Chapter Text
Waking up and finding yourself in a bed you don’t recognize is not how most people start their day. And yet that’s how my day started. When my eyes flickered open the first thing I expected to see was my bedroom ceiling. And then get ready. And then go to school and be miserable. Instead I lay eyes on wood.
When I sit up slowly, and honestly scared, I realize I’m in a cabin. Like a camp cabin. I sit in bed under and really fluffy punk duvet that I’ve never seen in my life. And when I see a girl walk by and wave to me before grabbing a shower caddy and leaving I think I might cry. What the fuck. I slowly get out of bed. Looking around. Then I look down. Huh… at least my pajama are cute. White with small red hearts, something someone would see on Pinterest and then go to Amazon to search for.
I slide my feet into the slippers on the floor by my bed and wander to the door. Wow. Outside is.. wow. In a U shaped formation there are cabins..around 12..and kids in.. orange t-shirts.. hold on.
This is..
This is Camp Half-Blood.

My first instinct is to get dressed and find someone, anyone I recognize. It’s not everyday you wake up in your favorite fantasy world. Especially as a teenage girl.
I play with my camp necklace as I walk. When I hear my name called I turn. “Hey I’ve been looking for you. Selina said you slept in but I didn’t.. hey are you okay? Did you get enough sleep?” I can’t help but gawk a little. “Luke?” I ask. He looks like he does in that new show. But he acts different. Almost like a combination of the too. He’s in he’s orange camp shirt and shorts and his brow is furrowed as though I told him his cats left tier was naked. “Yes?..” He ask.
“How.. holy shit.” Is all I can let out. I probably look like an idiot staring at him but I can’t help it. I feel a little sick. “Baby, are you okay?” He ask he presses the back of his hand to my forehead while I look up as him. “What did you just call me?”
Now he looks really worried. “Are you feeling sick? I could get Chiron to let you off for the day.” He continues to touch my forehead until I grab his hand “I’m fine. But Luke I need you to take me to him. To Chiron. It’s urgent.” He looks worried but takes my hand, it almost tingles when it does and guides me to The Big House.

When you explain inter-dimensional problems to a centaur most would expect a bigger reaction. Instead I’ve ended up in the nurses room. There is no nurse, it is a camp of demigods after all, but he’s told me to rest and he’d send people in to jog my memory slowly and that this must just be a concussion or something.
I sit in front of someone I do recognize. Taylor from math class. But this isn’t my Taylor.. exactly. She messes with a flower crown. “So.. what do you know?” She asks cautiously, like I’m glass she needs to be careful to sing around. “I know I’m me. I guess I’m the daughter of Aphrodite. I know we’re friends and I know.. I definitely am from a different world.” I say simply.
“Huh.. So you remember about Demi gods right? And all that stuff.” I nod in response to her question. “Do you remember your relationships with everyone here?”She worry’s and I shake my head. “I know everyone. But I don’t know my connections to them. Well besides you.” I shrug leaning back on the wall my cot sits by and taking a sip of the apple juice I was given when being guided into the nurse room.
“So what do you know about Luke?” Taylor says as she messes with the rips in her jeans. “Well I guess that depends..” I need to be careful. Being from out of this world (literally) means what I say could affect the whole Percy Jackson timeline. “Do you know a kid named Percy?” Taylor raises a brow at this question. “A what? A Persassy?” “No.. don’t worry about it.”
So I’m here before Percy? I know the whole timeline and he hasn’t even fucking arrived yet. I could.. I could change everything… I could FIX everything.I grin. “I guess I know Luke is pretty stunning. Why do you ask me about him?” I ask siping my drink again. “Well.. he’s your boyfriend.” I almost spit out my drink. “WHAT?” I lean forward. Taylor nods “Luke and you. You’ve been dating a month I think? A little after you arrived to camp a few months ago.”
“Luke Castellan is my boyfriend?” And I could change the whole story?
”Yep.”
