As Kai and Will entered the dining pavilion, silence fell over the camp. Suddenly, everyone broke into applause. As they walked through the tables, everyone looked at her with admiration. As she walked past the tables, she noticed one of them had only one member; her brother-Percy Jackson. He grinned at her then beckoned her over. Kai walked over and sat down opposite Percy. 

'Don't look so nervous,' he grinned, 'It's not me you have to worry about.' He pointed towards one of the tables.

'They're the Ares kids. They will literally break your face if you do anything to annoy them.' He pointed towards another table.

'They're the children of Hermes. You have to stay alert around them - their father is the god of thieves and most pranks, so try not to get on their bad side,' He shuddered, 'And believe me, their pranks aren't pleasant.'

'So...' Kai said, 'Don't get on the bad side of pretty much any of the campers I'm guessing.'

'Pretty much,' Percy shrugged, 'Also, he's Chiron,' Percy said, pointing to the horse-man,

'Later, you should talk to him - he'll explain everything.' Suddenly, there was a crash from the other side of the pavilion. All of the Ares campers collapsed. Percy sighed.

'Why Travis,' he muttered, 'Just why.'

'Umm...' Kai said, 'What exactly just happened?' Percy sighed again.

'Last week, one of the Ares kids broke one of the Hermes kids's leg, and I'm guessing that this is their way of getting revenge.'

"Oh... so that stuff happens here?" She checked, as she burst out laughing, drawing weird looks to herself.

"Sorr-yyyy. But seriously, this place is weird - nothing like home. Speaking about home, Mom'll probably be freaking out. I need to tell her where I am!" She exclaimed before doing a double-take. "Where exactly AM I?"

"Seriously Kai, don't tell me they didn't tell you. " Percy groaned as he rolled his eyes,"We're in America."

"Crap. How the bloody hell did I get to America?! I swear I was in England in the morning!" He sighed.

"Don't ask. Just, don't even bother, kay? I'll explain everything to you once we get back to the cabin."

"Err. Um k...?" She muttered before picking at her food. It was a plate of mash potato with chicken and gravy. "Hey, I'm a vegetarian... do you have anything I can actually eat?"

"CHIRON!" Percy called over as Kai's words registered into his brain, "Hey, my sis here's a veg! Do we have any proper food?"

 As a fresh plate was brought for Kai, she thanked her brother and finished her meal. "C'mon. Cabin - now. 

"She gasped as she entered Cabin 3 - her new home. It was painted an ocean-blue colour, with occasional waves drawn on the wall. There were 6 bunk beds, all with blue bedsheets and sea prints. Water danced at their feet and there was a closet out at the back - barely occupied with only Percy's clothes. Up front of the room, there was a small shrine of Poseidon. Yep, it was him all right - green eyes, Hawaiian shirt, shorts, sandals. Jeez, that guy really was weird.

"Uh, Hey, Percy... care to explain how I'm here?" She asked, placing a hand on her newly-found brother's shoulder. "Actually, first tell me how old you are. I'm 12."

"Right, so I'm Percy Jackson (as you obviously already know) and I'm 16."

"Woah dude, you're old." Kai laughed as she tried to ignore Percy's face of pure, dry unamusment.

"Hey, shut it. Or I won't tell you how you got here, or how you'll get back! Shoot - just joking! God, you're strong!" He exclaimed as Kai firmly punched him in the shoulder.

"Continue, or else..." she commanded, before once again bursting into pearls of laughter."Oh, my, god," she said, trying to catch her breath, "You a re so gullible!"

"Do you wanna hear the story, or not? I'm counting 3-2-"

"Ok, ok! God, having a sibling is exhausting! Lol, joking! Now tell me!"

"Finally, so. From what I've heard, Blackjack found you. Remember him? Pegasus?"

"Oh yeah, the talking Pegasus! I swear he kept muttering doughnuts.. that's all I remember after I... fainted? Fell asleep? Hey, do you know what happened?"

"Uh, that was probably his means of transporting you here. And about doughnuts, all he thinks are doughnuts! Trust me, everything revolves around doughnuts for him! I should know, I'm his master." He stated, before laughing at Kai's look of dry amusement at the mention of the Pegasus' obsession of doughnuts.

"Ok... I'll accept that." She said, before asking him, " by the way... what have you done? Like, why is everyone going like 'Percy Jackson! Percy Jackson! Oh I'm going to die if you don't talk to me!'? And what about Annabeth? I heard she's your girlfriend. Hm, hm, spill!" She said slyly, as she watched her brother's face steadily reddening. He suddenly became very interested with a speck of dirt on his jeans..

"Heh.. so I - along with Leo, Piper, Jason, Festus the dragon, Annabeth, Hazel, Frank and I guess the Gods helped in the end, oh and yeah, Reyna helped too - we fought the Earth mother, Geaea, and Kronos, the evil Titan. We had to kill evil Titans and send them to Tartarus (where they go till they're strong enough to come back to this world). So I guess that answers your first question. About the second one..." he answered, looking sort of embarrassed bearing the end, "Annabeth and I met when we were 12, dating 16. That was after we went on our third quest together, when we had to navigate the labyrinth. That was when I found out I was a demigod. Hey, same age as you! Anyway, so it turns out Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, has stolen it and he was trying to reintroduce Kronos. Unfortunately for him, he dies in the end as, well, Annabeth talked some sense into him, and in order for Kronos to be defeated, he had to die. So he stabbed himself with the 'cursed blade'. Oof!" He shuddered as he remembered what had happened four years ago, "Bad memories. Anyway, enough about me. Tell me about you." He finished, looking up to see his sister's astonished face. "Kai, you ok?"

"I'm so sorry! I made you tell me about this... I feel so bad for making you remember, ugh! I'm so sorry!" She burst out, her green eyes penetrating Percy's. 'Wow,' her thought as he looked at his sister's concerned face and took in her posture, 'she really thinks she did something bad. Okay, having a sister is weird. But sweet.'

"Percy?" Kai asked tentively.

"Don't worry about it. Now, tell me about yourself!" He replied, reassuringly squeezing his sister's hand.

"Okay!" She replied, brightening up at once, "so I'm Kai Colesseu and I live with my mom in England. I'm an only child and I'm a vegetarian- Mom thinks you shouldn't kill anything if you don't need to. Oh, and apparently I'm a weird case, because I don't have dyslexia or ADHD. At least that's Annabeth's definition of *different*." She informed him, pausing slightly at the end.

"Oh uh, that's certainly *different*, but I don't think it's gonna matter greatly. C'mon! Let's go! I wanna show you around!" He said, gesturing her to get up and pushing her out the door. Brother and sister went out on a tour of the camp, Percy answering all her questions.
