Pollux POV

I yawned, and got up from the queen-sized bed. Ella was in another bed nearby, snoring gently. I looked over to the spot I expected to see Castor groaning at the light coming in.

I didn't see him.

I frowned. I hadn't gotten over the fact Castor was gone forever. I still longed for the day to see him in bed across from mine every day. Ella had respected the bed, and even though it was the only other queen-sized bed; she didn't take it. Memories flooded my eyes. Me whacking Castor on the head with a brush because we were going to be late to breakfast, us playing truth or dare to 3 A.M, playing monkey games that consisted of jumping on and off the unoccupied bunks. I was never able to shut off those memories. It was like the Fred-George thing in Harry Potter. I felt like having a mental breakdown. Suddenly; Dionysus came in…? He looked over to the bed, and sadness filled his eyes. He wasn't cruel; he was just as close to having a mental breakdown in front of everyone as I was- of course he hid that fact better. Awkward silence filled the room.

"Dad." I said at last

"Pollux." He responded using my tone of voice.

"I wish he was here." I whispered; my voice cracked. Dionysus closed his eyes and patted me on the back.

"Pollux; you need to move on, like Nikki is about Blanca"

"Dad, its Nico and Bianca" I actually thought Dad remembered everyone's names and it was a little game he didn't remember their names but really did. Ella snored. I smiled slightly. But I needed to move on.

"Erm…This was rather awkward…Bye son"

I nodded politely to him. I looked to Castors old sheets. Depression ran across my head. I shook my head- move on Pollux. For the first time I shut away the billions of flooding memories invading my mind. One memory didn't go away though- the day when Castor and I became inseparable-

**FlashBack!** :D

"Sixth Grade is hard" said my slightly younger brother by a minute. We weren't close. Suddenly; the high school bully named Riley came at us and smirked. He came over to me- and caused a huge gush across my forehead. Castor saw the horrified look on my face. He cared- he walked past me and looked at Riley. Castor was scared of him to. I could almost feel his legs turning into jelly.

"Listen Bitch," I gaped a little; Castor wasn't known for cursing; he was one of those intelligent kids that were always in advanced classes but sat in the back of the classroom anyways.

"o; so we have a dear little smart alec eh?" I prayed Castor would just run with me out the field.

Castor squeezed his fist. I swore I saw an ivy plant trapped in his fist.

Then he hit Riley-Hard.

Broken nose, I thought

Blood gushed down his face. Riley stood in obvious shock. Castor then formed Ivy vines around him. Castor looked at me.

"C'mon Pollux; before the security guards come"

**End of Flash back**

Castor had always known about the demigod thing before I did. I blinked- holding back my tears. That was the most always the most painful thing about this- the pain. I shook my head again and walked out. Chiron was galloping past our cabin when I had come out. Chiron stopped dead in his tracks and I thought it was bad news.

It wasn't.

"Oh, Pollux! I was wondering if you can show our newest camper around" I needed to get my mind off things. So naturally; I said yes. My jaw dropped when I saw the newbie waiting on top of the hill nervously. She had wavy bronze hair that reached her hips; and her bangs looked like they were waiting to be cut. I could barely make out her eyes because she had a pair of Ray Bans on. From what I could make out; she had big hazel eyes. She had a pink tank top and a denim skirt with faded pink converse. She was beautiful. I had no idea who her parent could be. My first thought was that she was Aphrodite's kid. But as I thought about it; she started looking more like a Demeter.

"Hi" I said nervously.

"Hi, I'm Sky" she said softly, adding a warm smile.

"I'm Pollux, son of Dionysus" I returned her smile. Her eyes widened.

"So it's real?"

"What's real?"

"The god stuff"

"Yeah; it's real"

"M'Kay Pollux, let's go!" I was mesmerized when she said my name. It rolled of her tongue like honey.

"Yeah, C'mon Sky" she smiled. She walked side by side with me her eyes almost popping out when she saw the sword arena. My eyes soared over to her ankle bracelet. It had a Greek word engraved into it which I understood:

Nightmare

"Hold up." She looked at me oddly.

"Take off your ankle bracelet" I demanded. She tilted her head at me confused but did as she was told.

She handed it to me. I clicked the center. It immediately turned into a HUGE 3 foot sword. It had celestial bronze along the edges and then, elaborate designs in silver, a metal I didn't recognize, swirling about. The handle; had crystals engraved on it.

"This is your weapon" I said. She looked at it in awe.

"I've had a sword all these years?"

"A wicked one" I said examining it.

"Can I hold it?" I looked at her, and handed her the sword. She smiled at the feeling at having a sword at hand. I remembered that feeling to; it was unusual and fuzzy, but it seemed to fill a missing puzzle piece in your life. The feeling was unforgettable. I looked at her; carefully examining the dummies. She slashed at one; tearing its throat away from its head. It was a powerful lunge. She would be a good fighter. She turned to me; her eyes full on excitement.

"Come against me?"

"No." I stuttered. "Bad memories" I whispered.

"Oh" I looked down at were knife was always strapped. Chiron had let me stop practicing as long as I practiced at least once a week. Archery would take over the other 6 days. I considered going against her but the pain hit me like a wrecking ball. I couldn't. Sky hugged me awkwardly.

"C'mon Pollux; let's go finish the tour then" I smiled at her embrace. I led her past the forge. She was amazed at the heat the Hephaestus kids were able work in. Imagine when she met Leo. Along the way; I learned she liked to sleep and was usually lazy. She usually won every sport and contest she's ever entered to. Both of her parents had died- according to her Orphanage. I wondered if her parent was Nike or Hypnos. I shrugged, I would learn soon enough. After showing the last place; she smiled at me. I noticed I was taller by about 4 inches. I was 6'1. I laughed all out a sudden. It was genuine- I rarely laughed for real anymore. She held out her hand

"Nice meeting you Pollux" she said earnestly.

"Likewise" I said grasping hand. I shook it, and reluctantly took my hand away. She went inside the Hermes cabin, her hair bouncing along-mocking me about something I couldn't have. I went inside the Dionysus cabin across to find a furious Ella that looked like she was about to pour steam.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" she demanded.

"I'm used to- alone" I choked the last word. "Anyways, Chiron asked me to tour the new girl"

"Oh" she flatly. She let the subject go and walked out the door.

Temperr! I thought.

I beg to differ; Hera is WAYYYY worse. Zeus said.

Nuh uh! Persephone and Demeter are WAYYY worse! Hades argued.

Ok….uh…Yeah…uh…Awkward….

Malcolm POV

So the lion fell in love with the lamb. (Twilight is not THAT bad….On a scale of 1 to 10 for me; 6)

Stupid Twilight crap. This is the only book I hated. I was reading it because well; some Aphrodite camper dared me to. I thought it was all like "Pshhh- Piece of cake, I love to read!" But noooo. It turned out something like "Helpp meee Mommy! Take mercy on meeee!" this was such a dramatic book, this Bella chick decided to fall in LOVE with the guy EVERYONE is crushing on and he likes her and he's supposed to like you know not have interest in mortals! Then, Happy Ever After. Screw this book. My mind drifted to Ella. I wasn't even reading- maybe I could get a summary on Spark Notes or something…. Eh whatever; I could sort the details later. I had seen the new girl Sarah or something? I dunno. Well; I had archery with her. She's pretty good at archery. Luna opened the door and entered as if she was Athena's Kid. She sat beside me and put her feet on the coffee table. Classic Luna. I looked at her, then her feet then to her again. She got the message, she groaned and put her feet down.

"You saw the new girl? She has archery skill!" she said holding the 'l'

"Yeah; her name is Sarah right?"

"Sky" she corrected. Bleh; Whatever. I didn't like being corrected but I was feeling lazy. Twilight made me lazy.

"Twilight? Ha! Malcolm? Reading Twilight! Ha! The world must be ending! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES EVERYONE! 2012!" she screamed dramatically running around the cabin. Everyone laughed. She loved attention.

LUNA POV

I'm feeling pretty cranky today- I mean

First; Will didn't wake me up and I missed breakfast

Second; I'm so F'ing hungry.

Third; Percy thought it was funny to buzz cut my brother Devon's (Which we called Devil or Dev) hair. So Will made ME handle it.

Fourth; I'm still sooo F'ing hungry.

Fifth; MALCOLM IS READING TWILIGHT! OF ALL THE F'ING BOOKS IN THE WORLD; TWILIGHT! I'm sending Malcolm to the mental hospital my cousin Stanley works in. Yup; I'm so cool or chill or Fly or whatever people say I have a cousin that works in a mental hospital. Yup, I know it's cool.

Sixth; I'm STILL F'ing hungry!

And seventh; New girl- not one guy paid attention to our archery lesson so Will (he's lazy )made ME of all people; give this girl private lessons.

Oooo and let's not forgot I'm starving to death here!

So; the Hunters were coming to camp. Leo would go gaga over the girls out of his league; Malcolm would ask Thalia if he could tell him her latest hunter stories. And everyone would pay attention to them. They would even keep asking me, and about 20 other good FEMALE archers to be in the Hunters. (Do you know where the hunter scene is going? If not; Damn your slowww) Worse of all? They would bug the Apollo cabin. And Will would make up some lame excuse so he didn't have to handle it. Oh joy; sounds like a boat full of fun. Hurray!

Ella POV

I made my way to the Athena cabin- I needed to ask Malcolm a question. When I came in, he was talking to Luna. When Luna noticed me, she grinned and walked away while saluting Malcolm. I sat where Luna used to sit. Malcolm shifted a little, obviously uncomfortable. I raised my eyebrow at the copy of Twilight o the table. He grinned sheeplessly.

"Hey Malcolm?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot" he said doing the finger gun thing like Will does.

"I was wondering if-"

MWHAHAHAHA! My first cliff hanger! If you know what's going on with the Hunters thing keep it a secret :3 that's for me to know and for you not to know. If you READ verryyyy carefully you'll understand ;)
