The New Demigod At Camp Half Blood

What Now?

                    .PERCY.                        
When we walked into camp, everyone looked at us in silence and disbelief and disappointment that we failed to protect the demigods.

They looked at out grim faces. Thalia carrying a unconcius demigod, Stacy, a hunter of Artimis, injured and leaning on Piper, and the dead body in my arms.

I take the body to the unused room in the infirmary, the one for deceased.

I hear someone clear their throat
Behind me "Hey Percy, Chiron wants to see you in the big house, about the new girls,"

I glance at the doorway and see Pollux. He looks genuinely sad about the death of this little girl, he doesn't look at me like the other campers have. He never has. While we were looked at as leaders and heros by the other campers, he had never looked at us like that. To him we were always the same as him. I appreciate that. He never asked questions like the others and when we returned of finished a battle he gave us a nod and walked off.

"The rest going?" I huff.

"Yep, we are all having a meeting in the Big House."

"Lead the way."  I bow at the door.

Pollux rolls his eyes and we walk out. I fall in beside him and we walk in silence. Out of the corner of my eye I see Pollux keep glancing at me.

"Spit it out," I run a hand through my hair. I wait for him to say something about the girl being dead.

"How hard was her head hit?" His purple eyes fill with despair, "Will she remember, or will we have to tell her all over again?"

This question caught me off guard. "I don't know. But I am going ti check in with Will after the meeting."

"Mind if I tag along?"

"Knock yourself out." Woops, that might be a tad inconsiderate.

When we get to the big house we take our seats, all of us looking glum. Annabeth leans her head on my shoulder and I throw my arm around her.

"Alright councilors, please listen while we are told the story." Chiron, in horse form, nodds at us to continue.

Thalia sighs, "How much information do you want?"

"All of it," Mr.D grumbles, "please wast all or time, Talitha Grason."

"Thaila grace-" She snarls, though she is missing some of her usual spunk, "-you should know that by now." She looks at all our faces.

"All of it Thals." Annabeth mumbles next to me.

"Fine, I'll tell you. When my hunters and I went to Baskin Bobbins, we encountered Celeste and-" she draws a shaky breath, "-Eliana. They were talking about Greek gods and who they would want to be there mother."

"Wait didn't you say that the girls mom was mortal?" Piper cocs her head to the side.

Thalia looks like she had just entered a mine field, "Yes her mom is mortal." Thalia spits with distain.

"Then why-" Piper starts just to be silenced by Thalia's glare.

"Anyways, there were four Emposa and some humans messing with her. We got out and I took her to our camp and told her about demigods. She didn't believe but Eli did. Artimis told me to get Eli a weapon and enchant it so that Eli could not harm herself with in." There were tears in her eyes and she let out a chuckle, "She was so amazed by everything. She told me that she was going to be a hunter some day. Then I went to take the girls home but they wanted to go straight to camp."
