Ha, okay, NOW it's chapter 4... or 5 :/ I forget...

Coming up in this chapter:

Jamie gets an enemy, Thalia is introduced, and we learn why boys are never to be in charge of directions and many other things (including the world)!

Clair's POV

Walking out of the hole, I expected to be surrounded by flowers, horse guy- Chiron- standing up front in one of those camp shirts Kristin told me about, maybe little huts in the distance, and finally a beach in the far left.

But no, we ended up in a chick camp.

Yes, you heard me right. A chick camp. The second I pop out, I see Jamie yelling up a storm at some Blondie who had her bow and arrows aimed at Oscar. For a five year old, the girl could talk up a storm.

"You get your stupid little arrow away from my brother, oh Zeus help me, you will burn in the dephs of Hades until you become nothing but the gum attached to a stop light!"

Now, on any other condition, I would be laughing my butt off at the sight of any five year old standing up to a girl twice her size and (at least) three times her age.

Something about this moment told me to keep my big mouth shut.

Before Blondie could say (or think) of a comeback when a girl, who by looks was a year younger then me, walked out of a tent, followed by a girl that looked at lot like Kristin.

"Tira, what in the name of my uncle is going on here?" The younger one said. Everyone shut up at that moment. Even Jamie covered her mouth.

"Intruders, Lady Artemis," Blondie said, her voice more annoying then the moms on Toddlers and Tiara's.

Wait a second, I thought, my ADHD taking a break. Artemis... she's a goddess... OMGS I'M TALKING TO A GODDESS!

If you're wondering, then yes, that is mostly how my mind works.

Now, enough about me. Why don't we get back to the story.

By now, everyone's om there knees, bowing down to Artemis (including my little gang of misfits). Everyone (minus Robert because of his bad back) stands at the same time.

"Now, who are all of you anyway?" LAdy Artemis asked, her voice sweet yet curious. Suddenly, Kristin's 'twin' looked up. "Kristin," she said. "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing much sis," Kristin replied. "Thalia, I would like you to meet Clair, Daughter of Hera."

Gasps filled the air, including my own. Why the Hades have I never met this Thalia person? I thought.

"Then why are... they here?" Lady Artemis said, directing to Robert and Oscar.

Oscar gave Lady Artemis an annoyed look, but I spoke up before he could do anything stupid.

"Lady Artemis," I said sweetly, "we were on our way to camp, and were taking the tunnel. We may have gotten lost and popped up in the wrong exit. Can you please point us the way?"

"You want to go to your stupid mortal camp?" Blondie said, rolling her eyes at me (( again, annoying!)). "Why not join the hunt? We have a better leader then your stupid leader. What's his name ag-"

Artemis, Kristin, Jamie, Oscar, and Ellie all jumped to their feet at that remark. "Don't. You. Criticize. Chiron," Artemis said, her voice low, as if she was talking to her prey. "He is a noble leader. He lead his camp through a war that we only joined during it's last battle. Never talk that way about Chiron." With that, Lady Artemis sat down.

"He's my daddy!" Jamie screamed loudly. Everyone looked at her in shock. Well, I don't know about any of the other people here, but from what I've heard, Chiron doesn't sound like someone to... you know what... with the Goddess of love.

Ellie just rolled her eyes and stayed quiet. Something about her being here seemed... off. Like she had better things on her mind.

"Theoretically," Oscar said, pulling Jamie back. "He just acted like a father to here ever since she got to camp."

Sighs of relief~ including my own~ filled the air. That lovely little image floated away.

"We should probably get going," Kristin said.

"You should, now shouldn't you?" Lady Artemis said. "Thalia, why don't you lead this group back to camp. They need someone that nows their way," she said this while glaring at Oscar.

"Of course," Thalia said, leading the way.

"Oh, and Clair?" Lady Artemis asked.

"Yes?" I replied, turning to her.

"Pleasure to meet you,"she said, and turned to the tent she was in when we arrived.

(( TIME SKIP ))

This Thalia chick seems pretty cool. Minus the fact that she can make lightning shoot from her hands (which Kristin can also do, believe it or not) she isn't totally lame. Ya, she's technically older then us (you know, the huntress immortality and stuff) but she can sure act like she's our age.

So, she's going on, telling us about some dude named Percy Jackson and yada yada, when that Ellie girl bumped into me.

"Sorry," she said, running her fingers through her hair.

"No problem," I said. "I feel like we haven't talked a lot. I'm Clair.

"Ellie, daughter of Apollo," she said, smiling oddly at me.

"So, how's camp for you?" I asked her, trying to make everything less stale.

"Good. I got a boyfriend, friends, big family," Ellie said, looking up.

"Who's the boyfriend?" I asked, nudging her.

"Someone..." she said quietly. I decided not to push and walked next to Oscar.

"Where's this camp anyway?" I asked.

He pointed ahead, "There!"

"Race you?" Clair asked.

"You're on!" Oscar said.

"One."

"Two."

"THREE!" we screamed together, running to camp.

"Clair, Daughter of Hera," Oscar said, "Welcome to camp half-blood."
