Chapter 2
I was dead. I had to be because I was flying through the sky like a bird. It felt amazing! I was soaring through the clouds and they left a cool mist on my face. Then I thought back to the huge dog with razor sharp fangs and coal black fur and then the two kids that helped me. I wondered what my mom would think a part time dog trainer killed by a dog, its so ironic it's almost funny, almost. Then I looked ahead and saw a huge blinding light and thought 'ah so I'm not dead I'm dying' I kept flying twards the light. Plus I don't think I cloud have turned away if I tried. Then right as I was beside the blinding light I stopped then I heard a voice distinctly male "train my daughter find your power". Then I felt like I was being sucked away by a vacuum.
I woke up. I was in a room filled with white cots I went to get up but someone held my arm down then once again I remembered yesterday and felt pain shoot up my arm. "Hold still" a voice said and I looked over to see a blond surfer looking dude with sky blue eyes re-bandaging my arm. "Who are you?" I asked. Sure this guy was fixing me up but I had no idea who he was or where we were cause I knew this sure as heck wasn't a hospital. "I'm Will Solace son of Apollo" he said, and right now your doctor so please hold still while I finish bandaging your arm. (A/N sorry if wills a bit OOC its been a while since ive read some of the PJO books) I sat still and stared as he finished, his fingers worked like they had done this a million times before. then I thought 'he said he was a doctor he probably has done it a million times I wonder if he counts dang stupid ADHD brain'. "okay" he said "your all good but here drink this it will make you feel better". He handed me a drink that looked kind of like apple juice with ice in it. I debated in my head don't drink it or drink it. I chose drink it because I was dehydrated. As soon as I drank a small sip I started feeling better. It oddly tasted like my mom's tuna patties just out of the frying pan. After I drank a bit and put the glass on the bedside table I thought back to this Will Solace guy he introduced himself as a son of Apollo, weird he was one of the gods in Greek mythology. "what did you mean when you said you were a son of Apollo?" I asked. Hey don't judge I don't talk much anyway and when I do I usually get to the point. "ah , right to the point I see okay my mom had a relationship with the Greek god Apollo and ta-da I came so im a demigod , half god half human but we demigods are like magnets to monsters like the one that attacked you so we come to camp one of the only safe places for people like us". So when I put two and two together I said "wait your saying my dad was a god?" . "well yeah pretty much" "wow" I said "so that's why he never came around"
I went to get up only to be stopped by a hand on my arm. "take it easy" he said "you lost a lot of blood" "I'm fine thanks" I said and walked to the door. When I opened the door I did not expect what I saw , there were all types of weird cabins one looked like the ocean floor, another looked like a mini version of a vampires castle , one had a grass roof. "woah" I said then it occurred to me where the heck am I? I turned around to see surfer boy standing there and said "where am I?!" "this is camp half-blood " he said. "okay " I said starting to get agitated "where is camp half-blood like as in what state?" in my head I'm going please say Oklahoma please say Oklahoma! "oh were in long island New York" he said nonchalantly. "WHAT!?" I screeched apparently my glare is pretty scary cause he shrunk back a little and was at least a foot taller than me. "it's okay" he said "your mom knows where your at". I had more thoughts and emotions running through my head than ever before. then I remembered the two kids that had the swords "where are those kids that helped me?" I asked "the ones that helped me", "oh Katie and Travis?" he asked "here follow me Travis is in sword practice but Katie and the Demeter cabin are all out in the strawberry fields." He started walking over towards some fields with kids in them, finally something familiar. We walked down the rows of strawberry bushes and I watched the kids work with them it was like the plants were listening to them. As we walked I noticed some of the kids were staring I looked down and noticed I was still wearing my outfit from earlier minus some of the sleeve on one arm. We walked up to who I recognized as the girl who was at the mall once again wearing an orange shirt which I now notice everyone is wearing and some shorts. "Hey Katie!" Will yelled when we got about ten foot away. She looked up and smiled and said "hey Will" then she looked at me and said "Hi there I'm Katie what's your name?" "hi it's nice to meet you I'm Sophia and thanks for saving me back at the mall" "Actually thank you if you hadn't thrown that knife that hell hound probably would have gotten me, where'd you learn how to throw knives like that?" "oh my mom taught me to use that as a last minute attack for self-defense" I answered "well we will have to get you some daggers for training" she said "okay" I said "thanks". Then she looked to will why don't you take her to the Athena cabin to see if shes claimed". "Okay" he said "follow me bye Katie!" "Bye Will, bye Sophia" Katie said as we walked away. "Bye Katie!" I said as I followed Will out of the fields. i wonder why she asked him to take me to the Athena cabin I thought. "Probably cause of your name and your eye color" Will said. "I said that out loud didn't I?" I asked. "Yep" he said.
When we got to the Athena cabin it looked pretty much just like a regular cabin it was grey with an owl above the door. Will knocked on the door and a girl about seventeen with grey eyes and honey blond princess curls opened it and said "hey Will who's this?". "Hey Annabeth" Will said "this is Sophia she's the new camper that Katie and Travis found" "oh" she said "is she Athena?". "I don't know" I said a little ticked off that they were talking about me in front of ME, "my mom never even let on I was a demigod" I said just then remembering who Athena was, hey don't blame me I love Greek mythology and all but still it can get confusing sometimes. "ah" she said "well lunch is about to start so follow me Percy is supposed to be here". Then Will said "I have to get back to my cabin can you tell Percy I said hi for me?". "sure" she said then she popped her head in the cabin and said "lunch!" and all of a sudden there were about twelve more kids from Annabeth's age to it looked about eight and every single one of them had honey blond hair and grey eyes. "Follow me" she said and they took off running.
Dang they were fast I considered myself an okay runner but it was all I could do to keep up with them then I felt my foot hit something and I fell flat on my face. I looked up to see a guy about my age leaning up against one of the cabins he had short light brown curly hair and dark teal blue eyes with a smirk on his face he said "oops I'm soooo sorry please let me help you" in the most sarcastic tone I've ever heard. I got up by myself and spit some grass out of my mouth "what'd ya do that for?" I asked already mad at him. "well, well, well looks like we have a country bumkin' here with us" he said trying to imitate my accent. See I don't have that much of an accent except when I'm mad then I sound like those people in the old country and western movies. "well at least I don't sound like I have a potato in my mouth" I muttered. "Oh well" he said "now let me introduce myself I am Carter Damon son of the magnificent Hermes.
