Found (PJO/ Twilight Crossover)

34. Hideout

Two chapters in one update. Just trying not to lose the momentum. 

~(Aurora's Pov)~

The game went surprisingly well yesterday and our team was able to win. The only problem was that Paolo got stuck in one of the traps Cabin 9 and had to have his arm reattached again. 

Paul was very concerned that this was a common enough occurrence that nobody freaked out. At least that got him to start talking though he was oddly quiet after the game ended. I know Percy had something to do with it. So I decided to cheer him up or at least try to.

"Come on I want to show you something" I was trying to pull him into the forest but he didn't want to go.

"Why can't you just show me out here?" Paul said not budging.

"That won't work now come on" I tried to pull him again "Don't you trust me"

That made him fold and start following me albeit reluctantly.

Paul stayed close to me while we walked deeper into the forest. I hope Percy didn't do anything to bad. We took a few more turns before we go to the place.

"Ta-Da!" 

"There's nothing there. It's just trees" Paul was right it did look like just a random bunch of trees but that was the genius of it.

"That's just I want people to think" I said walking up to one of the trees. I jumped up and knocked it loose.

Once the ladder had fully unraveled Paul seemed to understand. 

"What is this place?" Paul asked following me up the ladder.

"This is my escape from reality" I answered opening the trap door.

The tree house was just how I left it. There were blankets and a pillow all shoved into a corner and other things thrown everywhere. There was also a full duffle bag shoved in one corner in case of an emergency.  It wasn't that big to begin with but it felt smaller now the wolf growth spurt. You couldn't see it from the ground because the trees were too thick in this part of the forest. 

"Why'd you bring me her?" Paul was looking around at the mess 

"I thought we could come here when the camp gets to much for you. Thats what I do. No one knows about it either" I sat down on the pile of blankets.

"I like that idea" Paul smiled and sat down next to me.

We stayed there for a few hours just talking and playing around till we decided to go back before Percy read a search party.

~Time Skip (A Few Days Later)~

"I can't belive you have to leave tomorrow. I've barely seen you" Leo complained. He had only resurface yesterday from his project.

It had been nice to visit but we had to get back soon for Bella's wedding. I know Jake's stubborn but I hope he will at least get close enough to town for me to catch him. I was gonna miss everyone here though. It felt weird not seeing them everyday and missing out on the big things. Apparently Jason's proposal ended up in a huge diaster that I'm not even sure what happened but they mutually broke up. And it took them days to tell me because they forgot I wasn't there. At least going home would mean I get to see the pack again.

There were only eight of us all gathered in the Posidon cabin. Autumn had already fallen asleep despite her best efforts to stay up late with the rest of us. 

"We still have tonight at least. What should we do?" Annabeth asked, her and Percy were being sitting next to each other on one of the empty bunks.

"Game night?" Jason offered. We used to do game nights before I left and they were always the best.

"But what should we play first?" I asked getting up and pulling the box free from under one of the bunks. We had a good amounts of games collected. There were some games that were banned by vote of course, Monoploy being one of them.

"Oh what about Twister" Nico said pulling the box free "I'll call it"

We made our own Twister mat a few months back to make it big enough for everyone to play. Everyone agreed even Paul. I think the whole group together scared a little bit even if he would never admit that.

Once the game was all set up, Nico had fun calling out the directions. I don't think he was even using the spinner. He enjoyed controlling us to his amusement especially once he found his new target in the less than flexible Paul. It's the only way to explain how Paul and Annebeth ended up practically on top of each other. Everyone found it very amusing except Paul who was embarrassed and Percy who found it the opposite of funny.

We played almost all the games until Piper kept falling asleep in the middle of Uno and we had to call it a night.

Saying good-bye to Camp but going back for the wedding. Who's ready for the disaster to follow? Yay! (844 Words)
