Leah sat next to David in the woods, over looking the Big House. The sun was bright, crickets chirped and monsters made sounds in the distance.

"So, " Leah looked at her boyfriend, "you've moved out of the Hermes Cabin?" Rachel crossed her legs.

"Yeah." He wrapped his arms around his knees. "I'm a Hephaestus kid now." He smiled. David had been in Cabin 11 for a year, until he had been claimed during Capture the Flag, two nights before.

"Cool. Are they nice? I've never talked to them." She pulled her dark brown hair to one side.

"I think so. They welcomed me and told me to get settled and feel right at home."

"Do you feel a home?" She watched as a squirrel ran up a tree.

"Yeah, a little. I'd just started getting comfortable in the Hermes Cabin." He stretched out his legs and lay on the leafy ground, gazing at the treetops. "But, what's the Demeter Cabin like for you? Do you feel at home there?" He scratched his head, ruffing his brown hair. Leah shrugged. He pulled her closer. Leah had been really down ever since her best friend Kate had gone missing on a quest for a rogue Cyclops, earlier that week.

"Hey, we'll find her." He said, adjusting his glasses. He sat up beside her, leaning closer for a kiss. Suddenly, they were drenched in water. Their friends Matt and Jessie stood above them, laughing.

"We got you good, man!" Jessie, a 14-year-old daughter of Athena that David had met when he came to camp. she'd been at Camp since she was eight and became a year-rounder when she was ten, when her dad joined the military, Her gold-blonde hair was tied in a braid and held back by a green bandana. The sleeves of her white and black shirt that said 3DG, were rolled up to her elbows and her denim caprees were worn down and ripped on one knee. She high-fived Matt, my best friend. His shorts were soaked, matching his blue tee-shirt. His black sneakers squished when he shifted and his hair was parted in different ways.

"That's for catapulting me into the Sound."
