After sixteen years, I did not expect to be chased by two metal cows with my aunt sally, little cousin Percy Jackson, and Percy's best friend- Grover Underwood.
but the one thing I never saw coming,
Was Luke castellan.
And the war, duh.
along with t...
We were the first heroes to return alive to Half-Blood Hill since Luke and jake, so of course everybody treated us as if we'd won some reality TV contest. According to camp tradition, we wore laurel wreaths to a big feast prepared in our honour, then led a procession down to the bonfire, where we got to burn the burial shrouds our cabins had made for us in our absence.
Annabeth's shroud was so beautiful – grey silk with embroidered owls – Percy told her it seemed a shame not to bury her in it. She punched him and told Percy to shut up.
Being the son of Poseidon, Percy didn't have any cabin mates, so the Ares cabin had volunteered to make his shroud. They'd taken an old bedsheet and painted smiley faces with X'ed-out eyes around the border, and the word LOSER painted really big in the middle.
It was fun to burn.
The whole Hermes cabin had fun making Lukes's shroud. Light brown edges with colorful golden embroidered hands holding all types of objects Luke must have stolen during his time at Camp Half Blood. In the smack middle was a Bumby stitched stick figure.
Luke found it funny. Laughing till his face went red, but he didn't stay happy for long. Jake was nowhere to be found. Chris said Jake was sulking in some corner.
My shroud was surprisingly designed from the Aphrodite and Hermes cabin. Onyx Black with lightning bolts reflecting off me. One of the Aphrodite kids stitched me in the center, making me look like a baddie.
Which I am.
As Apollo's cabin led the sing-along and passed out toasted marshmallows, I was surrounded by my old Hermes cabinmates, Annabeth's friends from Athena and Grover's satyr buddies, who were admiring the brand-new searcher's licence he'd received from the Council of Cloven Elders. The council had called Grover's performance on the quest 'Brave to the point of indigestion. Horns-and-whiskers above anything we have seen in the past.'
Unfortunately the only one's not in the party mood was moody war child and her grumpy ass siblings. Understandably they didn't quite like percy for beating thier dad's ass.
But boo hoo that thick fucker deserved it even though he definitely was not in the right mind.
But That was okay with me.
Non-surprisingly, my favorite drink uncle welcome home speech was not enough to dampen anyone moods. 'Yes, yes, so the little brat didn't get himself killed and now hell have an even bigger head. Well, huzzah for that. In other announcements, there will be no canoe races this Saturday...'
I felt touched he only insulted Percy in his speech. Clearly I am the favorite.
I felt...at home. Of course I love my little family in New York, but everyone here in camp-half blood are just like me. Very different, but very much alike.
The night was coming and all the little kid's were getting tired, so everyone started to go back to their cabins. Little by little more and more camper's went to bed until It was just me and luke.
We sat across from each other, stealing glances every now and then, before I got up. The nerves in my belly were on fire. Suddenly, i'm not so nonchalant. He watched me, gripping the log he sat on.
Holy Zeus he is so fine!
" Hey." I said, nearly a whispers, when I reached him.
" HI." He looked up at me, looking at me In a way that had be going crazy inside.
I stood in front of, turning my body, before sitting on his lap. He didn't push me off. Instead his hand's went immediately to my hips, pushing me closer. The fire in front of grew just slightly bigger.
" So, about that kiss." I started off.
he laughed a little, " The kiss? That's what the topic for today?"
" It's the topic for right now." I started to play with his hair, pulling him into my spell because their is no way in hell I'm going to do all this and him not be a simp for me. No way.
" Hm, if you say so." His hand trailed up, going under my shirt. His thumb rubbed back and forth right above my wrist.
" That's right. Good boy." I booped his nose. His cheeks went red, his smirk flatering for a just a moment. My smile widened, boarder on evil type smile.
Though the moments was ruined as my father decided in that moment to claim me. LIke threw his head back, blushing his ass off. I got off of him with a pout, kicked the ground.
" What the freak, bruh!" Above me, glowed a thunder bolt.
" All hair, Febe Hurn, daughter of Zeus king of the gods, Thunder shaker of the sky's, the almighty!" Chiron came out of nowhere. Sleepy kids shuffled out of the cabin to bow, many of them falling over and falling asleep face down in the dirt.
" Yeah, yeah. BED TIME!" I shouted. I turned to luke, bending down giving him a quick kiss before running to cabin one, to see new and old stuff at the step's. I blew the Aphrodite kids a kiss.
