Luke's Point of view

It had been a couple of days since I first came to camp half blood. So far I am enjoying it, I've known about the gods and the camps for a while and I had wondered what camp would be like. Now I know that it is rather fun, it's not just training training training and more training, most of the camp activities are fun and honestly I seem to be pretty good at most of them so far.

Durring a break between activities I headed down to the beach. When I got there I wasn't entirely surprised that it was already occupied, I saw a girl with long black hair, whose back was to me, and a man who except for his choice of clothing reminded me of my dad only older, and this man had a beard while my dad doesn't. After thinking for a minute I thought, could this man be my grandfather?

I got my answer when he noticed me and spoke, he said, "You can come here grandson, we don't bite,"

He was obviously teasing me and His words made the girl realise I was there and she glanced in my direction. I saw she had the same sea green eyes that I and my father have, and I could only assume my father had gotten them from his father since it was obvious that Poseidon had them as well since I now knew that the man in front of me was my grandfather. It seemed that I was the oddball of our group since I had my mother's blond hair instead of the black hair that they had.

I headed toward them blushing a bit embarrassed that I had just been standing thare basically staring at them as I tried to figure out who they were. I also guessed that the girl was probably my half sister. I'd seen her before at mealtimes or the campfire and sometimes noticed her when she was training but we hadn't actually spoken yet. I wasn't quite sure what to say to start a conversation. Finally we started talking and we got to know each other better.

For as long as I could remember I'd wondered who my father was and what he was like, now I was finally getting to know him and now my half sister and grandfather as well. I am enjoying camp so far although I will probably go back to school in the fall. It seemed Like I would be able to use just about any weapon as long as I trained enough.

As much as it would be nice if my parents got back together it was Pretty obvious that wasn't going to happen. I knew my mom was trying to get my dad to take her baack but I was pretty sure that was a lost cause, it was obvious that my dad wasn't interested in taking her back, not to mention that I'd heard he was already with someone else and that someone else was the goddess of love and beauty.

Since I came to camp some of the other campers have told me the stories of some of the quests my parents went on, my mom had never been able to bring herself to tell me since she had always found it hard to talk about my dad and all the quests she went on had also included him. It was obvious that they had both done a lot for the gods and some of the things they did must have been really difficult.

My Grandfather and sister seemed nice enough after I talked to them for a little while, they both seemed to be pretty easygoing people, but Silena seemed the most talkative. I think my dad is planning on taking me to meet my grandmother sooner or later and based on what Silena and my dad have said it sounds like she's really nice.

I have never really had to face too many monsters before now, my mom would always protect me from them since she hadn't started to train me. I was usually able to see the monsters I'd just never had to fight them before. At least now if I ever run into a monster when she's not there I would probably be able to handle it.

Both of my parents had hinted at the fact that I probably also have some powers from my father, although my dad hadn't really tried to train me with those yet. Since I can read more easily than my parents and Silena can I tend to read a lot, and school has never been all that difficult for me. most of the other kids there consider me a nerd even though I don't completely fit the stereotype. Overall my life has been pretty good comapred to what some of the other kids at camp have had to deal with so really I can't complain.

Silena's point of view

After I finished talking to Luke and my grandfather I left the beach and started heading toward my next class when I heard the camp's Alarm horns blare and I was also pretty sure I heard a scream. Despite my inexperience I started heading toward Half Blood Hill. When I got close enough to see what was going on I realized that there was a girl around my age who had managed to get over the boundry but instead of heading down into camp she was sitting on the ground crying, and she was holding what was obviously some kind of plant in her hands.

While she was doing that there were a couple other demigods who had made it to the hill before me fighting the monsters that had obviously been chasing her. I saw that the other demigods seemed to have the situation under control so I decided I would try to talk to her and take her to the infirmary I could see that she had a cut on her arm that would need to be taken care of.

I didn't understand why she was so upset or why she was clutching that plant like she would never let it go. I did my best to comfort her and she eventually got her tears under control. I convinced her to come with me to the infirmary so her injuries could be taken care of. She told me that her name was jenifer and that she already knew about the gods and that she was a demigod. About the only thing she didn't know was who her mother was.

After one of the Apollo campers tended to her injuries we went to speak to Chiron. He was in the big house speaking to a satyr that I recognized. The satyr was my dad's friend Grover. As Jenifer told the three of us her story she said that a satyr had found her and had been helping her get here. She was from Kansas and they had made it most of the way here before they ran into a large group of monsters and her satayr, who she had become quite close friends with, had been killed as they were trying to fight of the last of the monsters on Half Blood Hill.

At that point based on what she, Chiron and Grover had said I understood why she was so upset. I was also a little confused, based on what Chiron and Grover said it sounded like Satyrs become plants after they die. That would explain why she was carrying that plant but if that is the case I guess that's just one more weird thing to add to my list of weird things that have happened since I came here.

Jenifer Reluctantly handed the Plant Over to Grover and I think he was going to inform the satyr's family of what happened. Despite the fact that I was almost as new as she was I showed Jenifer Around. Jenifer had Brown hair and green eyes unlike mine her eyes were closer to the colour of grass or maybe tree leaves. She'd said that she had lived on a farm with her dad, her stepmom, and her stepbrother.

I did my best to explain the few things she didn't already know, I guess her Satyr had already told her almost everything before they made it here. She seemed to take an immediate liking to the Pegasi since she said her family had horses and they were one of her favourite animals. Seeing the Pegasi seemed to brighten her mood a bit and while we were in the stables I accidentally revealed the fact that I can talk to the pegasi when I started talking to blackjack.

Thankfully she didn't look at me like I was some kind of freak. I guess she had already accepted the weirdness that comes with being a demigod. My dad may be Blackjack's favourite but he doesn't have anything against me either. In adittion to that one of the few female Pegasi that the camp has seems to have taken a liking to me as well.

After we finished with the pegasi I finished showing her around and left her at the Hermes Cabin, even though I hadn't been at camp all that long I'd already come up with a guess of who her mother was based on some of the other campers I'd met here. I felt sorry for her since she'd lost someone she was close to, I couldn't exactly sympathize with her since I'd never had to lose anyone I cared about.

Despite that I would try and help her come to terms with what had happened and maybe we would become friends. I went off to my next activity and when it was time for dinner I guessed that Jenifer would probably be claimed, or at least that was when I had been claimed. I couldn't help but be curious about whether my suspicions about who Jenifer's mom was would be right.

I soon found out the answer to that during dinner when an image of a scythe appeared above her head while she seemed to have a green glow around her. Chiron announced that she was a daughter of demeter before the sign and glow eventually faded. I could see that she wasn't entirely comfortable with all the attention she got at that moment, and I also noticed that she wasn't really taking part in the campfire either.

I didn't really blame her, she'd just lost a close friend so I doubt she was really in the mood to take part in the sing along. I noticed that one of her older half siblings started talking to her so maybe she was getting the help she needed. I knew that there was going to be a capture the flag game on Friday and I knew that my cabin would be playing. I thought I would do pretty well considering that I had played before but still I'm not sure how it will go.
