Percy POV:

We talked and laughed all throughout dinner. As we were walking to the bonfire, a few glowing symbols appeared above Tony, Natasha, Steve, Clint and Peter. "WHAT THE HE-" Clint yelled, when Steve smacked him upside the head.

              [they're all in the cabins i mentioned]

Piper tapped me on the shoulder, then popped up in front of me. "We have a gift for youuu!" she said in a sing-song voice.  Anya handed me a light blue box. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" almost the entire camp screamed out. It was a beautiful guitar. "Chiron told us about how yours was part of the collateral damage so we got you this!" Annabeth kissed me. "Now play something! I've been dying to get back on the drums, and Thalia and Nico have been missing their guitars too." Leo told me. We used to have a band. "Ok, ok, fine. Same songs as our last show." I agreed. I looked into Annabeth's beautiful grey eyes and touched her blonde princess curls. I was never gonna let her go again. As we walked into the stage, the whole camp cheered.

I decided to start with my favourite. " My first song since the war! It's called Family Line, and it's about the toxicity we face, as, us."

"My Step-Father never talked a lot, he just took a walk around the block. Then his anger took a hold of him, and then he'd hit." As my fingers touched the strings, I found unusual comfort in the beat of the drums and the rhythm of my guitar. "My mother never cried a lot. I took the punches but I never fought. I say he's just the one who gave me life, but I truly am my father's child. Scattered 'cross my family line, I'm so good at telling lies, and that came from my father's side. Told a million to survive." When the tempo picked up, I remembered all the pain and all the cries Gabe caused my mother and I, and now how he was roaming free. "Scattered 'cross my family line. Gods, I have my father's eyes, but my sister's when I cry," my eyes changed into the astounding hazel Estelle's were, then the striking blue of Anya. "I can run, but I can't hide, from my family line." I took a breath before my next verse.
"It's so hard to put it into words, how the holidays will always hurt. I watch the fathers with their little girls, and wonder WHAT I did to deserve this; how could you hurt a little kid? I can't forget, I can't forgive you cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me. (Skipped a bit cause it's a little repetitive) Oh, all that I did to try to undo it. all of my pain and all your excuses. I was a kid but I wasn't clueless. (Someone who loves you wouldn't do this) All of my past, I tried to erase it. But now I see, would I even change it?Might share a face and share a last name, but
(We are not the same)." As the song ended, a round of applause was heard all over the camp.

Anya came up to me and whispered in my ear. "Perce Didi. When I grow up, I'm gonna be just like you!" Thals snorted. "No, no, no, absolutely not. No, no, no, Dad's gonna kill me, no, no no no!" I told her. "I'm starting now! This one goes out to Annie. As long as we're together." [song linked above].

A/N: Sorry it's so short, it's my Nanu's birthday and also it's Ganesh Chaturthi, 🌓 so I really wasn't very free. Really hope you enjoy it regardless!!!!!!
