The bag of candy was long gone. I and the Stoll's just sat there talking until we heard a knock on the door.

"It's open!" Travis yelled.

The door opens up and Katie walked in with Coral in her arms. I got up off the bed and ran to Coral. Katie put her down and Coral attacked me in a bear hug.

Coral looked up at me. "You're not going to leave again, are you?"

"I don't plan on it," I said with a smile.

"Are you sure?"

"Promise."

"Well," Katie said, "Chiron had me come get you, he wants you at the campfire."

I usually loved the campfire, but I was nervous. How would people act around me, would they be scared of me, what if someone made me angry again? I picked Coral up and headed towards the fire with Travis and Connor walking on either side of me.

We get to the fire and I find a seat next to Jamie. I set Coral on my lap and looked at Jamie. "Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied. I knew he wasn't fine, but I decided not to push him. I could tell that he didn't want to talk about it.

I then saw Chiron stand up in front of everyone. "Everyone, quiet down, I have some announcements. So, because of recent incidents," Chiron looked at me and I nodded at him, giving him a silent okay, "Trish is back and we must respect her. She will be staying here, at Camp Half-Blood. On another note, today is a capture the flag night, so get ready and then meet me back out here." Everyone stood up and headed to their cabins and to the armory to get armor. Some people passed me and gave me the stink eye, others completely avoided me.

"So," I heard a girl's voice behind me, "Are you going to choose a team?"

I turned around and saw Clarisse standing there. "Uh, no, not after last time," I explained.

"Well girly, hope you have a good time with whatever you're going to do."

"I was thinking of just healing people who are hurt," I said.

"I'd be careful with that," Clarisse said turning around, "Not a lot of people like you here." And with that, she headed towards the armory.

I turned back to Jamie, "Well, have fun I guess." I gave off a sigh and walked over to Chiron.

"Hey, Chiron?" I said.

"Yes, child?"

"Do you have anything else for me to do during the game? I don't want to play because of what happened last time."

Chiron thought for a moment. "Here, come with me." He started walking so I walked after him. He led me to the arena.

He walked right to the middle, pointed to the ground, and said, "Sit." I was confused but I did as he told me.

"What are we doing?" I asked him.

"Meditation may help you." I don't see how Chiron could sit down being a centaur and everything, but he somehow managed.

"Cross your legs and place your hands on your knees and slowly close your eyes." I did want he said. "Imagine you're on a beach. The waves are gently crashing on the shore, the breeze flowing through your hair. Think about this for a moment, concentrate on it."

We sat there in silence for a while, and it was the most relaxing time I've ever had.

After Chiron and I meditated for a little while, and I was feeling a lot better. I felt full of energy and very happy. "Thank you," I said to him, "I really needed this."

"This should help you relax. Tomorrow we can try to use your curse."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" I asked.

"I've trained almost all the most famous Greek heroes."

We stood there in silence for a little while until Chiron said, "Well I heard that there were some campers who could use a good healer right about now."

"D-do you really think that that's a good idea?" I asked him. "Everyone's either scared of me or they hate me."

"Then prove to them that they have nothing to be afraid of and that they shouldn't hate you. Help them and they will slowly regain their trust in you."
