Isabella's POV

"You did really well today," Percy said behind me as I watched the ocean.

"I honestly didn't think that I'd get to see this view again," I said with a sigh.

"I'm glad you're back, sis," Percy said, hugging me from behind.

"So am I," said a voice from behind us. I turned around. Then, I realized that it was Annabeth. She hugged me. "How'd you learn how to do that?"

"I guess it's in my blood," I said with a smirk. We heard the mess hall bell ring.

"We'd better go," Percy said as he took my hand. I stuck my tongue out at Annabeth. She just shook her head and laughed. We all went to the mess hall together.

After I'd sat down at the Poseidon table, I noticed a boy walk up to me. "Hey, Isabella," the boy said. I turned around. I realized that it was Nico. I stood up and glared at him.

"What?" I asked coldly.

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for the way I acted a couple days ago," Nico said, hanging his head. "And that I heard what you did today. That's pretty cool."

"Thanks," I say. "Thanks for the apology, Nico."

"Of course," he said as he started to walk away.

"Just get this through your thick skull," I call. Then, he stopped walking and turned towards me with an eyebrow raised. "If you ever mess with me again, you're dead meat. Is that clear?"

"Crystal," Nico said with a smirk. Then, he walked back to the Hades table. Then, Chiron comes into the room.

"Tonight, we honor Percy, Annabeth, Grover and especially Isabella. To the gods!" He announces as he raised his goblet.

"To the gods!" We all reply. Then, I lower my cup and think of grape juice. It appeared in my goblet. I looked at Percy and he smiled at me.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see a tan man leaning against the wall. We look at each other. He winks at me and I smile back. Somehow, I felt like I knew the man in a strange way. Then, I looked at Percy. Apparently, he saw the man, too, because he looked back at me and smiled. The rest of the night, we talk and laugh.

Then, we go back to our cabins. "Good night, little sister," Percy said as he tucked me in.

"Good night, big brother," I said with a smile. Then, we both go to sleep.
