"Is he okay?" I asked.

Lee nodded. "Yeah. He'll be completely fine. We just need to let him sleep."

I breathed out. "That's a relief. I wasn't doubting your guys' skills or anything but..."

"You're worried. We get it Perce." Michael lifted up his medic bag.

Rolling my eyes, I pushed the two out of the room. "I'm always worried about you guys. Now let him relax."

"Shouldn't we do that?" Lee asked. "I mean-"

I closed the door before he could finish that sentence.

"You know you'll probably get Hades for that later right?" Luke asked.

"Yeah. I know." I walked over to his bed before sitting.

Reaching over Luke took my hand and laced his fingers with mine.

"So....what are you going to do today? Cause I'm sure not letting you waste it staying in here with me."

Smiling I leaned over and kissed him. "I'm not wasting it."

He rolled his eyes. "Just go and train or something. We're supposed to be helping them here."

True true.

I pouted. "Fine. But I'm allowed to mother hen all I want."

Getting up, I left the room before he could argue against that.

"Uh, hey Perce?" Beck looked at me.

"What?"

"Leo he...he misses you. He even is making a device to try and find you."

Wait.

"He misses me? He was one of the people who-"

"Most of the senior campers know Dakota was lying. Leo actually realized it the night you left."

My mouth moved but no sound came out.

"You okay?"

I nodded, not trusting myself to get words out. You know considering what just happened.

The door opened. "Great you broke her." Zoë sighed before slapping me.

I shook my head. "Thanks."

"Now what did you do to break her Beck?" She glared.

"Nothing nothing. I just told her that a lot of campers miss her." He held up his hands. "I'm going to go now."

"Same. I'm going to go train some campers or something." I shrugged and exited the cabin.

After making sure I had my mask.

I'm not that stupid.

"Hey Omega!"

I groaned. What now? I've only been out of the cabin for three minutes.

"What?" I looked to my right and saw a partially on fire Leo Valdez.

"So Tide is part of the Army?" He questioned.

I nodded slightly confused. "Yes why?"

"She saved Harley. Can you please tell me where to find her so I can thank her?"

I hesitated for a moment.

I could tell him.

But no. He should have known before. He should have never believed Dakota.

"I'm sorry. She went back to our base planet earlier. But I will pass your thanks along."

His smile fell and he nodded sadly.

"Oh...okay. Thanks." He turned and walked away.

I felt bad. But I don't want anybody to know.

Only three people know my true identity outside of the Elite and Chaos.

Sighing I decided to clear my head a bit.

Gauging the amount of space in front of me I started running, flapping my wings ever so slightly.

Then I jumped.

"Watch it!"

I laughed as I flew over camp, slowly gaining altitude.

Having fun? Dad chuckled through the link.

I did this to clear my head. So you are so not helping.

I could practically sense the eye roll.

Fine. I'll leave you alone.

Who are you and what did you do with my father?

Ha ha ha, very funny.

I felt him leave my mind.

Sighing, I tucked my wings in and dove.

Right before I hit the ground I snapped my wings out, which slowed my descent.

Where am I you might be wondering.

I'm at a cemetery.

The cemetery where Mom and Paul are buried.

I tucked my wings under my cloak and walked through the rows, searching.

I don't know where they're buried. But I do know it's in this cemetery.

There.

I knelt in front of the grave.

"Hey Mom. Hey Paul. It's been a while hasn't it?"

Sighing I looked down. "I should have told you before I left. I should have told you what was going on. But I'm not just Poseidon's kid, Mom. I'm Chaos's."

Something wet ran down my face. When did I start crying?

"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I could have came back and visited. I could have sent a message to you. I'm so sorry." I sobbed.

Arms wrapped around me, as well as wings.

"I should have known you were going to come here." Dad mumbled.

I turned into his embrace.

"I should have stopped you Percy." He tightened his arms.

"I had to. I need to-"

"No you don't Percy! I know you and you would never visit a grave. Ever. They just remind you of the deaths."

He's right.

Normally I wouldn't.

But this is my mom.

"I never got a chance to say goodbye. I left and I never came back." More tears were falling down my face.

"Shh. It's okay. Shh." He kissed my head.

I buried my face in his shirt, collapsing into his arms.

Dad gently pulled me closer to him, whispering sweet nothings the whole time.

Slowly I stopped crying and simply nestled against him.

"You okay?"

I nodded. "Yeah."

He tensed up. "That's such a lie."

Pushing me away, he stared me in the eye. "You need to stop lying about this kinda stuff. We aren't going to hurt you. We love you."

"That's exactly what they all said."

Don't worry Percy, we're a family.

We won't treat your brother the same as you Perce. We're friends. Plus you're a whole lot cuter than him.

Dad's hands made their way to my sleeves and I tried to pull away.

"I know about it Percy. All of it." He gently pulled up my sleeves and stared at the scars.

"I'm not going to pretend to know why you do it. Or how I could help you. I don't." He lightly ran his thumbs over the lines.

"But I want you to be safe...So sleep baby...sleep."

My eyes flickered closed.

My last thought?

What are the mortals seeing?

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

And happy early Native American Heritage Appreciation Day.

I'm not Native American but we had to read an article thing yesterday so....

But I'm just trying to ignore my family right now so enjoy this chapter.
