The rise of the falcon (ON HOLD)

An explaination (III)

~Layla's P.O.V~
I met Lou at the big house after dinner, it was already dark out and everyone was in their cabins,with the exception of her and I. She smiled and greeted me.
"I'm sorry about Will....he does this every time he shows a new camper around. Ok let's start, what is your name?" She asked, I had just realized that no one here knew my name and was tempted to lie and say my name was Lioness or something, but I knew better.
"My name is Layla...." I said with a quick smile, I rarely smile. We started to walk towards the cabins.
"So....." Lou started, then a boy ran up to us. He looked about my age,16.
"Lou! We need help in the infirmary!"he waved his arms frantically. Lou sighed.
"Fine I'll be there as soon as I can find someone to explain things to Layla over here." She gestured to me. The boy nodded and ran away."sorry, I'm gonna have to let someone else explain things to you..." She said apologetically 
"It's okay...really" I said . 
"Who would be still awake and not busy at this hour.....?"she thought out loud. " Hmmm......Oh! I know the perfect person!"she exclaimed and headed to a cabin that looked like a blacksmiths shop.

She knocked on the bronze door and waited.
"Your gonna like this guy. Everyone does!" She said with a smile on her face. Right the the door opened, a boy with curly brown hair and ash all over his face and cloths.
"Leo! Would you mind showing Layla around? They need me in the infirmary right away!"
"No problem!" Leo said as he stepped out of the doorway."I'd love to show her around.....and tell her why she's here, because everyone knows Will showed her around this morning..."

Leo showed me around and when we got back to the cabins he stopped and sat on the bench near the fountain which is located in the middle of the cabins.
"That's the Zeus cabin, Poseidon cabin, ares cabin-" he pointed at the individual cabins, each cabin looked very unique.
"Wait hold up!" I said taking a seat next to him."why are all these cabins named after Greek gods?"
"Well.....here's where things get complicated," he started "ok so do you live with your mom or your dad....?"
"Mom and stepdad.....why?"
"Well you see....how do I put this lightly....your dad is a Greek god, and once you were born he left."
"Wait, WHAT!"
"I know it's hard to believe but I can prove it....my dad is Hephaestus, God of the forges." He held his hand out over the water. Suddenly it bursted into flames and he was holding a fire ball."imagine that but everywhere!" E said clearly impressed with his own skill.
"If you did that you'd look like Katniss or The Human Torch from-" Leo cut me off.
"The fantastic four?" He finished my sentence with a grin.
"I can't do that....I have both ADHD and dyslexia...."I sighed.
"So do I. ADHD makes it so you can't sit still, which is perfect for when your fighting because then you don't want to sit still" he extinguished his flame and started making gestures with his hands "and with dyslexia your brain is hard wired to read Ancient Greek! Not English!"
"So what your saying is....if I concentrate hard enough I can erupt into flames too!" A smile threatened at my lips but I kept my firm expression.
"No, sadly not, it's my special power.....last one to have it caused the great Chicago Fire!"
"So do you know who my godly parent is?" I'd gotten used to the whole 'gods' thing after I'd eaten magical chicken nuggets and met a human flame thrower.
"Not at the moment no, hopefully you'll be claimed by campfire tomorrow. That's when most newcomers get claimed." He said "for now you'll be staying in the Hermes cabin." He got up off the bench and I followed.

He walked over to one of the cabins. From what I could see, because it was dark out, the cabin was white with paint peeling off the outside walls. Leo knocked on the door and a mischievous looking boy answered.
"Travis, Layla needs a spot in the cabin. She hasn't been claimed yet." Leo explained
"Well of course come on in" he ushered me inside. I tiptoed through the minefield of sleeping bodies on the floor, it was said the who camp was sleeping in the Hermes cabin tonight.I found a spot in the corner of the room and sat down. This was going to be a long night.
