a/n – my first try at a cross over! I was originally gunna make it just a Percy Jackson but my mind ran away with me… I got a bit carried away…. But hey I think it turned out okay :P sorry if theres any "loose ends" I need to tie, theres more chapters to do that in :3 I think this is the longest chapter ive ever written for anything… well. Enjoy!

All I wanted was a fresh start, was that really too much to ask? I wanted to forget about everything. All of the problems, the lost friends, the stress of Camp Half-Blood… but its never that simple, is it? I was 18 when I left the Camp; it just wasn't doing it for me anymore. Annabeth had left, Grover was nowhere to be found, and we'd grown apart since the battle up on mount Olympus anyway. Tyson was still helping out my father so I hadn't seen him in a long time and because of my reputation for getting into trouble not many of the new campers really wanted to be friends with me, or even talk to me… or come near me… So I decided it was time for a new start.

I'd talked it over with Chiron and he had agreed with me when I said I was old enough to look after myself. So then we decided on me going to this new camp I'd heard about. It was for older demi-gods, those who weren't quite old enough to face the wide world but too old to stay at camp half blood and train for the next few years of their lives. There were frequent trips between Camps that started up about a year ago but the occasional bi-monthly visit just wasn't meeting what I wanted. The demi-gods there barely knew I existed, or what had happened to me throughout my life, simply because the Demi-Gods there we're found at a later age. It was a miracle they hadn't been killed or attacked by then. I wasn't one to complain though. The Camp had been good to me this past year; it provided an escape when Camp Half-Blood became too much to handle and I had decided that maybe it was time to move in officially, so that's exactly what I did.

Little did I know, things weren't about to get much better.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~

My first day at camp was a tough one. It was great to finally be away from the almost strangled feel of Camp Half-Blood. I used to love it there but it just became too much after a while, I would still visit on the camp trips but living there was just beyond what I could handle. I walked through the gate into the camp and almost instantly I could sense a more relaxed atmosphere. This place was bigger than Camp half-blood and there were more leisure facilities. There was an outdoor pool within walking distance that some girls, probably daughters of Aphrodite were sitting in, and not far on after that was a small log cabin with the words "Half-way Camp" carved above it. I decided that maybe that was the best place to go first.

I stepped into the small cabin nervously, gripping the strap of my rucksack not quite sure what to expect. I was slightly shocked when I saw a simple wooden table and a young looking man sitting at it with a laptop in front of him. He had longish brown hair that look well kept and his t-shirt clung to his abs and chest. He looked up as the door hit the wall and smiled at me warmly.

"You must be Percy" I smiled a nodded

"Uh yeah…" He stood up and walked over, holding out his hand. I shook it before slipping my hand back into my pocket and rocking on my heels awkwardly.

"If you follow me I'll show you to your cabin" I nodded and followed him out of the small door.

"I'm James by the way" The boy said.

"Percy" I replied almost instinctively. He chuckled and nodded.

"I know" I mouthed an 'oh' before following him off towards an opening in some tree's.

We passed gangs of demi-gods and smaller groups of satyrs as we made our way over to the cabins. It was a reasonably warm day so the majority of them were wearing t-shirts while the others wore light armour, probably for training. I'd never really seen these guys in action, but I could almost guarantee that even after everything I had been through, most of these guys could knock me out with one swipe of anything, even a twig. They all looked about 20 where as I was just 18, barely. They were all built and I was this scrawny kid with a Justin Bieber style hair cut, with a more emo looking fringe. I was scared for my life at this place. None of these guys, or girls for that matter, had warm smiles like James, and I wasn't prepared to find out if their attitudes matched the looks on their faces.

We finally arrived in front of my cabin. It was a lot more private than my cabin at Camp Half-Blood but it still had the familiar ocean-like smell. The lake was once again behind my cabin which I was happy about, I would always go out there to think, or swim, or talk to my father on special occasions. James smiled at me before patting me on the back

. "Okay… well as soon as you're settled in don't be afraid to walk around the Camp a bit. Don't worry the majority of as don't bite. Some of the satyrs might but they just have issues so don't worry too much. I'll leave you too it and if you need anything, don't be a stranger" I nodded before saying goodbye and heading into my cabin. I was disappointed to find out there was obviously someone else staying in here with me due to the suitcase on the bed and wardrobe half full with these guys' clothes. I was quite looking forward to having my own cabin but hey, as long as this guy wasn't like the others I'd be fine.

I walked my stuff over to the spare bed and sat down, letting out a deep sigh. It was good to be away from Camp half-blood but I couldn't help but miss it. Before I could get too caught in deep thought, my room mate entered. I relaxed slightly when I saw him. He was around my height, if not shorter, he wasn't exactly built and although he had muscles, which was typical of demi gods, he looked quite shy. He had short brown hair that stuck up in all different directions and a warm smile on his face. As soon as he laid his eyes on me I could see how welcoming he actually was. He looked slightly shocked giving me the impression no one told him I was going to be here.

"Oh, hi!" He said, walking over to me with his hand held out. I stood up and took it, giving it a quick shake.

"I'm Percy" I replied. His smile grew slightly.

"Logan" He replied. "I take it your staying in here with me then?" I nodded gently before motioning to my stuff.

"I haven't got much so don't worry about me taking up room, and I don't stay indoors much" Logan chuckled.

"It's fine, I'm the same, I like sitting out by the lake reading, I just feel… calmer out there by the water" I nodded in agreement and my almost awkward smile relaxed and turned into a genuine one.

"Awesome! So do I, it must run in our blood or something"

"I'd expect so, I mean our father is Poseidon"

"True"

"Hey, I've gotta go meet up with some friends, do you wanna come?" He asked as he reached into his back pocket, pulling out his phone. I hesitated for a second before finally nodding.

"Eh, What the heck, can't do me any harm" Logan smiled.

"Awesome, I just need to let James and Kendall know where to meet me and Carlos and we'll go"

"Right ok, ill just grab my phone and stuff…" I reached into my bag and pulled out riptide. I saw Logan's eyes flicker to it and furrow his eyebrows.

"What's that?" He asked.

"Oh… My old camp leader… Chiron gave it to me. It's a sword" He nodded, eyebrows still furrowed before relaxing.

"Kay, well you coming?" I nodded, grabbed my ipod, and followed Logan out of the cabin.

The walk to the training ground was a short and uneventful one. I got more of a view of the camp but that was all that really happened. All of the people we walked past smiled and Logan, some gave him high fives and others just ignored his existence completely. We finally got to a little picnic like area near the training ground and that's when I first set my eyes on him. There was a tall blonde standing with the guy I had met when I first came in and a shorter Latino boy. This blonde was the most gorgeous guy I had ever seen. I had known about my sexuality ever since Annabeth left camp. Me and Nico had some issues with some alcohol and before we knew it… well lets just say my virginity was long gone.

After that night I had done a lot of thinking but it was when I was sitting by the lake outside my old cabin that I realised it. I was gay and I had known it for a while, but me being me had decided to ignore those thoughts and not realise they existed until an awkward time. But anyway… This blonde was the most gorgeous thing I had ever seen. His medium length blonde hair hung around his head perfectly and his eyes we're a gorgeous greeny colour that I could see from where I was standing. His smile made me go weak at the knees and the way his t-shirt clung to his muscular chest and abs…

I shook my head and tried to concentrate on walking. It was only in that moment I realised exactly where we were walking, straight towards him and the two other boys. I swallowed hard and tried to gather my thoughts. The minute we got to the small group Logan began to speak.

"Guys, this is Percy, he's my new room mate" James smiled.

"I know we've met" I smiled back.

"Good to see you again" The smaller latino boy stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder.

"Welcome to 'Half-Way Camp" I chuckled

"Thanks" my gaze moved from Carlos up to Kendall. He was slightly taller than me and his chest and abs were even more dominant from where I was standing. He stepped forward.

"I'm Kendall" To my surprise he wrapped me in a quick hug before pulling away and shooting me a gorgeous smile. My knee's felt like jelly, making it hard to stand up straight.

"Kendall's an awesome name…" I stated, instantly regretting it. I mean, what kind of idiot says that to a guy you barely even know? I mentally kicked myself before smiling at him gently.

"Thanks" He said. I could have sworn there was a slight blush to his cheeks…

The meet and greet went quite quickly considering I was nervous. Before long Kendall's smile turned to a frown as he looked at his watch.

"Dammit. Guys I gotta go on reception duty" His eyes locked on mine as a frown appeared on my face too.

"Bye" James, Carlos and Logan said in unison. He shot them all a slight smile before turning to me.

"Ill see ya later yeah? Ill pop by your cabin or something…" My frown turned to a slight smile.

"Yeah, or something…" I replied. His expression also turned happier.

"Okay then, I better go" I waved slowly, my heart racing.

Maybe Half-Way Camp wouldn't be too bad…
