"I'm not going and you can't make me," I shout at my mother.

"You will go, young lady, or you will never see Camp Half-blood again," My mother says. She is trying to get me to go to my Uncle Bruce Wayne's place in Gotham. It's only for two years but no camp or trips home.

I run into my room and slam the door behind me and throw myself onto my bed.

I hear the door open and then close. I feel the bed give a little as someone sits down on it.

"Emma, I'm here for you," My best sort of big sister, Fern, says rubbing my back softly.

"I'm not going," I say into my pillow.

"Have you ever met this uncle Bruce of yours?" she asks. I just shake my head, still not pulling it out of the pillows.

"I have," Fern says. I pull my head out of the pillows and look at her like she's crazy.

"How," I ask her.

"You remember Dick, my boyfriend? Bruce is his adoptive father," she says. I flinch at the word 'boyfriend' but Fern doesn't notice.

Then my phone starts ringing. I glare at it for a few moments. Fern gets the message and leaves. I reach over and pick it up off the bedside table and check the caller ID: George Drakan.

'After not 1 but 3 restraining orders, you'd think he'd get the hint,' I think as I answer it.

"I was starting to think you don't love me anymore," The creepy voice of my ex drifts through the speaker.

"George, take the hint and leave me alone," I shout into the phone then hang up.

I put my head back into my pillows. Just a second later, my phone starts ringing, again.

"Leave me alone, George," I yell into the phone.

"Woah, sis, all I wanted to do is say good-bye, no need to chop of my head," My big brother, Percy, says laughing.

"How? My mom's not letting any half-bloods in this house," I say rolling over and sitting up.

"Go look out your favorite window," Percy says then hangs up.

I walk over to my favorite window, the one that faces toward Camp Half-blood. I sigh. I'll miss this view. I look down towards the street down below. I see all of my friends and family waving their hands like crazy people.

I climb out onto the fire escape and wave down to them, a large smile forming on my face.

"Be right down," I shout climbing down as fast as I can. At the last stair part, I can't get the ladder down. I pause for a moment and think. I do a back flip and land right in front of my best friend in the whole wide world, Moonlight Wilson.

Moonlight is a daughter of Artemis, so she and Fern are half sisters. She and I are two peas in a pod. George tried to kill her too but she dodged the axe. I wasn't fast enough and the axe gave me a scar that pulls down my left eye and the left corner of my mouth.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Ems. I wish I could go," Moonlight says in a rush, pulling me in for a hug.

"Me too," I say pulling back to look at her.

'Her hair is the same length as normal, her eyes, too. So what is she hiding?' I think to myself.

"I get to come too," she shouts out finely. We hug again, shrieking our heads off.

After a while, I start to head back up to my room. Then I feel a necklace being placed around my neck. I stiffen, ready to judo flip the person.

"Its OK, Ems. Its a gift form Dad, Tyson, and me. Go ahead, look at it," Percy says. I pick up the necklace's pendent from where it lay on my throat.

It looks like an eye. My eye, in fact. Same sea blue-green color, and with flecks of bronze in it. It hangs on a simple leather cord.

"Thank you so much, big bro," I say, throwing my arms around Perc's neck. I have to jump to do so, because my brother is 6"3 and I'm only 5"5. He puts his arms around my waist as I nearly choke him to death.

"Its a late 'Sweet-16' gift. Sorry its late," he says as I finely let go of him. I turn my head and look up at him. He is 5 years older, and the best big bro a girl like me could have.

I finish saying good-bye to the rest of the group and head up to my room, where I change into my PJs and hit the sack.
