She pulled me to the top of the hill. Beyond the hill looked like a lot of nothingness before we stepped past the tree, but after we stepped past the tree, I shrieked in joy.
Beyond Thalia's used-to-be tree, there was everything that I dreamed of: 12 cabins, the big house, the archery range, the strawberry fields, the forest, and so much more, but my ADHD lost the ability to concentrate on the rest of the stuff.
"Chiron will be so happy that I found another half-blood," said Jen as we got on the porch of the big house. Jen and I walked around to the side of the building to see two guys playing a card game. One of them was short and fat, and the other on was middle aged and in a wheelchair. It was pretty obvious who these guys were.
I wanted to speak, but I couldn't make the word come out. I just stood there with my mouth opened. Jen walked up to Chiron. "I found another one," said Jen.
Chiron nodded and rolled over to me. Jen stopped him. "You can walk, sir. She's read the books."
Chiron smiled. "Ah, a fan, I see. Percy will be happy to hear that."
"Yes, sir," said Jen
"Any idea who her parent is?" asked Chiron.
"This is the most obvious one yet. One look at her eyes and grade point average, and it hits you like a brick."
"Athena, I'm guessing then?" said Chiron.
Jen nodded. Chiron stepped out of his wheelchair, revealing his white body of a horse and gave me a warm smile. "Alright then," he said. "I suppose you know where everything is if you read those books."
I nodded. It was all I could do. Funny, this was one of the first times I have ever been speechless.
"Okay, I suppose that we should introduce you to your cabin." He said as he started towards the twelve cabins. I walked behind him, wondering if I would ever be able to speak again. I found out as soon as we got to the cabin.
When Chiron told me to go into the cabin, I opened the doors and screamed. Sitting in the center of the room was a girl with long blonde hair and gray eyes. It could've been any daughter of Athena, but what gave away her identity was that she was sitting at a table with miniature models of buildings, and she was typing at a laptop with the mark of Daedalus. As soon as I had screamed, though, every person in the room stood up and grabbed a weapon. Even one kid ran out of the bathroom with a tube of toothpaste over held his head like a club.
Chiron laughed. "False alarm, everyone. She's knew and she's read the books."
Everyone in the room let out their breath as if they wee disappointed that a good fight got away so easily. A couple of people went back to their stuff, and a few came to talk to me, including Annabeth.
"Hi!" said Annabeth enthusiastically. "I'm Annabeth, and I'm the leader of this cabin, but I'm sure you already know that much and more."
I nodded. "I'm Amanda."
Annabeth smiled. We looked a lot alike only I was 12 and she was 16. I looked around the cabin. There were people from 7 to 17. It looked like one freakishly large happy family.
"Well," said Annabeth, "Are you coming in or are you just going to stand in the doorway all day."
"Oh yeah," I said, feeling stupid.
Annabeth laughed. "Come on," she said, "I'll show you your bunk.."
I went inside and followed Annabeth to a bottom bunk. It had a blue blanket and a pillow, and it looked like a lot of the other beds in here. "Got anything to personalize it?" asked Annabeth.
I shook my head. Annabeth raised her eyebrow skeptically. "What's in that backpack?" she asked.
Come to think of it, what was in my backpack? I took it off and opened it up. Inside of it was my whole Percy Jackson book series, my doodle notebook, and two of my writing notebooks. I guess that I forgot to tell you, I want to be a novelist when I'm older. I've already started writing a few books.
"That stuff belongs on your work table," said Annabeth. Then she slapped herself in the forhead. "Oh, duh! I forgot to give you a work table," she said, and began to walk towards a bare looking table. It was wooden, made of oak by the looks of it, and it had a few drawers and a cup of pencils.
After I set my notebooks on the table, I pulled out the books. Annabeth stared at them wide-eyed. "You brought the books with you?"she asked.
I nodded. "Yeah," I said, "You wanna borrow them?"
Annabeth shook her head. "I can't," she said, "Percy made me swear upon the River Styx that I would never read them."
I thought for a moment, and then I noticed her laptop. "Does your laptop have internet?" I asked her.
Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "Yeah," she said, "I think so."
I smiled. "Can I see that computer for a second?"
Annabeth shrugged. "Sure."
I picked up the computer and opened an internet browser. This was going to be so much fun. I smiled as I logged into my account on Fan fiction. net.
