Hey guys! Sorry that this one is shorter, but you might get a little bit more info.
Yes, I admit, for the second time this morning, my mouth was hanging open.
"What?!" Asked Annabeth, obviously as surprised as I am, "B-but the pact," she said, then her face turned angry. "Oh these three gods just can't help themselves can they? I can't believe how selfish they are!"
"Yes, I know, but she hasn't been claimed yet," said Chiron, "maybe it will happen tonight at the bonfire."
"I hope…" I muttered, and then turned to look at Lucy, the girl who will probably have the same fate as me.
Annabeth walked toward her, and put her hand on her shoulder. "How old are you, Lucy?" She asked.
Lucy looked up at Annabeth, she had deep blue eyes that had a frightened look to them. "Nine," she responded with such a soft voice I barely heard her.
"Don't worry; we will take great care of you here." Said Annabeth, and she took Lucy's hand, and told Chiron that she will take care of her settling in.
"Thank you, Annabeth," he said, genuinely smiling, "goodluck."
After they left, I turned around to face the son of Hades. "Long time no see ha, Nico?"
"Yeah… sorry I was kind of busy," He said, making me wonder, but I kept those thoughts to myself. "At least I wasn't busy enough to save that girl, sensed her from miles away."
"Really? You brought her here?" I asked.
"Well actually I just came to help Sam," he pointed at the satyr, "fend off monsters on his way here with Lucy."
"Yes," Sam said, he had curly black hair and very small horns were visible on top of his head. "I was watching her at St. Louis school in Pennsylvania, she was radiating so much power it was a miracle she wasn't killed yet."
"Wow," I said, obviously still amazed at the two blooded girl, "were there many monsters coming after you?"
"Many, many monsters." He responded, as his eyes suddenly looked to a far off place.
I looked down awkwardly, trying to find something to say in order to fill the silence. "I will go help Annabeth," I finally said, turning around and starting to walk toward the cabins.
"Alright," Said Chiron, "just remember what's it like being new and different."
I saw Annabeth and Lucy entering the Hermes cabin, accompanied by Travis Stoll, who had a grim look on his; Annabeth probably told him. I ran up to them and asked her, "Would you like me to come with you, and we could show Lucy around the camp?"
"Sure," she said, and smiled at me, her eyes sharing the sympathy I had for the little girl.
Lucy put her belongings on a bunk bed next to the wall, and then we walked outside. We had taken her on a tour of the cabins, introducing her to the head counselors of the cabins, each of them gave her an advice or blessing related to their own godly parent. I think she enjoyed the song that Lee Fletcher sang to her, it was called, "Monsters Will Never Touch a Strong Heart". Pretty touching, although it was just like, five lines.
Later, we showed her the mess hall, the infirmary, the amphitheater, the arena, the pegasi stables and etc. At the armory, Trip Brown, a Hermes camper ran into us.
"Hey!" he said, smiling, "You are the new girl in our cabin."
"Yeah," Lucy said, still quite.
"How would you like for me to help pick out your armor and weapon?"
"I would like that," she said, this time a little louder, with a happy note to it, "thanks."
He told her to follow him inside, so I yelled after them, "Hey Lucy! See you around."
Don't forget to review!
