Katt limped out of the Big House. After a doggy bag of ambrosia, she was beginning to feel much better. Turns out, she was the daughter of Zeus and a demigod daughter of Poseidon and a demigod daughter of Hades and finally, a regular human. As it turned out, she was only around 13 percent human. Her mother had died when she was young, the reason she had no idea of her heritage. Percy ran across the grass, followed closely by Nico. "What happened?" Percy asked. "I heard you-" He trailed off as he saw the gold stained bandages wrapped around her leg.
Katt smiled shyly as she received the attention of the entire camp. "Whoa." one kid said. "I can't believe that there is a demigod that has gold blood. You must be one of a kind!" Katt couldn't help smiling at the kid's enthusiasm. Percy helped shoo her frantic admirers away, an extraordinary feat as they were swarming her from all sides. Eventually, they were able to get a few moments of peace and quiet. A brilliant green flash emanated from the common in front of the cabins. Percy and Nico raced over with Katt limping along after them.
As the three of them made it out onto the grass, they saw the cause of all the commotion. A girl that appeared to be around 18 had appeared in front of everyone. Her hair was stone grey, her eyes were emerald green, and she was wearing what appeared to be an orange prison jumpsuit. Her stomach was covered with horrible burn marks. She looked around at the campers who were staring back at her blankly. "Hello!" she said in a british accent. "I'm Angelica, but you can call me Angel. Who are you and why are you staring at me?" She stopped talking and looked down, starting at the sight of her own singed flesh. "Oh right." she said. "I'm wounded." She smiled and collapsed into the arms of a nearby Hestia camper who had been sitting by the hearth when the girl had appeared.
They had put Angel in the Big House for the moment, not having any room in the cabins for her to stay. Pure white badges were wrapped around her stomach, covering the scorch marks. The medics had never seen anything like it. They would have to ask her who- or what- did this to her when she woke up. Katt and Percy were ushered out. Percy walked Katt to her history lesson in an attempt to explain her tardiness. He was pretty sure that the old satyr wouldn't believe Katt about the events that had just played out.
Katt stepped into her last classroom. It was nothing more than a grove in the forest where a grumpy old satyr who had been around longer than anyone could remember lived. "You're late." the satyr croaked when he heard the crunching of her feet on the leaves. "Please Mr. Stanley." Percy cut in. "I can explain." Mr. Stanley was not convinced. Percy took a deep breath and continued. "You see, Katt fell and scraped her leg. She has been in the Big House getting medical treatment. Mr. Stanley sighed. "You girl. I expect you not to get hurt while I am your teacher." he said. Katt hurriedly nodded to show that she understood. "I uh... gotta go." Percy muttered, seeming to vanish into the forest.
Katt hated history even more then she had thought she would. Mr. Stanley was mean and seemed to think that the answer to life was a sound beating, the classroom was in the middle of the dark and dangerous forest, and she had absolutely no one to complain to. Since Tom had gone missing, she was the only person in the camp that didn't have every single greek myth memorized. Mr. Stanley was in the middle of a boring lecture on how the gods had defeated the titans for a second time with the help of Percy Jackson. Katt was only half listening. The rest of the class passed at a crawl, but finally Katt was able to leave.
Katt began the long walk back to the cabins. She had to whack her way through the most overgrown part of the forest just to find something she recognized. By the time she made it back to camp, dinner was already on the table. Racing through the camp, Katt dumped her things onto her bed and ran to the dining pavilion. She got there just in time to grab her plate and scrape her offering into the fire. She sat down and began to eat. The food was good: barbecue ribs and fries. The taste sent a happy shock down her quickly finished her plate and moved on to the campfire.
After singing campfire songs with the rest of the campers, Katt wandered off back to her cabin, humming one of her favorites. She made her way to the imposing white cabin where she and Ronan, the other Zeus camper, slept. She walked in, changed, and crawled straight into bed without a second glance at the creepy statues that lined the room. Within seconds, she was fast asleep.
