Hey peeps! I feel as though my previous chapter was one of my best chapters writing wise. Ill try and do better on this one as well! Also, my friend is in Rome and she says that all the man hole covers have SPQR on them! AWESOME RIGHT?! Well enjoy this chapter!

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING BUT MY IDEAS!

*IMPORTANT* I've been getting questions about this so here's your answer: This story takes place after The Last Olympian, but before The Lost Hero.

I wake up, but don't open my eyes. I don't hear anything, so the others must not be up. I let out a small breath and remember last night.

Last night was crazy.

Percy and Annabeth introduced me to a nice man in a wheel chair named Chiron who is apparently a centaur but 'Doesn't wish to scare new demigods.' While Annabeth explained what happened to Chiron, Percy took me on a tour of Camp Half-Blood. I was placed in the Hermes Cabin, the god of thieves and messengers, until I was 'claimed'. Which Percy explained means that my godly parent will claim me as their own.

Great. My godly parent decides to finally show up. After years, of absolutely nothing, I think bitterly.

Honestly, last night feels like a dream. And I'm not sure if it was a nightmare or not.

I finally decide to open my eyes, and when I do, Im greeted by two boys' faces. I stare at them and blink.

"Dang it!" One if them says loudly, scaring the crap outta me as I jump and hit my head on the bunk above me.

"Owww..." I mumble still waking up fully and rub my head tenderly as I glare at the two boys and realize that they're twins!

One if them turns to the other and says, "We didn't scare her that bad! I told you we shoulda hung a spider in her face!"

The other says back, "But what if she turns out to be a Athena child? Annabeth would have our heads!"

I clear my throat ruffly and narrow my eyes. "Who are you, and what in heck was that for?!"

"Whoa! Feisty!" One says and winks at me.

The other elbows him and says, "Ignore the doofus. I'm Travis and that is my brother Connor. Sons of Hermes at your service!" Travis says and bows. Connor shoves Travis and laughs as he losses his balance. Before this can turn into a fight, I interrupt. "My name's Heather."

"Well, Heather," Connor says. "We are your head counselors and you will be hanging with us today so we can show you what's what."

The day actually went by in a flash. At one moment I'm getting a rude awakening by the Stoll brothers (I found out that's what other people call them) and the next I'm sitting at the pavilion for dinner.

This boy, Gus, a son of Hermes, is telling me a story, but I pretty much tune him out until he mentions Percy and Annabeth. "Wait," I say, cutting him off. "What about Percy and Annabeth?"

Gus sighs and starts to recap. "Percy and Annabeth are legends here! They won the war with Kronos, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and Percy even got offered Immortality by the gods themselves!" Gus says getting more and more excited till he's almost bouncing out of his seat. Obviously this is a huge deal, but I'm really confused.

Kronos? Battle of the Labyrinth? Immortality?! What?

All of this seems impossible, but I guess my life is kind of suppose to be impossible so...

I decide that I'm going to try and find Percy and Annabeth themselves and ask them and try to save some of my pride.

I hear them by the docks before I see them. I hear a splash! And then Annabeth letting out a screech. "Perseus Jackson!" She yells, looking down at her clothes, which are soaked. Then she puts her hands on her hips and glares into the water. I think Annabeth realizes what Percy is going to do a second before he does it because she tries to back up quick. But Percy leaps out if the water with a laugh and pulls her in with him. When they come up, Percy has his arms around Annabeth's waist and is laughing his head off. Annabeth is laughing too and playfully turns, and punches him on the shoulder before giving him a kiss. "What?" Percy says. "You were already soaked!"

Annabeth just laughs, and kisses him again.

I turn away and decide to ask them later.

It turns out that I never really get the chance to ask them throughout the week. I always seem to be busy with something. Sword fighting with an Ares kid, archery with Chiron, or combat training, the lava wall, or getting taught Greek mythology by an Athena child. Also, it's extremely hard to get Annabeth and Percy alone.

By Friday I'm exhausted both physically and mentally. If your not in shape when you come to Camp Half-Blood, you won't be that way long! The bonfires are amazing. the fire changes into these beautiful colors depending on the campers' moods. Its so amazing! I keep hoping that my godly parent will claim me, but it never happens.

The only real spare time I have is before bed; I normally read or draw. Annabeth gave me a book about Greek mythology and its actually very interesting! My sketch book ends up being filled with sketches of Greek heroes, monsters, and weapons.

Friday morning is pretty much routine training. But then I hear some people talking about Capture the Flag. I walk up to them and realize one of them is Gus! "You guys play capture the flag?" I ask. Kinda miffed that CHB has something so normal to do. "Yeah!" One of them answers. I think his name is Kevin. "It's really fun! We get to fight each other and knock some heads!" The girl, who's name is Kya, rolls her eyes. "It's a lot more strategized then that. The cabins make alliances and are split into 2 teams. Red and blue. We all get weapons and armor and fight to get the other teams flag." As she explains another part of my mind is thinking she's an Athena child for sure.

"So it's basically a normal capture the flag game but with fighting?" I ask when she's done. Kya opens her mouth to say something but Kevin interrupts whatever she is going to say by throwing an arm around her shoulders. "Let's just let Heather find out for herself." He says winking at me. "Wait- what does that mean?!" I yell as Kevin starts to drag Kya and Gus away laughing.

I huff and start to go after them, when a hand comes down on my shoulder. I whip around to see Chiron...but his other half, is a horse! My eyes widen and Chiron lets out a laugh. "Yes, Heather. This is my true form! A centaur!"

It's a little while before I can comment. "Well...that's...different." I flinch as the words leave my mouth realizing how rude they sound. But Chiron just smiles. "I overheard your questions about capture the flag and you have nothing to worry about. I've seen you fight and you're skills are impressive for someone who just arrived at camp." Was that a little suspicion I heard in his voice? A fight between two girls breaks out and saves me from answering.

"Where is it?!" One girl yells. She has dirty blonde hair with a blue streak in the front and dark, stormy, grey eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about." The other girl says examining her nails. She has perfectly curled brown hair with highlights and her eyes seem to change color. "Yes you do Kennedy. You know exactly what I'm talking about." The blonde snarls, taking a threatening step towards her.

I run towards the fight and manage to push through to the front. Kennedy rolls her eyes "I have no idea where your archery crap is, Hailey. Go read your books or something!"

I see Hailey struggling to keep her temper down, and I know I have to do something! Kennedy reminds me of Cassidy in the worst ways. I can tell that she really did take Hailey's archery stuff just by seeing her satisfied smirk. It starts raining softly, just like a small sprinkle. It's still light so a rainbow appears. I glance at the rainbow and it calms me down. Rain and rainbows especially seem to do this to me. I calmly step out in between Hailey and Kennedy.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Chiron coming. Whoops. Too late now! Both girls glare at me but I hold my ground. Whatever noise that the crowd was making a silenced. "I think that's enough." I say, then turning to Kennedy, "You're a terrible lier. I think we all know you took Hailey's archery stuff, so why don't you just give it back and stop begging for the attention you so obviously feel like you need." Ok so those weren't the best words to say but I was just laying out the facts. Kennedy just stares at me and then as quick as lighting shoots forwards towards me with her sharp nails forward like she was trying to scratch my face off! Everything seems to slow down. I see Chiron opening his mouth to shout something, I hear the rain slowing, I see Annabeth and Percy reaching out from the crowd as if to stop Kennedy. And then suddenly I feel a surge of power and see colors flash before my eyes. I instinctively put out my hands and then Kennedy is suddenly thrown backwards on the ground like she had been pushed! The crowd gasps, and I notice that there is no longer a rainbow in the sky, but one above my head!

Chiron pushes through the crowd, smiles at me and says, "All Hail, Heather, daughter of Iris. Goddess of rainbows and iris messages."
