Hi guys! I am so excited! During the summer, I will be taking a trip to Italy with the rest of my class!:D I just wanted to give you guys a heads up because I won't be able to update for like half a month out of June, and at the end of the year, I won't be able to because I will be going on another trip with my class... just a heads up:D Also, there is a little bit of Solangelo in here...just letting you know. Okay! Now for the story! :D
Annabeth's POV
Oh. No.
"Um."
"Okay, now you're just playing with me! Ha! I actually believed you guys! Wow! You're amazing actors!"
Me, Piper, and Hazel stared at each other. What were we gunna do? She had jus...wait... what if...?
"Um, Tayla? What do you see?"
I pulled out my dagger from my boot. Her mouth hung open.
"Cool! That is a really authentic bronze dagger! Where'd you get it!" She leaned forward to get a closer look.
Oh gods. She's a demigod...or a clear sighted mortal. So does that make her brother a demigod/clear sighted mortal as well?
"Tayla we need to talk."
"Uh. Yeah we do."
"Is your brother with you?"
"Yeah. He came to pick me up. I forgot my phone, so I came back inside. That's when I saw you guys 'fighting' that fake monster. Also, where did you find a fake monster...and...why?"
"Tayla. That wasn't fake. What really matters right now, though, is that we get your brother and leave immediately." she nodded slowly, and gave us a weary look.
"Let me go get him."
TIME SKIP: At the borders of Camp Half blood.
"Tayla, what did you tell your parents when they asked about you leaving?" We were getting out of the taxi. After Tayla got Simon, I hailed a taxi, and we left for Camp Half Blood. She shrugged.
"I just told my mom me and Simon were hanging out with some friends, and we'd be back before midnight. She didn't seem to care much." Simon stepped out.
"Okay. Can someone please tell me why I had to come along?" I looked at both of them.
"Listen. We are about to enter a camp for special kids. Possibly like you. But before we step over the borders, I want to ask you guys some questions." The twins looked at each other, and then at me.
"Okay." Tayla answered.
"Do you live with both of your parents?" Simon looked at his feet before answering.
"No. We live with our mom. Our dad left when we were really little. We don't like to talk about it much."
"Okay. I understand. Next question then. Do either of you happen to have ADHD or dyslexia?" both of them nodded.
"I have ADHD." Kayla said.
"And I have dyslexia." Simon answered. I sighed.
"Well, that's probably all the questioning I need. Oh wait!" I pulled my dagger out, and my baseball cap. I held out the dagger first, "What does this look like?" I asked.
"A dagger." they both answered. I put on the baseball cap. Both their eyes widened to the sizes of saucers.
"Where the heck did you go!?"
"Whoa! You disappeared!" I took the hat off and grinned.
"Well, those are all the answers I needed. Follow me. We are going to go meet someone." Hazel and Piper had already walked down Half Blood Hill, and they were waiting for the three of us to join them.
"Hey guys."
The twins took in their surroundings, "Whoa," I heard Simon reply.
"Welcome to Camp Half Blood."
TIME SKIP: a few hours after they met Chiron.
"So your telling me that my dad is actually a Greek god?" Tayla was taking this better than I had expected. Simon was too. He just wasn't this talkative.
"Yeah. You may be claimed today, and then we can find out what cabins to put you in."
"What about school and our mom?" Simon asked.
"Well, Chiron will set things up with the school. As you know, Percy and the rest of our crew have been able to leave the school at anytime. The secretary, Jessica, is actually a demigod. She can help with pulling you out of school for demigod purposes. So don't go asking to be pulled out of school for no reason. As for your mom, I guess she knows about your father. If she doesn't. We can head back to your house to explain everything. I doubt that though. We will just IrisTime her here and I'll get Percy to collect your things when he leaves swim practice."
"IrisTime?"
"Yeah. It's like FaceTime, but the goddess, Iris, is in charge of it. She's the rainbow goddess. You throw a gold drachma into some mist, or rainbow, and tell her what you want to see. It shows up in the mist."
"Cool!"
"Anyways, since we still have a little time time before it starts to get dark, I'll show you guys where you'll be sleeping until we know who your actual dad is. Once you're settled, I'll get someone to show you around. I need to leave for a bit. I'll be back around eight. Come find me then. I'll have your stuff, and we can talk to your mom." I walked them to a building that was located behind the rest of the cabins.
After the war, a lot of the cabins had been damaged, so, I had helped design new cabins. Since most kids were claimed within a day or two, we built a couple of cabins for them so they wouldn't have to stay with the Hermes kids. It was behind the cabins, and were fairly new since most kids only stayed for a couple of days before being claimed.
"Here you go guys. Once you're done, come outside. I'll get someone to show you around. Remember, come find me at eight. See you guys in a bit." I waved to them, and walked off.
I knocked on the door to the Demeter cabin. A little girl opened it.
"Hi! Annibeth! Do you want to see Katie?"
"Hi Violet. Is Katie here?"
"No. She is with a boy with yellow hair. He makes her laugh. Is he her boyfriend?"
"Um. I don't know. Maybe you can ask her when she comes back."
"Okay. Why are you here Annibeth?"
"I wanted Katie to show around some new kids, but if she's not here, can you ask Riley?"
"Okay!"
"See you later Violet."
"Bye Annibeth!"
TIME SKIP: Annabeth waits for Percy to finish swim practice.
"Wise Girl!"
"Hey Seaweed Brain."
"Wassup?"
"Do you know where the Mills twins live?"
"Yeah. Why?" I told them about the rest of our day as we walked towards the Mills home.
"And, now, I'm here!"
"Sounds like your day was fun. All I did was go to school, swim, and talked with you. Pretty unevent-" he realized too late. Too late.
"Uneventful...huh? Talking to me was uneventful?" I smirked at his expression.
"Pshhh. Actually, I take back what I said. It was a GREAT day." I laughed.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." We arrived in front of a blue, painted home with a white wooden fence. I walked up and rang the doorbell. A lady with brown hair opened the door. She was smiling, and she kinda reminded me of Sally.
"Hello? How may I help you?"
"We are here about your children, Tayla and Simon Mills. They have been safely brought to camp, and we were wondering if we could collect some of their stuff to take back." she looked between us, then opened the door wider.
"Yes, yes. Please come in." we walked inside.
After we had collected their stuff, and talked with Karen, we thanked her and said goodbye. I also said her children would Iris message later on. Me and Percy hailed a cab to his apartment to grab some stuff as we would stay at camp. The rest of the crew was in their apartment eating dinner when we came in.
"Hey guys! We heard about the twins!" Leo said.
"Yeah. I'm going to stay at camp tonight. Anyone else want to join?" they all said they were fine. I said see you later, and headed back to Percy's apartment to get some over night things. I grabbed my bag and headed out the door where Percy was waiting in the cab.
TIME SKIP: at Half Blood Hill for the second time today.
Percy and I got out and paid the taxi driver. We walked down the hill to the camp.
"I'll meet you in a bit, Percy. I'm going to put my stuff in my cabin."
"Okay. I'll meet you at the lake in a bit."
I opened the cabin door, and my brother, Malcom, waved and smiled.
"Hey sis! How are you! Good? Cool! Nice to see you? Gotta go! Bye!" He ran out before I could even blink. Okkkaayyy. I set down my things, and pulled out the designs I had stuck in my backpack. I put them on my desk, and shoved the backpack in my closet. I then walked outside to go find Percy. As I walked past the dining pavilion, I saw Tayla standing behind a bush. I walked over to her.
"Um. Tayla? What are you doing?"
"Oh hey Annabeth! I'm just spying on my brother."
"Why?"
"Because I think he likes that girl Riley."
"The child of Demeter, Riley?"
"Yeah. Her."
"Okay. Just don't mess with them."
"Got it. Where are you going?"
"Meeting Percy at the lake. I put your stuff in the cabins your staying in. Riley will show you. Make sure you ask Riley to show you guys how to IrisTime your mom."
"Kay. Bye."
I got up and walked away. As I walked to the lake, I could see a figure crouching behind a bush. It kinda looked like- oh gods. Him too? I walked quickly over to the bush.
"Percy!" I whisper shouted. He turned around really quickly.
"Wha-" He clamped a hand over my mouth and pulled me into the bush.
"Shh!"
"What the heck?!" I whispered. He pointed to the dock.
On it, I could make out to figures. One was dressed in all black, and was shorter than the other, who seemed to faintly glow. It was probably because his blonde hair and yellow clothes were being reflective of the moon. I couldn't make out who the people were, but then the one wearing all black moved. A glint of silver shown on his hand. It was a silver ring. A silver skull ring to be exact.
"Nico?" I turned to Percy. He was smiling and nodding. I turned back.
The taller boy, laughing, slung his arm around Nico's shoulder and I noticed the bow on his back. Was that Will? He turned just enough for me to get the side profile of his face. It was Will! Now that I think about it, it makes sense. Nico did tell Percy about his crush on him, and Will had nursed Nico back to health when he almost turned into a shadow. They must have become friends. I saw Nico grinning, and Will telling him something. He leaned in and kissed Nico on the cheek. Okay. Maybe Will is more than a friend.
I turned to Percy, and his eyes were wide. He was smiling at the two. I got up, and pulled Percy with me. Maybe we should leave them alone.
"Annabeth! Did you see that!" I almost mentally face palmed. He is such a Seaweed Brain.
"Yeah. Why are you so surprised?"
"Uh. Duh! Because I didn't expect that! I thought he liked a girl!" now I did face palm. How much more oblivious could he get?
"Oh my gods, Percy. You really are such a Seaweed Brain." I muttered.
"What?"
"Do you not remember the fact that Nico came back and told you he had a crush on you? Or the fact that you wouldn't let it go when he said you weren't his type...? Duh!"
"Oh yeahhhh..." I rolled my eyes. We walked in silence for a bit. Half way there, Percy spoke up.
"Am I really not his type? I mean, I thought I was everybody's type!" I threw my hands in the air.
"Wow. Just wow. I can't believe you."
"What? Am I not really his type?" I just kept walking.
"I wonder why he hasn't said anything." he muttered
"I don't know, but don't go and bug him about it. Okay Seaweed Brain?
"Yeah, yeah. Okay. I'll see you tomorrow. Don't worry about being late. I'll just ask Jessica to tell them we had doctors appointments or something. Same with the twins."
"Alright." I kissed him on the lips.
"I love you Wise Girl."
"I love you too, Seaweed Brain."
"But one quick question...How could I not be his type?" I punched him in the shoulder. Hard.
"Ow!"
"Well that's what you get! Now drop it!"
"Okay, okay... geez. Goodnight."
"Goodnitght." I said before walking into the cabin.
I got ready for bed, and went to the twin's cabin to check on them.
"Hey guys, just wanted to make sure you were settled."
"Yeah. We're good." Tayla hugged me, "thanks for everything."
"No problem."
"Yeah, thanks Annabeth." I nodded.
"Make sure you guys get some sleep. Don't worry about being late. Jessica will arrange it so it looks like we had appointments or something. You guys need your sleep, especially after everything that happened today. I'll come get you in the morning, kay?"
"Alright. Goodnight Annabeth."
"Goodnight, Tayla. Simon." I waved, before walking back to my cabin.
