Hey guys! *ducks tomatoes* ok yes I know I said I would update a week ago, but then as I was editing I hit paste and the whole story started again from the middle so I had to leave with out saving and basically do the whole story again. Now your probably thinking well that can't take too long. Well it does cause I read over the story and basically re-write it, and then I have to do spelling and grammar (which personally between you and me I'm not very good at) and then I have to create a whole new story for this one and yeah, excuses and then I had to get over the fault in our stars, and yes I know I did post a chapter after I had seen it but I had already written that one so I just needed to write the authors note. Plus then I decided I need a break, not from writing, just updating. So I gave my self like a week. And then the story is up now ok. *ducks as shoe is thrown* a stiletto? Really?
Annabeth POV
I stood at the prow of the Argo ||. I heard Percy come up behind me and put an arm around my waist.
"What are you thinking?" I ask
"How crazy this is. After nearly a year of being away from my home, I'm finally back. I get to see your sister and everyone else. I get to see Chiron and Clarisse and The stolls." He replies
"I can't believe after everything we're home" I whisper leaning my head on his shoulder. As the canoe lake comes into view I see a girl. Her blonde hair flying out behind her as she chases a little girl with raven hair. Suddenly she stops and turns slowly. A huge smile stretches across her face.
"Chiron! Dylan!" Her familiar voice screams across the water. She runs right to edge of the water, the sea laps at her toes. Chiron and another boy run down the slope leading to the lake.
"Their back" she says. The boy runs up the slope and the familiar sound of the conch shell rings out three times. People pour down and stand staring. Then cheering. The Argo || docks and before I can take one step down the gang plank Zoe's strong arms are pinning mine to my sides.
"Annie, Annie" she sobs "your here" I tear mine out of her grasp and wrap them around her.
"I'm here" I repeat with tears streaming down my face. Zoe pulled away and looked up at me, I could see identical tears flowing down her face. There was something different about her. I couldn't put my finger on it bit it was there. She looked exactly the same as when I'd left. She looked exactly like me. She turned and walked down the gangplank. I felt the seven fan out on either side of me as I stood at the top. I reached down and linked my fingers with Percy's. I take my first step down and slowly walk down. I reach the bottom, I look up at Percy he nods and together we take our first step onto the sand. The camp bursts into a new round of cheers. Their hero is home. Once again the seven fan out behind me. I scan the crowd, Zoe smiles at me, Clarisse nods and the little raven haired girl I saw Zoe chasing before looks extremely confused.
"Zoe" she asks "why are there two of you?" Zoe chuckles and whispers something in her ear. A smile forms on the little girls face.
"You mean, that's him?" She points at Percy. Zoe nods. The little girl runs up to Percy and throws her arms around him.
"Brother!" She cries. Zoe walks up behind her.
"Let me introduce her" she says "Percy, Thea jones daughter of Poseidon"
"Daughter of Poseidon?" Percy asks
"Yes kelp head! Poseidon!" Zoe cried
"Zoe are you sure?" I ask
"Annie, she has Percy's hair and eyes and one other thing... she was claimed!" She practically screamed at me.
"I was just asking" I defended myself
"Yeah sorry I haven't had much sleep lately" Zoe whispered. She hung her head,sobbing. The boy that came down with Chiron came up behind her.
"Zoe let's go" he whispered and slipped an arm around her waist leading her away. I felt a pang of hurt. Why was she leaving? I just got back.
"Wise girl I'm sure it's nothing to do with you" Percy said
"Yeah" piper agreed "I'm sure it's nothing"
"Something's different guys, something's changed" I whispered
"Yeah even I got that" hazel said
"She's not normally like that?" Frank asked
"No" I stared at the spot Zoe and the boy had disappeared.
"Annabeth Zoe has gone through some hard stuff lately" Chiron said as he came up to talk to us, the crowd slowly melted away.
"Like what?" I asked
"Well I think that it's best that she tells you or you'll find out yourself" Chiron told me before he left.
"Well that was odd" Jason said
"Yeah odd one way if explaining it" I replied before walking along the beach and up to my cabin where I expected Zoe to be. Long story short she wasn't there.
"Malcolm" I called out, he walked in from his side of the cabin. "Where's Zoe?"
"My guess, Apollo cabin" he answered before going back to whatever he was doing. Apollo cabin? I decided to go and find her. When I reached the Apollo cabin I heard sniffles and voices.
"Dylan she knows something different! What am I meant to tell her?" Zoe sobbed
"Nothing" Dylan's voice answered
"I can't tell her nothing! She's my sister!" Zoe snapped "sorry"
"It's fine" Dylan replied "well what about you tell her your not ready to talk about it?"
"Yeah. Yeah. Thanks Dylan" the door opened. I ran. What wasn't she ready to tell me? Well I plan to find out.
*Linebreak of confusion?*
Dinner. My first dinner back home. Zoe stood behind me. She was quiet and looked down. She had avoided me all day. We reached the pavilion. I caught Percy's eye. He smiled at me. I waved. I heard a sigh behind me. I ignored it. We say down at the Athena table, Chiron stood up and hit his fork against his glass.
"Hello campers" he started "today our friends returned. Today our hero returned. Today we are a full camp again. To the seven I say welcome and as a special welcome two do our campers are going to sing"
Zoe and Dylan rose, Zoe winked at me. They walked onto the stage and grabbed two headsets and put them on
"Well hello campers" Zoe said mocking Chiron
"We are going to sing a very special song" Dylan continued
"We hope you enjoy it" and with that Zoe walked over to her iPod that she had hooked up to a sound system. Music blared out.

The music changed to another song during the intro Zoe said
"This next song is because of the soccer World Cup that the seven missed"
Soccer (aloe)
Football (aloe)
Music (aloe)
Brazil (aloe)
Everybody in the world
Wanna hear you shout
Cause the field is open the sky is blue and the sun is out
Call it football or soccer
It's the same game
Little kids in the street wanna move their feet they don't care about a name
It can change the world
This game we play
Now the ball is rolling
The party started
It won't go away
Everybody come together
Listen up hear the call
as the nations rising
Then mountains move with the power of foot ball
Aye aye aye aye aye aye-o aye aye aye lalalalala
Aye aye aye aye aye aye-o aye aye aye lalalalala
When we say power we mean extreme
When the game gets going
Feel the magic bigger than a team
Stadiums will rumble
Lakes will drain
Reality will shift the power of our brain
Now the animals are speaking
And They know our dreams
Everything is melting
Nothing is what it seems
We are made of diamonds
Our thoughts are real
We control the planet
All my bets steel
Football
Aye aye aye aye aye aye-o aye aye aye lalalalala
Aye aye aye aye aye aye-o aye aye aye lalalalala
Everyone burst out into applause. Together Zoe and Dylan sounded amazing. The two of them defiantly had chemistry. Dylan's eyes barley left Zoe when they were singing the first song. He Obviously loved her. I just hope her doesn't hurt her. They walked back to their tables, Zoe sat next to me.
"So what's new?" I asked as my plate filled up with roast chicken and potatoes
"Oh nothing much" she replied avoiding my eyes "how about you?"
"Oh you know defeated the earth, fell into Tartarus, found Percy, same old" I shrugged. Her reaction was delayed her face was surprised but her eyes told a different story.
"You fell into Tartarus!" She shrieked, the camp dropped into silence. Like literally you could hear a pin drop. I looked over at Percy, he had his head buried in his hands his fingers threading through his hair. Zoe followed my gaze.
"He went with you, didn't he?" She asked softly
"He promised never to leave me" I answered
"I wish I had that" she sighed
"You've got Dylan" I told her
"Yeah but would he go through hell for me?"
"Maybe"
"Leaving that topic... Um..."
"What's happened here while I was gone?"
"Um let's see, travis and Katie started dating, we got new campers, I started hanging out with the Aphrodite it's girls to much and started using words like totes and probs" she shuddered
"I fell so bad for you" I said wiping fake tears away
"It was awful" she agreed
"So tratie" I said
"Yup"
"How?"
"Oh it was so funny, travis and Connor stole all of Katie's clothes including her underwear and hung it around the camp so when Katie woke up and had nothing to wear she had to run around the camp in her pyjamas then she went to the Hermes cabin and screamed at travis he kissed her and she kissed him back" she told me
"Aw"
"I know, I'm tired I'm going to bed 'Kay" and with that she got up, leaving her plate untouched. I ate my food and went over to Percy.
"Hey" I said as I slide on next to him.
"Hey" he replies watching his plate refill
"So traties a thing now"
"Weally" he chokes out through his mouth full. I chuckle
"Night seaweed brain" I didn't want to leave but I wanted to think I'm not stupid Zoe's showing a lot of signs.
Not eating
Tiredness
Grumpy
I might have just got back but If I was right my sister is going through something worse than I imagined
Hey guys so it's back, and I have a really big surprise for you... It's in the story. Lol. I got you all excited in other news have any of you seen warm bodies? Amazing!
Ok ok I know it's the first chapter but rant... Stack, stack, brick, brick, lego...
ok do any of you have the sibling who wakes up at 5-7am? Yeah well both of my siblings do. So I'll set the mood.
Hoildays: I go to sleep 2-3 am the wake up at noon
school term: I go to sleep 10-10.30ish then wake up at 7-7.30
so my sister was born at 6.50 in the morning. Now for some reason she thinks it's a good idea to wake me up at 6 so that she get me to watch her open her presents at 6.50 the exact time she was born. Now not only do I have to deal with the jealousy that shes getting presents and I'm not, but I gots to deal with that while being tired and half asleep. Like you know that scene in the exserctist when she comes down the stairs with her head on backwards, yeah well if you wake me up ill do that to you! I'll exercise you! So yeah do not wake me up!
love you all
Zoe
