I've been getting very few reviews and I'm starting to lose some ideas or any advice. Well here's the new chapter and I had a lot of tests, assignments and projects! Sorry for the long wait! I also waited for my teacher to have some time for me to edit my chapters which is starting now!

I do not own the PJO or the HoO series

Chapter 9

3rd POV

The sky warship sailed through the clouds as its passengers were practicing in the training room or the library. As Leo and the Hephaestus cabin were improving the Argo II in air, Annabeth and the Athena cabin were trying their best to learn about the ancient beings the gods encountered. On the balcony Percy and Zoe were holding hands as they watched the sun set on the horizon.

Percy POV

Zoe and I watched the sun set. I stared at her face and my heart skipped a beat. Her long brown hair was being blown from the wind, her silver eyes remind me of the moon and her face looked so peaceful and beautiful that I could or would stare at it all day long. Memories flew back in my mind about the journeys I had. I remembered one particular memory when I was 14.

*Flashback*

(From the book Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan)

We were in the garden of Hesperides and saw the three sisters shimmering before us.

"Sisters." Zoe said.

"We do not see any sister," one of the girls said coldly. "We see 2 half-bloods and a hunter. All of whom shall no die."

"You've got it wrong." I stepped forward. "Nobody is going to die."

*Flashback end*

I smiled at the memory and I realized Zoe caught me staring. She smacked my head and I felt like a brick concrete smashing my head.

"What was that for?" I yelled but Zoe didn't look fazed.

"It's rude to stare." She said turning her back on me. I felt my face hot and I could tell she was smiling, so I decided to play along.

"Really? Then why were you staring at me when I was asleep." I teased and saw her cheeks become a bit pink.

"Because your face was very ugly and I was trying to take in every detail." She said to me smiling. I playfully glared at her which didn't frighten her at all.

"You're mean and a big bullet." I whined and I know what you are all thinking. Why is an 18 year old whining like a baby?

"Your vocabulary is awful for your age. Your brain capacity is probably zero." She looked satisfied with her insult.

"You win." I groaned and she pecked me on the lips.

"You're a Kelp Head, but you're my Kelp Head." She held my hand and I kissed her on the cheek. "And you're my beautiful huntress." I whispered softly in her ear. She blushed and we both watched the sun disappear in the night sky.

Percy POV

After the sun disappeared there were stars appearing in the dark night sky. I lit up a torch near a bench. Zoe looked at the constellations and back at me.

"The sun is gone. Come on, it's time for dinner." She said holding my hand. I used my free hand and brought her closer to me by her waist. She looked confused and I wanted to show her that I wanted to be with her in this place forever.

"Stay. I'm not hungry." But of course my stomach just had to grumble. At the wrong time!

"Liar. I know this is a very peaceful place but we can meet here again." As she poked my belly.

"Alright let's go my beautiful huntress." I said still holding her hand. I stared in her eyes with a smile as I walked to the door. She mischievously smiled and my face was smashed by the door. I groaned touching my face.

"You're a Kelp Head." She shook her head.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we established that." I waved my hand. She laughed and I felt warmth, her laugh was soft, happy and musical to my ears. "Percy, we're going to be late!" she grabbed my hand as well rushed through the halls and for the first few days from that 'incident' I grasped the true meaning of happiness again.

3rd POV

As Zoë and Percy walked in to the cafeteria, they were greeted by their friends.

"You won't mind I sit with the hunters?" Zoë asked as the hunters were giving if-you-say-no-you-will-regret-it glare at Percy.

"Yeah sure. I need to talk to my friends anyways." Percy chuckled at the hunters as they had smiles on their faces.

"So… Perce, mind filling me in?" Nico asked innocently while Percy blushed and smacked Nico's head. "Oh, shut up."

Percy and his friend walked to their table only to be greeted again by his old friends. Percy sat on a wooden chair beside Nico and started telling how he met made him uncomfortable.

Meanwhile… Zoë told her sisters on how she no longer a constellation and the journeys she had with Percy. Silence surrounded the two groups as the campers listened to their stories.

Percy POV

I was glad that I finished my story and starting eating whatever was on my plate. Whenever my friends weren't watching me, I would steal a few glances at Zoë. She looked joyful and had a big smile on her face. The hunters treated Zoë like a family.

That word, family seems so distant that I don't even recognize its meaning. My own father chose my half-brother over me and my former girlfriend, Annabeth. My mom and step-father were up in Canada with their new baby. But that was the past. I slowly felt anger building up in me. I fought two wars for the gods, gave up godhood for my girlfriend only to be stabbed in the back! I didn't fight the evil for fame or power; I just wanted a happy ending.

I've always dreamed of having kids with my love, start a family and I dunno… get a dog and get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately for me, that future is gone.

I realized I had tears in my eyes and my friends looked worried for me. "Hey Perce? What's wrong man?" My best friend, Nico asked. "What's not wrong?" I asked back and I stood up.

"I need some rest." I said and walked to my room. The shower room wasn't being used at the moment and I entered. Once I locked the door, I stripped my clothes off and let the water pour on me.

Well that's the end of the chapter! I'm not getting any advice or reviews at all! Barely! I was thinking of making this story at least 30K and then make a sequel.. But with the views getting lower and lower and so as the reviews, I don't know if I should discontinue or rewrite.
