A New Kind (PJO/KOTLC crossover with new characters)

#2: A Human Invites Us to Blue Food. What a strange day. Sophie's POV

   Sally Jackson's blue food was awesome. At first, I wasn't very excited when I saw Percy's reluctance to bring us in. His mother was nice enough though. She was a pretty woman of about forty. Her bright eyes, quick smile, and tied-eyed sundress made her look younger. She had a worrying look that made her smile look pained.

"Hello Percy! Oh, my it seems you have found some more friends" she said haltingly, like she was having a long day with some of Percy's 'friends'. He looked sheepishly at the tray of blue cookies and dip that were on the table next to her. Percy's mother had somehow seen the look he had given the food.

"Ah ah ah, mister. You're not going anywhere until you explain and get these fine people what they need."

"Mrs. Jackson- " I started to say.

"Please, call me Sally."

"Um... Sally, we were just looking for guidance to a certain camp facility near long island sound and we ran into Percy. We will be on our way soon enough."

We wanted to go there because it was where the whispers had come from. 5 weeks ago, the trees had all been whispering to go to Long Island Sound where they would find a safe space where they could solve the problem, which they had yet to discover. Then, one day I was trying to teleport to a certain Black Swan hideout when suddenly, we ended up there.

"Oh!" Sally exclaimed, "Percy was just there! But he needs to rest. And plus, he's grounded now."

"Wah-?!"

"You heard me young man."

Percy looked aghast.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we just need directions." Said Wylie. He knew some English, and so he was picking this up quite well.

Percy whispered something in his mother's ear.

"Oh my. Kids, let's chat."

They sat down and ate seven-layer dip, (which was AWSOME), and sandwiches. Percy filled his mother in on what had happened here, and we filled the rest. When we were done, Sally looked a little pale. We finished with why we needed to get to what was it called, Camp Half-Blood? Sally looked like she had been tasered. What had Percy whispered to her?

"Well, let's come up with a plan to get you there safely."

We talked and talked, and finally came up with the not perfect solution of: Percy and them teleporting there the next day. We rose.

"Thanks for the seven-layer dip, and for your hospitality. See yah tomorrow!"

And with that, we grabbed hands, I raised my home crystal, and leaped away.

The next day was a hassle. We came to Percy's house at around 9 in the morning.

"Come on." I spoke.

We made a circle and held hands. Since I wasn't very good, I didn't levitate. I just held on. When we started to float upwards, Percy screamed. "I HATE FLYING!"

That must have been because he was a son of Poseidon, God of the sea in Greek and roman mythology. (Which was apparently real) He screamed and fussed even more when I told them to drop us, and we fell into the void. I pictured the camp as I had seen it in Percy's mind, which he was NOT thrilled about, and a thunderclap and we landed on a stretch of grass halfway up a hill on the edge of the camp.

As we climbed, I turned and got an amazing view of the valley- a big stretch of woods to the northwest, a beautiful beach, the creek, the canoe lake, lush green fields and the whole layout of the cabins- a bizarre assortment of buildings arranged like a Greek omega with a loop of cabins around a central green, and two wings sticking out on either side, 20 cabins in all. Campers were at a dining pavilion happily eating their breakfast. We reached the crest of the hill. "Welcome", Percy said, "To Camp Half-Blood."

We started walking to the pavilion, where the centaur, Chiron, director of camp, (Percy had explained), would be and could help us with our problem. We were halfway there, and a bright white flash stopped us in our tracks. 10 ft away, a girl with pink hair and emerald - green eyes stalked towards them, eyes murderous, brandishing a double-edged spear. About 3 ft away she stopped.

"Where is Michael Varex?!"
