Peter Johnson

NO MIST:

I panted as I arrived at the camp borders my friend Grover had  literally pushed me towards the borders of camp saying that one I crossed it I would no longer be in danger. I frowned wondering what the he meant by that but I didn't question him as I was tired of running and was pretty sure I would going to pass out if I didn't sit down soon

"Peter there look!" Grover blanches 

Looking over to where Grover was looking I see a big house that wasn't there before and adrenaline pushes me forward and I arrive in the Camp, my chest heaving and my lungs gasping for air and stinging as I try to catch my breath I see cabins of all shapes of sizes in a U shape along the sides of the woods 

"Is that a new camper?" I faintly hear a boy with messy black hair and swirling green eyes asks   as he makes his way over to me and rests his hand on my shoulder waiting for me to catch my breath "Yo man are you alright?"

"Yeah" I answer, greedily gulping in air 

When I feel like I have enough breath in me, I straighten up only to see Grover limping over to me goat legs where his legs should be and I find myself blinking a few times but when I stop my friend still has goat legs where his normal legs should be and a realisation hits me This wasn't a dream this is real and my friend is part goat 

"Where am I?" I ask turning to the boy

"A summer Camp that keeps people like us safe and I assume since you managed to cross the boarder that you're one of us" He tells me with a crooked grin as if it explains everything and when I give him a confused look, he sighs and throws an arm around my shoulders patting it as he went "You've heard of the Greek God's yes?"

I nod, I remember learning about them in school

"Well sometimes they come down and uh meet with mortals which sometimes ends up with the God or a Goddess having a child. A half blood or a demigod if you will and this is one of the camps that are safest for people like us. Welcome to Camp Half Blood, I know it can be a lot to take in but stick with me and my friends and I'm sure you'll be fine" He explains to me but before  I could take a minute to process the information I had just been given

"Peter you're okay" Grover sighed in relief "I thought I lost you"

The boy flashed him a grin "Grover it's fine, he's safe thanks to you"

"I was so worried Percy" Grover bleated

"I know" The boy, Percy nods "But you did your job he's safe"

"Not to be rude" I cut in hesitantly running my hands through my messy light brown hair, a habit that I picked up when I was nervous and Grover knew this so he gave me a look concern shining brightly in his eyes  "But I still don't know who you are and I would like to after all you seem nice and all"

"Oh. I'm such a seaweed brain" The guy physically facepalmed before he stuck his head out for me to shake which I took and shook his hand, a small smile appearing on his face and I struck me that he kind of looked like a trouble maker "I'm Percy Jackson. son of Poseidon"

"P-Poseidon?" I stuttered "One of the Big Three? The Sea God"

 "Yeah" He nodded his cheeks, flushing 

"Do you have powers? Like controlling the ocean?" I ask excitedly 

He chuckles but it is kind of weak and now I was the one blushing as I realised that he would most likely get that a question a lot and I open my mouth to apologise when he brushes me off "Yes I have some of my Dad's powers, I can basically control any liquid as well as my ocean based powers"

The way he says it makes it sound like it was a big deal but my eyes still widen as I take a step back shocked but he doesn't seem that bothered as if this was a normal reaction for people to have "Anyway I never really got properly introduced to you. What's your name?" He said after a minute or two 

"Peter Johnson" I told him 

It took him a minute before he burst into laughter leaving me confused as I looked between Grover and Percy wanting for at least one of them to explain what was so funny about my name but all Percy did was continue laughing and Grover looked over at him an amused expression on his face "I told you would like this one Perce"

"I h-have not laughed like that in a long time" Percy announced, wiping the tears from his eyes

"Hey Seaweed Brain!" A girl with curly blonde hair and stormy grey eyes chirped as she approaches Percy but her smile drops into a slight frown when she notices that he is laughing so hard, he was going red in the face and it looked like he couldn't breath but all she did was slide her gaze over to Grover "Are you going to tell me why he's laughing like that?"

"Because a new campers name is Peter Johnson" Grover revealed struggling to keep his own face straight and I look towards the blonde who is now looking between me and Grover and I could tell she too was struggling with keeping her face straight and eventually a laugh bubbled out of her throat and just like Percy and Grover she doubled over laughing

"Is no-one going to tell me why my name is so Goddamn funny" I grumble

Eventually the trio sobers up and the blonde (whose name I learnt was Annabeth from the pieces of broken speech I got from Percy) offered me her hand and muttered an apology before turning back to Percy and Grover "Come on lets take this new camper to Chiron and Mr D, I'll bet he'll be happy that he doesn't have to learn a new name"

Years later I still had no idea what had three in stitches about my name
