Will and I joked around as we walked to the Hermes cabin, apparently defending myself against the ares cabin consoler is the prefect icebreaker. "Here we are, Cabin 11. Home to the unclaimed and the children of Hermes, and now, your new home."

Will and I stood in front of a slightly bigger than average cabin. It looked homey enough, although it could probably do with a bit of work done to it. The brown paint that had been painted onto the walls was peeling off in some places and cracking in others. A few of the floorboards on the steps that led up to the door were loose, and were in desperate need of being nailed.

But other that those small problems, it seemed friendly enough.

"Are you coming, or are you just gonna stand there looking like a goldfish?" I looked towards Will and was surprised to see that during the time I had spent staring at the cabin, he walked ahead of me and was now by the steps that led up to the door.

I quickly jogged up to him and was about to make my way up the stairs when Will held out his arm in front of me.

"Remember, the children of Hermes are notorious thieves, so keep anything you have on you that would catch their eye out of their sight." I nodded my head and moved my comb into my pocket. Then, followed slowly behind him up the small flight of stairs, suddenly becoming nervous of meeting my new cabin mates.

Will looked back at me with a smile of encouragement.

"You ready."

"As ready as I can be." Will knocked loudly against the door as we waited for someone to answer. It had barely been a few seconds before the door swung open and the sound of chatter reached our ears.

A tall blonde figure who towered over Will and I, stood in the doorway, hand still holding onto the door handle as though he was waiting for an excuse to shut the door.

"Hey Will, what can I do for you?"

"Hey Luke, I'd like you to meet Chris, Chiron asked me to show here around camp so I thought it would probably be a good idea to show her where she'd be staying." I stepped out from behind Will and had to stop myself from gasping at the sight in front of me.

Look, I never show any attention to guys, but I have to say Luke, was Hansome. The only thing that ruined him, well, I say ruined but I think that would be taking it a bit too far, was the scar than ran from his jaw bone to the bottom eye. It looked like it had hurt, but it seemed to make him look braver, so just by having that scored him points.

"Nice to meet you," I Held out my hand

"Name's Luke Castellan, counsellor of cabin eleven, son of Hermes."

"Chris Jackson, daughter of unknown." I joked.

"Well we're a bit short on room, but I'm pretty sure we'll be able to find something for you."

"I'll take what I can get."

"I'm afraid that all we'll be able to get you will be a sleeping bag on the floor." I was surprised at this, were the Gods really ignoring their children?

I turned my attention back to Will when he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"I have to go and get ready for Dinner, but I'll see you later yeah?"

"No problem, bye Will." I waved to Will as he left. I looked back at Luke, He motioned for me to follow him into the cabin. He led me to a closet at the end of the building and pulled out a sleeping bag and a small toiletry bag.

"Since you haven't got many clothes I can ask someone if they can lend you some for the time being."

"No it's fine, I'll ask Annabeth if I can borrow some from her." He looked at me in surprise.

"You've met Annabeth?" I nodded

"Yeah, I met her earlier she leant me some clothes."

"Strange."

I looked at him in confusion. "Why is it strange for someone to be lending me clothes?"

"Annabeth just isn't that kind of person. She's very selective when it comes to who she talks to."

"Really? It looked as though she didn't mind being around me." Luke motioned for me to follow him to a small corner of the cabin before continuing his interrogation.

"What makes you say that?"

"Well, she seemed overly pleased that I was here. And practically dragged me around half the camp before someone from her cabin saved me."

"Well I'll be careful if I was you Chris, I think she might want something from you."

"What could she want from me?" I said innocently, while I answered myself, Alot of things.

"Don't know, but keep a close eye on her and remember Athena always has a plan."

"I Know!" I said rudely, I mean why do people keep treating me like an idiot.

"Feisty, I like that!" He smiled at me, while I scowled at him, and started to walk over to where I assumed he slept. He turned back to me when he had walked only a few steps.

"Dinner is in a few minutes try not to get too settled." I turned back to my space and sighed.

Dinner wasn't too bad I guess, well besides the fact that it was really uncomfortable at the Hermes table, there was barely any room to sit on the benches with so many kids seated there.

But I did get a bit confused about the rules everyone had to listen to during meal times, as soon as everyone had a plate of food in front of them, people seemed to ignore the food entirely, before one by one, people started to walk up to a small fire that was placed in the corner of the hall. When I asked Luke what they were doing he said they were offering a portion of their food to the Gods, apparently they liked the smell.

So, I followed my cabin in turn as they joined the line leading to the fire then, finally, it was my turn. When it was my turn I put in the meat and some grapes, I wasn't really hungry.

Hey Dad, I got to camp and hope I don't have the lava wall anytime soon.

Luke and I ended up spending dinner talking about our families, that subject had only lasted until I questioned him about his father.

"Have you ever met your father?"

"Only once, but that was a long time ago."

I waited for him to continue, but soon realized that it wasn't going to happen as he changed the topic.

After dinner I followed Luke to an outdoor arena, which everyone kept calling the Amphitheater. Ancient Greeks held shows in Amphitheater's, where actors would perform different stories, sometimes of a hero's achievements. But in camp, the Amphitheater was where they held campfire's, where Apollo's kids would lead a sing along. And on special occasions Chiron would tell stories about his time as a teacher back in ancient Greece to teach us an important lesson, but basically everyone just sat around a campfire talking and having a good time.

He also told me that it had become a camp tradition to hold a campfire every night except for Friday, but that only meant that there'd be a longer one on the Saturday, so I hoped that they were good, otherwise I might find myself being bored to death, or falling asleep. Whichever came first.

At the campfire, I looked around at all the people who were smiling and laughing with their friends and siblings, it seemed like a big happy family, then I realized that for some, this was probably their only family.

My eyes surprisingly caught Clarisse's and I smirked slightly. Something told me that Clarisse didn't appreciate what had happened earlier.

"You okay?" I almost jumped at Luke's voice.

"I just have a feeling that I am not Clarisse's favorite person after earlier." Luke looked over at Clarisse and grimaced slightly at her glare.

"So it was true?"

"I have learned a long time ago to never admit to anything. Hang on. Luke, How did you find out?"

"Word travels fast around here. It's hard to keep anything a secret in camp."

"But it only happened a few hours ago, and there was nobody nearby."

"Like I said, word travels fast. So, how'd you do it?" I shrugged.

"My secret."

He left the subject alone after that, then turned to one of his friends who were sat next to him, Howard I think his name was. Luke had introduced us earlier but we had barely said anything to each other since. I looked around the campfire and smiled at Will when our eyes met.

'Everything okay?'

I smiled and nodded before tilting my head in Clarisse's direction.

'Don't worry about it' He mouthed and I smiled at him 'I won't'

"Who are you smiling at?" my head wiped around to look at Luke.

"Only Will, he was asking if I was alright." Luke looked up to where I was looking earlier and frowned slightly.

"I wouldn't let your feelings get the best of you when it comes to him."

I looked at Luke in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Apollo is a complete player. Unfortunately for most, that means so are his kids. They are almost as bad as Aphrodite's children."

"And you know this how?"

"I've been here for a long time, I notice things, if I didn't, how would I protect my brother's and sisters."

"First, Your parents don't define who you are, Second, I'm only 11, and Three, Will was the first person I met here and I already consider him a friend. Anyways, He was just seeing if I was alright."

"If you say so"

"I am. Why does it bother you anyway?" Luke shrugged at me

"It doesn't. Honestly. It's just my job to look after the younger campers."

"Is everything alright here?"

I fell off the log as soon as I heard this voice. I was laying on the ground looking up at Annabeth.

"Hey Annabeth without looking, What's up?"

She smiled and said, "I just came over to say hi. How do you like camp so far?"

"It's interesting. Although I can't say I'm looking forward to joining the activities." They laughed.

"Don't worry about it," Luke said, "You get used to it soon enough, I did." Annabeth nodded her agreement.

"He's right about that, our bodies were built for this kind of work. It helps to have ADHD to."

"How does ADHD help?"

"It's our battle instinct. The quick reflexes keep us alive on a daily basis." I nodded in understanding, before changing the subject.

"So how long have you been here?"

"I've been here since I was fourteen. Ann's been here since she was seven. We arrived here with-" Luke cut off suddenly and his face darkened from whatever memory he was reliving. I looked to Annabeth hopping for some answers, only to find her looking as though she was about to burst into tears.

"Sorry if that was a bad subject." Annabeth shook her head slightly,

"Don't worry about it."

"But still, I probably shouldn't have asked. I'm sometimes too curious for my own good."

"One day, you may find that, that can kill you." Luke said bitterly, I looked at him in shock, Annabeth seemed just as shocked as I was at his outburst.

"Well, That's good to know." I said rudely. I stood up and walked over to Will and sat by him.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I am fine."

"What did you do today?"

"Well I woke up and Got a tour from you aaannnnddd that pretty much it."

"Sounds fun."

"Oh it was. Today was the most exciting day I have ever had in my life." I said sarcastically.

The rest of the night passed without anything else happening, and soon the campfire was ending. I almost groaned as I saw counsellors calling for siblings to make their way to their cabins to get ready for bed. I said good bye to Will at went to where I saw Luke,"Cabin Twelve! Make your way back to the cabin, I want you all back by the time I get there!"

Luke motioned for me to follow him after he finished addressing anyone from our cabin who had stayed behind. One thing, I hate about myself is that I can never hold a grudge for more than an hour. So, I forgave him for his outburst.

I looked around and watched the campers that were rapidly pouring out of the Amphitheater, trying to get back to their cabins before they got in trouble with either their eldest siblings. We waved at Annabeth, as we passed, but weren't noticed as she was busy trying to get the more reluctant siblings, who seemed determined to stay behind, away from the campfire.

"Is she in charge of her cabin then?" Luke nodded at me.

"She's been here longer than her other siblings, and the most experienced, so it seemed natural if she became the cabin's counsellor." I nodded in understanding at him.

The rest of the walk was silent, and I was starting to feel the day's events start to catch up with me. I yawned widely.

"Tired?" I nodded once again, "Don't worry we're almost there."

Back at the cabin I mumbled goodnight to Luke, before waiting my turn in the toilet and sluggishly changed into the pair of pajamas I came in. I crawled in the sleeping bag and made myself comfortable on the floor.

"Lights out everyone," Luke called from the front of the long room before turning off the lights. Although I was tired, I didn't go to sleep at once. I lay awake for what felt like hours, thinking back over what had happened the last few hours.

'I find out that my mum is dead. Then I find out that now that I know what I am, the moment I step outside of camp, monsters will start looking for me to have for dinner. Then I find out that I may, or may not Get claimed by dad for some unknown reason. Wow, my life has turned out to be one heck of a drama and on top all of it, I feel like I belong.'

I also thought about Luke he seemed nice, but I was unsure if he was showing his true colors after that outburst. Maybe, I was just being paranoid or maybe not but I swear just before I fell asleep, I had heard the door open and close.
