Chiron couldn't get over to me fast enough. He looked pretty petrified.

'Chiron, what's going on?' I was seriously freaked out.

'I think, Mercy, you just got claimed by two gods.' Chiron was curious but also terrified.

'How is that possible?' I was confused.

'Luke, can you bring Mercy to the Big House please?' Chiron tried to break the tension.

Luke guided me after Chiron in his wheelchair to the Big House. We sat in the main room. The guy I'd seen Chiron with earlier entered, looking mad.

'When were you going to tell me about this, Chiron?' The guy snapped.

'Mercy, this is Dionysus. We also call him Mr D.' Chiron explained.

'God of wine?' I checked.

'She knows?' Dionysus asked.

'My Dad is obsessed with gods, so I picked up a lot.' I pointed out.

'Hang on. You know who your Dad is?' Dionysus was confused.

'Yeah. I ran away from him when I was nine after he turned to the bottle.' I shrugged.

Luke gently supported me, touching my hand in some kind of support.

'Mercy, have you had any major incidences growing up?' Chiron asked.

I could think of one instance.

'There was one incident. I dunno it means anything. I was at the pool after school and a powerline came loose and electrocuted the water and I didn't die or anything. I was fine.' I shrugged.

'No marks or anything?' Dionysus was annoyed.

'Just one mark, actually. It looks like an owl getting stabbed with a trident.' I pulled up my shirt and showed on my right side I had the mark I described burned into my skin.

'Oh my gods. I think you have connections to both gods.' Chiron was worried sick.

'What does that mean?' I said.

'You're caught in the middle of the feud between Athena and Poseidon.' Dionysus explained.

I looked at all of them in shock. I could see fear on all their faces.

'That's not a good thing, is it?' I knew.

'I'm afraid not. I can consult with Zeus and figure out what we can do.' Chiron was a little stumped.

'What happens to me now? I go into two cabins.' I shrugged.

'You can decide which to stay in until we figure out what's going on.' Chiron said.

Chiron looked at Luke. Luke got the point. He stood up and guided me out the Big House.

'Are you alright?' Luke asked.

'I doubt I will be for a long time.' I was trying to process what just happened.

A girl ran over to us and stopped when she saw me.

'New girl?' She checked.

'Yeah.' I shrugged.

'Mercy, this is Annabeth. She's the camp leader for Athena. Annabeth, this is Mercy.' Luke was good at this.

'Luke, we have a problem. Hermes cabin are causing trouble and Ares cabin are getting close to fighting them.' Annabeth was worried.

'Mercy, could you give us a hand?' Luke asked.

'Might as well.' I gave in.

The three of us dashed over and found fighting had begun. I drew my sword out of nowhere and I managed to separate them. Some of the campers backed up because I was in the way and armed.

'That is enough!' I called.

The group of campers fell silent, staring at me in shock. They weren't expecting me to be so outspoken after what happened moments earlier.

'Ares, to your cabin and Hermes, to your cabin.' Luke demanded.

A lot of the campers were disgruntled by the demands made by Luke, but did as they were told. The groups dispersed and I felt calmer.

'Thanks, Mercy.' Luke gently squeezed one of my shoulders.

I looked down at my sword and I saw it had a trident in the hilt.

'Luke, I'd suggest you looked at my sword.' I was worried by it.

Luke saw it and was in shock.

'Riptide? That's Poseidon's sword.' Luke was surprised.

'I just suddenly had it in my hand.' I pointed out.

'You're full of surprises.' Luke smirked.

Something about the smirk he gave me held something else other than his cheeky nature of Hermes. I saw Annabeth seeing Luke's smirk at me and I could tell she was on the same page as me.

'I'll go and report it to Chiron. I'll be back.' Luke then walked away.

I watched Luke walk away until he turned off and out of sight. Annabeth walked over to me.

'He likes you, doesn't he?' Annabeth knew.

'I think so. I know you two are very close and I don't want to come in between that. I just don't know what to do. I'm caught in a tough situation.' I said.

'Talk to him. I don't mind. Luke needs someone and it's not me.' Annabeth shrugged.

'Are you sure?'

'Yeah. Just talk to him. I'll find you a place in the Athena cabin near me, just so the others stay in line, ok?'

'Thanks, Annabeth.'

Annabeth smiled weakly and walked away. I turned round and found Luke coming back.

'Where's Annabeth?' Luke asked.

'Gone to find me somewhere in the Athena cabin.' I shrugged.

'Will you walk with me?'

I let Luke lead me out towards the lake. We sat on a stony patch, looking out at the ripples in the waves.

'What is it?' Luke knew something was on my mind.

'I talked to Annabeth. She knows that look you keep giving me.' I confessed.

'What look?'

'Luke, you look at me like you had a hole that's getting filled by having someone to love like that. Annabeth knows you need someone and told me to talk to you.'

'She did?'

'Yeah. She knew she couldn't fill your hole, but obviously believes I can.'

Luke got me to look at him. He gently kissed my lips and for all the years on the run, I felt safe and wanted. He slowly pulled away and I could tell he wanted it as much as I did.

'Will you…uh…' Luke got a little tongue tied.

'Yeah. I will.' I smirked.

Luke couldn't keep his cheeky grin off his face. He then decided to kiss me again. Neither of us wanted to give in, but we both ended up doing so to get air. Luke got my head resting against his shoulder, holding me close to him.

'Who would have guessed I'd be with someone like you?'

'I've got to keep you on your toes somehow.'

Luke chuckled at that. He kissed the top of my head.

'Luke, Chiron wants you!' Grover had found us.

We both laughed at the terrible timing, but I let him go. Grover saw Luke had been with me and sat with me.

'You and Luke are together?' Grover asked.

'Appears so. I just have to figure out what happens with me, now I'm fought over by Poseidon and Athena. Grover, can I ask something?'

'Go ahead.'

'Do you know a guy called Percy Jackson?'

Grover stared at me in shock.

'He goes to the school I'm watching. It's the holidays, so I've come back to camp to check things before I go back. How do you know him?'

'I don't. He's been in my dreams the past couple of months. He has the sword I made appear in my hand when Hermes and Ares got close to attacking each other. Luke called it Riptide?'

Grover stared at me in shock. He knew there was something wrong.
