It was Clarisse, my old enemy from demigod camp. She cursed and sliced at the bird, but it flew away. As I watched, one of the birds shot a feather like an arrow, and it lodged in her shoulder. Feathers stuck out of her clothes in several places. She was hacking at a flock of black birds the size of ravens. She was tall and muscular like a basketball player, with stringy brown hair and jeans, combat boots and a denim jacket. Sure enough, there was a girl in the alley with her sword drawn. We were in the lab, so everybody was talking, and it wasn’t hard for me to go look out the window while I pretended to wash out my beaker. Nobody else seemed to notice the commotion. Like somebody was getting attacked by possessed poultry, and, believe me, that’s a situation I’ve been in before. I was in fifth-period science class when I heard these noises outside. All you need to know about Clarisse is that her father is Ares.

She ran away from home when she was seven because her dad got remarried and then she hung around with Luke and Thalia for a while before coming to camp. But from the waist down he’s a white stallion!Īge: 13 and a half (and apparently way more mature than me)Ībout Annabeth: She’s had a kinda tough life. From the waist up he looks like a regular middle-aged guy: curly brown hair, check. The same Titan who wants to kill ME!īody type: When he’s in his wheelchair you wouldn’t know that he’s a centaur.

Location: Camp Half-Blood, Long Island, New York (NB I only added Clarisse ’cause she’s got me out of a few scraps. These are the guys you’d want around as your back-up team. Okay, it’s not every day that you’ll find yourself battling a doughnut-eating monster but, for the sake of argument, let’s say you did.
