Chapter 4: My Brother Takes Me To Camp
Disclaimer: We don't own PJO!
Note: This is in Percy's POV for a little bit and Annabeth's POV a little bit. Let's add in Estelle's POV as well! Are you getting excited?
Sooooo…..last chapter was super short. I'm sorry! I'll try to make this longer!
Happy late Halloween! In your review, tell me what you dressed up as! #curious
I put my head in my hands and sit there.
"Percy?" Annabeth asks gently rubbing my back.
"Yeah?" I say in a cold tone that I didn't mean to.
"Why don't you go to your cabin and think for a while?" Piper suggests.
I try to fight, but her charmspeak washes over me like a wave.
"Yeah, okay." I mutter, storming out of the Mess Hall.
Annabeth's POV
I sit down carefully after Percy leaves the Mess Hall.
"Sooo...what do we do now?" Leo asks.
"Let him settle down and try to think through his thoughts. After he's something other than angry, we'll talk to him." Piper says. She's a person who can understand emotions really well.
"Estelle? I thought she was the daughter of Percy's step-dad?" Jason asked.
"I...I don't understand! The only way this could've happened was…" I trail off.
"We'll see what to do." Hazel soothes.
12 years later
"Estelle?" mom calls out of the kitchen loud enough for me to hear.
"Yes, mom?" I reply.
"Honey, Percy's here."
I immediately put down my pencil and run downstairs as fast as I can. I see him there, my brother, with his sea green eyes and tangled black hair. I run into his embrace and he squeezes me so hard that I couldn't breathe.
"I thought you weren't coming till next week!" I yell, not containing my excitement.
"Well," he shrugs," I wanted to surprise you."
"Percy! Estelle!" mom calls. "I made blue cookies!"
After eating the blue cookies, I ask Percy how work is going.
"Being a marine biologist is tough, but it's worth it in the end."
"How's Annabeth?" I ask him.
"She's good." he replies. "Hey, can you keep a secret for me?"
"I'm the best at it!" I giggle.
"I'm gonna propose to Annabeth next week!" he blurts out.
"Really?! I squeal. "It's about time, young man!
He merely laughs.
"Are Jason and Piper gonna be there?"
"There on their honeymoon in Jamaica-"
My grin fades. I always liked Piper and she was Annabeth's best friend! She had to be there!
"-but they will be back by next week." Percy finishes.
"Will Leo and Hazel and Frank and Nico and Will and-"
"They'll all be there."
"Yes!" I happily clap. Then I realize something…
"Will I be there?" I ask in a small voice.
"Of course!" he exclaims.
"Are you gonna leave right now?"
"No! I actually have a surprise for you." he says.
"Oooo! What is it?"
He smirked,"You'll see.
We drive for at least an hour before we come to a stop right by some trees.
"We're camping?" I say, disgusted. I hate camping!
"No!" he laughs. "Come on."
"We walk through the woods for another hour until we see a large pine guarded by-is that a dragon?
I cast a sideways glance towards the dragon to see it sleeping peacefully. I sigh in relief. I see an arch with words etched in Greek, but I can read it.
It says Camp Half-blood.
"What?" I whisper.
"This," Percy points to the camp,"is your new home.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! You've probably broken your computer by now. So anyways, I updated pretty quickly because I got an increase in the number of followers, favorites, and reviews. So the better the feedback, the more updates.
PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks! Also, thanks for all of your support and appreciation!
