Bea's Pov

"I told her this was a bad idea, but did she listen? No!" I yelled at Pollux. We were in our cabin, it was late and we didn't want to get eaten by the harpies. "Bea, she knows what she's getting herself into, plus you know what Luke is like to her, she's like a sister to him, he wouldn't hurt her." Pollux said, walking to his bunk.

"I know, but I don't know what Kronos is like." I started, "You heard what Percy said, Kronos took over Lukes body." I finished, wiping away the tear that fell. "I know Bea, but you have to trust her. That's how a marriage works." Pollux said, looking down at me from his bunk.

"How's it going anyways, and how're Adi and Jo? I hope you guys didn't get divorced, again." Pollux asked. I was about to answer when a knock came from the door. "Bea? Are you still up?" I heard Adi ask. I opened the door and left both of my "children" in. "What are you two doing here? The cleaning harpies are out, you could've gotten hurt!" I yelled, closing the door behind them.

"We can fight them off mom. Gods, we're not little kids." Adleigh said, walking over to my bunk. "Adi's right Bea, we aren't little kids anymore, we've grown up." Joanna said, sitting next to Adi. Joanna was the newest addition to camp, she was a part of Cabin Six. She was also mine and Texas' kid, along with Adi of course.

"I know that, but still. Those things are vicious. Believe me, I'd know." I said, walking to an empty bunk. "Oh I'm sure you do, going to see your girlfriend, and not our mother. How could you? Cheating on your own wife." Jo said, looking down, acting disappointed. "Oh haha, very funny. Why are you guys here anyways?" I asked, throwing a pillow at them.

"We know." Adi said. Fuck. What did they know? It couldn't be that could it? No one knows, not Pollux, or Chiron. Shit, not even Robin, and I was dating her. Not Charlie, and she works for him too. No one knows that I work for Luke.

Yes, I work for Luke. He's my brother. Maternal of course, it's not like we both have Mr. Alexander Hamilton wanna be our father, no I have an old drunk. Sure he was more present than any other god, but he was forced to be. The Gods are all going to pay.

"Bea? Bea! Wake up!" I heard someone yelling, then someone was slapping my face lightly. "Huh? What?" I said, snapping out of my day dream. "You zoned out, did you hear what we said?" Jo asked, looking at me intensely.

"No... stop looking at me like that Jo, it's creepy." I said, looking back at her. Adi rolled her eyes and laughed. "We said that we know Charlie was taken back." Adi said, lying down. I let out a breath of relief, they didn't know. "Oh right, that." I said, looking down.

I shook my head and stood up, "That's enough for one night. Head back to your cabin, and go to bed." I said opening the door. Adi and Jo nodded their heads and ran out. I walked to my bed and fell on it. "Somethings wrong. What is it?" Pollux asked, hopping off his bed and heading to mine.

"Something is going to happen to Texas, I know it. Kronos is unforgiving, Luke would have some mercy, but he's gone. Kronos is all that's left." I said, leaning my head on Pollux's shoulder. "She'll be fine, she's too valuable an asset to Kronos." Pollux said, looking at me.

"You're a great brother Pollux, don't forget that." I said, hugging him. After Castor died, Pollux blamed himself. He thought of himself as a terrible brother, not being able to keep his twin safe, alive even. "If you say that enough, I think I'll start to believe it." Pollox said, hugging me tighter. "Good." I said, pulling away from the hug.

"Now go to bed, it's almost midnight." I noted, pushing him towards his bed. "Good night Bea, love you." Pollux said, walking away. "Good night Pollux, I love you too." I replied, lying down. Pollux shut the lights and we went to bed. I'd have to deal with Luke tomorrow.
