The Daughter of Poseidon || Percy Jackson

"I have gathered you here to discuss a new camper. Seeing as she's under 10 we need to select a guardian for her. If you don't know what that is, when a camper is under 10 years of age and older camper is selected to help them, making sure that they get settled and just be a friend." Chiron said while glancing at the candidates he selected.

Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, 12 years old, 5 years at camp half blood, very smart. She also had a guardian when she first joined.

Luke Castellan, 19 years old, 5 years at camp half blood, empathetic.

Clarisse la rue, 14 years old, 6 years at camp half blood, had a guardian when she first joined, strong willed.

Chiron glanced at the candidates, before saying "..Luke, Annabeth you are excused."

He watched as the two walked away before turning to clarisse "I chose you, because you would know best what it's like to be in this situation. You are also older than Annabeth therefore you have more responsibility. Her name is Charity-Grace Jackson. But from what I heard people call her Guppy. She's six years old. Collect her once she's woken and show her around."

"Yes Chiron." She answered blandly before turning and walking away.

The youngest Jackson sat up with a gasp, noticing she wasn't in the car anymore.

She looked around and saw her brother's dirty blonde hair her nerves calmed.

Her head was aching but she noticed a bottle of water.

She hesitantly grabbed the bottle. Taking sips of water. Once she wasn't thirsty she gently placed the bottle down and made her way to her brother's bed. But to her confused dismay he was sleeping.

She heard the door open with a click and quickly turned to the door. A tall girl with dark curled that matched her eyes walked in. She had an emotionless face as she approached the girl.

"Hi." She said quietly to the little girl, almost as if she didn't know what to say.

"Hi." Guppy responded back.

"..My name is Clarisse. Do you know where you are?" Clarisse asked her. Getting small 'no' in response from the six year old.

"Well. I'm assuming you know you're a half blood." She said awkwardly, she didn't want to just dump lots of information on the girl and scare her. Although guppy did give a nod in return.

"We're at camp half blood. Basically a sanctuary for Demi-Gods like me and you." She said crouching down to the girls level.

"I heard your name is Guppy?" Clarisse asked as if to confirm it.

"It's not my real name but that's what my mama calls me." Guppy responded innocently with a nod.

"Okay. So you know my name. Yes. Okay. So next. Uhhh. Oh yeah. Well I'm your guardian. Basically I look after you and make sure you don't get in trouble." Clarisse said awkwardly trying to think of what to say. She clearly didn't know what she was doing.

" Uhh. Come let me show you around." She said holding her hand out to the young girl.

The two walked around together, Clarisse still holding the anxious young girls hand, glaring at anyone who dared to look at her.

"So here is where we do archery. You're a little small for the bows we have but I'm sure if you want to try it someone would help you. People are very generous with little people like you." She explained while dragging the girl along.
