Chapter 12

A/N: Hello, you beautiful people!

This is a bittersweet moment for me, because this is the last chapter.

Thanks for your continued support. It took me 3 weeks to write the first chapter, the beginning of this amazing journey. Thank you all for giving me such an amazing opportunity.

YOU ARE WARNED: THIS IS SHORT. EVEN BY MY STANDARDS.

~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me…~

ANNABETH POV

We were flying for about an hour. I know it's not very long, but for a bunch of ADHD demigods, I might as well have been a day.

Finally, Mr. Dare's pilot's voice came on over the intercom, "We will be landing in five minutes. Please buckle up, and I hope you enjoyed your flight."

"Okay, everyone," Rachel began, "We're going to land at JFK, and then Argus will come pick us up. Any questions?"

"Who's Argus?" Kaine asked.

"Good question. Argus is in charge of security and transportation. He's blonde, and has blue eyes all over his body. He doesn't talk, everyone says it's because he has eyes on his tongue, "Rachel replied.

Kaine shrugged, like, 'Sure, why not…'

A few moments later, we were in the JFK airport, looking around for Argus. Abbi walked over, and tugged on my sleeve,

"Is that Argus, Annabeth?"

Sure enough, Argus was standing with a sign, that said "Delphi Strawberries."

I turned around to the group, gesturing to Argus, "Come on guys. Argus is over here."

I ran over to him, glad to see someone from Camp, "Hey Argus. How's camp been holding up?"

He shrugged, and pointed to Kaine, Abbi and Leanne. I nodded, "Yeah, they're the new kids."

He nodded back, and gestured for us to follow him, us obeying. Percy walked up and grasped my hand, gently fingering my new ring.

We all hoped into the Delphi Strawberry truck, buckling up. Thalia, Kaine and I were in the back, Leanne, to her displeasure, was squished between Lexia and Lyrical, and up front, Abbi was between Percy and Nico, who were explaining who Mr. D and Chiron were, with Rachel in shotgun.

~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me…~

After what seemed like an eternity, we started up the familiar dirt road, and parked next to Half-Blood Hill.

We walked up the hill, and into the magical barriers. Kaine, Leanne and Abbi gasped, seeing camp for the first time.

I heard a yell from the base of Half-Blood Hill,

"Lexi!" I looked down to see Connor Stoll, waving his arms, practically jumping up and down.

Lexia took one look, and started squealing, "Connor!"

She ran down the hill, engulfing him in a hug. He gave her a light kiss, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. Lexi was beaming.

The look on Leanne's face was hysterical, "She has a boyfriend?"

I smiled, "Yep. Apparently they've been dating for months."

She cocked an eyebrow, "Apparently?"

"We found out yesterday."

"Oh."

Pretty soon the entire camp was surrounding us. You'd think that we were gone for years, instead of a week and a half.

It was about noon, and Chiron finally trotted over to the commotion.

"Children, back away. We need to let them breathe. Annabeth, good to see you. Who's children do we have?"

I motioned for Kaine, Abbi and Leanne to step forward, "We have Leanne, daughter of Ares," The Ares cabin cheered.

"Kaine, a daughter of Hemera, and Abbi daughter of Hermes."

Amber marched forward, "You wanna be head counselor?"

Kaine cocked an eyebrow, "Uh… Sure?"

Amber grabbed Kaine's arm, stalking off. Connor, finally letting go of Lexi, walked up to Abbi.

"Hi Abbi. I'm your brother, Connor. Let's get you settled."

Abbi nodded, following Connor down to the cabins.

We were dispersed, to do as we pleased.

Life was back to normal. For now.

A/N: That's it, folks!

Seriously, that was the last chapter of The New Kids.

I know it's short, and not my best work, but I really have nothing else to write.

So, I've already told y'all about my new story idea, right? Y'know, the one where mortal parents come to CHB? Yeah, I thought so.

I have no clue when I'll start that, it could be in a month, or in one hour. I love you all so much, and thanks for sticking with this story. It's been my life for like, three months!

To be truthful, I'm kind of happy to be done with it. I'm very proud of myself for finishing it, though!

I love y'all more than you'll ever know,
