Three clicks...

*Jerry*

Light hit my face as I opened my eyes.

"Thank goodness!" It was Lilac's voice. "You're alive" I sat up slowly, looking at my surroundings.

"Where am I?" I asked, looking around.

"Camp Half-Blood" Lilac said.

"Aloe and Lucas?" The two boys were the only two people I knew.

"Here..." She waved her arm to the other side of the room, both were also on cots. Two giggling girls were no doubt thinking how handsom they both looked.

I saw Lilac bite her lip.

"You know them?" I asked her.

"Yeah, they're my sisters" She seemed annoyed.

"Oh..." Though I didn't see any resemblance.

Lilac stood up from her seat and smiled.

"You want to take a walk?" I looked at her, she had cargo pants on, a camoflagued shirt on, a jean jacket over it.

"Sure!" I was happy to get up and move. My bones creaked at my sudden movement.

We stepped out of the cabin, and into sunlight. But there were people running everywhere.

"They are getting prepared for a battle" Lilac said, reading my expression.

"A battle?" I watched a boy run past with a dozen arrows.

"Yeah" She said. "With the wolves"

"Wolves?"

"An anient pack' she explained. "They have two of our own, we plan to take them back"

"Lilac!" A girl that was tanned a little came over, her hair was in a braid.

"What is it Piper?"

"It's Annabeth! She's doing it again!" The girl said frantic. Lilac and the girl left.

"Sure... Leave me behind!" I said under my breath.

"Jerry?" I froze, I knew that voice, but I hadn't heard it in a long time. "Jerry!" I turned and saw the big lug run towards me, a huge black dog at his heels.

"Tyson!" I yelled, running towards him.

He gave me one of his big bear hugs.

Okay... Lemme explain...

About six years ago, when I robbed a grocery store, I saw someone crouching behind the wall, three kids were picking at him. At first, I thought it was a rock, and then, as I got closer, I realized it was a living being.

"Hey you punks!" I yelled. "Leave him alone!" Of course I knew these kids as well, for they were runaways.

"Run!" One yelped as they saw me.

I walked to the victim.

"Are you okay?" I had asked him. He was so shaken, I bent down and gripped his wrist gently. "You can trust me, okay?" The boy looked at me with sad yes and I smiled.

"C'mon..." And we walked to my hideout.

The boy towered me, but he was frightened, I couldn't have left him.

"You want some soup?" I put the backpack on the ground, right beside a rock I sit on.

"Y-You stole it" He said cautiously.

"Not the soup" I told him. "I made it"

"F-Fine" And I fed him the soup.

"I'm Jerry by the way, you are?"

"Tyson"

And now, as I looked up at him, six years later, I was happy.

"When you didn't come back, I was worried, where've you been?"

"Here" He gestured at the surroundings.

I looked at the nature surrounding me and smiled.

"You seem much happier here" I was happy he had somewhere he belonged.

"Oh, Jerry!" Tyson smiled his mega watt smile. "You have no idea! Oh... But I've missed you too!" I laughed.

"It's fine Tyce" I said with a smile.

"So who's your dad?" I looked at him, noticing the one eye. I had noticed it before, but I kept it to myself. He was still a caring giant.

"My dad?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yeah! You know, one of the gods?" His speech was getting better too.

"Um, I truly don't know..." I said, tapping my chin.

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"Tyson!" A girl ran over and looked at him. "Annabeth is having one of her episodes!"

Tyson looked worried and then gave me a fleeting look.

"It sounds like your friend needs you... Go" I told him.

"Come! I want you to meet her too!" I sighed and followed him.

We reached the middle of the cabins, she was swinging her head, clutching the sides of them.

"Percy!" She yelped. "Percy, don't die!" She started to cry.

"Who's-" I was about to ask Tyson, but he was away from my side.

"Annabeth, you're okay" Lilac was trying to calm the girl, who also had blonde hair, but was taller.

a crowd was forming, I had push to people to get to the front again.

"PERCY!" I caught my breath.

Annabeth... Said a voice in my head. The same voice I had been hearing.

"Are you Percy?" I asked it.

Annabeth...

"You know you're no help!" I yelled at the voice.

Eyes stared at me the girl that was in a total panic, was now calming down.

*Jason*

Percy had gotten contact with Annabeth, but he sees her panicing.

"She can't handle it..." I told him.

He looked depressed, I patted him on the shoulder.

"Dude I'm sorry" But I knew sorry wasn't enough.

"Maybe I should try someone else?" He asked.

"No, Let me try..."

I sat and closed my eyes, searching for someone to communicate. I tried Piper.

But instead, another boy stood before me, though he looked almost exactly like me, but his hairstyle was different, his hair swept across his forehead.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Lucas Grace... You?" I hesitated.

"I'm Jason Grace, where's Piper?" The boy looked more confused.

"Who's Piper?" He was sincere.

"My girlfriend"

"Sorry, but I can give her a message if you want" He offered.

But the connection suddenly broke.

"So?" Percy looked hopeful.

"No use..." I sighed. "But I did get someone named Lucas Grace..."

*Aloe*

When I had awoken, Jerry was at my bedside table, talking to Lilac.

"Basically" Lilac was finishing the story she had told Jerry.

"Welcome back Aloe" Jerry smiled at me.

"Where am I?" I looked at the unfamiliar surroundings.

"Camp Half-Blood" Lilac answered.

"Where?" I asked once more, trying to get my bearings.

"Camp Half-Blood" Jerry repeated.

"What's a 'Camp Half-Blood'?" I was super confused.

"For unique kids" Lilac flashed a smile.

"Wait, Jason!" We all looked at the boy who had sat up from his cot.

"Lucas?" I asked, looking at him.

"I-I don't know what I saw..." He gasped, sweat streaking down his cheeks.

"What did you see?" Lilac asked, concern peaked in her voice.

"A boy..." He shook his head. "He looked almost exactly like me, but... you know, different..." Lilac nodded.

"They have been trying to communicate for weeks now, no wonder..." Lilac answered. "Though, Annabeth was freaking out when her boyfriend was contacting her..." Lilac sighed and pulled a smile. "Nevermind... Let us go..."

Lilac got up and I was confused.

"Dinner anyone?" She asked hopefully.

Jerry's eyes lit up and joined Lilac. Lucas and I did too.

We were now sitting with Jerry's friend, Tyson, getting the okay with a centaur, Jerry had explained what the camp was.

"So who are our dads?" I couldn't help but ask.

"You'll find out soon" Tyson said happily. I sighed, I just wanted to be alone to write my poems.

"Hey daydreamer" Jerry played with my nickname. "You okay?" I had been staring off to space.

Jerry seemed happy, it could be the fact that she was talking with her old friend, or the fact that she was used to change a whole lot more than Lucas and I was.

"So I was like, TAKE THAT YOU STUPID BAT!" Jerry talked loudly to Tyson.

"Do you have any idea what they're talking about?" Lucas had leaned over the table to whisper in my ear.

"No not really" I shrugged.

"Everyone! Gather to the campfire, it is time for a song..."

Tyson took Jerry from us, but Lilac joined us.

"She's nice... Does she know Tyson well?" We were looking at them crack up.

"I dunno really" I had shrugged. "She seems to, she's hardly this happy"

I watched her as her friend was clapping loudly to one of the songs.

*Annabeth*

I scanned the crowd where everyone was sitting, it wasnt hard spotting Tyson, who loved the songs the Apollo kids played.

"Oh by almighty Athena on her throne of wisdom... forever more!" I heard them sing about my mother.

But then I spotted the girl next to him, she had brown hair and blue eyes that weren't easy missed. Tyson was really attached to her.

"Are you just gonna stand there? Or are you gonna sit down?" I looked at the red head that appeared behind me.

"Who is that girl?" I asked her.

"Jerry Pillar" She answered. "Still unclaimed" I nodded.

"Annabeth!" A boy's voice called. I turned and saw Leo Valdez make his way over.

"What is it Leo?" I asked him.

"We got it! We got the box you asked for" He smiled.

"Thanks Leo, where is it?" Rachel looked at me, then to Leo.

"No way, Annabeth, you possibly can't-" She warned.

"I'm pretty useless right now Rachel" I said, reaching for the box Leo was holding. "But if I had these, I can go save my boyfriend..."

She mumbled something under her breath.

I tried opening the box, but it won't open.

"Why can't I open it?" I asked Leo.

"I dunno" Leo shrugged.

"Some help you are" I scoffed. Okay, I admit, ever since Percy went missing, again, I've been a little on edge, but who can blame me? I'm in love with him.

"What are you doing with that?" Chiron snatced the box from me and glowered at me. "Annabeth Chase, you know very well that you are not supposed to have this..." He turned to one of the kids he had brought with him. "Put this back in the weaponary, would you?" He asked him.

I watched the kid walk away.

"Leo gave it to me!" I said, pointing to him.

"What?! No! You told me to get it for you!" Leo snapped, and that was the truth.

But I had to go on that rescue mission, with that weapon.

*Jerry*

After the campfire songs, as we dispursed to respected cabins, I looked at Tyson.

"You can stay with me!" He suggested to me.

"Okay..." I followed him to Cabin 3.

The next day, I found a pair of blue jeans, an orange CHB t-shirt, which also contained a pegasus, a blue sweat jacket, and black sneakers. After I took a shower, I was happy to change my clothes. I put my hair into a ponytail. I noticed that everything had fit, even the shoes, but I still found my other ones better.

I threw the clothes away, mainly because they were pretty torn and Lilac met up with me.

"The boys are waiting for us at the weaponary, are you ready to get your weapon?" I nodded and followed her to a cabin that was near the lake, and some boys playing basketball.

One with black hair stopped and looked at me, he was pretty cute. His tan skin soaked with sweat. He winked at me.

"Right in here" I stepped into the cabin and saw the two boys, Aloe and Lucas, looking around.

Aloe was just wearing the orange CHB t-shirt and black jeans and shoes of course.. an orange sweat jacket tied onto his waist. It was pretty cold, since it was in the middle of January. His hair was clean, cleaner than it had ever been in a while.

Lucas looked at me, he was also wearing the orange t-shirt and blue jeans as well, but he was wearing a brand new red sweat shirt, basically saying- we matched.

Lucas's sweat jacket was unzipped, while mine was zipped up to my collarbone making sure I didn't choke myself.

"Choose your weapon" Lilac said smiling.

I looked around the room, grabbing random weapons at first, then stopping.

On this table, there was this box, it could easily hold two hand guns in it. I wiped my hand over it and I heard, three synchronized clicks. I grabbed the box and looked at the two. Lucas, holding a pen case, and Aloe, holding a guitar case.
