Percy POV

" I. .. prefer not. At least not today. " I whispered looking straight into Will's eyes. His eyes twinkled and he smiled an understanding smile.

Annabeth huffed and turned to leave. Piper looked at me apologetically and turned too, tugging Jason's shirt.

I saw Jake Mason approach us and I waved. "Hey Jake! "I called.

Will drop ed his fork and turned very very fast to Jake. "Heeey Jake!"

I smirked. "So. Wanna sit with us?" He smiled and nodded. He sat next to Will who looked at him and smiled. Gods, he was glowing.

" I wanted to ask what happened to you. You all look stunning by the way." He said that but boy he was looking at Will.

"Oh that's funny, Leo and I went to visit Rachel and after some time she remembered that she has body paint. We went wild and this happened." I answered.

"What about Will?"

"Well," Will started. "I wanted to ask Rachel to join us at dinner. For bonding time. And" he chuckled."These two decided we had enough time for me too."

"Hey, we were right!" Whined Leo.

"Yes, you were." Said Rachel.

The rest of the meal went quietly. More than a few creepy gazes directed towards me but that's all. We parted and I made my way to my Cabin and opened the door. Inside were some letters, I picked them up and closed the door. I plopped down onto the bed and started opening them.

My eyes widened as I read more and more of the contents of the letter. I felt tears blurring my vision. I finished reading the first letter. I picked up the next. It was very similar, about how is an abomination to be able to get pregnant as a male and how I should be dead, or that I don't deserve the title of The Saviour of Olympus. I couldn't stop myself from reading them. Not even my dyslexia stoped me. And that's how I fell asleep, clutching papers full of hateful words and crying.

I woke up in the middle of the night, went to the bathroom, collected the letter and stocked them carefully in a drawer. I limped to the bed and fell face first in the pillow trying to get more sleep.

The next day wasn't very different from the other except that Piper came alone and I told her she can sit with us. Will sat with his siblings. Leo still glued to me.

The camp seemed a bit shocked by me and I decided that I should stay at mom's for a a week. I thought it was a good idea. Oh how wrong I was...

I IM-ed mom and Paul. She told me that she was glad I was staying over, but I think the reason behind that I'd that I could help with Andy. I made my way to the Big House and entered.

Chiron was playing cards with Mr. D.

"Chiron? Can we talk please? "I asked.

Mr. D looked at me with distaste and rolled his eyes. Chiron smiled at me.

"Sure, Percy. Tell me." He said softly.

I leaned against the wall behind me and tugged the edges of my hood so it covered my blush better. " Um... I... I was wondering if I'm allowed to... visit mom?"

" Not to be rude, but didn't you visit her yesterday?" Asked a confused Chiron. I scratched the back of my head.

"Well yeah, I did. But the camp found out .... that... " I said the word a bit harsh." .... about me and I figured I would better leave camp for a few days. "

"Okay. Is there anything else? Or do you want someone to go with you?" he asked.

"No. I'm good. " I assured him.

With that I left The Big House and headed towards the Apollo Cabin. I knocked once and *thank Apollo* Will answered.

" Yo, Percy!" He said as greeting.

"Hey" he opened the door so I could enter.

"So what brings you in our humble Cabin at ..." he glanced at the sky "... Seven Forty - eight in the morning? "

" How did you do that?" I asked in awe.

"The perks of being a child of the Sun. You didn't answer my question. Why are here so early?" He replied.

"Oh, right! So you know how the Camp is a bit ... shocked about me." I started and he nodded in agreement. "Well I think I should let them cool down a bit do I'm staying at mom's for a week."

"Ahaa. That cool."

"Yeah... Anyway I wanted you to tell Leo this too." I added.

"Okay. But why didn't you tell him personally? "

" Because he is most likely sleeping and I don't wanna bother him. But I knew you should be awake so I came to you." I told him. "Does that make sense? "

" Yup. Take care Perce! And IM us everyday, okay?" He said in a motherly tone.

"Yes, mom." He chuckled and in the heat of the moment I enveloped him in a hug. He hugged me back and grinned widely.

"Bye Percy!" We broke apart and I started walking.

"Bye Will! See you in a week!" I waved at him as I departed.

I ran back to my Cabin and grabbed a backpack. I met Argus at Thalia ' s Tree and gave a pet to Peleus. He puffed some smoke and pushed against my hand. I smiled and ran to the car. Argus drove me to mom's house and I thanked him. He smiled and left.
