AN: Hey! I know that you're probably gonna (try to) kill me after this is over so I'll get on with the story now :)

Disclaimer: Why must I do this on every chapter? I dont own PJO or HoO *sobs*

No, no, no. Why? How?

Khoine was back, or that's what I thought.

Three flashes of purple, pink, and yellow came before me. I shut my eyes to avoid the searing light. When I opened, I saw... my dad. He was standing there, right in front of me, in the flesh and blood... er... ichor. His eyes were filled with relief, proudness, worry, happiness, and more.

Next to him were Aphrodite and Apollo. Aphrodite was holding Apollo's ear, making him bend over slightly in pain. I had to stifle a laugh at that, but quickly stopped at the pain it caused me.

"Apollo, you must save her." Hermes pleaded.

"The Fates have arranged this for her; we cannot tamper with destiny. I'm sorry." Apollo replied in a toneless voice. But his eyes gave away the regret he was feeling inside.

"But Apollo! You have to save her! She's in love with-" Aphrodite cut herself off when she saw my eyes widen and me gasp. "You know, never mind. But seriously! Fix her!"

"Aphrodite, no. I can't."

She stepped forward, and with the deadliest voice I'd ever heard, especially shocking me coming from the goddess of love, said "Do not defy me Apollo or I will make sure that Rachel Dare falls in love, and it sure as Hades won't be with you." Apollo looked shocked, then hurt, then shocked again. AN: I LOVE Rapollo! "Now I'm going to say this one more time. Fix. Her."

I gasped and started clutching my neck. I couldn't breathe. It was cold, and it hurt, like after you sprint the mile in cold weather.

"Apollo, she can't breathe! Help her! Please!" Hermes pleaded.

"Fine, but this is the only time."

He came forward and kneeled down next to me. I looked up at him with wide eyes. He looked at the would and frowned.

"Close your eyes."

I did and I felt warmth spread throughout my body. When I opened, the icicle was gone and I felt reenergized. I got up and looked at the three gods in front of me, who were looking at me happily, but at the same time, regretfully.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

My dad gave me a half smile, "Skylar, we have to send you back now. But know that you can't fight with your friends. You are needed to heal the border. You must figure out how. I sent back your two friends earlier. They are already at camp, and fighting. We must go now before Zeus finds out. Goodbye, my brave girl. Stay alive."

I shut my eyes as they made their exit. When I opened, I felt a tear go down my cheek. That was almost the exact same thing my mom had said to me when she left me at Camp Half-Blood. And what did he mean fighting?

I looked down. Aphrodite had given me a makeover. But luckily, all she did was fix my tattered clothes and brush my hair and remove the dirt and other particles from my hair and skin.

I grabbed my backpack and turned around. A glowing purple vortex was spinning there. I smiled and jumped through.

I came out a few feet above the ground. I tumbled onto the grass near Thalia's pine and got up a little shaky. According to the position of the moon, it was around 2 am. So camp should be peaceful and quiet right?

Wrong. War was everywhere. Monsters were invading the border and the campers were fighting for their lives. Somehow, none had come to notice me yet and were engaging in many acts of destruction around me.

Chiron trotted up. "Quickly Skylar. Go to the fleece and help Andrea. You need to figure out how to heal the boundaries." Then he left.

I scrambled up the tree until I got to the branch with the fleece. Andrea was sitting there with a panicked expression until she saw me come and sit next to her.

"Oh my gods, Skylar!" She gave me a hug. She was crying furiously. "Skylar, help. I have no clue what to do with this."

I took the flower in my hand and stared at it. I put it on top of the fleece and prayed to every god I knew. Still, it didn't do anything.

I took it in my hand again and stared out at the people fighting. I saw Travis and Connor fighting a dracanae. I saw Katie growing vines around an earthborn. I saw one of the new campers that had gone on the quest bonking a griffin on the head with a flaming hammer. And then I saw him. Will was lying on the ground clutching his side. A dracanae stood above him weilding her sword. She lifted it up and-

"Skylar! No!" Andrea screamed.

I looked down and gasped. My hand had clutched around the flower so tight I had broke it. I opened my hand and the juice from it fell in drops from my hand onto the fleece.

There was a bright glow. It overcame the fleece and shot outwards. Going over and around the border, the monsters, the campers, etc. AN: Okay, so in my head, there is this whole dramatic scene going on, but I have no clue how to write it out, so when you read this, exaggerate it in your head :)

When it finally stopped, the border was glowing. There were no more patches in it. All the monsters that were inside camp and a good 50 meters out of it were disintegrated.

Andrea and I jumped out of the tree and ran to Chiron. He smiled widely and looked around. "I am so relieved. This could have been a whole lot worse."

I wholeheartedly agreed. The campers around us had all been healed, but they were still really tired.

"Everybody go to sleep!" Chiron shouted. They all left without a single complaint and then it was just me, Andrea, Chiron, and Will.

"I'm going to hit the hay myself, but you three can get some food and relax for a while. I see you are all wide awake and energized so sleeping won't work.

We thanked him and started going to the pavilion.

"Hold on, let me just get something from my cabin. You guys go ahead. I'll catch up later." I said. They both said ok and I left. But instead of going inside of the cabin, I went to the back. I just had a feeling I should.

When I got there, I saw a note tacked to the cabin.

Skylar,

Oh my me. You did it. You saved camp! Yay! Now we can get back to the important stuff! *sigh* My new soap opera has started!

Aphrodite

I blushed. Oh gods, the goddess of love was watching my love life. This was not good. But I was on her good side so maybe it'd be ok? Ugh, I don't know.

She would definitely not make this easy. And truthfully, it had only been about two days since I first thought I liked Will. So much had happened since then, but also so little.

I walked back to the pavilion when I heard talking. I hid behind a tree to see what it was and my jaw dropped.

Will was talking to Andrea, his back facing me, and her hands in his.

"Um, I, uh, I... I love you." He stuttered. My heart dropped into the underworld.

She smiled. "I love you too."

She gave him a hug and I bit my lip. I couldn't see any of this anymore.

I turned around and ran. The last thing I heard was a girl's voice screaming, "Skylar! Wait!"

AN: Hahaha *evil laugh* I told you you'd hate me. And no, that wasn't a dream. And so ya, the last chapter is next. This is so sad! So if you want more Skylar, read Robin Hood PJO & HoO Style by SephCurrentDaughterofPoseidon :) Skylar is a co-awesomie! and she is dating Will in it :) so yea... Love ya!
