Callie's P.O.V

'So this is the kid who found the fleece. I'm not sure what I expected but he's kind of scrawny for the hero of Olympus. Arin stumbled and leaned into me then I saw the huge gash on his right leg.

"Oh my gods Arin" I say in shock it looked really bad

"I-Its fine" he stuttered clearly in pain "No its not your Zeus forbidden leg is bleeding." I say getting annoyed he never accepted pain he always said I'm fine its ok I'm good.

"We better get you to the infirmary." Chiron said I wanted to argue but it looked really bad, I let Arin use me as some sort of a crutch and led him to the infirmary. I haven't been here in such a long time.

"Why don't you all wait outside." Chiron said as I helped Arin onto a cot. I gave Arin a reassuring smile and then looked at Chiron like 'don't mess this up' As I walked outside.

Percy's P.O.V

Callie was leaning against the railing in front of the infirmary, so I walked up and stood next to her. She saw me but didn't say any thing.

"So, can I get a little history of you, where are you from?" I say

"Here" she says walking away "No I mean where is your mom."

"I don't know, never met her." she replies with no emotion "my dad took care of me until I was 3, then he sent me here."

"So you never even met your mom?" "Nope" She said starring at the floor as if remembering something. Wait this doesn't add up.

"How old are you?" I ask "Do you always ask this many questions?" She said back looking up now "I'm 15." "But then if your younger than me how did Apollo stay in contact without Zeus realizing?" I said utterly confused "Cant control Apollo Percy, you should know that by now." She said with a small smile

She had a point, Apollo was unpredictable, not even Zeus can make him follow every rule. But then I saw that Apollo must be pretty stealthy if Zeus had never noticed a thing, unless they had made some sort of a deal like 'since her mom is gone let me take care of her until she's old enough' sort of thing.

"Where were you since you obviously weren't here?" I asked "I ran off" she said "just arin and me" "How old were you?" I said "8" she replied "What, you left camp when you were eight?"

"Yeah" she said getting agitated "Sorry ill stop with the questions, do you want me to show you to your cabin?" I said, she laughed "You can walk with me I know where I'm going."
