Neutral POV
The two weeks passed by in a blur for Persy. Soon enough, it was time for her, Emily, and Sam to leave for Camp Half-Blood.
"Come on! I want to see Jake!" Persy said happily as she ran down the stairs from her rooms, her bags on her back. Sam and Emily laughed at her excitement.
"Alright. Do we have everything?" Sam asked, looking down at their bags.
"I think so." Emily said with a nod. Persy grinned, and closed her eyes for a moment
"Oh Neeks!" she thought in her mind, in a sing-song voice. A minute later, Nico appeared out of the shadows with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm not Mrs. O'Leary, Seph." He said, slightly annoyed. Persy simply smirked, and skipped forward, pulling her little brother-figure into a tight hug.
"How are you, sweetie?" she asked. He pulled back, and gave her a look.
"I'm good. So, you guys ready to go?" Nico said, grinning at his friends. Sam nodded, and they each took their bags, and Persy grabbed onto her cousin's hand, then held onto Sam's, who then took Emily's hand. She closed her eyes, and felt the familiar, uncomfortable sensation of shadow travel.
"We're back!" Sam said with a laugh. Persy opened her eyes, and smiled. She was home. She spotted her favorite teacher coming towards them, and her smile grew.
"Persephone." Chiron said, meeting her smile. Persy walked forward, and hugged him tightly.
"Hi Chiron. How's everything here?" she asked.
"Your friends have become quite close with the Hunters, surprising everyone here." Her teacher said, and Persy laughed.
"Honestly, Chiron, I'm not surprised. They're a very special group of people." She replied.
"I'll let your friends tell you what has happened, but I will tell you that the youngest one, Seth, and Lacy have become inseparable." Chiron said with a smile. Persy gasped, and looked at Nico, who grinned. She reached over, and slapped his arm.
"Why didn't you tell me!" she exclaimed, and immediately spotted the pack standing by the archery range, with the Hunters. Sure enough, there was Seth, standing next to Lacy laughing. Jacob spotted her, and he grinned hugely.
"Seph!" he yelled, and Persy sighed happily at the sight of her imprint. Jacob's shout had drawn the attention of the other campers around them, many of them smiling at the sight of the daughter of Poseidon. Sam laughed, and nudged his cousin forward, and Persy ran towards Jacob.
"Jake!" she said as Jacob picked her up, and spun her around. Persy laughed, and hugged him tightly.
"I missed you." Jacob said as he set her down, and kissed her gently. Persy smiled, and pressed her forehead against Jacob's.
"I missed you too." She replied quietly. Their small moment was broken when the rest of the pack ran over, and took turns hugging Persy.
"Hi, Seph!" Seth said with a grin, and Persy looked at him for a moment, before throwing her arms around him, and kissing his cheek.
"Congrats, baby!" she squealed. Seth looked at her, confused, but them spotted Nico laughing, and he glared at him.
"I'm not a baby." He murmured, pulling away. Persy grinned, and ruffled his hair.
"Sure, Seth. You're the youngest, so I'm calling you my baby." She said. Seth rolled his eyes. Persy spotted Lacy standing to the side.
"Hi Persy." The young daughter of Aphrodite said with a smile. Persy grinned at her, and Emily and Sam came up behind them.
"Little Lacy? Is that you, sweetheart?" Emily asked in shock, and Lacy looked at Emily with wide eyes.
"Oh my gods! Emmy!" she exclaimed, and threw her arms around Emily's neck happily. Emily hugged her half-sister back with joy.
"I basically raised half the kids who are in the Aphrodite cabin now. Mom wanted them to have a more human mother figure, since she couldn't be around." Emily explained after she and Lacy separated. Seth seemed elated that his imprint was good friends with Sam's. At this point, more campers were coming up to greet Persy.
"Hey, Prissy." Clarisse said with a grin. Persy looked at her, and returned the grin.
"Hey Clarisse. Thanks for the letter." She replied. Clarisse nodded.
"Hey Sam." She told her half-brother, who gave her a smile and a wave.
"Hi girl. How've you been? Anyone I need to kill, besides that arrogant son of Athena?" Sam asked, and Clarisse gave him a malicious smile, and pointed behind the group. Persy turned, and nearly puked. Anthony was sitting on the porch of the Athena cabin, his arm around Rachel as they talked with the rest of the Seven. Jacob wrapped an arm around Persy's waist, and squeezed her to him gently.
"Do you want to go talk to him?" he whispered in her ear, and Persy took a deep breath, nodding. Jacob walked with her, and Piper looked behind her as they approached, and promptly squealed.
"PERSY!" she shrieked, and ran over, engulfing the daughter of Poseidon in a tight hug. Persy hugged her friend back, and smiled as her other close friends walked over.
"Hi, Pipes. Hi Jason, Hazel, Frank, Leo. How are you guys?" Persy asked.
"We're good. How are you?" Hazel said kindly, looking at Persy with a concerned face. Persy gave her friend a look, and pushed her hair out of her face. Surprisingly, after only a little over a month staying in La Push, her skin had grown even darker with a tan, and her raven hair had grown surprisingly longer, now reaching a bit lower than her mid-back, and she now looked even more like Leah's twin.
"I've been amazing." Persy said after a moment, and she sent a bright smile to Jacob, who gave her a lopsided grin back, and snaked an arm around her waist, placing a kiss on her forehead. Piper and Hazel both let out small 'awws' at the sight of the two.
"I had a sneaking suspicion that you two were together. Those other boys didn't seem right for you." Frank said with a smile. Persy laughed.
"Oh, they're right for someone. Just not me." She replied to the son of Mars. Jacob snorted.
"So, tell us. Where were you staying for the past month?" Jason asked, worry clear in his eyes as he looked his cousin over. Thalia and Nico hadn't given much when they came back from spending time with Persy.
"I was staying with my cousin, Sam Uley, son of Ares, and Emily Young, his fiancé and daughter of Aphrodite. My mom and Sam's mom knew each other during school, so we grew up together. Sam and Em are like my big brother and sister." Persy said.
"And how did you two meet?" Piper asked, motioning to Jacob. Jacob smirked.
"We met the first night that Seph came to La Push. The other guys, and Leah were hanging out with Emily while they were waiting for Sam to come back with Seph. I was out, and I had come back to find them all in the living room, and Sam and Emily sitting next to the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my entire life." Jacob told them, and Persy blushed slightly, 'It was all uphill from there."
"So, you live with a bunch of boys?" Leo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Gods no! The guys each live with their own families, but they're around so much, they might as well move in with Sam and Em. It's like having three big, overprotective older brothers, and one slightly smaller, younger overprotective older brother." Persy said, "And I love having Leah and Em around. It's nice to have girls to grip about the boys with."
"So is Leah dating any of the boys?" Hazel asked, and both Persy and Jacob burst out laughing, much to the confusion of the demigods.
"No! That would be the weirdest thing in the world! You can't im- date someone in the pack!" Jacob said, snickering.
"Pack?" Rachel spoke up, standing, and leaning over the rail of the porch. Persy glared at the redhead, and immediately fell silent. Jacob stiffened.
"Yes. We like wolves, so we call out group a pack, and Sam is our alpha, and I am the beta. We're a very close-knit group, and we protect our own, just like a wolf pack." He said shortly, not meeting Rachel's calculating eyes.
"Sounds perfect for Persy. Her fatal flaw is loyalty, so it's great she's with a group obsessed with dogs." Anthony said with a laugh and a smirk. Rachel giggled, and Persy trained her eyes on him, her green eyes blazing.
"Yes, my fatal flaw is loyalty, and I'm loyal to those I love. You insult my pack directly in front of me, and I will not hesitate to make you pay, Anthony Chase." She hissed. Jacob looked at his imprint proudly, and Persy turned back to the others of the Seven, "Anyway, Pipes, Hazel, want to come hang with me, Leah, and Em? Our girl time is the best." Piper and Hazel looked happy to be welcomed.
"Totally! That sounds like fun!" Piper said with a grin, "Emily is a daughter of Aphrodite, right?"
"Yup. Want to come meet her?" Persy asked, and Piper nodded excitedly. Persy took her friend's hand, and brought her over to Emily, who was talking with Lacy, while Sam looked at her in amusement.
"Hi girl. You good?" he asked when she got closer with Piper.
"Yup. Hey Em!" Persy called, and her sister looked over at her, "This is Piper, the current head counselor for the Aphrodite cabin. She's one of my best girlfriends here at camp. She wanted to meet you." Piper smiled.
"Everyone is always talking to you in the cabin. You're like a celebrity." She said.
"I wouldn't say that. More like a mom substitute." Emily said with a laugh.
"Persy, may I speak with you and Jacob in the Big House?" Chiron asked, coming up behind them. Persy nodded, and took Jacob's hand, following her teacher.
"What's wrong?" she asked as they reached the main room. Chiron sighed.
"Do you have a plan for when my father attacks?" he asked back at her. Persy nodded.
"Yes. Me and Jake are going to be protecting Leo, with a couple others. He's the most important person, like they all said before. He's one of the only people who can defeat Kronos this time around." She said.
"Thank you. By the way, Persy, your father came by. He wished to speak with you." Chiron said, and Persy grinned.
"Actually, Chiron, I was hoping if I could leave, and go to my mom's apartment." She replied, and Chiron smiled.
"Of course. Just be back by the time the campfire is." He said. Persy nodded, and grabbed Jacob, pulling him after her.
"So I'm gonna meet your mother?" Jacob asked with a smirk.
"She's the best woman in the world. I love her more than anything. I want you to meet her so badly. You'll love her. Sam and Emily are coming with us, of course." Persy said, slowly getting more excited. Jacob laughed at his girlfriend's excitement, and allowed himself to be pulled along. The two reached where the pack, plus other demigods were standing.
"You seem happy, Seph." Emily said with a smirk.
"Want to come with me and Jake to see my mom?" Persy asked, practically jumping up and down.
"Of course! Any excuse to see Aunt Sally is a good one!" Sam said, laughing. Persy squealed.
"Alright. Seth, Paul, Embry, Leah, Quill, we're going to be right back. I promise that the entire pack is going to spend a day with my mom when the war is over. Don't kill Anthony or Rachel. Yet." She said, and Leah shook her head fondly, before giving her a hug.
"Go, girl." She said with a smile. Persy grabbed Jacob's hand, and dragged him down the hill, towards one of the camp vans, followed by Sam and Emily.
"I can't wait to see Mom!" Persy said, clapping her hands.
