Golden shadows(a Percy Jackson, and the Olympians fanfiction)

Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ７

Isabella's  POV: I look around the cabin as we walk to the spots where are things are. I can hear them whispering about us  I sigh as I grab my bag and open it and smile sadly as I pick up the blue M&M's I look up when I hear some kids talking behind us," That's the kid, I think he's the one that killed the minotaur." I sigh in slight irritation as I see a group of boys led by a tall guy with curly hair, really well fit, and a scar over one of his eyes ...good looking. I scoff as I glance at Khai who is already walking forward, "If you want to give me a hard time, just do it tomorrow." I hear Percy say," Or don't even think about it." I said tilting my head  with a slight glare the guy looked at us before he began to speak," I Heard what happened to you guys on the hill and I just ...wanted to say I',m sorry ." I freeze as he says that looking down before looking back up, at him, "Thank you." I whisper as I drop my purse onto one of my suitcases, "I know what you're going through believe me." The guy continues Khai looks at me with a small smile, "I'm fine." I mouth softly walking over to him as Percy goes to shake the guy's hand, "I'm Luke ." I hear him say.

Percy's POV: I glance at the guy's hand before shaking it gracefully with a tight-lipped smile," Percy." I say after I finish. Khai steps forward and shakes his hand strongly, "I'm Khai his brother..this is -." Khai starts to introduce Isabella but she steps forward, shaking Luke's hand with a slight smile, "Isabella or...Bella." I raise an eyebrow glancing at my older brother. She has got to be kidding me how can she flirt at a time like this?

(with Melody and Grover)
Melody's POV: I smile as I am walking back to the camp from the beach, where the mermaids that help with the camp with my sisters are when I notice Rover walking in the direction to speak to the council," is everything OK with Percy and the twins?" I ask concerned the twins might be tough but I know them not being here is crushing them both from the inside out. They'll keep a strong front so Percy doesn't worry, but I know it's eating them as he turns around looking at me I smile softly, holding back a laugh at his jumpyness," Gods you need to stop doing that Kyron took them to the Hermes cabin. The twins are a little strong, but they should be fine." Rover map out I furrow my eyebrows, nodding my head, trying to ignore him calling grieving teenagers high-strung.," And Percy? " I asked softly. Grover looks down. I shut my eyes tearing up as I remember the night before," That's uhh that's hard and complicated." Grover sings not my head understanding scoffing as I remember how close Sally was to all three of her children," Who are you telling? " I say sarcastically rhetorically and Grover never really got close. Matter of fact, we argue more than you would think because he always thought he appeared to me to be older seeing as he had been a protector before... but I'm sure it doesn't help the fact that I've known Percy practically since he was born I remember when he was born," I feel like something happened to Sally." my head perks up at Grover's sudden warrants is he kidding me right now what we not standing on the same hill last night?" Grover-" I start to say, but he cuts me off, shaking his head," last night on the hill. It was weird right she faded like one of our creatures would but Sally Jackson was human." my eyes wide, and then curiosity as he points out that one very big detail and he's right me. I would die like that. I'm a mystical creature Grover would die like that...... Demigods and humans are different. They have to be tended to or they die a painful slow human death," I'm coming with you." I state before I snap my fingers pointing in the direction of the council he gives me a small smile before turning around and continuing his journey.

(later on)

Grover's POV: I slowly approach the table where Chiron and Mr. D are playing a game Melody has already gone off to find the twins," Sorry to interrupt.. is now an OK time to talk?" I asked nervously Mr. D gave me a high-pitched no. Chiron says yes, nodding his head. I go as I look at the head of camp before spitting it out," It's Sally Jackson... I think I know what happened to her. I've never seen a miniature crush a human to death. But I just assumed that they would get squishy... like an old banana. " I say stumbling on my word some," Grover." Chiron starts to go on, but I can't stop myself because something isn't right. Percy has only ever had his mom his entire life and if she's alive maybe that'll give him a better way to be comfortable here, knowing she's safe," but she evaporated like a monster would... so I went to the cloven council and they had heard of this before! And that one of the mortals is close to death Hades himself can reach out and—" I start to go on, but Chiron cuts me off," yes we know ." he states I look between him and Mr. D in shock if they know, why are they letting Percy be this depressed? He believes his mom is dead. They all do,"b-but you haven't told Percy anything ?" I question.," No one is going to tell him anything and we have to make sure that neither of the twins figure it out. Don't share this information with Melody." Mr. D tells me now I am happy. I didn't mention that Melody went with me and already knew about half of what I said," but doesn't he deserve to know the truth?" I say worried.," Grover the truth can be dangerous. If not handled well " Chiron tells me I look down and go partially. I don't wanna lie to Percy anymore.
