annabeth walked me through the door of the Hermes cabin i could tell she was already very protective of me. when we walked through the door we were greeted by a question " claimed or undetermined" a boy said.

" undetermined" said annabeth everyone in the cabin but annabeth looked at me like i was a freak

"SO WHERE WILL I STAY" I ASKED THE BOY NEXT TO ME AFTER ANNABETH HAD LEFT

" HOW ABOUT OVER THERE" HE POINTED TO A EMPTY SPACE ON THE FLOOR THAT EVERYONE SEEMED TO AVOID

" WHY IS NONE SLEEPING OVER THERE?"

" OH THAT'S WHERE LUKE USED TO SLEEP" HE SAID NERVOUSLY " EVERYONE IS SCAIRED TO SLEEP THERE BECAUSE YOU KNOW BAD LUCK

" WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"

" IT'S BAD LUCK TO SLEEP IN THE BED OF A DEAD PERSON EXPECTUALLY IF THEY WERE EVIL"

" HUH"

" WHAT I MEAN IS.. DID ANNABETH TELL YOU ABOUT THE WAR"

" A BIT BUT I WAS WONDERING WHO STARTED IT?"

" LUKE"

" WHY?"

" HE WAS TIRED OF BEING IGNORED BY HIS DAD I THINK AND WELL HE SORT OF SNAPPED"

" OH, "

3 WEEKS LATER

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i was starting to lose hope. maybe my dad didn't want me. maybe i was a mistake. i looked on with envy at the other girls. it was the day before the 4th of July.

" hey, maybe your dad will claim you tomorrow" my new friend PO said. she had arrived at camp a few days after i had. her mom was from china and she had only been in the united states for a year before she had become pregnant. PO and i were both unclaimed. if we hadn't became friends two weeks ago we would of lost hope. we slept next to each other in the cabin. in the little bit of time we had been at camp Percy and annabeth had taken us under their wings, we were like little sisters to them.

the day went by with out anything even remotely exiting happening. after breakfast PO and i went our separate ways. her to the canoe lake, and me to the archery range, both things we exeled at. by the time dinner was ready we were both exhausted, i went to the bronze brazier to burn the juiciest piect of meat for which ever god was my dad. " dad," i prayed " if your listening i don't care who you are i don't want to end up like Luke. i'm scared please if you love me and if i'm not a mistake you made. please claim me please" i wiped away a tear and walked back to my seat.

" lily are you OK" said PO

" yea" i said as my voice broke. i felt a arm around my shoulders, i turned around to see my other friend Nico.

" hey lily, it'll be OK" he said

" thanks Nico" i said

" anytime he said before walking away. the rest of the night was exactly like the night before. we had s'mores, while we sang me, nico, and PO were sitting between Percy and annabeth. after the fire became less bright and it was close to curfew, long after PO had passed out, we headed for the cabin. we went to bed and my last thought before passing out was " what made Luke turn?"
