I know this is a short chapter but not much I can do without molding the chapters together. Also not my fault for missing a chapter my mom took the tablet into her room and I didn't wanna wake her.
Baxie's POV
(Who knew reading instructions would tell me how to do stuff. Where was Grover at this point?)
You would think this shocked me that Mr. Brunner was a centaur, that the Greek gods and goddesses were alive? Yes but I'm not going to show it.
The campers were staring at us the whole time like we are kids that didn't belong there. Rude. But I had an eerie feeling something was watching us from the Big house's attic. But Chiron reassured me nothing was there.
Chiron takes us to the cabins where the campers live. There are twelve cabins arranged in a U-shape. He explained how each cabin is associated with a particular god, and the campers who live in a cabin are related to that god. Cabins one, two, and three are empty. They are the cabins of Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon. I wanted to ask where Hades cabin was but I might have gotten in trouble for saying his name or something.
Chiron finds Annabeth and asks her to take over our tour. Annabeth takes us to cabin eleven, where we will be staying.
Cabin eleven looked old, very old. With the paint chipping and everything about it is run-down, it looked like the room my mom left me when I was 4. It is packed with kids – there are sleeping bags everywhere. It looks like your average summer camp cabin. The campers in cabin eleven gawked at us, but the cabin counselor, Luke, makes us feel welcome. Annabeth blushes around Luke. I think someones got a crush, then again she might be her brother...
Cabin eleven is dedicated to Hermes, the god of travelers and thieves. Anyone who doesn't have a place to stay can stay in Hermes' cabin. We were both "undetermined," which means that we don't officially belong to any one cabin. No god has claimed either of us yet.
Percy's POV
"But how could I be related to a God?" I ask.
"Your dad is most likely a god, I don't know which god, though. The only way you could have killed a Minotaur is if he had special powers that only a god could give you." Annabeth said.
"Why didn't I do anything? Wait what about me, I know for sure I had BOTH my parents my whole, er the first 4 years of my life." Baxie said.
"Some people's powers stay dormant until needed. And I don't know, maybe you were adopted." Annabeth said.
Then a girl comes over and says I have to do something for initiation, and apparently it involved getting my head dunked in a toilet.
"Is she a daughter of Ares?" Baxie asked Annabeth.
"Yeah, that's Clarisse, you don't wanna mess with her." She said.
Then just as Clarisse was about to dunk my head the weirdest thing happened. The water surged out of the toilet bowl and it soaked Annabeth, Clarisse, and her sidekicks. Annabeth seemed very shocked at what had just happened. I was completely dry on top of it.
Then Annabeth told me she wanted me on her team for capture the flag. I Just nodded since I knew no one else would pick me.
"Who's team will I be on?" I asked. "Wait don't answer that you'll just say 'yours.'"
