The New Camper (a Percy Jackson fanfiction)

The Dionysus cabin

Chiron galloped over."I want all campers in their cabins now!"

We all ran for it.

"Ares campers, to the Dionysus cabin!" Yelled mr. D

We ran to the cabin where mr. D's two sons Pollux and Castor were sitting on their beds polishing their swords.

They both, like their dad had greenish eyes and black-purple hair. They also, unlike their dad were tall and muscle bound.

Actually, they were both pretty hot.

I looked around the cabin. "Whoa."

The place had murals of grape fields and winery houses with a border of grapevines adorning the window frames. There was a purple couch in the corner of the room next to a mahogany coffee table, a bookshelf, and a sixty inch plasma screen TV. I looked up to see a loft with grape plants and a table and chairs.

It was beautiful.

I sat down on the couch.

Castor came and sat down next to me.

"Hi. Pamela right?" He asked.

I smiled. "That's me."

He held out a hand. "Castor."

"Nice to meet you." I said.

"So how long have you been at camp?" He asked.

"About a week, how about you?"

"Pollux and I were both raised here." He told me.

"Had a lot of training?" I asked.

"Yeah, but not enough to do some serious damage." He said. "You were only were here for a few days and you killed an empousa." He said. "That was awesome."

"Thanks. AT LEAST SOMEONE APPRECIATES IT." I said really loud to my siblings, not breaking my gaze at Castor. "Ethan and I make a pretty good team."

"Yeah, you and your boyfriend are pretty good fighters." He said.

"Wait, what?!" I said. "Ethan and I aren't dating."

"Oh." Said Castor. "People have been saying that you guys are together."

I shot a menacing glance at Ares cabin. "Oh, really!"

"Don't worry, I'll kill the rumor." He whispered to me and smiled.

I sighed. "Thank you."

Pollux threw Clarisse a rag and she cleaned off her sword. I hadn't really noticed before but other than Clarisse, all the other Ares people were boys.

Except me. (Gods, it feels awesome to say that!)

"You guys okay?" I asked.

Clarisse scowled. "We're fine Pam." She said. It sounded not as hateful as her first sentence to me.

(And believe me, that's saying something.)

I smiled. (She gave me a nickname, Pam. I know that she at least doesn't hate me now.)

Then I heard a knock at the door.

Brian walked over, sword in hand, and opened it.

Without looking, he swung his sword at the closest thing.

Ethan.

Ethan ducked and pulled out his sword, parrying Brian's strike.

"What the hell!" I yelled , ran over, and kicked Brian in the place where it hurts most.

"Ooh!" Winced Castor.

"I know you don't like him, but do you have to try to decapitate my friend!" I screamed and grabbed the collar of Brian's shirt. "You better sleep with one eye open!" I threw him on the ground.

Ethan grabbed my hand and led me out of the cabin.

He quickly pulled me into a hug. He pulled away, and gripped my shoulders.

"Pamela, I was so worried about you."

I smiled and laughed. "I was worried about you too!" I put my arms around his shoulders.

"But I'm fine and you're fine." I said.

Ethan looked at the side of my face.

"Oh my god Pamela, you're burned."

I put a hand on my temple where I felt a rift in my skin.

"Oh gods, is it bad?!"

I felt Ethan's cool fingertips by my eye. He looked at the burn. "I think it'll be fine."

"Thanks." I said.

"So you're okay with the Ares people?" He asked.

"We're cool." I said

He sighed. "That's nice to know."

"You should head back to Hermes cabin." I said. "I'll see you after dinner though."

"Okay, I'll see you later." He said, then he did something I didn't expect.

He kissed me on the cheek.

"I'll see you later Pamela." He said, then walked back to his cabin.

I blushed.

Wow.
