Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians but I guess you already know that!

I got a few requests as to what happened to Percy after Andromeda reached camp. Well, I hope this chapter answers your questions!

Chapter 5

Andromeda POV

Jason was really nice. He was really helpful and seemed genuinely interested in showing me around camp. I could see why he had been good friends with Mom and Dad.

I drank in everything around me. The camp was as beautiful as I had imagined it to be. The stables were beautiful. I could feel the pegasi turning towards me, probably sensing the presence of a demigod with the blood of Poseidon.

STAY! I yelled at them mentally. The last thing I needed was to cause an impromptu stampede. They whinnied in annoyance but thankfully obeyed. We saw the lava wall, armoury, lake and sword fighting ring. We then finally reached the top of a hill. Below, I could see a small city. It was made entirely of white marble and was the most graceful thing I had ever seen. The streets were teeming with people. It was an entire township.

''What is that?'' I asked. Mom and Dad had never mentioned a city in the Greek Camp. There had only been one in Rome.

''You mean the buildings below?'' asked Jason. ''Well, they are a city for adult demigods. We call it New Greece. It is built on the same lines as New Rome.''

''And that is?'' I asked, a confused look on my face.

''Oh, of course! You don't know what that is!'' said Jason, smacking his head. He then went into a long winded explanation of the entire story of how the Greek and Roman demigods finally found about each others existence about twenty five years earlier and how the Greeks decided to build a small community inside their camp like the Romans. I noticed how he completely glossed over the actual reason the Greeks and Romans came to know about each other in the first place. It was as though the Giant War had never happened.

''So what you are trying to say is that there is a proper school and university there in addition to houses and shops for demigods after they reach the age of eighteen and choose to settle there?'' I asked incredulously. It seemed ironical that Mom and Dad had left camp for the very same thing that was now present here. I felt a strange urge to laugh.

I then asked Jason another question that had been bothering me. ''In the infirmary, you said that you were the son of Jupiter, didn't you? So how are you in the Greek camp and not in the Roman camp?''

He gave a small smile but it was forced. ''Well, my wife is a Greek. She is a daughter of Aphrodite, not Venus. So one of us had to give up our original home. I had ... visited... this place sometime back and well, after that, I was never the same. I could not fit into the rigid regime of the Roman Camp again so easily. Moreover, Piper, my wife, did not really feel comfortable being in the Roman Camp as much as I did here so the choice was very simple.''

Visited Camp Half Blood huh? Not sent here by Hera with amnesia? Sure, Jason. Whatever you say.

''So in which cabin will I be staying?'' I asked Jason though I already knew the answer. ''I could not help but see there were about twenty of them in the clearing we passed.''

''The Hermes Cabin for now, I suppose. Though, I will not be surprised if you are claimed today, Andy. You look to be around fifteen. Most demigods are claimed by this age.''

''Well we can only hope can't we?'' I cheerfully replied though I was freaking out from within. It was highly unlikely that I would be claimed as neither Athena nor Poseidon knew of my existence.

The day quickly passed. I was not claimed that night at the campfire. Mr. D announced the arrival of a new camper – Alice Jameson. Yup, that's me. That night I fell into a dreamless sleep, wondering how long I would be able to keep up this charade.

Meanwhile,

Percy POV

I groaned as I stabbed the last hellhound. I was not as young as I was and that was showing. I could see a figure slowly inching up the hill- Andromeda. Following her was wait – KAMPE? I groaned. Trust her to inherit my bad luck. I had to leave at once. As much as I wanted to help her, she had to handle this battle on her own. Moreover, my scent was sure to draw more monsters.

Reluctantly, I turned my back on my daughter and left. I broke up into a million pieces and vapour travelled back to California.

I collapsed in my swimming pool, giving Silena quite a fright. ''DAD! You are back! Luke, call Mom and Charles. Dad has come back!''

They all came running out.

''Did she reach safely?''

''Are you alright?''

''You are bleeding Percy!''

''Which monster did she have to face?''

''Guys! Calm down!'' I yelled, before telling them the whole story. After I had finished, Annabeth ran to get ambrosia.

''Four hellhounds, Percy, really? And Kampe? Well, we can only hope that Andy has reached safely. I mean you saw her halfway up the hill right? So she must have reached. She has to.'' She sounded as though she was trying to convince herself more than me.

''Of course she must have reached, Mom.'' Said Luke soothingly. ''Andy is an amazing fighter. She must have survived.''

A shiver ran up my spine. I did not like the way he said survived. She had to. Else I would never forgive myself for leaving her.

''Don't worry my dears,'' said a voice behind us. We turned to see Hestia behind us.

''Aunt Hestia!'' yelled Charlie. ''Is Andy fine? Did she reach camp?'' he asked hurriedly asking the question we all were dying to ask.

''Andromeda is fine.'' Replied Hestia. '' She has reached camp. However she is unconscious due to her battle with Kampe. Understandably so. However, she will make a full recovery.'' She smiled softly. '' To be honest, she had become somewhat of a hero at camp. There are not many demigods who would be able to slay a monster like Kampe single-handedly. You should be proud of your daughter Percy.''

''Thank you my lady.'' I said bowing.

Annabeth and I looked at each other joyfully. Andromeda had reached camp. She was safe. Now all she had to do was keep her identity a secret.

This was more of a filler chapter but I had to write it for all of you who were concerned about Percy. The next chapter will have some surprises so stay tuned ;) A clue: the person played quite a major part in both the wars. Any guesses? PM me and let me know. The person who gives the right answer first will get a sneak peek of the next chapter.

A big thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed or favourited this chapter. You guys rock!

Lastly, please don't forget to review. Like it, hate it let me know.

Until next week,
