I wake up in a nice silk bed. Alex's deep blue eyes look down on me. He smiles.
"Hey, you ok?" he asks.
"Yeah I'm fine. Where are we? It looks like an infermery." I say.
"It's the infermery of the camp! We finally made it!"
"Oh thank the gods. Well I'm fine how about you?"
"Perfectly fine. I don't think the same for you. What happened?" Alex says.
"I remember almost bleeding to death. I saw this white light and then a boy. He had brown hair and brown eyes. Although they looked lost, almost sad. Then next thing I know I'm here."
"Wait a boy? What boy?" Alex exclaimes.
"Alex it's fine. He might be a ghost that I saw ok?"
"Alright it's just that I was worried."
"Don't be you saved my life! I should be worrying about you. Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yea just a few cuts and scrapes no big deal."
I have this weird tug inside me, like Alex really didnt save me. The boy I saw! If I just knew his name...
"How did I get here? I doubt you carried me here." I ask.
"Hey! I got some guns!" He flexes
"You can't show what you don't have." I say.
We both laugh.
"The camp counciler helped me." He says.
A girl with black hair and dark eyes comes. She looks about sixteen. She wears a breast plate that looks like the color of gold. And on top is a purple toga.
"I'll have you know I'm not a counciler. Its called a praetor. It just so happens that I'm the praetor of the Twelfth Leigon, daughter of Bellona, and senator of New Rome. This praetor's name is Reyna."
"Um, pleased to meet you. My name is Bella. Thanks for saving us back there. Sorry I don't know my dad, well my godly one."
"Hm yes the undetermind half-blood. Lupa said we would have one but I didn't expect you so soon, I have no idea what to do with you." says the praetor.
' I have no idea what to do with you' that catches on when you've been expelled every other school year, although its still a lovely welcome.
"Um I'll leave you two to it," Alex says.
He starts to walk slowly out of the room.
"Well then your cohort will be decided at dinner for now your on porbatio."
A camper bolts in and and says "We have a new camper she's riding a freaking pony with wings!"
The three of us run outside to see firmilar freak with golden blonde hair with sea green eyes with electric blue flecks wearing a sombrero riding a white Pegasus.
"¡Rapido Carlos, Rapido!"
"What the Pluto is going on?" Reyna yells.
"Nicole! How ya doin'?" I say.
"Hola chica! Do you know how crazy it is in Mexico right now?"
"I demand you to tell me how you got a Pegasus!" exclames Reyna.
"Well my name is Nicole Waters thank you for asking and you tell me. I woke up with Carlos here next to my bed. Did you know Mexico has crazy parties?"
"Bella! Who is this person!" Reyna says.
"Well her name is Nicole Waters, she is not from Mexico, I met her when I was seven and apparently she owns a Pegasus named Carlos, as you can see she is my height and age, 13, but has extreme cases of ADHD" I say.
"Thank you Bella! Well then little miss purple toga I'll be joining camp then," Nicole says while she hops of of Carlos.
"Why you little!" Reyna says. Then she talks in Roman. I think she's swearing. It's starting to sound like a chant.
"Ok! Reyna calm down. Names Jason, nice to meet you."
A tall boy with blond hair and blue eyes greets us. Jason seems like a nice kid. Looks about 16?
"Oh..um..hi" Nicole drools
I elbow her out of her day dream
"Ouch!"
"Hey guys sorry that I can't show you around but Octavian could," Jason says
We follow him into this room. We see a scrawny, twig armed, blond hair, blue eyed kid gutting a teddy bear.
"I probably had fifty percent of the stuffies your gutting," I say.
The kid turns around and drops his half gutted stuffed bunny.
"Um.. Hello, Jason who is this?"
"Hi my names Rolanda!" Nicole yells.
"Really Nicole, really ?" I whisper.
"No I know who you are freak," The scrawny kid points at Nicole.
"Who's the normal one?" he asks.
"Well I'm-" before I could say anything Nicole inturrups.
"BIT( pause! I prefer limited edition!" she says.
"HI!" I yell "I'm Bella. Please to meet you." I extend my arm to the kid.
"O-o-octaber." he shakes my hand.
"I think you mean Octavian," Jason says.
"Right well. You want a teddy bear?" he asks.
"Um no it's ok. Why do you guy them anyways?"
He explains how there's a Augur, an how they used to gut live animals for their entrails to get some sort of prediction and to tell if the half-bloods will be accepted or not. Now they gut cute stuffies instead of sheep.
"So Octavian can you show them around?" Jason asks.
"Sure... Who's the boy?" Octav asks.
"I'm Alex and...I'm Bella's boyfriend!"
"Whoa Bella is he really?" Octav asks.
"No, I think what he means is he is a boy, that's a friend of mine," I say.
"Ummm no I'm your boyfriend."
"But she said no"
"She means yes"
"no"
"yes"
"no!"
"yes!"
"BOYS! I'm sure Bella would LOVE for you guys to fight over her but I'm sure she's on the verge of slapping you guys on the side of the head!" Nicole yells.
"Thanks Niki."
"Can you see if we'll be accepted?" Nicole asks.
"Fine."
He grabs three stuffies and ripes them open.
"Good, mhm, tsk-tsk."
"What happened?" Alex asks.
"Sadly Nicole's accepted," he says.
"What do you mean sadly? Huh Fluffy?" Nicole says.
"Fluffy? Wow, that's the best you got freak?"
"Freak's the best you got?"
"Nikki! You guys stop it! I must admit, Fluffy is a cute nickname," I laugh.
"Oh.. Ok." he blushes.
"OK! Can we get on with the tour?" Alex yells.
"Alright. This is where the prophecies are made."
"Before we go on. What is this place called?" I ask.
"Camp Jupiter." he says.
