The next morning, Sophie woke up in the guest room. She lazily watched as light streamed through the dusty windows not planning to get up at all.
The decision was made for her when, Annabeth came into the room saying. "I know you're awake. Now get up before you miss breakfast."
Grumpily, Sophie got up, running her fingers through her hair, then, followed Annabeth through the door, down the stairs and, to the dining hall.
"Each table is for a different god or goddess, their kids sit at their tables."
Sophie looked around. The people at each of the tables seemed to have some sort of shared character trait that she guessed they had gotten from their godly parent. Like one had dazzling blond hair and, another astonishing beauty.
"Since you are unclaimed as of yet, you can sit at the Hermes table for today." Then Annabeth turned to look at her. "How old are you?"
Sophie felt like rolling her eyes, not caring that there was no way that Annabeth could have known her age. "I'm fourteen."
Annabeth seemed surprised, "you should have been claimed by now".
Sophie couldn't help herself "Why?"
Annabeth's face seemed to darken. "Two years ago, there was a second Titan war. Percy was the leader of the half bloods that were on the Olympian side. As a reward, he was offered to be immortal."
Sophie glanced at Percy who was sitting at a table all by himself, wondering if he took it, then glanced at Annabeth, deciding that it wasn't likely.
"Instead, he asked among other things that all of the minor gods get cabins instead of staying in the Hermes cabin and, that all demigods get claimed and brought to camp by age thirteen."
Sophie was floored looking at Percy muttering, "Jeez, he's noble."
Annabeth smiled "Yeah he is, anyways, you should get claimed at campfire tonight; now, I suggest that you eat something quick before breakfast ends."
With that, she walked to her table, leaving Sophie wishing that she was back at home where things made sort of sense. Since pinching her arm was still painful, she made her way to get food.
When she decided that she had stalled long enough, she made her way to the table that reminded her most of Herman and, finding an empty spot, sat down.
She guessed that a new kid would be pretty noticeable because, a kid with brown hair and a devil-smile looked at her and said "Hi, just got here?
Sophie looked at him, he reminded her of Herman. "Yeah"
He looked at her eyes. "Looks like you're going to get claimed tonight."'
Sophie wondered how he knew "Why".
He gave her a grim smile "You have grey eyes, a sure sign that Athena is your godly parent. She always claims at the campfire."
"Good for her I guess." The problem was, Sophie didn't know if she would get claimed or not, Athena might not bother to claim her little counterpart.
Even if Sophie couldn't think up a good reason why not, she knew that gods had weird reasons sometimes for doing things.
That day, she followed the Hermes cabin around.
She raced nymphs, and lost terribly.
She tried sword fighting and, got beaten every time.
She got quizzed by Annabeth on Greek mythology (Annabeth insisted that she call it history) and knew everything.
Chiron tried to teach her archery. Key word tried, she couldn't even get the edge of the target.
Finally after all that, there was dinner and finally, campfire.
She ended up sitting next to Annabeth, talking with her about the titan and Giant war. She wondered if with all of the saving the world, how much time Annabeth ever had to be a normal kid.
When campfire finally came to a close, everyone was just going to leave when; a hush fell over the crowd.
Annabeth elbowed Sophie in the arm muttering, "Look up."
When Sophie did, she saw a holographic version of an owl just floating over her head. After a few seconds, it vanished.
Annabeth smiled at her. "Daughter of Athena, looks like we're sisters."
"Looks like" Sophie agreed. As she followed Annabeth to her no, their cabin, she couldn't help but wonder when she would see her own sisters again.
That night, she ended up in the throne room with the grey-eyed-goddess.
"I see you met my daughter." Athena had a small smile on her face.
"Yeah, why did you claim me?" Sophie would have thought that the wisdom goddess wouldn't of wanted anything to do with her. She was famously hard to deal wit
The goddess seemed to think about it. "Even though you are not my child, you have my eyes and the traits of my children. No one would question it if I claimed you. Why make extra trouble for everyone not to?"
"Thanks for claiming me I guess. Why did you send me to the camp anyways?"
The wisdom goddess looked surprised. "It wasn't me who sent you there." She admitted. "I thought that you subconsciously went there."
"Why?"
"When I first called you here, I set your dream self to come here every night…."
"Wait, you mean I'm dreaming?"
"Sort of, I made a duplicate of your body for when you're here. All that you experience here is real and, you can affect others. I just assumed that you subconsciously went to a place that would be the safest for you."
Sophie remembered her trip there. "Wasn't that, I could feel something pushing and guiding me along to the camp."
Athena looked startled. "That means, someone else knows who you are and how to reach you."
Sophie was starting to get worried. "I'm going to take a guess that's bad."
"Yes it is, I'm going to send you back to bed now."
Sophie could start to feel the tug, "wait!" the tug stopped. "Can I go home? I've had enough of camp crazy for the night."
The wisdom goddess nodded her head as, Sophie started to feel the tug in a different direction.
It was just then that Sophie wondered how everybody thought of her sleeping through the day.
I'm not sure when I last did this so, I'm not making any money on this, so, logically, I don't own the Percy Jackson series.
