Chapter 5 : My Dinner Goes Up In Smoke
Zoe
After my conversation with Hades, I question his relationship with Alex's and Henry. But I kept it on the low and decided to enjoy me and Priscilla returning to Camp after a month.
"To Zoe and Priscilla Return" Leo said as we all smiled about to make a toast.
"To Zoe and Priscilla Return." well all said as we clinged our cherry red soda's together.
We all laughed as we sipped our soda's.
"I have to say it's glad to have our two demigods back." Percy said as I smiled as Priscilla chuckled and nibbled on a blue chocolate chip cookie.
"It feels good to be back at Camp, Right Thunderhead." as she nudged me as I gave a awkward laugh.
"Anyway, why was a Empousa after you two ?" Annabeth asked.
"I have no idea really. But she did say something about two people named Alex's and Henry."
"Alex and Henry ?" Annabeth muttered as Piper added "Who ever they are. If a monster as strong as a Empousa was attracted to them they must be powerful."
"I agree. I mean they just have to be." Phoenix said as Phoenix noticed how quite I was.
"Hey, Sparks You're really quite." she said to me as I looked up with a clueless face.
"I know that is not normal for even you." Jason told me as I sipped my soda as I sighed as I went back quite.
"Is something wrong Zoe ?" Percy asked me as I looked up and removed the soda from my lips and said "N-No. Nothing just was in space."
Priscilla sighed as she turned to me and said "Z every since we've been back at Camp you've been off. Even at school. What's up ?"
I stuttered as I saw Priscilla's soda was just sitting at the table as I moved my finger causing the soda to fall on her shorts.
"Gods. Sorry P, guess I moved my hand a little to hard." as I gave her some napkins as she looked up from her new soda stain shorts as she gave a soft smile as I said "It's ok. It was a accident."
I smiled at her. "It was if she forget what we were talking about."
I had to say I felt bad for messing up one of favorite pairs of shorts. But heck the gods were going to kill me if they found out that I told Priscilla about our little deal.
Then the loudspeaker came on as we turned out attention to Chiron as he spoke up.
"Attention all campers. It is a honor to welcome the return of our two demigods. Priscilla Jackson and Zoe Grace" as the campers clapped in our honor along with our friends.
"We did not get this recognize when we first came here." I mutter to Priscilla as she chuckled at me.
"These two demigods. Have done many to help Olympus and protect Camp Half-Blood this is why these two are know as the heroes of Camp-Half Blood." Chiron said as we smiled at him as Phoenix whistle for us.
"Welcome and pay your respects to these two. They deserve it." Chiron told us as the campers clapped as he walked away as we all went back to eating.
Today was also very good because today was spaghetti night.
"Well, Camps really honor us tonight." Priscilla said.
"Campers don't hate you guys. They just fear you two." Annabeth told us.
"Why ? Were not scary." I said as I slurped up a noddle.
"Your not scary but your fathers are."
"I mean take Percy for example. When he first came people thought of him like a normal demigod, until they learn he was a son of Poseidon."
"That we they knew to stay away." Grover said.
Annabeth sighed and said "What were trying to say is the campers don't hate you guys, they fear you out of respect. Since children of the big three are more powerful than normal demigods."
"You two should want to be fear don't you ?" Phoenix asked me as I took in a sigh as Priscilla slurped a noddle.
~~~
Later that night all of the campers were joined together for Camp's Campfire.
We would all talk about things happen at Camp and sing Camp-Fire song together. Will would usually take control of singing but he was to busy with Nico so another person took control.
We all just gotten finished signing Down By the Aegean.
We all laughed as we began to eat s'mores we were roasted.
I probably had over six s'mores sitting in my stomach and I knew that I looked like I was 21 weeks pregnant.
I sat next to Priscilla eating my seventh s'mores as she was on her third as Leo and Phoenix was next to me.
"Aw Z when the baby due ?" Phoenix joked to me as she put her hand on my newly round stomach as I laughed at her as I rubbed my stomach which was full of s'mores.
"I know, she going to explode" Jason said to his younger cousin as Zoe rolled her eyes as she said "Please Jason. You've seen me eat a lot of food before." as I started to drink red soda.
Jason rolled his eyes at me. I knew he was disappointed in my poor eating habits. Jason liked to eat sweet stuff two but not as much as I do.
I remember from what my mother told me when she use to drop me off at Camp Half-Blood to be babysit. I was like 2 months old I was sitting in my playpen eating Skittles as the others went over a meeting. Jason then told me I threw it all up minutes later.
My mom told Jason after that day to never give me sweet stuff every again because she says "my tummy couldn't handle it."
I ate my eighth s'mores as I drunk my milk as Priscilla said "Who do you guys think Alex and Henry are ?"
I belched and said "Obviously there half-bloods just like the rest of us."
"Do you think they know ?" Ivy asked me.
I sighed as Grover said "If they do then there in even more danger than we thought."
"Let's be careful. We don't want to attract monster to them." Percy said.
"They will be them in even more danger." Priscilla said as she was nibble on her last s'more of the night.
I sat up and I propped myself up as I made a thought "What If there like us P ?" as she turned to me and said "What if there even more powerful than we thought."
"Do you mean like Big Three powerful ?" Leo asked me.
"Yea maybe."
"Zoe that would be terrible ! With you two being the next kids of the Big Three and if they are the other two than who's know Olympus would go in chaos !" Annabeth told be.
I sighed as I said "We need to find them ?"
"And how are we going to find them ?" Phoenix asked me roasting a marshmallow.
Percy's eyes lit up as he said "I think I have a idea."
"What is it ?"
"I'll tell you guys tomorrow." he said to us.
Priscilla rose her brow at her older half brother as Annabeth sighed and asked "What do you have in mind now Seaweed Brain ? It isn't stupid is it ?'
"No it's not. I think this well led us to the two.
"Well let's try your fine idea. Seaweed Brain" I told him as I sat up and brought myself to my feet as I turned to the others.
"We'll meet back up in the morning. Decides It almost 11:00"
"Yea we need to get ready for bed."
"Alright See everyone tomorrow" Priscilla said as her and Percy headed to the Poseidon Cabin.
"Night." Phoenix said as she rounded up all of Cabin 9 as walked towards their cabin.
I sighed as one of the Ares's Cabin member put out the fire.
I walked towards the Zeus's Cabin as I open my cabin's door as I began to take off my clothes as I made my way to my shower.
I turned on my shower as I began to take a nice hot shower as I thought about all that's been going on.
"I really hope Nico's gonna be okay. He been out for 5 weeks now."
"I also hope that will find Alex and Henry and that I'll be able to keep my missions on the low."
I sighed as I turned off the shower as I dried myself off as I just put on a pink t-shirt as I dried my hair as I crashed onto my bed.
I just looked up at the the big chandelier that hung above me as I took in a sigh as I began to close my eyes and go to sleep...
