Sorry that I haven't updated in a while I just had some writers block and I got my first flame and it put me in a funk but I will prevail! I will still write my story (series now but will come out one at a time) if it kills me!

Chapter Eleven

Things are normal

But weird too

Trina's pov

I sat on the beach looking out onto the long island sound as the sun set. The flag that I won lay next to me. I could not enjoy this moment like I used to because I had no one to share it with. Camp was starting to look worse than I thought it was.

Then I heard someone clanging up behind me.

"Way to make a subtle entrance," I thought.

"Go away," I said.

"This used to be my place," said a voice I recognized.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Go away Percy."

He sat down next to me.

"I would come here when I needed peace and quiet or just felt like coming here," he said.

"How is this supposed to help me?" I asked

"I don't know," he said.

"Then why are you telling me?" I asked.

He shrugged.

We sat in silence as the sun set. Then there was rustling in the sand behind us. We turned around and saw Annabeth with a tearstained face that just minutes ago had been flushed with anger.

"What are you doing here Annabeth?" Percy asked as I whipped around so my back was to her.

"I came to- sob- tell Trina that- sob- I was sorry- sob-," she said.

"For what?" Percy asks.

"For flying off the handle like that," she said. "I was really glad that we got the flag just a little miffed that she didn't follow the plan. Thalia was sure surprised after what happened when you saw a golden opportunity."

"How would you know? You weren't there," he says and shudders slightly.

"Thalia told me," she said.

I sat there listening to this and processing how Annabeth had come to being madder than a bull to being sadder than a wilted flower. I had my suspicions but didn't think they were true. I wiped around.

"I accept your apology as long as you tell me what happened the first time Percy saw a golden opportunity," I said.

Percy groaned. Annabeth just giggled and went from sad to happy in an instant.

"Well the jist of it is that it was winter so there weren't many campers and Thalia and him were co-captains and Thalia told him to be on border patrol and a few minutes into it he must have jumped the creek and headed for where the hunters had their flag and grabbed it and tried to get across but didn't and the hunters won and Thalia was so mad she threw a lightning bolt at him, I guess I should mention that Thalia is a daughter of Zeus, and then Percy threw a wave at her and they got into a fight and Thalia still says that he was and is an idiot for doing that," she said.

"Hey!" said Percy.

"She said it I didn't," she said and kissed him as if in apology.

"Get a room!" I said.

"I can't help kissing my girlfriend!" he said.

"What?" I said.

"I never told you that she was my girlfriend?" he said.

"It must have slipped your mind," I said. "But I'm too tired to get mad tonight. And what am I supposed to do with this flag slash banner thing anyway?"

"You can keep it until the next capture the flag then you guys lead a team," she said.

"Okay," I said and turned back to the dying sunset.

"Bye," she said and I heard the sound of two people kissing again and I almost threw up.

As she skipped off, I looked at Percy with a look of disgust on my face.

"What?" he said.

"Have you been 'socializing' with your girlfriend lately?" I said with an evil grin on my face.

"If you mean talking then yes I- wait a minute!" he said as I doubled over laughing.

Now it was his turn to look at me with a look of disgust on his face.

"I'm not telling you that!" said Percy.

"Good 'cause I don't want to know," I said, still laughing in the sand.

"You are one evil thing, you know that?" he said.

"I'm your little sister, it's my job," I said.

At this, he smiled and helped me get up.

"Lets just go to bed and forget this ever happened," he said.

"I am never going to forget this," I said as we walked toward our cabin.

Don't thank me for this; thank daughterofathena7 who said this after a chapter, but the preview for the new camp-halfblood series just came out!

To see it, the website is and the password is newhero.

In my opinion, IT'S AWESOME! So enjoy!
