A/N: I dont think this is what the Hecate cabin looks like, but its what I thought it could be like

Before Chiron can say anything else, a bow appears in one of my hands, and a dagger in the other. Its the same bow I used at Archery, and the sword that can shorten into a dagger is the same one that I used to duel Travis with.

"I do not like that sword." Travis and Conner say. I notice that the same thing is engraved on the hilt of the sword, and the inside of the bow.

"Moonshadow" I say, translating the Greek letters into English. That would explain the glowing silver of the sword, and the arrow heads. The weapons dissapear.

"Well, we don't want to be past curfew. Please all go back to your cabin, with the exception of Jasmine" I follow Chiron to his office, avoiding the mass of people heading to there cabins. I spot Percy, clearly in a state of shock. I step into Chirons office, and gasp.

There were photos everywhere. Pictures of Hercules, Achilles, Percy, Leo, Annabeth, So many famous Greek Heros. I sit down, and Chiron sits himself in a wheelchair.

Wait, a wheelchair?

"Umm... Is that even phisically possible?" I ask. I saw him come out of it, but not sit in it.

"If its enchanted, yes" He says. "Now, onto more pressing matters."

"Your mother. The godess Hecate. Your Father, a son of Posiedon. A 1/4 of the way from becoming a Godess. You became gifted"

"What?" I ask, perplexed.

"The day you were born, you and your mother were summoned to Olympus. On Posiedons orders, each god gifted you. Even your mother gifted you, and you became extrodinarily powerful." He explains.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier? When I first came here?"

"I got a letter the day you were born, saying to tell you everything after you were claimed. You could do nearly anything. Disappear, reappear, teleport, enchant, fly, but you need the power. The will, and the bravery. And the emotians. Some you must block out for more difficult spells. and some you must let in. Your Cabin mates will help you."

My gods. Chiron points polietly to the exit, and I leave. I get to the cabins when I realise I have no idea which is mine. Luckily Lou bounces up to me.

"Jasmine, over here!" She says. I walk over to her.

"Thank gods I waited! Follow me" She says. She half drags me to the Hecate cabin, number 20, and I smile.

It seems to glow in the night, even though its made of grey stone. A blue cresent moon and three blue stars are carved above the door. I instantly feel at home.

"Try not to break the walls. If you drop a stone, it will most likely explode or turn everyone within 30 meters into a tree" Lou warns me.

"Umm, ok?"

I go inside, and its not as stunning as I thought.

The floor is made of birch wood, and the only things in the room are beds and some bokshelves. Lou takes me to the other side of the room, where there is an elevator. All Lou does is touch the doors, and they slide open.

"Cleverly designed by us and the Hephaestus cabin. Hop in!" Lou says proudly. I nervously step inside, and Lou follows me. The elevator starts to descend.

The doors finally open, and I gasp.

We were underground. There were doors and tunnels everywhere. There were bookshelves going around the whole room, and cozy couches here and there. There was a area that was fenced off, with training dummies either intact or reduced to cotton balls. I realise that the books are written in either Greek or Magic, both I could read perfectly. Some cauldrons were bubbling over in one corner, and one hissed out a splurt of lava. I dodged it by bending over backwards.

"Real flexable. Ill show you around" Lou giggles. She tells me about the books filled with spells, recitals of healing, and songs of enchantment. "Even Apollo's kids would be jealous" Lou comments. She tells me that we share the underground with Cabin 9, Hephaestus Cabin. Awsome. She explains that the dummies repair themselves at midnight, How we have our own rooms. That got me excited.

"What about the beds upstairs?" I ask.

"Thats if our Cabin wants to have a child of another godly parent over. These are our own private rooms, only accessible by Us and Cabin 9. Our rooms are kinda like theres, except a bit different." We stop outside an oak door, with a gold plauge saying "Jasmine Dragonite" In copperplate writing. It seems to glow, and Lou seems confused.

"What?" I ask.

"Not much. Mothers always on top of things, but why do you have a gold plauge?" She replies. I looks at her door, which is opposite mine. Shes right. All the others have bronze. I think I know the answer to that, but I dont tell.

"Anyway. Just touch the doors, and it will open. And here." Lou says, putting a beautiful gold and diamond studded watch around my wrist.

"A watch?" I ask.

"Not just a watch." she chuckles. "Click this, and you can communicate with whoever has one of them. Every Hecate and Hephaestus kid has one. The watch kinda reads your thoughts, so you can chat privately, or with the whole cabin. Goodnight!" Lou waves, and bounds into her room. I touch the smooth oak, and the doors open. I step inside as the doors close behind me, and I'm astounded.

The room is huge. In one corner, theres a computer and a purple office chair. It mist be connected to the Camp's Wireless, because Google was on the screen. One wall has three dark brown spruce bookshelves filled with books. I run my finger down one of the books leather casing's. I realise its in Greek. Actually, half of the books are in Greek. They're mainly red and brown, but a couple are green, and one is golden. In one corner there is a plush blue massaging couch. I have a huge double king sized bed, and it could fit heaps of people in it. The dové (not the bird, the one that you put on your beds) is purple, embedded with gold that seems to shimmer. The walls are a deep red, and the room is just the right tempurature. The room is lit up by a small light that doesn't dangle. The matress is so comfy I could lie there forever. Theres a bedside table with my Ipod, Favourite books, and a plate like the ones at the dining pavilon. I get changed into some awsome gold and aqua onses, and rest, my dream starting off ok, but then turning into a strange and horrifying one.


First off, I dream of dad.

I was ina basket, and he was fighting off something that I now realise is a monster. He slices it, and it disappears. He picks me up, and runs outside.

He puts me into the back of a matress turck, with a letter in my basket. He puts a drachama next to my letter, and the letter disappears. He then puts another letter in, hits a button, and the truck door stars to close.

The last sight of my father is a black claw, straight through his chest.

The dream changes.

Chiron and me are standing on a stage, him putting a wreathe of laurels on my head. Everyone is cheering. He's about to announce something. He begins, but stops suddenly. A growl behind us all turn around. All I saw was a pitch black thing with red glowing eyes, before it pounces.

I woke up, sweating. 7am, and someone knocking on my door.
