Lily POV
We were headed East at full blast.
"Mom, where are we going?" I asked still not sure what was going on.
"You'll find out soon, I just don't want anything following us." My mother answered.
I sighed and looked around. After a few hours, we finally started to slow down. I looked below me, and saw what looked like a plain valley, but when we got closer I realized that wasn't what it was. It was a camp that looked Greek? We landed straight in the middle of all the cabins arranged in a Greek Omega. I swear on the way in I saw a dragon guarding something gold on a tree.
"Welcome to camp half-blood." Percy announced. I decided just to keep it at Percy it would feel to awkward to call him father. "Camp what?" Luke asked. "Camp half-blood," my mom answered. "It's the only safe place for demigods like you."
"What's a demigod?" My siblings and I all asked in unison.
"Okay you know about Greek mythology and the Gods," we all nodded to show we understood and for Percy to keep on explaining. "Well their real. And demigods are children of a god or goddess and their mortal parent."
"But I thought mom and you were our parents." Katie said.
"We are," my mom said. "You guys are second generation demigods, my mom is Athena and Percy's dad is Poseidon."
"Wait," Katie interrupted. "Don't Athena and Poseidon hate each other?"
My parents laughed and nodded. "Ironic, huh, you know Athena and Poseidon weren't very happy about our relationship."
"But, they eventually accepted your relationship right?" I asked hopefully.
My mom just shook her head. "When I got pregnant with all of you my mom hated me even more. Athena, Poseidon, and Hera, came to see you when you were born, but I think it was because Hera forced them too. Athena hates all of you." My mom finished. Well isn't that nice, my grandmother hates me.
"You'll be okay though," Percy added. "Athena hates me more than she hates you, she was probably happy when I…." Percy's voice trailed off. My mom looked concerned. "Percy are you okay?" My mom asked. Percy shook his head and I caught him looking at someone in a cabin. "I just need to go look in my cabin." He said confused.
"Oh, seaweed brain," my mom murmured. "Come on kids let's go meet Chiron." She ushered us to a big house. There on the front porch sat a plump guy wearing a tiger shirt sitting next to a guy with a beard in a wheel chair. They were both playing some type of game of cards.
When the man in the wheel chair saw us coming towards him, his eyes lit up. He rolled out to the steps of the porch and was ready to greet us there. I saw my mom looking down the whole time not looking at the man, and it almost looked like she was hiding herself.
"New campers I see, and who is there escort?" I could tell he was referring to my mom. She slowly looked up and when he saw her he gasped. "Hey, Chiron." My mother said awkwardly. "Annabeth, I haven't seen you in 14 years, what have you been up too?" The old man, Chiron asked. My mom just looked at the ground again, not meeting his eyes. "Chiron, these are my children, Lily, Katie, and Luke." We waved hello and he smiled.
He seemed to be looking for more information than that we were my mom's kids. My mom continued. "Their dad is Percy." The old man smiled. Then he got out of his wheel chair revealing a bottom horse half. "You-your," I stammered. He smiled. "Yes child I am a centaur. Now let's get you tour guides around camp." Three kids were already running up to meet us new campers. "Hi Chiron," they all said joyfully. "Luke you go with Sam, he is a son of Iris, the rainbow goddess." Nice, I thought he must be very manly. "Katie, you go with Ellen she is a daughter of Hecate." Magic goddess, not bad. "And Lily you go with Dylan he's mom is Thalia a daughter of Zeus and his dad is Apollo." Okay he sounded really powerful, and he was super-hot.
My mom looked shocked at Dylan. "So your mom's Thalia?" My mom asked in disbelief. "Yes, ma'am," Dylan answered. "How is she?" My mom asked back. She obviously knew Thalia. "She's good, she's over in the Zeus cabin if you want to talk to her." My mom nodded and headed over to the Zeus cabin.
"Come on Lily let's go show you camp half-blood." Dylan gestured for me to come with him and I followed. The camp was amazing, and then Dylan told me that after the war my mom redesigned most of the camp I was amazed that she could do something like that. I mean I know Eric and my mom met while designing something for the architecture company they worked for, but she was amazing.
I was still wondering about who Percy was seeing in the Poseidon cabin though.
I promise you will find out who Percy is seeing in the Poseidon cabin the next chapter. But, tell me if you want that chapter to be in Percy's view or Allison's (the girl who Percy is going to see) view. And if you just noticed I just gave a big hint to who Percy was seeing. Mwha-ha-ha!
