Calliste was woken up by a dark haired boy with sea green eyes. He was staring at her probably wondering why it took her so long to wake up.
“Finally, you’re awake.” The boy said. He looked like he was around seventeen years old.
"Who are you?” I asked as I rubbed my temples. How long was I out? I wondered
"You should get some rest. I’m Percy Jackson and you are?" He asked me
"I'm Calliste Vernon." I said as he offered me a glass of something that looked like blended cupcakes and milk chocolate.
"What is this?" I pointed at the now empty class. It tasted just like the chocolate cupcakes my nanny gave me when I was 10.
"Its nectar. It’s supposed to appear as your favorite food. I should leave you now since you already woke up. Chiron, our camp activities director would like to speak to you and your friends later." He said as he closed the door
After awhile I had enough strength to walk and get out of the cabin. I saw Grover and a small girl with amber hair and a light green glow on her skin. Must be his girlfriend I thought. I approached them and waved.
"Hi Grover!!" I said as I caught him blushing
"You must be Grover's girlfriend! I'm Calliste" I said “Grover tells me about you all the day. I taught he was just exaggerating but you really are pretty.
"Thanks! I’m Juniper by the way" She blushed
"Do you know where Chiron is? I was told that he wants to talk to me." I told her
"He's in the Big House just turn right over there" she pointed
I thanked her and followed her directions and I saw an old guy talking to Tabitha and Ella. He must be Chiron I thought. I got closer and his appearance changed the old forty year old guy I saw turned into a centaur: half man and half horse. I blinked twice at looked at him again. He was still a centaur. I must have hit my head before I fell. He approached me and said
“You must be Calliste. You and your friends need to stay here though 1 of them is mortal"
"I don't understand." I told him
"You know about Greek Mythology right? Gods, goddesses, nymphs, satyrs and the like"
"Like Zeus, the Fates and Hercules..... Yeah we studied about them in class"
"Well they're real. One of your parents is a god since you were able to pass the barrier."
"Really!!! So I'll get to see who my father is?" I answered enthusiastically. I never really met my father. He left before I was born. I know most people would be mad if that happened but I understand him. He probably spent little time with her. I only get to see my mom around 3 times a week because she is so busy with her work.
My mom told me that she and my dad met at her office after her meeting. “He was the most beautiful person that I have ever seen in my entire life.” My mom would gush every time she talked about dad.
"If go on a quest you might bump into him.” Chiron answered
"You said one of my friends is a mortal. I don't get you. I’m mortal. Are you mortal?"
"Tabitha is the girl with red hair and brown eyes right?"
"Yeah"
"She is mortal but Annabeth granted her entry to the boundary that protects us from monster attacks."
"But will she stay with us?"
"That depends if the Hunters of Artemis are still recruiting she could join them."
