Okay, the run of a day for me was normally sleep, wakeup, school, computer, sleep again AAND repeat. So far, I really hoped this was the sleep part. I had been taken from school by a group of silver glowing girls with bows, attacked by several things, dragged through a forest, watched my arm get crushed by a giant dog thing, pushed through some barrier to this camp, stared at by a giant half-horse guy and hugged by my long 'lost' adoptive brother. I needed to lay down. Sighing as I carefully jumped onto my new bed with my broken arm, I bured my face in my pillow. It was just too much. Sure I had listened to a goddess talk to my father and watched as Isaac fought off dracnea and I could deal with knowing Greek Mythology was real, but learning I was like Isaac? It was too crazy for my liking. (For info on what Alice is talking about, click this for her bio.) |

I had been walking past the Demeter cabin, on my way to mine. Then I heard the crying, and I knew I just had to look. So I did. I stopped next to the cabin door, which was decorated with vines and flowers. I pressed my ear against the door. A girl. I stepped back to look at the door, hesitating. Should I do this? Should I knock? Maybe having someone see her cry would make it worse. Maybe she wanted to be alone. Before I could think about it, I knocked on the door softly. I mentally cursed myself. Why had I done that? But I had already did it. So I just stood there hesitantly, waiting for a reaction.

Sitting up, I wiped my face of any tear, the only sign I had been crying was the red around my eyes and the probably pitiful looking traces down my face from the tears themselves, huh. It was like I was allergic to my own crying.
Crying wouldn't do any good, I had learned that a long time ago, so why was I doing it now? Before I could answer myself in my head, I heard a light tapping on the door, doing a check for tears on my face again with the palm of my hand, I got up and walked over to the door, opening it just enough for someone to step in. Peeking my head out, I saw a girl, smiling sheepishly, I brought my hand up and waved. "Hi..." I said quietly.

There were red spots around her eyes. Yep, this was her. I smiled warmly at her, trying to make her feel welcome. "Hi," I said brightly. "Do you mind if I come in?"

I shrugged. "Not at all." I smiled back at her. Well, people here sure were a lot nicer on the Hunters, they always bossed you around, I felt.

I smiled and stepped into the cabin. "Nice cabin." I looked around, breathing in the scent of the flowers. I liked the Demeter cabin because it smelled like nature. Like the forest.
I dropped my green gaze to Alice. "What's your name? I'm Caroline Miller."

"Thanks." I also looked around the cabin, I hadn't really paid that much attention to anything... It was really nice. Plants everywhere, the smell of nature, a lot of different kinds of flowers, all of which were beautiful... This was my type of cabin, but none the less, I still missed home and the normality of it.
"I'm Alice Delton. Nice to meet you." I smiled at her. "Who's your parent?" I tilted my head in the slightest, questioningly.

"Neptune," I replied, then added quickly, "I'm from the Roman Camp. Um, Poseidon, right?"

I bit my lip. I knew nothing of Roman mythology, Greek was my thing. "Um... Pretty sure." I nodded. "So... What's the Roman Camp like?"

I shrugged. "Eh, there's not much different, except for the Wolf House."

"What's the Wolf House?" I asked, slightly confused, I had never heard about a Wolf House before, but when I thought about it, I didn't know I was a demigod either before I came here.

"In the roman camp, you do a test before you can get accepted. Lupa lives in the Wolf House. She's the head of the camp. She's a Wolf. It's like Mr.D's in charge of here."

Shadows seeped through the cracks of the ground and floated over Leon's bed. It slowly formed and Leon was siting in its place. " So erm is this the new child o Demeter? I rushed over here to see if it was a boy. Guess I was wrong." He sighed

"Ohh." I nodded in understanding at what Caroline said before jumping as a boy appeared on a bed, turning around, I raised an eyebrow. "Uh... Hi...?" I said, lifting my hand to wave a little... What was with me and waving? Gods, I needed to stop doing that.

I smiled at Leon and looked at Caroline. "I dunno really... Still a bit traumatized from Artemis' Hunters... Gods, they were bossy..." I sighed. "And I still can't find my brother. Have either of you met an Athena kid named Isaac? About 5'5, always looks like he was just mugged no mattered how he's dressed?" I giggled at the the way I kept a straight face as I said that. Well, I guess I didn't keep a straight face anymore.

I thought for a while, then shrugged. "Athena kid who always dresses like he was mugged?" Amusement crept into my eyes. "Isaac? No, I haven't seen him. Then again, I'm new to this Greek camp, so..."
