So I realized I might have confused or upset people when i put that my character had learned Latin from an exchange student from Austria just like my friend, but I kind of promised her a spot in the story, and the Austria exchange student will actually have a different name if she's mentioned again at all, most likely when reminiscing about her past if she is.

Also, this story isn't about one New Camper. Once Chloë starts getting into a place where she's more comfortable with demigod life, we'll introduce a new New Camper.

If you haven't checked out my other story Final Moments, please do. I really am proud of my first chapter, and it was actually my second chapter, but I had an OC in first chapter, which my other story isn't about, so I put OC 2nd, and Beckendorf 1st. Also, Beckendorf, if you think about it, was like the first sacrifice during the war, the first death. Then we get Lee, Castor, Silena, Michael, Luke, etc...

Anyways, what the next few chapters are going to be has been posted in that story at top of Chapter 2. I am also starting another new story soon, but I am not going to spoil it, just be excited. Alright, I've typed long enough, enjoy the story.

Disclaimer: If i owned PJO Percy woulda defeated Gaia and Leo would crack even more jokes if humanely possible, but, alas, i do not.

Chapter 7:

Archery

I'm glad to have Thalia around. Really, I am.

It's just...the Hunters cause problems. Like right now, for example.

"I am not saying you're bad at archery, just that we're better."

"No chance in Hades that a boy is better than us!"

"Will, stop tempting the Hunters to prove how good they are by shooting you with an arrow."

"Then let me show them. I'll teach them not to mess with the children of Apollo!"

I walked closer to the spot where some Hunters; Marie, Julian, and Claire, were fighting with some children of Apollo; Will, Kayla, and Alexa.

"Go ahead and try. No child of Apollo could possibly beat a Hunter of Artemis, especially not a boy."

Why is it every time the Hunters come to camp, i have to intervene before your cabin starts a fight with them?" I asked Will pointedly, shooting him a glare.

"You wouldn't have to if these so called 'archers' would admit that the children of Apollo are better than them," argued Alexa, a recently claimed daughter of Apollo.

"Who started this stupid debate over who's the better archer?" I asked, intent on teaching said person a lesson for causing more problems and tension between the groups.

"Apollo and Artemis," Will says, as if it were obvious.

"I meant today."

"They did!" screamed both groups, pointing at each other. I sighed, knowing I was basically dealing with first graders right now.

"No! It was you!" Alexa shouted, her face red with anger, "If it wasn't for you coming over and saying you couldn't practice with 'lowly males that dare claim to be archers', this never would have started!"

"Well, I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't true," Julian said innocently, tucking a loose strand of red hair behind her ear.

"Oh please, just because you hunt all day and get to see a goddess once in a while you think you're all that. Well, guess what, this is our camp, and no wanna be archers are going to change that." Alexa sneered, stepping forward to engage the Hunters. She probably would have tried to punch one if Kala hadn't placed a calming hand on her shoulder and pulled her back.

"Enough. All of you are acting like children." I raised a hand to silence the protests of the Hunters, "I don't care if you are technically 8, or 10, or whatever. You've been that age long enough to at least act mature. I don't want to see you bickering again. Got it?" I said strictly, daring them to argue. The two groups nodded their heads before an arrow imbedded itself in the ground at their feet, making them jump back in surprise. Everyone immediately readied their weapons and looked around for the threat.

"I'm so, so sorry!" Chloë said, running up to retrieve her arrow. "I didn't hit anyone, did I?" she asked, looking around worriedly before relaxing a bit when she realized no one was injured.

"Why are you shooting arrows at us?" Claire asked warily, eyeing her with suspicion.

Chloë shrunk under her gaze. I didn't mean to. I can't hit the target to save my life," she said shamefully, avoiding everyone's eyes.

"What? These children of Apollo aren't capable of teaching either? What a surprise!" Marie said, drowning the last words in sarcasm. Chloë, obviously noticing the tension between the Hunters and the campers, looked to me for help. I shrugged, letting her figure this out on her own. It'd help her learn, just like Percy and Clarisse.

"No. They're great teachers! I'm just-well-I suck at archery. I'm unteachable," she glanced at me-and for a second-I thought I saw something hostile in her eyes, but as soon as it was there, it was gone.

'Nonsense! Everyone can be taught to do something-well every girl anyways-some just need more patience and support." Mare glared at Will before turning to Claire, a brunette who could be 10, but looks can be deceiving. "Do you think you could help her?"

Claire nodded before escorting a hesitant Chloë over to a target at the end. She had Chloë pick up her bow and hold it, adjusting her grip so that she was holding it properly. Claire handed Chloë n arrow, she in turn notched it and drew back the string. When Chloë stopped, Claire put her hands over Chloë's and pulled back a bit more, then adjusted her posture. Finally she stepped back and told Chloë to aim.

She stared at the target for some time before finally taking a deep breath and releasing the string.

The arrow ripped through the air before hitting the target. It wasn't perfect, a bit too far left and down in the middle ring, but in the target nonetheless. Chloë smiled and literally started jumping up and down joyfully, stopping only when she realized we were still present and watching.

Chloë and Claire walked back to where we stood, the entire time Chloë was trying not to smile, but failing miserably.

"See? Now what was that about not being able to hit the target?" Julian teased.

"I had a bow before . . . all this. I couldn't hit anything I aimed at. Ever. I'd found it fun in school but was horrible. That's the closest I've ever gotten," Chloë explained shyly.

"Looks like you just needed a good teacher," Marie said, looking pointedly at Will, Kayla, and Alexa with a smug expression.

"You know, I just remembered I have to be anywhere but here," Alexa said, already walking away.

"Schist! I have to go to my Ancient Greek lesson. Thanks for helping me guys!" Chloë called, already walking backwards.

"No problem." Claire replied, waving back to her.

Chloë turned and sprinted towards the Big House. I couldn't help but feel I was missing something as I watched her go.

"New camper?" Marie asked, still watching Chloë's retreat.

"Yep." Marie nodded in response, looking deep in thought.

"Remember what I said. No more fighting." I warned before turning to follow Chloë.

LINE BREAK (OF PURPLE PANDAS)

"So, who's your teacher?" I asked, catching up to her.

"God, Annabeth, You scared me." Chloë said, relief evident in her voice.

It's gods, I thought, but decide against saying something for the moment. Smiling in amusement, she looked at me curiously. "So, who's your teacher?" I asked again when she gave no reply.

"You're head counselor of the Athena cabin, right? Shouldn't you know this sort of stuff?" she said with a bitter undertone.

"Well, I don't set up lessons, Chiron does, and I see no good reason to stalk my siblings, so no." I retort, seeing her flinch at the word siblings.

"Then, if you must know, Ellie."

"Ellie? Who's Ellie?" I ask, stopping, "I don't have a sibling named Ellie."

"You're right again, Oh great Wise One," she said rolling her eyes, "her names Elizabeth, but she told me to call her Ellie" She replies, looking at me with pure amusement, waiting for a reply. "What do you know? You had no clue, did you? I would have thought you'd know your own siblings nickname."

"I . . . I . . .-" I gave up. "Who's Elizabeth? I know a Beth, a Lizzy, and a Liz, and only Liz is a daughter of Athena, but I'm pretty sure her full name is Linsey."

Chloë was now looking at me in utter disbelief. I didn't blame her. 'You still don't know who she is? Blonde hair, grey eyes-" she stopped and face palmed, "I'm describing the entire Athena cabin now. I'm going to be late for my lesson. I'll see you around." With that she ran off.

How could I not know my own sibling? Have I really been spending that much time with Percy?

LINE BREAK (OF INSUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE TEST SCORES)

The Hunters didn't cause any real problems for the rest of the day. I was beginning to think they'd actually listened to my warning until the campfire sing-along started and they decided to use the Apollo campers lading the sing-along for target practice.

Let's just leave it at the campfire was cancelled

LINE BREAK (OF TARGET PRACTICE DUMMIES)

I wake up to shouting outside my cabin. I walk over to the window and peer out to see two campers arguing-exactly what I expected to see.

Only it's not who I expected to see. Instead of a Hunter and a camper, it's Percy and Chloë.

"-with the weapon I have. I don't need a different one, and I'm not switching from a sword."

"I'm not saying you should stop using a sword, or switch to another weapon as your main choice, I'm just asking you to try other-"

"I don't want to! Okay? I'm sticking with the longsword I got from the armory yesterday."

"But if you just let me explain what Jason-"

"Percy. Stop. I don't feel like arguing right now, especially not with you. I'm picking strawberries this morning, so unless you want to deal with a bunch of Demeter kids, I have to go." Chloë walked to the Demeter cabin, meeting Katie who was outside, before they headed to the strawberry fields.

"I see you're finally up. Usually I'm the one sleeping in." Percy mocked.

"Shut up Seaweed Brain," I said, pecking him on the lips. "So what was all that about?"

"I was thinking about her fighting style from the last time we sparred. I couldn't help but notice that a sword just doesn't seem . . . right for her. I don't know what it is. It just doesn't seem to fit her."

"Did you try telling her this?"

"I might have said something about a sword not being the right weapon for her, but I think she took it the wrong way."

I sighed, seeing his frustration. "Come on Seaweed Brain, I'm hungry. Let's grab some food."

"Sure thing Wise Girl." Percy smirked, and with that we headed towards the dining pavilion for another day of activities.

Okay, I couldn't find a good stopping point for the end here, so forgive me if it sucks. I'm usually okay at endings…

Anyways, I typed this up on the 19th, and I don't know if I'll find something else or not, but for right now, this updates recommendation is:

First Noel by HecateA

I don't only recommend HecateA, It's just I recently started reading one shots, and her The Parent Drabbles were the 2nd thing I read on this site, so I looked through her 288 stories and read a few one shots. First Noel was one of my favs. It's basically Jason's first Christmas, and Leo and Piper make sure to give him the full experience. Really good Leo, so of course it's funny, and it's not at all OOC in my opinion. Enjoy.

Don't flirt with naiads, be nice to Peleus, and no drowning your pancakes in syrup unless you're a son of Poseidon.
