Daughter Of Wild

Chapter 15: The End Is Near!

Ava Sanchez

After mom's big announcement, Chiron made everyone go to breakfast. As I ate mom explained how she became the co-camp director.

"Well my father was still furious with me because I came out of the blue to meet you." She started.

I nodded while crunching on my bacon. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Annabeth trying to get my attention.

"And Dionysus' curse has lifted, this a cruel way to get back at me. From now on until a century, I have to assist Chiron here throughout the summer of each year." She smile big and gave me her jazz hands.

"Well that's great mom. At least we'll get to see each other every year." I said smiling.

"I am also obligated to do all of the campers laundry." She made a sick face. "You would not believe how much those Ares kids sweat."

"That sounds gross. Oh and have you've spoken with Aunt Maria? I tried to IM her a couple of times but she doesn't respond."

For those who do not know what IM is, it is a demigod way of communicating, since using cellphones attract monsters. You have to make a rainbow with water mist and light rays and toss a dracma into it. And boom, IM.

"Yes I have. She's sorry that she's been busy but she has her hands full with her new boyfriend." She replied giggly.

Wow. Aunt Maria, a boyfriend? OK now Annabeth is really trying to get my attention. I need to find something to distract my mom for a while. Or someone.

Unfortunately Nico just had to be walking to me right now. We'll unfortunate for him. I pulled him into the seat next to me a looked at my mom.

"Hey mom did you know that Nico is my boyfriend?" He looked at me with wide eyes. I could tell how bad this was going to be. I mouthed him a quick sorry before my mom began.

"What?! Boyfriend?! First of all mister, when were you even going to tell me that you are dating my daughter?! She is way too young! I have watched you for many years and trust me I do not approve of you! And don't even get me started on your hair!"

I backed away slowly while she continued to hate on Nico. As I walked from the big house, Annabeth, Conner and Travis ran to me.

"Ava, trust me," Travis started.

"You're gonna want to see this." Conner finished.

They basically dragged me to a tree in the middle of the camp. There was campers surrounding and laughing. I pushed through and saw Simon hanging upside down. Leo and Mercedes were spinning him.

His face was turning red. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen.

"Say it!" Mercedes demanded.

"Or what?" Simon spat.

Leo lit his pointer finger aflame and scorched the tip of his hair.

"Ok ok!" He cried. Where is my camera?!

"I Simon, was purposely going to use Ava to gain popularity!" Well there's a surprise.

The words stung but I am not going to worry about that now.

"And?" Natasha came from the crowd.

"And I'm an asshole and am a disgrace to Athena!" He shouted.

"You're right about that." Annabeth said.

Everyone was laughing and the Stolls were even taking pictures.

"Please let me go before I lose consciousness!"

"Fine." Annabeth said shrugging. "Percy, Jason, will you do the honors?"

They both smiled mischievously and nodded. Leo cut the rope and Simon fell hard on his head. At this point I was literally on the ground rolling. Jason then summoned some wind and carried Simon to the lake.

"No wait! Stop this!" Simon cried. All of the campers followed Jason and watched as he hovered Simon over the middle of the lake.

"Ok Seaweed brain, you're up." Annabeth kissed her boyfriend's cheek.

Percy made a giant wave shoot up and engulf Simon. Then it dragged him into the pool. When he resurfaced he gasped and screamed in frustration.

As everyone was walking back, I walked to my friends.

"How did you guys find out Simon's true colors?" I asked.

"Well Nico told us after he kicked his ass." Natasha said.

"So then the Stolls came up with this plan for revenge." Tim added.

"To be honest, it was more Conner's idea then mine." Travis said scratching his neck.

"Well thanks guys. Group hug!" We all hugged and laughed.

"Have room for one more?"

"Nico!" I jumped on him and kissed him as he carried me.

Everyone cheered and Leo whistled.

"Took them long enough!" He commented."

I made a face at him and face ld Nico.

"Sorry I left you with my mom. How was your talk?" I asked.

"Well I think that it's pretty clear that your mom hates me. So yeah pretty good I guess."

I laughed and pecked his lips once more.

"Well I don't care if she hates you. I love you son of Death."

"And I love you, daughter of Wild."

"Hey guys let's go reenact a Percabeth!" Leo yelled out of nowhere. He looked mischievously at Natasha.

"Oh hell no Leo Valdez I swear if you pull me into-" Before she could finish her sentence he pushed her into the water!

"Leo!!" She screamed pushing her hair out of her face.

"Cannonball!" He jumped in after her.

One by one we started jumping in. Travis grabbed Katie from the Demeter cabin and started making out with her. Conner and Mercedes were standing there awkwardly. I laughed and pushed them in the water.

Mercedes gave me a "I will murder you in your sleep" look but Conner grabbed her and started kissing her. Thank the gods she kissed him back.

"Looks like it's just you and me death boy." I said. He looked nervous. I grabbed his hand and he nodded at me.

"Geronimo!"

When we resurfaced I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He pulled away and whispered into my ear.

"What about Tim?"

I looked at the cliff and saw Tim reading a book on the edge. I felt bad for him. But then someone pushed him into the water and jumped in before I could see their face.

They resurfaced and Tim was kissed by Rachel?!

"We'll keep this our little secret, okay?" She said to him.

I pulled Nico down as Percy made us an air bubble.

I don't care what Percy and Annabeth say. This was definitely the best underwater kiss in all of history.
