I was starting to follow Travis and Connor's idea of robbing a store for snacks.
Sure, we'd been able to scavenge food, but a hamburger sounds REALLY good right now, and the Apollo kids seem to think salad is the most delicious meal ever to be created by mankind. I knew that this was to be the final battle, but I couldn't help it if I was hungry.
Same with Percy big-mouth. I guess being three minutes older than me is technically older than me, BUT WE'RE FREIKEN TWINS! SO WHAT IF HE'S ALSO 5'6" AND I'M 5'5 AND A HALF"?!
We both have sea green eyes,dark brown hair, and a hilarious sense of humour (although mine is SO much better). Pretty much our only difference is that I was terrified of things lingering in the ocean before I realized I was a daughter of Poseidon.
Once, I saw someone get attacked by a bull shark. Even Tartarus would pee himself.
Okay, maybe not.
I'd also just woken up from some kind of coma thingy, so what did they expect? That I was expecting to go into hibernation so I ate a month's worth of food?
I stood next to Will, who was putting a cast on an Aphrodites girls sprained wrist.
"Where did Percy go?" I asked.
"Him, Annabeth, and someone else... maybe Thalia? They went to the Empire State building to, ya know, save the world and stuff. Your supposed to stay here 'cause o' that puppy," He said, pointing to my broken ankle.
"Yeah, yeah. I know," I grumbled angrily.
"Can you grab me that tape?" He asked.
I handed it to him, and sighed, "See you, Will."
He nodded goodbye, and I walked off, cringing each time my ankle hit the floor. It was healing quick, but when the Drakon was kind enough to throw a car on top of it, I lost quite a lot of blood. I don't think he was getting me my wanted birthday present... but it wasn't even the brand I wanted.
I was able to sit back in the waiting chair, which I had just woken up in, as nearly a hundred kids (some party ponies) stormed in through the front doors, whooping and hollering.
"Lets go! Everyone up!" Clarrise called, "you too, Emi Shmemi!"
"Real mature, Clarrise," I smiled, "real mature."
Annabeth rushed in. Her face was red and puffy, yet her eyes were filled with joy. A smile spread across her face at the sight of me, and let's just say tears were shed and hugs were given. After about five minutes of me hugging Annabeth, she spoke.
"L-Luke killed himself and K-kronos," she stuttered, "t-then Percy was offered immortality, but he said no, for us!"
"He could have been a god?" I asked, raising my eyebrows,"and he declined? If I had to bet money, I would bet twenty bucks that he would say yes."
"Well then I guess you owe yourself twenty bucks."
"Ha-ha, no." I smiled.
Percy was the last person I saw before we started our trip back to Camp, which seemed unlikely ' cause he's usually super protective over his "baby" sister.
"I thought family first, right?" I asked him.
He chuckled, "yes, but isn't camp part of our family, now? And I don't think I was your first thought, either."
"I smiled, as we walked towards the vans that would being taking us to Camp Half Blood... my home.
"True that, older brother. Let's go home."
