There was a flash of color as the blonde girl whipped through the trees. The series of roars behind her told her that she was still being followed by the... creature. Every once and a while, she would take a sharp turn in hopes of distracting the monster. Her plan seemed to be working for a while, until she reached the end of the forest. Not many hiding places here. She rolled her eyes and kept running, still managing to keep a safe distance from the thing. Thankfully, she had always been pretty fast. If it weren't for that skill, she'd probably be dead by now. But this thing wasn't a normal animal. It was fast- incredibly fast. And in a few seconds, it would finally reach her. And it didn't seem in the mood for any sort of friendly talk. She pushed the thoughts away and kept running. She would hold on as long as she could. But, just as she thought she might actually have a chance of surviving, she tripped on a tree root jutting out of the ground. She muttered a soft curse under her breath as she smacked the ground. She scrambled to her feet to face the monster, but realized it had stopped. It stood, kicking at the dirt angrily about 20 feet away. Eventually, it turned and ran. She blinked. What the heck? She then turned around and found an even more astonishing sight. Where moments ago there had been nothing but strawberry fields, there was now a huge sort of town thingy. She stood, putting the pieces together. Somehow, there must have been some sort of... shield... that hid this place. And maybe only humans could get through. She continued staring at it, her blue eyes wide.

Cleo (who always seems to find new campers) was walking outside when she stumbled upon the sight of a girl not far away. She was staring straight at the camp and she seemed confused. Probably a new camper, Cleo thought. She ran down to her side to see if she was ok. "Hello. Are you alright?"

She had been so caught up in trying to think of how this was possible that she didn't notice Cleo until the girl was right next to her. "Yeah, I'm fine," she said, looking back. Yup. The monster was still gone. "Um... where am I?"

Cleo gave a half-hearted laugh. "Well, you've made it to Camp Half-Blood. It's a little hard to explain, but I have the time." She offered a hand as she got up.

"Camp Half-Blood?" she asked. That name sounded weirdly familiar...

"Yes, Camp Half-Blood, the camp for demi-gods."

Ok. This was starting to get sort of weird. She knew enough greek mythology to understand what a demigod meant. "You mean... my dad is a god?"

Cleo smiled. "Well, if you're sure your mom isn't a god, then yes, I suppose your dad would have to be. My father is a god as well."

She nodded slowly. "Ok," she said, "so how do I know who he is?"

"So," Cleo started, "Your godly parent has to claim you. This can be a small gesture, such as a symbol floating above your head, representing a god. Or, they can make it big so the whole camp knows that you belong to them. Many people are claimed during campfire. We're having one tonight and we might make it there if we start going now." she said, asking with her eyes if the girl would like to go.

"Oh," she said, half disappointed that she couldn't find out right away, half excited for the campfire. "Who's your parent?"

Cleo gave a half smile. "Hades. But don't worry," she said, hastily, "I'm not goth or emo and I hope I'm not mean. I try my very best."

She grinned. "Got it," she said. Then she remembered something. "I'm such an idiot," she said, rolling her eyes at herself, "I forgot to ask- what's your name?"

"Oh, haha." Cleo said, laughing, "I'm Cleo. What's your name?"

Sarah jogged up next to Cleo and looked at the new girl, offering a small smile.
