The New Demigod At Camp Half Blood

Take a breath

...... Percy's POV.......
We finally arrived back. And since none of us wanted any delay, we only stopped twice.

We jump out of the car and make our way to the border. I have expect Celeste to be sitting there waiting for us, but instead it's Nico.

His face is stoney and the bags under his eyes are darker than they usually are.

Eliana runs up too him and grabs his arm. "Where's Celeste?"

Nico sighs, "She's in the infirmary. She's recovering great, but she still hasn't woken up."

"She will though right?" Eliana looks at him.

Nico Pat's her head, "She's strong, I'm sure she will pull through."

Eliana nods, "Can I see her?"

Pollux steps forward. "You should eat first, and maybe nap. I will make sure that you are the first to know if she comes too." Eliana looks sceptical. Pollux places a hand on her shoulder. "Besides, do you really think Celeste would not come to you as soon as she could? They would have to tie her legs together in order to keep her from leaving."

Eliana smiles, "Yeah. Okay." She let's go of Nico and follows Pollux to the pavilion.

"Is there anything else?" Annabeth asks.

"Yeah there is." Nico rubs a hand over his face, "She woke up two days ago. She was fine for a few minutes before she barfed dirt and then passed out. She has been unresponsive since."

I look at the others, "Well we can't do anything so how about we clean up, eat, and rest."

With heavy hearts, we say our goodbyes and part ways.

...... Eliana's POV......
I am not as gullible as they think.

I knew the minute that I left they would be talking about Celeste. But I guess they told me what I needed to hear.

I look at Pollux as he pushes food around on his plate. He seems pretty nice and as worried about Celeste as me.

"Hey Pollux, you went on the quest with Celeste right?" A boy a few years younger than me, asks Pollux. After getting a nod from him the boy beams, "Where is she? I want to show her my new sword!" The boy bounces on his heels.

For the kids sake Pollux puts on a little smile, "She is a little preoccupied, but I'll make sure she knows you want to see her."

The boy deflates and I can't help but try to cheer him up. "You can show me though. I am her sister, the next best thing."

He plops down nest to me. "Really how long have you known Celeste?"

"All my life. She was there when I was born."

The kids eyes go big, "Your her sister? You died! That's so cool your back now!" He sticks his hand out, "My name is Kayden. Celeste gave me sword lessons! What's your name?"

"I'm Eliana. It's great to know you were their for Celeste while I wasn't."

Kayden grins, "She is pretty cool. I wish she was my sister. My sister's don't let me do much on my own."

"Yeah, Celeste is great." I look at Pollux, "I am going to walk around camp. I'll see you later."

Pollux looks to me with a frown, "Are you sure you'll be okay?"

I nod, "Yeah if Kayden wants he can join me, that way I won't get lost."

Kayden nods, "I would love to!"

We walk off and leave Pollux behind so he can have a moment to himself. I noticed that he was ready to drop, so I made sure that he didn't feel like I was his responsibility.

"So Kayden, tell me about your sword."

A little while later Kayden showed me too my cabin. He's a very sweet child and I have already decided that I will not let anything happen to him .

When I get inside, I can automaticly tell witch bed is Celeste's. Just like at home, the bed is unmade and littered with schetch books.

Taking great care to slide the things on too the nightstand, I climb into bed and close my eyes. And when I fall asleep, I dream of death.
