Travis and Conner smirked at us.
"And the happy couple are back!" They announced, making me roll my eyes, and Luke blush slightly.
"Shut up, Stroll's." I snapped and yawned. I hugged Luke's neck tightly, snuggling his chest.
"Have you meet my baby brother then?" I smirked at them. They both raised an eyebrow confused.
"Percy." I said in a duh tone as Luke put me on his bed.
"Ohhhh, yeah. He's alright." Conner said softly. Travis nodded in agreement.
"You've known him longer." Travis added.
"I've only ever seen him twice." I argued and yawned again. I closed my eyes, my head resting on Luke's lap, and fell asleep, everyone talking about us.


When I woke up agin, I felt someone playing with my hair.
"Stop that." I mumbled, yawning. They chuckled.
"Wake up, sleepy head," it was... Castor? Or was it Pollux? I didn't know.
"Hey." I yawned, tiredly, and hugged him. Shadow traveling was something that you either loved or hated. I just wanted to sleep. But I guess that was normal.
"Hey, sleepy head. You've been out all day." He chuckled.
"I'm shattered. Leave me be." I mumbled. I knew it was Pollux. Castor was normally annoying me by now.
"Aw come on, peri." He picked me up, fireman style. I squeaked loudly.
"Put me down!" I screeched. He carried me to the sword arena. I automatically saw Luke glaring at him. He walked to us.
"Put her, the hell, down." He snarled. Pollux put me down, I realised I was still in my casino clothes and I had the card in my pocket. That could be useful. I hugged Luke, the second I was put down.
"Don't get so strung up, just because you have a crush on her." Pollux snarled at Luke.
"Stop trying to steal, MY GIRL then!" Luke snapped and pinned him against the wall.
"Ever, ever, go near her again. And you'll regret it." He continued, his voice low and threatening. Pollux didn't say anything but instead, used some grape vines to tangle Luke's feet together. I gasped loudly.
"Pollux! What are you doing!?" I screamed, the earth cracking beneath him slightly.
"Don't hurt, Luke! And you, mister, don't hurt Pollux!" I yelled, my voice full of power. They both suddenly stopped, Chiron walked in.
"What is this?" He asked, eyeing the boys then I.
"They're bloody arguing. I can't explain." I said, walking out of the arena. I sighed softly, how was I gone a year? I walked to the mess hall, noticing a young girl, but she looked like a tree nymph thingy so I offered her a small smile. She nodded towards me, her eyes like fire but a warm welcoming fire. However, I didn't talk to her. I walked over to where most campers where. Ready to play capture the flag, I guess. I could use shadow travel I guess. I was blue team last time. I walked to Travis and Conner.
"Hey." I smiled and jumped on Travis' back, a playful grin playing on my lips.
"Ah! Oh it's just you." He grinned. Conner smiled.
"Hey, ready for capture the flag?" He asked. I nodded.
"I know how to find the flag." I smirked.
"Just give me the destination of the flag. I'll get it in one second." They smirked.
"How though?" They asked, in unison.
"Shadow travel." I said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. They nodded and have me the destination of the flag. Soon we began to play, the ares cabin hate me. I knew that, though. But I used shadow travel, I was exhausted though. I grabbed the reds flag, panting loudly. Mr D called the game was over.
"Blue win." He yelled, so everyone in the camp heard. I kept hold of the flag, using it to help me stand. I felt like I was going to collapse again. I hated this game. Whenever I played I almost always collapsed. Travis and Conner ran to me, grinning, and then looked at me, wide eyed.
"Cabin?" They asked. I nodded, panting loudly.
"Please." Travis picked me up, I didn't complain though. He carried me to the Hermes cabin, Conner constantly asking if I was okay. I was perfectly fine. I wasn't hurt. That was actually the shorts game of capture the flag ever played at camp.
"I just need sleep." I mumbled.
"Or coffee." I added. I saw Luke and hugged him.
"what happened?" I asked softly.
