LONG OVER DUE I KNOW. STILL NOT BETA'D. ENJOY

D: I OWN NOTHING SADLY

I declined Hermes offer of teleporting me to camp. I needed time to think, come up with battle ideas. I am going to have to think outside the box. How I am going to that well… I'll tell you that later.

I have to say though, I missed New York, don't get me wrong I loved Phoenix. Even Forks has even grown on me, but the big apple has the certain feel to it that no place on earth could ever duplicate. It's the concrete jungle where dreams are made of, right? Maybe not so much if knew the truth behind it. A never ending war ground for the immortals.

Aphrodite said camp has changed for the better. But how much change is the question. I've been so out of loop that I'm scared I won't even recognize the place at all. Is that selfish? Maybe, but I guess it's a normal human feeling.

I took a break in the deep heavily packed, green forest. Because even for a demi god walking non-stop for the past 5 hours can be tiring.

I need to relax before I see everyone again. So I let my mind drift to what it was like when I was at Camp Half Blood and it took me back when I met them.

I met Annabeth and Luke at my second year at camp. I had just turn seven and still trying to be a master of my abilities when Chiron called me to greet the new campers. Being the shy kid that I am the first thing I thought to do was run back to my cabin, being the child of the dead, you already have a bad rep, in fact half the camp is already freaked out about me thinking I might kill them or steal their souls or some shit like that and the other half just realize I'm a harmless little girl, I could have be friends with some of them but I have terrible social skills.

So when I thinking of a thousand and one reasons why I shouldn't meet these guys Chiron, being Chiron just pushed me ahead and said I need to socialize, yeah right the Goth by birth socialize.

Eventual I see them. A boy and a girl. The boy was Luke standing tall with blonde hair in need of a cut and pale blue eyes. Looking at his untidy, dirty, burnt clothes I would think he had a hard time getting here.

Then there was Annabeth long curly blonde hair and stormy gray eyes. I could see the fear in her, mainly because in her left hand she was clutching a knife for her dear life and trying so hard to hide behind the boy in front of her.

"Children this is Bella, she will be your guide for however long you may want. Just be careful around her she's a shy one, however I believe in due time you'll open her up." He said to them, but particularly to Annabeth. "Now Bella Luke her is son of Hermes and Little Annabeth daughter of Athena, Please, help them find their cabins my dear." He said and walked away.

"Hi there Bella I guess you kinda figured out that I'm Luke. You okay? You seem kind of nervous… why?" looking curiously at me he kneeled down a put a hand on my shoulder,

"Well people tend to avoid me when they find out who my dad is." I told him and turn my head down to my feet.

"Well that's not fair. To make assumptions because of your dad, Hermes is my dad and I only steal when I need to. I'm not really a complete thief. I just know when I need to do things to get by which is not very often. By the way, who is your dad anyways I promise to ill be your friend after I find out, that is if you want me to." I nodded my head it was not like he wasn't going to find out soon enough. Better to rip the bandage of I guess.

"Hades"

"Is that all? So… just by looking at you I know you could never be like the dark, creeper that everyone thinks your dad to be, how 'bout this I'll be your friend, and if anybody has anything to say about that they'll have to answer to me. So what do say? Friends."

"Sure… if you still like me afterwards that is."

"Of course I will, how about this you lead me to the cabin, I'll get settled in and tonight we can hang out you, me and Annabeth, right Annabeth."

"Sure I guess if only you want to… Bella?" her timid voiced murmured just by looking at her you could tell that she must have had a ruff life, a long hard life of being unwanted, I got that felling sometimes with mortals they just acted weird to me. But I had the dead no matter how cultish that might seem they were there for me.

"Yeah I do, meet me at the mess hall for dinner. Trust me you'll find me."

Oddly enough after I took her and Luke to their cabins, on the way, the conversation just flowed among us. They asked how life was like as a demi god, specifically more of how it's like being Hades' daughter and living alone in that creepy ass cabin of mine. And for the first time in my life I didn't feel like they were going to judge me, like I can honestly trust these people and friendship is ahead.

I was rapidly knocked out of my thoughts when I hear a loud hissing sound. I got up and get agony bearer ready as ii walked from under the protection of my tree to find said noise.

I only walk for a few feet before I felt the ground shake and hissing getting stronger. Only now I van identify its not just hissing but hissings. So I climbed a tree to se and over view. And I am glan I did.

Because it was a hydra something that have complete experience taking down but this hydra is now ordinary hydra, It is three times bigger than the others I have faced in the past. Which means this can only be Leonean hydra. The worst of them all and if that wasn't bad enough it didn't have its usual nine heads but 36.

Well this going to be an interesting story for when I get back.

My strategy is to wait for when it reaches the trees, hopefully I can use` the shadows to hold it down long enough.

I am so glad I thought of it when I did because here's my chance I keep a tight grip on my staff ad close my eyes. I imagine tall winding dark shadows emerging from the ground to capture it and by the sounds of the ear bursting scream it worked. So I opened my eyes just in time for me to see a giant boulder coming my way.

OK THAT IS IT. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK .
