Lizzie rushed into the room where Annabeth was in.

"Annabeth!" She exclaimed at the sight of her friend, enveloping her in a hug. "I'm so glad you are awake!" Annabeth chuckled weakly.

"Me too. Lizzie. Me too."

"From what an Apollo kid told me, she's lucky that she's even recovering almost immediately. What the hell were you thinking, you idiot? I thought you were supposed to be the wise one!" Piper said.

Annabeth shrugged. "Being in mid battle don't exactly give you time to think and process everything."

Lizzie gaped at her. "I think thats the first time which I heard you say you can't think."

Annabeth gave her a half hearted glare. "Not funny." She looked at the both of them. "What about Leo? Any news of him?"

Lizzie immediately turned to Piper, who shook her head sadly.

"Unfortunately, no. He's still missing. He may or may not be dead." Piper swallowed, her head shaking in defiance. "He's got the physician's cure though, I'm sure he'll be fine. Festus must be with him. The two of them are a strong pair."

"Well, the Hephaestus Cabin must be feeling down. I'm sure Leo will be fine. If not we'll all help to find him. The Hephaestus cabin may be able to invent something to track him." Annabeth said softly.

Piper nodded. "Well, I've got to go. I promised to help them out in sorting some things out. Unfortunately," She made a face. "Drew will be there."

"I'll come along to help." Lizzie made a move to get up but Piper placed a hand in her shoulder. "It's alright Lizzie. Stay here and chat with Annabeth." Piper gave her a smile before she exited the room.

"How's your back?" Lizzie said as she stared at the bandaged area and winced. "That looks painful."

Annabeth grimaced. "It's fine. Just stings sometimes. I've had worse."

"Haven't we all?"

Annabeth grinned. "I suppose so. So how's rebuilding going? From what I've heard, it's almost finished."

"Yeah, and I didn't help much." Lizzie said glumly.

Annabeth snorted.

"Please, I know you. I bet a hundred drachmas that you overworked yourself and Chiron forced you to go to sleep or rest."

Lizzie ran a hand through her long hair. "Why does everyone say that?"

"Probably cause its the truth, Lizzie."

Lizzie rolled her eyes and raised her hand in mock surrender. "Fine fine, I get it. Your royal wiseness."

Annabeth smacked her, but Lizzie dodged it.

"Now calm down, owl face." She was about to continue when she heard muttering a out side the door and people running about. "I better go see what it is. Catch you later."

Apollo stood near the pine tree as he gazed around the camp. Rebuilding was almost finished thanks to the help of all the Roman and Greek demigods, Satyrs and centaurs. Even some of the nymphs had helped.

"Well Brother, I suppose since Father has punished you too, you'll have to stay here. Which means you can help me deal with these brats." Dionysus said.

Apollo nodded, ignoring his brother's comment about the demigods. "Where will I stay?"

"I suppose you could stay in your cabin."

Apollo shook his head. "My kids will feel uncomfortable."

And besides, where's the privacy in that?

"Or, you could stay in a room in the big house."

Apollo nodded. "That'll do."

By now, demigods had stopped in their rebuilding and Chiron had approached them. Besides Chiron, everyone else was mostly gawking at him and muttering so could be heard everywhere. There was even some finger pointing.

Apollo's eyes searched the crowd. He could see a bunch of kids that looked like him. They were all staring at him with their jaws hanging open. Apollo could understand, it wasn't everyday your godly parent came to the camp.

He continued searching the crowd, but was disappointed to find that Lizzie wasn't there.

She's around somewhere.

After Chiron had exchanged a few words with Dionysus, Chiron spoke up.

"Everyone, this is Apollo, the God of archery, music, poetry, medicine and the sun. By Zeus' command, he will be staying at Camp Half Blood for three months and help out in the rebuilding of the camp."

Everyone knelt before Apollo.

"Please, rise." He said before flashing them a quick smile. He heard several Alhrodite girls swoon.

"He will also be here to teach archery."

At the last statement, Apollo raised an eyebrow at Dionysus.

"Well, at least you can give the brats a hard time. They could use some hard work. Especially that Lily Johnson."

"Everyone, now you can get back to your work. We are almost done. Lunch is in two hours!" Chiron finished and the demigods started to go back to their tasks.

"Speaking of her," Apollo began. "Where is she?"

Dionysus shrugged. "Maybe she decided to become a dolphin. That would be nice."

"Now, now Mr D," Chiron said. "Lets not say that, shall we? Ah, my lord Apollo, now as I understand from Mr D, you have asked to room in the big house, I would, take you there myself, but I have things to attend to. So I suppose we'll have to find someone."

Just then, a figure came running up to them and almost bumped into Apollo.

"Sorry Chiron, I thought I heard some commotion. So I came out to see what it was." She said before looking at Apollo. Her sea green eyes widened. "What is he doing here?" She asked incredulously.

Before Chiron could answer, Apollo cut him off.

"Now Chiron, I believe we have found the person to take me there. I'll tell her my reasons for being here. After all, Lizzie and I have some things to catch up on."

Apollo almost laughed at the expression on Lizzie's face as Chiron and Dionysus walked off.

"What in Hades are you doing here?" Lizzie exclaimed once she had gotten over her shock.

Apollo feigned hurt. "What, that's it? No Hello? Welcome to camp? No, you look dashing today?"

Lizzie rolled her eyes. "Hello Mr Sun. Now why are you here?"

Apollo whistled as they started walking. "Father dear decided to send me here for three months as a punishment for that Octavian incident."

Lizzie's eyes widened again. "Three months? Stay here? What will you do here?"

Apollo shrugged. "Help out in rebuilding and teach archery, I guess." Lizzie muttered under her breath. Apollo could here here swear in Ancient Greek.

"Why the reaction?" He asked.

"Nothing." Lizzie mumbled. "Just that I happen to be hopeless at archery."

"You can't be that bad."

"Try me."

Apollo winked at her. "Well, I'll be teaching, so it can't be too horrible. After all, the handsome God of the sun is here." Lizzie rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, that is totally great. So why aren't you rooming in your cabin?"

"Awkward. Besides, where's the privacy in that?"

Lizzie nodded. "True."

They passed by the lake and the naids waved to them. Apollo gave them a bright smile and waved back. He saw Lizzie's sea green eyes turn slightly stormy.

"You're jealous." He whispered in her ear.

Lizzie snorted. "What makes you think so?"

"I just know."

"So now you can read minds?"

"I just happen to understand yours."

They entered the big house, and Lizzie crossed her arms. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Go figure." Apollo said.

"Oh this is going to be a long and torturous three months with you around." Lizzie said as they reached the door of Apollo's room.

Lizzie was caught off guard as Apollo turned her and pushed her against the wall. He gazed down at her face as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Oh it'll be long. But it won't be torturous. In fact, I'll make it one heck of a stay at this camp."

Lizzie raised a challenging eyebrow at him. "Really?"

Apollo leaned in until their faces were extremely close to each other and stared at her for a few moments before he pulled away and opened the door.

"Really." He grinned. "Now see you later." He said before closing the door, leaving Lizzie standing there with a shocked expression in her face.

She scowled as she walked out of the big house, her heart still hammering. Stupid Apollo and his stupid blue eyes.

"Indeed." She muttered as she went to help out in the rebuilding. "See you later."

Thanks for reading and the reviews :)
