I meet Chiron and Mr. D
A/N: This is where I explain everything. Such as who "he" is and Mary's parentage.
"What just happened?" I asked looking at the new arrivals.
"Well, this will be much easier and safer once we get to camp." The blond one said, wielding a bronze dagger.
"Annabeth, put the dagger down, you're scaring them," The black haired one said.
"Wait... You're Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase?" He said coming out of his stunned silence. (A/N: Be patient the explanation is coming up in this chapter)
"Yeah. By reading the books you exposed yourself to every monster within Pennsylvania."
"Percy, we need to get to Camp before more monsters come," Annabeth said acting all high and mighty.
"I think we get it. We're not stupid. Let's just get to camp," I said annoyed with Annabeth's "smarter-than-you" act. (A/N: Ares and Nike do not like Athena because Athena is smarter than Ares and Nike is the goddess of victory and is tired of hearing wisdom from Athena)
"Sorry for having a plan to save us!" Annabeth retorted.
I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm trying to take Percy or something. I really could care less about Percy. I'm still in love with Bernard. (A/N: This is who "he" is and italics mean someone is thinking.)
"I just meant that you don't need to keep repeating yourself. We heard you the first time you came up with the plan and besides I think Percy was about to do something about it."
"I was about to call Blackjack," Percy said looking up at the sky.
Pretty soon, the fluttering of wings could be heard and a magnificent Pegasus landed in front of us.
"Um...I'm afraid of heights..." I weakly said looking up at the Pegasus.
"Don't worry, Blackjack won't drop you. Right, Blackjack?" Percy said looking up at the Pegasus.
Blackjack looked back at Percy, and neighed.
"Alright. You trust us don't you?" Percy asked.
"Yes, I don't think you would do anything to harm us." I said confidently.
"Well...Hey, where's Grover?" Bernard asked looking around.
"Um...Is it enchilada day in the cafeteria today?" Percy asked, looking around as well.
"Yeah. I hate enchiladas." I said.
"I'll get him." Annabeth said running towards the cafeteria to get Grover.
She soon came back pulling Grover behind her.
"But, it was enchilada day and they had free tin cans!" Grover was yelling, trying to go back.
"I grabbed some tin cans and enchiladas for you Grover." Annabeth said.
"Really?!" Grover said looking happy.
"Yes, now lets go before we get attacked because you're making so much noise!" Annabeth said.
We climbed on Blackjacks back and took off for Camp Half-Blood.
After a few hours of flying, we landed inside the magical borders of the Camp.
"You guys need to talk to Chiron, come on," Grover said motioning for us to follow him to the big house.
"We'll see you later!" Annabeth and Percy called and took off for the cabins.
We headed up the steps and into the Big House where Chiron and Mr. D were playing pinochle.
"The half-bloods, Mr. D, Chiron." Grover said, introducing us.
"Lord Dionysus, Chiron" I said respectfully since I didn't want to know what Mr. D could turn me into.
"Now, there is a child who knows to show respect to the Gods!" Mr. D exclaimed.
"Um..Sir...This is Mary Gannon and Bernard Davis," Grover said, looking respectfully at Mr. D.
"Well. Welcome Maggie Manning and Bobby Davies." Mr. D said sarcastically.
"Um.. It's Mary Gannon and Bernard Davis, Sir." Grover said again.
"Oh yes, well, whatever." Mr. D said returning to the game.
" I assume you have read the books and know what you are." Chiron said, turning to us.
"Yes, but Mary has a bit of a problem," Bernard said.
"What do you mean, Bernard?" Chiron asked.
"When we were claimed, two symbols appeared over her head instead of just one." Bernard said, remembering.
"The symbols of Lord Ares and Lady Nike..." Chiron whispered.
"Yes, those exact two symbols," Bernard mentioned.
"Does this mean the Gods are fighting over whose child I am because no one can remember?" I asked a bit frightened.
"Mary, you are a very special case. You are much more powerful than a half-blood." Chiron said beginning the explanations.
"What does that mean, though?" I asked.
"I'd rather not tell you with Bernard here, as this may put him in more danger knowing. Grover, please take Bernard to Cabin 11." (A/N: This is the Hermes cabin)
Chiron said.
"Yes, Chiron." Grover said, leading Bernard out of the Big House.
"Mary, you are not a half-blood. You are the child of two Gods, making you immortal and a Goddess yourself. Your mother is Nike, the Goddess of Victory, and your father is Ares, the God of War. Problem is, Nike made a pact never to have children. You were not raised on Olympus, as you should have been, because Nike was worried about what Zeus would do if he found out."
"Your band teacher was a fury sent by Hades, because Zeus ordered him to attack you, since he has more powerful monsters."
"You are to be trained as a normal half-blood, and live here at Camp. Until, you are ready to return to Olympus." Chiron said, finishing his explanation.
"What cabin will I live in then?" I asked, knowing that I could be placed either in the Ares cabin or the Nike cabin.
(A/N: This is after Percy makes the deal with the Gods that the minor Gods and Goddess be recognized and have their own cabins)
"Since Lady Nike does not want anything to do with you, you will live in the Ares cabin." Chiron said.
"Why does my mother want nothing to do with me?" I asked, hurt.
"Lady Nike does not want to recognize you, since you are a mistake." Chiron said sadly.
Grover then reappeared, and offered to take me to Cabin 5. (A/N: this is the Ares cabin)
I was quiet the whole way, as I was thinking.
Why does my own mother hate me? It's not my fault that I was born. I never did anything to her. Its her fault not mine. The Gods are horrible. They make one mistake and hate their child for it. (A/N: when something is written like this, it means that that person is thinking)
"Um..Mary? We're here." Grover said.
"Oh. Right" I said looking up at my new home.
"Well, what have we got here?" Clarisse said, looking me up and down.
"This is your new sister, Mary." Grover said introducing me.
"Ok, you can leave now goat-boy" Clarisse said, motioning at Grover to leave.
Suddenly, Clarisse slapped me on the shoulder saying, "Looks like Father heard my prayer! I've always wanted a strong sister of Ares! Now I can fight with people on my own level instead of these boys!"
(A//N: I know this is a bit out of character for Clarisse but Mary needs a good relationship with her sister Clarisse, because of what is coming up. And Clarisse is so strong she has already beaten all the guys in her cabin and needs a new challenge. Also, all the children of Ares like each other because they are family.)
I smiled, slapping her back. "I'm glad to be around people who are like me!"
"Our cabin fights for each other and for Ares!" Clarisse said, looking proud.
"Come on in! You need to meet everyone else!" Clarisse said, pulling me in the cabin.
After meeting everyone else, Clarisse started teaching me how to fight even better.
"You need a better weapon." Clarisse said looking at the sword I was currently using.
"Maybe, Father will give you a magical weapon like my electrical spear!" She said looking excited.
Pretty soon we heard the conch shell blow for dinner.
As we lined up, Clarisse made me co-cabin leader because I was the only other girl of Ares.
As we sat down, Mr. D said "We have two new campers today, so welcome Maggie Manning and Bobby Davies."
"Mary Gannon and Bernard Davis, who cares?" Mr. D said hearing Chiron's name correction.
We got up to give our offering to the Gods. I scrapped the tastiest portion of meat off my plate and thought:
Father, I wish I could see you one time. I feel really bad that mother hates me. And I could use a magical weapon, though you don't really have to since I know you won't fight my battles for me.
When I sat back down at the Ares table next to Clarisse, there was a huge bang and a cloud of smoke.
A/N: Who is it? Next chapter will be uploaded soon! And I hope I got the explanation right! And I'm so happy this one is above 1,000 words!
