Chapter 16: To Camp Half Blood!

I smiled, and saw Percy and Sally.

I grabbed my trunk, and with Fred and James, we hopped off the train, and I told them, "Alright, so I'll see you on the twenty third of December?" "Right, so, me and my dad will come to Half Blood Hill." "you have permission, to enter, just say, Skylar Smith, daughter of Zeus." I smiled.

We hugged, and I rolled my trunk over to Percy and Sally.

Percy and I ran out of the wall of platform nine and three quarters, laughing.

He has grown so much!

Percy is so much taller, and kind of stronger, and his jet black hair is so much more floppies against his head. He had to flip it out of his sea green eyes to see me. His smile is still cocky and michevious.

Percy was looking at me, amazed or something.

"You've grown, Sky!" "So have you, Perce!" "no, I mean, wow, literally. If you weren't my cosin, then it'd be awkward right now.."

He blushed, and I blushed. I saw James face.

Sort of pissed, he sprinted over to me.

"hey! Sky!" "James! What's up? Miss me already?" I punched him lightly in the shoulder.

"Er... Maybe, but you also forgot this. Your, uh, charm bracelet on the seat." no, I didnt. I'm not wearing one. I don't have one.

"Oh! Thanks!" I caught his eyes, and he mouthed, "incase I forget to send for your birthday." I nodded.

He slipped it into my hands, since people were watching, and it'd be kind of embarrassing to have him put it on me.

"you must be Percy." "yea, you must be James, right?" James nodded. They shook hands. Their grips were tight against eachothers. Oh shit.

A love triangle.

"Well, see you on the twenty third, Sky." "yea, see you then, James." I blushed.

"Don't forget the entrance to the hill!" I said, as he poked me in the back. "ofcourse I wouldn't. I'm not a dope." "I know."

I gave him another hug, and he bid goodbye.

In the taxi, Sally sat up front, and my trunk in the well, trunk(ha ha ha. No pun intended!) only left room for and Percy in the back.

Once the taxi driver began to drive to the airport, which was about forty minutes away from the train station, Percy asked me, "so, was he joking?"

"about me forgetting my bracelet? Yes, actually, he mouthed that it was a early birthday present. You know, sometimes owl post gets jacked up over seas." he nodded.

"So how's school been for you?" he asked me.

"pretty good, actually. Transfiguration is my best subject, andPotions is my worst, basically because the professor, she doesn't read aloud the board and directions, and writes in really tiny tiny handwriting on the chalkboard, so, of course, my dyslexia really helps. But Dom, Fred, or James will help me, and we'd get the potion correct- but Professor Parkington hates me, and them, so even though the potion is perfect, she manages to fail our potion."

"that's not nice." "your telling me, man." I replied.

"hey, did you ever get my reply to you?" I shook my head.

"hmm.... Maybe the owls.. Got really tired. I wrote to Annabeth, and I got no reply either. I do hope everything is alright.." he nodded.

Percy managed through the plane ride. He doesn't like the air, since his dad is Poseidon. To be fair, waters not my first choice to travel on. But I'll do it if needed. I might get a bit sea sick...

Sally dropped us off, and I took my trunk.

The two of us walked into Camp, and it was nearly empty.

Connor and Travis were by the Big House, being lectured by Chiron. At least we will have to wait until Thalia gets here!

"you have to clean it too? So does Annabeth, Connor, Travis, and I." I nodded.

We went to my cabin, and I dumped my stuff by my bed, which was next to Thalias.

Percy whistled. He's never been in here, actually.

He came over, and muttered:

"Listen. I... I've been thinking about you ever since you left last summer on August first." "that's nice, and sweet! I've been thinking about you too!" I said, geniunily. "actually about you, Thalia, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson, so really, I've been kind of worried because of Kronous."

I waited a mommemt, before saying:

"But more you really. I mean, Thalia is strong, and she's turnning sixteen in a few days. So, she'll make it. But I mean, I've been pretty worried about you more. I mean, your just like, seven months older then me, and technically, we're both in the same grade, but your in eight grade because of your month. So, I mean, you'll be turnning sixteen next, so, yes I've been worried."

"I've been worried. After Annabeth told me about the monster attacks, it got worse. I mean if you died, what would I do?"

I shrugged as he came uncomfortably close to me. We were by my bed, and it felt weird. He came really close.

He slowly leant in, and kissed my lips. His eyes closed, and my eyes were closed, until I realised what the hell was happening.

I pushed him off violently.

I mean, I guess I could date him, but it's weird. And Annabeth likes him a lot. I can tell he does too. But I don't like him like that.

I like James like that, actually.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?" I screamed at him.

"why did you push me off!?" "because I don't-"

He came back and kissed me again. I growled, and again, violently pushed him off me. He landed on the floor, and he came close to me again, and...

He fucking kissed me.

I pushed him off again, but not violently. He was infront of me. He wasn't looking, and when he was leaning in again, I touched my rubber 'LOL' bracelet in the middle ifthe last 'L'.

He felt another presence.

My sword was out. It was by his neck. He jumped back.

"don't you dare kiss me again, Perceus Jackson." I growled.

He took out riptide, and we began to battle in my cabin.

After a long, long, long time of a dirty battle, Thalia and Annabeth came in looking for us.

We weren't wounded badly. Just a few slashes here and there.

"SKY! PERCY! What are you doing!?" screamed Annabeth. She screamed it so that no one outside the cabin could hear it.

Percy looked at Annabeth and Thalia, surprised they were in here, and while was doing so, I grabbed his sword, and put his to the back of his head, and mine to the front of his head, right infront of his neck.

"Dont you dare do that again. You did that like three times." "it was two times." "not in my world." I growled.

"You kissed me after I pushed you off three times. And three times. And I don't like you like that. You kept leaning in after I almost gave you a concussion, like three times."

Annabeth face palmed.

"Please. You like Annabeth. Annabeth likes you. If you were the last man on Earth? It'd still be a no. Try to do anything lovey-dovey with me again, I'll make sure that that small brain of yours will receive a concussion."

I took a deep breath.

"Now. Once you apologise, I will speak to you. Meanwhile, Jackson, get out of my cabin." I growled.

He didnt hesitate.

Annabeth came and sat next to me.

"What happened?" Thalia wondered as she sat on her bed.

I sighed, and told them.

"well, Percy and Sally were coming to pick me up from Kings Cross in London. We flew here. And my friend, James, he saw Percy and I talking. And when Percy hugged me, since he missed me since you told him about the attacks, James sprinted over, jealousy in his eyes. S, James gave me this charm bracelet. He said I forgot it, but he mouthed it was an early birthday present. The two boys shook hands, fiercely, as if Percy was trying to protect me. In the taxi, Sally up front, us two in the back, he asked if I really forgot it. I told him that I didn't, and it was an early birthday present. And then he came with me to drop off my trunk in here, and we were talking, and he kissed me, like three times."

Annabeth's face fell, and she looked down at her feet.

"And-" I continued, figuring something out. I suddenly gasped.

"What?" Thalia asked me, concerned.

"Percy kissed me because he knows I like James, and that James likes me. He doesn't know about the select times we've kissed, and James and I don't discuss those kisses- were not even a couple!"

Annabeth and Thalia looked at me. Annabeth was catching on. I continued.

"He kissed me because he thought that if he kissed me, I'd realise that James wasn't even a good guy! He'd want me to realise that if he kissed me, and I pushed him off....I'd forget about James, and boys in general! He's my god brother.... Oh... I have to apologise! He's only being protective! I mean, he and Sally are my family, since my mom died, and even before that. He's like my brother."

Annabeth smiled, and Percy came in.

"Your right. I'm sorry. It's just... I'm like your cosin, god brother, and like, your brother through cosin-hood and godparents-hood. And I'm just trying to protect you." "well next time, don't do that." I smirked.

Annabeth and Thalia smiled.

------------------------------

Honestly, cleaning the attic was easy. Basically because a bunch of stuff said:

'DON'T TOUCH'.

One thing caught my eye. The head.

It was still wrapped up, and I called Annabeth and Percy over. "Remember this?" they laughed. They remembered.

Connor and Travis found some of their prank stuff that were token away. Thalia found her old ancient myth book that Annabeth brought when she was a tree. I looked around. I didn't see anything if mine.

Even Lukes curse journal, Silenas cursed necklace, Beckandorffs old cursed hammer, Tysons old cursed knife, the sneakers Luke gave Percy, Grovers cursed reed pipes... Clarisses old electric speer tip that has a very ancient ring in it that is cursed...

And everybody had something.

Annabeth even had some old book about cursed architecture, that when you touched it, it bit you.

"Hmm... I can't find anything that's mine.." I mummbled.

Thalia called me over to a old cabinet that we hadn't searched yet.

"Sky.... This is... Your stuff.." "what?" I asked her, confused. "look... It's.. Is that your moms will?" I nodded. "I guess..." Connor got Chiron.

"Chiron, what's my moms will and her stuff doing in this cabinet?" he sighed.

"her will... And that's all the stuff that's rightfully yours." "What!? And it's been up here for like, a year and a half almost!?" he nodded.

"you can take it out, and look at it, you know." I nodded.

I went to my cabin that afternoon, at three thirty, and I was alone.

The first thing I pulled out, was a silver key.

"Dear Skylar,

This key is to the Wizarding World house of Smith. The Smith Mannor is located in Godrics Hallow. It's adress is:

'123 Salazar Lane'

The key will automaticly work on the Christmas Eve of your thirteenth birthday. You will be able to live in it officially when your eighteen.

Love,

Mom"

Oh shit... My own house! Awesome!

The next thing was a huge photo album of me and her, and her and dad, and my grandparents.

Then, there was part of a mirror. A note was right next to it.

I tore open the envelope, and read the note.

"My dearest Skylar,

This mirror is one of two. The other one is with me. I've be burried with it. When you look, my face- my healthy, sober, smiling face that I had when I first looked at you when I had you.

When you want to see me, look.

Love,

Mom."

That was the last thing in the box.

I set the stuff back in the box, and carefully wrapped it in the cloth. I carefully set it in my trunk.

I smiled.

---------------------------

Well, Grover had us come to the school where he had got two demi-gods. Powerful ones, at that.

Some evil thing was there, along with Artemis and her hunters.

Annabeth and I jumped on top if the big, evil dude, that was trying to kill us, and he jumped off the cliff.

He growled to the two of us:

"my master is Atlas. And you two will be filling in for him."
