I flicked my wrist and all of my soldiers appeared, fully decked in armor. I pulled put StormSlayer and ran towards the camp borders. Thalia's tree was slowly being chopped down, and looking back, I could see Thalia wincing in pain each time the tree was cut. She must have still had a faint connection. And then I turned to face the monster who was chopping down her tree. The Minotaur himself.

"Hey Beefy!" I called, sheathing my sword. I wanted this to be like old times. He growled and snorted when he saw me. His eyes glowed an eerie red. Then he charged.

I quickly sidestepped and summoned a red cape. Just like in a bull fight. "Come on! You can do better than that!" I taunted. I was enjoying this. He charged again and I leapt into the air, landing on his back. I grabbed him by the horns, laughing as he began to buck. The old Percy Jackson wouldn't want to savor the moment. But I wanted too. He was an old enemy. Then, I ripped off on of his horns and plunged it into his chest, turns him into a pile of gold dust. I wiped my hands on my pants and tossed the horn at Thalia who caught it instinctively. But now, Grover was looking at me funny.

Did you bother to stop and think about how defeating the Minotaur like you did the first time could bring back memories? Reveal your identity?! Luke was screaming on my head.
Possibly. Now let's fight. You better hurry if you want the soldiers to save you any monsters. I said back. He glared and then charged. I shrugged and then unsheathed StormSlayer. Within minutes, the entire army was a pile of golden dust that floated away into the air. The campers had done nothing and they looked dumbfounded.

"H-How did you beat that thing?!" Annabeth said, jaw hanging open.

"I could've beat it in a second!" Alex said  puffing out his chest. "I wouldn't need a red cape and powers to do it!" He cried.
"Shut up Alex!" Nico grumbled. Annabeth nodded. "You couldn't defeat a monster in a second if it was chained to a wall, unconscious, and unarmed." Nico yelled at Alex. Then he stormed away. I glanced at Bianca and nodded. She turned and ran after Nico. I sighed.
"Come on soldiers." I called over my shoulder, my hand around Hearth's waist. She smiled at me and her glowing brown eyes sparkled. I knew then that she was truly my soul mate, not Annabeth. We walked back to the cabin. I was about to go into my room when Erin stopped me.
"Let's go for a walk in the forest." She said, voice cheerful. I shrugged and flicked up my hood. She did the same.
When we got to the forest, we walked to the creek. I gestured towards it and she winked at me. Then I jumped in and made an air bubble. Then Erin jumped in next to me.
The bubble cocooned us together and I pulled down her hood. She pulled down mine and we kissed. I wrapped my hands around her neck and she sighed happily as I tickled her. I laughed and did it again. And that's when we heard Annabeth scream my name.  

"Chaos knows whats going to happen if she tells the others." I cursed, propelling us to the surface. I jumped quick;y out of the bubble and raced after Annabeth, Erin right behind me. Finally, I caught her, tackling her in the dinning pavilion. "Not a word Annabeth." I hissed into her ear. Then I realized that we were surrounded by campers. And then I noticed that my hood was still down...

How could I have been so stupid?!?
