Well then, I've been suffering from writer's block ALL DAY and it just stopped. Yaaaaay! You should already know this by now, but I'll tell you anyways. I DON"T OWN PJO "SOB". ONWARD!


"So, let me get this straight." Asked Tina." All those Greek gods are real and this is a training camp for their children?"

"Yes, that about sums it up." Answered the freaky horse man, Chiron.

"Okay. I believe you, but only because of all of the weird stuff that happened today." She shuddered.

"Yeah, I believe you too. It explains a lot..." I trailed off, thinking back to that fateful day seven years ago.

"Great, you believe. Now can I please go to my cabin?" Nico asked Chiron, with a sad attempt at puppy-dog eyes.

"Go ahead, I'll just have Lila (That's ME!) from the Demeter cabin to show them around." Chiron told him. "Could you get her for me?"

"Sure Chiron." He called as he ran towards the door.

Chiron returned his gaze to us.

"How old are you two?" He asked us.

"I'm twelve, and she's thirteen." I answered automatically, snapping my head in his direction.

"Hmm. Tina, you should have been claimed by now. But no problem, you will probably be claimed in a few days time." He turned to me."You will be claimed by the time you turn thirteen, so it may take a while. In the mean time you will both stay in cabin 11." He might have said more, but a girl walked in.

"Hi Chiron, Nico said you wanted me?" She asked.

"Ah, Lila. I need you to show these two around camp, and help them get settled in."

"Sure." Lila turned and smiled at us. "I'm Lila-Celeste, but you can call me Lila. Lets start with the rock wall, shall we?"


Lila showed us everything, from Arts and crafts to Thalia's pine. Tina gasped at everything she saw. And I'm not gonna lie, I did too.

"And that my cabin, the Demeter cabin. And here's where your staying, Cabin 11." She scrunched up her nose when she said "Cabin 11", like she was annoyed with it.

She knocked on the door and two boys stepped out. For a second I thought I was seeing double, but then I realized they were twins.

"Sup Lilac." One said, grinning. "I thought you were still mad about the whole "feeding all of your plants to bunnies" thing."

Lila scowled.

"One, DON"T CALL ME THAT! Two, I'm still trying to grow back my carrots! And third, we have two new campers here." She motioned to us.

"Calm down, geez." Said the other twin. He turned to us, smiling mischievously. "I'm Conner, and this is Travis."

"Why don't you join us, we were just going to visit the Ares cabin and give them some "gifts"." Snickered Travis.

"Uh, no." Said Tina. "Just show us where we sleep, and don't talk to me."

"Bye guys, good luck with the bozo twins!" Lila told us as she walked to her cabin, her long, brown hair swishing. This should be fun.

After they showed us our bunks, I conked out. It had been a long day, and I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

An unseen figure stood on a dark sidewalk, mumbling to herself.

"Oh dear, I'm so very hungry." She rubbed her stomach. "I wonder if there are any tasty little halfbloods around here..."

A street lamp came on, revealing the figure's appearance. Her face was a molted green, and it was covered with scales. The she-demon wore a tattered white dress, with blood stains splattered here and there. She had a crazed, hungry look in her yellow eyes, and long white claws where her fingernails should have been. She stuck her nose in the air, and sniffed loudly. A wild grin spread over her face and she raced towards a nearby house, laughing manically. A few seconds after she entered, a scream of pure terror arose from the house. It stopped as soon as it started, and the monster ran out. She never stopped laughing. Then the dream went dark, and the only thing visible was the mailbox. On it's side, written in greek was the family's last name. Brightly.
