We are young and we are strong. 2

Angel's POV.

When me and Alexander first met... We both hated each other. Percy and Annabeth had to take us out of the room before we started to claw each other's eyes out. I remember the first day we met.

He was a year older than me. And I was crying about being away from home. My dad lived in LA; Camp-Half Blood was in New York. I sighed, sitting under a tree, looking around at all the boys and girls. Some of the people could be five years, others could be about 30. I was 14 when I was first at Camp. Alex was 15.

Jace looked down at me, and cleared his throat. He dropped his hand down to me. "The first day is always the hardest."

I smiled softly, looking up. I took his hand, and he helped me pull myself up. I sighed, brushing the grass off my butt. I looked up at him. "Thanks." I said, trying my hardest to smile.

"Hey, I was like you too when I first came. Then... My mom had another baby, so I was mad when I couldn't be there with her." He said, shrugging.

"I'm Angel." I said to him, smiling.

"I'm Jace." He said as we walked. "Son of Ares." He said in a caring tone.

"Son? Or Ares?" I whispered. "I... I-" I flat lined. I had no clue who my mom was. "I'm daughter of Andrew Aalina?" I asked, frowning. Dad would never talk about mom. All she saw where pictures. She was beautiful. My mother. We looked alike, only I got dad's hair.

"Ahh. Fun for you." He said with a smirk. "You get to sleep in the Hermes cabin until we find out who your mom is." Jace said with a smirk.

"…Oh." I whispered, frowning. I raised an eyebrow. There was a boy with dark black hair. He was sitting under a tree, talking to it. I frowned, watching him.

"That's Alexander. He's son of Hades." Jace whispered to me. "He's talking to Juniper. She's a tree nymph, so… That's why he's talking to a tree."

I smiled, nodding slowly, taking all of this in. I let out a sigh. I missed my dad. I frowned, hearing a horn. It was dinner time. I frowned, looking at the Hermes table. There was no room. I held my plate close to my body, and looked around. I sighed, seeing Jace wave at me from the cover of my eye. He was sitting by the tree boy, and another boy. The tree boy and the other boy looked alike. Brothers, maybe? Jace pointed to the spot next to him, and I sighed, sitting by him.

"Alex, Eddy." Jace said to the boys. "This is Angel. She's new." He said, nodding towards me.

Meanwhile, I was stuffing myself because of how hungry I was. The drive was so long to New York. I gasped, my eyes going wide, looking at the boys. I raised an eyebrow, swallowing the food down. "Uh... Hi." I said, giggling softly at what happened.

"Hi!" Eddy said happily, putting a hand out. I smiled, shaking it. "I'm Eddy." He said nicely.

"I'm Angel." I said, smiling.

Eddy kept staring at me. Like he's never seen a teenager before. "You're uh… Really pretty." He said smiling.

"Thanks." I said, trying not to blush.

Alex frowned, looking at his brother. "I'm… Alex." He said.

"Hi." I said, and then continued to eat.

Another boy and girl came to join us. The girl just stared at me, her eyebrow cocked up. "Wow… I've never seen a girl pig out like that."
I frowned, almost chocking at my mouth full of food. I chuckled when I felt Jace's hand on my back, patting it softly. "The drive to New York was long, ok?"

"Where do you live?" The boy asked.

"LA." I said, looking down. I coughed stubble, looking at Jace.

"That's Percy and Annabeth... And here comes Grover." He said with a smirk as a ginger came to sit by us. He just stared at me, like Eddy did.

"Can I help you?" I snapped, frowning.

"Oh! Uh…" He said bahhing of embarrassment. "You're pretty, that's all." He said.

"Well, I don't find her pretty at all. I find her to be… Gross, she probably got a nose job." Alex said, rudely.

"I…" I gasped, getting up. I hate people. So much. "I got this nose… No, I got everything from my mother…" I said, mad. When I get mad, I'm mad. I'm fucking pissed. I frowned, walking off, more like storming off. I frowned, walking around. I heard Jace bitch at Alex and jog after me. I wanted to go home. With my dad. And his noise ass. I missed him, so much. And I knew he missed me. I sighed, biting on my lip, sitting down, trying my hardest not to cry. I sighed, looking up at Eddy who had jogged after Jace.

"I'm sorry for my brother..." He whispered down at me. "He just gets grumpy… Around new kids, how they are so clueless. He'll warm up to you, I promise."
I sighed, nodding my head at Eddy's words.

The next day I found out with cabin I belonged too. The Aphrodite one.

And Alex did warm up to me. I remember the day he first asked me out. We were playing catch the flag. Only a bit more bad ass.

Me, Alex, and Percy were on the blue team. Annabeth, Eddy, and Jace on red. Alex and Percy were fighting of the reds, while I looked for the flag. I gasped, seeing where it was. Then Annabeth jumped out at me, like she did Percy his first day. Annabeth never liked me. She always thought I was a pig.

She cut me up, like she did with Percy. I gasped, falling down, my head hitting a rock. I heard someone cry my name, like a blood lust scream. I watches Annabeth drop down, and in a burry, a black figure ran over to me. It was Alex. I gasped, feeling the blood drip out of my head. Alex helped me up. "Angel!" He cried again, looking at me, trailing his eyes up and down. "Are you ok?" He asked, biting his lip.

I nodded. I felt dizzy. I sighed heavily, hugging him tightly. I wrapped my small arms around his chest, hugging him. I never wanted to let go. I frowned, knowing I was bleeding all over his shirt. I sighed, starting to pull back, but Alex didn't let me.

He just held me. There, in that field. I smiled at the words he spoke. "Angel. I really like you, ok?" He said, "I… I just want you. And only you. As mine. And no one else's. Will you go out with me?" He asked.

I nodded, smiling softly. "Yes." I whispered to him.

I smiled, remembering how sweet he was like it was yesterday. We were at home now, just him and me. He had fallen asleep with his head on my tummy, cuddling it. He was so kind, so sweet. Once he warmed up to you, he was like a puppy. He would treat you right, and never leave your side.
