Waddup guys! Two chapters in two days! I am on a roll! Helz yeah! Or was it three days...

Mistook

Being back at camp was both good and bad. Good because I was home again, bad because once again I was away from Percy. As I walk over the hill Thalia sees me and runs over to me.

"How's Percy?" She asked glumly.

"He fine. Why didn't you come with?" I replied.

"Not supposed to leave camp remember?" She snarled.

"Liar. You could've come if you wanted too. What's the real reason?" I stop her and give her my look that says "If you don't tell me I'll kill you."

"Fine. I just figured you two needed some alone time. I've seen how you've moped around camp –"

"I do not mope!" I exclaimed. She gave me a hard look. "Do not." I grumbled under my breath.

"Anyway even if it is very unmaiden like of me, I figured you could use a weekend together."

"Thanks for the thought Thals but his friends were there quiet a lot." I'm not complaining, his friends are great, they always are!

"Gods! Doesn't Seaweed Brain know anything?" Thalia rolled her eyes.

"It's OK. His friends are cool. You should have seen their expressions when they found out what we were!" I laughed.

"Annabeth! I thought you were the smart one! You told them what you are?!" Thalia gripped my arm.

"Well we kinda got attacked and besides one of them is a half-blood. Just not sure which one." I left out the fact that I had slipped up because I knew that Thalia would never let me live it down.

"How do you plan on finding out?" Thalia asked, frowning.

"I left it to Percy. One, he knows his friends better than I do, obviously. Two, it's not my job. Three, I need to be here working on the video for DEC."

"And four, you don't know how to suss them out." Thalia smirked. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Whatever floats your boat."

"Shut up." She grumbled. "Anyway, we've been working a bit on the video. Here, come with me."

She lead me farther onto camp and into the bog house. Once we were in there we went into a room – not the ping pong room – that had various people in it. There was Apollo kids who were arguing over some CD's. Hephaestus kids who were working on a rather old camcorder. Hermes kids who were discussing the entertainment value of different things. Aphrodite kids discussing what look people should have for the newer clips, and finally some Athena kids who were talking about what should go into to the film and were arguing about whether or not it would show us in a good light and whether or not that mattered.

"Annabeth! You're back!" Malcolm called across the room, silencing everyone.

"Have a fun weekend?" An Aphrodite girl asked with all the implications clear in her tone of voice.

"Wonderful thanks." I smiled at her. I couldn't wait for Piper to get back.

Piper was with her dad, talking to actors and other people he knew who were demigods. She offered them help in case they wished to come to camp. Some of them wanted to help us. They figured if the mortals saw a familiar face, or their fans would stay with them. Piper encouraged that. She also got a lot of negative people. People who denied who they were. They'd threatened to turn her in. But Piper was brave and she held her own... Or would charmspeak them... Just a little. She never forced them to join us but she would stop them turning her in.

"How goes the preparations guys?" I'd left them with a few simple tasks before I left but as soon as I asked them this they all started talking all at once. I could tell they'd been arguing over every single thing. At least the Hephaestus cabin seemed happy with themselves.

"SHUT IT!" I yelled. I looked at Thalia.

"There may have been a little trouble..." She said nonchalantly. I sighed and got to work. First I headed over to the Apollo guys.

"So what's up with you guys?" I asked.

"Well... You left us in charge of music... a soundtrack to the whole thing yeah."

"Yeah... So did you not find any good music?"

"No... We found too much." I groaned. Here we go.

"Okay, what do you have for me?"

"Okay so we've decided on Teenagers by My Chemical Romance. That one is definitely in."

"Good, I'll give it a listen tonight. What are you fighting about then?" They each looked at each other.

"Okay so far we've got:

Simple Plan: I'm Just a Kid

Bruno Mars: The Other Side

Skillet: One Day Too Late

Paramore: Born For This

And these are all just general songs for the whole thing! We have some specific things too."

Suddenly they all glanced at each other.

"Spit it out." I snapped. I took a deep breath. "Just tell me."

"Well we were planning for there to be a section on you and Percy... In Tartarus and when he got kidnapped and... Well you know. How unfair it was. How we don't actually get a choice and –"

"Yeah I get it. It's a great idea. Really." They all looked at me as though they had mistook me. Great, do I really come off like that?

"We also have a few for when you guys are fighting in the actual battles like the Battle of Manhattan." I nodded.

"OK well we've come up with some ideas:

Evanescence: Bring Me to Life, for when you miss Percy... Maybe."

They seemed really unsure of telling me this, in case I mistook it for being too sensitive or too embarrassing or something like that.

"Go on."

"Olly Murs: I Need You Now, Percy when he wakes up. You know because he doesn't remember anything except you vaguely.

Imagine Dragon: It's Time for when Percy is fighting in the Titan war, you know when he got real angry... Yeah um...

Michael Buble: Home for when Percy was in camp Jupiter –"

"So far the mortals don't know about Camp Jupiter so we may not be able to tell the full story of the Giant War 'Kay guys?" I projected my voice more so the others could hear. "We won't be able to have Hazel or Frank as everyone from Camp Jupiter are being held there. Since Jason is acting as our link with them he too is still there. He and the other two are trying to convince the Romans to help."

Everyone scowled as they heard this. A few angry voices called out, most of them cursing Octavian.

"Oh well... Here's what else we have:

Pink: Try for when you guys where in... you know where. We just thought maybe you guys would be feeling something along these lines... To be honest we have no idea what it was like for the two of you and were hoping you could talk about it."

The very idea of sharing what happened quite frankly scared me. I had never spoken about Tartarus before. Not to Thalia, not to Grover, not to anyone. Not even Percy. We had never spoken about what happened. We never had to. One look and that said it all. All we had to do was look at one another and weirdly enough it felt better. But there was no way I was admitting that, not to anyone and definitely not in front of a camera.

"Evanescence: My Immortal for after you guys left escaped.

And I think that may be it." I sighed. That was a long list.

"Okay guys the video won't be long enough to have all of those songs but I'll give them a listen tonight and decide on where to go from there." (A/N which means you guys will be having a part in the decision! So just review or PM me which songs you like, you can only vote for two and I'll choose the most voted for songs. Teenagers is going to be part of it so don't vote for that ^_^)

"But I'll also think about the order of clips and yeah." I moved on to the Hephaestus guys.

"Hey how's it going guys?" They all grinned at me which made me feel a bit better that I didn't have to sort out any problems here.

"Hey Annabeth! 'Kay we decked out the camera to be water proof, for any underwater shots Percy might feel like doing. Fire proof because you just know Leo will want to get his hands on this. The zoom is freakin' awesome! Like major! The effects are freakin' insane –"

"Spare me." I said dryly. "Lemme guess, you got Leo to help?" They all blushed.

"Yeah."

"Thought so." I smiled and moved on.

"Wassup?" I asked the Hermes kids.

"Okay let me just ask you something!" One guys said immediately. "What exactly are we meant to be getting across?! I say we're trying to say 'Hey we're just harmless kids who play pranks on each other' so I say show them some of our best pranks!"

"But I say we're trying to say that we've risked our lives over and over for these guys and we ask for no thanks but we at least want some respect for when they find out!"

"Well I say we're showing them that we never got the chance to be kids!"

"I say we tell them about our most unfair deaths! Ones of people giving their lives at such a young age and for what? So that the people we protected would then hunt us down! A montage of the people who died!"

"What about showing them that we're not grouchy people who mope around? How about we just say that we're kids and we know it! Show them capture the flag! Show them pranks!"

"GUYS!" I couldn't help but let the frustration out. "We're meant to be showing them all of this! That we are kids who have seen too much, done too much. And without a choice. But at the same time make it sound like we do it for them and all we want is some respect. You know what I mean right guys? Instead of arguing about this work together to put it all together. Then liaison with the Apollo guys tomorrow to put the music together. Talk to the Hephaestus guys about the newer clips we'll have to shoot. Got it guys?" They all grinned at me and nodded. I walked away but could still hear them arguing, not as badly, now it was more about how much of each should be put in.

"Yo guys." I said to the Aphrodite girls. This should be interesting.

"Hey!" One girl said perkily. "What look exactly are we going for?"

"I mean, I totally think everyone should look super hot!" another girl gushed. "Who can resist a smokin' hot guy or girl right!"

"No!" Someone else squealed. "We need them to look dangerous, dark, mysterious..." She shivered and looked lost in thoughts. I really hoped I had mistook her expression.

"Um... What about making everyone look different." I suggested. They all looked at me. "Give everyone different looks. Play to peoples strengths. Oh and try not to go too overbroad or I'll have to get Piper down here 'kay?" They shared looks. "Oh and also have a chat with the Athena guys over there later to see who will be in the video."

"Awesome!" The bubbled. As I moved on I heard them discussing who should have what look.

"So Malcolm." I said as I walked up to him. Surprisingly Hale, the new kid, was there. "Whatcha doing?"

"We're wondering who should be in the new clips. So we got Hale to be included because he's one of the newest and is pretty smart." Hale beamed at Malcolm. "So we're telling him the different err legends of camp and see who he's most impressed with."

"You are so cool Annabeth! I'm so happy you're my head counsellor!" He jumped up and down. I glared at my cabin mates and they all looked away some whistling innocently.

"Gee thanks guys. But how about you think up some other great people other than me and Percy." They all blushed. (A/N and by them I mean you guys! Think of famous people who could be demigods such as Abraham Lincoln or Shakespeare! As well as old demigods such as Perseus or Orion)

I looked around the room pleased with myself when I saw how everyone was working together now.

"Who's our little miracle maker?" Thalia said sauntering up behind me.

"Shut up Thals." She just laughed.

"We have a counsellor meeting after diner so we're missing out on the campfire. Not that it matters anymore. No one seems very excited even if we get a chance to be treated normally we still can't have our campfire back. Not the awesome multicoloured flames. Not the awesome fireworks. Not the usual songs." Thalia had adopted the Hunters attitude towards camp a little but she had always loved our campfires. And now she couldn't even have that. This whole thing just sucks!

"Okay. Any news?" Chiron started the meeting in the same way he usually does.

"Hades still seems like Hell." Nico laughed again at his now getting old joke.

"Piper got Kyla Brookes to come to camp! She is so cool! She's gonna be here in a day or two. I can't wait! I mean, did you see her in –"

"Any actual news?" I cut in.

"Yeah. One extraction squad needed. Missouri I think." She grumbled. Chiron wrote down on his clipboard.

Leo was back for Hephaestus cabin and told us this, "The sewers didn't have as many kids as I'd hoped. I think lots of parents are actually giving their kids up to the DEC!" He exclaimed. "But there were some kids who had run away when they found out. Some as young as six who had been kicked out or felt that they had to run away! It's horrible. They're all here now, about half a dozen of them."

We all sat there in silence as Leo ranted.

"What kind of parent who do that to their child?" He whispered. "At first they mistook me as a spy for the DEC. I had to convince them I was a demigod just like them. Each and everyone one. Children who shouldn't have had to be down there in the first place." He coughed and smiled. "One squad needed in Wyoming." Chiron noted that.

"Um... Katie?" Chiron asked.

"Conner and Travis are still holding up, surprisingly. But none of my guys are in need of the DEC." She stated.

"Uh, None for me." Will Solace told us. And so we went round. Only a few squads needed but the meetings main focus today was on me and the video.

"So Annabeth. How's the video coming along?"

"We've got a playlist that we're gonna shorten from the Apollo guys." Will smiled at me. "Hermes cabin have done an awesome job but need to think together a little more. Hephaestus cabin have done amazingly well!" Leo clicked his tongue twice and snapped his fingers at me. "Yeah yeah Leo. Aphrodite cabin are working on appearance and from some of the stuff I heard you guys are gonna look... great." Clarisse frowned, obviously hoping not to be dressed up. "Athena cabin were working on which legends but need to travel back a bit further. I would tell you more but I want it to be a surprise."

"Why don't Ares cabin get a say in the video?" Clarisse growled.

"What would you have them do?" She said nothing so I moved on. "We have everything planned out, mostly... but we need to put it together. I need Hermes working with Apollo to help each other out."

"Yes ma'am"

"I need Athena working with Aphrodite working on who and how."

"Check!"

"I need Hephaestus working around everyone else to get an idea of what they're supposed to be filming."

"On it!"

"Once that is done I'll need all four cabins working together and Hephaestus to film that, got it?"

"Got it!"

Everyone looked around at each other looking a bit happier than they had in weeks.

Later as I walked toward my cabin I saw the others coming back from the campfire looking worn down.

"Gods I'm so happy we get some sleep now!" I heard someone say. Yeah, lucky you. I get to stay up all night listening to songs and writing down legends and *Yawn* probably won't get much sleep (A/N which is what I did. I stayed up until 6 this morning writing this!)

"Night guys." I called as I walked down the hall.

"Night Annabeth!" Everyone chorused. I listened to the sounds of everyone getting ready for bed and I turned on my laptop (Which I had gotten from Tartarus when I was down there) and went on youtube. Time to search up some of these songs. The first ones I looked at were from War to kidnap to reunion to Tartarus. I had to admit, they summed up my feelings pretty darn well. This was going to be a long night.

Ok was that chapter good? Hope so. Two votes per song and one legend please! Have a nice day or something!
