I'm sorry to say this, but I probably won't have time for a chapter a day. I'm so sorry!
Thomas and Leo hated each other. Thomas thought Leo was weird and girl crazy, and Leo thought Thomas was over protective of everything and a sorry excuse for a boy. Everyone could tell as they fought, now down four members of their group short. Piper and her newfound half sister exchanged glances as they started down a road. The boys were fighting. Again.
"Shut up already, you two." Zoe snapped. "I'm thinking."
"Hey look!" Zoe knew what Thomas was going to say before he said it. "It's Talore!"
"Not that again!" She said, then stopped. It had been a joke about her seventh grade crush. But there he was, striding towards them. "Get out of here. It really is him!"
Thomas wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. Zoe slapped him. "Owwww.., that hurt!" He rubbed his cheek as the boy came over.
"Zoe? Zoe Miles?" His eyebrows were raised in disbelief. "And Thomas Finn? No way! Why are you guys here?!"
"Uh... Who's this?" Leo asked.
"Oh." he shook his hard and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm Talore Bennett. I moved here in eight grade."
"Leo Valdez." They shook hands. He and Piper shook hands as well. He said something under his breath that sounded like, 'another model' before stepping back. "So. Where's everyone else? Anna, Paige, Victoria?"
"They split. They're in another group, somewhere in San Francisco."
"That's how it's always been." He laughed. "They all run off and leave you in the dust."
"Well," Piper cut in. "That's the problem. We lost them."
"I can help you look for them, if you want." He offered.
Zoe was about to say something, when Thomas said, "That's awesome. Thanks dude."
She glared at him and he grinned, then moved away before he could be hit by 'accident'.
...
"We're in a lot of trouble." Cara hissed as they walked behind the blonde.
"No, you're not." Jason said, and he spread his arms. Behind him, a sparkling city glistened between a valley, so beautiful they all gasped.
"Welcome to Camp Jupiter. My home."
Krysta had a very strong felling of déjà vu. It had been exactly what Percy Jackson had said to them, such a long time ago.
"It's beautiful." Victoria said, smiling. Anna gazer at the city and her eyes seemed to be analyzing every single square inch of land in the city. Her eyes were flashing gold, to the red that reflected the color of the fall leaves framing the view.
"Follow me!" He commanded, but it sounded cheerful rather than commanding.
And strangely enough, both Anna, Krysta, and Cara felt the same thin.
They felt like finally,
They were home.
