Human Within - Percy Jackson Story

Emotions

"What the hell was that Hunter?!" As soon as they reached their camp Charlie yelled at him. Son of Apollo just sat down casually. Rest of them was too surprised and confused to do anything. They were just watching. "You weren't supposed to do that! It was against orders!"

"Like I don't know that." Hunter said calmly. "Sorry, CAPTAIN, that I couldn't just sit and watch how they are blacking my friend, who was wrongly accused of something!"

"He knew what he is signing up to by coming here!" Fred was getting red and more red. He felt totally uncomfortable with them arguing about him. "You broke an order that might put all of us in danger. Specially him!" Charlie pointed at Fred. They never saw him that angry before."And you know who's responsible for you? Who gonna take the hit? It's me and Firefly. So yes. You should had sit and watch."

"Come on, Charlie." Firefly took a try in calming him down. Even Isabelle didn't know what to do. "They already knew that most of us are demigods and that we all are dead. It's like adding two and two. They would figure out that more of us lived while they were alive."

"She's right you know." Joined her Isabelle. "He even covered for Fred."

"Och you know them. They gonna dig deeper!"

"What the Chaos?!" Cosmo walked out of his tent. "Shut up!"

He glared at everyone present.

"Whole camp already heard you! Are you serious with that?" He walked to the fire. "What the hell happened? I left you for five minutes alone and you are jumping to each other throats!"

Almost everyone was looking at their feets. No one dare to speak. Fred would try but this whole thing was because of him so he didn't.

"We are sorry commander. We vitnessed unpleasant situation at the camp fire." When Firefly started talking Fred sat on one it The chairs trying to act natural. "Hunter reacted and admitted that he was with them at camp. That's what caused our disagreement with Charlie."

Cosmo nodded and turned to these two. Charlie was standing with his arms crossed while Hunter remained sitting. He looked like he don't care at all about this.

"What did you told them?" He asked.

"That I knew Percy while I was still alive." He answered.

Fred felt everyone's look at him, but he just was avoiding them by staring at Cosmo's backs. It was easier.

"Charlie got mad because he thought I burned us." Hunter was looking right into Cosmo eyes. "But I kept it cool. Even asked if he is still alive. They think that they only know you and me. But they did not know who I am."

"It's not gonna stay that way. You chosen name that almost screams I am son of Apollo. And I know only two of them that died not a long time ago. Micheal and you. And Wow, one of us is called Micheal and we already said that we are mostly from Earth. So then they will think Charlie. Yes we got someone with that name. And then we are all burned."

Hunter stood up but Cosmo pushed him down.

"What is it, Charlie?"

Cosmo expresion changed. He wasn't mad at them for making a mess. Now he was worried.

"Nothing, commander."

"Don't commander me right now. I am asking as a friend, because I see something is going on." Cosmo put his hand on his shoulder. "And as you said you want mission to be safe so we need to know what's going on with our comrade. But most important what's going on with our friend."

Charlie sighed.

"This mission is hard. For some more than other." Fred instinctaly looked at Eclipse and their eyes met. "Because I left in peace and they won't call my dead body names. But if they found out that after my death I was living happily somewhere else and never came back to visit them..."
