The blonde girl only looked up from her book when Phoebe reached her.

"Aren't you supposed to still be with them?" She asked . Phoebe laughed.

"Nah, Chiron got rid of me, told me to find the boy a spot here."

She pointed at the door of the cabin.

The blonde laughed, though Phoebe couldn't help but notice a hint of pity in it , so small she thought she might have imagined it .

"Well, good luck with that."

Phoebe snorted. "Thanks, I'll need it."

The blonde went back to her book and Phoebe entered the cabin.

As soon as she passed the doorway , Phoebe felt a sudden wave of warmth wash over her , but it wasn't only due to the overcrowding in the cabin.

There was a feeling that only the Hermes cabin gave her.  That regular old summer camp cabin with its worn down threshold , peeling brown paint and overcrowded dorms with way more people than bunk beds.

A sense of belonging.

Don't get her wrong, she loved camp half-blood ; it was the only place where she felt safe and at ease , it was home to her . But even there they were misfits: the unclaimed , the kids of minor gods - They had friends and were loved for sure but they didn't have their table , their siblings, their own cabin...

Something to call theirs.

But at least they had each other . And maybe that was something too .

She tiptoed her way in the cabin looking for the familiar blonde boy, careful not to step on other people's sleeping bags or clothes, which was hard considering they were spread all over the floor .

She found him sitting on his bed , looking at some sort of jewelry in his hand .

"Hey Luke!" He jumped, startled . As soon as she spoke his name he dropped what was in his hand , trying to hide it . Needless to say this was very unusual behavior for the son of Hermes .

Luke looked up at her and smiled; now that was more like him .

"Aren't you supposed to still be at your card game with Chiron?" He asked.

The daughter of Hecate sighed. "Nope. There has been a slight change of plans and now I'm supposed to find a place here for some new kid."

Luke winced a little. "A new camper? In our cabin?"

"Yup. I think there's still a spot near my bed. Do you think there's still some sleeping bags left for him?"

He frowned "I don't know I'll see if Travis can steal any- Wait a new camper ? Are the rumors true?" He said , eyebrows raised as if realization suddenly dawned on him .

Phoebe smiled , amused by the thought of the little scrawny boy .

"You bet your ass they are."

As soon as she finished her sentence, they heard a knock on the door . They all turned around to find Percy, the blonde girl and Chiron standing on their porch . Chiron didn't go in, the door being too low for him . But all the kids in the cabin bowed respectfully as soon as they saw him .

"Annabeth, Phoebe," Chiron said, "I have a masters' archery class at noon. Would you girls take Percy from here?"

"Yes, sir"

"Sure thing, boss"

"Well, then," Chiron said. "Good luck, Percy. I'll see you at dinner."

The centaur then galloped away towards the archery range. Percy stood in the doorway , looking at the kids , they weren't bowing anymore. They were staring at him like he was the weirdest thing they've ever encountered.
