Who is he really? Chapter 18

Disclaimer: I don't, nor will I ever own either of the two Percy Jackson series.

*Percy's Pov*

I was going back to camp today, which was awesome.

I love everything about camp, from the campfire late at night, to having my monthly battles with Clarisse, which happened to be what I was doing later today.

At ten o'clock, on the first Saturday, every month, Clarisse and I have a battle. The battle isn't nessercerally friendly, but most of the time they weren't 'I'm going to kill you' battles.

Clarisse is one of the best fighters at camp, she uses a spear, instead of a sword though. Clarisse and I were actually friends, as hard as it is to believe. Even though a few weeks after she arrived, she tried giving me a swirly, for beating and embarrassing her in a sword fighting class.

Anyway, I felt that something big would happen today, and I'm not sure if I would like it or not.

School stated on Wednesday on the first week, I have no idea why, but, who am I to complain, less school and more camp is what I say!

I was taken out of my thoughts when Nico punched me in the arm.

Nico and Thalia and come to get me on the day of the fight, as my mum had wanted me to stay an extra month because she 'hated that her baby boy was never around anymore'. Which sucked, because I wanted to go to camp Friday night and beat the Hades out of some of the dummies just lying around in the arena.

And yes, we have an Arena at Camp, as crazy as it sounds.

"We're almost there Kelp Head, so stop daydreaming" Thalia said, snaking me in the back of my head.

I scowled at her, while Nico laughed.

The car stopped and at the bottom of the hill, where the car shed stood.

The car shed looked small from the outside, but inside, it was gigantic. It could fit around 50 cars. Cars were staked on top of each other, with big metal things, holding them together.

"Seriously, every time I come in here, I have the same reaction" Nico whispered.

I nodded, completely agreeing with him.

Right now, there were around 37 cars, not including ours. Hey, there were around 268 kids at camp.

The Hephaestus kids had made this whole shed, and most of the cars.

The Hephaestus cabin, were builders, repairs, creators. They worked with metal and that sort of stuff. They were almost always covered in dirt and grease, most of the time, they were found fiddling with stray bits of metal, and strange bits and pieces.

Two of my best friends, Beckendorf and Leo, were from the Hephaestus cabin.

Beckendorf's name was really Charles Beckendorf, but no one, but his 'girlfriend' called him that. I heard her call him that over the phone once when I needed Beckendorf for something. Beckendorf was build, like really built, even big, quarterbacks and other really good football players were scared of him. He had brown hair and eyes. Beck was 18 years old. He was also the leader of cabin 9.

Leo Valdez, was a year younger then me, he was also Jason's best friend. Leo was the second in command of the Hephaestus cabin. Leo was a small Latino boy, with elf ears, he had curly brown hair and warm brown eyes. Leo was a brilliant mechanic, him and Beckendorf were very close, they were step-brothers after all. They both had the same father, but decided to take their mothers maiden names. Leo was a funny, out going guy, who sometimes helped the Stolls prank people, but I knew he had a really bad past.
