Nico's POV
The sun was beaming down through the gaps in the tree branches. Each step I took making a crunch under my feet. My hands comforted in my aviator jacket as I continue through the forest. After a while I had gotten used to the quietness that was rarely ever heard back at camp, the birds chirping, the twigs snapping, the river gushing. I had finally gotten some peace and quiet, that is until i jinxed myself. I heard commotion and talking up ahead and just figured I had been walking in a circle. I decide to check it out anyway. As I creep in closer to ease drop I couldn't help but hide behind a tree, who knows? Might be a conversation i'm not supposed to hear. Most of the sounds I picked up were just muffled as everyone was talking over each other, there was a pretty big crowd. I get impatient and decide to peak past the tree to get a better view. All I could see where other campers huddled around something. I contemplated whether or not I should abandon my hiding strategy and let my curiosity take over, when I hear Jason shout something loud and clear.

"YO, PERCY? IS THAT YOU?" He walked up to a dirty looking boy holding up an even dirtier looking girl. "Where have you been?" Jason asked quieting his tone as he got closer to the two. Following shortly behind him was Leo.

"Percy? Is that really you?" Leo asked, moving his head in closer to get a better look.

"Yea it's me," Percy replied back to both of them. "Could you maybe? Give me a hand please." He said gesturing to the dirty looking girl who i'm guessing is Annabeth.

"Oh right, yeah, of course man." Jason said as he swooped up Annabeth from the other side. "Leo, you grab the other side, Percy looks like he needs a break." Jason suggested. Percy looked hesitant at first but eventually let Leo take his place. Jason was yelling some orders at some other campers but I couldn't hear from how much distance they covered already. oh no, this is bad I thought to myself, you think he remembers what happened?

"Where's that little son a God? If I had my sword I would cut that little freaks head off." Percy provoked in such a calm way that it terrified me.

"Yep, he remembers." I muttered to myself. I quickly jolt back behind the tree as Percy looks my direction. Gods I hope he didn't see me.

Percy's POV
I squint my eyes shut as a brightness washes over my face. When my eyes adjust to the sudden change I try my best to keep Annabeth standing and get her some help when I see someone approaching in the distance.

"Percy? Oh my Gods" Said a camper I didn't even recognise. "Guys come check this out!" With that a whole crowd of people started coming from different directions. I was flooded with questions that I didn't have the energy to answer, my main focus was getting Annabeth help. As I try to push past the crowd it was no luck, they had circled us and were keeping us caged up like rats.

"Alright, please move." I manage to get out but with all the noise and commotion no one heard me. I was started to get mad when I heard someone yell.

"YO, PERCY? IS THAT YOU?" I recognised the voice right away, it was Jason. He pushed through the crowd and rested his hands on his hips.

"Boy am I glad to see you." I said with a smirk rising on my face. Behind him I could tell there was someone else trying to get through the crowd, but he wasn't as successful in doing so. He appeared and I noticed that it was Leo.

"Jeez, is everyone here to see you? are you famous now?" He jokingly asked not expecting an answer. Without warning he leaned in far enough that we were almost touching. he then squinted his eyes and returned back to a normal stance.  "Percy? Is that really you?" Leo asked me.

"Yea it's me," I replied back. "Could you maybe? Give me a hand please." I ask while motioning with my head to Annabeth who was basically laying on me by now.

"Oh right, yeah, of course man." Jason said like he hadn't noticed Annabeth this whole conversation. He swooped in and wrapped her other arm around his shoulders. "Leo, you grab the other side, Percy looks like he needs a break." Jason suggested but I couldn't help but hesitate. After everything we've been through together, this was the first time in what felt like ages that I was gonna be separated from her. I let Leo take the other arm and together they basically dragged her past the crowd. Jason yelled at some campers in the 'audience' to inform the infirmary and suggested I get checked at too.

"Where's that little son a God? If I had my sword I would cut that little freaks head off."I say directing it to the campers who probably have no idea who or what i'm talking about. I was about to say something else when I heard something in the woods.
