Chapter 3
Exploring Camp & Creepy Stalkers.

After Nico stormed out of the cabin Mary decided to explore the camp. She walked around looking at the cabins. There were about twenty in this area. She assumed there were others somewhere.
Mary headed toward a large rock wall that was pouring lava. Walking past the Apollo cabin she saw a guy with sandy brown hair talking to a group of campers. The boy paused and stared at her as she walked by. But it wasn't fright in his eyes, like so many of the others here at camp. It was something else.

Mary had explored almost all of the camp. The last place she came to was the edge of the woods. Suddenly she heard a stick crack behind her, she drew her knives. "Who goes there?"
A camper stepped out from his hiding place behind a tree. It was the boy from before. Looking sheepish he said. "Umm. Hi I'm Joe."
Mary sheathed her knives. "Were you following me?" she accused.
"No. Well yes." He seemed nervous.
"Why?"
"Well, I was- "
"Hey! Joe, Archery!" an unseen camper called.
Joe decided to take advantage of this. "Well gotta go, see ya!" he ran off.

As Mary walked back to the cabins she saw a boy, he had black hair and green eyes. "Hey!" she called. "Do you know if I'm supposed to be doing something right now?"
He turned and looked at her. "I have no idea. I'm Percy, by the way. Welcome to camp."
Mary eyed him. He was the only one who hadn't been scared of her. Maybe there was something wrong with him. "So you're the great Percy Jackson I've been hearing about?"
"I don't know about great but I'm Percy Jackson." He smiled. "I'm in cabin three."
Mary nodded. "Uh huh. I'm down in cabin thirteen."
"Yeah I know. Kinda strange for Nico to have a sister. How's he taking it?"
"He sprayed his bed with disinfectant after I touched it."
"Hmm that bad huh? I'll talk with him." Percy looked at his watch. "I gotta go. Sword practice. I'm going to cream those Hermes guys." He jogged off toward the sword arena.

"Okay then." Mumbled Mary. She heard leaves rustle behind her. When she turned around she caught a glance of sandy brown hair. "You again." She followed him and caught him by the back of his shirt. "You are a creepy stalker you know that?"
"Can't say I've been called that before." Joe grinned at her.
"Well stop it. Why have you been following me anyways?"
"Because you're interesting." He walked away.

Mary headed back into cabin thirteen. Why is everyone so strange? She wondered.

Later as she went through her activities she could have sworn that Joe was at everyone. Sometimes hiding, sometimes with his whole cabin. He was beginning to get on her nerves.
