Khionie walked over and every step she took ice spread on the floor. Then she did something I never thought of,she hugged me!

"Follow me"she says.

She starts walking up the icy stairs and the funny thing was, I didn't slip on the ice. She leads me down a hallway and then stops at a snowflake decorated door.

"This is your room if you decide to stay with me" she says

"What do you mean stay with you"? I ask

" You can stay with me for as long as you like and learn to control your powers and fight with swords and such with your uncles if you want to" she says.

I ponder on that for a moment thinking I don't have any other place to go and I don't want to be weaponless and no experience fighting. So my decision should be....

"Yes, I'll stay here" I decide.

"Good lets get you settled"she responds

She leads me into the room and starts talking but I zone out and look around my new bedroom. It's all made of ice and the sheets and blankets are an icy blue, the view is of the snowy tops of city buildings.

"I will teach you your powers and how to control them and I will set up times when my demigod brothers can teach you weaponry"she says.

"Cool"I say not listening

"How is your brother and father, are they doing well"?she asks.

That caught my attention"the last I heard my brother was off with wolves heading to a roman camp and my father remarried and still lives in Seattle" I wistfully say.

"Good, he seems happy"she responds.

"Are you ready to learn"?

------------4 years later--------------------

"You must leave"khionie tells me.

"Why do I need to leave"?I ask.

"Camp Half-Blood needs help with the second Titan war and you have so much power and skill you can help even more than that Jackson child"she says.

I am now 11years old and lived at the icy penthouse for 3years and have been trained using my ice and snow powers and now know how to use a sword and bow and arrow but I excelled best with throwing knives.

"Do you really think I need to go mother"?I ask.

"Yes and you will leave first thing tomorrow morning, so pack all your things"she says.

"Alright"I say and turn and walk up toward my room. I open my door to the bedroom and start gathering all my things. I don't want to leave,this was one place that I loved to live in,with all the flirtatious jokes from my uncle Zethes and stupid but funny remarks from my other uncle Cal and the lessons I got from my mother and grandfather and thanks to them I now speak fluent French and Greek. But I have no right to argue with my mother who is known to have a temper and turn people in to ice statues. Plus I wouldn't mind seeing the mortal world once again after 3 years. These thoughts go through my mind all night until finally I fall into a deep sleep that unfortunately has dreams.

My Dream

I stand in a room with me at end and a boy with jet-black hair and sea-green eyes. He starts walking over to me and find myself being drawn to him as well.

"Helen I missed you"he says.

" Who are you" I ask

" You don't remember me" he looks truly disappointed that I don't recognize him, but I have never seen him before in my life.

" No I'm sorry I never seen you before"I say.

" Helen, you must remember me please I love you don't you love me back"? he asks.

"No, I'm sorry but"he cuts me off with a kiss and I pull back.

" Who are you"?I scream.

"Percy Jackson the person you don't want as an enemy" he says.

Then the dream left me with his words echoing in my head.

I get up out of bed and look at the alarm clock 8:30, so I start doing all the normal morning things and finally go downstairs and grab a price of toast and watch my uncles arguing over who helped Jason the most on his quest for some Fleece.

"Are you ready"?my mother cuts me off from the entertainment.

" Yes I am"I say.

" Where are you going"?Cal asks

"To the Greek demigod camp to help out with the Titan war"Zethes answers.

"Oh"Cal says disappointed.

"Helen we will miss you gorgeous, now remember to hold the sword correcting and make the first move in the battle because I don't want your pretty face scarred"Zethes tells me.

"I will miss you too, Helen"Cal adds on.

"Let's go now"my mother tells me. So I grab on to her hand and we turn into a pile of snow. If you don't like coldness,unusual feelings and darkness then blinding white light then I recommend not traveling with my mother.

After a second or two we land on top of a hill over-looking a valley full of cabins , arenas and a big house.

"This is where I leave you, Helen , just remember to stay safe and help all you can and be a all-year camper because I'm sorry but you can't live at the palace anymore"khionie says.

"What, why"? I ask.

"Because Zeus is forbidding contact with demigod children and you are still a demigod"she tells me.

"Oh" was all I can say.

"Bye Helen"khionie speaks.

"Bye mother"I say fighting back tears.

And then she is gone and I am standing on top of a hill fighting back tears and stare at an empty spot on a hill. Then I regain my posture and stare at the camp and the strawberry fields

"Welcome to Camp half-blood" I say to myself.
