Hey guys, sorry it took me so long to upload a chapter, but i still haven't gotten wifi...it'll be about a month or so until i do...

PJO does not belong to me...

ENJOY!

"I'm glad to be here, I think," I said carefully.

Chiron laughed.

He took me around he camp, showing me where and what everything was.

"Since we don't know who your godly parent is, you'll have to stay in the Hermes' cabin," Chiron said.

I nodded, and headed over to cabin 11, and opened the front door slowly.

the first thing that greeted me was the noise. it was really loud.

I looked around. Sleeping bags, blankets, and pillows were spread oout everywhere on the floor. Both boys and girls messing with each other.

I saw a boy around 11 years old sneak over to an unintened sleeping bag, and take something that was inside of it.

I turned around and headed to cabin 3.

I knocked on the door, and slowly opened it. Percy was unpacking his bags, and putting his things away.

When he saw me, he smiled.

"What's up?" He asked.

"I need a favor," I said.

"Depends."

"Can I leave my bags in here?" I asked.

"Hermes cabin?" He asked with a grimace.

I nodded.

"Yeah, you can leave your bags in here. Just don't be making a mess, or coming in here in the middle of the night," He said grinning.

"Yeah, and don't you be going through my bags," I said putting them down.

I left before he could say anything.

It was lunch time, so i got in line to get food.

I got a hamburger, chips, an apple, and sat down at the Hermes table.

I started eating and got interupted by someone screaming.

I choked down the food in my mouth, and ran towards where the scream came from.

I found some 11 year old up in a tree with a scratch above her left eye, and she had her right arm cradled to her chest. She was staring at something to my left.

When I looked, I couldn't see anything, so I climbed up the tree to the girl.

"Why are you up a tree?" I asked,

"I didn't want to be up the tree," She said a little angrily. "I was thrown up here by a demon."

My eyes widened in surpirse, and I quickly climbed back down the tree.

"Aren't you going to help me down?" She asked.

I looked back up at her, and shook my head.

"If there's a demon, your probably safer up there," I said running off.

I heard her yell some not-so-friendly words that should never be repeated, but kept running.

I ran to the Big House and found Chiron sitting on the porch.

"Chiron, there's been a report of a demon in camp," I said breathlessly.

His smile faded.

"Go tell everyone," He said going into the Big House.

"DEMON ATTACK! DEMON ATTACK!" I yelled running through camp.

Everybody looked at me weirdly. Some of the campers didn't move, or take me seriously, but all the rest got up, and grabbed weopans.

I looked around for any signs of a demon, but found none.

Next thing I know something touched my arm, and I jumped around ten feet in the air.

"Dang, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Percy said.

I took a deep breath to slow my heart rate.

"You hear there's a demon in the camp?" I asked.

His eyes widened and he shook his head.

"I was eating when I heard this scream, and I found a girl up in a tree, saying a demon threw her up there," I said.

He grabbed his pen/sword, and uncapped it.

He looked around, but just like me, found nothing.

We kept looking around, and a few minutes later I heard something strange.

"You hear that?" I asked straining my ears.

"No," He said. "What do you hear?"
I shook my head slowly and said, "It sounds like something is dragging on the ground. No, like something is crawling on the ground. Kind of slithering sound, like a snake."

He looked confused, but then it looked as though he could hear what I could.

I continued to look around, and noticed more campers had joined Percy, and I, and were also looking around. They all looked as though they heard the weird slithering sound.

I pin-pointed the general area of the noise, and once again Percy scared the crap out of me.

"I dont think you should be fighting. You have had no training," He said.

"I don't need trianing to know how to fight," I said

"Just because you think you know how to fight, doesn't mean you know how to fight," He said

I glared at him. "I helping whether you like it or not," I said stobbornly.

He opened his mouth to argue, but was interuppted when the demon came out of the trees.

It was a woman from the waist up, but from the waist down it was a snake. She has long, smooth, light brown hair, and is pale. She was standing at about ten feet, and looked pissed.

She stopped, and looked around at us. She grinned wickedly, and licked her lips.

"Look at all thessse yummy children," She hissed. "Ssso many to choossse from."

She was talking in a whispery way, and kind of slowly.

Her grin grew bigger.

"Maybe I could jussst eat all of you?" She made it sound like a question.

She slowly started toward us, and a camper from the Hermes cabin, made the mistake of chargering the demon.

She picked him up, and held him close to her mouth.

"A voulenteer?" She asked him.

The camper shook his head vigerously.

She laughed coldly.

She lifted him over her mouth, and opened wide.

Before she could drop him in her mouth some other camper threw something at her. She whipped her head to the camper, and dropped the guy onto the ground.

She slowly advanced the camper who threw something at her.

"That's Lamia," Percy whispered breathily in my ear.

My head swam in the storied I have read about her.

I suddenly ran off the kitchen.

I grabbed a thing of rosemary, some salt, and ran back to where Lamia was.

"Get her to the fire pit," I told Percy.

Instad of arguing he did as I said.

I made a fire in the pit, quicker than it should seem possible, and climbed up the tree that was about five feet away.

I waited anxiously, and finally saw Laima getting closer and closer.

When she was right about me, I motioned to Percy to keep her right there, and I tossed some rosemary on her head.

She didn't notice.

Then I pored salt on her head.

Still, she didn't notice.

Then I had to do something really risky. Something that would be considered stupid, but life saving.

I took a deep breath, and jumped down onto Lamia.

Like my cliff-hanger? XD

Right now I am scarred...can't tell you why or what scarred me, but just know I am mentally scarred...
