Chapter 4: Meeting Other Campers
"Wait, aren't you the wine dude?" Nico asked Mr. D.
"If another person or horse calls me that, they'll end up in a bottle of Merlot!" Mr. D responded.
"Why are you working here?" I asked him.
"Your Uncle Zeus sent me here as a punishment. A punishment indeed, spending time with such fledglings. Why not an adult camp? At least there, they aren't underage and can drink the wine I make, instead of Diet Coke." Mr. D said.
"Why don't we, uh, head inside, before we end up being turned into wine?" Emily suggested.
Ooh look, a line!
The inside of the Big House was amazing. It was wide, and nicely air conditioned. There was a big cheetah hanging on the wall above the fireplace. I bet Mr. D wasn't too happy of that. There was a stairway leading up to the ceiling. I guess that was the attic.
"Emily, well done, your work will be noted. You may continue with your cabin activities now," Chiron said.
When I turned to see Chiron, I was immediately surprised at his height. I was around five foot two, but Chiron was at least seven, if not eight, feet. Not to mention his back half is a horse. I then understood why the ceilings were higher than usual.
"Welcome, Nico and Bianca Di Angelo, you have made it safely to Camp Half-Blood." Chiron said.
Were there children that didn't make it to Camp Half-Blood? That's brutal and sad.
"Thank you for finding us, Chiron." Nico replied.
"Yes, I have this feeling that maybe this is where we should stay, and learn." I added.
"I must go find Mr. Percy Jackson. He is your guide to this place. He'll help you out." Chiron told us.
We walked out to the front porch, where Chiron began looking around and complaining about Zeus being way too happy and cursed in a language that again, seemed all to familiar.
"Finally decided to come out, Chiron?" Mr. D said.
"I'm looking for their camp guide, seen him anywhere?" Chiron asked.
"Petey Johansson?" Mr. D said.
Just then, a boy, about 15, came toward the house. I caught a glimpse of him early, sword fighting. He smiled, and I smiled back. Next to him was a girl who was staring at me, her eyes saying 'Don't go near him, or you're dead'. The boy had black hair, as dark as the night, and really green eyes. He looked really friendly.
"Sorry I'm late Chiron, the Stoll Brothers took all my clothes and scattered them around the camp," the boy said.
"Bianca, Nico, this is Percy Jackson."
"Hi, I'm Bianca, and this is Nico. He doesn't usually speak very often, unless he becomes friends with you."
"Alright, well let me show you some of our other campers, and then continue along to the cabins. Have you been claimed yet?"
"Claimed?" I asked.
"Yeah, do you know who your godly parent is?"
"No, not yet."
"Well, we'll just have to have you stay in the Hermes cabin. Some demigods haven't been claimed yet, and the Hermes cabin was kind enough to offer shelter."
We walked past the lake, the arena, and the volleyball courts. Then, we walked into the armory. It was filled with all weapons imaginable. Swords, daggers, bows, arrows, slingshots, crossbows, even a small catapult!
"Hey Wise Girl, we have some new recruits. Thought you might want to show them the weapons." Percy said to a girl who had her back turned to us.
"Or was it so that you could visit me?" She responded.
When she turned around, I realized she was the girl who glared at me earlier. She had blonde hair and the most dazzling gray eyes I've ever seen. When she wasn't glaring at people, she actually didn't look threatening.
"Hi, I'm Annabeth, daughter of Athena. I'm the head counselor of the Athena cabin. We have a winning streak in our game of Capture the Flag," she told us.
"So do you think you can determine our father, since you are pretty smart?" I asked.
"Maybe. Who is that behind you? He's like a ghost. It's like your father is Hades or something."
"Really?"
"No, I was joking, unless Hades broke the pact too, which is highly unlikely. So what type of weapons are you good with?"
"I'm not sure. Nico, my brother, and I usually don't get into fights involving weapons."
"Ok, well, you can take your time to find out what you're most comfortable with. We have a fantastic training facility, I'll help you train, but you should probably unpack and get settled first. I'll see you around, and you too, Seaweed Brain."
"Yeah, yeah, Wise Girl," Percy responded.
"Wait, if Wise Girl corresponds with daughter of Athena, Seaweed Brain corresponds with… Poseidon? Are you a son of Poseidon?" I asked Percy.
"Wow, amazing analysis, maybe you two are children of Athena too!" Annabeth said.
"Yeah, I'm a son of Poseidon. I can control water. It's pretty cool. Wanna see?" Percy asked.
"Don't you dare, not in here!" Annabeth commanded.
"Fine." Percy said in defeat.
"So… Cabins?" I asked.
"Yeah, the next part of the tour is the cabins. These will be your new home. You must keep it clean though, the cleaning harpies don't enjoy a dirty room, but they enjoy having a nice human treat."
I almost gagged at that.
We headed toward a big set up with 14 cabins. They were in an omega shape, like the way the gods sit, two extra on the sides. I wonder where I'll end up staying. My godly parent can't be Athena though, so it'll be sad that I can't stay with Annabeth. It's definitely not Apollo, I don't enjoy the sun very much. Maybe it's Ares? No, I don't like fighting that much. Maybe Poseidon, like Percy? Or Zeus? Or it could just be Hermes, and I could stay there and help with the newcomers. Or maybe it's Hephaestus, and I could build things. But I'm getting too far ahead of myself here. I have to be claimed first.
A/N: So yeah, that's Chapter 4. R & R, I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. I have to get at least 3-5 reviews, each from different people to release the next chapter, as it is important. It's also a bit more mature too. Review, it would be appreciated!
