Well Lookie Here I'm a Demigod

Chapter 2

Percy

After about an hour and half on a river, in a boat, with a new demigod, it gets a bit awkward.

"Well, I am a son of Poseidon and we don't know who your-"

"Who am I the daughter of!?" Ariana asks excitedly.

"You are never going to let me finish my sentences are you? Well we don't know who your dad or mom is. So maybe you will get claimed tonight." I say.

"Um, what is claiming exactly?"

"Well, we don't really know when but your dad or mom will send a message to us saying that he or she has claimed you. When I was claimed I had a trident over my head, when my girlfriend, Annabeth, was claimed she had an owl over head, do you get it?"

"Sure, I'm just saying that because well I don't want you to say it again." Ariana says

Finally after another half hour we arrive at Long Island. I show her around a little bit of New York then I decid that we should go ahead and go to Camp Half-Blood. I "rent" a car and we start going down the road that I know so well. Better than the back of my hand! Or, however that saying goes. Ariana asks,"this is a cool car! Where did you get?"

"I borrowed it."

"From a stranger?"

"Well, um, yeah."

After about only 10 minutes we arrive at Half-Blood Hill.

"Well this is Camp Half-Blood! Where you will be trained, make friends, and go on quests." I tell Ariana

"Um, not to be rude or anything but YOU GUYS LOOK SO VIOLENT!"

She tells me shaking my shoulders.

"That is how we train ourselves. Archery, Sword fighting, capture the flag, and many other things!"

"Capture the flag? Isn't that a little babyish? I mean I played that in 6th grade in gym. Are you sure that helps us train?" Ariana asks a little confused

"Oh no, it's not childish, we have armor and weapons and do whatever we can to get the other flag. Before you ask anything there is NO killing."

"Okay good or else I would have been the first one to go."

After that conversation I show her the cabins, first I show her mine, why wouldn't I? When we enter I see Tyson, my cyclops brother, sitting on his bed playing with his My Little Pony. When he looks up and sees me, he jumps up and runs toward me and hugs me as tight as he can, which is pretty tight, considering he's a cyclops.

"Did you bring me more ponies?"

Tyson asks.

"I...can't...breath...let...go...of...me!

Well thanks for that giant hug and here you go!" I say giving him a horse pillow pet. I got it when I got my panda pillow pet that Octavian slaughtered. I still miss that little guy.

"Who is she?" Tyson asks cuddling his new pony pillow.

"Oh, her? She's a demigod I found about to be attacked by Medusa."

"Medusa is not good!"

"No, she's not! Well Ariana, Tyson. Tyson, Ariana. Okay let's get moving!" I say gesturing to the door.

After showing her the Big House, strawberry fields, the firework beach, and the climbing wall we run into Annabeth dueling with her half brother, Malcolm.

"Hey, Annabeth, come here!"

"Hey Seaweed Brain. What's up?" She asks taking off her helmet. She had tan skin blond hair and gray eyes.

"This is a new demigod! Her name is Ariana, she has survived without Camp Half-Blood for 16 years!"

"Whoa, you must be pretty lucky to have survived that long!"

"Ariana, this is the girl I was talking about, Annabeth, my girlfriend."

"Oh yeah I remember her, you must be really good at battle strategy since you're a daughter of Athena!" Ariana says, amazed.

"Yeah, she is the best in the camp!"

Then the horn blows for dinner.
