Percy Jackson. I didn't understand him. We started spending a lot of time together. I felt sort of...drawn to him. He was the first person I've felt close to here at camp. I didn't know what was going on, and it was hard for me to try and figure it out. It's always hard for me to get close to people because of my parentage. Poseidon. Most people are scared to be around me because I could kill them. My powers are like that.

"So, what does P.J. stand for?" Percy asked.

I looked at him for a moment. "Payton Jamie."

He looked startled for a moment. I didn't know what was going through his mind and it was killing me. He starred at me with this intensity, I thought he as boring holes into my head, trying to look inside my mind.

"What is it?" I asked, wanting him to stop looking at me like that.

"I had a twin sister. Her name was Payton Jamie too. It must be a coincidence, though." he said, looking back at the water of the lake. I looked at him a moment. "Do you remember your family?"

"Wha?" I said, taken aback for a moment. "N-no. Not well."

"What do you remember?"

"I had a twin brother. He had black hair and sea green eyes, but I don't remember his name." I said. "And a mom."

"Do you miss them?" Percy asked me, still just starring at the lake surface.

"I-" I began. "Yes. Always."

"Percy! P.J.!" someone called behind us. I turned and saw Grover trotting up to us. I smiled a little. I've known him for a while and now that Percy came, we've been hanging out more.

"Hey, Grover." Percy said with a smile.

Grover stopped for a moment, a startled look on his face. "Jeez, it still freaks me out how much you two look alike."

I look at Percy as he looks at me. I get a clear picture of my brother in my mind and think about it a moment. Same black hair, same green eyes. His nose is the same too. And his smile. He can't really be him though. Can he?

"Really?" Percy asked. "You think?"

"Yeah." Grover nods. "Anyway, it's dinnertime, so come on."

Then, in the distance, the conch horn blows. I get up with Percy and we head to the dinning pavilion. Percy headed over to the Hermes table while I go to sit at the Poseidon table by myself.

I put some food on my plate, then take it up to the fire. I scrape some grilled chicken into the flames. "Poseidon." I say under my breath to the golden flames.

After dinner, there was capture the flag. I hadn't make any alliances with anyone because everyone aviods me. Although, Annabeth had said that she would put me on her team if I wanted. They could use my powers and Annabeth was one of the only people in the whole camp who wasn't scared of me. I politely declined because I did enjoy helping Chiron as battle field medic.

I put on my armor, which appeared in front of me where my food used to be. Chiron came up to me.

"You may go and get your horse, my dear." he said. I nodded and left the pavilion before everyone else. I knew Chiron wouldn't start the game until all players were ready and I was still considered a player.

At the stables, I got my horse from his stall. He was a tall bay mustang named Brego. Yes, I was a Lord of the Rings fan. I saddled him up and put on his bridle.

Capture the flag night? Brego asked me.

"Yep." I said, leading him out of the stables. "Let's get going."

I climbed up on Brego's back and cantered back to the dinning pavilion. When Chiron saw me, he hushed the campers. "Payton and myself will serve as battle field medics. To the woods!"

The campers all cheered and went to their respective starting spots on the field. Brego and I cantered into the woods near the blue's side and waited. The conch horn blew and the game commensed. I trotted Brego up and down the border at the stream since I knew that was where anyone would cross.

I didn't have to do much. Mostly, there wasn't much to do as a battle field medic because people were careful enough not to hurt each other too badly during these. On the border, I saw Percy standing and watching. I went up to him.

"Border patrol?" I asked him. He nodded. I sighed and backed Brego up a bit, meaning to head off. Four Ares kids jumped out of the bushes at Percy.

"Hey, P.J. Looking out for your little friend here?" Clarisse said smugly.

"Stuff it, Clarisse." I said. I turned Brego around and headed off down the stream, trying to remember that I had to keep an eye on the other campers as well.

I heard a low growling sound. I yanked back on Brego's reins.

Woah, what was that for, Pay? Brego asked. I didn't answer. I just sat and listened.

"Brego? Do you hear that?" I asked my horse. Brego's ears pricked forwards and to the sides.

Whatever it was, it's gone Pay. Don't worry about it.

He was probably right. I urged him forward and headed back off.

A few minutes later, there was shouting. I headed back to it. I saw kids leaping over the stream. Luke was carrying the Ares flag. I clapped and cheered with everyone else.

The growling came back. Oh, gods.

"Brego, there it is again." I said nervously.

I heard it this time too.

A hell hound jumped out of the bushes at Percy. Brego was startled at the sight of the hell hound and reared up, throwing me from his back. I hit the ground hard, my head slamming against a rock. My vision went fuzzy and I couldn't think straight.

Hold on, Payton. He needs you.

I thought someone had actually said that for a moment. Then I realized it was in my head. I figured it must have been Brego but it was different. It didn't sound ike Brego.

The last thing I remembered before blackness clouded my vision was a swirling green circle of light with a trident symbol in the middle.

Notes

I hope I didn't spell Clarisse wrong, but I probably did. Sorry about that. Anyway, thank you for reading. ;D
