Chapter 2
A/N: I'm REALLY, REALLY sorry that I haven't updated in so long I've been so busy and then there was Christmas and stuff hopefully this chapter will make it up to you. Sorry I'm putting an OC's POV but I need to show her thoughts. Thanks so much to all the people who reviewed!
Em
Today started out really well! First I managed to beat Connor in a sword fight, and then Percy arrived at Camp. It was all going well until my dad showed up.
At first I didn't recognise him; after all, I'd never met him before. I was just really confused. How did he know my name?
Then Percy shouted "Dad!"And I realised he was my father. My father was at camp. Percy looked at me and I must have looked scared or confused because he put his arm around me and whispered "It's okay, he's nice, you just have to trust hum."
I was also a little angry at my father; he appears after eight years, no hug, no 'I've missed you', no 'I'm proud of you, he just stands there smiling. He's seen Percy before why not me?
I don't know why I did this but I shouted "Why are you just smiling? I've waited eight years to meet you and when I do you just stand there well I've had enough of waiting for you. I'm perfectly happy with my friends so you can just BOG OFF!"
I ran away, not looking where I was going. I just ran. Somehow I ended up in the sword arena, I guess I'm like Percy, sword fighting calms me down.
I took my drakon bone sword that Annabeth had given me when I came to camp and started to hack away at the practice dummies. Pretty soon I had reduced the first dummy to bits of straw.
"Come on, give the poor dummies a break." Someone said from behind me. Percy had managed to get in the arena without me noticing. I came over to him and sat down
"You okay"
"No." I said sullenly
"You could give dad a chance, I started off feeling that way but I changed and I know that he loves me so why ignore him? He's willing to spend time with you so why run away? It was thoughts like yours that started the titan war. A whole war because a couple of demigods felt abandoned. Is that the price you want to pay for making dad feel bad?"
I sighed and said "Why do you always have to be right Percy? If I didn't know you better I'd say you're turning into Annabeth."
"Oh shut up," he said jokingly "come on let's go to the campfire."
With that everything was better and I chased Percy to the amphitheatre. When we got there everyone was just settling down and I hid behind Percy as he confidently marched towards the black-haired man who from now on I would call dad.
"Hi dad." He said sitting down underneath the Poseidon banner.
"Hello Percy and Em." He said simply. He didn't apologise or even mention earlier, and that was okay because I wasn't sure about him yet.
The Apollo cabin started leading the campfire songs, but I wasn't really listening.
"Sorry," I said to my dad "I didn't really know what to make of you and I just- I don't know, felt abandoned?" I finished. It kind of turned into a question. Oops.
"It's okay Em," my dad said "lots of demigods feel this way, but what's important is that we talk about it and interact with more with each other. I'm sorry that you felt this way but hopefully we can change that."
"Why are the gods here anyway?" Percy asked.
Just then the sing finished and Zeus stood up to speak.
"I think all of the campers present are wondering why all the gods are here today and I would like to explain why."
Poseidon whispered to Percy "I think this will answer your question."
Zeus continued, not hearing Poseidon. "We were at the summer solstice meeting and we-"
Aphrodite gave a little cough.
"Fine." Zeus continued "Aphrodite had an Idea that it would be good for us to come down to camp half blood for the summer to teach our children." Zeus sat down.
"How do you like that?" My dad asked. In truth I wasn't sure how I felt, but hopefully I would find out soon.
A/N: So the gods are at camp, What will happen next? You'll have to wait...
