The New Faces (A Percy Jackson Story)

Camp Half-Blood

Chiron's POV:

"We are supposed to be getting six new half-bloods today, Cami and George will be coming with them. According to Cami she thinks she knows what two of the boys are. One son of Hades, and one son of Hephaestus. George thinks the girl that he got is a daughter of Apollo and the boy he doesn't know. All six are unclaimed but we have three we have no idea about. Get ready!" says Chiron to a Hermes girl who was his helper. When he goes to each cabin he says that he needs a person from each to come and see if they can take them on a tour. He gets those campers and then trots off to Thila's tree. One of the van pulls up and out steps a Satyr and one camper. He walks up to Chiron and says "Um, this the girl I found." Chiron nods and says "Take her to the Aphrodite cabin," because right over the girls head was a pink rose. One of the other Aphrodite girls came running up and said "Yes! Another good camper!" It was true the girl was pretty and that was what the Aphrodite girls thought was the best quality.

After about ten minutes Chiron was going to leave when another van comes zooming up the hill and down the other side. When it parked next to the big house Cami, one of the daughters of Ares, and George one of the Satyrs came out. They stand in front of the van door and say "OK Chiron you are going to love this!" Cami opens the door and a girl feel on the back of her head and saying "Ow!" George calls out "I need an Apollo kid please!" A boy with curly blond hair and blue eyes comes running and he heals the girl. She stands up and says "Hey could of warned me Cami!" Some of the campers backed up expecting the worst, but Cami doesn't do anyththing.

Mary's POV:

I look around from where I had fallen out of the van. My head hurt but not to badly. George calls for an Apollo kid? What does that mean? A boy who looks like he could have been the twin of Jill comes running over and he rubs my head and it fells much better. I thank him and he says "No prob." He runs off again. I then notice the guy in front of me is a Centaur. I look at George and say "Um, did I hit my really hard or is he a centaur?" The Centaur steps closer to me and says "I am a centaur, and my name is Chiron." I blush and try to apologize but before I could Jill starts screaming.

We all look at the sleeping girl who is screaming. It caused Zack and Mike to fall out the back end of the van because Mike had kept his hand on the handle.

Once they had gotten off the ground and tried to comprehend what was going on, they set to the task of waking up Jill.

Mike got her up by shaking her lightly and saying "Time for school sweetie!" in a girl voice. Jill woke up with a start and says immediately "I'm sorry if I screamed I have night terrors." Chiron nods and says "Come here young one." Once she steps onto the ground a golden bow appears over her head. The Apollo camper says "Cool your in my cabin come on." Jill waves bye to the rest of us and walks off with the Apollo kid.

A fiery red hammer appears over Perry's head and he looks up at it and says "Who is that?" Cami says "Hephaestus, see I told you!" A boy with curly brown hair and brown eyes comes over and says "Hey your my half brother! Come on." The two of them left. Zack, Jasmine and I all stood waiting when over Zack's head appeared a skull. A boy who looks about twelve comes up and says "Hey little brother." Zack looks confused and the boy just laughs. We hear him persisting that he is older as the two of them walk away.

Cami then leads us off with her and says "Listen your dad's will claim you later I bet. They have too." She then shows us all the cabins. I was drawn to the Poseidon cabin just because it was blue and I love the color blue. When we are passing the Dionysus cabin a bunch of grapes in a purple light appear over Jasmine's head. She smiles and says "So the purple one is mine!" An older girls came out of the Dionysus cabin and she says "Oh, dad will be excited to see you!" The girl grabs her wrist and drags her off towards where the van was.
