So here we are in 2020 folks let's see what this decade brings. I'd like to say thanks to LoveKitaSoMuch for the review

Chapter 5

After lunch Percy and Annabeth took me back to the Poseidon cabin and led me to a small fountain in the back of the room which I hadn't noticed before. The sun came through a window and shone on to the water which Percy manipulated into a fine mist creating a rainbow. Annabeth took a gold coin out of her pocket and said "Iris, Goddess of the rainbow sometimes carries messages for us across long distances and it's quicker than using Hermes Mail." as she handed the coin to me I asked "What is this?"

"Gold Drachma, the official currency of Olympus." Percy replied as I turned to face the fountain and asked "What do I do now?"

"Toss the Drachma into the mist and ask Iris to accept your offering and to show you Mark." Annabeth explained so I took a deep breath and said "Iris, Goddess of the rainbow accept my offering and show me Mark Bell in Crawcrook, North East England." then tossed the coin into the mist which shimmered and then showed Mark in his bedroom reading. I looked at my watch which read twenty past twelve so It was late afternoon. "Hey Mark." I said which caused him to jump and scream then he looked up and saw me. "Amelia?" he said getting up.

I laughed and said "Yes it's me you're not going crazy" he laughed as well and it sent shivers down my spine then he said "Where are you I got a call from your mam yesterday afternoon saying you'd been accepted at some summer camp in America." I didn't expect Mam to tell him so soon so I said "Yeah it's my second day and it's in, actually where are we?"

"Long Island about 2 and a half hours from New York." Percy said as I turned back to Mark and said "What he said." Mark looked slightly jealous then brightened up as he said "What kind of summer camp is it then?" I faltered for a second then said "That's what I wanted to tell you. You see the Greek Gods exist and they're still having kids with humans including me and the camp I'm at is for those children and there's even Romans." Mark looked as shocked as I probably did then said "Wait a minute, are you saying your dad's a god?" I nodded with a smile and said "Yeah Poseidon and what's more I have a brother."

"This is my brother Percy and his girlfriend Annabeth daughter of Athena, Percy, Annabeth, this is my best friend Mark." "Hey." Mark said and waved. Percy waved back and said "Hey, what's up." Annabeth waved as well and said "Hello."

"So why did you want to tell me you're a Half-Blood anyway?" Mark asked. "Cause you're my best friend, if I can't tell you who can I tell?" I replied. Mark cocked his head like he always does when he's thinking and said "That is a good point, I appreciate the kind of trust you have in me." I smiled at my best friend and said "I'll always trust you Mark." Mark smiled back gratefully then took a few steps forward and asked "What is this anyway?" peering at the image as if trying to get a better look.

"We call it an Iris Message or IM for short" Percy replied and I found myself thinking that makes sense.

"Iris, as in Goddess of the Rainbow?" Mark asked.

"Yeah she sometimes carries messages for us, it's very convenient." Annabeth replied as Mark nodded and said "Yeah I can imagine it would be. So I'll see you face to face at the end of summer then Amelia?" I nodded and replied "You sure will and I'll send you another IM sometime."

"I'd like that, bye." Mark said and waved again. "Bye." I replied and Percy waved his hand through the mist and the image disappeared. "He seems like a nice guy." Percy said as we walked out of the cabin. "Yeah I like him and Hazel was right him being cute." Annabeth added and Percy pouted like a little kid and said "I thought you found me cute." Annabeth laughed and said "I find gorgeous Seaweed Brain." Percy smiled at this and said "I find you gorgeous too Wise Girl." they kissed and it soon turned into a full make out session.

As I turned around I thought Nico was right. I looked around and noticed a little girl of about 8 sitting alone by the fire pit so I walked over to her and sat down. She looked at Percy and Annabeth, laughed and said "Don't worry you'll get used to it." I followed her gaze and said "I'm sure I will." then turned back to her and asked "So are you new here to?"

"Not exactly." she replied and turned to look at me and that's when I noticed instead of eyes there were small red flames. I probably have been scared but weirdly I wasn't because the flames were warm and cosy and inviting. That's when something clicked in my head and I tentatively asked "You're Hestia aren't you?" the Goddess smiled at me and said "Yes I am and I can't help but agree with Chiron about seeing so many new campers. I am also very happy to see everyone who survived the Titan and Giant Wars smiling again." I nodded unsurely at her as I tentatively said "A couple of people at Capture the Flag last night mentioned something called the Titan War as well so I was wondering what exactly happened?"

"I'm afraid that's not really our place to say Amelia." Dad said which made me jump because I hadn't heard him arrive but Hestia smiled up at him and said "Hello Poseidon." Dad smiled warmly down at Hestia and said "Hello Hestia." as Percy and Annabeth came over and I mentally slapped myself for forgetting that Hestia is technically my aunty. "Dad." Percy said. "Lord Poseidon." Annabeth said and I noticed they both sounded very frosty this time then they both bowed to Hestia and said "Lady Hestia." Hestia bowed back and I noticed Percy and Annabeth sounded much more respectful toward Hestia as Percy said "C'mon Amelia we'll give a bit of sword training before dinner."

As we walked away Hestia said "Take good care of her you two, I have a good feeling about her, and Amelia tell your friend Mark I said hello and not to worry, things will start to look up for him soon." she smiled kindly as we all bowed and Percy said "We'll try Lady Hestia."

"I'll give Mark your message when next time I send him an IM My Lady." I added and as I as led to the arena I wondered why Hestia said that.

Sorry for such a short chapter folks but I just wanted to build the friendship between Amelia and Mark a bit more
