Camp Half-Blood

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO

Sophia's POV

We were parked on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere. I (sadly) couldn't bring my car, but I did bring Spicy. Hallie brought her Wave Runner (don't ask how) and aquarium (again, don't ask). We brought the rest of our Christmas presents, including the ones from the gods.

Rachel rented us all a limousine, so we all rode in the same car. Aunt Thalia was the first out of the limo, and she walked to the pine tree on this deserted hill. When we all got out of the car after her, we stopped at the tree too.

"I used to be this tree," she said.

"My mother was a tree?! I've seen it all at thirteen!" Tanya cried. Aunt Thalia nodded and told us the story of her tree.

"So this hill is always called Half-Blood Hill, and this tree is Thalia's Pine," Aunt Thalia concluded. She smirked at Dad, "Percy calls me Pinecone Face sometimes because of it."

"I think we should be getting to camp now. Chiron is waiting," Dad suggested.

Once I passed Thalia's Pine, I was surprised to see cabins, an arena, a mess hall, a rock wall, an amphitheater, a Big House, volleyball courts, an arts-and-crafts pavilion, stables, and an armory, "Whoa," I said along with the other kids.

Our parents led us to the Big House, where we were met by a centaur and a bored-looking man, "You're a centaur!" Tanya remarked.

"Oh joy, Peter and Annabelle have returned. And look! They brought their offspring! Wonderful," the bored-looking man said sarcastically.

"Nice to see you too, Mr. D," Dad replied. Uncle Nico snorted.

"This must be Sophia, Hallie, Greg, Stella, and Tanya! Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. My name is Chiron," the centaur said, "Sophia and Hallie will choose from the Poseidon and Athena Cabins. Tanya will choose from the Zeus and Apollo Cabins. Stella will not have a choice because we do not have a Hades Cabin. Stella will stay in the Zeus Cabin, and Greg will stay in the Apollo Cabin."

"I will stay in the Athena Cabin," I said.

"I will stay in the Poseidon Cabin," Hallie said.

"I will stay in the Apollo Cabin," Tanya said.

"Then leave," Mr. D commanded. He's a sour grape.

Mom led me to the Athena Cabin. When she entered, everyone looked up. Everyone looked back to what they were doing except the oldest. She approached us, "I mean no offense when I say this, but aren't you a little too old to be a camper?"

Mom laughed, "I'm not a camper anymore. I used to be though." She bit her lip before continuing, "You probably heard my maiden name before."

The girl looked curious, "Maybe."

Mom took a deep breath. It seemed as if she knew that this girl knew her name, "I am Annabeth Chase."

The girl's eyes widened, "You are very famous around here; you, Percy, Thalia, and Nico. Even Aura, Tommy, Theodore, and Tracey are spoken a lot about. It is an honor to meet you," then she turned to me, "I'm guessing you're the new camper?" Who is Tracey?

"Yes. I'm her daughter," I pointed to Mom, "Sophia Jackson." The girl grinned at my last name.

"We all knew Annabeth would marry Percy," she said, "I'm Jessie, the cabin leader. Let me show you to your bunk." Jessie led me to a bed that was already made and empty of any personal items around it.

Mom helped me unpack all my stuff, and I noticed everyone in the Cabin watched her sometimes. I could tell I was going to have a great time here, and that I was going to make a lot of friends. Everyone I met so far (except Mr. D) has been really nice.

Hallie's POV

Dad led me to the Poseidon Cabin. When we walked in, a man with one eye looked up. He's a Cyclops! He smiled a goofy grin when he saw Dad, "Percy!"

"Hey big guy! How's it going?" Dad greeted the Cyclops.

"Is that Hallie? I made her and Sophia watch shields!" the Cyclops said.

"Yes, that's Hallie. Hallie, this is my half-brother, Tyson," Dad explained.

"So I call you Uncle Tyson?" I asked Tyson.

He grinned, "Yep!" as he pulled me into a big bear hug. When he let go, he held out a watch for me to take. Dad helped me put it on.

When I got it on, I pushed the face of the watch. Out popped a shield. I looked in a mirror and saw that the picture on the shield was of a sea serpent, "Cool! Thanks, Uncle Tyson!" He beamed at me.

"I got to go help in the armory. Give this to Sophia when you see her for me!" Uncle Tyson told Dad as he gave him another watch. Dad nodded, and Uncle Tyson left. I picked a bunk and Dad helped me unpack.

Stella's POV

Mom and Aunt Thalia led me to the Zeus Cabin. I was surprised to find it empty. Mom and Aunt Thalia were only mildly surprised. I wonder why it looked as if they expected it to be empty, but was prepared for someone.

I chose a bunk and Mom and Aunt Thalia helped me unpack. I didn't have much stuff, so it wasn't exactly a difficult task. We were done in a matter of seconds.

Greg's POV

Dad and Theodore led Tanya and I to the Apollo Cabin. A guy about seventeen greeted us at the door, "My name is Mike and I'm the cabin leader. You two are the oldest campers I've ever met," Mike said, pointing to the adults.

I laughed, and so did Tanya, "We're not campers," Theodore explained. "We used to be, but now we're escorting our kids to their cabins. I'm Theodore Fisher by the way. This is Tommy Smith."

"Whoa, are you the same Tommy and Theodore who are friends with Percy Jackson?" Mike asked.

"Yes. He's here right now, getting one of his daughters settled into the Poseidon Cabin. Annabeth is helping their other daughter get settled in the Athena Cabin. Thalia, Theodore's wife, is with Aura helping Aura's daughter get settled in the Zeus Cabin. Nico and my wife Rachel are with Chiron," Dad explained.

Mike's eyes were bugging out, "Is your wife the Rachel that helped on the labyrinth quest and hit Kronos in the eye with a blue hairbrush?"

"The very same," Dad said proudly.

"Anyway, this is my daughter Tanya. That is Tommy's son Greg. They will be staying here," Theodore got back to the subject.

"Oh right! I'll show you to your bunks," Mike showed us bunks on opposite sides of the room. The side Tanya was on was surrounded by girly things, and side I was on had guy things around it. I had a bottom bunk, and so did Tanya.

Theodore helped Tanya unpack her stuff, and Dad helped me unpack mine. I needed to go ask someone something, so I rushed through my unpacking. I was finally satisfied with my stuff (and so was Dad), and I ran out the door.
