Charlene's pov.

Charlene had accepted the fact she was a demigod pretty easily. It was strange and she probably would've called Piper crazy if she had been told a few years ago. Now she just sat there silently. She'd never met her father. Her mother never talked about him. For all she knew she was adopted. Piper sat there next to her waiting for her to speak. She never got the chance. The ship landed jolting them both.

Piper had taken them to her cabin so no one would see Charlene's reaction. Both girls stood hurrying to the door. Piper pushed it open. They walked into the hallway where they met Amanda and Jason. "We're here." Jason told them giving Piper a quick peck on the cheek before hurrying up towards the deck.

The three girls followed. The sight of the camp took Charlene's breath away. She slowly walked over to where Maybeck was standing at the railing. They had landed in the middle of a lake. Beyond the shore a crowd of teens was standing all staring at them. "Wow." She said quietly. The camp was beautiful. Green grass, a forest in the distance. Like a regular summer camp. Except for the fact that the building were made mostly of marble and looked like they belonged in ancient Greece.

"Wow is right." Amanda said quietly. She stood on the other side of Maybeck. Charlene couldn't help but notice she kept glancing over at Finn and Percy a few feet away. "You have a family Manda." Charlene said reaching over Maybeck to squeeze her friends hand. Maybeck scoffed. "You believe this stuff?" He said raising an eyebrow. "Yes" Charlene said simply.

"AMANDA!" That was Jess. Charlene turned to see her stumbling awkwardly toward them with the help of Dillard. Charlene grinned opening her mouth to tease Dillard. Before she could Jess stumbled slamming into her and sending her over the railing and into the water.

She shrieked as she hit the icy water. She floundered trying to keep her head above water. Despite her efforts her head slipped under. Her lungs were screaming for air. She saw someone dive into the water above her. She felt strong arms encircling her waist and pulling her upwards. Then she blacked out.

Maybeck's Pov

Maybeck launched into action. Ignoring Jess wailing that she had killed Charlie he dove over the edge of the ship. The water was cold but he ignored that. He plowed through it. Charlie was slowly sinking below him. Her blonde hair billowing in the water. She looked small and helpless. He reached her and wrapping his arms around her pulled her upward through the water.

When he surfaced there were people there. Strangers. They pulled them ashore. Someone gave Maybeck a blanket. Someone else tried to take Charlene from him. He resisted. She wasn't breathing. Adrenaline pumped through his body. His mind was clouded except for one thought. Charlene's safety. "She need's mouth to mouth." someone told him. "Let me help." Maybeck shook his head to clear it. "No. I can do it." He insisted pushing the boy away.

He laid Charlie down on the sand. Carefully he tilted her head back. She still wasn't breathing. He carefully placed his mouth on hers and began to give her air. With a shuddering gasp she began to breath. Her eyes fluttered open. Maybeck quickly moved away from her as she began to cough up water.

She sat up and upon seeing Maybeck beside her threw her arms around his neck. "You saved me." She whispered into his ear. "All in a days work." He said blushing. "Nice job." The boy said from behind them. "I'm Will Solace. Head of the Apollo cabin." He held out his hand to shake. Maybeck opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted.

"Nice job?!" The girl was pretty. Very pretty. With long brown hair and brown eyes. She pushed Will out of the way. "He's a hero!" She gushed. "I'm Drew." She said turning to Maybeck. "Terrance Maybeck at your service." He said. He heard Charlene scoff behind him.

Splashing came from behind them and they turned to see the rest of the group walking through the lake. They weren't wading. No the water had parted and they were walking along the lake bed. Maybeck thought of Amanda. He quickly realized that it was the boy Percy. Piper and Willa came running up to Charlene (Jess hobbled behind them as fast as she could having ditched Dillard complaining to Amanda that he looked like a tomato and couldn't speak perfectly good English because he was stuttering. ) Finn approached Maybeck. "What happened?" He asked. Before Maybeck could answer Drew did. "Terry saved that poor dear's life!" She said. "She could have died!"

"Okay. That's enough!" Charlene said "I'm fine honestly. Thank you Maybeck! Now will you all please stop staring at me?" Maybeck turned. "Woah." Mere minuets before Charlene had been soaking wet and covered in sand. Now she was very dry, not a speck of sand was on her, and she was glowing. Literally. There was a glowing pink aura around her. Her hair was curled and tied back into a pony tail with a pink ribbon. She was wearing a matching light pink dress and a golden necklace hung around her neck. "What?" She demanded.

Piper was the first to move. She knelt bowing her head. "All hail Charlene Turner. Daughter of Aphrodite." Everyone, including Maybeck, followed suit. Charlie finally looked down at herself. "Oh my God!" She said eyes wide. Piper produced a mirror and handed it to her. "It's called Aphrodite's blessing. You can change your clothes. That's about it. the hair and makeup will wear off eventually." Charlene nodded staring at herself in the mirror.

"Okay everybody! Nothing to see here! Move it or lose it people!" Piper said. Most everyone did as she said. Maybeck had to fight the urge to get up and walk away. Charlene approached him carefully. She was barefoot. Her beat up sneakers were gone. Her nails had been painted the same shade of pink as her dress and hair ribbon. "You look really pretty." He told her. She smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Terry." She whispered in his ear before following Piper to her new cabin.
