Chapter Two of the Twin Seas - My to-do list is met

Having your best friend stabbed really putts a downer on your day. The boy who had saved us was called nico, and after he, um, teleported us to america  he collapsed. Great I though. Today had been great, everything on my to-do list had been done -

Nearly get killed -check

Get tackled by a friend - check

Get saved by arrows that went in circles - check

Have my saviour pass out and leave me with someone who had just kissed me and a friend that had a knife sticking out of his chest -check.

"Help!" I screamed and looked up. Great, that's another thing that's going to kill us, there was a horse falling from the sky, but as it got nearer I realised that it was a teenage woman on a flying horse. Ok, I really am going crazy I thought.

" Do you see that too?" Georgina asked with a worried look on her face.

"Yup, unless we're both going crazy"

Right then the woman on the flying horse landed and dismounted.

"Hello" she said " Ah I see nico brought you here, good good. Anyway, my name is Reyna, praetor of the twelfth legion. I don't suppose any of you know who your descended from?"

Before we could answer se said "no I dont suppose you do"

"Ugh". Nico grunted. He got up and Reyna cought him before he could fall again. "Tall one...son...Neptune"

I supposed he was talking about me, I was pretty tall at 6ft for a 14 yr old, but if my dad was called Neptune then he must have been a very dedicated history teacher.

"What?" was all Reyna said before she snarled at me "As if we need more bad luck"

Oh great, I'm bad luck I thought.

"Take...Percy...talk...me sleep" and with that he collapsed and started snoring.

"Um, is he going to be ok?" Georgina asked.

"He'll be fine"she said, then noticed Gregor "oh, what happened to him?"

"What's it look like" I said angrily. Gregor was still slumped over my shoulder with a blood stained shirt.

"You", she pointed at Georgina "take him across the field on skippy,that's the Pegasus by the way, and yell for a healer"

I started to go with Georgina but Reyna grabbed my shoulder "I want to talk to you"

I looked at georgina but she only nodded and took Gregor from me.

Once they were gone Reyna told me to walk and talk about what had happened. On the way back I explained it all which made me forget how long we were walking for. It was good to talk to someone about what had happened and for them to listen. When we got to the edge of the field I saw a huge city,no, a camp. There were some of the most beautiful buildings I had ever seen.

"Welcome to Camp Jupiter"
