Phoenix

It was a dark starry midnight in Camp Half Blood.

After last night fiasco at The Dinner Celebration, me and my friends ate our meals and we called it a night.

I was able to spend the night in the Hades Cabin with Ally. Alone. Since Nico was spending the night Apollo Cabin, and Henry in the Zeus Cabin with Z.

I enjoyed myself in the Hades Cabin since me and Ally had a special "moment." with ourselves, I should have been asleep but here I was sitting on the edge of the coffin shaped bed dressed in a whitetank top with black shorts as I took in a sigh.

I couldn't sleep for some weird reason, usually I fall asleep on impact, but tonight I couldn't.

I groaned, which is when my lovely girlfriend sat up in the bed under the red silk cover, her auburn hair was flowing down her black nightgown {which she looked hot in} as she noticed me on edge of the bed.

"Hey, you ok ?" she asked me which is when I put my hair behind my ear and said "Yeah, don't worry, I'm fine... just go back to sleep."

Alex sighed and said "Phi, you're not ok." as I sighed and said "I am. I'm fine."

Alex rose up from the bed as she massaged my shoulder as she kissed my neck and said "I have a better idea. Why don't you tell me what's bothering you because you're clearly in pain."

I sighed as I said "You really do know me well."

Alex smiled as she said "I'm your girlfriend, of course I do." as I smiled as she smiled back as she sat down next to me and asked "Why are upset ?"

"I don't know, just thinking about life..my mom who's never going to come back, she left me behind without teaching my...how to live really. And I just think about what would she think of me if she found out-"

"You like both genders ?"

"Yeah, it's scary." as she reached for my hand and said "Phoenix, I know that you're amazing and that even if you're mom gone you shouldn't live your life in darkness. You have the others. You have camp... You have me."

I grinned as I said "Will you promise me something ?"

"Sure ?"

"Can you always hold my hand when I get scared."

"I'll always hold your hand Phi, were in this together."

"And I will love you, and I will love you until the day I die, and if it's possibly another life after that, I'll love you then."

I smiled, as I grabbed Alex and sat her on my lap as I kissed her as she kissed me back as she ran her hand through my hair as she pushed me on the bed and kissed my neck while making her way down as I smiled...

Priscilla

My eyes greeted the morning sun as I rubbed my eyes and sighed.

After last night, Reed apologized to me and I did the same to him, and then we went to the Poseidon Cabin, since Percy was spending the night with Annabeth.

I should have also been happy today...because it was my seventeen birthday.

I was finally seventeenth years old and no longer sixteen, I'd also had the feelings that the others were going to plan a party for me, I didn't know just a gut feeling.

I smiled as I turned around seeing the empty spot where Reed should have been.

That caused me to frown, because I knew that just seeing his cute sleepy face would bring me so munch joy and I really wanted to get my birthday day started with seeing his face.

But he wasn't there, he must have left to go do some work in the infirmary, I rose up in my blue undergarments as I'd noticed a paper note on my drawer.

I glanced at it seeing it said "From Your Sunshine ♡" as I smiled and open the note and began to read it.

To my lovely Little Mermaid, I'm sorry I had to leave so early and you didn't get to start your birthday with seeing my handsome face but Apollo Kid Duties count and I had to work in the infirmary...But other than that...HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! Your official seventeen and may I saw our relationship has yes been through munch but let me tell you this as you blow out the candles on your cake, I want you to remember that there's a flame which will never go out...the one burning in my heart for you, I love you and I'll see you as soon as I get off... From Reed, P.S. Look at your vanity I picked out a birthday outfit I think will looked beautiful on you ツ

I smiled bright as I put the note down as I glanced over to my vanity mirror as I caught my breath as I put my hand over my mouth.

I saw a golden sparkly dress with a dark blue coat with a dark blue heart necklace and dark blue flats as I smiled as I walked over towards it as I grinned and said "My boyfriend."

I put the dress on as I did my makeup as I curled my hair {which was back to it's jet black} as I put my trident bracelet on and I checked myself out in the mirror as I did poses and blew a kiss at myself.

Yeah, I'm a model on the inside and I'd always know it. What people don't know about me was I used to be on the cheerleader team and I was also on the dance team, I'd loved dancing it was really apart of me.

I then grabbed my phone as I put my earrings in as I said to myself "Your seventeen Priscilla, this is your day and nobody going to ruin it."

I smiled bright as I grabbed my purse and made my way outside my cabin as I noticed the campers turned to me in a crowd and smiled as there were different replies from them.

"Happy Birthday Priscilla !"

"Happy B-day !"

"Your the best Happy Birthday !"

I smiled at all of them and said "Thank you guys ! Thank you so munch !"

That's when Ivy came up to me and said "Happy Seventeen birthday Priscilla !" as she held up a blue flower crown as I said

"Thank you Ivy," as I smiled as she smiled back as I bowed as she put the crown on top of my head as we both playful curtsy at one another.

"Well see you at the party Priscilla !" The Hermes Cabin told me as I smiled at them as they waved goodbye and went to there cabin

"Hey, you should be headed to The Big House shouldn't you ?" Ivy told me as I rose a brow and said

"The Big House ? But I don't think we have any meetings today."

"You don't, but don't you see the blue roses leading to The Big House ?" as I glanced down at the blue roses petals scattered around leading to the Big House.

"Blue Roses, Aw Reed knows there my favorite." as Ivy said "You should be on your way, I'll see you later tonight."

"Bye Ivy." I told her as she waved goodbye and walked towards the strawberry field.

I smiled as I made my way up The Big House as I chuckled to myself and said "Let's see what these guys are planning."

I opened the door to the Big House as I noticed it was pitch black as I began to wander around and called out there names.

"Zoe ?"

"Henry ?"

"Alex ?"

"Phi ? Is anybody here ?"

I chuckled as I said "Come on guys, I know you there. Don't play hide and seek with me."

I walked through the room as I scrapped my hand against the wall and switched the lights on.

The room lit up as all the campers jumped up shouting "Surprise !" as I looked up startled as I realized what was going on even if part of me was expected it.

I screamed but not with fright but because of the scene in front of me, somehow I manged to pull on a awkward smile, although I was still surprised.

Everybody else would have been cheering with enticement and marched up cheerfully but I just stood there, my feet plastered to the floor, my mind concentrating on only one thing Gods.

I couldn't believe my friends had thrown me a surprise party and that everybody was here. All of camp was here. All the cabins. The Ares Cabin, The Athena Cabin, The Apollo Cabin, everybody here to celebrate my birthday with me.

The crowd in front of me waited. I couldn't speak I was tongue tied.

"Shouldn't she be surprised ?" an Aphrodite girl whispered to a person in the crowd.

I couldn't do anything but stare at into the crowd seeing all of there faces waiting for me to react

Tears came down my face as I grinned and said "You guys are the freaking best."

The crowd smiled at me as my friends came up towards me.

"Happy Birthday P !" Phoenix shouted as the others smiled at me.

All my friend were dressing very fancy for me, and I'd accept the honor.

Phoenix hair was put into a messy bun as she was wearing a short plaid dress with fire earrings and brown combat boots.

Alex was wearing a black dress with gold heels as her hair was like Phoenix was put into messy bun as she was wearing a leather jacket over neath.

Henry was wearing a black and gray plaid shirt with ripped black jeans pants as his hair was being covered with black beanie as he smirked at me.

Spencer who was surprisingly wearing a simple purple dress with white heels as her hair was put into a ponytail as it was curled, though she seemed uncomfortable in the dress.

Reed wearing a yellow shirt with gray pants as he wore  brown country boots as he gave me his princely smile.

Then there was the seven along with Lou Ellen, Austin, Kayla, Lily, and Sam wearing there fancy clothes as well as giving there smiles

"Guys !" I said as they smiled as Percy said "Do you like the surprise party ?"

"Like it, I love it !" as they smiled as Henry said "We know you would, we've been planning the whole thing for weeks now."

"Yeah, we decided we dress fancy for the surprise party and for the ball tonight." Lou Ellen said as I smiled and then realized what she said "Ball ?"

"Yeah, were having a ball later tonight, you said you wanted your birthday to be like a fairy tale." Leo said as I smiled and said

"You're amazing friends." as I gave them a big group hug as they smiled as Alex said "We know."as we separated as Reed said "We hope you like it."

I smiled as I hugged him and kissed his lips and said "I love it !" as Percy said "I think your going to like this even more."

I raised my brow at them as they smiled which is when I heard a angel voice say "You really think I would miss my love bug's seventeen birthday ?"

I turned around only to see my mother standing there holding blue birthday presents with a white bows on it as she was wearing a white leather jacket with denim pants with white heels as she had a blue shirt underneath.

I couldn't speak, I was amazed really. My mother came all the way to be at my party, unannounced really and there was only one person, I'd let call me Love Bug and that was her.

"Mommy !" I cried as I rushed to her hug as she put the present down and hugged me as well as I cried into her chest.

"Oh Priscilla, my little love bug, who'd know you still be a big mama's girl." I sniffled as I said "I'll always be a mamma's girl."

I separated myself from her as I wiped my eyes and asked "Mom ? why did you come ?"

"Priscilla, I would never miss your birthday especially you're seventeen one," as I smiled and turned to the others and said

"Guys, how did come up with all of this ?"

"Well, we didn't come up with all of this" Reed said as I rose a brow as Spencer added "With every plan there a leader behind it,"

My brow lowered as a smile grew on my face as I chuckled and said "Thank you Thunder Head." as I turned with a smile only to see Zoe with her mother right next to her.

Zoe was smiling at me as she was wearing a short gray dress with gold sparkles and gray lighting bolt earrings and golden saddles as her hair was put into pigtails

Then there was her mom April, who was wearing a flower printed dress with brown heels as her hair was down with a braid in it as she smiled at me.

"Your welcome Priscilla. Happy Birthday Kelpface." as I smiled at her as I embraced her with a tight hug.

"You did not have to do all this ?" I said to her as she grinned and said "Of course I did, your the most amazing thing that ever happen to me, you deserve it."

"I know nobody could ever get Spencer to wear a dress but you," as Spencer narrowed her eyes and pulled her dress down as we turned to her as she said "Yeah, apprentice it, because I'm never doing this again."

"What about the ball later tonight ?" Will asked her as she turned to him and said "I'll wear jeans."

I chuckled at her as I turned to Zoe's mom and said "Thank you for coming Mrs. Grace."

"Oh Priscilla, you're my daughter's best friend and you're apart of the Grace family."

I smiled at her as I gave a playful laugh and said "Thank you Mrs. Grace."

"Your welcome Priscilla, Happy Birthday."

"Thank you," as I turned to everyone else and said "Thank you guys as well."

That's when Chiron came forward through the crowd and said "You deserve all of this Priscilla, you've been a honorary hero to Camp Half-Blood." 

Priscilla smiled at him and said "Thank you Chiron, you're the best."

"It's a honor that your my mentor."

Chiron smiled at her and nodded as I turned back towards my friends and said "This is a party ins't it. Let's party !" as we all smiled and cheered as we all got ready to party...

~~~

Phoenix

After Priscilla's party, me and the others decided to hang out in The Hephaestus Cabin.

The Hephaestus Cabin was my home and the house for Hephaestus's kids like me. It was like the home I'd always wanted. Of course the foster home was alright, If you remember I grew up in Mrs. Wilson Foster Homes for Girls. I'd been there since age six all the way to fourteen, of course I'm fifteen now. It was like any other old foster home. Crowded, kids of all ages and no a lot of food. It was also the place I'd call home for fourteen years.

The Hephaestus Cabin wasn't like that though. It was were I could let my inner inverter shine. The Cabin still looked the same as always, same smokestack sticking out of it mimicking a tiny factory and same kids running around being busy.

Of course me being the co-counselor I had to make sure everybody was doing there jobs and all, and of course I could be a chill counselor, heck I'd like being fun.

I open a drink of my glass Coca cola bottle as I took a sip from it and turned to the rest of my friends who were enjoy it with me.

"Cheer's to Priscilla. For turning seventeen."as we all cheered and clank our drinks together and  took sips.

I loved my friends, I'd learned to be more open with them about my problems and they were of course always ready to drop all I needed to help me out.

Alex was sitting on my lap drinking her soda with me, she looked amazing in her black dress and I would do the nice girlfriend thing and rubbed her thighs, man I'm the best.

"I'm so luck to have you all as my friends," as we smiled at Priscilla as Henry said "It's no biggie, decides were all like family." who was sitting down as Zoe leaned her head on his shoulder as she said

"Decides, the fun really starts when the ball does,"

"Yes, it's going to be so munch fun." Lou Ellen said as she bounced on her toes.

"I can't wait, your going to be in a amazing carriage." Reed told Priscilla as she kissed him and said "I bet it will, will you will be waiting for me Prince Charming ?" as Reed smiled and kissed the top of her head and wrapped his arms around her waist and said "Anything for my Princess."

Priscilla smiled and giggled and rested her head on his shoulder.

The rest of us chuckled at the two, that's when one of the Aphrodite girls walked in.

Her name was Rowan and she was a fellow Aphrodite cabin member, she was around the same age as Priscilla {which would be now seventeen} from what I'd heard from camp she was also apart of Aubrey's stupid click, she was her right hand girl when it came to bully and torment. I hate bullies, they just think it's fun to hurt people ? Do they not know what that makes others do ? How far bully can lead ? Do they think it's a freaking joke ? Of course, I know since my girlfriend is the queen of self harm and suicide. Ugh ! Anyway she was walking around dress in in a special white Camp Half-Blood shirt with special pink shorts and pink converse and a pink designer bag as she had light shades of pink makeup on. From what I saw, I thought she was worse than Aubrey.

"Oh her comes the devil." Sam joked drinking her cola as Spencer chuckled and sip her's to.

Rowan overheard her, as she rolled her eyes and said "I heard that Aelius, and thank you for complementing me it was so nice of you Sam and I like being called the devil, it means I'm hot just like him." as she smiled which caused all of us to roll our eyes.

"Anyway, I'm here to pick up Aubrey's dagger that she asked you to fix, you said it would be done by today, so hurry up so I can get out of this hot garbage bin."

I growled as I cleared my throat and still gave a shinning smile and said "I'll go get it, don't worry I'll be sure to hurry." as Alex rose from my lap as I walked to the other room to go get Aubrey's dagger as Alex sat down on a barrel next to Percy.

I walked up to Rowan as I held up the pink dagger with the golden hilt and engraved heart symbol on it as I said "Here, Aubrey's dagger, it's all fixed and ready." as she gave me a slit grin then rolled her eyes and took out a cloth and began to clean the dagger which made me and the others raise our brows.

"Why are you cleaning the dagger, it's not even dirty ?" Henry asked her as Rowan chuckled and said "It is dirty, since it was touch by a dirty Hephaestus Kid."

"Dirty ?" I asked her as I folded my arms as she said "Of course, I didn't stutter did I. All you Hephaestus Kids do is work and work, you sweat and you basically live and work in your own filth."

I narrowed my eyes at her as I chuckled and said "So I'm just a filthy Hephaestus Kid who basically does nothing but invent all day ?"

"Don't forgot rather ugly if I do say," as I growled as Percy said "Rowan that wasn't necessary."

I chuckled at him and said "Oh it's fine Percy, decides Aphrodite girls are nothing more than huge wannabe Taylor Swift and fake fashionista who do nothing but run their traps and spill over the lately gossip. So I would rather be a dirty Hephaestus Kid than a royal drama queen   any day."

Rowan rolled her eyes and said "You Hephaestus Kid so's sensitive."

"You Aphrodite kids so dramatic."

I should add the fact of what I was wearing that day, I dressing rather country due to my rather Texas loving style. I was was wearing a gray t-shirt that read "Kickin It Country." with faded bell bottom jeans with a special belt on and sliver hoops and country boots.

"Rowan, just go we are trying to have a good time and we would love to have that not be ruined." as I walked away from her.

Rowan rolled her eyes, but she wasn't finished with me yet, her eyes went to a hot pink as her pupils went to those of hearts as they faded as she said "You're bi aren't you ?"

"What ?" I said turning back to her as she grinned and sat "You're bi right, as in bisexuality as in you like females and male."

"I'm pretty sure that's what bi mean." Zoe joked quietly as Priscilla nudged her.

"Yeah why ?" I asked as Will asked "There's nothing wrong with it so what's the problem ?"

"Oh nothing Solace, I just see that you Phoenix are dating Little Miss Self Harm."

All our eyes wide as Rowan grinned and said "Oh you didn't know, everybody knows about it sweetie, that you like to cut your wrist and watching the blood fall down."

Alex eyes then dropped as Rowan added "It's pretty ironic to see how munch of a broken you are."

I then turned to her as I clenched my fist and said "What the heck did you just say to my girlfriend ?!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want me to include yourself Phi, you're kinda screwed up to just like your freak of a girlfriend." as tears shined in Alex's eyes.

"Ok, I think it's time you leave Rowan." Annabeth assured as the others nodded as Zoe added "Nobody talks about our friends like that, and stays so go."

"You heard her, go." Spencer told her rising from her seat as Rowan rolled her eyes about to leave before she said "Not to mention, all the crap in your life Al, you good for nothing mom, your awful abuses, and-"

"Out !" Leo told her as she rolled her eyes and mutter "b." to herself which is when I stopped her and said

"Can I ask you a question ? Do you think suicide is cowardly. I'll tell you what's cowardly. Hurting someone so munch that they want to end their lives." 

"What ? Scared that your girlfriend might cut her wrist again or hang herself just because she can't handle some hurtful words."

"Leave." Priscilla told her as Piper added "Your going to be in so munch trouble Rowan."

"See if I care McLean." she said as she leaned on a wall.

Which is when I walked up to her as I got face to face with her and said "You know I would be careful for the words you say because what you said would have giving you a good {she says a word} whooping in Texas."

"And are you going to do that Phi, you're not even intimidating." as I chuckled and said "I'm not intimidating. You think just because I'm a Hephaestus Kid and not a angry Ares Kid, I don't scare you."

"Not that munch," as she dropped her handbag to the ground and tied her hair into a ponytail.

I was pretty sure she was asking for a fight, and I don't mind fighting of course, especially when you mess with my friends or girlfriend, I will kill you.

"Believe me sweetie, I'm munch more dangerous than you think,"

I then grinned and said "Nice lipstick, matching with your skin tone," as she tried to left up her fist to punch me but I pinned her to the wall as I had a serious look in my eyes.

The others eyes went wide at me just due to the fact they never seen me act so serious before, of course since I act so jokey all the time, they never seen me so mad or angry before, but I do have a temper that will blow up if you talk bad about the people I love.

"Now I know you would like to throw a punch at me but looks like to me you can't because you're arms are pined and let's get this straight, I'm strong hun, and after all the things you told me I'm not letting you go."

"All I care about is what going to happen when you let go. I wonder how that story going to end ?" as she struggled from my tight grip.

"Oh, I know how it's going to end for sure. You think you're so big and bad just because you wear expensive clothes and you wear the brand new  Barbie makeup but really you're nothing more than a worthless seventeen year old girl, who picked the wrong day to get on my bad side."

"So, what's going to happen is, You're going to be the one on the ground covered in blood and bruises while I'm going to be scar less walking away."

"Ohhh." Spencer shuddered as Lou Ellen nudged her as she cleared her throat and keep watching.

"Now, also let's get this straight," as I tightened my grip on her wrists  "And this is you're warning. I'm usual the kind one of my group. I don't get angry. And I love helping others. But don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I'm kind to everyone, but cross me and weak is not the word you want to use to describe me."

"Also, don't look, don't breathe, don't even think about talking or hurting  my friends and for the love of god and on your life," as I got close to her as my eyes lit with fire as I hissed "Don't you ever talk about mess girlfriend ever again, or I will drag you to Hades's Lair by your hair myself and watch you burn in hell flames as you beg for mercy."

The others were speechless along with Rowan as I whispered to her and said "You probably want to keep your reputation as the Queen B of camp, and I'd like to keep mine," as I backed away and let go of her wrist {which had turn a bright red because of my tight grip}

"Now walk away," I demanded her as I went back to my cheerful side as I said "Bye Hun." as Rowan rolled her eyes and grabbed her purse along with the dagger and stormed away not without saying "Watch your back Carson."

"Oh hun, I really think you should be watching yours." as she rolled her eyes and made her way towards Cabin 10.

I groaned and rolled my eyes and turned back to the others as they were speechless until Spencer said "I've been wanting for that side of you for months now," as I sighed and said "You'll have to want longer Spence, because that side is not coming out for a little while."

"Aw." Spencer pouted as I could feel blood running down my palm seeing bloody marks on them due to the fact that I punctured them with my long sharp nails.

I sighed as I fixed my earring and turned to see Alex with a teary face.

"Hey, you ok ?" I asked her as I walked up to her as she sniffled and said "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." as she brushed off the fact that sparkles teardrops were coming down her face.

"Your not ok ?" I assured her as I wiped her tears away.

"I'm fine Phi, I've dealt with bullies before."

"But still Al, I don't want you to act like your not ok, please tell me if you're not."

She nodded slightly as she wiped her tear away as Zoe said "Don't worry about her Al."

"Yeah, she's just jealous." Jason said as I added "Yeah, decides, there are going to be no tears at Priscilla's ball."

Alex gave a slit smile at me.

"You are so kind to me," she told me as I smiled and said "You need kindness in your life all the time."

She then smiled at me cheerfully as she rolled her eyes and said "I don't even know what I'm going to do about tonight, everybody going to be looking at me."

"Don't even worry about tonight." Piper assured her as Spencer said "Yeah, just act like there not even there, like I always do."

"We know you do Spence." Leo joked as we all laughed.

"And decides I'm going to need you tonight, your soul, your smile, your body."

"Aw, that's nice Phi, and why do you need me for tonight ?"

"For the after party of course, our after party." as I kissed her neck as she chuckled and said "Phoenix stop it." as I smirked and said "You're amazing."

"And decides, I'm going to need you a lot tonight, body mostly." as I rubbed her thigh as she smiled and gave me a kiss and said "I love you Phi." as I smiled and hugged her and said "I love you to Al... Always."

Zoe

After hanging out in The Hephaestus Cabin and going rock climbing with Priscilla and Alex, I was inside the Zeus Cabin lying on my bed with Henry right next to me, as I was lying on his chest as he was stroking my hair.

I could have stayed there forever, Just lying on Henry chest, my boyfriend who'd I loved with all my heart.

I snuggled up close to his chest and said "I love you."

He smiled at me and said "I love you to Zo." as he kissed my forehead

I smiled at him as I told him "Do you really think were going to be her ?"

"You mean August ?"

I nodded as he sat up and said "I don't know really, but if I know one thing you're not going to give up tell we do."

I smiled at him and said "I'm not but, I'm nervous if we don't, plus I don't wanna take long who's know what she going through while she at home."

"I know with a abusive dad and all."

"I don't want her to be scared of us," as Henry sighed to me and said "Well coming from a abusive mom I was pretty scared when it came to people, but I bet when she opens up to us she's going to feel right at home."

I rose up and asked "Henry, I thought we said no phone on ?" hearing his phone rigning.

"Yeah, but what if someone important called me ?" as I rolled my eyes and sat down on his lap as he saw it was his sister, I thought it was cute how he had him and Alex at the beach for the profile picture and how he had her under "My Guardian Angel."

I also know Alex had him under the name "Baby Bro."

He answered the phone and said "Hey Sis, what's up."

I could hear Alex chuckling from the other side and said "Hello Henry, I was just asking did you noticed how weird Spencer was acting early ?"

"Weird ?" I asked as Alex said "Oh, I can see you and Zoe were spending some quality time with each other. Hey Z."

"Hey Al, also what do you mean by weird ?"

"Just acting strange in all,"

"No, she seemed fine early, like she was having fun."

"Yeah she was, but-"

"She was acting suspicion !" We heard over the line from Phoenix.

Me and Henry chuckled as I could feel Alex rolling her eyes

"Yeah, Phi's here to."

"Hello." Phoenix said.

"Hey Phi." me and Henry said as she said "Hey."

"I could check it out, if you want me to." as Alex sighed and said "If you could, that would be nice."

"Sure, I will. I'll make sure, she'll be ok during the party."

"Thanks, Henry. I'll leave you and Zoe to to it," she said with a girly voice.

We both chuckled as I said "I'll leave you and Phi to it." as Alex said "See you at the party."

"Bye."

"Bye." he said hanging up the phone.

I smiled at him and rubbing my hand on my chest and said "Now, where were we ?"

He smiled and grabbed my cheek and pulled it into a passionate kiss, as I smiled and kissed him.

Priscilla

"Mom, I'm going to be late." I told my mother who was taking ages to curl my hair.

It was finally around midnight which is when my party began, I'd was so excited I couldn't  contain my myself.

Zoe had plan the whole thing, and it was all her idea to throw a huge party for my birthday.

Right now I was sitting at my vanity mirror, as my mom was doing my hair, she was dressed in a white blazer with dark washed denim jeans, gray heels, a sparkly gray shirt and a pearl bracelet as her hair was curled as well.

I was dressed like a princess, since I was the princess of the ball, I had to dress right. I even had a big golden crown.

"I know Sweetie, but I want to make sure your waterfall Curl's don't fall." as I gave a slit eye roll as I sighed as I said

"I look like Cinderella." I sated to her as she smile and said "Sweetie, you look amazing, just don't lose your glass slipper ok."

"Golden Slipper in my case." I joked as she smiled and said "Aw, sweetie. I can't believe your seventeenth today."

"Neither, can I mom."

She smiled as she added "Feels like yesterday when I holding you in my arms and you were crying and so was I."

I smiled at my mom and gently rubbed a tear away with my finger as I added "Mom, please don't make me cry, I can't ruin my makeup that Zoe spent hours on."

"Your telling me." Zoe said to me as she fixed her leather jacket.

Zoe had joined me in my room before my mom came she told me about her and Henry, and I couldn't do anything my squeal at her. I was so happy Zoe found a boyfriend and I'd approve. My mom came back after talking to Zoe's mom and brought us rainbow drinks from Starbucks secret menu and Zoe got dressed and started on my makeup right away.

I had to say Zoe looked beautiful. While she did my makeup I did her hair, and a bun looked well on my bestie.

"You look amazing Zoe." I told her as she smiled and said "Thanks. But you look great P."

I smiled at her in my vanity mirror as my mother sprayed perfume on me.

"You're going to be amazing out there P." she told me as I smiled at her as my mom said "Your'e all done Honey."

I rose up as I faced Zoe as she smiled and said one word "Beautiful."

I grinned at her and said "Thank you Zoe."

My mother got the feeling that me and Zoe needed to talk for a little bit as she said "I'll be outside dear, your carriage is waiting for you."

I chuckled and said "Ok Mom." as she grabbed her purse and walked outside.

I then turned back to Zoe as I said "Seventeenth."

She chuckled and said "I know, I can't believe, I've know you 5 months now Priscilla."

I smiled and said "I know, it's kinda hard to believe really."

"You've been my best friend for 5 months now, and-"

I smiled as I said "What I'm the best ?"

"You're not just the best Priscilla, you're the most perfect best friend I could ask for and really your outlook on life is the best." as we made our way towards my cabin bed and sat down.

"I laugh harder with you, I feel more myself with you, I trust you with me- the real me. When something goes wrong or right, or I hear a funny joke, or I see something bizarre, you're the first person I want to talk to."

She grasped my hand and said "And I don't wanna imagine not hearing your laugh, not seeing your smile, or not being able to talk to you because that would be my worst nightmare, because I love you."

I smiled at Zoe. I was really happy I had Zoe as a best friend to.

"Zoe." as I grasped her hand to as I said "Zoe. I love you to. Your're my best friend and I love you to death."

Zoe smiled as tears came down her face as she said "I don't wanna go back to being that Zoe. The Zoe who'd screamed at people and threaten them, the girl who wasn't happy as this one, the girl who was always jealous. I wanna be this girl who love her friends, her boyfriend, and life. I wanna be happy... because you make me happy Priscilla, all the others make me happy.. Henry make me happy."

I smiled at Zoe and embraced her in a hug and said "Don't worry about me leaving ok, I'm going to be here with you till the end and if there a life after that we'll me together again Z, I'm going to love you no matter how mad you make me.. because what I did is found that broken Zoe and help fix her."

Zoe smiled and wiped her tears away as I hugged her and said "Love you Zoe."

"Love you To Priscilla."

I sighed as Zoe sighed to as we both rose from the bed as Zoe walked over and grabbed my gold crown and placed it own my head and said "Let's go Princess, you're carriage awaits."

I chuckled at her as she smiled and said "Let's go." as she laughed as we both walked outside only to see a blue Cinderella like carriage as I smiled and bounced on my toes and said "This is amazing."

"I know, I can't believe it." as we both saw our mothers as Zoe's mom said "Come on a party awaits." as we smiled at the two as we all got into the carriage as the coachman took off...

Lou Ellen

I was in Spencer's room, since we were getting ready for the party tonight.

I was doing my makeup, which would be shades of pink and purple and I was brushing out my bangs.

"Come on Spencer, we can't be late." I told my arrogant half-sister who was fighting with me about wearing the dress I picked out for her.

I thought she was look good in it because purple was both of our colors.

I was wearing a short dark short purple dress with gold heels and my hair was going to be in a down. I also didn't want it to be up because it was a party for gods snake

"I don't wanna wear that dress," I heard Spencer say as I groaned while I turned around only to catch my breath.

I had to say my half-sister did look really hot in purple and black undergarments, 

She leaning on the black room divider, as her once chocolate brown hair was dyed a light purple for Priscilla's party.

"You'll look fine in it ok, now were running late so let's get going." as I turned back and put my mascara on.

"Why can't I just wear my jeans and fancy shirt ?"

"Because Spence, it's a ball, not a rodeo." as she rolled her eyes at me and sat down on her bed.

I glanced back at her and sighed as I sat down next to her and said "Spence, I know you don't like wearing dresses but we have to for the party."

"Oops." I mutter as I brushed Spencer's hand away and began to clean up my mess as Spencer rose from the bed and said "I'm going to get dress."

"Ok." as I heard her snap her finger as I turned around to see her fully dressed.

"Wow." I told her as she grinned and said "I know, it's a bit munch but hey it's for Coral Brain, so."

I chuckled at her as she clinked her boots together and said "I think the platform boots are a bit munch though."

"No, it's perfect. You look beautiful." as Spencer blushed and grumbled "Thanks."

"Why didn't you do the old magic trick ? That would have been a lot easier than changing."

"Because, I like being normal you know, sometimes I like doing things regular."

"You meaning Boring." as I rolled my eyes and said "Regular."

"Boring." she reassured.

"Regular." I said.

"Boring." she said.

But that's when Spencer's door burst open and we turned to see Will.

"Hey, I was looking for you to. I had no idea where you too where. Come on the others are waiting."

 I smiled and brushed it off and grabbed my phone and made my way out of the door...

Alex

I had to say Grace knew how to throw a party.

I didn't even know Grace, could come up with a party like it.

The room was dark, but was lit up with a disco ball that hanged up which made the room shine brightly and then there was a big banner in the middle of the room that read "Happy Seventeen Birthday Priscilla !" there was also a big blue and white seven layered cake on the table only to be followed with the rest of the snacks, like candy, chips, and a giant punch bowl. There was also a big picture of Priscilla in the middle and in front of it was the throne where Priscilla would sit in when she came.

There was your typical kids dancing and talking among each other, and even your couples kissing in the corner only to be rudely broken up by Mr. D.

I'd also learned that the sneaky Hermes Kids and Dionysus Kid's, put Tequila in the punch bowl which effected some of the campers, they were laughing loud and tipsy, all I did was laugh, the counselors did there best to try and find it but every time they were switch it out, the Hermes Kid would just add more, they were ready to get drunk.

The DJ was thumping DaBaby's Bop making some kids dance and go wild, me myself was sitting at a table in the comer with the rest of my friends.

I'd also dressed very fancy for Priscilla's party, me and the rest of my friends wearing our colors, the girls wearing there dresses and the boys wearing suits.

"Wow, you all look great !" Leo said rather loud because of the loud music as we all chuckled as Lou Ellen said "Yeah, Zoe's party idea was a great idea."

"It was, Grace's can come up with good plans." I told them which is when Phoenix came over dressed in her sparkly red dress.

"Hey Guys !" she said loudly, you could tell she was just came from dancing due to the fact she was wet with sweat as she gave me a kiss.

"You just dance." I told her as she smiled and said "Of course, I would love to dance with my partner but I can't because she doesn't want to dance." she said as I noticed how shaky she was as I asked her "Babe are you drunk ?"

"N-No." she slurred as she finally sat down in her seat not without a stumble though.

"Phi, your definitely not sober." Spencer said to her, I was surprised Spencer could even get the word sober out due to the fact she had drunk some of the the punch tequila to.

"Spencer, how many have you had anyway ?" Annabeth asked as Spencer giggled and tried to rise up to her legs but swayed as she took a drink from the table and drunk it and said "M-Make, it seven, I don't know how many shots I have, but I can't even remember the name of it."

"Yep, your definitely wasted." Reed told her as she sat back down and slurred "Am not."

"No more drinks you two, and how many have you had Phi ?"

"I believe, I've had at least three." as she reach for a drink but I took it away from her and gave her water instead.

"AWWWW." she slurred as I said "No more, you're drinking water." as she pouted and said "Fine."

"Has anyone else drunk the punch ?"

"I've had a one, I'm fine." Reed said as Henry said "I haven't had any at all."

The others nodded but me, since me myself had drunk four shots of punch tequila.

"You two Al ?!" Jason said as I held my head and said "Look, I've had tequila before so I'm sober as of right now."

"That's it, nobody drink anymore punch." Percy said as Spencer rested her head on the table, I could sense she was having a huge hangover.

That's when Zoe walked over more like swayed over, I could tell she was more than drunk. She struggled to keep her balance.

"Oh no, Zoe to." Grover said to us as they watched the young daughter of Zeus swaying left and right, I could also tell she was begging for help, which is when my brother step in and caught her before she fell face first onto the ground and made his way towards the table.

"She ok ?" Lou Ellen asked Henry as he groaned which is when Zoe rose her head, her cheeks were bright red and she was warm, and her pupils were dilated.

"H-Hey B-a-a-by !" she said rather loud, Henry pulled away, I could tell her breath was reeking of tequila.

"Zoe, babe, I think your drunk."

"I AM not." she slurred to him.

"Ok, trying touch your nose." Jason told his younger cousin.

She rose her brow at him and tried to touch her nose but missed.

"Yep you are intoxicated !" Leo said rather loud as we all ssh him.

"Leo ! April would kill Zoe if she found out she was drunk !" Henry told him as he said "Oops, sorry."

"I'm not that drunk." she slurred rocking herself back and forth.

"Yes, you are. You need to go back to your cabin."

"Wow, I love your outfit." she told Annabeth as she added "I wish I was you right now."

"I don't know why I wore these stupid heels." she said as Leo said "Yeah, she needs to rest."

"She can't, she's giving the grand speech remember."

"Oh right, she's is, dang it." Henry said to himself which is when Zoe groaned as she slurred "My head hurts."

"It should be, you've been drinking the punch tequila," Henry told her as she made herself comfortable in Henry's lap and asked "Can I at least eat something ?"

"Yeah, food should help at least dull the effects of the alcohol." Reed told him which is when Henry turned to his girlfriend and said

"What would you like ?"

"May, I-I please have nachos ?"

"Of course." he said to her as he sat her down as she put her head on the table trying to clam down the alcohol in her blood stream.

"Okay, I brought you all some," he said handed Spencer, me, Phoenix, and Zoe the nachos as we all began to devour them.

"Ooh, so munch cheese." Spencer said licking the golden cheese off her fingers as Zoe nodded and said "I think, I'm back to normal now."

"Yeah, you all are." Lou Ellen joked which is when the light's shifted to the door in the corner as Zoe got up and said "Come on, I think that's Priscilla." as we all got up but I grabbed one more nacho as we made our way towards the back door were a crowd had from as we all got in front.

Henry then noticed Reed looking nervous as he nudged him and asked "Dude are you nervous ?"

"Yeah, alittle not going to lie bro."

"Dude, just breathe and go greet the princess." as Reed smiled at him as he said "Thanks Dude."

"Hey what are best friends for ?" Henry said as Reed dabbed him off and went towards the door, in his honey mustard suit ready to get the princess.

Reed fixed his bow as we gave him a thumbs up.

Chiron walked over towards the stage as we all turned to him and said "This day, is a special day. Because we are here to celebrate the birthday of a very special demigod, a demigod who has help Camp Half-Blood since she came through the border. Our dearest daughter of Poseidon Priscilla Jackson." as the crowd clapped which is when Priscilla's carriage pulled by as she walked through the door as we all cheered and clapped for her as she smiled and waved like a princess.

She then saw Reed who playful bowed at her as she chuckled as she gave a playful curtsy back as he took her hand and kissed it causing Priscilla to blush as she mutter "Hello Prince Charming."

"Hello Cinderella." as she smiled as he locked her arm and his as the to made there way towards Priscilla's white and gold throne as he went back to the side as Priscilla's mom was on the other.

She sat down and smiled at the rest of us which is when it was time for all of us to give our speeches.

We all took turns saying the things we loved about Priscilla and how important she was in all our lives and how she change them, they're were laughs and tears but most importantly memories.

After Spencer gave her speech we all clapped as Priscilla said mouthed "Love you Spencer." as she smiled and went to the side and gave Reed the microphone which is when Reed came up as Priscilla titled her head and smiled.

"Wow, is all I can say right now. When we first meet Priscilla, I'd help you train with your bow and arrow and you almost shoot Chiron in the eye." as the crowd laughed along with the rest of us.

"You were the most amazing thing I'd ever laid on, I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend than you Priscilla Lynn Jackson." as Priscilla wiped tears away with her finger as she sniffled and grined at him.

"I don't know what it is about you, but year by year, You just keep on looking more and more beautiful, and I feel like I have fallen deeper and deeper in love with you. I don't want to live a single day without you apart of my life. Happy Birthday My Little Mermaid." tears were inside the cute couples eyes as Priscilla smiled at him and chuckled and said "Love you to."

He smiled and nodded as he walked over to the side which is when Zoe came up, she hadn't even said her speech yet and was already crying.

I know how close the to were, and the bond they formed over the months they know each other.

"I've know you for a while now Priscilla, and it's been the most happiest moments of my life." as she smiled as Zoe smiled back.

"When, I first meet you, I got mad at you because you sprayed me with fountain water and I hated you for a couple of weeks until I saw how kind you are."

"You are kind, amazing, perfect and I'm so in love with you. You've never left my side and you've stood up for me when nobody else would." as tears steamed down the two's cheeks.

Zoe sniffled as she wiped her eyes and said "I'm so happy to have you in my life. I of course wrote all of this down because my grammar skills are amazing." as the crowd laughed.

"To my wonderful friend Priscilla. You have been a good friend from the start. You are there for me when I need a helping hand, you brighten my day when I need a good laugh, and you make me realize just how special it is to have such a wonderful friend like you in my life. May your greatest wishes come true Priscilla and may you have a amazing seventeen birthday, Love your best friend Zoe." as the crowd clapped along with the rest of us.

"Love you Zoe." Priscilla said as Zoe bowed to her and said "Love you two."

After all of us got done it was time for Priscilla to open her presents.

She got lot's of jewelry and blue clothes along with plenty of makeup from the Aphrodite Cabin and even a photo album from Zoe of the two friendship along with many more.

Let's just say blue gifts were all over the place, that's when it was Priscilla's mom turn for her gift.

"Mom, just know that my gift doesn't have to be big, believe me we already have a lot."

Priscilla's mom chuckled as she said "Believe me, Sweetie. You deserve this."

Priscilla rose a brow which is when Priscilla's mom pulled car keys which made Priscilla's scream as she bounced on her toes and said "MOM ! YOU DIDN'T !"

"I surely did." as she handed them to her and said "Go look outside." as Priscilla's squealed and gestured for us to come as we all followed her along with the crowd.

Once we got outside we saw a sliver car sitting in by Camp's entrance as we all gasped and stared at the nice vehicle as Priscilla jumped in the air even in heels as she turned to her mom and said "Mom ! Thank you so munch !" as she hugged her as Priscilla's mom smiled and said "Anything for you baby girl."

She caught her breath and said "Mom, this must have cost a fortune, you didn't have to do all this, I would have been fine riding with Reed."

"Priscilla, you're about to be seventeen, and getting ready to get your license, you need a car." she told her as she smiled and hugged her and jumped in joy because of her car as she said "I'm so happy." as the crowd laugh which is when Priscilla's mom turned to her and said "I almost forgot about all of this." as she handed Priscilla's a long blue box with a bow on it as she took it from her and unwrapped the bow as she opened the bow and put her hand over her mouth and looked like she was about to burst in tears.

"Oh my gods." she said as she picked up a trident charm necklace that was light blue and decorated with seashells and other oceans objects as she put the necklace on and saw a note at the bottom as she began to read it.

To my little princess, Priscilla Lynn Jackson

Daughter, I'm sorry If I don't say this often. I love you. I have and always will. I breathe because you breathe. I am happy because you are happy. Thank you for being the best daughter I could ask for, and I know I haven't been in your life as munch as you want, but I love you with all my heart, you are becoming a beautiful young lady and I'm very proud of what you've though, may the gods keep blessing you and may you have a amazing seventeen birthday.

From your father, Poseidon.

Priscilla could barely say the letter before she just started crying, she was so happy her dad brought her a gift, she wiped her tears as she looked up to the sky and say "Thank you Dad, love you to."

She sniffled and folded the letter back into the box which is when Zoe's mom said "I think it's time for the birthday girl to cut the cake."

Priscilla smiled as she said to the crowd "Well, let's get some cake !" as the crowd cheered as we all walked back inside.

~~~

Spencer

Once Priscilla cut the tall white and blue cake {which was blue on the inside} and served it to us, I may have been on a huge sugar rush.

Plus, I had seven cups of punch tequila. I was on a roll and was bouncing off the walls.

Once the DJ played all of hard songs, Priscilla pulled all of us to the dance floor and we literally dance the night away. Me and the girls dancing  and even lip syncing and singing aloud.

Soon it had grow midnight, and once I heard Love Story by Taylor Swift come on, I know it was time for my worst type of dancing "Slow Dancing."

That's when me along with all the other "partnerless." campers went to the side as all the couples remanded on the floor and began to slow dance.

I had to say they all looked really cute. It was Percy and Annabeth, Piper and Jason, Grover and Juniper, Priscilla and Reed, Henry and Zoe and Alex and Phoenix.

They all looked amazing. Priscill and Reed were the main attract of the party, they were in the front center, they moved together almost as if they were one person.

Along with all the others dancing together.

I was just sitting in the darkness drinking the punch tequila since I was already drunk enough, as I just looked at the others.

Which is when Lou Ellen came towards me as she asked "You're still drinking ?" as I narrowed my eyes at her and said "Yes, and I'm pretty sure, I'm about to throw up."

She chuckled at me and took the drink from my hands and sat it at the table as we both briefly smiled at one anothe.

~~~

Alex

"Oh my gods." Phoenix whispered to me happy at the fact we were just being normal kids or worst  as I nodded slowly my head on her chest as I said "I know, I can't believe it."

"This is perfect" as I added "But what happen to that after party you promised me ?" as I rubbed her bare shoulders as she smiled and said "Don't worry, I didn't forget your invention." as I smiled as I told her "I'm going go get some punch, I'll be right back."

"Ok." she told me as I smiled at her and kissed her cheek as I went to the punch trident't shaped bowl and poured myself some, heck I didn't care if it was full of tequila, I needed this.

I got done drinking my punch as I wiped my lips only to hear a voice I didn't want to hear "Look, it's Little Miss Self Harm."

I groaned and turned around only to see Rowan along with some of the others snobby Aphrodite girls. Rowan was dressed in a light pink low trimmed dress with a diamond headband with sliver heels and light makeup as the girls behind her match her.

Well not all of them were like that, there were some good apples like my friend Piper, Micheal and Lucy but the rest of them were just.. ugh...

"What do you want ?" I asked as she frowned and said "Nothing. Just seeing if you bit the dust yet." she said with a smirk as I rolled my eyes and said "Not in the mood, and please not at my friend's birthday" as I turned back around.

"So this is the Hades's Kid, man Carson must had beg you to go with her."

That's when I clenched the glass cup full of punch as my eyes faded black as I put the cup down and said "Don't and looks like to me your just here to cause trouble. Let me guess still go hot wrists ?"

Rowan growled at me and shifted her handbag to where it covered her still red wrists from where my girlfriend clenched them.

"I don't know, still got cut ones." one asked me as my eyes dropped as Rowan said "I still can't believe, anyone cares about you. You're nothing."

Tears welled inside my eyes as I turned back around just so they didn't see me cry as I sniffled to myself and wiped my tears away but they just keep coming back with even more.

Tears steamed down my cheeks as I clenched my fist causing things to start shaking. The food table, the chandelier at the top and even the presents around the place as people just look and turn to me.

"Oh no." Lou Ellen said which is when Spencer turned around along with the rest of my friends.

"Guys." Priscilla said as Rowan continued to laugh at me,

That's when Phoenix looked up at the chandelier shaking and then back at me and then towards Rowan along with the other Aphrodite's girls.

It was like Phoenix was a bull and Rowan was the red because she just charged over anger than ever which is when Rowan turned around noticing her and all Phoenix did was punch her hard in the face.

It was loud and hard from what it sounded like, everybody just watch as Rowan fell to the ground as the others hurried before Phoenix tried to kill her.

"Didn't I tell you back off ?!"

"Phi, it's ok ! Clam down !" Reed told her having to hold her, that's when Henry came to see whether or not I was ok. 

I just pushed his hand away as tears blinded my visions as I stormed away and went towards the Hades's Cabin.

That's when Reed let Phoenix go as she noticed me running towards my cabin. "Al !" she shouted along with the rest of my friends.

She then turned to Rowan, who was on the ground groaning as she spit the blood from her mouth which is when Phoenix grabbed her by her dress as her eyes burned with fire along with the rest of her body as she growled at her.

She was boiling with rage, it had overcame her. Everybody was scared since they know how strong Phoenix's was when it came to her fire powers. She could lit someone on fire, especially when it came to me.

"I should light you on fire !" she roared to her as fire began to grow onto the tables as Phoenix's birthmark glowed as she screeched like a Phoniex.

"Phi !" Leo said as he put his hand's on her shoulder as he said "Phi ! Clam down."

Phoniex eyes faded along with the tables that were brunt with flames as she grabbed Rowan by her neck and said "I'm not finished with you. Your best thing to do is not to run into me this summer." as she threw her to the ground as Phoniex grabbed her stuff and walked to the Hades Cabin

"Phi-"

"I don't need help !" she yelled back as Leo stopped in his tracks as Henry put his hand on his shoulder and said "Let her go. If there's anyone my sister would like running after her, it's Phi..."

~~~

Alex

A horrible ringing was inside my ear. Not only was it the ringing, my heart was beating so fast and I felt like I was going to collapse.

I just ran to the Hades's Cabin and locked the door.

Tears were just inside my eyes, and my face had turned a bright red. I ran my fingers threw my hair as I just sat on her bed and just started shaking.

The ringing was beginning to get to bad for me, I just sat on my bed crying while all the things the Aphrodite Cabin told me was just playing in my head, as my vision felt fuzzy as my eyes glanced up to my red pocketknife that sat on my dresser.

My eyes went wide and it was like my heart beat was echoing. There was the voices again, the bad ones and the good ones going at it.

"Do it !"

"You heard them !"

"Nobody wants you here !"

"Your worthless !"

"Don't do it !"

"Don't Listen to them !"

"Think about the people you love !"

"You're.... WORTHLESS !" my good thought said turning into the bad ones.

My makeup ran down my face, as I got ready to take my final breath.

I grabbed the pocketknife as I went to the bathroom and shut the doors.

My thought's kept getting worst as I started to run the water as I began to take off my dress following my shoes and leather jacket.

I was bare as I just sat inside the bath and cried to myself while cutting various part's of my body.

It made the water in my tub turned blood red as I just sat in it and wailed causing many earthquakes to happen and the tiles of the bathroom to pop off.

Once my voice was gone, I threw the pocketknife out of the tub as tears fell down my face as I slowly began to drown myself...

~~~

Phoniex

"Didn't I say, I didn't need help ?" I told my fellow friends, who even if I said "I didn't need there help." still followed me.

"Yeah, but you seem pretty tick off, so that's why were here." Zoe told me as I sighed and said "I am, but I need to make sure she's ok." I told them as Priscilla said "Let's pray."

Once we finally got reach the cabin, I tried to open the door but It wouldn't open.

"It's lock." I said which is when bad things went threw my head.

"That's strange." Lou Ellen as she gestured for the rest of us to back away as she said "Dissero." which is when the door open wide as Henry said "Magic and all it's possibility's."

"You're telling me." Spencer said as we all walked in as we began to call out to Alex.

"Alex !"

"Al !"

"I'll look around for her." Nico told me as he walked to the next room as Priscilla walked to me and put my hand on her shoulder as she said "Don't worry. We'll find her."

I took in a deep breath and said "Thanks." as she nodded as Zoe said "Let's look for her." as we all split up looking around the Hades's Cabin.

"Man the Hades Cabin so goth." Leo joked as I rolled my eyes at him which is when Spencer made it to the bathroom and noticed the lock door as she glanced and make sure we weren't looking as she said "Dissero."

The door then opened as she noticed the lights were off as she searched for the light switch and then heard the dripping coming from a  faucet as she  tripped over shoes.

"The heck." she said as she final found the lights as she turned them on as she looked noticing a arm littered with cut's sticking out as she then saw Alex not breathing under bloody red water.

Spencer's eyes stayed wide as tears came down her face, as her eyes faded to her demon ones as she hyperventilated as her demon appeared in the mirror's as she wailed loud causing the mirror's to break.

She then rushed to help Alex out of the bath as she turned off the water and wrapped the daughter of Hades in a white towel.

Alex's eyes were wide open, as she held Alex to her chest which is when the others rushed over.

"Spencer-" Lou Ellen said but then they noticed a breathless Alex as Lou Ellen covered her hand with her mouth as the others rushed over.

"OH MY GODS !" Priscilla cried seeing the breathless Daughter of Hades.

I then rushed into the room as the others turned to me with teary face as my eyes shifted down to Alex who eyes were at the top of her head.

I wailed as tears rushed down my face as I rushed towards her and tried to wake her up, more like yelling and uncontrollable crying.

"ALEX ! ALLY PLEASE WAKE UP! ALEX !" as she stayed unconscious, as Henry said "REED DO SOMETHING !"

Reed being the Son of Apollo he was gently grabbed Alex from Spencer, and first check for her pulse. He told us it was barely there. He then lied her head back and tilt her chin and head backwards to help clear her airway.

He then pushed down right in the center of her chest firmly countless amount's of times, but she stayed breathless.

Reed then turned to me and asked "Phi ?! Do you know Mouth to Mouth?" as I nodded which is when I shifted Alex to me as I said in spanish "Lord, please don't take her away from me," (I reverted to spanish whenever I got angry or nervous) as I pinch her nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth breathing and cover the her mouth with mine, making a seal as I began to give her breaths.

God's I was so scared. I couldn't lose her. She mean't the world to me. Once I realized mouth to mouth wasn't working, I came to the conclusion that she was dead.

I just pulled Alex to me and cried along with the others. We did everything we could and it didn't help.

Henry put his hand on my shoulder as he nodded to me as I cried into his chest.

I laid Alex back down on the ground and closed her eyes for her. I couldn't leave her like that.

I accepted the fact she was dead, which is when Alex jolted awake and coughed the water from her mouth as she gagged as she laid herself back down as we all looked at her shocked and happy.

"Guys." she grumbled which is when I pulled her into a tight hug. I just cried, I was so happy she was ok and safe in my arms.

I then separated to see her mascara ruined face as she glanced around seeing all the others smiling at her and crying as she realized what happened.

"I-I, I-I-" she then broke down crying as she said to me "Phi, I'm so sorry." as I nodded and said "It's okay, I'm here." as she cried as I added "I'm not going anyway." as she cried into my chest and it turned into a munch needed group hug.

Thank you God, For keeping my heart here ♡.

~~~

Zoe

We all decided to ditch the party and just stay in the Hades Cabin.

After Alex literately survived suicide, she just sat on her bed with the white towel Spencer gave her covering her as she stayed silent.

Her hair was wet and her mascara was still down her face.

We all sat down close to Alex as we were talking and chanting.

"Ok, I'm going to go brew some green tea." Lou Ellen told us as she brushed her dress off as the smell of green tea filled the Hades Cabin.

"Thanks Lou." Henry told her as she nodded and went to the back to brew the tea.

We all then turned to Alex who cut legs were dangling off the bed as she held the towel close to her which is when Nico said "Don't think you can avoid talking to us Al." as she rose her eyes at him.

"I know." she grumbled as I said "You scared us half to death, why ?" as her eyes dropped which is when Phoniex put her hand on her cheek but Alex blushed it away and turned away from her, almost as if she was mad at her.

"If you know, then why did you do it ?!" Henry asked her as she turned to him and in a loud tone screamed "BECAUSE I WANT TO DIE !" causing things to shake as her voice went back down as she said

"The real question is why did you all save me ?! I could have been rid of this terrible world if you all didn't save me !"

"Alex, Suicide doesn't take the pain away, it passes it to someone else." Priscilla told her as the rest of us nodded.

"I don't care. I hate my life," which made Phoniex very angry as she stood up and said "Are you freaking kidding me Ally ?! Do not say you hate your life and you're not thankful to be breathing ! Do you not know how scared all of us were to find you sitting in a bath of you're own blood and not breathing ?! and here you are saying you rather die than be alive !"

Alex narrowed her eyes at her and said "I didn't mean it like that ! You don't understand how hard all of this has been for me !"

"What do you mean I don't understand ?!"

"Phoenix, I want to scream, I want to cry. I'm sick of people reminded me how worthless I am. Not only was it people here. It was my toxic mother who keep remanding how munch she wanted me gone. She abused me both physical and emotional. She said I was to ugly, she said I was to fat for her liking, she said I needed to be skinny. Which turned me into a horrible eating disorder. She wanted me to act a certain way," as she added "Talk like this, eat like that, sit like this." Like I had no control of my own freaking life."

"That is why, I want to die. I suffer for bulimia, I suffer from PTSD, I suffer from anxiety, Mood swings, suicidal thoughts, and schizophrenia. And you're in no right to tell me about hardships ! how peach perfect you're life is !"

Phoniex eyes went wide along with the others as Alex regretted what she said as she said "Phi, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry I was just angry."

Phoniex eyes dropped as she took in a dep breathe said "It's whatever, I'm going to give you space right now, It's the best thing I can do. I need to go to the Hephaestus Cabin." as Phoniex grabbed her stuff and walked away.

"Phi !" Alex said as she sighed and held her aching head as she walked back and forth and said "I'm stupid, I shouldn't have said that, she hates me." as I got up and said "Alex, breath." as she followed as she said "I'm sorry."

"It's ok. You just need some rest."

"No, I need to go help you clean up Priscilla. I'm sorry I ruined your birthday, you probably hate me now." as her head dropped as Priscilla keeled down and said "Alex, I would never hate you. It's ok. I got the best birthday present I could ask for and that was you surviving suicide."

Alex smiled and said "Thank you." as Priscilla got back up and said "Let's get going." as Alex added "I'm going to change and I'll meet you guys back at the party."

They nodded as they walked back to the party as I went to change.

Alex

I had to say, I was ok for real this time.

After surviving suicide, I had to say I felt better since I realized so many people cared about me. It was also bittersweet because I knew Phoniex was beyond mad at me.

I clean myself up and blew dried my hair along with cleaning my cuts as I washed my face, not worrying about makeup or anything and put on a new set of clothes.

I then went to help clean up Priscilla's party. Everybody had fun and wished Priscilla a happy birthday. The place was left a mess though. There was punch tequila everywhere, they're was glitter and confetti everywhere.

"Man people really did enjoy the party." Reed joked as we all went to cleaning.

"You're telling me." Zoe's mom said vacuuming.

I was in the corner picking up split food which is when I heard "You're Alex right ?"

I then jolted because the voice whoever it was touch my shoulder and from my past experience at home I hate being touched.

I then pushed the hand away and turned only to see it was Mrs. Jackson.

I then froze and felt like a fool, gosh why I so shaky.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." I told her as she brushed it off and said "It's fine dear, I understand why you're so shaky."

I then began to shake out of control, the broom in my hand must have been holding on for dear life as Priscilla mom noticed and asked "Alex are you ok ?" as I kept saying "I'm sorry."

She then like a mother kneed down and cupped my cheek as tears welled inside my eye as she said "Alex, I know that you're struggling with you're mental health and I want to help."

I sniffled as I wiped my eyes as I asked "Did Priscilla tell you ?"

She nodded and rubbed my shoulders and said "Alex as a mother, I'm so sorry for all you've been through. No children should ever have to go threw what you did at you're home."

I wiped my face as she asked "Are you ok ?" as I cleared my throat and said "Honestly I'm kinda alright."

"I understand, do you know what you suffer from ?" as I nodded as she said "Well other than being a baker, I'm also a therapist."

My eyes went wide as I said "Really ?"

She nodded with a smile and said "You need to talk to someone, and I want to help you."

I nodded as I smiled as she asked me "Do you have anything that helps you with you're thoughts ?"

"Well other than the self harm, I talk to my friends and I write in a diary."

"That's good for helping you," as I nodded as she said "Alex, would you like it if you would come over for some days for a session with me and we get you some medicine to take."

I was shocked. She wanted to help me. I was confused because I thought all adult's weren't better than the sick kids I've meet in my life, but Mrs. Jackson was very nice to me.

I smiled at her and said "Thank you, and I would like that," she nodded at me and rose up and said "It's going to be okay, I'm here for you."

Those words just played back into my head "I'm here for you." my mother never told me she was here for me, she never told me she loved me. I've never know what It felt like to have a mother's love and care. What if felt like to have you're mother bake you cookies, or hug you when you're sad and give you a stern yet gentle lesson when you've wrong. I always wanted that, but all I got was a women who didn't even care. She didn't even care that I took her son and ran away. She talked down to me all the time. Calling me names, How she wanted me to act, and how she wanted me to look and yet my friend mother treated me like I was her daughter.

I just cried as I asked her "Um. Mrs Jackson ?" as she asked "Yes Alex ?" as I said "I know that I'm not really you're daughter, but thank you for offering to help me. You're a very great mother and you're daughter is really amazing and-"

I then started crying again and without thinking I'd hugged her, being the kind women she was she hugged me back and said "It's ok. Let it all out."

I removed myself from her as I sniffled as she said "We can start next week." as I nodded which is when Priscilla and the others came over.

"Ok, I think everything clean." Reed said as Priscilla added "Yep, I just gotta put all this stuff in my car and we'll be done for the night."

"Yes, it's already past midnight and we all need our rest." Chiron said as I'd said "Yeah, also Happy Birthday Priscilla."

She smiled and gave me a hug and said "Thank you Alex." as she smiled as I sighed and said "Thank you Mrs. Jackson, I'll be at you're home soon."

"Yeah, I can drive you there." Priscilla told me as I nodded as Spencer yawned and said "I'm bet. I'll see you guys tomorrow." as Lou Ellen said "Yeah, see you guys at breakfast."

"Yeah." as Zoe's mom said "Yea, I need to be getting back. I'm busy tomorrow."

Priscilla's mom nodded as she said "Yes, let's get going. I can drive you April and we can go for a drink ?"

April smiled and said "You know I love wine." as she smiled and said "I know Peaches." as she smirked and kissed  Zoe's forehead as she said "I love you and I'll see you when you get home  ok ?"

"Ok, let me guess Chinese Takeout ?"

"Sweet and Sour or Orange Chicken ?" as I smiled and said "You know I love Orange."

Zoe's mom smiled and said "I'll see you ok."

Zoe smiled and gave her mother a hug and said "Love you mom." as she smiled and said "Love you to."

She then turned to my brother and said "It was also great to meet you Henry, even if we did already. Please love my daughter with all of you're heart."

Henry smiled and said "I will." as Zoe's mom turned to Priscilla's mom and asked "Red wine or White wine ?"

"You know whatever you want." as Zoe's mom smiled and said "I missed you Olivia."

She smiled and said "I missed you to." as they waved goodbye to there daughters and us and walked to Priscilla's mom car and drove away.

"Yeah, I'm going to hit the hay." Jason said as I nodded and said "Yeah, I'm going down to the Hephaestus Cabin."

"Oh yeah Phi." Henry said as I nodded and whipped my face and said "I'll see you guys."

They nodded and walked off to there cabins as me and Leo walked to Cabin 9.

Phoniex

I had to get away from The Hades Cabin.

Since Alex thought I didn't go threw enough in my life, I just stayed underground in my room in the forge.

I had my own little work desk which had all my blueprints and inventions all over the place no matter how clean I tried to make it along with a little bed in the corner when I was to lazy to back up to the Hephaestus Cabin and get in my own.

I had changed into some demin shorts with a white shirt and a palid jacket overneath snaking on some tortilla chips and salsa.

I was working on a new sketch for Phoniex who stayed in my room with me, she sat just like dog lying in her separate room watching me and drinking some motor oil.

She noticed me being a workaholic as she whimpered as I turned to her and said "I'm fine Girl. I'm just working." 

She then whimper again as I sighed and said "I am not mad at Alex."

She then gave me a look as I sighed and said "Ok I am, but hey I have the right." as I dip my chip  and ate it as Phoniex laid down again on her mattress as I got up and walked around and said "I mean, I know I haven't been through as much hardships as the others but I'm still broken right ?"

I then broke down crying and fell to the ground as I brought my knees to my chest as Phoniex nudged me in my back and gave me a smile as I smiled back and turned to her and grabbed her cheek and said "Aw, I love you to," as I wiped my eyes and went back to my chair and threw her a tortilla chip as she ate it as I smiled at her which is when I heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it ?" as I didn't hear anybody say anything as I opened the door only to find Alex playing with her fingers as she rose her eyes at me and wiped her eyes and said "Hey."

"Hey." I told her leaning on my door.

There was a moment of silence between us, until Alex said "Um, Priscilla's mom offered to be my therapist." 

I rose a brow and nodded while giving a awkward smile and said "That's Good. I bet it will help."

There was more silence until Alex said "Nice plaid shirt." 

I narrowed m eyes knowing she was just trying to start some converstion.

I for= "Thanks." as she glanced in seeing my room seeing a glass bottle of Jarrito's Mandrain bowl full of tortilla chips with salsa as she said "Jarritos and tortilla chips."

"Yeah, it's my favorite." as she gave a mini laugh saying "I know." I gave a brief smile, she did pay attention to my ADHD self.

 "I'm sorry for what I said to you early it was wrong."

I sighed and said "I know you're sorry but It still hurts." as she nodded and said "I know it should. I know you've been through you're own hardships and I shouldn't have judge you like that I'm sorry."

I sighed as I rose from the wall as I said "Why ?! Why would you want to end you're life like that ?! I was really scared and I thought I lost you."

She sighed and said "I know but I wasn't thinking and I wanted to end my pain."

"Suicide, isn't the answer for that !" as Alex voice rose again as she said "You don't think I know that ?! I told you I was sorry Phi, what more do you want me to say ?!"

"How about emitting that it was stupidly crazy."

She ranked her fingers threw her hair angrily and said "I know ?! But would you just listen to me instead of yelling !"

"I AM LISTENING !" I yelled to her as she yelled back "NO YOU'RE NOT ! Your'e being a hypocrite." as I said "A hypocrite ?! And here I thought you were here to apologize not your not, you're just making my night worse !"

"Fine, I know I'm stupid Phi ! I wasn't thinking when I wanted to do it ! I regret it ! I would have never forgive myself when I ended it ! I would have left you hurt ! Henry and all the others ! And I know I'm stupid and you're right ! You're always right ! I'm a mentally unstable mess who just needs someone to care and I know you've been stuff to and I'm sorr-"

I didn't say anything back to her but I just grabbed her cheeks and gave her a heartwarming kiss. Gosh at least she admit it to me. I just wanted to kiss her so she didn't break down again. She been through enough tonight.

She then gave a confused look but then accepted my kiss and kissed me back and ran her fingers throw my hair as we hit the wall as I continued to kiss her.

I pulled away to smile at her, as I asked her, "Do you want to watch a movie?" as Alex smiled saying, "Yeah that sounds amazing." as I smiled at her taking her hand leading her to my room.
