A.N. In this chapter you will see a POV called RCPOV. That means random camper point of view. The reason I used this is because I need someone in camp and don't need them as an 'official' part of the story. I may use it again, and if I do, it is just a random camper, maybe the same, maybe a different on. It doesn't matter.

RCPOV:

"Attention Campers. We are expecting some very important guests tomorrow morning. They will be arriving early, hopefully. They will be here for a week to celebrate the defeat of Kronos and the prevalence of Mount Olympus, Western Civilization and the Gods. I expect you all to be on your best behavior." Chiron was saying. We were all gathered around the campfire.

It was the night after Percy Jackson had killed Kronos, single-handedly. We had gone into battle with about 40 campers, later 20 or so Ares Campers joined us as well as another 30 hunters (A.N. Probably aren't the right numbers, but whatever), that makes about 90 fighters. All of them, even the hunters, had returned to camp, at least the half that was alive did. In this battle we had lost over half of our campers. But on the bright side, more like the brighter side since it still isn't that bright, a ton more campers are coming, the thing is, what with all the mourning, it isn't easy to teach new recruits the ropes. I should rephrase that, almost all the survivors returned.

Thalia, daughter of Zeus had disappeared, and rumor had it, she quit the hunters, so she might be dead. Nico, son of Hades had also disappeared, but after saving the day, him and his father probably went away so the could be alone with their dead friends. Percy, the savior, was nowhere to be found. No one had seen him since before he killed (you know what I mean) Kronos, but people were saying he had been offered immortality, and who would turn down the chance to be a god? Annabeth, too, had disappeared. I had two theories for her disappearance. Since Percy had become a god, he may have been able to turn Annabeth into a goddess, this way they could live forever together, since it was common knowledge that they loved each other, well everyone but each other. My other theory was that he hadn't brought her into immortality and she had been so heart broken she had run away, or gone even farther...

"Now everyone, off to bed!" Chiron yelled.

I followed the rest of my cabin back to the (Insert God/Goddess of your choice) cabin.

Next Day

We all sat at the dining pavilion eating, when we saw it. It was three huge waves, coming straight for camp. That wasn't the amazing part. The amazing part was, on top of each wave, there were seven figures standing on top of each.

On the one farthest to the left, there was a teenaged boy who seemed to be moving the water. Next to him was a girl who was watching him carefully; next to her were a boy and a girl. The four of them looked to be about my age. On the other side of the boy were two women and a man. On the one in the middle, a man was bending the water. To his right there was a man holding a child, and two women. To his left, there was another man and another woman. On the wave to the left, a girl, probably my age was bending the water. Next to her was a boy, about the same age as her. Then the other passengers were all men, except for one woman.

As the waves grew closer, they became smaller. And soon I could make out who most of the people were. On the wave farthest to the left, from right to left, was Nico DiAngelo, Thalia Grace, Annabeth Chase, Percy Jackson, who was controlling the wave, Aphrodite, Apollo and Athena. The middle wave had, Demeter, Persephone, Hades, who was carrying a child I didn't recognize, Poseidon, controlling the wave, Zeus and Hera. On the final wave was Ares, Hermes, the boy I didn't know, the girl controlling the water, Artemis, Hephaestus and Dionysus.

It didn't take long until the waves crashed onto shore. The gods and their companions stepped out of the water and onto the sand. We all stood and bowed to them. Chiron stepped forward, "Welcome, my lords, ladies and campers, to Camp Half-Blood." It was Poseidon who stepped forward.

"Thank you for such warm welcomes, Chiron. After what we have seen today, we are very excited to see what the camp that trains our heroes, without whom, Mount Olympus would have fallen and with it, Western Civilization." Poseidon shook hands with Chiron, and then turned to us "Demi-Gods! First and foremost, I would like to thank you on behalf of all the Gods and Goddesses. Secondly, all unclaimed demi-gods, please step forward." Ten kids got up from the Hermes table. I recognized eight of them as newcomers. Suddenly, there were symbols floated above their heads.

Two Winged Sandals (A.N. Hermes), Three Lyres (A.N. Apollo, not sure if symbol is right though), three boars (great more Ares kids) (A.N. not sure if symbol is correct), Anvil and Tongs (A.N. Hephaestus, once again, not sure about symbol) and a Grapevine (A.N. Dionysus). The children each locked eyes with their respective parents. The Gods smiled at their children.

"Well. Newly claimed heroes, pleas go to your new cabins. We will move your things later." Chiron said.

"And thirdly, I would like for you to meet three new demigods." He gestured to the two kids I didn't know.

"Um. I'm Nikolas Doon. Call me Nick. I'm thirteen and I'm the son of Zeus." The boy, Nick, said as lightning lit up the sky. I looked over at Zeus who had his hands up in surrender as he jerked his head towards his son, "Oh yeah and I control lightning." On those words, another blast light up the sky, this time a bold of lightning was in his hand. It looked a lot like Zeus's master bolt, only smaller and less powerful.

Nick had sand-colored blonde hair and those bright blue eyes that marked a child of Zeus. He was well built and looked like he would be great in sword battles. He was wearing a sky blue t-shirt, khaki shorts and black low converse.

"You will teach me how to do that." Thalia demanded of her half-brother, who shrank under her glare.

"No way am I going last. I get to be the finale." The girl said.

"Oh. Sorry for the horrible finale guys." Percy smirked. Water shot up to hit him, but he game himself a dome of water to protect himself, but the water hit Annabeth, who got soaked. Percy started apologizing over and over again while willing the water out of her cloths (I think that was his sweatshirt. Are they together finally?) and hair.

"Whatever. This is Mikhael. He is three years old and he is my son." Hades said gesturing to the little boy in his arms.

Mikhael was in black shorts, black top and little black bootie things. He had pitch-black hair and eyes, but he had pale skin, like border line unhealthy pale skin. Honestly he looked almost exactly like Nico.

"Well, is the 'finale' ready yet?" Poseidon asked the girl sarcastically.

"Why yes. Yes it is." She responded to the god. Then to us she goes, "Heeyyyy. I'm Katerina, call me Kat or you will be in serious trouble. I'm twelve years old and I'm the daughter of Poseidon. Oh. BTW. My last name is Jackson." She smirked, "Now Chiron? Is there anyway I could bunk in a different cabin. Anywhere without that little son of a bastard." She said, pointing to Percy.

"Yep. That's my sister." Percy said as Katerina begged Chiron, who kept saying no. Yep. Percy was in for it.

PPOV:

"Well, is the 'finale' ready yet?" Poseidon asked Katerina sarcastically.

"Why yes. Yes it is." She responded. Then to the crowd she goes, "Heeyyyy. I'm Katerina, call me Kat or you will be in serious trouble. I'm twelve years old and I'm the daughter of Poseidon. Oh. BTW. My last name is Jackson." She smirked at the intake of breath, "Now Chiron? Is there anyway I could bunk in a different cabin. Anywhere without that little son of a bastard." She said, pointing to me. Come on Chiron! Say yes! Say yes!

"Yep. That's my sister." I said as Katerina begged Chiron, who kept saying no. This was going to be and interesting two weeks.

"Annabeth. I'm so sorry." I went back to apologizing.

"Percy! Stop!" Annabeth yelled.

"But! Really! I swear I didn't mean it."

"Ugh!" She groaned as she walked off. I followed her until we got to the Athena cabin. She climbed up the stair onto the low porch. I walked over to her so that our faces were merely an inch apart. I couldn't help but notice that she was a bit taller than I was.

She placed her hands on my shoulder, "You know I'm sorry, right?" I asked again. This time it was more of a joke.

"Yes I do. And I forgive you." She said. She leaned down so that our noses were touching. She took a deep breath, "Percy. I want to hang out, just you and me. It has been so long since we have. Meet me at the cove in an hour?"

I nodded. A year ago Annabeth and I had been walking along the beach and happened upon a small cove. It was separated by the normal beach by huge, steep and tall rocks. I had used my water abilities to get us to the other side. What we saw amazed us. It was a medium sized area, completely surrounded by rocks or water. There were a ton of sandy parts on the shore, but there was also a large smooth rock ledge. And the water went up to about my waist. That was the last time I had had alone time with Annabeth. I missed it too.

"I'll meet you there. Do you want me to bring anything?"

"Wear your bathing suit, but that's all." She said.

"Okay. See you there." I started to pull away, but she locked her hands around me neck, and I really didn't want to move away.

I placed my hands on her waist lightly. She smiled at me and leaned in so that her lips were only millimeters away from mine.

"Annabeth?" But then, my lips were otherwise occupied.

I was in bliss. All I could feel was her pressed against me and I loved it. She stepped down so she was even closer. I opened my eyes a sliver to see her eyes closed. But those weren't the eyes I was looking at. The eyes that had my attention were another pair of grey eyes. This set, however belonged to a goddess.

Athena nodded and winked. I heard her voice in my head, "You took a while with that move." And then she was gone. I closed my eyes for a moment more before I pulled away. Leaving my arms around her waist.

"Percy! I'm so sorry! I don't know what I was th..." I cut her off by kissing her lightly.

"Annabeth? I have a confession." I said looking her in the eyes when I pulled away. She nodded for me to go on, "I love you."

She pulled me into a warm hug. "I love you too, Seaweed brain." She said, I could almost hear her smirking.

"You have called me that one to many times." I growled.

"Wait! Percy!" She cried as I flung her up onto my shoulder. "Percy! Put me down!" She screamed as she pounded my back. I could tell she wasn't really trying though, since they didn't hurt at all. I laughed at her.

I spun around a bunch of times, holding onto her waist so she wouldn't go flying. Once I started getting dizzy, I put her back onto the cabin porch and kissed her lightly. "Get changed, then meet me at my cabin and we'll head to the cove."

"Okay." She said breathlessly.

I turned around and began to walk towards my cabin. I heard the cabin door open, and I spun around on the spot, "Oh and Annabeth?" I called, she looked at me, I was aware of a couple campers walking around, but I figured, what the heck, "I love you." I called to her.

She saw me look t the other campers, who had come to a standstill at my last words, and smirked. She walked over to me, stood on her tip toes, grabbing my shoulders to keep her up, "Love you too, seaweed brain." She said, pressing her lips to mine. I smirked a bit before I kissed back. She pulled away to soon and ran back to her cabin. I walked to my cabin, smirking a bit. I had just kissed Annabeth. Annabeth had kissed me. I hardly even noticed the campers who were either staring at me or staring at the Athena cabin.

Today was going to be interesting.
