Hello Fanfiction! I'm back! See I have been putting this off forever so I decided that I would write this. Now I warn you that my writing style has changed for the better! I am going to use paragraphs and less P.O.V changes so it's easier to follow. Let me know what you think!

Chapter 11

Marie P.O.V

I am so freaking excited! I love the camp in London. When I was kid, before the monsters came, I used to always dream about going places. I wanted to travel and see the world! The number one place I wanted to go was London. Though the reason was that this was the only other city I had ever heard of other than my home town.

My mom never told me about what went on in other places. She never told me bed time stories. The closest thing to a bed time story was when she would talk about my father or tell me about her discoveries she made when she worked in a lab for the government. She never told me where this place was. The only thing I knew was that she stopped after she had me.

She was a scientist for the government working on making stronger war equipment. As a child though these thing were interesting. Though the second the monsters came after me when I was five. All my hopes and dreams flew out of my mind. The only thing I focused on was monsters. My mom called in a favor from a friend of my dad. I later found out that this 'friend' was a kid from the Chaos camp. Remy (the kid from the chaos camp) taught me how to fight. He, for my tenth birthday, gave me a bronze dagger. After my tenth birthday he disappeared. This dagger, little did I know then, had a curse on it. Remy meant for this to be helpful but I was only ten, too young to use it as a benefit. It caused me my crazy anger issues.

The first time this happened I was in the park by a large boulder when a boy from my neighborhood started picking on me. Normally this would have not bothered me but I felt the anger well up in me this time. I remember feeling like I was a boiling pot of water that was over flowing. My vision went red and I felt hot. Then… nothing, I regained my senses later to find the boy taunting me with a large bump on his head and a long cut on his arm.

It was there that I left the dagger under that large boulder. I never went back.

After I got home I told my mom what happened. She gave me a look that I still can't get out of my head. It was one of pure disgust. She told me to pack my bags, we were leaving. We took a plane to Boston and she left my bags in the airport. She said that I didn't need them.

My mom took me to the nearest bus stop and told me to get on. She got on with me but after the bus took a quick break she disappeared. So I stayed on the bus until it arrived at NYC. I was taken in by an orphanage and they raised me till I was eleven and I met Percy and he took me to Camp Half-Blood. He became the older brother I had always wanted. When I found out we were actually related I was ecstatic. He, Nico, and Thalia became my family.

"Marie! Marie! Hey! Hello?" Nico's voice snapped me out of my daze.

"We're here!" he said.

"Oh! Gods, sorry Nico I wasn't paying attention."

"It's ok," he said with an amused smile, "What were you thinking about?"

"Oh… well… life before I met you, Percy, and Thalia."

He smiled and kissed me lightly on the lips.

"It's ok we will always be here for you. Anyways we arrived in London. Let's go."

We exited the plane. As we walked out I looked out at around fifty people. This is one of our smaller camps.

"Hi!" I said with a wave.

"Hey!" said a voice that came from the front of the group.

I instantly recognized the voice; it's a voice that no one can imitate. A girl with bright red hair came to the front, her grass green eyes wide with amazement.

"You guys could have given us a heads up! I would have liked to know you were coming. I haven't seen you guys for two years!" said Rachel.

The red head girl is Rachel. She used to be the Oracle but quit because she was sick of it. They gave her crap so she left a little after it started. Wow… we probably need to hang out with her more.

"You guys could have given us a heads up! I would have liked to know you were coming. I haven't seen you guys for two years!" said Rachel.

I instantly felt bad. We meant to visit more but in recent years the attacks had been increasing and it was hard to do anything other than train and prepare. As you can see I don't have much of a social life.

"Sorry Rache' we meant to visit more but you know how it's been…" I trailed off awkwardly.

"It's ok," she answered, "I understand. It's been hard for everyone… though on a lighter note I heard you brought the whole group."

She made a wide gesture, indicating Nico and Thalia. I don't think she noticed Annabeth in the back and if she did, chose not to acknowledge her.

After giving Nico, Thalia, Marie, and I hugs she led us, and the rest of the squad, too the main structure in the camp. It was a dome-like building made of white marble and other precious metals.

As we neared the building I remembered that the precious metals actually spelled out words. The biggest was CHAOS and it was made of special metal that was dark and only Chaos himself could hand out. It was the same type of metal that made up our swords; Dark black swirled with traces of silver, gold, and bronze. The metal could only be handled by Chaos till it was blessed and was specifically made when a star somewhere in the universe dies. The other names where of gods from all mythologies, such as Norse and Egyptian.

"Ok here we are!" said Rachel as we neared the doors.

Her and some other camper pushed open the doors, and there stood Grover- who I hadn't seen for one thousand and one years.

BAMM! This was so hard for me to write but I did it! So I deserve a round of applause. Sorry for taking half a year but I have been busy… and lazy. So again my most sincere apologies! I hope you liked it so… please leave a review below! ;)
