XVIII Annabeth

Was happy to know they would be going back to Camp Half Blood with Percy.

The meeting with the seven went by uneventful for most of the Greeks. That was until two figures appeared out of the shadows. Speak of the devil...

"Nico!" Hazel tackled the son of Hades who stumbled back a bit.

Other than that it was pure silence.

Silena stood a bit shyly beside Nico.

"So...No Hello? How's it been? Being like forcefully reborn or something?" She said in her lovely voice (I'm straight. I swear.) Trying to break the ice.

"Silena, It's really you." Annabeth said in a quiet voice. She was a little misty in the eyes.

"In the flesh..." Silena nodded.

It was hardly noticeable but Leo was seen drooling in the background.

"So Annabeth? since no one's gonna talk. I need to get the scoop. How did you and Percy get together? Were, How, What? Give me details!"

That did it.

Annabeth came forward giving her a hug along with Percy.

"It's been a while." Percy said looking a little wistful.

"Percy, Hon. Don't go blaming yourself for anything. Especially not about what happened with charlie and I." Silena said.

"I'm trying not to but now..."

"Now, I want to see the new Aphrodite cabin leader." Silena interrupted him.

Piper stepped forward.

"So...you're Silena. The one I've heard about?"

"And you're the one who thankfully was successful to set things right in the Aphrodite cabin. How was it like living with drew?"

"A dictatorship. She said a lot of things..."

"Some were true but I shouldn't delve on the pass." Silena looked pointedly at Percy, who smiled sheepishly.

That Seaweed Brain should listen to Silena.

Percy glanced at Nico.

He chuckled weakly.

Having heard about the whole thing Annabeth glared at him.

"Ambassador..." She spat.

Nico raised his arms up in surrender.

"If you're gonna finish me off I'd just like to say on my defense, Percy had to find his own way in Camp. I couldn't meddle with Hera's plan."

"Well you could've at least told him that you knew him or maybe told him that you guys were cousins?" Annabeth said irritated.

"Well..."Nico faltered when Percy stepped closer to him.

Percy had a glare on his face that could've made the minotaur run home to Pasiphae He had his fist clenched.

Nico closed his eyes shut waiting for a blow.

A second passed and Percy let out a laugh.

Leo joined in a bit while the others just smiled.

"You should've seen the look on your face." He said.

"Very funny." Nico said sarcastically but you could tell he was relieved.

Percy turned turned serious.

"Just never do that again Nico." He said.

"I won't Perce. Swear." He said.

"Wait Nico, you're Greek." It was more of a statement.

"Uh..Yeah. Sorry Hazel."

"It's fine. I was just trying to clarify." Hazel hugged him again.

Nico looked like he was about to pass out.

Percy took out a zip lock full of mini ambrosia squares and handed it to Nico.

"Thanks." Nico gave a small smile.

"Get some rest death breath. I'll send an Apollo camper out."

Percy turned to Leo who had been looking at Silena with googly eyes.

"Could you take Nico to the Infirmary?" It was more of a command than a request.

Annabeth loved it when he took command like that.

She thought it was really hot.

Though she would never say it out load or admit that she'd think of her cocky seaweed Brain that way.

Annabeth wasn't able to stop her cheeks from coloring at her thoughts.

Leo nodded and led Nico out the room, Helping him stand upright.

Of coarse he sent his charming smile towards silena before he left.

Silena giggled.

"He is so cute!" She said in a very Aphrodite-like way.

"Silena you haven't changed a bit." Percy said.

"Thanks. So, Introduce me to everyone. I haven't seen them for so long and Clarisse..."

"She would love to see you." Annabeth said.

"Anyways. These are the Romans. Reyna Praetor of the twelfth legion fulminata. Daughter of Bellona..."

Percy glanced at Annabeth for confirmation.

Annabeth rolled her eyes but nodded nevertheless.

Percy continued.

"Octavian Augur, Frank Son of mars. Centurion, Hazel Daughter of Pluto and Jason other Praetor. Biological brother of Thalia. Son of Jupiter. And some new kids. Piper. You're half sister. and the guy who was drooling over you was Leo. Son of Hephaestus"

There were hello's and Hi's and eye rolls. (Octavian.)

"The irony." Silena said. She was probably thinking of charlie.

"Don't worry. We'll save him." Percy reassured her sending a small glare at Annabeth.

"We will." Annabeth agreed.

She didn't want to have another argument.

"Thanks guys." Silena said.

"You're welcome. Now let's get you reunited with the other Campers. They'll be happy to see you again." Percy said with a smile.

Hello peoples.

Yes me still have the author's block so forgive me for the hold up.

I only have two more weeks of summer (ehem...NO!) and I will be starting my junior year (wow I'll be having a prom this year.). Meaning updating would take longer because school would have to go first. It's also gonna be my mom's birthday soon (June fourth) so I was wondering if any of you could give suggestion's on what a fourteen year old could get for her mother's birthday.

Anyways review and I'll soon get to that Jasper one shot. I'm still asking for suggestions and ideas so don't hesitate to speak your mind.

Review!
