Hi peoples!

I am so so so sorry for the wait. School has been absolutely insane, and I haven't had time to update. But, things are dying down, so I should be getting back into the groove!

I hope you all enjoy the next chapter!

Neutral POV

"The wolves and vamps are going to be scattered around the demigods. They'll slow down Kronos' army, but the demigods are a second defense. So, Leo. You're going to be sticking with me and Jake at the top of the hill. The vampires' weakness is fire. You burn them, they can't come back to life. The Cullens will run up pieces of the defeated vampires up to you to burn, or Nico will shadow-travel you to where they are." Persy said, and Leo looked at her with surprise. She put her pencil down, and looked intently around her, at the counsels, her wolves, and the gods gathered around her, before looking back at Leo. "You are the most important person in this war, Leo. Without you, we won't win." Leo stared down at his hands, almost in awe.

"Are you sure, Persy?" he asked, doubtful, and Persy knew what he was thinking. He had always been seen as the joker of the group, the seventh wheel, seen as the one who always tagged along, but was never the true hero.

"I'm absolutely sure, Valdez." Persy replied, putting a hand on his shoulder. Leo smiled gratefully at her, and wrapped an arm around her waist in a tight one-armed hug. The two, much like the others of the Seven, had gotten close after the war, bantering like brother and sister, and were often seen together, if Persy wasn't with Thalia and Nico.

"Lady Athena, how can we seriously be listening to her plan?" Rachel exclaimed angrily, and Athena sighed, looking at the old oracle.

"Rachel, Persephone has created a plan worthy of my own, and I respect her as well. She knows these creatures, and she is loyal to her family and friends. I trust her judgment." The wisdom goddess said, and Persy looked down, her cheeks turning red, but a small smile spreading across her face.

"Thank you, Lady Athena, but it was also because of Sam, Emily, and the pack that we were able to figure out the role that Leo will play." She said softly. Sam gave her a grin.

"How do you even know Sam and Emily? They left before you came to camp." Anthony sneered, and Persy let out a small snicker, making her ex look at her.

"Anthony, Sam is one of my best friends. His mother was my godmother, and mine was his. His mom lived in New York with us, until they moved to La Push. I met Emily years ago when I visited Sam." She replied, and Sam nudged her with his shoulder, making her smile even wider. Anthony scoffed.

"Please. A daughter of Poseidon, and a son of Ares getting along? As if." He said, and Persy rolled her eyes.

"I don't care what you think, Anthony. Your opinion doesn't matter." She replied. Jacob kissed her cheek as he took her hand.

"That's my girl." He muttered, and Persy leaned against him.

"Do you know when Kronos will be arriving, Uncle?" Nico asked, standing beside Thalia.

"From what we have seen, and what we know, two days. That will give you time to train the demigods, and prepare for the battle." Zeus said after a moment of thought. Persy squeezed Jacob's hand, and looked at her uncle.

"Can we just have a bit of free time? I would like to catch up with the Seven, and show Jake around. And I'm sure Seth would like to talk to his imprint." She said, and Zeus nodded in agreement. Persy beamed, and looked up at her boyfriend, who smiled back at her.

"We can go down to the beach!" Piper said excitedly, and Persy nodded. She turned to Seth.

"Go talk to Lacy. Gods know she's probably super confused." Persy said, and Seth took a deep breath, nodding. He walked out of the Big House first, meeting up with the blonde daughter of Aphrodite, and giving her a sheepish smile.

"Can we talk?" Seth asked, and Lacy nodded slowly. The two walked off together, Seth beginning to tell his imprint about the pack.

"Let's head to the beach!" Leo said with excitement. He took off, running through the camp, with his friends following, and laughing behind him. Jacob pulled Persy closer as they trailed behind them, and she rested her head against his shoulder, one hand holding his, the other resting on his upper arm.

"You okay?" Jacob asked quietly, leaning into her. Persy sighed.

"I'm scared. What if this doesn't work? We could all end up dying." She replied, and Jacob couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yeah, but we could win, and we could all survive, and no one could die." He told her, and Persy smiled at his optimism.

"I think I like those odds better." She said. They reached the beach, and Persy sighed, this time more happily. She fell back on the sand, feeling the familiar grains dig into her skin. Jacob sat beside her, and she put her head in his lap comfortably. Jacob's fingers thread through her hair gently.

"So, how did you meet them?" Piper asked Persy, sitting down in front of her with Jason beside her. Hazel, Frank, Leo, Thalia, Nico, and the pack, along with Seth and Lacy, joined them, splaying out across the sand. Persy smiled softly, looking up at Jacob, who grinned back at her.

"So, I left camp with Sam, who as you know is a son of Ares. He's like my big brother and we've known one another since I was born. He was in the hospital room when I was born, and was the second person to hold me." The daughter of Poseidon began, and Sam chuckled.

"She was an ugly baby." He said, and Persy rolled her eyes, sticking her tongue out at him.

"Jerk." She said, with not actual venom. Sam simply shook his head at her fondly. "His mom's my godmother, and we've been best friends since I was born. Em I met when Sam came to visit. He brought her, and, to be honest, I didn't like her at first." Emily nodded, affirming Persy's statement.

"How come?" Hazel asked.

"That's something personal. Between Sam and Emily." Persy replied, glancing at Leah for a moment. "Anyway, after everything that happened with Anthony and Rachel, I left to live with Sam and Em for a while. I had already known about them all being werewolves, but it was the first time I was meeting the pack. I got to hang out with them more the next day, while Sam and Em were out." At this, Persy sent a pointed look at Thalia and Nico, who both grinned widely at her.

"Thanks for that, by the way. We thought Seph had some insane relatives." Paul remarked, and Nico laughed.

"Like we said. We're very protective of her." He replied.

"So how did you and Jacob end up together?" Leo asked curiously, and Persy smiled up at Jacob, who kissed her forehead.

"Well, one day we all were going to go out for lunch, and we were going to race. Me and Jake were going to drive, and the others would phase, and whoever got there first paid for the other group's lunch. However, Jake and I didn't realize that the others doubled back, leaving us alone. So, me and Jake went to lunch together, and that's when he told me about the imprint. We went back to Sam and Em's house to see everyone waiting for us." Persy said, laughing slightly, and Leah high-fived her pack members.

"Still the best plan ever." Embry said haughtily, and Jacob rolled his eyes.

"You know how freaked out I was?" he asked his friends, and Persy squeezed his hand tightly, and looked back at her friends.

"So that's pretty much it. That's how we met and how Jake and I got together." She replied, and her friends smiled.

"I'm happy for you, Persy. For both of you." Frank said, and Persy smiled back at him. She looked at Lacy, who was watching her and Jake curiously.

"Lacy, can I talk to you for a minute?" Persy asked, standing. Lacy, slightly surprised, nodded, and stood as well. The two girls walked a little ways from the pack and the rest of the Seven, and sat down.

"What's wrong?" Lacy asked, and Persy took the daughter of Aphrodite's hands tightly.

"Did Seth tell you everything?" she asked back, and Lacy nodded.

"It's a little crazy." She replied quietly, and Persy giggled softly.

"I know. Believe me, when Jake told me I was his imprint, I thought he was joking with me. Anthony really messed me up, but with the help of Jake and the pack, I realized what an amazing thing an imprint and their wolf had. They'll be anything you need them to be, a brother, a best friend, a boyfriend, but the last one only when you're ready." Persy explained, and Lacy nodded, listening intently. "If you're not ready to fully commit to a relationship with Seth, you two can still be friends, and Seth will completely understand. He'll always be ready for you to make your decision, I promise. But if you are ready, and you want to begin a relationship with Seth, he will do everything he can to keep you safe, no matter what." Lacy was quiet for a moment, thinking over what the daughter of Poseidon had said.

"I think I want to wait, at least until the battle is over, just in case something happens. If, by the end of the battle, we're both okay, I want to try." Lacy said, and Persy beamed, pulling the younger girl into a hug.

"I'm happy to hear that, Lacy." She said, and Lacy hugged her back, before she stiffened. "What's wrong?" Lacy nodded back towards the pack, and Persy turned, seeing Drew Tanaka seating herself beside Jacob, sitting entirely too close to him. Persy's eyes hardened, and she stood, walking over to the group, Lacy following closely.

"Oh, hi Jackson!" Drew said, her voice sickeningly-sweet. Persy crossed her arms, looking at Jacob, who had an uncomfortable look on his face.

"Get away from my boyfriend, Drew." Persy said angrily, and Drew raised an eyebrow.

"Your boyfriend? Honey, he's too good for you." She replied, and the entire pack let out growls at that.

"Great, another Lauren." Quill groaned, flopping back into the sand.

"That's where you're wrong." Jacob said, standing, and backing away from Drew. He approached Persy, and took her hands tightly. "I think Persy is entirely too good for me." Persy smiled happily at him, and pulled her hands away to wrap them around his neck, pulling him down for a gentle kiss.

"Yeah, I think Jacob is happy with who he's got, Drew." Thalia said casually, but threw a sharp, lightning-blue glare at Drew, who huffed, and stood, walking off with a toss of her hair. Jacob pulled back from Persy, and rested his forehead against hers.

"Very happy." He whispered.

Well, there you go, my darlings!

I hope you liked it, and please leave a review!

I promise to see you soon, my wolves and demigods!

Love,

Enchantress
