Annabeth
"They can't be trusted!" Octavian squealed at Reyna.
"Octavian..." Reyna started in an annoyed tone- He shut up at that. I was practically sitting in Percy's lap, with his arms around me. ever since we got back from Tartarus we were closer together. We've barley been apart since then, except for when I was in California for the summer which was the worst summer of my life. My step mom still hated me and with my dads desperate attempts to get us to get along, I had to spend way too much time with her than I would like. to top it all off I slept a maximum of 10 hours in 2 months because I woke up screaming from nightmares without percy next to me, there was no one there to calm me down. my dad tries but there is nothing he could do. so let's just say my summer consisted of energy drinks and calls to percy at 1:00am. Another reason that my dad couldn't keep me hostage because he didn't get much more sleep than I did. Sleep is our best friend.
"It doesn't matter where they came from, it just matters that they are protected from the monsters" Hazel put in.
"That is a great factor, but it's not like we have the room." Reyna said frustrated.
"Our Hermes cabin can't hold another camper." Percy explained "they have no where else to go."
"And it's not like we can't build more cohorts. we are getting full anyway" frank continued "even the 5th cohort is one bunk less than full, building more won't hurt anyone."
"Then it is settled. Vulcan descendants will start construction after mid-day meal." Reyna adjourned the meeting.
"One other thing," percy added "Annabeth and I encountered a hellhound pup in New York. when we killed it, it didn't explode into golden dust, it just melted."
"We have found one like that too! Frank and I were guarding the walls and when a pup attacked us, we killed it and it oozed golden and just dissolved into the ground." Hazel said.
"I did some more research and apparently it's been happening all over. it is a new breed of hellhound. They can be killed the same way they just die differently."
"I think that is all we need. You can go home now" Reyna said
Percy and I left with his arm around my shoulder and Octavian screaming in the background.
