Hestia's Gift
Thanks for the review xXxXCassandraxXxX
^o^
"Your mom is Hestia?" Nico asked. "Yes, is there a problem?" Flare said, having to here that question for the millionth time. "Well, it's just that your mother, Hestia, vowed to be a maiden forever." I said still confused. Annabeth was fine though she didn't ask any questions besides what, she finally spoke "My mom vowed to be a maiden, and I'm here.". Grover spoke saying "Well, your mom created you as a gift for the people she favored.". "Will you all be quiet!" Mr. D yelled "Why don't you ask Hestia over at the fire pit and leave the girl alone.". I was really surprised that Mr. D yelled for a demi god, then again, he owes her mom big time. She gave up her throne so he could have one. "alright" I said "let's go".

"Hestia!", "Mom", and "Goddess of home and hearth" were heard around the fire pit in the main cabins wing. Apparently, a certain Ares kid heard us. "Percy, what are you doing, it's the middle of the night and some of us are trying to sleep!" Clarisse, leader of the Ares cabin screamed. "Shut it Clarisse, we need to talk to Hestia, have you seen her?" Annabeth said as the two eyed each other. "I'm gonna make a guess that those two don't get along either." Flare said. "Who are you? And why aren't you in the Hermes cabin or any of the other cabins?" Clarisse asked, still glaring at Annabeth. "She's Flare, daughter of Hestia, mainly why we need to see Hestia." I answered. "oh, wait what?!" she replied confused, yet she still managed to glare at Annabeth, I don't how she did it though. "Hestia vowed to be a maiden" she finally answered. Nico was about to yell something but it got caught off. "Mom!", Flare was running towards a young lady, wearing a long brown dress. "Flare, I see you made it safely." the lady replied. I figured out it was Hestia just not in her usual little girl form. "Hestia?" I questioned. "Ah, Percy, Nico, Annabeth, Grover, and Clarisse. You all look matured and lovely" She replied "I suppose you didn't recognize me, it would be strange if I was in my usual form at the moment." she finished with a smile identical to Flare's. "We want to know how Flare was created" Grover asked. "Oh, why Flare was made just like Pandora, except she was a gift for me, she was finished when I added a flame from the hearth of Olympus. I got her just a year ago at this exact moment. I decided to let her come to the camp and make friends." she replied. "She's my gift to earth, I wanted a child that would help the people here like this little bunch" she said pointing to all of us. "One more question. Where did she learn to fight?" Grover asked. "Ares taught her." Hestia answered. "My dad taught her?!" Clarisse questioned. "Yes, Artemis even brought her out to hunt with the other huntresses to test her skill and stamina." Hestia added. "Well that explains why Thalia knows her." Annabeth whispered to me. "Well, thanks for the explanation Hestia" Grover said glancing at the sky probably hoping that lightning wouldn't hit him, "But we need to take Flare to the Hermes cabin.". "Well, goodbye!" Hestia said as she disappeared into the flame. "You guys get shut eye, I'll escort Flare to the Hermes cabin." Nico said. Clarisse got close to Annabeth and whispered "Why did Nico volunteer to escort a girl?" "I don't know" Annabeth replied. Clarisse smirked and said "Don't try anything!". I noticed why Clarisse and Annabeth were laughing, Nico looked angry, really angry and Flare was now blushing redder than a tomato. She buried her face in the jacket that Nico gave her and silently walked away with Nico.
