The beginning of a journey part two
(Still flashback)
I ran to the cabin and collected my bag and started packing.
'Where are you going?' Various people asked me.
'Um, to my mortal brother's house in Washington'
'Hay, guys, stop crowding her, alright?' Nico's voice said sharply. Everybody rapidly left.
'They're still scared of you even though I told them that you are as harmless as Mrs. O'Leary, and then I remembered that everybody thinks that Mrs. O'Leary is a man-eating hellhound,' I said.
'She is,' he said as he helped me pack in my photos of us and friends at camp.
'You know what I mean.
'Who wouldn't be scared of a guy who can summon skeletons and whatnot?' Nico laughs.
We finish packing and sit against the wall that my bed is set against and hold hands. Let me make it quite clear. Nico and I are not dating. We already made a friendship that not even Kronos can break in the Lotus Casino. Nico is like my bread and water or maybe just my water. Like I said, we have an empathy link.
'Maree, I have something to show you,' Nico's eyes showed happiness.
'What is it?' I asked warily. He led me outside.
'Hawkeye,' he whispered. A cry came from above and I balled my fists, ready to use my sun power. But, Nico stopped me as the figure came closer. It was an eagle.
'An eagle, named Hawkeye?' I asked skeptically.
'Yeh, he's for you. I found him in the Underworld. He did not look happy there,'
'Thanks,' I said.
'Come on. We have to say goodbye to the others,' Nico's voice grew thick with emotion. We walked to the clearing where my whole cabin was standing, and my friends. Chiron saw me first and galloped to where we were walking. He bent down and hugged me. My whole cabin gave me individual hugs. Percy was next. He wished me well. Tyson gave me a mobile of hippocampi and hugged me so hard that I was choking. Annabeth hugged me and started to cry. She went to Percy and held onto him. He rubbed her back Grover hobbled over and handed me a tin can. Thalia wished that I would kill as many monsters as possible. As she hugged me, she whispered to me that she would look after Nico. Nico and I got into the car. He was driving. As we left the protection of the camp, I broke down and started crying. He grabbed my hand and we travelled to the airport.
-At the airport—
We looked at each other as we stood outside. Hawkeye had already flown away. He would meet me at the Forks airport. Nico looked at me and enveloped me into a hug against the wall. I realised that we were both crying.

I wake up to find tears streaking down my face.
'Are you alright, dearie?' The woman sitting next to me asks me.
'Yeh, I just had a memory of how I had to say goodbye to my friends. Could you tell me where we are now?' I ask her.
'We have just arrived in Forks. We'll be at the airport now.' She smiles at me.
'Thank you,' I study the woman out of the corner of my eye. When you are a demigod, you can never trust anybody. She had red hair, unusual red eyes and sharp teeth. Her beauty was unnatural, I suppose. We get out of the plane, and I get my suitcases. My brothers: Edward, Jasper and Emmett were looking at me.
'Maree!' Emmett yelled as he pulled me into a bear-like hug.
'Ow, Emmett, respect the goods!' I muttered. He grins and lets me go. When I was attacked by Emmett, I felt a feeling that he was keeping a secret from me.
'Maree,' Jasper says, respectfully.
'Jasper,' I decide to try my mind skills more. I shook his hand. It was abnormally cold. His subconscious (I suppose) felt as if he had a dozen different emotions in it, and he was wondering which emotion to try out.
'Edward, I'm confused. The last time I saw you was a few years ago, when you were graduating. But you look as if you hadn't aged a day. I know the reason for me not aging, but what's your reason?' I look at him with tired eyes.
'We'll discuss this at home.' He picked up my suitcase and we walked to the entrance, me jiggling my drachmas along the way. I stopped to a halt. Jasper looked at m curiously. I whispered:
'Hawkeye,' he (Hawkeye) screeched and flew to my open arm. Edward started to make a sound like Mrs. O'Leary when you have her chew toy and you don't want to give it back.
'Edward,' Jasper warned him. Edward straightened up.
'This is my eagle that my friend gave to me. His name is Hawkeye. I said sharply.
'An eagle, named Hawkeye?' Emmett grinned.
'I know,' we got into a silver Mercedes and drove away speedily, Hawkeye with us.
