Slightly lost
When I woke up the next morning, it took me some time to realize where I was. The realization that my parents still didn't know where I had gone made me sit up in the bed so fast that I bumped my head on the top bunk. Even though it felt like it was still quite early, there was no way that I could go to sleep again.
After I put on some clothes again, I stepped from behind the curtain that sectioned off a part of the cabin. Percy had been really surprised to find that not only had there appeared a curtain, in the back of the cabin was now a small bathroom. Apparantly His - my- father had thought about me.
Percy was still fast asleep, drooling slightly. I considered whether I knew him well enough to wake him up, and decided against it. He looked so peaceful.
As I closed the door of the cabin behind me, I panicked slightly. I knew close to no one here, and I did not at all know my way around. Aloisyus had shown me around, of course, but I had no sense of direction at all. I luckily saw one of the people Percy had introduced me to yesterday. Um, Piper, or something like that. Daughter of Aphrodite.
I shot towards her quickly, and asked her, 'Do you have a phone I could borrow for a moment?' She looked surprised, but smiled kindly at me. 'No, I'm sorry, I don't have one. I believe Annabeth has one, and maybe some of the satyrs.'
Annabeth was Percy's girlfriend, and I would feel awkward asking her for a favor. Maybe Aloisyus had one. 'Do you know where Aloisyus is?' I asked her, and tried to return her smile, even though I was pretty stressed out.
'Um, I think I saw him walking towards the Big House, but that was like half an hour ago.' It wasn't much, but it was a start.
'Thank you so much.' I said, already half running towards the house.
'Aloisyus?' I called, as I stepped up the porch.
'Sssh girl, you wanna wake up the entire camp?' The man in the leopard T-shirt came out of the house, looking annoyed.
'Mr.-Mr. D.' I stammered, startled by his appearance. 'Have you perhaps seen Aloisyus?'
'Well, yes, he was here, but then he ran off again. Ask someone else.' And with that, he turned around and went inside again.
