Everything just became confusing the second Cass and I entered Camp Half-Blood. To make things even worse, Rose, the daughter of Zeus, had ran off to her cabin after recieving a call from "Mr Holmes". The only Mr Holmes Cass and I knew about didn't exist: Sherlock Homes, the world's only consulting detective. He was just a a character off Sherlock. Cass kept trying to make me watch Doctor Who, which is also written by Steven Moffat, but I never had time. My life was just a whirlwind of my stepdad Mark (who was HORRIBLE) yelling at me,
"CORAL! LOOK AFTER DREW!" Drew was my 2-year-old stepsister, and she had led me to not like any girl called Drew. And, just my luck! There was a girl called Drew at Camp Half-Blood. I hoped like crazy that she'd be nothing like my stepsister. After Rose ran off, Annabeth and Newt decided to give us the Camp tour. There were simply amazing things at CHB; a lava rock climbing wall, an epic lake, a super-cool fight training area, Hephaestus Cabin forges, the cabins (apparantly they'd had to add a bunch of new cabins a few weeks ago becuase of a deal Percy made with the Olymoians) and a large area where the Camp did Sing A Longs led by the Apollo cabin each night. After our tour, Rose came running back to us, looking out of breath (we were a long way away from all the cabins by then).
"The guy who called me earlier said it's best if you two stay here. Sorry. I just had to call your mothers." Rose explained. I tried my best to hide my excitement. I could live away from Mark?!? Cass looked pretty happy, too. Newt led us to the Hermes cabin so we could relax for a bit and get settled in.
"Your dad will probably claim you tonight, don't worry." He reassured us.

At dinner, we found out that we generally offered one of the best pieces of our foods to the Gods. Since I had pizza, I offered the biggest slice of pizza.
"To my dad... whoever you are." I muttered, and headed back to my seat. Cass appeared to offer a nice-looking piece of meat to whoever her dad was. I couldn't stop hoping that we were sisters.

Since it was typical to offer the gods one of the best pieces of food on your plate, I offered the nicest piece of steak to whoever my dad was. I saw Coral just in front of me offer a large slice of pizza.

After a fairly uneventful dinner (apart from when I finally tried Cherry Coke on Coral's request), everyone trooped outside for the Sing A Long, which was, of course, led by the Apollo cabin, which was a blast. We sang typical campfire-ish songs, then everyone started staring at us. I looked at Coral. She had a blue, glowing trident above her head! By the look on her face, I had something above my head too. Sometimes I wish Coral and I had telepathic communication, especially now, when I wanted to tell Coral there was a trident above her head without risking sounding crazy. After all, Coral and I would often see things that nobody else did. For example, mum always said that there were just strawberry fields where Coral and I saw our new home.
"Cass?" Coral asked.
"Yeah?"
"You have a glowing trident above your head." Trust Coral to say things EXACTLY how she sees them. I smiled.
"Well, you do too." I replied.
"Aaaaand, welcome to the world of demigodishness." Minho smiled. "You are now officially daughters of Poseidon."
"YAY!" Percy yelled. Coral and I just laughed at our new-found half brother. Our new life as demigod daughters of Poseidon had begun.
