"Huh," I muttered, I glanced at Elena who looked a bit intimidated

"Yeah, very nice." She said sarcastically

"So, there's something I gotta tell you." I looked up at Chiron "I lost your pen-sword thingy. Hopefully, that wasn't your only one." I said apologetically.

"Check your pocket." He said

"No, I've-- I lost it the other night, on the hill." 

"Check your pocket." He repeated. 

"I suggest you listen to him, Percy," Parker said with a slight smile on her face 

reached my hand into my back pocket, and pulled out the pen he gave me

...the one I thought I lost...

I looked down at it, then back up at him "Unless you surrender it, it will always find its way back to you. Magical objects don't obey the physical laws of the ordinary world. Your pen, my wheelchair, they're all a part of your father's world, as are you now. I have something to show you." Chiron walked a bit ahead of us "Twelve cabins, for twelve Olympian gods." 

"Cool..." Elena said softly next to me, as we both looked at all the cabins that stood next to each other surrounded by trees and signs pointing to different parts of the camp.

"Each cabin is home to the children that god has claimed," Chiron explained

"Great, which one are we?" I asked 

"You haven't been claimed, Percy, Elena," He looked down at me and Elena

"Well, when do we get claimed?" Elena asked

"Well, the gods reveal their design in their own time, not before. Your father might claim you tomorrow, it might be next week, it might be--" I cut him off

"Never."

"Percy, the gods do their own thing, and they can't keep track of every single new kid and-" Parker tried explaining before I cut her off

"How long did it take for you to get claimed?" I asked, she glanced at Chiron and looked back at me and Elena 

"Two days." She muttered

"Great," I muttered "Even now, he still wants nothing to do with us. What are we even doing here? There's no place for us here. " 

"There is a place for you two. Here..." Chiron raised his hand towards a cabin "Hermes, god of Travelers."

I honestly just wanted to go home with Elena and Mom, pretending nothing happened like we never knew about this place or that we're demigods or half-bloods.

Elena's POV

We walked into the cabin, it was big, real big, with lots of bunk beds, and kids talking and laughing.
