The Forbidden Daughter

Okay, I assume this will be the longest chapter. Because first of all there will be: talks and too much drama. If you think too much drama will kill you, leave this page immediately and at all costs do not come back to actually read it. I'm just being sarcastic here. :D Anyway, I hope you enjoy this very long chapter. ;)

Four days later..

Lucy Russell. Oh good gods of Mount Olympus.

I threw my blanket off me and quickly got out of bed. I was back in Camp and today was Wednesday, the day I scheduled James for the guitar lessons. But I didn't think of James today or any other way that he kissed me at the Olympian Ball last Saturday. I know it was romantic and all that, but as I went through the freaking process. Oh gods, Lucy Russell.

I checked my digital clock and saw that it was 7:00 in the morning. I raked my hands through my hair and sighed deeply. What was I thinking? What the hell was I freaking thinking? I just can't kiss a Son of Zeus who has a freaking girlfriend. That's just a freaking sin. Why am I freaking out? Oh yeah, because my freaking self-conscience happens to be back. Why did it freaking go away when I was kissing James? Good gods, forgive me.

So after merely 30 minutes or so, I came to conclusion that I'm going to tell Lucy the truth – or what if somebody already told her? She's going to hate me! Why am I so afraid of this girl? I handled her before, why can't I handle her now? Well, that's because I'm holding a grudge against her. And I have a secret she doesn't know and I know she hardly wants to know.

What? So I'm just going to barge in inside the Demeter Cabin and tell Katie, "I kissed your boyfriend." That's epic and freaking wrong. How am I supposed to tell Lucy? She's a really nice girl and she treats everyone as a family. How am I supposed to –

"Miles, are you awake?" I heard Carla's voice echo from outside of my door.

"Yeah, I'm awake." I told her. "Just give me five minutes to shower."

After I showered for five minutes as promised, I let Carla into my room as she sat on my bed. She looked around my room and shook her head.

Yes, that's right. My room was a mess. Okay, so I just moved in with all my stuff here at Camp last Monday.

"You do know you don't have room service here in Camp." Carla said. "And today is Cabin Inspection and Drew and I will be the one to inspect."

"Oh good gods," I told her. "Can it wait? I mean at least give it a two for consideration."

"I don't know about Drew, but I'd give this place a one." Carla said as she crossed her legs. "So, how are you and James doing these days?"

"Uh," I stammered. "What do you mean?"

"The whole camp is buzzing, Emily." Carla said. "Everyone knows about you and James." So Lucy already knows..

"Is she mad?" I asked.

Carla lit up an eyebrow. "Who's mad?"

"Um," I said with a pause. "Lucy. You know, James' girlfriend." Those words left my mouth bitter.

"Mad?" Carla exaggerated. "Are you kidding me? Lucy Russell – mad? Now that's what you don't see in a minor decathlon. No, Lucy isn't mad. She thinks you two are best friends and it's totally cool with her."

"But – " I stuttered. "Doesn't she know anything about Me and James.. you know."

Carla's eyes lit up. "What do you mean I know? Emily, is there something you should tell me?"

"I uhh – " I said. "Nothing complicated, just a little cliché and all.."

"Emily." Carla warned me.

"Alright, James Andrews kissed me last Saturday at the Olympian Ball after we danced." I blurted out and I closed my eyes to calm myself.

"You what!" Carla exclaimed.

"He started it!" I whined and it was ridiculous.

"But – you could have pushed him away!"

I opened my eyes and looked at her. "You think I didn't have an attempt?"

"Well yeah," Carla said. "First kisses make you nervous, I know that. And when you're nervous, you don't push away that easily. In fact, you go further to it."

"I know I was wrong, okay?" I told her. "That's why I'm going to tell Lucy."

"Are you mad, woman?" She asked exaggeratingly. "How do you think she'll react?"

"I don't know, cry?" I asked. "She's a gentle girl and.. oh what the hell!"

"Emily, just calm your senses for one freaking second!" Carla yelled.

"How can I calm down if you're – what – making me so guilty about this?"I yelled back.

Carla sighed and closed her eyes, counted one to ten before opening them again. "Look, the only way you can tell Lucy that you kissed her boyfriend is that you talk to her boyfriend first and tell him to scrap the memory of your kiss on the Olympian Ball."

I sighed. "Alright, I will." I sat on my bed and put my hands on my face.

"Hey, don't worry." Carla said. "I've got your back."

I felt a tear starting to form on the sides of my eyes. "I really didn't mean to do it. I just-" I choked. "I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid. I should just kill myself right now."

"Stop talking like that Miles. What happened to you?" Carla asked. "It was just one wrong and dangerous kiss."

"You wouldn't know what I'm feeling Carla." I told her. "You're a daughter of Aphrodite. It's normal for you to kiss guys. Actually you even make it a habit of yours."

"Okay, so I kissed one guy." She told me. "And guess what? I felt bad about it too. Because that guy I kissed had a girlfriend and his girlfriend is a freaking cheerleader." I started to sob.

"Look, you can just tell James that you just want to be friends." Carla said as she put an arm around my back. "After that, you can go to Lucy and apologize."

I sniffed. "She did apologize to me before."

"About what?"

"About kissing James inside my Cabin."

"She kissed James Andrews inside your Cabin?" Carla asked surprised.

"Yeah," I said. "But she apologized for kissing James. And I should apologize as well for kissing James behind her back."

Carla patted my back. "I think you're doing the right thing, daughter of Hera."

I looked at her. "You think so?"

Carla smiled and helped me up. "I know so." Then, she looked around my room. "But before this dramatic Endeavour starts, I think you better clean up for a while."

"Yeah, you're right." I rose from my seat then gave Carla a hug. "Thanks so much."

"Hey, no worries." She told me and pulled back. "Love is complicated, Emily. You can't expect things to go right."

I smiled at her encouragingly. "I sure hope you said that before I kissed James."

Was I really going to tell Lucy? No. My self-conscience echoed in my mind. Yes. The real me spitted back. Okay, so I tell Lucy first before James? Or do I let her find out that I – oh what the Hades! I came to conclusion: Tell Lucy right in front of her – of course without anyone being there. I mean – who would actually tell someone they kissed their significant other in front of a crowd of demi-gods? An idiot, right?

Okay, so I'll just tell her about it in Greek mythology class right after my Javelin throwing. I groaned and rolled my eyes at my Papyrus scroll of schedules. Javelin throwing was never my thing – usually I get burn marks – but other than that, I was just really scared of seeing Green fire.

I finished putting the last piece of my jeans in my drawer before closing the lights in my room and leaving off for breakfast just as I heard the horn blow. I walked out of my cabin to see the others cabins lined up and prepared for breakfast. On the right side of my cabin, James and Thalia were already leaving and marching up to the Dining Pavilion. I quickly followed them as of Cabin two was next in line.

"Good morning, Emily." Thalia greeted me with a smile.

"Good morning." I told her.

"Any plans for today?" She asked me just as Percy caught up with us.

"The usual," I shrugged.

"Ah, unarmed combat." I heard Percy say behind my back. He was holding up his own scroll of schedules and he looked at me. "Now, about that offer I had – "

"Okay," I stifled a laugh. "You and me – sparring later."

Percy lit up an eyebrow. "You do know Poseidon and Hera aren't much that of enemies."

"Yes, well they were before." I blurted and I shut my mouth with both my hands. Idiot, why did you say that?

He look of surprise was there until it formed into a grin. "Really now?"

"Well, yeah." I said nervously. I wasn't supposed to say that to him. But I guess I better say it to you now.

When I was with my Mom and Dad last Saturday before the Olympian Ball, my Mother told me stories about her family relationships: who's who, what's who's attitude, who's better, who's worst and the list just goes on. I took a hint of note on the part where she told me about her and Poseidon's rivalry of being the favorite as youngest since Poseidon is born next after Hades and Hera born after Hestia. It goes on with the population of their siblings in male and female.

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, maybe trying to go through myths of Poseidon and Hera ever fighting. He shook his head and said, "I don't recall any sibling rivalry of my Father except Uncle Zeus and Hades. But we'll see, Miles."

"Oh so now you're calling me by the last name?" I asked playfully.

Percy shrugged. "Hey, Miles is a very famous last name. Mind you though, your Father is Ryan Miles."

"S'yeah, I know that." I said. "But sometimes I just wish people could see me as a normal person rather than being The Ryan Miles' daughter."

We arrived at the Dining Pavilion and this time I had to sit on my cabin table alone. I guess the Hephaestus cabin made it a hundred percent sure I get my own table. I groaned and I face palmed. One day, one day I'm going to nail one of my half-brother's kids in Capture the flag.

An hour later after breakfast, I went to my cabin for Cabin Inspection. Unfortunately, the Senior Camp Counselors had come right before I even made it there. They were inspecting the bed and drawers – good gods even the shower.

Katie Gardner wrote something on her clipboard before she realized I was there.

"Hi Emily." She said with a smile before giving me a hug. Katie and I have been good friends these past few days, especially in Greek mythology class. We know how to settle our differences when it comes to loopholes and misshapenness in the myths. Simple as Alpha and Omega, she's like a big sister. She's – what? 17 years old and counting.

"So," I said as we both pulled away. "What's my cabin rating?"

"A mild consideration for new campers – as Chiron had said for the past six years – we'll give you a three." She said as she wrote something on her clipboard. "There's still a little mess in the bathroom. I think you should go and check it out."

I looked at my open bathroom door, the lights inside were open and someone was inside. I peeked over and saw Travis Stoll checking the sink. Just as he saw my reflection in the mirror, he turned and gave me a smile.

"Good morning, Emily." He said. "How's your morning?"

"Good – I guess." I said and Katie smirked at Travis.

"Travis – don't rob her." She warned and Travis raised both his hands in defeat.

"I won't, I promise." He said as he walked pass me and up to Katie. "Besides, I don't want to anger her Mother. Especially her mother."

I laughed. "Don't worry, my Mom's not that of a Temper woman."

"Right." Travis nodded then looked at Katie. "Cabin three's next."

Katie rolled her eyes. "Of course I know that."

"Just reminding you, beautiful." Travis laughed just as they started to leave my room. My eyes widened. Did Travis Stoll just call Katie Gardner – beautiful?

I saw Katie's face flush just as she turned her head to look at me. "See you later at Greek mythology class, Emily!"

"Yeah, see you!" I yelled after her.

"Oh, and by the way-" She yelled. "Lucy forgives you if you're ever going to apologize to her! She said she's used to it!"

I lit up an eyebrow as I tried to run a little to make my voice louder from our distance. "Used to what?"

"James Andrews kissing girls in this camp!" Was all I heard from Katie before I let my bottom legs slip down and I stared at a distant hearing the last of Katie's words.

Three hours later I was walking up to the Big House for Greek mythology class.

Entering the room, I saw Chiron and Annabeth discussing the eleventh labor of Hercules. The other campers turned to look at me and I caught the sight of Lucy Russell sitting at the second row of seats. She smiled and waved at me – I replied her with a nervous smile.

"I'm sorry I'm late Chiron." I said and nodded. "And Annabeth."

Annabeth smiled at me, her gray eyes gleaming in tiredness. "You can sit down now."

"Thank you." I told them before sitting next to Lucy beside the window where you can see the Volleyball Court. Chiron continued discussing and Annabeth explained some minor details.

I sighed and slumped on my seat. I felt Lucy put a hand on my shoulder.

"Are you alright, Emily?" She asked me.

I shook my head. "Honestly, no. Look, Lucy – "

"Did Katie already tell you?" She interrupted gently.

I bit my lip and nodded. "Yeah, she did. Lucy – I am so sorry. What I did was wrong. I should've just – I .. Ugh." Putting both elbows on the table, I covered my face with my hands. "I'm the worst daughter Hera has ever conceived." I cursed under my breath.

"Emily." Lucy said and I looked at her. She was smiling. Why was she smiling? Oh my gods, why was she smiling? "It's okay."

"No, it's not." I told her as calm as I could. "It's not okay. I kissed him in Zeus and Hera's garden right under your nose. I kissed him and I didn't push him away. I kissed him and I knew it was wrong, but did I stop? No. Foolish as I am always."

Lucy giggled. "Emily, it's okay. Really, I forgive you."

I blinked. "You do? I mean – just like that? No fouling of revenge or anything like that?"

Lucy laughed this time. "Silly, no. I'm not that kind of person, you know. And –" She started to blush as she leaned in my ear and whispered. "There's this guy I'm crushing on."

I gasped quietly, "Really, who?"

"It's –"

"Ms. Miles and Ms. Russell." Chiron called our attention and we shifted uncomfortably in our seats, looking at Chiron with fearful eyes.

"Would you mind telling the class who were the guardians of the Golden Apples of the Hesperides which are the Golden Apples that are Zeus' wedding gift to Hera?" Chiron asked and Lucy looked at me nervously. I nodded and stood up.

"The guardians of the Golden Apples of Hesperides are the hundred-headed dragon, Ladon and of course the Hesperides who are nymphs and daughters of Atlas." I answered and Chiron nodded, almost half-impressed.

"Very good, Ms. Miles. You may take your seat now." He said and I sighed together with Lucy in relief before sitting down.

"What kind of guy is he?" I asked Lucy.

Lucy smiled. "He's one of your half-brother's sons, a son of Hephaestus."

I gasped quietly. "It's just a crush, right? What if James finds out – "

"Oh, let him be for a while." Lucy said as she waved a hand. "He can be with any woman he wants now. It's an exception since he's a son of Zeus, but sometimes he should learn to be more faithful to me."

I blinked twice. "You sound like my Mom."

Lucy eyed me worriedly. "Oh dear, do I?"

I laughed. "Well, a little."

"Ah," She said before shifting in her seat for a comfortable seating position. Then, she suddenly switched topics. "So, do you like him?"

"Like who?"

Lucy lit up an eye brow. "James, of course."

"Oh – him?" I asked, suddenly nervous. Why am I so nervous? "Not really."

She giggled quietly. "I doubt it. No girl misses out on him."

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"Oh, the typical incest that runs in the family." Lucy grinned. "Every girl in camp is crushing on him."

"Well, sister. You better hold on tight to your boyfriend, because there's a line of girls lining up to be James Andrews next 'girlfriend'." I told her with half the humor.

Lucy laughed and I felt a touch of relief settle on my chest. She's the nicest person I have ever met. She's carefree and gentle. Kind and forgiving, but not a one who forgets. I don't think she even gets mad. But I doubt it. Maybe when someone offends her personally, that's when she strikes a tantrum.

"Yeah, I should." She faltered. "I just wish I could find a way to make our relationship work."

"Why, what's wrong with your relationship?" I asked her just after I thanked Annabeth for giving me a papyrus and a pen.

"Well," She said hesitantly.

"Oh gods, I'm sorry." I told her. "I shouldn't have asked. That must've been complicated. I'm really sorry."

Lucy shook her head. "No it's alright, it is best if you find out. It's hard to keep the truth away from you."

"Away from me?" I asked. "What truth?"

"Can't you see the pattern, Emily?" Lucy said sadly but her eyes stared right into mine like she's looking deep into my soul. "My boyfriend is in love with you."

Walking back to my cabin, I opened the lights inside my room and sat on my bed, frustrated. Emily Miles, why did you have to bring up that gods damn topic in front of Lucy Russell? Why? Gods damn it, why? How heartless and self-centered can you be? How prudish can you be? I can't believe you had that damn attitude from your Mom.

I groaned so loud I had to grab a pillow and slam it on my face to refrain myself from groaning any louder. I just ruined it for Lucy. I ruined it for Lucy and for James. They were okay, like any normal teenage couple should be. Until I came – accidentally.

I lay on my back on my bed as I stared at the ceiling. How can things go so wrong? It was just a simple, little plan. Tell Lucy and apologize. After that – nothing more, nothing less. But there was more and it was less than less.

"Miles, you've got a hot Son of Zeus waiting for you in the North Woods!" I heard Carla yell at my front door. I tried to register the words for a few seconds before snapping back to reality and throwing the pillow back on my bed. I rushed up to my door just before Carla could try to open it.

"What do you mean –" I said but was interrupted by Carla.

"You were supposed to teach him Guitar lessons, right?" She asked in anxiety. Carla had a worried look. "2:30 P.M."

"Oh good gods, I have to –" I turned back to try and get my guitar. Then, suddenly at a spur of the moment, I stopped and turned to look at Carla.

"You little – " I tried to think of an offense but couldn't seem to find a good one. And most of my good ones are best to be said in a *bleep* term, since those words aren't really good insult words.

Carla laughed as she walked pass me and sat on my bed. "Emily, your face was PRICELESS! I should get that pictured in my mind over and over again."

"Carla." I warned her as I closed my door.

"Oh Emily, you're too worried." Carla said. "And besides, it's better to be fashionably early when it comes to dates like these."

My face flushed. "Carla, it's not a date."

"Sure it is." She said as she crossed her legs. "You'll both have a picnic, then you'll teach him how to play guitar. Oh it's just so romantic!"

I rolled my eyes. "I'm just going to teach him and have snacks with him. It's not a typical kind of date and it will never be a date."

Carla shrugged. "Suit yourself. But listen, I wasn't lying about James waiting in the North Woods. He really is there. He even has a few papers of Guitar chords."

I sighed. "Guess I should just get there. We were supposed to meet by 3:00."

Carla smiled. "It's better to be fashionably early than to be fashionably late. And when I say fashionably, I am speaking of makeup, clothes – "

"Okay, too much information." I said as I grabbed my guitar enclosed inside a green case and my chords on my study table. "Bye Carla."

"Have a fun date!" She yelled after me just as I was at the brink of stepping out of my cabin.

"For the umpteenth time, Carla!" I yelled reluctantly. "It's so not a date!"

"Whatever!" Carla yelled back.

Finding the North Woods wasn't such a hard thing to do. I mean, I've done Capture the Flag with the Demeter, Ares, Apollo and Aphrodite cabin. So, finding the North Woods was a piece of Ambrosia.

Walking at the shores of the Canoe Lake; I spotted James a few meters away sitting - leaning back on an Oak tree – reading something on a notebook that looked like a music notebook. I walked up to him and sat beside him, settling my guitar case on my lap.

James smiled. "Well, you're early."

"Sure I am." I said before leaning back on the Oak tree. "Listen, about the Ball.."

To be honest in all of this – I have never thought of talking to James about what happened at the Ball last Saturday on Monday or even yesterday. I was too.. how should I put this? Afraid. I was a Cowardess – even though that's not even a word. I couldn't put the right words to it.

On Monday, I would've barged in the Demeter cabin and told it right in front of Lucy. But plan Alpha was very inappropriate and idiotic. Even for me to even tell it to James. Well, for James – Thalia would've kicked my ass out of their cabin if I tell James one-on-one inside their Beta yesterday wasn't either because I was already talking to Lucy – I forgot to tell her about the ball. James was "busy" he air quoted himself because he was doing an oral report for Greek mythology class.

So Wednesday, I was destined to do it for real.

Wednesday.

My first day in camp.

Wednesday.

I had to confront the couple.

What a match.

"Yeah, what about it?" He asked as he laid his chords on his lap and putting both his hands behind his head.

"About what happened to us," I said slowly. "After the King and Queen's dance.."

"Oh," James said, maybe realizing something. "Emily, I.."

I shook my head. "It was wrong. Well, technically I was wrong. I shouldn't have – you know – … kissed you." I sighed and looked out at the Canoe Lake just as a naiad started spying on us. I closed my eyes and counted one to ten before opening them again. "I just really need to forget about – all of it."

"All of it, Emily? Every single minute of your time at the Ball?" He asked, and I was surprised when I heard the hurt in his voice which caught me off guard. "Even our dance with our parents?"

"Well," I stammered, the shock was still there with me. "Not all of it. Don't get me wrong – the dance – it was wonderful, really wonderful. But what happened after the dance was – well, just wrong."

I knew James was looking at me, that's why I am trying to keep from having eye contact with him. Especially with, well – him. Those eyes are just so hypnotizing and intoxicating that it's so dangerous just looking at him – excuse me scratch that, his eyes. His gods damn gorgeous eyes. Did I ever tell you that those were the first things I noticed in him? His eyes.

He sighed. "Well, I should be the one who's apologizing here."He paused for awhile before looking at me, and this time I didn't resist. I looked right back at him. "I did the move. I'm .. I'm sorry Emily."

I shrugged. "It's okay. I mean, past is past, right?"

"Yeah," He nodded. "Guess it is."

"Hey," I told him. "Tell you what, let's cut the drama and get started on that guitar lessons."

James smiled. "Sure, I'd like that."

"Okay, so.." I shuffled through my basic guitar chords. "Let's start off with the three principal chords. Now, when holding a guitar, you hold on to the neck of the guitar with your right hand…"

"So, how was it?" Carla asked as we walked up to the Dining Pavilion for Dinner.

"Oh it was.. good." I replied smoothly.

Well for the record, if Carla were someone a bit more closer to me more than a friend, I'd say it was amazing. James and I settled the guitar lessons as – well, friends. Really good friends. Too bad that little 'romance' connection between us was over. But I didn't have a care now. For now up to my death, I see James as a really good friend and someone you can run up to when you have problems.

Okay I know you're thinking, "What the devil happened to you? Don't you like like that guy? You were all crazy about him at first and now you're letting go?". I believe this is what Carla would've said to me when I tell her that I am so over James being with Lucy. So you see, I just want Lucy to be happy. This is really for Lucy's sake as well. She's a really nice girl. I don't want to hurt her feelings and I have no intention to.

Carla lit up an eye brow and she stopped walking, leaving me walking a few steps forward before realizing her pause. I turned and she gave me a smolder.

I rolled my eyes. "What?"

"Good?" She imitated me. "It was good. Please Emily, I know there was something more."

"Good gods Carla, there wasn't anything more to the word good. I taught him a few chords, we ate snacks on a typical picnic type, taught him how to tune the guitar and that's it. Nothing more."

"Oh, nothing more?" She lit up her eye brows suggestively. Then, she walked up to me and leaned in to whisper in my ear, "Did he kiss you again?"

My face flushed. "What? No!"

"Aha!" Carla said above whisper as she leaned back to look me in the eye. "I knew it! You two are 'together', right?"

"No." I said. "We're not together and I certainly do not have "feelings"," I air quoted . "for that guy."

She gasped, it's as if this is a surprise to me because she always gasps when I say something really simple and true that she just can't accept those facts.

"You don't?" She asked, the shock still never leaving her.

"Yes, I don't." I told her promptly. "James is made for Lucy, not me. They're perfect. And ever since I came here, I became the downfall of their relationship."

"So, you – like – left him?" She asked traumatically.

"Geez Carla, it's not as if we were an item." I said.

"But – you were." She faltered.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"Well, everybody has been buzzing, they think you and James are an item." She said , her face almost shocked to death.

"Please Carla, if you continue to listen to Camp gossip, I swear you wouldn't survive your Unarmed combat with Fabian tomorrow just, well thinking about that gossip." I told her and her face flushed red.

"You're right." She gasped as she twirled her blonde hair.

You see, Carla has been crushing on this Fabian guy – he's British – ever since he came here. He was claimed by Athena a few days ago in the middle of Capture the Flag. He's a really good strategist, and for a son of Athena, he's quite the heartthrob as well as James is. But the thing with this Fabian guy is, he always sticks around with that Nina girl – she's American just like Carla and I – who is a daughter of Hermes. This, much to Carla's dismay was a heartbreaker to her.

We arrived at the Dining Pavilion just as everyone was already eating.

I grabbed a meat tenderloin from one of the selection of foods, mash potato for side dish and a plate of buttered asparagus. I walked up to the brizare and threw the plate of buttered asparagus in it.

"To Hera. I sure wish you were here Mom." I whispered quietly, hoping no one could hear. The fire suddenly blazed into the color of a peacock's feather. Blue, green and orange. I smiled at that, thinking my Mom wished it were too.

Just when I took my seat alone at Hera's table, Annabeth and Travis came rushing up to the Pavilion over to Chiron and Mr. D's table. I got worried because Annabeth was sweating like crazy and her face was chalk-white. Travis on the other hand was trying to keep his composure. He must've had a quick race with Annabeth.

"Chiron!" Annabeth let out a breath.

Chiron stood from his wheelchair (he's been using it these days for common conceptions). "What's wrong, Annabeth?"

"P-Percy.." Annabeth panted heavily, drops of sweat forming on the sides of her head. "He's.."

"Yes, what is it Annabeth?" Mr. D interrupted impatiently.

"Oh good gods." Travis breathed like that was all he needed to actually live. Suddenly, Annabeth started to sob.

"Stoll, please do tell us about what Anika – " Mr. D said but was cut off by Chiron.

"Annabeth." Chiron corrected.

"Yeah, whatever." Mr. D waved a hand. "Wants to tell us about Peter Johnson."

"Mr. D." Travis breathed in before letting it all sink in. Everyone was watching the scene at Mr. D and Chiron's table and all of us prepared for the worst or maybe even the best – I guess.

"Percy Jackson is missing."

Phew! ^^

Okay, that was a lot of work. I had to go through Finals before even opening my laptop to update. Buy hey, now I'm here. Anyway, thank you for those who reviewed and thank you for reviewing some songs James and Emily would sing in the future chapters. I actually checked some of them and I liked them very much. Really good suggestions, thank you for that. ;)

So, Lucy Russell belongs to ilovemybestfriends. And in the next chapter, meet another new OC also created by ilovemybestfriends. This whole story is well dedicated to her. :*

Well, reviews please. And thanks for reading. The next chapter will come in a few weeks or days and so.
