So, that is how Eli got roped into going to camp. He felt like such an idiot. He knew if his sister was a Demigod she would be in trouble as soon as he left. But what If she wasn't. What if he was worrying over nothing. Eli placed the last of his belongings into the duffle-bag he had packed.
"Mom," Eli said walking out of his room, "I'm about ready." He said.
"Elilvendan," she said smiling, "My little hero," she hugged him, and she said goodbye before he walked out the door. Eli walked down the road a bit, and decided to look at the map Percy gave him. Eli looked around him to make sure there was no one around, and tried to use his power to fly. Needless to say, he failed. He continued walking, and made it to the city. He walked over to the Coffee shop he promised to meet Percy at. He sat there, and watched at Percy walked up.
"Eli?" Percy asked.
"No," Eli stood up, and they walked down the sidewalk for a bit when Percy turned to an alley, "What are we doing?" He asked.
"There is a shortcut," Percy grabbed Eli's arm, and dragged him along. Eli tried to catch up with his arm, but Percy kept running faster. (HAHA, It sounds like his arm's name is Percy)
"SLOW DOWN WOULD YOU?!" Eli shouted.
"Ok." Percy stopped short. Eli was flung into a girl at the apparent camp boarders.
"MAN!" She yelled, "I just got this coffee!" She was pulling her shirt away from her stomach where it had spilled, "You got a napkin, Speedy Gonzalez?" She asked. Percy just chuckled.
"You too!" She said. Eli called on the winds to dry them off, and he smiled a bit.
"Who goes there?" A whisper called.
"Rosie, it's just the Jackson kid, and his friend," The girl said to the other apparently named Rosie.
"I'm Rose Hawk," she said, "daughter of Athena." She added.
"I'm Eli," he said raising an eyebrow at the girl he spilled the hot coffee on.
"I'm tired," she said. Eli rolled his eyes, clearly not pleased with her answer. She walked off as another kid in armor walked up to take her place. Eli noticed as she walked a few flowers popped up where her feet were. He recognized them as ANEMONE (flowers) his mother's favorite flower. They were all over her garden. He watched her walk away.
"That's Freya. She's a daughter of Demeter." Rose said.
"A bit edgy, isn't she?" Eli said.
"Only when boys spill hot coffee on her!" She said. She walked off too and Percy and Eli followed her further into the camp. When she made it to the ever familiar cabins Percy stopped Eli.
"These are the cabins," he said.
"Percy?" Percy turned around to see Annabeth, "Who's this then?" She asked cautiously.
"Elilvendan, but you can call me Eli." He said winking.
"Lay off dude!" Percy said.
"Who is he to you?" She asked.
"My cousin," he said.
"No duh! We're all cousins here!" She said punching Percy's arm.
"No, I mean my cousin on my mom's side!" He said rubbing his now red arm.
"Really?" She asked, "Can he just see through the mist?" She asked.
"No, he's a Demigod," Percy said like it was obvious.
"Why haven't I seen him around before?" She asked.
"I like to stay home during the summer." Annabeth looked him over, and couldn't put her finger on whose kid he could be.
"Don't hurt yourself," Eli said when he saw her staring.
"I'm not sure whose child he is," she said quietly as Eli walked away. Eli walked toward the cabins, and looked for his siblings.
"Eli?" Percy asked, "What're you doing?" Eli turned towards Percy.
"Where are my siblings?" He asked. Percy looked at him.
"Well, technically speaking, you aren't even supposed to be alive." Percy said to him.
"What?" Eli was confused, "What do you mean?" He looked at Percy with pain in his eyes.
"Well, our dad's made a deal they wouldn't have anymore kinds cause they were too powerful!" Percy said.
"But I'm not supposed to be here?" Eli stared at him, "What does that mean?" He asked, "I'm just a mistake?!" He shouted.
"Eli, you aren't a mistake!" Percy shouted back, "You are the demigod of prophecy!" Percy said back.
"What prophecy?" He asked with a hint of hatred in his voice. Percy walked over to the big house with Eli behind him.
"Chiron," Percy said.
"Ah, Percy," Chiron was in human form, "Eli, what a pleasant surprise!" Percy looked at them.
"How do YOU know Eli?" Percy asked.
"I tried to have him join the camp, but he's determined to protect his family. How did you get him to come?" He asked.
"Well, I'm his cousin on our mom's side," Percy started, "And I told him that they would be fine!" Percy said smiling.
"Last we checked Eli was never Claimed by anyone." Chiron said, "Were you claimed over three years?" He asked.
"Not that I know of." He answered.
"So, you aren't a child of Zeus?" Percy asked.
"Well, I didn't want to lie if I was!" Eli said. Eli walked out of the room, and out to the rest of the camp.
"Eli," Eli was really getting ready to change his name, "Are you alright?" It was that Demeter girl for before.
"You never told me your name," he said, walking down the stairs, and sliding an arm around her waist.
"Freya," she said. She was falling for him just as he had hoped.
