Chapter 3

"What is this feeling?"

The morning of January 10, 2017

"You're from the future… Right, look kid. I'm the god of insanity, so I'm used to weird stuff, but even I think that's crazy." Dionysus said looking at the two sitting on the couch skeptically. "Maybe we should just hear them out Mr. D," Chiron says.

The teenage boy was getting frustrated, "Look we are from the future, a very dark one. One where the world is practically gone and the gods are dying. This is important!" He ended up yelling the last part and slamming his hands down on the table. His sister put her hand on his shoulder.

"Dear brother, even you have to admit it sounded crazy when we first thought of coming back, but Chiron, we need some trust here please."

"Still…" He looked up at Chiron and Mr. D with tears in his eyes. "We have lost so much… So many died to get us back here to change the past. We can't let them down."

"Okay," Chiron said. "Say we were to believe you, what do you want us to do?"

The sister spoke up this time, "We would like you to quietly call everyone back to camp early starting in three or four days, but call the seven and Nico, assuming he's not here, back to camp as soon as possible, please. If they came to the past as well, the seven will be their first targets because their children helped stop them from advancing fast enough. Oh, and please make sure it's quietly. They may have someone watching."

"Why in three or four days," Mr. D asked, "Why not now and-" "Because as she said if they came back in time they may be watching the camp. If you show any sign that you know, they will pounce on as many kids as possible on their way back here." The boy growled out.

"Brother, stop now. Look Mr. D, Chiron, if you don't believe us, scan our memories. We are telling the truth."

Mr. D stared at them, "I'll go up to Olympus and talk to Zeus. He will want that to happen. You said we should trust you, but we don't even know your names."

The two children looked at each other for a moment before the girl responded, "My brother's name is Mitchell and I'm… You can call me Maria."

"I'm assuming that's not your real name," Chiron said. "No, it's not. It's my middle name, but I cannot tell you my real name without jeopardizing my own life. I apologize." She said bowing her head.

"You mentioned the sevens children, are you one of their children."

"... No."

Okay, well then what cabin will you be staying in?"

"We will stay in one of our grandfather's cabin. Though we would appreciate everyone knowing us as a child of his, not a legacy. We will be staying in the Apollo cabin."

"Very well," Chiron said. "We'll discuss this with Zeus and then decide if we can trust you."

3 hours later (scene from chapter 1)

"Good evening campers!" Chiron calls out getting people's attention. As everyone quiets down and looks towards Chiron where he stands near the campfire. "We have two new campers! I would like everyone to welcome the son and daughter of Apollo!" Two people walk to the front of the campfire and the girl bows her head in respect.

January 13, 2017

"Hey, Will? Can we talk?"

"Sure, what do you need Maria," Will said putting everything down and swiveling in his chair to face her. Will had been catching up on paperwork since the infirmary had been uncommonly quiet. He was enjoying the quiet, but he missed all of his friends… Especially his boyfriend, who was visiting Hazel at Camp Jupiter.

"I… I was wondering if… Maybe-" Maria bit her lip and looked down at the ground.

"Maria?" Will prompted gently, "You can ask me anything, you know that right?"

She glanced back up at Will, "I was wondering if you might need some help?"

"Help?" Will said surprised, "Um-"

"I mean, it's okay if you don't need my help, or don't want it or something. You probably have way more people you-"

Will jumps up and grabbed her shoulders, making her stop and look at him in the eyes. "It`s okay Maria, I would love some help organizing for tonight. I was just surprised, especially since you've been avoiding me like the plague since yesterday."

"I know," she whispered looking away. "I just wanted to be alone."

"Well," Will said, "Lets get work." He walked to the cabinet and took out bandages and a pair of scissors to hand to Maria. She took them from him and began to cut bandages. Will watched her cutting the bandages. He shook his head after a few minutes when he realized he was still staring. What is this feeling? I know it's not love because I`m with Nico. I want to protect her, but not like how I want to protect Austin, Kayla or my other siblings.

Little did they know, they were being watched. Mitch smiled sadly at the scene. This is what we should have had growing up, but we were denied the chance. We had to grow up too fast and endure too much crap. I'm just glad she's talking to him. It should help her finally begin healing.

Sorry, it`s a short chapter. Please review! Much appreciated!
