PPOV:
Some may call it stalker-ish, I call it protectiveness and doing my job. But I stuck around outside the cabin until I saw Annabeth come out of the bathroom. I didn't watch her in the bathroom, that would be wrong. I watched the girl I had been 'hired' to watch. She was just staring into a drawer... girls are weird when it comes to cloths.
Anyway, I waited until I saw Annabeth reenter the main room of the cabin before I left to go find my sister. I walked past the Hades cabin and stopped. Should I get Nico? I mean, I trust Luke, but he loved Kat just like I loved Annabeth, and I would never admit this to her, but sometimes my thoughts weren't the nicest. Should I bring Nico along, just incase my temper goes off the handle. Especially since they are probably down by the beach and the water. Angry son of Poseidon + a ton of water = bye bye camp.
I walked up to the door of the rather creepy cabin and knock. Nico answered.
"Did you miss me?" He asked sarcastically.
"I need you to come with me to get Kat." I said.
"Why?"
"Think about it, Luke loves her. Do you love Thalia?"
"Yeah, but..."
"Do you have the purest thoughts all the time about Thalia?" I cut him off.
His face got a bit paler, he turned his head a bit into the cabin, "Bianca, I'll be back in ten, twenty minutes. If I'm not, come get me. And if you see giant waves and or armies of dead people, come sooner."
"Should I be worried?" Bianca came into view. She was already in her pajamas, short girl boxer shorts and a tank top. She had a red silk robe on over it, but it was open. She also had a tooth brush in her mouth, "Hey Percy. Miss us too much?"
I rolled my eyes, "That is almost exactly what your brother said. By the way, looking good 'lil cuz."
She blushed and tied her robe so you couldn't see her PJs anymore.
"Only be worried if you see giant waves and or armies of dead people."
"Whatever." She said, walking deeper into the cabin.
"Let's go." Nico said.
Together, the two of us walked off towards the beaches. We couldn't see them. Which could only mean one thing. "Great they're underwater." I groaned.
"Well do your thing, fish-boy." Nico said, motioning to the water.
I walked into the water, but only far enough so the little waves just hit above my ankles. I thought 'Kat. Bed time.'
And in response I got a thought, that had her tone to it, 'Fine, give me a minute.' She said. And a little bit later, her and Luke were standing in front of me.
"Gods, it got late." Katerina commented.
"Percy. I swear we didn't..." I held up my hand to stop Luke.
"Luke I trust you two..." Katerina held up a hand to stop me.
"He would know if we did anything underwater." She stated.
"That too." I laughed, "Anyway, bed." I commanded.
"Why's Nico here?" Kat asked.
"You know how I am when I'm tired..." I said. One time Katerina woke Annabeth and I by throwing water at our face. We then hit our heads on the bunk then each other. And I got pretty pissed at Thalia and Kat.
"Yes I do." She said, and she began walking back to our cabin, Nico followed her.
"Listen, I really do trust you guys."
"Why? I've betrayed you before..."
"Do you want me to not trust you?"
"No, but..."
"Luke. I forgive you. You saved the gods, not once but twice. Plus you save Kat. You've earned the trust." He went to speak but I cut him off, "Goodnight."
And I walked off toward the Poseidon cabin.
APOV:
(Annabeth is APOV, Addison is AdPOV)
"So that's the camp." I concluded as we ended up back in front of the Artemis cabin. It was still early and I had just given Addison the 'quick' version of the 'Welcome to Camp' tour.
"Which cabins are which?" She asked, looking around at the cabins.
"Well, a bunch are still being constructed over in other cabin areas, but here is were the Olympian Gods and Goddesses have their cabins. Plus Hades and Hestia." I added as an after thought.
"Well? Which are which?" She demanded.
"The gods are on that side," I indicated the side the gods' cabins were on, "and the goddesses, plus Dionysus are on this side." I pointed down the row of cabins. "Walk with me, tour with me.
"So here is the Athena cabin, where I live with a bunch of my siblings. It's cabin #6." I said as we passed my cabin. "Then there's Demeter's, #4." We passed Demeter's. "Hera's and Zeus's, #2 and #1."We passed theirs. "No one lives in Hera's cabin, but Thalia lives in Zeus's. That's the Poseidon cabin, where I spend a lot of my free time. It's cabin #3. Percy and Kat, have it all to themselves. " We passed the rest of the God's cabins and I told her the god, the number, and anyone she knew who lived there. "That's Hades's cabin. It's a new addition... Nico and Bianca di Angelo have that cabin to themselves. That's number 13, and then number 14 is Hestia, where there are only a couple kids... They are all freshly claimed." I showed her the rest of the cabins until we were back in front of the Artemis cabin.
We had woken up really early, so we had gotten an early breakfast and went on a short tour.
"So what's on the schedule today, boss?" She asked.
"Well, I hand you over to the Poseidon kids and they bring you around to classes. Between you and me, they have the better classes... I mean, Marine Animal Course? What is that?"
"You want to go swim with sharks? Be my guest." An arm snaked it's way around my waist.
"Sharks? Really?" I asked. There were no sharks up here.
"Yeah. We're kids of Poseidon. All marine animals want to meet us, no matter what the distance." He rested his chin on my shoulder.
"Whatever you say Percy." I laughed. He pulled a slip of paper out of his back pocket and looked at it over my shoulder.
"So, I'm here to take Addison to..." he scanned his schedule, we had all gotten new ones since there were more cabins to accommodate. I knew mine, but seaweed brain didn't. "Ancient Greek."
"Let me see your schedule." I snatched it out of his hands. I quickly scanned his, comparing it to mine, which I had memorized. And found out that other then his 'Big Three' classes, when he work with water and stuff. During those times, I had either sword fighting, knife/close combat, or something like that. "We have almost the exact schedule!"
"Almost..."
"Well I can't control water or anything like that."
"Oh."
So together we set off toward the big house where we took Ancient Greek. We met Bianca, Nico and Thalia there, which really shouldn't have surprised me, since they kind of put the Big Three kids all on one schedule except when they are working on things they get from their parents (talk to dead, work with lightning, talk to dolphins...).
Just as we were about to get started, Katerina came in.
"Sorry. Conner rigged the shower head."
"What took you so long? Just use a different shower stall." Nico said.
"Come on. I don't play to survive. I play to win." She said. Uh-Oh.
"KATERINA!" Conner yelled as he stormed through the doors.
He was only wrapped in his towel. And had a bunch of sludge on his head and shoulders.
"Yes Conner?" She asked in the sweetest voice.
"I just made it so the water would go burning hot then freezing cold... not this!" He pointed to his head and the gunk.
"Did you really try to mess with a kid of Poseidon with water?" Thalia asked, "What are you, an idiot?"
"He is." Katerina said, sliding into the seat beside me.
"Mr. Stoll. Go back to the showers." Chiron commanded, finally having enough. Conner left, grumbling.
"Hey Nico, big cuz. You want to give me a couple dead body guards?" Katerina turned to Nico, who was sitting on her other side.
"Katerina." Chiron scolded.
"Sorry Chiron." She looked at Nico, pleading.
"No." Nico said.
Class passed quickly, well, not quickly, but quicker than usual.
"Okay. Which of you is taking Addison now?" Chiron asked.
"We have Marine Animals next. Unless she can breath under water..." Percy trailed off.
"Lightning Tech..." Thalia.
"Shadow Travel..." Nico said, "We can take her if we have to. I've done it with Percy before..."
Percy leaned forward to look at Addison over me. "Don't do it. It feels like you are having your internal organs squeezed out your..."
"Enough details!" I yelled, "She can come with me. I have close combat."
"That will work." Chiron said.
"Okay let's go." I said. Addison followed me out of the room. We walked down to the training arena. When we got there and she saw all the fighting, Addison started her little attempts.
"I really can't! I mean, look at these jeans!"
"Suck it up." I said.
This is going to be fun, little miss spoiled princess training for close combat.
