Hello my friends!...no…I have no right to call you all my friends…I have completely left you all hanging for months…I am ashamed…I would bake you all cookies…but I cant cook for my life…but I can make a mean bowl of cereal though~

Ok onto the main point, I own nothing!...saying that is starting to hurt less and less…yaaaaaaay no wait it still hurts. Ok bye!

No ones POV

Sruti had recommended the idea of having the Pegasus drop them off a little bit away from camp, reasoning being that if Xia wasn't full half blood, being maybe ¼ unlike the rest of them, it might be dangerous for her to pass the force field so far up in the air, "There might be resistance and she could be thrown off black jack and well…"

No one argued.

The Pegasus happily obliged, especially Nathan's, who Xia over heard mumbling "Demi gods these days" and "If he asks, 'Who's a good horse?' one more time…"

Lauren's pov

After the Pegasus left we walked the rest of the way. My leg was still slightly stinging from the hydra attack and I made sure to let Sruti know it. I walked next to Xia for a while before spreading out to get my space. I took a deep breath and exhaled. The early summer showers had ended and left a clean sweet smell. School wouldn't have ended for about another 7 weeks but we wouldn't be able to go back. Not now. Nathan, Sruti and I would always go to camp during the summer and stay in school the rest of the year, but after today's events im going to guess we'll be starting camp a little bit early this year.

My mom knows how to handle these types of situations…when the school calls to report my absence she'll just say that im being taken out early, and she'll apologize for not checking me out properly…same for Nathan's mom and Sruti's dad.

I looked up at the full, rich leaves bundled on the tall trees. I do wish life was easier for my mom. Sometimes I wished I was normal, not a half-blood but an actual human. I made a face and continued of walking.

"Were here."

Xia's POV

Nathan, Lauren and Sruti excitedly walked to an area.

"Thank gods! I was about to force Nathan to carry me my leg was killing me so bad." Lauren said as she leaned against a tree for support.

Nathan looked at her, "Ya, and Nathan would of said don't be lazy and kept walking, leaving Lauren there."

Lauren made a fake sad face, "But then Lauren would be sad and would start to cry as you left her there to die!"

"Lauren you wouldn't die!"

"Yes I would!"

"Im not arguing with you Lauren!" Nathan said as he threw up his hands and walked away toward the area.

"…Is this the camp?" I asked looking around.

Nathan came up from behind me, "No, see that hill over there?" I nodded, "its right over there."

"Oh"

I watched as Nathan, Lauren, and Sruti all walked passed me and past the 'barrier' successfully.

Nathan turned to look over his shoulder, "Your turn."

I took a step forward with my hand out. I felt my hand being pressed against a surface. Where my hands where touching I felt ripples of electricity course through my arms. I pressed further. I felt the hair on my arms and head start to rise up. I made eye contact with Sruti for a brief second and she looked nervous. I knew from that look I should have stopped but something in me made me want to continue. Press on further, to try myself.

I pressed as hard as I could when suddenly a huge burst of light erupted from around me. Electricity crackled around my ears.

I saw Nathan, Lauren and Sruti sheltered themselves from the blast by dodging behind a tree.

When the blast of light and electricity died down the forest was quiet. Not one sound pierced our ears. The hair on my arms was slightly singed and the smell of smoke wafted from my skin.

The three of them carefully took a step out from behind the tree.

Everyone was silent.
