Rose's POV

After waking up, and talking to Ethan for awhile, I heard a voice I didn't recognize.

"Oh good. You're awake. Everyone was starting to get worried." I had never seen this person..er...saytr. He looked like an older version of Ethan.

"Yeah. Um...sorry for asking, but who...?" I raised an eyebrow, and turned to Ethan. Who immediately responded.

"Oh yeah! I guess I should introduce you two. Um, well, Rose, this is my dad, and dad, this is Rose. He patched you up." Ethan concluded with a smile on his face.

Okay. I guess that makes sense. It was his dad who told Ethan to take us to the cave.

I glanced around, because I hadn't really gotten a clear picture of my surroundings up until now.

I was in a cave, and Mack was asleep on the other side. The remnants of a fire sat outside the opening of the cave, and the forest seemed to go on for miles.

The woman with blond hair that I saw before I passed out was also standing outside, next to a man with dark, raven hair.

Everything already looked to be packed, which probably meant we would be leaving at any moment. I turned back to Ethan's dad.

"Well, thanks for patching me up Mr...?"

"Underwood." he replied with a smile. What.

It took me a minute to process what he said. A look of pure shock crossed my face, while both saytrs laughed.

"Y-you mean...Your..." I said, trying to get the words out. I turned to Ethan, and slapped him on the arm.

"Ow!"

"Ethan! Why didn't you say anything!" He just shrugged.

"Well it's not like I could've been, 'oh hey guys. You know how you always say you wish you were demigods? Well you possibly are. Oh yeah. And I'm the son of your favorite book character's best friend of all time. Nice talking to you guys too.'" Okay. He made a fair point.

"Well you could've told us when we found out." he raised an eyebrow.

"Oh. Well I'm sorry it never came up because we were always on the run, and trying to stay alive." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah yeah. Okay. I get it. Anyways, thanks Mr. Underwood for healing my leg." I said, giving him a genuine smile. He smiled back.

"It's really not a problem at all." he looked at his watch, "Well, we should probably get going within the hour, but if you need more time, we can wait a bit. Just let me know. Ethan, you should probably go wake up your other friend." with that, he walked away, leaving me to question Ethan.

"So. You know Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase." he nodded, silently. We stayed like that for a few seconds.

"Well this isn't weird at all." he shook his head.

"If you're still thinking about the fact that I didn't tell yo-"

"No. No. Of course I'm not. My two biggest idols of all time are over there, and my friend is basically related to them. It doesn't bother me one bit that you didn't happen to mention anything about it. At all." I said over dramatically. Ethan just snorted and rolled his eyes. I smiled.

My gaze traveled down to my leg. A thought crosses my mind.

"Hey, Ethan. How long do you think we've been gone?" I look at him. He seems to be thinking about it.

"Um. I really don't know. I was kinda focused on getting you here. But when we get to camp, I'll ask. Why?" I shrugged. My thoughts wander towards my sister, Camille, or Millie, as I call her.

"I'm just worried about my family, and stuff. It's just..." my voice trails off. I never really told him how my life was at home. I always tried to keep him out, partially because I didn't want to worry him, but also for my family's sake. I mean, it's not your average loving home.

My sister is still young, and she can't take care of herself. She wouldn't know how to deal with...the she devil herself.

I hated that woman.

She was the woman who waltzed into my life, and ruined everything.

Maybe my dad was home, and would stay home to watch Mille.

Or maybe, just maybe, by some unlikely miracle, she would realize her wrongs, and be responsible and sober enough to take care of Millie.

What am I kidding.

There was no way that would ever happen.

A movement from the other side of the cave stirred me out of my thoughts. It was Mack.

"What time is it." She said, groggily, stretching her arms.

Me and Ethan glance at each other. He looked at me, then smiled and mouthed, 'brace yourself'. I gave him a confused look, and was about to ask why, but my breath was knocked out of me, as Mack hugged me.

"Oh my gods! Rose! I'm so glad you're okay! I was so worried! Don't ever do something like that again. You hear me?" she let me go, and I laughed.

"Yeah. Trust me when I say I'll do my best." she just laughed and shook her head.

We didn't have enough time to talk, because the Percy Jackson came in.

"Good. You're all awake. We have to get going if we want to get you guys properly situated at camp. It's not that far away, but it may take us a little bit of time to get you situated, Rose. That is your name, right? " Did Percy Jackson just call my name? I nodded vigorously.

"Okay, good. So anyways, Annabeth, being smart and all, thought of a way to help get you to camp without walking. Once you guys are ready, we'll be outside, waiting." Me and Mack thanked him, and he nodded before slipping out of the cave to go talk to the other adults. Ethan turned to us.

"I'm going to go help my dad. Do you guys need any help, or anything?" Mack looked at me, before shaking her head.

"Nah. I think we're good, Ethan. Thanks though." He nodded before walking out.

Mack sat down next to me. She sighed.

"Well."

"So." we said at the same time. We turned to each other, before laughing.

"Wow." I finally said. She nodded, smiling.

"Wow." we sat in silence for a minute, before she spoke.

"Here, let me help you up. We should probably start going." I nodded.

I leaned on her, as I swung my legs around, and onto the floor. I looked at my leg for the first time. It was in a bandage, but it looked fine. Mack must've noticed me looking, and nodded.

"That my friend, is the magic of ambrosia." I laughed.

"I can't believe it's actually real!" she nodded, excitedly.

"I know! I was so excited when I got hurt, and Ethan had to give me some... and that sounded cooler in my head." she said, with a confused look on her face. I burst out laughing. She rolled here eyes at me.

"We should probably go."

"Yeah." She gave me a pair of crutches, and I grabbed the backpack that was next to me.

She waited for a second as I got used to walking with the crutches, and then we went to the entrance of the cave.

Before stepping out, we both stopped, and took in the view.

The cave was settled on top of a small hill. You could see a good ways in all directions.

To the left of the cave was a cliff that continued down into what looked like a river, or lake. A mile or so from the river/lake, you could barely make out a plume of smoke, rising over the trees.

I thought I saw a glimpse of an orange flag, and a tall tree with some thing shiny hanging from one of its branches.

Wait. That means...

"Is that...?"

"Camp Half-Blood?" Mack finished. I turned to her, and lightly shoved her.

"Hey! That was my line!" she laughed.

"Ah. But great minds think alike. Seriously though. Is that actually Camp Half-Blood?" I nodded.

"Wow. I can't believe this is happening. We're actually living our dreams. Can you believe this? Mack, our dreams are actually becoming a reality." Mack nodded as she seemed to take it all in.

"This really is crazy. Wow." the more she thought about it, the more excited she got.

You know when you're going through a haunted house with your friend, and then something jumps out and scares you, so you and you're friend cling to each other for dear life, and scream at the top of your lungs. That's how we were.

Both metaphorically and physically.

Mack was clinging onto my arm, freaking out (in a good way), and I was *ehem* fangirling not so silently.

We were interrupted by a voice coming from down the hill. We both looked down to see the group, as well as a new addition. Me and Mack looked at each other once again.

"Is that who I think it is?"

"It can't be."

"Oh. But it is!"

"Mrs-"

"MRS. O'LEARY? HA! I beat you this time!" Mack just smirked, and looked down.

"Oh my gods. It's actually her! Rose, I bet they're gunna let you ride on her back! That's so cool!" Oh wow. That is cool.

"Whoa." I smiled. Mack nodded.

"We better get down there." I nodded.

"You ready?" she looked at me, and squeezed my arm.

There was no turning back now.

"Ready."

Then we stepped into our new life.
