Percy's POV

There was a sickening pop as I walked through the energy, but I appeared unharmed. Are you alright?" Annabeth asked cautiously. I exaggerated checking myself for bruises or singe marks then said, "I'm fine Wise Girl...stop worrying so much. This force field is probably only meant to keep mortals out. It's perfectly safe for demigod." Annabeth sighed in exasperation and said "I hope your right Seaweed Brain. It better not just be your Achilles heel that saved you. But I'm staying over here. "I sighed and shook my head, then quickly reached through the energy wall, and pulled her through.

"Oh my gods! Percy! I could have just died if you weren't right!" she screamed at me.

"But I was right! See, there was nothing to worry about Annabeth!" I exclaimed. "Yeah I guess so..." Annabeth retorted. "Now let's go find out who she is and what she did to cause this mess." We cautiously walked over to the mysterious girl and kneeled down next to her. "I don't understand, she should've been brought to camp months ago..." Annabeth said.

Suddenly, the girl's eyelids flashed open to reveal beautiful, large eyes and she sat up quickly. "Where am I?" She asked, confused. "And who are you?" She quickly surveyed her surroundings and her eyes grew even larger in alarm. "What happened here?"

"Calm down." Annabeth said calmly. "We're friends...this building exploded and we were hoping you could tell US what happened here. Do you remember anything before the explosion?"

"Umm...I don't remember anyth...wait yes...I remember...I was researching something for a school project...mythology...Greek...and my Aunt came over and began to shout at me and told me that I shouldn't have been looking it up...then she said something...and then the next thing I knew I was here, where we are now."

Annabeth and I exchanged looks. I turned towards the girl and asked, "Do you remember what your aunt said?"

"Ummm...something along the lines of...'Holy Hades...he found us'. " The girl said. "Wait...why am I telling you all this...I don't even know your names."

"I'm Annabeth Chase and this is Percy Jackson. And you are...?"

"I'm Pearl Jackson... Funny how that works out...isn't it. Guess it's a pretty common last name." Pearl shrugged. "What are you guys doing here anyway?" She asked. "And why do you care so much about what happened?" "No reason...but you should probably come with us." I said. "But what about my Aunt?" Pearl asked. "She'll be fine...but you really need to come with us."

After a long taxi ride, we finally reached Camp Half-Blood. "There it is, Half-Blood hill," I said. Pearl gave a confused look, and then asked, "What's half-blood mean?" Annabeth quickly interrupted me as I began to tell her and said, "Here we are...let's get out" and paid the cab driver.

As we walked passed Peleus, Pearl let out a gasp. "Is that...a dragon?" I smiled at her shocked expression and said, "Yep, it protects the Golden Fleece." Pearl looked overwhelmed, but kept walking. Once we got to the Big House, Annabeth told Pearl to wait on the porch.

Me and Annabeth entered the Big House and immediately went to Chiron who was playing a friendly game of pinochle.

"Chiron" Annabeth began. "We found another demigod." "And why are you coming to me about it? Give them a temporary room and show them around camp...you know how to do orientation." Chiron said obviously not wanting to be interrupted during his game. "But this one is... special". I replied. We quickly told Chiron the details of our encounter with Pearl and his cheerful face grew worried. "It seems that an explosion like that would only come from one of the gods…...I wonder what about this girl caused such wrath." Chiron said softly. "Well, give her a room, and normal orientation, but keep a close eye on her. Make sure nothing else happens."

Annabeth and Percy returned to the porch and Pearl, seeing them come out, stood. "Well, what are you going to do with me? Throw me into the fire? Explode me?" Annabeth smiled slightly and said "We're not going to do anything to you. Just come inside and we'll give you a room. Then we'll show you around camp."

After Pearl settled in, we took her around camp and told her about her heritage. "So... I'm related to all these kids here?" Pearl asked. "Well...sorta I mean godly blood isn't really DNA genetics. It's sorta like...your family that isn't blood related...like your step-cousins and stuff. Your considered family but not by blood. I mean it's ok if me and Percy date because we're not really related but if we were to say, I was dating one of Athena's sons...to would be like dating your brother. Get it?" Annabeth explained. "Yeah...I guess..."

"You're taking this better than other demigods." I said. Pearl shrugged her shoulders and replied "Well if you say so...I guess I kinda just expected something was going on that was supernatural...you know…all those freaky storms and stuff last year."

Grover then trotted over to us and bleated, "Hi Percy, Hey Annabeth, and hi! I'm Grover! Who might you be?" Pearl looked a little surprised but answered, "Umm…hey, I'm Pearl...excuse me for asking but are you...part goat?" Grover smiled and said "Finally! A camper who doesn't first think that I'm part donkey or sheep. And my kind is called satyrs. So who's your godly parent Pearl?" "Umm...I don't know" she said shyly. Grover suddenly perked up and said, "This is the perfect time to test my newest project!" I gave a confused look, and asked Grover, "What project?"

"I've testing different demigod smells and I think I've got it now. So now, if I smell a demigod I can tell what godly parent they belong to! Pearl, you don't mind if I smell you for a moment do you?" Grover said excitedly. Pearl nervously responded"...ummm I guess so?" "Great!" Grover said, and he began to sniff the air around her. He gave a puzzled look then asked "Percy, why did you bring a mortal here?"

I'm sorry if you really hate cliffhangers but I felt like this was a good place to leave off at. Sorry if some of the characters are out of character!
