Disclaimer: I own nothing except my OC's
When i woke the next morning, Hannah was sitting brushing her hair. She looked at me and smiled, "the Pegasi are outside."
I got straight up and walked out of the tent. I saw four horses, well, more like horse-ish creatures. The looked exactly like horses, except they had wings sprouting from each side of their body. One was black as midnight, two were a soft silver color, and one was a slight gold color. Hailey was on top of the dark black one grinning widely. Jen was mounted on the gold one smiling slightly.
"so the silver ones are for me and Hannah?"
Jen gave me one of her 'isn't-it-obvious?' faces. "Silver is like the color of Artemis, black is the color of Hades, and gold is like the color of Apollo. Duh."
Hannah walked out of the tent and laughed, "yeah, Colin, duh. Now pick up the tents."
I sighed, "Okay." I shrunk the tents back down to pocket-size and put them in my jean pocket.
Hannah mounted one of the silver pegasi. I got on the other.
Suddenly, Hailey yelled out, "what about Luke?!"
Jen sighed, "We have o leave him here, Hailey."
Hailey sighed, "At least let me send him back home. She waved her hand in a sharp downward motion. The ground near Luke the hound opened up in a large circle. Hailey smiled, "Go on, Luke, I will see you the next time I go to the Underworld."
The large Hellhound casually walked into the hole, as soon as it went down, the ground closed itself back.
Jen rested her hand on her pegasi, "Come on, buddy, get us back home."
The Pegasus moved its head up and down, and suddenly, all of the pegasi started running, flapping it's huge wings, in less then 30 seconds, all of them were high up in the clouds.
After a few hours of flying, New York gleamed. They flown over to Long Island, seeing the camp. The pegasi landed by some stables in the camp. Jen walked straight into the stables. I was a bit slower, mostly because I knew some girl was going to show up soon,and Aphrodite told me to woo her.
I walked slowly into the stables, I saw a girl, she had caramel brown hair, and dark brown eyes. Her skin was lightly tanned. This was her.
She smiled at me, "So, you came back alive. That Ares camper owes me 5 drachmas now!"
Hannah looked blankly at the girl, "you gambled on if we would come back alive?"
The girl smiled, "Ares campers ask everyone to gamble with them. I did this time, and bet that you would come back alive."
I was still staring at her.
The girl laughed, "Oh, sorry, I should introduce myself. I'm Julia West, daughter of Athena."
Hannah smiled widely, "We saw Athena on our quest! She was the first goddess we saw!"
Julia smiled, "Great!"
I finally said something, "Wait, Athena has blonde hair, and startling grey eyes. And most of the Athena kids have blonde hair and grey eyes, how come you don't?"
She rolled her eyes, "Everyone asks that. To be honest, I don't know!"
Hannah chuckled and whispered something in my ear, "Yep, you're definitely doing a good job wooing her."
I rolled my eyes and muttered, "shut up!"
Just then, a girl with brown hair and brown eyes came running into the room, she instantly hugged Hailey.
Hailey rolled her eyes and pushed her away, "Seriously, Olivia, Hades kids don't hug eachother."
The girl, Olivia, snapped back, "They do when their sister has been gone for a year and thought she was dead!"
Hailey sighed, "fine."
Julia brushed the hair out of her eyes, "Well, Chiron will want to know you've returned."
Hannah nodded and walked to the Big House, me close behind.
Chiron was in his wheelchair again.
We sat at a table and explained everything that has happened. Chiron looked startled when we said the last Cyclops bled Ichor.
Either Hannah didn't notice, or she didn't ask Chiron why he looked startled.
When we were finished explaining, he smiled, "Well, overall, I think your quest was successful. We will burn your shrouds and and give you a laurel tonight at the campfire."
Hannah smiled and exited the Big House. I followed.
As soon as I stepped out of the Big House, a boy holding a flute ran over. He had dirty blonde hair was smiling. "Good job on the quest, man! Jen told me everything!"
I looked at him confused, "And you are?"
He laughed, "Oh, sorry, I'm Jay, son of Apollo."
I nodded, "Well, nice to meet you." I started walking away when he set his hand on my shoulder.
"Wait, I gotta let my friends meet you!" he said. Before I knew it, he was dragging me across the camp.
A girl walked up to Jay and kissed him on the cheek. Jay blushed.
Jay cleared his throat, "Colin, this is my girlfriend, Stella. From the Aphrodite cabin."
I nodded and smiled, "Nice to meet you."
Another girl came bounding up, "So you're the famous Colin! Son of Artemis."
I nodded.
Jay smiled, "This is Lani, from the Demeter Cabin."
I nodded and smiled, "Nice to meet you."
Less then an hour back at camp, and I met all these people.
A/N: Well, here it is. The next chapter will be the last -sad music- BUT! Don't worry! There will be new stories of Colin and Hannah's adventures. This story was the FIRST! Probably very soon, I might do a Colin/Julia one-shot where Colin attempts to woo Julia, as he was told to do so by Aphrodite. Put your thought on this idea in the reviews.
