Hey everyone! I'm so sorry for not updating for not updating for so long! Things have been happening, I'm not going to talk about it because I don't think y'all want to hear my problems. Anyway, enjoy the super short Andie chapter! I'll try and write a longer Percy one after this, I swear on the river Styx. Here ya go!

Andie

The rest of the day went pretty smoothly. The green beans are growing nicely, and the corn is being sowed.

There was a fight to breakup, a little who didn't know where to go. One big somehow got stuck in the top of the watch tower, and we had to get a son of Jupiter to get him down. My children wanted to play with me for a time.

I help prepare dinner and set up plates to compensate for not helping yesterday. Nicky wasn't very happy that I did twice the work because of that, but he didn't do anything about it. When I get outside to the tables, Justin and Charlie are talking, but it doesn't look like they're arguing.

"Hey guys." I say, placing my plate of green beans and spaghetti.

"Hey Andie." Nicky says. We give each other a quick peck.

"What'd you do today?" Charlie asks me.

"Oh, nothing special." I shrug.

"Then what's up with the cut on your lip?" Justin asks.

I press my lip. It stings a little.

"Oh, must've been from the fight earlier."

"You got into a fight?" Vanessa asks.

"No, never! I mean the fight I broke up. One of the bigs had a knife." Before Justin can say anything, I add, "I took it away from him, and they both have to watch the nursery tonight."

Justin narrows his eyes, trying to detect any lies.

"Well, the day's almost over." Zach says, taking a bite out of a beet.

"We should have a free day tomorrow." Vanessa suggests. "I have nothing to do, and neither does Zach, so you guys shouldn't have to work."

"I'm fine." I say. "All I really need to do anyway is watch kids, so it's not-"

"That wasn't a suggestion." Justin interrupts me. "You're taking a break."

I give him a confused look. "Why?"

"Oh, I don't know." Justin says sarcastically. "Maybe because you have barely gotten any sleep for the past month or two, and every day you work yourself silly?"

"I don't-"

"He's not wrong." Nicky interrupts. "You really need to give yourself some time."

"I really appreciate you guys worrying about me, but I'm fine." I smile. "I only take on as much as I can chew."

Everyone gives me a skeptical look.

"Okay, I can take big bites."

"Take a break." Charlie starts singing in a high pitched voice.

"Oh no." Justin groans.

"Run away with us for the summer, lets go upstate."

"Stop ruining Hamilton for everyone." Zach pleads.

"We can all go stay with my father." Charlie ignores it.

"You're giving me a headache." Vanessa says, rubbing her temple.

Charlie stops. "Sorry! Are you okay?"

"He'll only stop for his girlfriend." Nicky mutters.

I smirk and roll my eyes. "Am I the only one who can tolerate it?"

"Yes!"

We all go to bed after dinner. I'm actually able to go to sleep pretty quickly. I don't have any nightmares and I sleep well until...

"Nick. Andie. Wake up."

Nicky and I groan, but get up. Charlie's hovering over us, in nothing but some Nikey shorts.

"What's wrong?" Nicky asks, rubbing his eyes.

"We have company." Charlie tells us.

That wakes us up. "Monsters?" We ask in unison.

"Oh no, there's just a large group of gods-worshipers outside the wall."

Nicky and I groan, but this time not from being woken up. The last time some gods-worshippers came here, well, let's just say it wasn't pretty.

We get up and leave the bigs room as quickly and quietly, not bothering to change out of our pajamas. Justin, Zach, and Essa are already up and in the main area, also in there pjs. Justin tosses me my bow and arrows, and Vanessa gives Nicky his sword.

"I vote we punch these motherfucking gods-worshippers into next week." Justin suggests.

"I'm with Justin." Charlie says.

"Wow, you two agreed on something?" I ask, surprised.

"I know." Charlie grins. "That's rarer than a total solar-eclipse."

"That solar eclipse was kind of disappointing." Vanessa comments.

"That's because we only got a partial eclipse." Zach tells her. "Now if it was a total eclipse-"

"Stop talking about Artemis and Apollo having a conversation on the job!" Justin says loudly. "Are we going to fight these guys or no?"

"I vote no." Nicky says.

"What?" Charlie and Justin ask in unison.

"Let me finish!" Nicky pleads. He waits, and sense my brothers didn't bash his head in, Nicky continues. "I mean, why don't we see why they're here first? If they're here on peaceful terms, then we don't attack. If they aren't, we attack."

"Sounds good to me." Vanessa agrees with Nicky.

"Psh." Justin pshs. "That's only two of you. Zach'll stand with us, right Zach?"

Zach looks at Justin, then at Nicky, then back at Justin. "Well..."

"You've got to be kidding me." Justin says dully.

"It would make more sense to do that." Zach tells Justin.

"I've never disliked you more then right now." Justin says.

"Looks like we're having two eclipses in a row, 'cause I agree." Charlie says.

"Stop talking about the fucking Eclipse!"

"What do you think, Andie?" Vanessa asks.

Everyone's quiet. Looks like it's my choice.

"I agree with Nicky." I say. "It'll make more sense to try and make peace before fighting."

"I can't believe our own sister would go against us." Charlie says.

"He's not wrong." Justin crosses his arms.

"Why don't we put away the weapons for not?" Zach suggests.

"Uh, Hell nah." Justin hugs his sword. "We're going to need them, I bet it."

"Why don't Zach, Nicky, Vanessa, and I go out and talk to them?" I suggest. "You guys can stay hidden and fight if needed."

"Nope." Charlie and Justin say in unison.

I sigh. "Fine. Lets go."

We hear Simon talking to some people on the other side of the border. "Estelle's such a pretty name."

"SIMON!" Justin shouts.

Simon jumps when he hears Justin. "Oh, hey Justin."

"Why are you talking to the gods-worshippers?" My brother asks, fuming.

Simons eyes grow wide. "I didn't know that. Charlie just said to not let them in!"

"Why didn't you tell him?" Zach asks Charlie.

Charlie shrugs. "I had to hurry?"

"It doesn't matter." I stop them before Justin decides that's a good enough excuse to fight him. "Simon, open the gate and you can head on to bed!"

"Thanks Andie!" Simon opens the gate, then shouts to the god-worshippers. "I'm not supposed to help you out, but beware Justin!"

"SIMON, GET DOWN HERE, YA BASTARD!"

"Justin, stop shouting!" I order him. He growls, but stops.

Simon gets down from the tower, then quickly says, "Thanks Andie." Then runs off.

Alright, lets talk to the god-worshippers.
