This Camp is TotallyWacked
I was sitting on the front porch of a baby blue house.
The centaur- Chiron- spoke. "This is the only safe place for you now that you know who you are. I'll have your half-brother show you around camp."
"I'll stay on one condition. I get to keep the bike."
" Not allowed."
"Then I'm not staying. Unless that Alex kid leaves."
"Definitely not going to happen. He is going to stay."
"Then the bike is nonnegotiable."
"We'll talk later."
A kid walked into the room. I immediately knew who he was. We had the same dark hair and startlingly penetrating green eyes. "Alex, this is Percy," Chiron said the most obvious thing, all the time. He now addressed Percy, "Percy this is your half sister, Alex.."
Percy put out his hand. I laughed and ruffled his hair. "Well, aren't you cute. Let's get this over with."
Percy gave me a tour of the camp. After that was all done- who even cared- he brought me to our cabin. I looked at the roomy cabin. Percy had told me some of the cabins were empty. I guess we had only us in ours. The inside smelled like salt water and made my insides hurt. It reminded me of Dad. I walked over to Percy's trunk and picked up a picture.. There was a little boy and a woman making footprints in the sand. The boy was obviously Percy. And the woman. I didn't know the woman. I looked more closely. I did know the woman. I dropped the picture and stepped back, like it was haunted. The glass shattered into a million of pieces, like my heart.
"What is it?" Percy seemed concerned. He didn't care that I broke his picture.
I pointed at the picture, stuttering. "That's- that's my mother. I don't know how, but that's my mother. What's your last name?"
"Jackson." Percy was utterly confused.
"So is mine. When is your birthday?"
"August 18th."
"The same as mine." The world flashed silver, then blinked out black, as I crumpled to the floor.
