Where is Holly? Willow thought as she gazed across the field. She was standing on the porch of The Cottage, where the oracle was held, and where new members were introduced. Holly had promised to meet her in 2 minutes. She sighed, and wished that things were different.
She had founded Camp Olympus with Holly, but only two people had come to stay. It was frustrating, working so hard to build a camp and no one showing up. As if on cue, she heard some yelling coming from around the corner. It sounded like Holly and a.... boy? There weren't any boys in camp. Willow grabbed her sword, and raced to help Holly. Once she arrived on the scene, she saw Holly fighting a boy who looked about her age. She was using her bow, and he was using a spear. He was a good fighter, and he was holding up well. But that was before she had arrived. She entered the fray, and slashed at him with her sword. He blocked the attack with his spear, and tried to push her down, but she held her ground. The boy cursed, and then lunged at her with his spear. She ducked, and the spear went over her head. She then punched the boy in the jaw. He yelled and began to attack with more force. She blocked each of his attacks, then punched him in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. He dropped to one knee, and she pointed her sword at his face. "Tell me your name." she said, her voice loud and commanding.
"Jason Calloway. I came here to look for someone."
"Who?" she asked.
" Her name is Amber, and she's a good friend of mine. She said she was going to a camp for demigods. I can only assume that this is the place that she meant. Is she here?"
Willow shook her head. There was no one named Amber at camp.
"Well, that's just great." He sighed, then said: "Do you mind if I stay for a while? I need to get some rest. Besides, she might show up here sometime soon."
Willow said: "No, I don't mind at all. Do you know who your godly parent is?"
Jason said: "Poseidon."
Willow smiled and said: "Good. Holly will show you around." she gestured at Holly while she was speaking. Jason then walked off with Holly, and Willow returned to the porch of the Cottage. It's strange, she thought, that right after I wished some more people would show up, someone showed up. As she walked towards the porch, she looked up at the sky. There wasn't a cloud in sight.
