Everyone shows up. Where were they five seconds ago!

"Why'd you scream Shipwreck?" Um do you not see what I look like? I try harder to mess it up. Nothing works!

"Why'd I scream? Why Did I Scream! Do YOU NOT SEE WHAT I LOOK LIKE! I'm in heels, a dress, and Makeup! Plus it won't go away! And on top of all that I'm stuck in charmspeak mode!" I yell in a sing-song voice.

"Ande I know how you feel. The blessing of Aphrodite lasts only a couple of days to a couple of weeks." Rose smiles sweetly. Like she wanted this to happen. Well you know what this sucks!

"Great Just What I Wanted! Ugh bad enough I have the blessing of Aphrodite, but I bet I also have the blessing of Poseidon too." See I can tell from all the blues, greens, and seashells. Yes, I'm Athena cabin smart. I just chose not to use it. I flop dramatically onto a chair. Yes I am also dramatic, jeez keep up.

Rose walks up to me. But I stand up, and move towards Nico.

"Andromeda my dear, it's okay. Let's go talk, and visit your brother and sister." Schist. I didn't tell anyone about that. I hide behind Nico. Maybe this will shield me from reality.

"Don't call me Andromeda my dear. I'm not your Andromeda my dear anymore."  I whisper.

"Don't charmspeak me young lady! You forget where you get your charmspeak from! I am your mother you will listen to me!" I move in front of Nico so that I can see her better.

"You. Are not my mother. My mother died along side my siblings. She died when she left her three defenseless small children to die on there own. Without help, or a sign. Without anything. And no warnings that the monsters where already there. When you told me that what I felt was nothing days before. We could have had a chance. But no we didn't. We didn't stand a chance. My mother  died when my 7 year old brother, Caleb, and my 5 year old sister, Samantha died! Leaving her 11 year old daughter to fend, take care of, and nourish them until it was too late. Leaving her 11 year old daughter to grieve alone with strangers. Leaving her 11 year old daughter to save the world and look for her mother at the same time. Leaving her all alone. You are not my mother. You are just a woman who looks like her. A mother would never do that to her children." I say never raising my voice. I storm out of the big house.

*Friday*

I have been using to my advantage for pranks. We got Drew to wear crocs for a day! I stay away from Rose. I can't stand to see her without being reminded what I used to have. It doesn't help anyways. Each night I wake up screaming from nightmares of the day when Sammy and Caleb died. Not Percy, not Nico, not Annabeth, no one can take them away. Not even the Hypnos cabin can make them stop. Nico and Leo look at me differently. But Leo is like my brother, and Nico doesn't like me in that way. Today is the last day Camp Jupiter is staying with us. It's Greeks verses Romans in Capture the Flag. I don't know what side I'm going to be on. I don't even know if I'm going to play. I'm just so confused I don't know where to start. I probably should pick a side. Even though this will be difficult since I'm still wearing what the toga dress thing. But I still have my powers. I should go tell Annabeth and Reyna which side I'm on. Which side am I on though? Well the Romans have a bit of a disadvantage, so I'll be roman today. Plus I can't be on the same side as Rose right now.

I just wish she would apologize, or try to get to know me. Just maybe try. If not for me, then for herself, or maybe for her children.

I make my way over to Annabeth. She has been heavily working on the battle strategy against Camp Jupiter.

"Hey Anna Banana." I smile shyly.

"Hey Ande. What do you want?" She looks up skeptically.

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to play for the Romans."

"Okay."

"You're not mad?!" She shrugs.

"Not really. You have your reasons. Plus between you and me the Romans are a bit at a disadvantage." We laugh.

"I was thinking the same thing."

Leo p.o.v.

I try to focus on making a shield, but I just can't. To many things are going through my head. Like how Ande looked. I don't like it. I don't like how everyone was looking at her. Don't get me wrong I love Calypso. Ande is just the little sister I never had. She's one of the few people who actually cared about me. Calypso walks in behind me.

"Hey fire breath. What's wrong?" I shake my head.

"Nothing. You know just trying to make this shield." She kisses my check. The tip of my nose catches on fire. She giggles.

"Don't stay too long." I stick my tongue out at her.

"Mr. Mcshizzle Badboy Supreme can do what ever he wants." She rolls her eyes as she walks away.

Now that I think about it. Which I really don't do that often. Nico was awfully close to Ande. You don't think? Which again I don't do. Nah. The Son of Hades wouldn't fall for the Daughter of Poseidon. Would he? Wait this is Nico I'm talking about. Of course he's not. I put my tools up and leave Bunker 9.

Nico p.o.v

I walk into the training arena humming "Hey Soul Sister" while smiling. I know shocking. Me, Nico Di Angelo smiling and humming! Sorry, that I'm happy for once people, Jeez. Can't a guy get a break. Why am I so happy you ask? Well my amazing best friend, who is amazing by the way, and I are going to play Mariokart. But won't that attract monsters? Yes. But 1) we are in a camp that has magical borders against monsters. 2) Ande can sense monsters. And 3) Ande is an amazing hacker, and might've hacked into Dealdus' laptop, and then coded it onto all of our game systems. We're not stupid. Anyways back to the arena. Curse you ADHD! Did I already mention how amazing Ande is. Well she is. Curse you ADHD! Back to the arena AGAIN!
