"A boy unlike any other will arrive at this camp, a half blood but not one of godly parents." The oracle said.

What in the world! He thought.

"He will rise as a hero during his first year, and save the world from certain doom. He will meet old faces and new, that will help him on his journey. Death will fall to many, but one will be close to his heart. A fight between a god and him shall emerge."

The Oracle`s stopped glowing and it turned lifeless once more.

Dylan walked back to the other kids. Now all the campers were yelling at each other.

"QUIET!" Chiron yelled with his hands over his ears. "Everyone hide your flags and start the game! Now! Or this game is over!"

Everyone did as they were told. Dylan ran over to his team again.

"Stay out of our way, Jackson." Trevor told Dylan. Everyone on the red team followed Trevor. Which Dylan didn't understand, Trevor seemed like an idoit. He was probably going to leave the flag somewhere odious. Which he did he put it on top of half-blood hill. Dylan didn't argue since it wasn't like he knew a better spot. Trevor nominated himself to guard the flag, he hid in the nearby bushes. The red team went off searching for the blue flag. As did Dylan. When Dylan got to what he thought was the middle of the woods he climbed a huge tree and tried to see if he could see the flag. He found it. It was 6 trees to his left in a big hole in the middle of a tree. Dylan climbed down the tree and ran towards the tree with the flag. He saw the flag in front of him, it was only a few feet ahead. Then from behind the tree appeared a guy with dark skin, green eyes and black hair.

"Don't you even think you're going to get that flag." he said. Then he took out his sword and stabbed him on his arm.

Dylan held his arm, it didn't hurt, and it was more of a reflex. He took off his hand and looked at his arm. It was bleeding but not a lot.

"Dude! What is wrong with you!?" Dylan yelled.

"Fight back!" the boy yelled.

"I`m not gana fight you over a flag. That's stupid."

The boy looked at him as if he was crazy.

"That's how the game works."

"Well it's dumb."

Behind the boy Dylan saw the blonde kid from his team go for the flag. Dylan rolled his eyes then decided he would keep the red team kid occupied until the blonde kid got the flag. He shouldn't make foes here.

"Fine. If you're not gana fight, then you're not threat so I'm gana go back to the flag." The boy said.

The boy started to turn toward the flag.

Then Dylan lifted his sword and hit the guy on the neck with his sword.

The boy turned back toward Dylan. The boy tried to stab Dylan again but Dylan blocked him. Then Dylan stabbed the boys arm. The boy returned by making a cut on Dylan`s face.

"I got it!" the blonde kid yelled.

The blue team guy looked over at the blonde kid. Then at Dylan and glared. Dylan smiled.

Chapter 9:

Jack gets off the bus and Darla is their waiting for him at the bus stop.

"Hello Jack." She said.

"Hi? Aunt Darla." Jack replied. Darla never liked Jack after the fact that he wanted to go play with his friends rather than spend hi summer with her. So her picking him up from the bus stop was odd.

Darla grabbed his hand.

"So did you hear the news about your brother?" Darla asked Jack.

"Dylan went to a boarding school that he really wanted to go to."

Percy and Annabeth didn't want to tell jack the truth because they were pretty sure if they told him, he would be upset that he can't go.

"Did your mom and dad tell you that? Because that's not the truth. They shipped him off because he was different."

"Nah uh! You're lying!"

"I would never lie. But your parents all they have been doing is lying. All those stories they tell you there not true. Do you honestly believe it's possible your uncle is a Cyclopes?"

"Yes! My mommy and daddy told me so! If they told me so it's true!"

"Dylan isn't coming back. He is gone forever. Your parents did that to him because they don't want him. People only care about themselves including your parents."

Percy was upstairs in his bedroom reading some books on demi gods, of he found nothing about demi gods like Dylan.

Jack burst into the room crying.

"Daddy! Aunt Darla said that you sent Dylan away forever! That you didn't love him and that why he is gone! Daddy how could you do that!? He was different and that's why you sent him away!"

Percy ran over to Jack and hugged him.

"No Jack! That's not what happened!" He assured him. "We didn't send him away he wanted to go. ….look it's not even a school…..okay I'm gana tell you something and it's a hundred percent true. But you have to promise if I tell you to never tell Aunt Darla or something bad will happen."

"What is it?"

"Dylan is a demi god. He sees monsters like your mom and I used to. ….Well now I am starting to see them again. But anyways we sent him to Camp Half Blood, to learn how to defend himself and make friends who are going through the same thing he is. This the best thing for him."

"He gets to go to camp half-blood? That is so unfair!" Jack yelled.

"Jack, quiet, remember Darla can't know."

"Why does he get to be the demi god! I want to be a demi god!"

"I don't know it just happened like that."

"It's so unfair."

The next activity at camp was dinner. As Dylan followed the other kids to dining pavilion, Chiron rode over to Dylan.

"You`ll be sitting with the Hermes kids. It's the table with the most kids you can't miss it."

"Okay."

Chiron noticed Dylan`s cuts.

"Your hurt you should go to the infirmary and get something put on that."

"I`m fine, it doesn't hurt."

"Well you should go anyways just to be safe. Do you remember where the infirmary is?"

"Yeah in the big house."

"Yes."

"Now hurry up before all the food is gone."

Dylan walked toward the big house, but as he did he saw a lake. Which reminded him of what his father said about the water healing him. He figured it couldn't hurt to try. Dylan ran to the river. And put his arm in the water. Suddenly his wound started to fade, like magic.

"Wow!" He said.

Then Dylan scooped up some water and put some on his face. He looked at his reflection in the water and the cut on his face was gone too. Dylan thought for a moment.

I wonder if….. Dylan thought.

Dylan closed his eyes and focused on the water. Then he rose his hands up and the water started to rise. He opened his eyes.

"This is the coolest thing ever!"

Then Dylan moved his hands to the left and the water moved too. Dylan put his hands to his side and the water splashed down. Which soaked Dylan.

Dylan ran back to the dining pavilion. He sat with the Hermes kids, next to that blonde kid. the wood nymphs ran over and brought over more food.

"Can I get a drink too?" Dylan asked the nymph holding out his cup.

All the Hermes kids started to laugh.

"The Nymphs don't serve you your drink. The goblets are enchanted you just what you want to drink and it will appear inside."

"Oh." Dylan`s face turned red. "….Doctor Pepper."

His goblet magically filled up. Dylan decided to eat BBQ and grapes.

"Hi my name is Alex." The blonde kid told me.

"I`m Dylan." he told him, putting out his hand.

Alex shook his hand.

Dylan started to eat.

"Thanks for the help. Bryan is always a pretty hard guard. If you didn't notice from the over enthusiasm that was our first win."

"Yeah. When the one girl started singing 'we are the champions' I figured so."

"So are you from around here?"

"Yeah Manhattan."

"I`m from Kinase. So is your dad Hermes too? Or are you not claimed yet."

"Not claimed."

"That sucks. My mom always knew my dad was Hermes. I've been coming here during the summer since I was eight. But my mom had to go on a trip for work for a month so she sent me here early this year. "

"I`m here now cause, I just found out about being a half blood. So my…I wanted to start learning to fight as soon as possible. They said next year they`ll just send me during the summer or on breaks."

"You just found out now? But you're a teenager."

Dylan then decided to change the subject.

"Do you watch Doctor Who?"

"Yeah! I love it! Matt is my favorite Doctor!"

"Eh I like David better."

"David seriously? No way Matt is funnier and a better actor. Plus he has better stories."

Alex noticed Dylan had a few grapes left on his plate.

"Don't finish that." Alex told Dylan.

"Why do you want it?"

"No you have to give a portion of your food to the gods and then do a prayer."

"Oh…ops"

"It's okay. You can give what you have."

"Wait…but I don't know who my parent is. Who do I prey to?"

"Prey that you find out who your godly parent is, I guess."

Dylan and Alex walked over to the pavilion fire. First Alex closed his eyes and looked in thought. Then he dropped his food into the fire. Then he stepped aside for me to do the same. I stood in front of the fire.

So….yeah you gods probably know I don't have a godly parent, but I guess I'll give this food to my grandparents Athena and Poseidon. Yeah it's not much didn't know we were supposed to do this. Ummmm….. No offence but why the on earth did you choose me to be a demi god? Jack would have been so much better for this. He lives for all this well….what I thought was fantasy.

Dylan opened his eyes then threw his grapes into the fire.

"Hey do you have a drachma?" Dylan asked Alex.

"Yeah."

Alex went into his pocket and gave him a few.

"Any time I see them I get a bunch," Alex said. "My mom worries about me a lot. So she makes me call her almost every night."

"Thanks."

The kids all travel back to their cabins. This boy with dark skin and brown hair and his friends walked over to Alex.

"Don't forget to call your mommy! You little baby!"

Alex balled his fist. But the boys walked away.

"This is what happens every year. Trust me don't call your mom in the cabin."

Dylan snuck out of the Hermes cabin once everyone was sleep with a flash light, a book and a cd. He went into the woods. He put the book on the ground and put the cd on the book with the label facing the book. He turned on the flashlight and flashed it onto the cd and rainbow appeared on the cd (according to the internet this is a real way to get a rainbow). Dylan took the drachma from his pocket and threw it in the rainbow with his other hand. He didn't want to do this in his cabin after what happened to Alex. Everyone made fun of him, Dylan didn't want that.

"Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering." Dylan said. "Percy Jackson, Manhattan."

Suddenly Dylan could see Percy and Jack sitting on their living room couch eating popcorn. They were laughing at America`s Funniest Home Videos the once where Bob Saget hosts of course. He could hear his voice through the message.

"Dad!" Dylan called.

Percy jumped out of his seat and dropped his popcorn all over the floor. Both Dylan and Jack laughed. Percy looked up then to his right and saw nothing. Then jack pointed to the iris message to his left.

"Look its Dylan!" Jack shouted.

Percy smiled.

"Hey Dylan. How is camp?" Percy asked.

Dylan shrugged. "Pretty cool! I have your powers."

"How did you find out?"

"So when we played capture the flag I got hit twice and got two cuts. As I was walking toward the infirmary I saw the lake and I remembered what you said about the water healing you. So I went and put my arm in and I was healed. Then after I did my face too I tried controlling the water and it was the most amazing thing ever! You should have seen it! Also my team won capture the flag because of me. I kept the guard occupied while this kid Alex got the flag."

"I`m glad you're having a good time."

"Dylan!" Jack shouted. "Did you meet anybody with super cool powers? Like a child of Hades or Zeus or-?"

"How about a child of Poseidon? I have pretty cool powers." Percy argued.

"Eh I guess." Jack said. "But that kid you knew, Niko, he had such cool powers. He could like open the earth and let out dead people."

"Yeah, not just a dude with a sword." Dylan said. "Where`s mom? Is she still at work?"

"Yeah." Percy replied sadly.

"Mom is never home! Why?" Jack asked.

"She has this important project she has to work on."

"Why can't she work on it at home?" Jack asked.

"Because she has to work on it with a whole bunch of people and they have to go places and all that arctic stuff."

"I miss mommy." Jack said sadly.

"I know you do. I miss her too, but this is what she loves to do."

"I`m gana go." Dylan said.

"Ok," Percy said. "Be careful and don't get into too much trouble."

"Okay."

"Love you." Percy said.

"Love you too."

"Bye Dylan!" Jack shouted.

Dylan waved his hand through the mist, disconnecting the signal.

It was getting late. But Dylan knew his mom would want to talk to him too. Dylan repeated the creating of the rainbow then threw another coin into the rainbow.

"Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering." Dylan said. "Annabeth Jackson, New Jersey."

For a few minutes all he saw was darkness. He heard crashing, yelling, screaming and cursing in Greek.

Then he saw his mother in her black business suit dress that was torn at the bottom and now only had one sleeve. Her blonde hair was a mess and she was using knife to fight off a harpy. It has the body of a bird and the face an old women with sharp claws. Annabeth tried to stab it but it kept flying away. She then tried to throw things at it but it was too quick. As it flew it pushed things towards Annabeth trying to hit her. A few of them hit her but not many. Then the harpy seemed to have disappeared. Then out of nowhere it swooped down onto Annabeth`s back and dug it`s claws into her. Annabeth screeched. The Harpy lifted Annabeth into the air and then dropped her.

Annabeth fell to the ground. The creature smiled then disappeared.

"Mom! Mom!" Dylan shouted hopelessly. "Please don't be dead please!"

Suddenly a bunch of Annabeth`s coworkers come in. they immediately saw Annabeth on the floor and called 911.

Dylan waved his hand through the mist, disconnecting the signal.
