"Percy I know how to dress a cut" I explained as he sat on a log - refusing to let me touch any of his injuries.

"Just. Pass me. Some water" he complained clutching his side.

"Fine then sunshine. Do it yourself" I groaned handing him a plastic bottle filled with water from my bag. He took the bottle and began pouring it all over his torso. Surprisingly the water seemed to soak into him, seamlessly fixing all his injuries leaving only minor bruises.
"Woah"

"Let's go" he stated , getting up now that he could walk properly without much pain.

"How did you do ... that?" I asked curiously picking up the bottle that he left sitting on the log, this camp is weird.

"Do what?" he smirked avoiding my question

"The magic trick with the water" I said rolling my eyes at him and trying to catch up with his long strides.

"I'm the son of Poseidon. You know, the one that controls water" he explained flailing his arms about mockingly.

"You're joking?" I laughed trying to find reasoning as to why he of all people would be the son of a god , who isn't real.

"Pass me the rest of that water" he asked holding his hand out expectantly. Reluctantly, I did as he said. "Here" he said splashing the water that was in the bottle right at me and drenching my hair in water without directly touching it.

"Really funny sunshine. So you're part fish , like a mermaid" I said squeezing the water out of my hair and continuing to walk towards the entrance to camp.

"No i'm part god" he replied , clearly annoyed "like a demi-god"

"If you say so" I responded throwing my hands in the air in amusement. He's very easily irritated.

"How come you aren't injured?" Percy then asked scanning me briefly for any visible injuries and looking slightly shocked when he couldn't find any.

"I just didn't get beat up by a fake bull" I shrugged not really knowing the answer myself.

"A fake bull? And you'd beat the normal bull aswell right?" he joked shaking his head and gesturing for us to turn left on our walk.

"I suppose. I think I could, I mean this one was obviously worse. Cooler, detailed and covered in gold. But worse, way worse than a normal bull would be." I replied honestly

"Did you used to be a farmer or something DJ?" he smiled , amused at my sudden fascination for bulls.

"Very funny but no. And I don't DJ" I clarified pointing a accusatory finger at him.

"Grover thinks otherwise. Speaking of Grover , since you like farm animals so much you might like him even more." Percy said finding himself very funny at that moment in time.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows thinking deeply about what Percy had just said.

"Nothing" he smiled

"I'm serious"

"He's half-goat, DJ"

"No way." I gasped "But he's got crutches, he can't walk ... Wait" I paused "That's because he's half goat isn't it."

"Bingo" Percy replied

"Okay so what is Annabeth then?" I asked grabbing his arm to gain his full attention as we stopped walking "What is she half of?"

"She's the daughter of Athena. Goddess of wisdom" he responded "So she's pretty clever"

"That makes sense actually. So what am I?"

"We don't know" he shrugged continuing to walk

"What you mean 'we don't know?' How do you not know?" I complained looking at Percy offended.

"You have to be ... claimed by your godly parent , it's stupid really. If they think you're worthy enough they'll admit you're their kid , if not you get put in the Hermes cabin." he explained running a hand through his hair as we turned right.

"Gods" I muttered rolling my eyes

"I know right" Percy responded "We are almost at Thalia's tree" he added as we began to see groups of people from the camp

"What's so special about a tree?" I quizzed , furrowing my brows

"Annabeth can explain it to you later. Luke has poisoned it" the boy enhanced walking past a group of panicked teens

"So that's what he was doing earlier" I mumbled "And that isn't good because?"

"The camp is no longer protected" he replied , straight to the point.

"Who would do this?" I heard Annabeth gasp infront of us

"Luke poisoned the tree" Percy stated stepping besides the bark

"Percy!" Annabeth smiled , hugging him in relief

"Yay you're alive" One girl said , the sarcasm clear in her tone "Who's the newbie?" she then asked pointing her finger in my face

"Nice to meet you too" I replied pushing the finger out of my face

"Luke let the bull in" Percy continued

"Are we sure it wasn't her? I mean she did come in with the bull after all" the girl interrupted shifting the attention back to me

"Miss La Rue" a rather tall man scolded sternly

"Without the tree's barrier ... he probably figures there's enough demi-titans out there to get him what he wants." Percy finished turning to the man who had just spoken

"And that would be?" the 'La Rue' girl spoke

"Our annihilation" the tall man ended

"How lovely" she replied sarcastically rolling her eyes in my direction , clearly not enjoying my presence.
