Chapter 25
Once we got on land I thanked the Hippocampi.
"Show me Porkchop."
'Yea, boss? Need a ride, where are you?'
"New York Bay. And bring Keegan Underwood or Grover Underwood." The screen went back to the ring. "It will be a bit before the Pegasi get here. We need hoodies to hide our identities."
We walked to a store and bought hoodies. Once the Pegasi got here, I explained to Grover what happened. He hugged Bianca.
"Well then. I say we need to get back." Then we all got on the Pegasi. It was a 15 minute fly to Camp. We had the Pegasi drop us off at the base of Half-Blood Hill. "So the story is that I was looking for Half-Bloods and came across you two and your aunt." Grover said for the tenth time.
"Yes. But once we get there I need to talk to my mum and Chiron. Let's go and Es and Bianca put your hoods up." We did and walked up the hill. I sensed Hell-Hounds coming so I mind messaged them. 'Don't even think about it.'
'Yes Alpha.' Then I felt the presents go weak.
Once we crossed I heard Grover whisper, "I, Grover Underwood let Esperanza Valdez cross into Camp Demigods." Then we walked down to the Big House.
"Hello Grover. Are these new Demigods?"
"No. May we speak to you inside?" Chiron walked into the Big House and we followed him.
"Tell the story from the beginning." So I did. I showed him the gem mark and the SPQR symbol. "Grover can you please go and get Ms. Zenais please." Grover left.
"So you need a male name... How about Zachery?"
"Sure." Then my mom walked in. I got scared and turned into a Hell-Hound puppy.
"Zoe?" I ran over and jumped into my mom's arms and licked her. "Stop it. Change back into a human now." I jumped down and turned back into a human.
"Mum don't freak but, I'm a boy now. It is because of the gender bender gem. And my new name is Zachery. And this is your cousin Bianca and our great great aunt Esperanza."
"Nice to meet you. Chiron told me that this might happen. I need to go think about somethings. I will see you later." She kissed my forehead and then left.
"I would say let's start the tour so it seems that you are new." Chiron did the tour. As we walked I read peoples minds and saw that there is a pair of foot prints but no maker. I looked at Chiron and he got the message. "Annabeth what are you doing here?"
A figure shimmered next to Bianca.
"I'm sorry, Chiron. I was just curious."
'Who is she?' I signed.
"I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." She extended her hand and I shook it. 'I wonder who is under the hoodies.'
'Chiron please continue with the lovely tour.' I signed.
"You may leave Annabeth." She nods and walks away.
'May we talk to Lady Hestia?' I mind messaged to Chiron. He nodded. We sat down near the hearth.
"Greetings. I am Hestia." I waved.
"I am Bianca. This is Esperanza and Zac." I started to fidget with my rings and watch.
"Zoe?" (While I was at camp I became friends with Lady Hestia.)
"How do you know?!"
"Your fidgeting. And I can sense the hell-hound." I got out a few brownies and threw them into the hearth.
"To the gods, dad, and the Last Olympian Lady Hestia." Then I saw Lady Hestia glow a fire red.
"Thank you Zac Zenais. You may use my cabin." We all bowed then started to head towards the big house. I felt something fly towards my head and caught it. I looked at who threw it.
They were pointing at each other. Stolls. I threw the pink paint balloon at them then grabbed Bianca's and Es' hands and ran to the Big House. Once we got to the Big House Bianca smacked the back of my head. Then I felt a heat source near us.
'Leo is here some where close by.' I mind messaged Es. "Leo! Get to the Big house now!" I yelled as Coach Hedge. He ran to the Big House. We he realized that he wasn't there Es hugged him.
"Who are-" Then Es took her hood off. "Mama?!"
"Si. You have grown." They hugged for a while. "I need to talk to mi hijo, por favor." I nod.
'Do you want me to get Nico?' I mind messaged.
"Not yet. I'm not ready. Chiron we will be staying in Hestia's cabin." She told him. He nodded and handed us our activities.
