(Y/N)'s POV
Will and I led the Apollo cabin to the dining pavilion since we were the head counselors. When we entered I saw our new activities director, Tantalus sitting at the head table with Mr.D.

The other cabins came, I looked up and saw Percy with Tyson. Once the campers saw Tyson they started whispering/staring.

"Who invited that?" Shawn, one of my half siblings, asked.

I saw Percy glared at Shawn.

"Well if it isn't Peter Johnson." Mr.D said as he sipped his Diet Coke.

"It's Percy Jackson...sir." Percy said.

"Whatever."

Mr.D looked at Tantalus.

"This is the one. Poseidon's kid."

Tantalus looked at Percy.

"Ah yes the little troublemaker."

I was confused at what he was talking about until Mr.D snapped his fingers and a newpaper popped out of nowhere. It was kinda hard for me to read because of my dyslexia but I think it said: 'Thirteen-Year-Old Lunatic Torches Gymnasium'.

"But know this Jackson if you create any trouble there will be severe punishment."

Tantalus said as he tried to drink his coke but failed because of his curse.

"But now to more important things," Mr.D says as he looked at Tyson, "Like where to put the beast."

Campers started whispering but then gasped. My eyes widened. Above Tyson's head was a glowing green trident-the same symbol that appeared above Percy when Poseidon claimed him as his son. Silence filled the air until Tantalus started laughing.

"Well I think we now know where to put the beast. By the gods, I can see the family resemblance!"

Everyone laughed except for me, Will, Annabeth, and a few other of Percy's friends. Percy looked so mad I thought he was going to attack Tantalus. Tyson didn't notice that everyone was laughing at him since he was too busy trying to swat away the glowing trident that was fading away.

I looked at Percy, who was looking at me. I gave him a small smile. At least he wasn't going to be alone anymore. He has a half brother now...A monster for a half brother.

Percy's POV
The next few days were torture. Tyson moved into the Poseidon cabin. He kept giggling saying, "Percy is my brother?".

I tried explaining it to him but it was no use. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed-no ashamed. And the comments from the other campers weren't really helping the situation.

Right now I was with (Y/N), practicing our sword fighting while Tyson was with Beckendorf from the Hephaestus cabin. We were worried sick for the camp but we didn't know know what to do about it.

After sword fighting, we went to archery class. (Y/N) is awesome in that class since she is a daughter of Apollo. She's like my personal tutor for archery since I suck at it. After archery class, we went to the climbing wall(idk😅). I scaled the wall in full lava-and-earthquake mode. Once I was on the top, I expertly jumped off.

(Y/N) punched me in the shoulder .

"Percy you have to stop being so reckless."

"No promises."

She playfully rolled her eyes and started to climb the wall. I watched as she climbed to the top of the wall. I thought she was just going to climb down but she also jumped down just like I did. But right before she landed I caught her, bridal style. Our faces were inches apart.

"Gods you scared me. Don't do that again." I whispered as I looked at her (E/C) eyes.

"No promises." (Y/N) said using my own words against me

We sat down when some campers from the Aphrodite's cabin walked towards us and asked me if I needed to borrow some eyeliner for my eye...

"Oh sorry, eyes." They walked away laughing.

"Just ignore them Percy."

"I tried to (Y/N). But I can't help it. I used to be the cool guy that retrieved Zeus's lightning bolt last summer but now I'm just Percy Jackson, the poor schmuck with the ugly monster for a brother." I said as I looked away from her.

I felt her hand on my face, making me look at her (E/C) eyes

"Well to me you're Percy Jackson, my awesome boyfriend." (Y/N) said.

I smiled at her and leaned in to give her a small kiss.

"By the way, what's yours and Annabeth's problem with Tyson?"

(Y/N)'s face paled a little.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. You two act differently around him. Is it because he's a Cyclops?"

(Y/N) sighed. Her eyes were full of sorrow. She looked at Thalia's poisoned tree.

"You just don't understand Percy."

I decided to change the subject.

"Soo did you find a cure yet?"

She shook her head and ran her fingers through her soft (H/C) hair.

"No but I know there's a cure. There has to be a cure."

I smiled at her determination. That's another thing I like about (Y/N). She's so determined not to mention beautiful, caring, selfless, and really smart too. Probably smarter than Annabeth.

"Percy?"

"Yeah?"

"Have you been having dreams about...Grover?"

"Yes. How did you know?"

"Because I've been having this strange feeling. I feel like he's in trouble. I asked my dad but he didn't answer...as usual. So can you tell me what happened in your dream?"

I nodded and told her my dream just how I told Annabeth. After I finished telling her my dream, she looked so deep in thought.

"I think this thing took him to its lair and Grover is trying to contact you for help. After all he is your protector. You two share an empathy link. Did he tell you anything else?"

"I think he said something about the Sea of Monsters. And...the Golden Fleece."

(Y/N) quickly got up.

"Percy that's it! The Golden Fleece can help Thalia's tree!"

She then ran towards her cabin. I followed close behind her. When I got to the Apollo cabin (Y/N) already entered. I saw Annabeth there at the entrance of the cabin. She had a stack of books beside her. I sat down next to her just as (Y/N) came out with a book in her hands.

(Y/N)'s POV
"Annabeth we found something that can help Thalia's tree." I said as I sat down.

"Well what is it?"

I opened the book and flipped through some pages until I stopped at one. I showed Annabeth the book.

"The Golden Fleece. It can cure Thalia's tree." I said as she read the book.

Annabeth nodded.

"And it would strengthen the borders of Camp Half-Blood...but the Fleece has been missing for centuries. Tons of heroes have searched for it with no luck." Annabeth said.

"But Grover found it," Percy said. "He went looking for Pan and he found the Fleece instead because they both radiate nature magic. We can rescue him and save the camp at the same time. It's perfect!"

Annabeth thought about it.

"A little too perfect, don't y'all think? It could be a trap."

"What choice do we have?" I asked.

"But then we have to fight a Cyclops. Polyphemus, the worst of all the Cyclops. And his island is at the Sea of Monsters."

"Where's that?" Percy asked.

I mentally facepalmed while Annabeth just stared at Percy.

"It's at the Bermuda Triangle Percy." I said.

"Ok. At least we know where to look." Percy said.

"The Sea of Monsters is huge. Searching for one tiny island in monster-infested waters-"

"Hey. I'm the son of Poseidon. It's my home turf. How hard can it be?" Percy said as he cut Annabeth off.

"We'll have to talk to Tantalus, get approval for a quest but he'll say no." Annabeth said.

"Not if we tell him tonight at the bonfire in front of everyone. The whole camp will hear. They'll pressure him. He won't have any other choice." I said

"It might work...Ok let's do it tonight." Annabeth said, finally agreeing to our plan.
