I sat down at the Athena table, and my food was brought to me. Cherry pop tarts; my favorite. I dumping half of one in the fire for my mother, I nodded and smiled kindly to Hestia, and she smiled back. I ate as fast as I could, and then I ran to the Apollo cabin.

I banged on the door as loud as I could, but there was no answer. I pushed the door open to reveal one of my friends sound asleep. I was about to wake a sleeping Skylar Reece, but thought better of it.

I ran to the Hermes cabin in search of one of my other friends. I knocked on the door, and Sarah Furthur opened it. I didn't particularly like Sarah very much. The thing was that I'm pretty sure she had a crush on Leo. Even though it was totally obvious that Nico liked her.

I smiled an obviously fake smile at her, and she smiled back. "Hi Sarah; is Trevor here?"

"Yah hold on a sec. Trevor! Sam is here!" I heard a loud bang and a pop.

"Someone help me!"

I walked through the door and saw that he was suspended three feet off the ground with his foot stuck in a snare.

"Get me down." He pleaded.

"Okay"

I said and started to rub my ring finger. My owl ring turned into a one foot knife.

"Sam no no no no!" Trevor yelled as I got closer and closer to him with my knife.

"Sam please don't drop me on my head!"

"Stop whining ya big baby." I said hacking at the rope.

Snap! The rope dropped Trevor on his head.

"Ow!" He complained. "Stop your whining! You need to help me get Skylar up. Prank time!" I sang.

At that he jumped up, eager to prank his girlfriend. Yah, you heard me right, Skylar and Trevor had been dating for just under a year now.

The first time that I met Trevor, it was the third day he was here. He was new, and he tried to prank me.

I was walking out of the Athena cabin, and there was a rope snare on the ground; conveniently camouflaged with grass. I stepped in it, and I was suspended at least twelve feet off the ground. But, being me; I rubbed my ring, it turned into my knife, I pulled myself up, and cut the rope.

Once I got back down on the ground, they were all staring at me; I shrugged and walked away. He was impressed with me, and insisted we become friends.

Five weeks later, I notice him making googly eyes with Sky. Me and Andy did some work, and bam! Instant couple! Although it was a little awkward when Andrea went back to school a few months ago.

Andrea was my second friend here, she got to camp exactly three days after I did, stumbling across the boarder with my friend Blade.

Blade is a satyr. He was my protector, and my first friend. From the waist up, he looks like any other teenager with a snap back over his huge afro, but if you know him well enough, then you know that his afro is to cover his three inch horns. He walks with a limp, but unless you catch him without his pants on, then you know that his legs are just built differently, completely covered in hair, and the perfect shape for climbing up a steep hill. He also has hooves where his feet should be.

Trevor brought me back to reality; snapping his fingers in my face.

"So are we going to prank Skylar or not?" "Oh! Yah! Um give me a sec." I thought for a second, and then it hit me.

I smiled slightly. "You know how Skylar hates a mess?"

He nodded and smirked knowing where I was going with this.

"I'll get the pillows and the string, you get the syrup and the blow horn." I winked and ran across to my cabin. I grabbed two of the old pillows that were under my bed, and some string that was on my desk.

I raced back to the Apollo cabin to find Skylar still sound asleep. Trevor got there a few seconds later with the syrup and blow horn.

We wasted absolutely no time at all. I ripped the pillows open with my knife to reveal thousands of tiny feathers. Trevor unraveled the string and strung it around her bed, then coating it with the syrup. I put the feathers on the fan and tied the pull string to a longer string and led it outside.

"On three" he said.

"One"

"two" I said

"three" we said at the same time and he blew the horn.

"Ahhh!" She screamed and started to charge outside.

She took three steps and got caught in the sticky string. I pulled the string that was attached to the fan, and the feathers rained down on her.

"See ya." I said throwing the string at Trevor and running from the bushes we were hiding in.

He was shocked and just sat there with his mouth open. I ran to a nearby tree and climbed it. Sky came out a second later steaming mad.

"Oh you think it's funny?" She challenged her boyfriend.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you? Give me a hug."

He started to back up and ran away from the sticky, feathery girl. She chased him for about a mile, and he gave up huffing and puffing. Skylar tackled him in a huge bear hug.

I laughed so much that I didn't realize that the tree branch had snapped under my weight. No I'm not that heavy, but it was a small branch.

There was nothing I could hold onto, nothing I could grab, nothing but the hard ground below me.

To be honest for the first time in over five years I was scared. I was scared of hitting the ground. Then I would have to go to the infirmary, and I hated absolutely hated the smell of sick people and blood. When I was little my dad used to pester me about becoming a doctor for the army. That was back when he was still alive. He died there, the place he used to fight for abandoned him. They suspected he was dead and they left him, but I knew that he was still alive when they left him there for dead. That's when my step mom started to beat me. She was angry that the money would stop, so who better to take it out on then a poor defenseless child? She couldn't beat David. He would be the one who would give her more money. Then I ran away. I ran away with David. The four year old in the dream. That Cyclops took him. And I still can't help and hope that he is out there somewhere. Out there somewhere looking for a safe place, or me.

All of this flashed through my mind in less than a second.

The ground was nearing me; I could feel it in my gut that soon I would get hit. I started to scream.

"Oof!" Someone said.

It appeared that someone completely stupid had tried to catch me. I opened my eyes slowly and saw that I was sat on the ground, and a pair of strong looking arms were rapped around me. I turned my head and saw that the strong arms belonged to none other than Leo Valdez.
