Lauren lead me out of the cabin. We walked in silence to the Archery range. I walked in, fallowing Lauren. There were CEASE FIRES throughout the range. I walked with proud to an empty lane. Everyone's eyes were on me. I pulled my arm back, and lined up the scopes. I breathed in. As I exhaled, I let go of the arrow. i heard it soar through the air. There was a thunk when it hit the target. Before I even pulled my bow down, there were gasps across the quiet range. I looked down range, as my eyes adjusted.
"Woah! The new girl just got a bullseye!" some kid down range from me. I looked through my scopes to get a better look. A little to the left. It wasn't perfect. So I pulled back, lined up my scopes, breathed in, exhaled, and released.
"Another one?" the same kind yelled.
I had been doing this since I was 3. I now understand why my father started me so early.
I popped a few more bullseye, purposely putting them in different spots.
A crowd had gathered around me. A kid stepped forward.
He was short and had a scrunched up face. he scowled at me.
"My name is Michael Yew and I challenge you to a duel," he said.
We replaced the target with a clean one.
"Ladies first," he said as he gestured.
I stepped forward. I pulled, lined, breathed, exhaled, and released.
Bullseye.
"Good luck," I said as I walked proudly towards the stunned crowd, and over to Lauren.
"Micheal Yew is the best archer at camp. His father is Apollo, Artemis' twin," Lauren whispered in my ear, as Michael took his first shot.
His shot was just a tad shy of hitting mine. Pretty good I thought, but he's going to have to do better than that to beat me.
I stepped forward. I usually panicked under pressure, but today I felt cool, calm, and collected.
I popped another bullseye, splitting my previous arrow in half.
"Once again, good luck," I said, as I took my place next to Lauren .
She had a smile on her face. I could tell that Michael was nervous. I mean who wouldn't be. A new girl just got claimed by a virgin goddess, and she was on her way to beating the best shot in camp. He released at the wrong time. He released as he was breathing in. His shot flew out of the bullseye, and into the surrounding area.
I could see Michael's face start to bead up with sweat. He brought his bow down. His hands were shaking.
I walked up. I knew that this shot was one I had made at least a hundred times, but I had never had this many kids with their eyes glued to me. I pulled back, and released. I opened my eyes. I had split my second arrow in half.
There was a moment of complete shock. Luke stepped forward. I had forgotten that the Hermes cabin was here.
"Everyone! We have a new camp-best-shot!" Luke yelled.

That question was answered with a splash. The skylight seemed to have broken, and now there was water and tempered glass rushing with the force of a tornado through the house. The water was so strong, the thermostat part where people change the temperature was forced from seventy degrees to sixty-one degrees.
Two more jingling sounds.
Flash flood warning in effect.
High wind watch in effect.
“Ahh!”
The rest of the family didn’t seem to notice much that they were being swept downstairs.
Ellis noticed a piece of paper lying in the raging rapids in their house. He fished it out with his hand and read it. It was his birth certificate.
“What?!” Ellis screamed. It took him three minutes to read the dad part.

Hello. My name is ScienceWolf. I love the Percy Jackson books. I even have my own demi-god. She's a daughter of Zeus ( I made her up). This is my first story in this club btw. Have fun meeting my demi-god self: Kania Lyle.
*My eyes open*
Chiron: Hey, wake up! Come with me. *starts walking away*
Me: *groans and rubs eyes* Who are you?
Chiron: My name is Chiron. Please come with me.
Me: What's going on? What are you doing?
*He takes me to a camp with other people and sits me by a pole*
Boy 1: Hi new camper! I'm Grover!
Girl 1: Hello. I'm Annabeth.
Girl 2: Oh, hey. I'm Clarisse.
Chiron: Follow me.
Me: Okay, what in the world is even going on? Why am I here?
* A boy pushes past Annabeth and looks at me with happy green eyes*
Boy 2: Hi! I'm Percy! I'm son of Poseidon!
Man: Everyone, give Kania some room! Come.
Me thinking: Okay. This is getting weird. Is this some god camp? Is everyone here children to the gods?
Me: PLEASE! TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON?!
