Annabeth's POV
Leo had to learn to shut up. My boyfriend has been missing for the last 8 months, and we were nearing Camp Jupiter, and all the kid would talk about was his bronze dragon, Festus. Gods, he was annoying.

"He helped us on our quest, and—"

"LEO! SHUT UP!" Piper said. Thank you, Piper, I thought. Leo looked a little sad, but went back to steering the ship. Soon, we reached a river and a whole bunch of kids were standing outside, weapons at the ready. Jason was in the front, holding our flag of truce, but I wasn't sure this would work with these kids. I looked out onto the deck, and Jason started talking.

"Do not harm the Greeks!" He said, "They are our allies to defeat the earth goddess, Gaea."

"He is right," A girl from the other camp said, "Do not harm them. I am sure our other praetor would agree with me."

"I do," said a voice that I knew so well. I ran out onto the deck, and started searching the crowd. Finally, I found him. He had three kids next to him, a boy and two girls. He wore a purple cloak, as did one of the girls'. They were the praetor. The other girl had eyes strangely familiar, but I just cared about Percy. Jason lowered that ladder, and I was the first one off the boat. I walked up to him. He stared at me like he couldn't believe he was seeing me.

"WHERE THE HADES HAVE YOU BEEN?" I screamed. He looked taken aback.

"8 months, Perseus Jackson, 8 months," I screamed, and then I hugged him. He hugged me back. I missed the way he smelled, the way he felt. I finally felt complete again.

"Your name was the only thing I remembered," He murmured in my ear. At this point, I let a tear fall. He looked at me, and kissed me. I kissed him back. All that mattered was that he was here, that he was alive. I knew Hera took him, but that didn't mean that I thought it was ok.

"I love you," He whispered.

"I love you, too," I said. Everyone from both camps started clapping. We broke apart, and he held my hand. The other praetor came up to us

"Welcome to Camp Jupiter," She said, "I am Reyna. I hope you make yourself at home." She said this kindly, but she glared at me, making me feel uncomfortable.

"Piper, Jason, Leo!" I yelled. They came down to the ground.

"Jason," Reyna said, and she ran to him and hugged him. Piper glared, but said nothing.

"Come on," Percy said, "Let me show you Camp Jupiter." And with that, he led us to the center of the camp, but none of that mattered to me. All that mattered was that Percy was here, holding me hand, talking to me.
