Been busy with school, but finally finished a chapter for Valentines Day. Hope everyone has a good day.

This reincarnation must be lying. We can't be soul mates. It must be some kind of mistake, or … or I must be dreaming. I didn't even notice I was backing up, until my back hit the wall. I looked around franticly trying to find an escape route. I almost forgot I could shadow travel.

Next thing I know, I am hyperventilating, sitting on my bed in the Hades Cabin. I know I should just head back to the Underworld, but I still needed to deliver the package to Chiron. I have to give it to him before I leave. I have a job to do before anything else. That seemed to calm me down a tiny bit.

As I try to calm down the rest of the way, I thought about what the reincarnation said. He said we were soul mates. Yes, I had played with the idea, when I first meet him, but quickly throw it away. I know what people say when they first meet their soul mates, but I finally accepted that I would never have one. I couldn't … wouldn't believe he is the one meant for me. It must have been a misunderstanding, a mistake. I was just wanted to find someone for me, that I misinterpreted our first meeting as one. Yeah, that must be it. I just misinterpreted it.

Finally calmed down, I lay on my bed, looking up at a ceiling I haven't seen in years, as dust started to settle on everything. My dad is the only one that kept his promise that none of the Big Three would have kids.

I don't know if I fell asleep, or was just out of it, but the next thing I know, its dinner time. I hear campers shuffling on their way to the mess hall. I haven't eaten in gods know how long, and the promise of food makes me forget my problems, for right now. Slowly getting up, I made my way to the door. I hope that I don't run into that new camper, as I walk to the mess hall, but luck or the Fates weren't on my side. I run into someone, and we both fall to the ground. "Ouch." Someone says. I look up, only to find myself looking into electric blue eyes, which I have been trying to get away from.

Everything around us seems to disappears, and I only have eyes for him. A warm, fuzzy feeling washes over me. I want to reach out and take his hand, but snap out of it. Now I know we are soul mates, I can't deny that, but it can't be true, I will not let it be true. Some god or the Fates are messing with us. This is the last time I will see him anyway, so it doesn't matter what I am feeling now.

I push him off of me, jump up, and run the rest of the way to the mess hall, not looking back. I eat quickly, not looking around at all the new campers. I know they are whispering about me, none of the have seen me before. I doubt any of them will see me again, while they are alive at least.

Chiron soon dismisses everyone to head to the camp fire. I get up and walk over to the old centaur. "My father wanted me to give this to you." I said as I had over the gift. He looks at it before taking it out of my hand. "Thank you." I nod and turn around. "Are you not going to stay?" He asks.

I bite my lip before answering. "No."

"But what about Jason? If he is truly your soul mate, are you going to leave him here?"

"The Fates have it wrong. They have made a mistake. He will soon find another. He does not need me." It's silent for a while, and I'm just about to depart when Chiron speaks again. "The Fates have never made a mistake about soul mates before. If you two are truly meant to be together, it will hurt him more knowing you left and never to return. Would you be able to bear that?"

"I am not the one for him. I was never the one for him. He is just a reincarnation of a friend, and as soon as he meets her, everything will be right again. He does not need me. No one does." The last part I say quietly, but I'm sure Chiron still heard it. I hear a sigh come for him. "It doesn't happen often, but not all reincarnation are meant for each other in every life. Pip –" I cut him off. "Don't say their names!"

"… She might not even be alive right now, and you would know that more than I would. Even if she was, what are the chances she is also a demigod? You know that there is an even slimmer chance of them meeting if he is a demigod and she isn't."

We both let the air around us fill with noise from the campers. Wind rustles my hair before I turn around. My face hard before I say, "I will stay until the end of the camp fire. He should be claimed by then. After that, I am leaving." Knowing he won't get a better deal, Chiron nods before we both walk over to the fire. I stay in the shadows, keep my distance. It would be better if no one saw me. It will make it easier for everyone.

The camp fire went on like usual. Apollo's cabin sings songs, different campers show off in a talent show, campers are talking to one another as they eat s'mores. The only difference tonight is that he gets claimed. It's almost time for everyone to head back to their cabins, when a light shines above his head. Gasps fill the air, as I look over to see who claimed him.

If I was shocked before, then I am petrified now. Zeus, god of the skies and king of Olympus, has claimed my friends the reincarnation.

The next chapter I work on will be chapter 4 for Helping Foxes so be on the lookout for that.
