Again, thank you for the reviews!

Here's chapter 4… Hope you enjoy. Keep reviewing.

myth freak, what is? :D

Abby-Jade-Love, Reyna is rising in my list too!

For the pairings, all I can say is I don't like Piper. Haha! That's just my opinion so don't hate me just because I hate her. Like I said, Reyna is rising in my list. Maybe it'll be Jeyna. I don't hate Jason but I don't particularly like him either so maybe it'll be Jiper. Of course I won't spoil anything. Oh I'm ranting again. Sorry about that.

Anyway, Percabeth reunion in this chapter! I'm sorry if it's not what you expected but that's just how I imagined it.

I still don't own anything. (Hopefully, someday I will!)

HAZEL

Hazel was dumbfounded.

Leo was the spitting image of Sammy Valdez! For a few seconds, Hazel forgot how to breathe.

"Hazel, Are you all right?" Frank asked.

Hazel didn't answer. She was intently staring at Sammy/Leo. It was like the only person in the world was him. Hazel could still hear the murmurs of the Romans, she knew Percy was in the middle of his reunion with his Greek family and most of all, she knew Frank was just beside her trying to get her attention but all of Hazel's attention was focused on the elfish Greek who probably doesn't know she exists and who seemed to can't help fidgeting with his hands.

Hazel tried shaking the thoughts of Sammy out of her head but she just couldn't stop staring.

It'snotSammy. Hazel thought. Itcouldn'tpossiblybehim!

Possibilities popped in her mind. What if this was Gaea's payback to her? What if that was really Sammy? What if….?

Hazel shook her head. "I said it's not him!" she unintentionally said out loud.

It was a good thing the others didn't seem to notice her sudden outburst but Frank, on the other hand, was staring at her with his mouth hanging open.

"Hazel? Are you all right?" Frank said, with eyes full of sincere concern.

"I… Yes. I'm ok." Hazel answered. "I was just… thinking out loud, that's it. I'm sorry."

It hurts Hazel lying to Frank. Frank didn't know about Sammy. He thought he was just a mere friend to her. It hurts Hazel to know she, in one way or another, is hurting Frank. Hazel was also pretty sure Frank knew she was hiding something, just like how he knew she came from the underworld. Frank knows her more than anyone else, maybe even more than Nico does and more than Sammy did.

Hazel shook her head once more. She focused her attention to Percy's reunion with his friends instead. Everyone had fallen silent when the voice called out to Percy.

There in the middle of the field stood a tall girl with blonde hair and piercing gray eyes. She was looking directly at Percy.

"That must be Annabeth." Frank whispered.

Hazel nodded. The girl looked like she hadn't slept in ages. Hazel saw that the girl was close to tears now. She was still beautiful even when she was obviously tired. She must have been really worried about Percy.

The crowd had parted and Annabeth started to walk towards Percy. When she was just a few steps, Percy waved his hands and casually said,

"Hey" he smiled nervously "Annabeth right?"

Hazel was shocked and Annabeth's face fell.

Hazel looked at Frank. "umm… What is he doing? Just a few moments ago, he couldn't wait to see her, right?"

Frank replied, also confused. "I don't know. Maybe Gaea—"

All of a sudden Percy laughed. "I'm kidding Wise Girl!"

Percy rushed forward and gave her a tight hug. When they broke apart, Hazel could see Annabeth's face. Any trace of tears from earlier was gone and her face was now filled with rage.

"8 MONTHS!" she shrieked with eyes so piercing it was downright scary that the Romans backed away. Hazel didn't expect this at all. Percy's girlfriend was as scary as Hylla!

"8 freaking months and you just played a joke on me!" she said this while pushing Percy. Hazel could tell it hurt. "I was seriously worried and I almost lost my mind and you… YOU! Ugh!"

"You are the single most annoying thing on this planet!" With one last strong effort, she pushed Percy and he tumbled.

Percy sat on the ground, simply staring at her and he was… grinning? He was actually grinning. An idiotic, stupid grin.

"You are liking this, aren't you?" Annabeth said, less angry. "You are such a Seaweed Brain."

"Seaweed brain…" Percy repeated, still grinning. "You don't how much I've missed that."

Annabeth smiled too. Hazel felt really happy for Percy. She could see that Percy and Annabeth were genuinely happy. She was about to drag Frank to introduce themselves but was interrupted by the power-hungry augur of Camp Jupiter, Octavian.

"See? Don't you see? They've come to attack us!" He shouted. "She just pushed our precious Praetor."

"It was just a joke Octavian" Reyna said. "That's just Percy's… girlfriend." Hazel noticed she paused to look at Annabeth with disgust before saying the word 'girlfriend' with a bit of anger? Hazel wasn't sure.

Hazel was confused as to why Reyna is acting that way. She knew Reyna had always been a bit strict and cold but the way she treated Annabeth, there was something different about it.

Hazel thought for a moment, it seems like the others didn't notice.

"NO!" Octavian shouted. "We should all kill them now! Romans! I am sure they have a plan! Maybe they'll attack tonight, when we are all aslee—"

"That's it! Shut up!" the girl who called Percy a wimp shouted. "We're not that stupid. And don't be so sure of yourself, you can't take us! Percy alone can take all of you!"

Octavian's eyes lit up. Hazel knew that look; Octavian had an idea.

He made a sly smile. "You, Graeci are the upstart. I am pretty sure Percy can take all of YOU by himself."

"What are you talking about?" This time Pinecone Face, Hazel didn't know what to call her, spoke. "Percy is still Greek. You simply borrowed him, it's not like he's going to side with you if you are against us. Right, Percy?"

Percy stood up. He looked at his otherfamily and started to speak but no sound came out. With that, all of the Greek's faces fell.

Yeah. That's it. The next chapter MIGHT be up by Saturday. Well, did you like it? Please tell me. I won't hate you if you said you didn't. I'm open to constructive criticism.

Is the length okay? If you actually noticed, it's longer than usual. :D

Review. Review. Review.
