Yeah, It Really is Me -a Percy Jackson fan fiction

I'm Back!

"Hey Hazel, we'll be leaving today," I tell her as she practices archery. Let's just say that she's not the greatest... Haha, like I'm any better. Maybe Chaos can give me that power next.

"Aw, but I've missed you so much!" She notches another arrow and shoots it at the target which is ten feet away. The red-fletched arrow lands about three feet from the target.

"I'm sorry. I've missed you too," I say. "I'm going to go tell Frank and Reyna."

She sighs. "Alright." She fires again and misses by four feet. "Ugh."

I find them in the mess hall for some reason. They are talking about something, but I don't care enough to find out what.

"Hey guys," I greet. "Just wanna let you know that we are leaving today. Probably around dinner. Oh, and Frank, you might want to give your girlfriend more archery lessons." I turn around and leave the room without waiting for a response.

I walk outside and sit under the tree of the nymph that got mad at me on my first day back here. I've come almost every day since, and I've kind of made friends with the girl.

"Hello, Perseus," the driad says when I sit down. I look up and there she is, right in front of me.

Startled by this, I yell, "Ahh!" One, I just wanted to rest and it was quiet and she just surprised me. Two, I haven't heard someone refer to me as 'Perseus' in over two years. That definitely got my attention.

"What?" she tilts her head to the right. "You think I didn't know your true identity?"

"Uhh... Don't call me that."

"I've known all week," she informs me. "Six days ago when you took off your mask for Hazel."

"We sat under a different tree... How... You were stalking us!?"

"Pretty much. But I won't spill. I promise. I just want to tell you to get home. And soon. Find your heart. Fight. May the force be with you." She holds up her fingers to make the 'Spock' symbol for 'Live long and prosper.' (🖖)

"I don't think you have your movie franchises right..."

"Good luck, Percy." She merges back into her tree.

What did she mean by all that? Get home? Where is that? Planet Soahc? My mother's apartment in New York? Or did she not mean a place at all... So, surrounded by the people I love? Like 'go bet back to your friends'? She also told me to find my heart. What the hell is that supposed to mean? And, she said to fight. Well lady, you don't have to tell me twice to fight.

I have to say, I'm going to kind of miss this place. I chuckle to myself wondering how that thought crossed my mind. It's been so long since I was here last. Memories come flooding back to me as I think about Camp Jupiter. Meeting Hazel and Frank for the first time. Going on that fun-filled horrid mission. And, when Annabeth Judo-flipped me... Hahaha. Good times, good times. Also, I visited the college a couple of times. It's really beautiful. Honestly, I would have loved to go to school there. (Notice the 'would have' in that sentence.)

I hear someone yelling my name in the distance (Kai of course, not Percy). "KAI, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE." It's Reyna who's yelling at me. Yep. That just made leaving much easier.
