A/N Sorry for the really late update; I just started school, and this past week has been a bit…hectic. No excuse, but whatever. I don't own PJATO or HOO.
Chapter 10
I'm about to cross the property line when I freeze. I'm supposed to be dead. What if they don't want me back? What if Nico is gone? What if everything's changed? Will Nico be mad that I didn't tell him?
These thoughts all spin through my head as I stare at the pine tree. Should I go? Should I leave? I finally shake them off and step into camp. Taking a deep breath, I make my way towards the Big House.
Chiron doesn't look up as I enter. He's writing a letter to a satyr it looks like. "Yes?" he asks absentmindedly. I clear my throat, unsure what to do. He signs the paper with a flourish and finally looks up. A thousand expressions run through his face: annoyance, shock, confusion, and happiness, worry confusion again, and then back to shock. "I-I don't know….Bianca?" he almost whispers.
I sigh and nod, then begin telling the story all over again. When I'm finished, he opens his mouth to speak, but is cut off by the arrival of someone walking in. "oh hello Bianca. Listen, Chiron- Bianca?" Grover practically shouts at me. Chiron, still shocked, gives the abbreviated version of my story. Grover runs off to tell everyone, and I am left alone with Chiron, unsure of what to say or do.
A/N I'm not very good at "shocked" and "surprised". Can you tell? Sorry it was a miniature chapter….
