AN~ I'm trying to update twice every week. Does anyone ever bother to check up Praetor? Well, I did and it's the commander of an army usually in the field, or the named commander before mustering the army. Hope that helps. Warning! Kissing! Review
Percy POV
Kate and I stole a speed boat, and I swear on the river Styx that I will not let Kate drive again. A normal ferry ride would take ten minutes but this took only five.
"We're here." Said Kate.
"I think I know that." We had also bought (Note the word 'bought') two AS-R 5 Enduros (Bikes) using cash we got for exchanging drachmas at a town near Death Valley. Soon we were zooming through Perimeter road. Rick had informed us that the camp is actually on another island but to get in you have to go through one of the three entrances on angle island. Rick said to go through the one in the abandoned hospital (My troop was taking a trip there and one of the members stepped on a nail that went right between his toes lol) since it was easier to access. Getting there was easy- you just have to ride the bike around the island- but the hard part is getting in. The place is heavily guarded with Roman solders.
"How do you think would we get past them?" I asked. We were already at the hospital watching secretly.
"I don't know. Try shooting a sleeping bolts at one of them but not hitting." You see, I had found a profession in crossbow shooting and is now my secondary weapon.
"Okay, sure." I took it out and shot all five of them in a matter of ten seconds. Goodnight.
"Let's go" She whispered. According to the magical GPS that we brought, there aren't any more guards.
"Were did Rick say to go again?"
"Roof. Ice head."
"Jeez, you don't need to be so touché."
"I'm not being touché just that you forget and cant think of anything!"
"Yes I can!"
"No you can't!"
"Yes I can!"
"Argghhh, whatever. Let's just get to the top." We climbed the four stories and got to the top
"Rick said that the entrance is the pipe slide." Kate stated. She was right. In the corner there was a large pipe big enough for a human to fit through. We put on our armor and I said,
"Secret island here we go."
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
This 'secret island' was pretty much like a nature paradise. The trees and grass were all green and the flowers were growing. If not were the uniformed human beings doing exercises that would have drowning in your sweat.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" We turned around to see a boy probably a year younger than me with blonde hair and electric blue eyes just like Thalia point a gladius at us. A crowd started to attract so I started to take my crossbow Hailstorm out but then Kate put her hand on my shoulder motioning for me to give peace. I shrugged and put it away. Then Kate yelled,
"We come in piece." Mutterings. "We would like to see Lupa." A huge wolf came out of the crowd and publicly mind talked,
What did you come here for?
This time I said, "The gods have sent us for uniting the Greek and Roman Camps."
What are you talking about? There is no 'other camp'.
"The gods have decided that this secret is kept away for too long. It's time you let the campers into the light."
"What is he talking about?"
"There's another camp?"
"Lupa! Is this true?"
Silence! We will speak of this in the headquarters. Praetors, into the building, now!
After some discussion, the verdict hat they will send a few to go to the Greeks about peace.
Campers! The counsel has decided that a quest will be made they will leave in the next three days. This quest is special-without a prophecy. She turned to us. You two can sleep in the guest room in the headquarters.
We had to sleep in the same room. It was awkward, but we had grow close over the past week. Two days had already passed and I we were already in bed I was on the couch, since I let Kate have the bed. I closed my eyes into a dreamless sleep.

Kate POV
I was already awake, and I went to check out Percy. We had grow exceptionally close and I have developed feelings for him. I kneeled on the floor by the couch watching him sleep. How much I want to kiss him. His eyes shot open. Crap. I started to turn away but he grabbed my hand and pulled himself down onto the floor with me. Then we both smashed our lips together. By the time we were done, we were both panting. I said,
"I've been wanting to do that for a long time."
"Me too."

Jason (Thalia's brother), his girlfriend Reyna, Bobby, Gwen, Hazel, and Dakota were coming with us. We were going to leave through a Honda van, with Percy driving. We all loaded in with the Romans in the back and me in the passenger seat. After our make-out this morning we had officially become girlfriend and boyfriend. I was so happy even though we only knew each other for a week.
We were driving to the San Francisco Airport. The metal that I have on is leather and stainless steel, and Percy has leather, copper, and thin obsidian. In other words, we are a metal detector magnet even though the mortals can't see it. Good thing the forge workers thought it through and one of the features is blocking all sorts of things that could detect it in a mile radius.
"These are your tickets guys. Hold onto them tight or you won't get a plane ride." I told our little 'group'.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
The ride to Camp half-blood was easy. All we had to do is hi-jack a van and we're off! Percy was still the driver and had full armor on and was gripping the steering wheel hard. He told me what happened there and I knew how much he didn't want to go.

Percy POV
Camp half-blood.
"We're here." We loaded out. I hung out in the back of the group with Kate in the front leading. We walked past the barrier and Chiron ran and other demi-gods ran up to us. Two of which are Annabeth and Jack.
"What do you want? If nothing, get out of my camp!" Yelled Jack. I specifically told the Romans and Kate not to mention me and if the subject is brought up then to go with the flow and not let the secret leak.
Jack continued to yell insults until I got fed up. I took out my crossbow and shot a bolt, grazing the skin on his cheek.
"Ahh!" He yelled.
"Jack!" cried Annabeth and started to act so motherly around him like asking if he was ok one too many times. Then, everyone slowly turned around to me where Hailstorm was still pointing the direction.
"Get him!" yelled Annabeth and she jumped at me with her dagger out. I dropped hailstorm and brought out riptide and sparred at her. Eventually I knocked her out and started fighting the others. Dodge, slash, dodge, kick, and the list goes on and on. Arrows and daggers were everywhere until I created a frost wave that knocked them all onto the ground.
"What are you?" Asked Chiron.
"I am a frost dragon shape shifter, part of the mystic counsel, and the last legendary. I am your worst enemy."

After that 'incident' the camp let me in. Everyone except Kate and the Romans avoided me. Thalia got reunited with her brother and vice versa. We already had a few council meetings and the verdict is that the Romans and Greeks will unite with a built teleportation devise between the two camps. Lupa agreed.
Whenever I step outside the temporary tents, I always keep armor on. The campers don't miss me except Thalia and Nico. I asked them both why and they both said I was like a brother for them, and they sorta hate Annabeth for leading the campers into my betrayal.
One day I asked them and Kate to the beach.
"Why did you bring us here Frostdusk (My 'other' name)?" asked Thalia
"I prefer Percy now." I replied and took of my helmet.
"Seaweed brain! Where have you been?"
"Don't tell anyone. Swear on the river Styx."
"We swear. But why?"
"Because I hate them now and they don't care about me."
"Oh"
"There's something I want to show you." I said. Then I started to transform into a dragon.
"Holy Zeus!" Then, in my load, deep dragon voice I roared,
"Climb aboard." With Kate, Nico, and Thalia on me I explained while cruising around long island sound.
"I still think you should tell the campers." Thalia stated.
"Maybe she's right Percy. It's not like you can keep this secret forever." That came from Kate.
"*Sigh* Fine. Let's head back."
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Let's say dragons are not welcome here. This kid named Leo started blasting fire at me but I just froze it. Yes, I can freeze fire.
"Thalia, what exactly are you doing on that dragon?"
"Oh, he's not 'dragon' he's Percy."
DunDunDunDunnnnnn, they know now. Stay tuned and review. Happy face
