A/N: Okay, back on track. I figured it out! YAY! Okay well please have a wonderful day! I'm excited because we got presidents day off.
16. Memories
I have grown older and have a family of my own.
When I spent my time with the Romans when I was 17, I was sure that it would be the future when I saw the houses and families that wandered the streets in the bordered city. But once I got home, I knew this was where I was meant to be. The Greek buildings were my home. I hadn't known what I had until I lost it.
The golden curls and they grey eyes that stared deep into my thoughts for time to come. That was my home. So I decided to settle down a few miles out of down town Manhattan. We were close Camp and grandma Sally. Yes, you heard me right.
It had been a tough week. Annabeth and I just told our children about the world they don't know about. The world we have been trying to protect them from. It was their last day of school and there has been a lot of tension because I told them we were sending them off Camp Half-Blood first thing tomorrow morning.
It's not like they are totally unprepared for the real world and monsters. Thankfully, they don't ask questions when we tell them exactly where all the weapons are, or why we insist to train them so hard on the weekends with boxing and other techniques. They look into Annabeth and my hard gaze and they understand not to inquire about our requests.
But I know they are curious. They have it written on their faces.
Anyways, it was still a shock to them when we told them everything.
It was now 8 o'clock in the morning and I could see the dragon on the hill as we approached camp.
"Is that a dragon?" Bianca asked. I looked in the rearview mirror and my youngest bounced all of her 7 years in her seat. I wouldn't say she was a mistake, but sure a surprise.
"Yup." Annabeth said and looked up the hill. So many memories flooded back. Some sad, some good.
Annabeth walking away after my first year, the sun bouncing off her hair. Fighting off the monsters after Luke let them through the Labyrinth entrance. The best underwater kiss of all time.
"And a pony man!" Bianca shouted with glee as Chiron walked up to Thalia's tree.
"Holy shit!" Charles cried running a hand through his blonde hair. My oldest son peered out the window and up over the hill.
"Swear jar." Silena smiled as she too looked out the window.
"No swear jars at camp Half-Blood." I told them.
"Cool!" He smiled.
"Don't go overboard though." Annabeth said and we started walking up the hill to camp. As the familiar terrain became visible, Charles and Silena went off the explore a bit. Chiron, Annabeth and I talked a little bit. Bianca ran off with some Aphrodite girls who I hope weren't dosing her in makeup. That's what she really wants, to be like a princess, and if I had fought with a few Aphrodite girls, they were all about that. The only exception being for Piper, but Jason and her were off doing their own thing in Camp Jupiter.
Annabeth and I went to go check on Charles and Silena and to retrieve Bianca. They were sitting on the porch steps of the Poseidon cabin.
Before they saw us, Annabeth and I observed.
Charles was talking with a girl with long sandy blonde hair. Immediately, I knew she was the daughter of Demeter because of all the green accessories she wore. Silena was talking with a boy with brown hair. They were laughing and my kids were being shown parts of the camp from the porch by another boy and his friend.
This was the end of our times and the beginning of another. The memories wouldn't stop coming for us, but more were on the way for the ones we loved.
