Part 1: Tori's POV

Lightning flashes outside, thunder shaking the building. Rain was pouring down hard on Hollywood Arts. My eyes were stuck looking out the window. We were in Sikowitz's class. Sure he was my favorite teacher but today I felt numb. He was droning about emotion and dialogue. His words didn't make their way to my ears. Another ray of lightning, the hairs on the back of my neck rising. My fingers twitch with an unusual adrenaline. I couldn't slow my racing heart rate. It was just hammering in my ribcage. Droplets of rain trail down the windows, leaving a wet path. "Tori?" someone asks me.

Blinking hard, I turn to the several eyes on me. My friends were looking at me with concern. "Yes, Sikowitz?" I reply with no expression. His eyebrows dig into his forehead. Before I look toward the ground, I catch a pair of blue green eyes on me. Jade...

Our teacher swallows and looks from me to the window. He seems uneasy. "Well, since you were staring out the window, can you explain how emotions tie up with weather and or the seasons?" Easy. The coconut addict must've tried to be easy on me. I was one of his best students.

Sighing, I sit up straighter in my seat. "Weather and emotions are basically connected to each other. The emotions for summer are usually content, relaxed, or laid back. Winter would be ill, weak, or mean. When you feel a certain emotion, you usually tend to like a particular season more. Since I'm usually happy or peppy, I love summer. It all matches." The words just rolled out of my mouth without any thought whatsoever. He nods and claps in agreement.

"Very good, Tori. That's exactly what I mean. As actors, we need to feel all of those emotions and then produce then into our work. For some, it will be easier to act in comedies or cheerful plays but for others, it would be dramas, suspense, or tragedies." Most of the class nods in agreement and Sikowitz smiles. The final bell of the day rings and everyone gets up and walks to the door, leaving for home. "Tori, Jade, Cat, Beck, Andre, and Robbie, please stay back for a quick moment." We all stay back and he observes us and then nods. "Do you know why you're all here?" he questions us.

Jade growls, her jaw clenching. "Is it because you're crazy and you want us to do another stupid acting assignment? Count me out." Our teacher shakes his head and limps toward us. Why was he limping?

He clears his throat in utter disappointment. "You six are very special. More special than you can imagine." There was a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "That's why you must leave Hollywood Arts."

"WHAT?" We yell. Why did he mean leave Hollywood Arts? Not to brag but we were the most talented kids in the whole school! They couldn't get rid of us that easily.

Sikowitz walks to the back door and eyes the clock. "They'll be here soon. Hopefully before he finds you," he mutters. Lightning flashes and thunder cracks. The windows somehow open on their own, the wall crumbling. Something is flying toward us in the sky. Were those flying horses? And, are they carrying people with them? "They're here!" He waves for them to come closer. The majestic horses come to a stop and I study their wings. They were Pegasi! The horses with wings eye me and bow. My eyes widen at the sudden gesture. Our teacher grins. "Looks like they like you, Tori," he states.

One person hops off of both the flying horses making it two people. They trudge in closer and examine us. They were both teens close to our age but we were slightly older than them. I could just tell. One was a guy with windswept black hair, the same color of Jade's hair but he had sea green eyes and had a moderate tan. The other person was a girl with curled honey blond hair and stormy grey eyes with a light tan. Both teens look fit and not to lie, attractive. The girl steps forth, "Are these them, Sikowitz?" she asks our teacher. He nods eagerly and grins like a maniac. The girl nods and turns to us. "All right. First things first, my name's Annabeth Chase and this," she points to the guy, who grins at us, "is Percy Jackson, my boyfriend. We're from Camp Half Blood and you are all demigods."

Cat raises her hand nervously. "Um, Ms. Chase, what are demigods?" We all nod to her question and lightning flashes through the sky.

Annabeth sighs, like she's answered this question too many times before. "Sometimes, the Greek gods come down to earth and have affairs with humans and we're the result of that." Our eyes widen in shock and she smirks. "In shorter words, we're half god half human. Or half-bloods." The storm was lighting up a bit, the sky was only covered in light clouds. "C'mon, we better get to camp." The guy Percy whistles and more Pegasi make it over to us. Six more to be exact. One for each of us. "Hop on board. They're friendly."

I stalk up to one and he nuzzles his nose into my hand. Percy watches me intently. I climb onto the Pegasus and stroke its mane. The rest of them get on their horses with wings and I look at Sikowitz who waves a farewell to us. "Bye Sikowitz! I'll miss you!" I inform. He just grins and nods at me. There was a twinkle in his eyes again. Was it pride? I think so. Smiling, I nudge my flying creature and it takes off faster than the rest. Adrenaline rushes through me and leaves me full of power and energy. Percy catches up to me and grins. "Hey Percy!" I call out over the strong winds. "I'm Tori Vega." I introduce myself. The horse nickers. His deep brown eyes were full of cheer and welcome, almost like it accepted me as its rider. He was a dark tan with a mane exactly like my hair color. I bet he was made for me.

"Hey there, Tori! It's nice you." His Pegasus was pure black with a shiny dark mane. It's eyes were dark brown. It was beautiful. "I see your horse likes you already," he comments contently. His hand strokes his horse's head. "This is Blackjack, my Pegasus. He's the only pure black breed of Pegasi we know of. You're friend with the blue eyes has a dark blue one though." He must mean Jade.

Nodding, I gaze at the ground below me. It looks like we're going pretty fast. "So, how do we know who our godly parent is?" I ask him curiously.

His eyes land on my horse's neck. "They'll hopefully claim you at camp. A lot of demigods are now being claimed so I think you'll be fine," he smiles genuinely at me. "Besides, I can tell you're pretty powerful. You'll be claimed in no time. I'm the son of Poseidon by the way. The god of the seas, earthquakes, and horses. He's one of the Big Three. Annabeth is the daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy."

My head tilts to the side curiously. "Who are the Big Three? Is it rare to find a demigod child who was sired by one of them?"

He nods and keeps his stare ahead of him. "The Big Three are Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Its very rare to find a demigod who is their child since they used to have a pact to not have children. They're the three brothers of Rhea and the strongest. Zeus controls the sky, Poseidon the sea, and Hades the Underworld. Together, they all rule the earth along with the other Olympians. There are twelve Olympians; Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Hera, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Dionysus, Demeter, and Hephaestus. They make part of the Olympian Council." The dark haired boy notices my confused face. "Yeah, I know it's a lot to take in but you'll have classes at camp that'll explain all of this to you so you're not confused anymore." We smile, our horses neigh and we look down at the ground. We were just above Long Island Sound, New York. Wow, that was a quick journey.

A horse rides next to us and I notice its Annabeth. "We have to land now, Percy. Dive!" All eight of us dive in and we rush toward the island where I see a fairly large camp. "Pull back!" Annabeth commands. I pull back on my Pegasus and he gently lands on unknown territory. We were on the hill and down in the valley was a big camp. A tree stood at the hill and there was a sign that said, 'WELCOME TO CAMP HALF-BLOOD.' I look around and witness kids and teens of all shaped and sizes, all wearing orange shirts that read, 'CAMP HALF-BLOOD.' "Alright demigods," the blond girl informs, "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, your new home." I mount off of my flying horse and pet his mane and he nuzzles against the side of my face.

"I think I'll call you Bolt," I murmur. "You like that?" His soft fur rubs against my tan skin. He lets out a nicker and I grin. "I'll see you soon, boy." Leaving his side, he and the other Pegasi head back to a stable. Probably their official home. My eyes wander the camp, never ceasing to be unsurprised. There was a rock climbing wall where lava scorched kids who were too slow to climb to the top in time. I saw a cafeteria and sword arena. It all looked pretty cool.

We all stop in the centre courtyard, looking at different number of cabins. All together, there were 21 cabins, all arranged in an Omega shape. Cabin 1 was made of pure white marble, with a shimmering bronze door. It was easily the largest cabin, and the grandest, with its thick white columns and fancy lightning-bolt decor. Cabin 2 was more graceful, with peacock decor and flowers climbing up the columns. Cabin 3 had a low roof, but it was longer space-wise. It was made of blue marble, with shells and coral decor. Cabin 4 looked like it was made of real grass, and tomato vines with plump fresh tomatoes were circling it. Cabin 5 was entirely different. It was badly painted red, with barbed wire over the roof, and a stuffed boar's head above the door. It looked almost as mean as Jade. Cabin 6 was silvery-gray, with an owl carving above the doorway, and plain white curtains hung in the windows. Cabin 7 looked ordinary, but when the sunlight hit it, it looked like solid gold and quite hard to look at without your eyes hurting. Cabin 8 was a shimmery silver, and looked beautiful, but empty. Cabin 9 was made of red and brown brick, with a large chimney and solid metal door. It looked like a tiny factory. Cabin 10 was just plain beautiful. It had white-and-blue checkered pattern, and white pillars. There were latticed curtains and carnations on the window sills. It looked like Supermodel Heaven. Cabin 11 was very worn-looking, with peeling brown paint. Cabin 12 looked swarmed with grape vines, and had purple walls you could see faintly through them. The other cabins weren't quite as fancy, except for Cabin 13, which was a deep black color, with flickering flamed torches set around it and a skull above the doorway.

Annabeth walks to the front and smiles. "All of you will be placed in your own cabin, the cabin of your godly parent. Then we'll give you your schedule and you'll basically live here now. This is the only place one earth where it's safe for people like us. Out there in the real world, monsters are waiting for us. Waiting to kill and eat us. But as long as you stay here, you'll be safe. You'll train to fend for yourself against the beasts. Your parents are being informed by Sikowitz that you're here so there's no need to worry."

The little redhead walks up to her. "What about Sikowitz? Wasn't he supposed to be here with us?" she questions the grey eyed girl.

The blond girl blinks at Cat and nods. "Yes well, Sikowitz is a satyr. He was your protecter until Percy and I brought you to camp. He watched over you and kept you safe from monsters. A satyr is a half man half goat. They protect demigods, it's their job. He'll be fine. Sikowitz will probably keep us updated on the Hollywood Arts area." Our teacher was half goat? Well that explains a lot. Sort of.

Beck retrieves Cat and looks at me. "When do we get claimed by our godly parents?" The two half-bloods shrug and wave for a horse to come over. Wait a minute, it was half horse and half a man! From the waist up, the man was connected to the body of a big brown stallion. "Who's that?"

Percy smiles. "It's Chiron. He's a centaur, half man half horse. He and Dionysus run the camp. He's head of the camp and our trainer." Said centaur gallops his way over to us and observes us. A bow was in his hand, a quiver of arrows on his back. All he wore was a brown, cut off leather jacket. No sleeves, and it had no zipper. Luckily, his human body wasn't as hairy like the rest of his body. All he had was a beard and a horse's rear.

"Ah, these are the new six demigods. A new record here in camp," he announces. Suddenly, a hundred pairs of eyes were on us. "Percy and Annabeth, well done. Are they claimed yet?" he asks. "I'll announce it to the camp once they're claimed."

Abruptly, a symbol appears over Robbie's head. It looked like a caduceus and a pair of sandals with wings. "Robbie Shapiro, son of Hermes, god of thieves and messengers!" His eyes were wide as he was claimed. "Cabin 11 for you, boy."

Then a lyre and a bow and arrow appears above Andre. "Andre Harris, son of Apollo, god of music, poetry, and archery!" Well that made sense. The guy was a musical prodigy. "Cabin 7 for you, Mr. Harris."

A symbol of love and doves floats above Beck's head. It was all feminine and beauty like. He shimmers for a second and he was a thousand times more attractive than before. "Beck Oliver, son of Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty!" Given his looks, Beck was a certain son of the beauty goddess. "Cabin 10 for you, Beck."

Another symbol lay upon Cat's head. It was plants and animals. Flowers most of all. A rose sprouts from the ground in front of her. "Cat Valentine, daughter of Demeter, goddess of fertility, nature, and agriculture!" The ditzy redhead was good with animals and plants. Made sense. "Cabin 4 for you, girl."

No other symbols appear above Jade or I. We still weren't claimed yet. That was a depressing note. Chiron caught my expression and places a hand on my shoulder. "You'll be claimed at the bonfire. I can feel it in my hooves. Both of you are powerful so I can't expect any less. Percy, please give them their schedules and Annabeth, help escort them to their cabins. I have a class to teach." He rides away, leaving me confused and desperate.

Percy gives me a sympathetic look. "I bet you'll be claimed soon. Chiron's right. You're strong and so is that goth girl." He gives me my schedule and I skim over it. I have Archery, Greek Mythology, Pegasus Riding, Ancient Greek, Weapon Making, Sword Fighting, Free Time, and Capture The Flag. "We have Capture The Flag every Friday so that's tomorrow. Your temporary cabin is Cabin 21, the back up cabin. The bonfire will start in about twenty minutes so go check out your cabin." He leads me to Cabin 21 which is almost like Cabin 11 but except its more humble and mortal like. I bet its a spare cabin, for satyrs or unclaimed demigods. Well that's a happy note. The only person I see there is Jade. Her eyes flicker to mine and I gulp nervously. "I'll leave you two alone," he interrupts. "Come to the bonfire when they blow the horn. Good luck, Tori!" Percy then runs off to do some other job. God I wished he stayed.

I sit on one of the bunk beds and sigh. It was a pretty comfy cabin. There were five total bunks so ten beds. Pretty roomy in here. On the ground, there were two bags of spare clothes and other necessities. "So, pretty exciting, huh?" I ask the goth.

She scowls at me and I press my lips together tightly. Gah, me and my loud mouth. "No it's not exciting. I don't want to be a useless demigod. An undecided one is worse. Here I am, stuck with you for probably the rest of my life. That's not fun. I'd rather be eaten by a monster. I just want my own cabin, far away from you," she sneers. A frown falls on my face. All I wanted to do was lift her mood! Not a ramble of her hatred towards me.

Closing my eyes, I plea for my godly parent to claim me at the bonfire. We both sit here in silence as we stare at our phones. It was the only thing we had left that was from the mortal world but there was no Wi-Fi here so I just play on the game apps and look at my old pictures. Pictures of my family and friends, family I'll never see again. A shaky sigh rattles my body, tears threatening to fall but I don't let them. I catch Jade's strong gaze on me but I say nothing. A loud horn is blown in the distance and I jump to my feet. "Come on, we can't be late to the bonfire." How did my life just flip around? It wasn't fair. Together, we stroll to the bonfire and sit next to our friends. Percy and Annabeth sit next to me with a smile on their face. They were holding hands. They made a cute couple. It was perfect.

A man with a beard and a Hawaiian shirt makes his way to the center. An expression of boredom and 'I don't want to be here' was scribbled all over his face. "Welcome everyone, I'll skip the pleasantries now. We have new campers today, a big whoop," he congratulates lazily. So this was Dionysus? "As I reminder, I'm Mr. D, camp director. Now sing your song and-" There was a big gasp and a symbol over Jade's head. It was a black and green fire with skulls. His eyes narrow at her. A swirl of black purple fire corrupts around her. Her eyes were bright and intimidating. "Jade West, daughter of Hades, god of the underworld and the dead. How interesting," he muses. Chiron was off to the side with wide eyes. He said we were strong but he didn't know one of us were children of the Big Three. "A child of Hades, very peculiar. Surprising even," he babbles. "Very rare indeed. The thought of his child being claimed publicly is a mystery to me." Chiron and Mr. D were whispering in the corner now, the camp gawking at Jade. A smugly smirk was on her face. Her eyes menacingly glare into mine. It meant, 'Ha! I'm a child of the Big Three! Can't top that, Vega!' I bet she's the new talk of the camp. It wouldn't surprise me if she was the scariest person in camp now.

Sighing in disappointment, I bow my head slightly. Once again, she proved to be better than me. A child of the Big Three, dammit. Suddenly, lightning flashes through the sky, thunder cracking. Mr. D and Chiron look up in wonder. Everyone was confused. Then a large bolt hit straight down towards the bonfire and went right through me. Screams and gasps were the only things that were audible. What was happening? My eyes were wide in shock that one, it didn't hurt and two, that a lightning bolt was going through me. A tingling sensation courses my body, my body crackling with electricity. My fingertips were charged with an electric shock. My breathing picks up, a powerful adrenaline zapping my body to life. A symbol of a shield and a lightning bolt hovers above me. I look around, everyone had wide eyes, even the directors themselves. No one has ever been claimed like that before. I was up on my feet, a holographic sword appearing in my fist. What was going on? Why wasn't I in great pain? Blinking, everyone bows, except Dionysus. His eyes were narrowed on me. I glance at Jade whose glare was nastier than before. I had broken her standard. I took her spotlight.

"Tori Vega, daughter of Zeus, king of Olympus, ruler of lightning and the sky," Mr. D introduces me. "Extremely rare for a child of my father, Zeus. No one has ever been claimed like that. Our father must favor you," his voice etched with hardness. "You shall live in Cabin 1." Everyone rises and stares at me in awe. Percy and Annabeth grin at me. They knew I was destined for great things. "Now get back to your songs! Then report back to your cabins," he demands, leaving to the Big House. After he's gone, everyone stares at me and I feel uncomfortable with all the attention. Percy senses my unease with it.

He stands up and claps his hands but it doesn't stop the constant chatter. "HEY!" he yells. Everyone falls into a heavy silence. The son of Poseidon clears his throat awkwardly as he glances down at his girlfriend for help. "Okay, I know we have a child for each of the Big Three here at camp but that doesn't mean our lives change or anything. We're just going to have to get on with our lives! Um, er..." he falters and the blond sighs. She stands up and forces her boyfriend to sit.

"What he's trying to say is that the joining of new demigods doesn't affect who we are. This doesn't affect anything. It means we are stronger now. We are strong half bloods who train to kill monsters. Who are we?" she calls out.

"HALF BLOODS!" the camp cheers. My eyebrows quirk up in amusement. Annabeth was pretty persuasive when she wanted to.

She stands up on a log and wears a confident smile. I already knew we were going to be close friends. "And what do we do?

"KILL MONSTERS!" they holler. Then they break out in applause. After that, they sing a couple of songs and I join in. It was pretty fun. It felt like I actually belong here. It was around ten when we all part and go to our arranged cabins. I have to go back to Cabin 21 to collect my stuff. The walk there was peaceful. Crickets chirping, the trees swaying lightly in the breeze. The night was beautiful. The moon was shining, the stars twinkling. The luscious green grass was crinkling under my footsteps. Cabin 21 comes into view, I pull the door open and cringe at the person. Her intense pale green eyes glare into my hazel ones. Her obsidian black curled hair was matching to the darkness in the room. "Jade," I stammer, "didn't expect you here." Grinning weakly, her gaze intensifies and I shudder.

Off guard, she had me pinned against the wall. I grit my teeth together as she scowls right in my face. "I can't believe you still get to beat me in this! I had the spotlight for one damn minute before you took it from me. Zeus's daughter," she spits at me. A twisted gleam sparkled in her eyes. "Prove it. Prove you're better than me, Vega." The pale girl lets go of me and awaits for my next move. I concentrate and a powerful sensation ripples through my gut. My skin crackles and her eyes widen. Electricity surrounds me, protecting my tan body. My eyes glow into hers. They were radiating with power. It booms with thunder outside. "Impressive, Vega. Bet you can't do this," she boasts, a green fire bursting in her palms. Her eyes were dark with evil power. The ground rumbles and I cut off the electrical border.

Shaking my head, I know this wasn't the use of our powers. "Jade, stop. This isn't the correct use of our potentials. We aren't supposed to kill each other. We're supposed to kill monsters and the evil forces that threaten us." Something flickers in her eyes: Understanding. Picking my supply of clothes and other necessities. "Just grab your stuff and lets go to our designated cabins. Good luck for tomorrow," I hope for her and head to the door. A pale hand curls around my darker wrist and I look back at her. There was a grateful gleam in her eyes, the anger and frustration gone.

"Thanks and I'm sorry for overreacting," she apologizes. I smile daringly and she grins back. There was a moment of silence. But it wasn't awkward, it was comforting. "See you tomorrow, I guess." I nod and walk out the door. The journey back to Cabin 1 was thrilling. Campers were patting me on the back and congratulating me but I just didn't feel it. Guess I was a lousy demigod. All I want to do is grip a sword in my hand. My feet halt to a stop when I meet Mr. D at the entrance of my cabin. Bowing slightly, I blink at him. "Mr. D, sir, what are you doing here?"

He snorts and crosses his arms across his chest. "You got some manners, kid. I like it. Especially since you're in the presence of a god. I am Dionysus, god of wine and insanity," he smirks at his own introduction. "Our father must like you, Ms. Vega. He's got some special plans for you indeed." There was a twinkle in his eyes that said, 'I know something that you don't.' It kind of irks me. "Besides, you are my half sister since your father is Zeus. Welcome to camp, girlie. Enjoy the cabin," he wishes and leaves in a puff of grape vines. The smell of wine was left behind. Stepping inside the cabin, I first notice that it was cold and bare. Everything was white and silvery. There was a couch in the corner and a bathroom but other than that, it was pretty plain. In the cabin, there was three bunks, that meant six beds and two chairs in the opposite corners. There was a great statue in the middle. It was Zeus, standing tall and mighty. A lightning bolt was in his hand. He had electric blue eyes and jet black hair. I didn't have any of those qualities. Jade looks more like my dad but her dad was Hades, my godly uncle. I wonder what it was like up in Mount Olympus, wherever that is.

Dropping my stuff on the couch, I collapse on a lower bunk and fall asleep. Greek gods, heroes, and monsters invade my dreams that night. Would I ever see Hollywood Arts again? What about my family? Am I going to be stuck here forever? I didn't know and I was terrified to find out. I sleep uneasy.

I wake up to a beautiful morning. Sitting up, I rub my eyes while yawning. "Trina, hurry up—" My eyes widen and I falter. Oh yeah, I was in New York now. My family was across the country and there was a three hour difference. Looking around, I seem to remember everything that happened the day before. So I was a half-blood. Raising my index finger, I concentrate really hard and a current of electricity sparks off my finger. I sigh in disappointment and look up at the statue. "It would help if you told me what was going on," I mumble to him. He just stares down on me in utter silence."Thank you O'mighty Zeus," I murmur sarcastically. Getting up, I take a quick shower and put on the orange camp t-shirt with denim shorts that ended at right above my knees. I think today was going to be a hard day. Combing my hair, I check my face and grin. I was ready.

Leaving the cabin, I bump into a redheaded girl. She squeals as we fall over. I groan as I kneel against the rubbly road. "Kit Kat!" I scold. The poor girl giggles and helps me up. She wore the exact clothes except she had a white pair of shorts. "How's the daughter of Demeter?" I ask her as we walk toward the pavilion.

She simply shrugs. "It's been okay. I have some really nice roommates! They showed me how to do this," her fingers curl upwards into her palm and a plant sprouts up from her ground. It was a pink rose. She plucks it from the ground and grins. "It smells amazing! Almost like bibble..." Her mouth waters and we both laugh. Poor Cat. We finally get to the cafeteria when we have to split ways. All campers have to sit at their assigned table. I have to sit alone at Table 1. Percy was close by and I grin at him. He smiles in return and a young woman serves him his breakfast, giggling. Looks like there's many 'Cats' here in camp, I muse. From the corner of my eye, I spot the spawn of death eating alone. Guess it was the same with the three of us. Chiron, in a wheelchair, rolls in and smiles at all of us. He looks in my direction especially. Huh, wonder why. One of those giggling girls comes over to me and serves me a plate of pancakes. I lick my lips in anticipation. She bows at me and smiles. "Good morning, daughter of Zeus," she greets. I smile in return.

"And good morning to you too," I reply nodding. "Thank you for the plate of food. Much appreciated." She giggles and walks away. She really was nice. I was about to dig into my food when a loud noise bangs against the ground. All eyes look up to Chiron.

He smiles and nods at us. "Good morning campers! May the gods be with us!" We all cheer and some kids walk up to a fire in the back of the room. Percy strolls by me with Annabeth close by. He nudges me to follow him.

"What are we doing?" I ask him curiously. All I see is kids giving up the best part of their meal away to the fire. What did it mean?

The green eyed boy smiles. "They're burnt offerings. The gods like the smell. It's like food to them." I nod and I walk up to the fire. I give up the pancake soaked in the most syrup and the juiciest piece of bacon; and plea my father to guide me through camp. The fire burns the pancake and it turns into a sweet smelling fume. Now I believe the gods liked the offerings. Foods that probably weren't supposed to be together were amazing when combined. I sit down at my table and finish my pancakes and bacon. There was an empty cup on the table. Taking it my hands, I wish it was orange juice. The goblet glows and magically, there was orange juice in it. I drink it down thirstily and sigh in relief. That was an amazing breakfast. Too bad I sat alone. Someone pokes my shoulder and I turn around.

Brown eyes meet mine and I burst out in a grin. "Beck!" I squeal. My arms throw themselves around him and he holds me close. I notice that I was receiving unwanted attention to myself and I blush. Letting go of the Canadian, I smile shyly at him. "Hey Beck, how is it being a son of Aphrodite?" He smiles.

"Weird to say the least. Lets say a lot of my half-siblings were crushing on me at first," we both laugh and he gazes into my eyes. I think he still has feelings for me but then there was Jade. One part of my brain said, What about Jade? She's a gank who wasn't his girlfriend anymore and Beck was completely available. But the other part said, Jade's our friend! You can't date your friend's exes. It's against every rule in the book! Gods I'm confused. "How's it like to be daughter of the mighty Zeus?" he interrupts my thoughts.

Blinking hard, I snap out of it. "Oh, it's okay. It's just that, I get a lot of attention. Unwanted attention that is. It's like being a child of the Big Three means you're their boss or something. I bet I'm not even supposed to be alive. It was probably just a mistake," I mumble. He lifts my chin with two fingers and kisses my cheek. Heat rises to my face and I blink twice. "What was that for?" I ask in bewilderment.

"For being amazing," he says nervously. It was the same line he said to me when we were in my house, talking about the Platinum Music Awards. We almost kissed back then too. Beck runs a hand through his hair and gets up from my table. "Guess I better go now. See you around camp, Tori," he leaves back to his table where the kids there are whispering about something. Probably about me and Beck but I don't have any feelings for him. It will stay that way. The end of breakfast came along, and I rise to go to my first class. It was Archery and I saw Andre there. I was about to walk over to him when a hand lands on my shoulder. My body stiffens as I figure out who it is. "Jade?" I ask temptingly.

She chuckles and holds my shoulder tighter. "The one and only badass you know," she boasts. The goth turns me around with sneer on her face. "We need to talk." Her pale hand clutches my wrist and she drags me to the far corner of the pavilion. "I saw what happened," she mutters knowingly.

Shrugging, my shoulders slump. "So? I didn't do anything. Beck just came over and kissed me on the cheek. I don't like him anymore than a friend and you know that. If I did, I probably would've kissed him in front of the whole camp just to prove a pointless point. I didn't so I just have him as a friend. Why do you care anyway? You guys broke up already, like two months ago," I state. My eyes were narrowed at her.

Her eyes widen but then she growls. "I don't care if Beck wants to cuddle up with the daughter of Zeus. That's his choice, not mine!" A light green aura was surrounding her unused hand. Her nostrils were flared in anger. "We broke up for a reason anyway."

"Then why are you still bugging me about it!" I blurt out in agitation. "That's all you think I'd do. Date Beck, kiss Beck, take Beck from you! Well, news flash! I. Don't. Like. Him. He's like a brother to me!" I sneer at her. My emotions were getting the best of me as my skin began to spark. "All I've ever done was try to be your friend! Look where it's gotten me! Detention, problems, fights. I just can't take it anymore! Go fend for yourself," I command through gritted teeth. Turning my back to her, I run to my class and stop at Andre. My anger leaves me and I'm left vulnerable and exposed. He seems to notice and wraps me in a warm hug. I accept it gratefully. "Gods, don't tell me she's staring at me. Is she?" I whisper.

He nods warily. "If her glares could kill you, lets just say its not pretty. What's she so angry about, anyways?" A sigh rattles my body as I let go.

Andre was right. I could definitely feel her intense glare on my back. Demigod or not, I'd be dead a million times over with that intense gaze. Cringing, I lean over a bit. "It's just, Beck kissed me on the cheek and she kind of overreacted. And I think I did too. Our powers were acting badly. Guess our emotions affect them too." He nods and walks up to the shooting range. They hand him a bow and arrow and teach him how to aim and shoot. The musical prodigy takes careful aim and lets the arrow rip through the air. It flies dead in the center. My best friend grins at his accomplishment. Wow, he's good. Well his father is the god of archery but still. He's like a man form of Katniss from The Hunger Games. I love that movie. It's from my favorite trilogy of books.

It was my turn next and I was pretty nervous. I mean, it was a pretty sharp arrow if you ask me. The sun was partly hidden by puffy white clouds making it a beautiful day for training outdoors. Chiron hands me the bow and arrow with a proud smile. He was probably very good with the bow and arrow. From a glance, I could see Jade observing me curiously. My hand grips the bow tightly, the other quivering with the arrow. A voice echoes in my head, 'Relax, concentrate on the target. Slow your rapid breathing. Feel the bow in your hands, don't snap it. The arrow is your friend, it cannot hurt you on purpose.' Immediately, my body relaxes, my heart wasn't pounding in my chest anymore. I hold the bow in a strong but firm hold and let the arrow soar through the sky. It flies and lands right next to Andre's, barely a millimeter apart. The class cheers and Chiron pats me on the shoulder. I look back and witness the goth had disappeared. The rest of the classes went smoothly and I got to see Bolt again. We practically ran to each other during Pegasus Riding. I seem to understand Ancient Greek pretty well. Guess that's my godly blood talking. Making a weapon was complicated and I almost burned my whole arm. Most of my friends were in my classes but unfortunately, Jade was in every single one. She ignored me and I did the same.

"Tori! Keep your guard up!" Percy scolds me as he throws a swing at me with his sword, Riptide. It was a ballpoint pen that transformed into a deadly weapon. I block his attack and slice at his abdomen. At the last minute, he dodges it. Growling, I step side and catch the edge of his blade on the back of mine. His eyes widen. I wasn't supposed to deflect that attack. My wrist twists the sword out of his hands, the point of my blade against his neck. I was breathing heavily and so was he. Percy was surprised and so was everyone else. "Great job, Vega," he breathes. The class gasps as their greatest sword fighter was defeated on their first try. "Could've still beaten you though," he teases with a grin.

Rolling my eyes, I snort and stab my sword into the earthly ground. "Sure you can, Jackson. Be happy I didn't actually hurt you." We smile at each other deviously. Isn't it amazing that even though our fathers argue with each other, we don't. We just like to challenge each other. "You might want to let someone else have a turn," I suggest. No body raises their hands and I chuckle. I hand my sword to a son of Athena while he goes against Jackson. They start to fight and I sigh in relief. Something taps my shoulder and I turn to look around. I grin at the familiar grey eyes and blond hair. "Annabeth. What brings you here?"

She had a tight smile on her face. "Hey Tori. I see you beat my boyfriend in the first time," we both grin as I nod. "Impressive. I just came here to talk to you about something. Did you ever see weird things happening around you when you were back in California?" she questions me. Raising an eyebrow, I remember that clown and some creepy guy always following me.

Nodding, I reply, "Yeah. Why? Did it mean something?"

The blond curses under her breath and shakes her head slightly. "The monsters know you exist. And since you were with Jade, they know that she's here too. You two are in grave danger. You have to train hard because if I'm right, there'll be a lot of fighting going around." My eyebrows scrunch together in confusion. "We'll talk later, I have to go see Chiron now. Enjoy your Free Time. After that is Capture the Flag. That's where the fun starts," she grins evilly before leaving. Scratching the side of my face, I nod. Okay then. A knowing son of Poseidon walks over to me.

"You do know class ended right. Go enjoy your free time before dinner. Then it's Capture The Flag. I can't wait," he grins. I nod but he notices my unease. "What's wrong, Tori?"

Swallowing hard, I just sigh. "Nothing, it's just that Annabeth told me that the monsters know who I am now. Isn't that a bad thing?" I look up at him desperately and he nods slowly.

He takes my hand and smiles. "Lets talk it over at the lake. You'll love it." We stroll to the lake, many kids congratulating us on the sword battle or being a child of the Big Three. Percy just grins and keeps walking. We sit by the sandy shore, light waves crashing on the horizon. "This is where Annabeth and I officially got together. It was after the Titan War. A lot of close demigods were lost but we won in the end." Wow, he's been through a lot. How long has he been here?

Turning my head to him, I ask, "How long have you been in camp?"

"I've been here since I was twelve so about six years now. Went on a quest every year. Back then, it was a miracle that I was alive since the Big Three weren't supposed to have kids. I was considered bad luck since the evil king Titan, Kronos was after me," he concludes. "But he never got me. There were a couple of close calls but we made it through."

"Compared to my life, mine seems like a walk in the park," I joke. We laugh as a gentle breeze blows through our dark hair. "Have you met him? My dad, I mean."

His sea green eyes were glued to the lake. "Yeah, I've meet Lord Zeus. Three times to be exact. He never really liked me. Even though he granted me immortality." My eyes widen and he chuckles at my shocked face. "What? It's no big deal, I turned him down. I just couldn't leave my friends, or Annabeth." I smile at him. He really was something.

"You really are something, Percy Jackson." He grins at the comment. The water looked calm and relaxed. Probably because he was in a good mood today. "Can your emotions affect your godly power?" I puzzle.

There was a pause before he answered. "Yes. If you're angry or frustrated, they'll get out of hand and you can hurt people when you don't intend to. Sometimes fear or panic can make your powers stronger or less controllable. Trust me, I've been through there many times." He curls his finger and a spiral of water curls around in the air. In awe, he flicks his whole wrist and a big stream of water floats around in the air before it falls back down. "Since you're Zeus's kid, I bet you can do that same things Thalia does."

My eyebrows lower against my eyes. "Who's Thalia? Is she like your friend or something?" He smiles genuinely. Percy was really nice and I liked that. Annabeth is a very lucky girl to have him. So loyal and genuine.

"She's a daughter of Zeus, just like you." I blink hard. She's my half sister? "She's your half sister too. Thalia doesn't go to camp because she's a hunter of Artemis. The Hunters of Artemis are immortal girls who hunt and live by the rules of the goddess Artemis. One catch, you can't date boys. You have to vow to stay a maiden forever. She visits sometimes. Maybe you can meet her. She's pretty cool." I nod eagerly. I'd like to meet my half sister soon. I had so much to ask her.

The horn blows overhead and Percy sighs. We both get up from the sandy ground and I stare at him. "Percy, what's your full name?" I ask him unknowingly. His eyes widen as he looks at me with unease. He must know something's up.

"Perseus Jackson," he replies hesitantly. "How did you know that I had more to my name?" A sudden ache spreads in my head as I wince.

Holding my temple, I shake my head, unfortunately it hurts more. "I—I don't know. The question just popped in my head. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable with it. Lets just go to dinner," I murmur. He nods and together, the daughter of Zeus and the son of Poseidon make their way to the pavilion where we give our burnt offerings to the gods and enjoy a good meal served by those women called nymphs. They nod at me as they handed me my food. I was eating chicken and veggies with Coca Cola. Our horse mentor smiles and stomps his food on the ground. All the campers' wander to him. I shove the last piece of chicken into my mouth. What? It was really good.

"Today we play Capture The Flag," he announces, receiving a lot of cheers from the Ares cabin. Now I was terrified. They were bloodthirsty warriors and I think they want to challenge the daughter of Zeus. "Everyone go outside and prepare for the game. Take your weapon and hope for the best." And now I was vulnerable. I only used a sword once and now we were playing a fierce game about it. Keep calm, Tori. Everything will be alright. "May the gods be with you!" he recommends as we all hurry outside to claim our weapons. I catch up with Andre and Beck who both grin at my scared expression. Cat must be with Robbie but I don't see Jade. Wonder where she is. We get to pick our weapons and a blue helmet with a shield. Beck and I both pick out a bronze sword while Andre chooses a dagger. Taking our helmet and shield, we jog up to the big circle where Chiron was speaking. "Alright! Hopefully you have your weapons and are prepared. The rules are no maiming or killing. You may disarm a person but they may not be bounded or gagged. Whichever team reaches the opponents flag first wins. The blue team is Zeus, Demeter, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Apollo, Nemesis, Hypnos, Hades, and Hebe. Red team is Poseidon, Athena, Artemis, Hermes, Dionysus, Ares, Iris, Nike, Tyche, Hecate. You have two minutes to get in position and then the games begin. Good luck." He trots off to the side and I quiver anxiously.

We split up into our two teams and one of the guys from the Hephaestus cabin is giving out some orders but they don't reach me. All I can hear my heart pounding in my ears. "Hey, you Sparky," he calls out as I look up at him. He was one big guy. Maybe the whole cabin looked like him. "You can you lightning, right? Good. Use it to keep Percy away from the creek. It'll just heal him and energize him and we'll be sure to lose. Got it?" I nod and he tells us to get in place. I run to Beck and Andre. The horn rings in my ears and everything plays in slow motion. Kids were getting knocked off their feet, some collapsing with a hard blow and I just stand there like an imbecile. A big guy from the Ares cabin charges at me and something awakens inside of me. Adrenaline was pumping through my veins and I knew I was ready.

Swinging my sword, I catch him off guard with the central ridge of my blade. He trips and falls, a groan coming from him. "Hit and run!" I call behind me with a grin on my face. I run past many attackers but I always knock them off their feet. Light on my feet, I stab this guy in the middle of his breastplate and he falls to the ground. My breathing was hard and heavy but I never felt so alive. Running a little bit longer, I make it to the creek where I see the son of the sea god staring right at me. We both lunge to the creek where I stick my hand in it and fill it up with electricity. Smirking in his face, he frowns and fights off an opposing fighter. Something catches my vision. A big red flag. Before I take it, Beck finally catches up with me.

"Jesus, you're pretty quick for a girl who was scared a minute ago," he jokes. I chuckle but then a girl comes and tackles him to the ground. She was about to harm him when rage courses within me. There's no way they'll land a finger on my friends. With a loud angry war cry, I swung the edge of my blade at her, electricity going through the sword. She falls backwards in pain. Helping the son of Aphrodite up to his feet, he thanks me and I shrug it off. Turning around, I'm met with an all too familiar pair of sea green eyes.

He was gripping his bronze pen-sword. "We might be friends but I'm not going to let you just take the flag that easily." We both smirk and right before I lunge at him, Beck beats me too it. Taking that as my cue, I run towards the flag but an angry chick runs at me. I think it was that mean girl Clarisse from the Ares cabin.

"You're going down into the Underworld, Sparky!" she bellows at me. She makes a mad dash for me as something else tackles her to the ground. It was the black hair with blue and green highlights that jarred me back to reality. Running to the flag, I grip the pole and yank it from the ground. Waving it in the air, the blue team cheers. I was breathing hard as I stumble down the hill where the red flag was. It shimmers blue as I wave it around. I run into the girl with the obsidian black hair with green and blue streaks. "Thanks Jade."

She nods and wipes her mouth as she disappears into the crowd of demigods. What was up with that? I thought she hated me. Andre makes his way to me and pats me on the back. "You go girl!" he chants.

Chiron makes it to me and lifts my hand in the air. "And the blue team wins!" he declares. They chant, 'SPARKY! SPARKY! SPARKY!' out loud. I smile and wave the flag around. It was really late outside so I think it might be time to crash and end another day here at camp if I say so myself. "Alright! Settle down! Tori Vega here has won the game for her team so congratulate her another time. It is late out so its best if you go back to your cabins to sleep. Tomorrow's another day so you need to rest up! You may go now!" A big crowd of campers, including myself, make it to the Omega shape of cabins and we all split up accordingly. I enter my own cabin and collapse in my bed, still gripping my sword as I fall asleep. Only a pair of lightning blue eyes haunt me in my dreams.
