Alexis POV

"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, Alexis." Grover grinned. We walked to a gate which was guarded by a dragon and next to it was a pine tree. And under the pine tree was something that looked like the Golden Fleece. Then I remembered. This was all real. I looked at the trio. "Is this the real…?" I couldn't finish my sentence. Annabeth smiled and nodded. "Yes, it is. Percy and I used it to heal the tree. We saved it, the camp, and the person who was the tree." She said. I was confused. How can a person be a tree? But Percy seemed to read my mind. "We'll tell you the story later. But for now, let's go to camp!" He grinned. He must really love this camp. We went past the gate, and I couldn't believe what I saw. The 'camp' apparently, looked more like a tiny village. With its own arena and such. There were 20 cabins in all. "I thought there were only 12.." I muttered. But Annabeth heard me. "There used to be 12, but there're 20 because of the minor gods. Plus Hades. Hades didn't have cabin before. So now, the 8 added cabins are Hades, Iris, Hypnos, Nemesis, Nike, Hebe, Tyche, and Hecate." She said gleefully. Even if they looked happy, I could sense some sadness in them. I decided not to bring it up. "So which cabin will I stay in, since I'm not 'claimed' yet?" I asked. Percy pointed toward a cabin with a caduceus overhanging the door. "The Hermes cabin. It used to be really full, since the unclaimed demigods, Hermes' children, and children of the minor gods stayed there." He said. I looked at it. It looked quite old. "So.. where do I go?" I asked them. "The Big House," Grover said, pointing to a large sky-blue house, "We need to take you to Chiron first." They started walking, and some of the campers were staring at me. I tried not to blush, I wasn't the type of person who liked attention. When we got to the Big House, a man opened the door. Scratch that, it wasn't man. Well, it was a man, but it was also a horse. "A centaur…" I whispered to myself. The centaur smiled warmly. "Quite right my dear, I'm a centaur. I am Chiron. Please come in." he invited us. We walked in and I saw a man drinking Coca-Cola. "Another one?!" he exclaimed. I got the feeling this guy wasn't the 'nice' type of guy. "Alexis, meet Mr. D, the director of this camp." I turned to him and greeted him nicely. "Eh, you demigods. You're nice in the beginning but after a while, you turn into little monsters. What's your name again?" he said. I grimaced. He really wasn't the nice type. "Alexis Marie Cruz." I said. "Well then, Texas Martin Ruiz, welcome to Camp Half-Blood." I raised an eyebrow. "Uhm, sir.. My name is Alexis Marie Cruz, not Texas Martin Ruiz.." I said as nicely as I could. "Ehh, whatever." Chrion shook his head. He took us into his office. "Please don't mind Mr. D, Ms. Cruz.. He's a little…" I shrugged. "What does the 'D' stand for anyway?" I asked. "Dionysus." Grover chimed. I choked on the peppermint Chiron offered. Annabeth patted me on the back a few times. Percy was snickering. "That- cough that's Dionysus? Cough As in.. cough the wine dude?" I choked out. Chiron smiled. "Yes. Yes he is." I shook my head. "Anyway, back to the point. What do I do here?" I asked. "Oh, you get into whatever cabin, train, do campfire, Capture the Flag, and all that stuff. You also learn Ancient Greek." Percy said excitedly. I nodded. "And.. my clothes?" I added. "We have them in your bunk bed in the Hermes' cabin." Chiron said. I gulped. Wasn't Hermes like, the god of thieves? "Don't worry, the cabin-mates won't do anything to it." Annabeth assured me. "Okay…" I replied. Annabeth and I walked to the Hermes' Cabin, while Grover went to the forest and Percy went to the arena. Annabeth knocked on the door, and two guys opened it.

"Welcome…" one said.

"To the…" the other one said.

"Hermes' Cabin!" they finished together.

Then they introduced themselves.

"We are.." one said.

"Travis.." 'Travis' said.

"And Connor.." 'Connor said.

"STOLL!" They yelled in my face. Annabeth smiled. "Hey, Travis, Connor." She nodded her heads at them. She looked at me. "Err… Hi..?" I did a little wave with my hand. They looked at me like I was a birthday present. Their mouths had wide, open-mouth smile. "A NEW CAMPER! THANKS DADDY!" they gave me a really big hug. It felt kind of weird, but I was happy. These two boys, ahem, guys, didn't even know my name but they hugged as if I were a lost friend who came back. They reminded me of Louis, Rick and Lita. I noticed I had tears in my eyes. Annabeth punched their arms. "Look what you did! You made her cry!" she exclaimed. Then I started laughing. The three of them stared at me. I hugged Travis and Connor. They hugged me back. "See, Annabeth? She was crying because she was so happy." Travis, or, er.. Connor? Was that Connor? said. Annabeth rolled her eyes at them and smiled at me. She gave me a hug. "I'll be at my cabin if you need me, okay?" She ran off. I looked at Connor and Travis. They led me to a bed. "What's your name?" Connor, I think, asked me. "Alexis Cruz." I replied. I stared at both of them. "How am I supposed to know who's Travis and who's Connor?" I asked. One smiled and the other rolled his eyes. They stood back to back and I noticed a difference in height. "And can you introduce yourselves again?" I asked. They smiled. The taller one was Travis, and the shorter one was Connor. I grinned. They both grinned. "Hi, Alexis." Travis said. "Are you claimed yet?" Connor asked. I shook my head. They slumped, then Connor brightened up. "Do you want a tour?" he asked. "Sure," I said, "But I'll change first, I guess." They waited inside. I quickly ran to the showers, took a bath, and changed into the clothes the camp prepared. I put my shoes on, and ran back to the Hermes Cabin. "Ready?" they asked in unison. "Ready." I said.

Nico POV

I stayed in the Arena for a while, I wasn't really tired and I wouldn't have anything to do if I left. You could think about what Gaea said, my thoughts chimed in. I refused. I did NOT want to think about that for the moment. I laid on the ground, and suddenly, Percy was that close to smooching me. "Gah! Percy!" I got up and bumped my head with his. He rubbed his head with pain, and smiled. "Hey, Nico. What're you doing here by yourself?" he asked. Should I tell him? I thought. No. Now was not the time. "I'm always by myself." I said nonchalantly. "No, I meant, why are you laying on the ground?" he said. "Well, if you were wondering, you could have asked why I was laying on the ground, not what I'm doing by myself." I replied. He shook his head. "Whatever." "What were you doing yesterday afternoon anyways?" He shrugged. "Just a new demigod." He said. "Name? Age? Claimed yet? Godly parent? Boy or girl?" I asked. He thought about it for a while. "Hmm… Alexis Cruz, 14 years old, unclaimed, dunno, and girl." He said. "Hold up. 14 and unclaimed? (AN: 16 & Pregnant? xD Just a joke, chill.) Shouldn't a demigod be claimed by 13?" I asked. "Well yeah… we'll find out sooner or later.." Percy shrugged. Suddenly, the Stoll Brothers were running to Percy. "PERSEUS! PERSEUS!" they shouted. Percy glared at them. He really didn't like being called 'Perseus.' "What do you guys want? And shouldn't you be with Alexis?" he asked. They took a deep breath (in unison) and said, "Annabeth's with Lexi. But-" they were cut off by Percy. "You already have a nickname for her? You just met her a few hours ago!" They rolled their eyes (once again, in unison). "Never mind that," Travis said, "we have more important news." Connor grinned and started jumping. "ALEXIS IS BEING CLAIMED! SHE'S AT THE ARMORY WITH ANNA!" he shouted. Everyone in the arena looked at him, wondering who he was talking about. Once they noticed he had said, 'claimed', they all ran out to the armory, which was pretty close to the arena. Percy and I ran, following the Stoll brothers, and I saw a girl about my age, with the holographic image of The Caduceus above her head. Annabeth was smiling and so was Chiron. And Mr. D was Mr. D. Chiron stepped up to her. "All hail Alexis Cruz, daughter of Hermes, god of messengers, travelers, and thieves. Messenger of the gods, god of roads and merchants." Everyone stared at her in awe. She was kinda pretty. Stop it, stop it, you don't even know her, I thought. The tension was broken when everyone heard a yell. "BABY SISTER!" the Stolls shouted a ran to hug her, along with everyone in the Hermes cabin.

Annabeth POV

So it was decided. Alexis was the daughter of Hermes. I was hoping she'd be a daughter of Athena, since she's supposed to be first in her class, but the Andrea girl paid the teachers to let her first. I wrinkled my nose in disgust when I heard that. Everyone was staring at her in awe, when all of a sudden the Stolls started yelling. "BABY SISTER!" they ran to her, followed by the rest of the Hermes cabin. They all had a group hug, or in this case, a cabin hug. They lifted her up and were cheering. I don't know what happened after that. But all I know is that Alexis was happy with her new family now. Percy was talking to Nico. "Seaweed Brain!" I called, walking up to them. He pulled me in for a kiss. "Can you guys take it somewhere else, please?" Nico asked. Percy rolled his eyes. "Pretty soon you'll be doing something like this, Nico. I don't know if Percy noticed, but Nico stiffened when he said that. "I don't plan on getting people close to me." He muttered. Percy did not seem to see the gloom. "Well why not?" he asked, putting his arm around me. Nico shrugged. "I have my reasons." He started to walk away. Percy yawned. "Looks like I gotta hit the sack. Night, Wise Girl." He grinned a kissed me again. Then he ran off to his cabin. I shook my head, smiling. Nico was walking towards the Arena. "Nico!" I ran after him. He looked back. "Is there anything, you need, Annabeth?" he asked innocently. "The question is, is there something you're not telling me and Percy, Nico?" I asked. He tensed. "No.." he mumbled. "Then maybe I'll just ask Chiron." I said, walking to the Big House. "No no no! Don't ask Chiron! I- I'll tell you." I smiled. "Let's go to the Amphitheater." I said. We walked for a while, and when we got there, he looked worried all of a sudden. "Before Gaea went to sleep…" he started. "Mhmm.." I urged him to continue. He took a deep breath. "Before Gaea went to sleep.. she told me something." He said. I froze for a while. What was she planning this time? "Is it something that involves someone close to you?" I asked. He looked up at me. "Chiron told you, didn't he?" he glared. I shook my head. "No, he didn't, Nico. You think I didn't notice you stiffen when Percy mentioned you having a girlfriend? You also said that you don't plan on getting close to anyone. It's just like context clues." "Oh." He started to relax. "Don't worry about it. I don't think she'll be able to hurt anyone while she's already deep in her sleep. Maybe she was just trying to scare you. And she did. She scared all of us. But we made, didn't we?" Nico shrugged. "But what if it really does happen? What if I get close to someone and next thing you know, that person is gone? Just like Bianca?" He was tearing up. I patted his back. "Then you can blame me. I'll take all the blame. Not anyone else. ME." I told him and got up. "I'll see you in the morning. Good night, Nico." "Night, Annabeth." I gave him a little hug before leaving. He was still in the Amphitheater, and then he was gone. Probably shadow-traveled, I thought. I suddenly began to wonder what Gaea had in store for Nico. I shook my head. I'll think about it in the morning.

Alexis POV

Cabin 11 is AWESOME! :D GOOD NIGHT, YA'LL!

So.. was it awesome or awful? Or awe-inspiring? Hehe, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! And I plan to have little sneak peek at what's going back at Alexis' home. JUST a sneak peek. Ok, fine maybe I'll tell the whole story.

Third Person POV

Back at Alexis' house, Ms. Cruz was going bonkers. She contacted every person she knew, but she couldn't find her dear daughter. (Yeah, right. 'Dear daughter'. HMPH!) She even asked help from Alexis' friends, Louis, Rick, and Carmelita. They too were worried and couldn't find her. They asked the police, but no one could help them. Until of course, they found footage of outside the Empire State Building, with Alexis running away with 3 kids. Uh-oh. Now, Ms. Cruz was clear sighted, and she saw that one of the kids was a satyr. Hermes, how dare he?! How dare he try to kidnap her child, using other children. And a satyr! Alexis' friends were in the house, talking to her. "Her panda hat, and her iPod. Those are the only things she's brought. But she brought no clothes." Carmelita pointed out. "There's got to be a reason she ran away.." Rick said, looking suspiciously at Ms. Cruz. "Maybe those 3 kids convinced her into coming with them." Louis suggested. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Ms. Cruz ran for it, hoping it was the police. But, no. It was Hermes.

"HERMES! HERMES, HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY CHILD! HOW DARE YOU USE OTHERS TO KIDNAP HER! HOW DARE YOU! Did you take care of her? No. You left right when she was born. You left her, you left me! You left us for other women! GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD!" Ms. Cruz, but for now we call her Amelia, screamed. Hermes glowered. There was thunder and lightning clashing in the skies. The 3 freshmen stared at him, not knowing what was about to happen. He slammed the door. "Your child? Your child, Amelia?! You made the girl suffer! You never let her out of the house except for school, you hurt her! You hurt my daughter!" he shouted, and there was a storm brewing. He continued, "You've treated her like she was trash, and do you know how hard it was, watching her get hurt and being called a monster?! Do you?! Oh ,no you don't! You were the one who caused the pain! The pain to Alexis, the pain to me! I told you why I left you! But you decided to make lies. I thought you were smart. I thought you could be trusted with a child." He got a gold coin out of his pocket, and threw it in the little fountain model at the living room table. Carmelita, Louis, and Rick flinched. Oh. He threw it in the water. "Iris, accept it and connect me to my daughter at the Hermes cabin." A rainbow shimmered, and the 4 mortals, all clear-sighted, saw Alexis having fun with some other people. She gasped. "DAD! YOU GUYS! DAD'S HERE!" She grinned. Her half- brothers and sister crowded over her. "Hi dad!" They all greeted. Amelia slapped Hermes, which of course didn't hurt him. "You've been cheating on me! Look at how many children you have! Look at—" he cut her off. "Some of them aren't my children, Amelia. Be quiet." The other 3 kids were staring at Alexis in disbelief. "Alexis?! Where are you?! Are you okay?!" they screamed a bundle of questions. Now, to any other mortal, they would look like they were fighting, but they obviously were not. Alexis smiled through the rainbow. "Hi guys. Sorry I left you." She said. "But are you safe?" Carmelita asked once they calmed down. Alexis grinned and nodded. "I want you to meet my brothers and sisters and some relatives. Hey, all of you! Yes, even unclaimed DGs! Come here! These are my mortal friends!" she shouted, and a lot of people came into the rainbow. Then it started fading. Hermes rolled his eyes. "Oh, here you go, then!" He threw another gold coin. The rainbow went back to normal. The 4 friends talked for a while, when someone announced curfew. Alexis smiled. "Well guys, it's time for curfew. I promise you'll see me again. Bye!" Alexis threw a blow-kiss to the 3 of them. They waved, and she was gone. Hermes smiled. "Can someone please explain?" Carmelita asked. Hermes looked at Amelia, who had just finished sobbing. Hermes had just finished his argument with her, leaving her with no excuse. "I'm sorry. But now is not the time. You will learn soon, but for now, no. Do not tell anyone about this." He said. The three of them nodded. "Now close your eyes. All of you." Amelia's eyes were already closed, because she had gotten sleepy. The 3 kids closed theirs, and there was a bright light. By the time it was gone, Hermes was. Amelia regained posture, and looked around. "What happened? Did you find out anything?" Louis and Rick were about to say something, but Carmelita cut them off. If someone doesn't have memories, that probably means that they shouldn't know. "We haven't, Ms. Cruz. But I hope we will. We have to go now. Let's go, you two." They followed her out. "I don't know how she lost her memories, but remember not to tell anyone. Even her." They changed the subject and started talking about Alexis and her cabin-mates. Carmelita prayed that she would be okay.
