Fixing up the camp is going to take some serious work. Most cabins in the area of the attack are now rubble or have a sunken in roof. A beautiful faded sky tells me that it is dawn as I look at my surroundings from the front porch of my cabin.

"Even NYPD couldn't protect us from this attack. I know as usual your blaming yourself... Oh, how beautiful," says Percy as he steps shirtless out of the cabin.

"What's NYPD mean?" I ask as I turn towards him.

He stretches his arms, flexing every muscle and showing off the eight pack his abs form. After, he throws his arms around my neck and places a light kiss on my cheek.

"Its a group of men that protect the state they live in, which in this case happens to be New York," he finishes and then drops his arms to his sides.

"Now come back inside. The sun hasn't even arrived on the horizon in the sky," he says taking my hand and leading me back inside. Before I shut the door behind me, I look up at the night sky and I could've sworn one of the clouds winked at me, then turned into a dark cloud and then changed back into a white cloud.

"Percy, I think it's going to rain! We have to warn everyone that has a damaged cabin to go to the dining hall," I say as I loosen his grip on my wrist and run towards the damaged cabins in sight.

As I lead everyone in the damaged cabins in sight, to the dining room I see Percy doing the same to the other damaged cabins. He points to me and the other campers in the damaged cabins follow me to the dining hall.

"You must stay here until Percy or I come back inside and say it's ok for you to come out, ok?" I scream standing on one of the many tables in the dining hall.

Everyone cheers a loud ok and I watch as the over 100 campers set up sleeping bags and blankets to fulfill a good night sleep.

"Night everyone," Percy and I shout to everyone as we struggle to walk around the many campers that surround us.

I take Percy's hand to drag him to our cabin before the rain starts, but he stops me.

"I'll meet you back inside the cabin, I promise," he whispers to me while gripping my shoulders with his muscular fingers.

I nod my head and sprint back to our cabin before the rain starts. I get back to the cabin in less than two minutes due to the super speed I use to run. I then jog over to my vanity and sit at it.

"Mirror of Reflection, show me Percy," I say while lacing my fingers around the corners of the ivory framed mirror that holds my vanity straight.

The mirror flashes my face with fluorescent light and then focuses into an image of Percy standing at the entrance of the dining hall. He closes his eyes and begins to lift his arms infront of himself when it begins to rain cats and dogs. He continues the ritual he and I know very well. The protection ritual that will protect both the doer of the spell and whatever the doer is trying to protect. Only very powerful demigods, gods and goddesses can perform rituals as such. He continues the ritual by mumbling με τη δύναμη των σένα την προστασία των παιδιών από τους θεούς και θεές την προστασία αυτού του στρατοπέδου και την προστασία σου three times. When he finishes the ritual, he opens his eyes, places his arms by his sides, looks up to the sky and kneels to the ground. The sky crackles of lightning and then disappears. He stands up, brushes himself off and then starts to walk back to my cabin.

"Thank you Mirror of Reflection. That is all," I say to my vanity quickly before I run my brush through my hair and run over to my bed, just in time as Percy walks through the door dripping wet.

"Let me get you a towel," I say nonchalantly as I crawl off the bed to my bathroom and give him a towel.

"Thank you," he says as he throws his shirt off and takes the towel.

"Percy, you didn't even need the towel! Your already dried," I say looking back at his now dry chest.

"Haha. I always forget that I dry faster than humans and other demi gods," he says throwing the towel on the back of a chair that accompanies a large circular table.

He then crawls onto the bed and into the covers. I join him.

"Good night, Kam. Love you," Percy says before falling into a deep sleep.

He then in the middle of his sleep, wrapped his arms around me in a tight cuddle. I then fell asleep, dreaming dreams of never waking up from this memory that will forever always be in my mind.
