The Blood of the Sea

Welcome to Camp Half-Blood

Percy's POV

"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood!" I practically screamed.

I rushed towards Thea and scooped her up into a big hug. She stiffened and I was afraid it was too soon but I felt her arms wrap around me and I heard her whisper.

"Thank you."

I didn't even try to fight my smile.

"So." I heard someone say

Thea and I both Scrambled away from each other. I completely forgot that my friends, and Clarisse, had been in the room this whole time. And by the face that Thea was making, I could tell she forgot too.

I took a wild guess and assumed Chiron was the one that had spoken up. He had his hands clasped together in that teacher way and his facial expression clearly read 'thank the gods'.

"Now that that is settled, why don't you clean up and we will arrange a tour for you. Aquarius-"

"Thea." Thea and I said at the same time. Chiron smiled.

"Thea," Chiron corrected himself, "there is a bathroom with a shower just down the hall to the right. You can clean up there."

"Wait, why do I need to-" Thea started, but then she looked down and realized that she was covered in oil and ash. "Ha! Right I look like I just broke into a house via chimney. I will a- do that whole cleaning up thing now."

Thea smiled awkwardly and headed towards the door with Mogwai following. She turned and took the fist sized bag off of the wolf's neck.

"оставайся здесь. Все будет хорошо."(Stay here. I'll be fine) she said, scratching his head.

Thea looked up at me and I gave her a reassuring nod and she responded with a small smile before leaving to clean up.

"Okay, next on the agenda." Chiron said after a minute of silence. "Who is going to show Aqu-Thea around."

"I'm going to." I said like it was the most obvious thing in the world, mostly because I thought it was.

"No Percy, I actually need to have a word with you."

"About what?"

Chiron gave me a look that told me not to ask questions which I returned with a small glare, but can you blame me? I want to get to know my sister and the last thing I want is for her to bond with someone else before she bonds with me. Ya know?

So I didn't feel the least bit bad for glaring at Chiron for getting in the way of brother sister bonding time.

Chiron gave me an apologetic look but his eyes clearly showed that I didn't have a choice.

"Fine." I grumbled, sending one more glare at Chiron before looking at my friends, "Then who is going to show her around?"

Everyone avoided my eyes suddenly finding interest with their shoes or the snacks on the table, except Annabeth, she looked me dead in the eyes and shook her head.

"Not happening, I don't trust her."

"Come on Wise girl, she's my sister. Can you at least try to get along with her."

My girlfriend raised an eyebrow at me.

"First of all, you making your baby seal face doesn't change my opinion, Seaweed Brain."

I didn't even know I was making a face but I might as well try to. Nothing is worse than your girlfriend and your sister being enemies. And Annabeth would make a bad enemy.
