The next day was very eventful. Chiron predicted that Percy would wake up very soon. Me and Grover were busy getting the porch looking just right for his awake. The poor kid, just lost his mom and smelled of beef for a day and a half.

"Do you think that they'll take my searchers licence away?" Grover bleated, his upper-lip quivering. I felt a pang in my heart.

"No, they can't do that, Grover! You're one of the best satyrs out there! Don't give up up faith!" He tried to smile at me, but his lip got in the way.

"Thanks Annabeth" He said once we were done. "Can you help me carry him out here?"

"I'll take the head, you'll take the legs" I smirked. He nodded, trying to seem more cheerful.

We brought Percy outside to let him see the view over the side of the hill. It was absolutely breath taking, I'll admit it. It would be nice to let him see something so nice so we could give him a good view of Camp.

"Okay, here we go. Thank's alot Annabeth" Grover said, putting Percy down. I smiled and went around to the opposite side of the porch. Chiron and Mr D were playing Pinochle, and chatting, like good friends.

I wasn't listening to their conversation in detail and I only picked up on a few bits. Most of the things I heard were to do with the game. I leaned over the railing and watched the campers go about their lives, training for something they might not even face.

I saw Clarrisse poking some other innocent campers and some satyrs playing volleyball. It was Saturday, and we take that as a day off, before resuming our activities again tomorrow.

I heard footsteps on the porch get closer and closer.

"That's Mr D. He's the camp directer, so be polite." I heard Grover half-whisper. "The girl, that's Annabeth Chase. She's just a camper, but she's been here longer than just about anybody" I smirked at my introduction.

"And you already know Chiron..." So he knew Chiron from before-hand, huh?

"Mr Brunner!" Percy shrieked. My smirk was plastered on my face. He sounded like a girl.

Chiron said a few things to him and then called me.

"Annabeth?" I went towards them. Chiron was smiling and Percy was startled.

"This young lady nursed you back to health, Percy. Annabeth, my dear, why don't you check on Percy's bunk? We'll be putting him in Cabin Eleven for now."

I half-nodded. "Sure, Chiron"

I noticed Percy squinting at me and I scrutinised his face. He looked... well normal. I was kinda dissappointed. He seemed to be waiting for me to say something. I looked at the box in his hand, then back at him. Probably the minotaur horn. What, did he expect me to compliment him, or throw myself all over him? Ha!

"You drool when you sleep." I said. He started to blush. I almost stuck my tongue out, but I held the urge and sprinted to the Hermes cabin to check on his bed.

Luke was clearing a space, a job I asked him to do yesterday. When he saw me, he scratched the back of his head, nervously. I chuckled.

"Haha, I'm kind of a procrastinator" Luke said.

He finished with the space and told his other siblings and campers to move up. They grumbled in response. The Hermes cabin was always full, no matter what. I don't know why the gods forgot their children. I was lucky that Athena claimed me, or else I would still be stuck here.

"Percy woke up. He's coming in a few minutes. I'll wait outside for you" I nodded. My book was tucked in the grass, because I had prepared for this. I heard Chiron and Percy coming, and saw Percy look into cabin 3. Big mistake.
