Aria woke up to unfamiliar surroundings. She was lying on a bed in a small room that she didn't recognize, and people were talking around her. She sat up, feeling disoriented and confused.
"Hey, she's awake," A voice said, and Aria looked up to see a group of teenagers standing around her. They all looked at her with curiosity and concern.
Aria's heart raced as she realized that she was surrounded by strangers. She had never been around people since she was five years old, and she was terrified.
"Who are you?" Aria asked, her voice shaking.
"We're demigods," one of them said. "We live here at Camp Half-Blood."
"Camp Half-Blood?" Aria repeated, still feeling confused.
"It's a haven for demigods like us," another one explained. "We're children of the gods."
Aria looked around the room, taking in her surroundings. She noticed that there were symbols of different gods and goddesses on the walls and bookshelves. It was all so overwhelming.
Suddenly, the door burst open, and Percy and Annabeth walked into the room. Percy's expression was angry as he glared at the group of demigods around Aria.
"What the hell are you doing?" Percy demanded, his voice raising. "You're bombarding her with questions. She needs time to adjust."
The other demigods looked startled, and they quickly backed away.
"I'm sorry, Percy," one of them said. "We just wanted to help her."
"Well, you're not helping her by scaring her," Percy said, his voice softening as he turned to Aria. "Are you okay?"
Aria nodded, feeling grateful for Percy's protection. She had never felt this safe before.
Percy helped Aria to her feet, and Annabeth handed her a glass of water.
"Come on, we'll take you to my cabin," Percy said. "You can rest there and have some time to think."
Aria followed Percy and Annabeth out of the Hermes cabin and walked with them to Percy's cabin. Percy locked the door behind them, and Aria felt a sense of relief wash over her.
"Thank you," Aria said, looking at Percy and Annabeth. "I don't know what I would have done without you."
"We're here to help you," Annabeth said, giving her a reassuring smile.
Percy sat down on his bed, motioning for Aria to sit down next to him.
"So, tell us about yourself," Percy said, looking at Aria. "What do you remember?"
Aria hesitated for a moment, unsure of where to begin. But then, she started talking, telling them about her life in Tartarus, about her father and the Titans, and about how Poseidon had come to rescue her.
Percy and Annabeth listened intently, asking questions and offering words of encouragement. Aria felt like she could trust them, and for the first time in her life, she felt like she belonged somewhere.
As the day went on, Aria stayed in Percy's cabin, talking and learning more about Camp Half-Blood. She was still scared and unsure of what was to come, but she knew that she had Percy and Annabeth by her side, that alone was enough to give her some sort of hope. Even if it was a sliver.
