Daughter of the Sea

Chapter 11

Percy's POV

This day has been super crazy for me. From carrying a goddess who looked like a hippie, to killing two gorgons in just one day. And to summon all that up I learned that I'm the son of the sea god (Neptune) and I can control water! So yea, pretty chaotic am I right. I just finished talking to this crazy looking dude named Octavian and he told me that I'm officially accept here at Camp Jupiter. He got all of this by ripping open my pillow pet! Well, anyway, after that he told Hazel that her brother and a friend of his was waiting for us at Pluto's Shrine. So we headed over there to meet them. While we we're talking to the two, I felt like I knew Nico. Like he was someone from my past. And Alyssa (Nico's friend). Well there's just something about her, I felt the need to protect her. Weird right. I don't even know this girl. Anyway, right now I just finished taking a shower and met up with Frank and Alyssa and a bunch of other Romans to do roll call. They were calling all sorts of names, Josh, Lizzy, Sarah, and Bob. I stifled a laugh. Theres always a Bob somewhere. I stop laughing mentally when, I heard people running and saw that it was Hazel and Nico. Reyna looked at her sternly. " I'm glad you decided to join us." Hazel held her head down and blushed and got into line just when they called her name.

"Here," she squeaked out. I felt bad for her, having to be put on the  spot like that, just because she was a bit late. I frowned.  After that little incident everything went by in a blur. I got put into the 5th Cohort because Hazel stood for me. Whatever that means. Some of the campers snickered but I couldn't care less. I'm glad with Hazel and Frank. They kind of have rubbed off on me. So now I'm officially part at of the camp and everyone was dismissed to go have dinner. And man was I hungry.

During dinner I sat with Hazel, Frank, Nico, and Dakota. Dakota was just welcoming me when Alyssa sat down right in between Nico and Dakota who were right in front of me." Whats up guys! Sorry I would have came here sooner but I got caught up chatting with someone," Alyssa said while a plate of Hawaiian Pizza and a glass of blue soda appeared in front of her.

" Its okay," Frank assured her. She smiled and took a bite of her pizza and sipped her soda, I mean her blue soda.

"You like blue Soda to," I asked. She raised her eyebrow while taking a sip of her blue beverage. She placed it down and nodded. 

"Yea I do. When I was a little girl I would always eat or drink blue things. At one point in time, when I was 3  I wouldn't eat anything but blue food. Thats when one of my family members had to take matters into their own hands and dye every food I ate blue-" she laughed at the memory." Its was quite ridiculous if you ask me." I smiled at what she said.

" I know someone who did exactly that... I just can't remember who," I said sadly. Hazel put her hand on my shoulder trying to comfort me. I gave her a reassuring smile.

"Thats quite a story you've got there Alyssa," Hazel said while removing her hand off my shoulder.

" Yea. I've never heard someone do that before," Frank said while chuckling at the thought.

"Well, what can I say. I was a weird kid back then," Alyssa said while grinning. We kept on talking and I got some of my questions answered and things start to make sense, well kind of. Everyone one was having a good time, until Frank brought up a question and got all of us thinking.

"Hey Alyssa how come I've never seen you around camp before?" Alyssa choked on her pizza and Nico patter her back to make sure she doesn't die. She took a sip of her drink and swallowed. She coughed. " Uh did I say something wrong," Frank asked concerned. She waved her hand.

" No...No. I just swallowed my food and it went down the wrong pipe. Thats all," she smiled to reassure us. I didn't believe her, I felt like she wasn't telling  us the truth, but I shook the feeling off. "To answer your question Frank I have been here at Camp, a couple of years after Jason arrived here. I was 12 when I met him and came here. I'm actually a Senator now. I'm an ambassador for the Olympian's. As you can see here-," she lifted up her sleeve and it showed a tattoo of the Olympian's symbol. It looked like the Omega symbol "- I have a tattoo like Hazel but with 4 lines,-" she pulled her sleeve down. "- I usually don't stay around because I'm sent to do things that the gods want. Which is why you rarely see me here," Alyssa stated. I looked at Frank and Hazel and they were shocked.
