Ivy walked into camp, memories washing over her. It had been months since she had been here, and she was so happy to be back. She loved this place, and had hated leaving it in the first place.
About a month before her "death", she had found out a few certain monsters were following her, determined to kill her. They had threatened to hurt everyone she cared about if she resisted. Rachel, Jacob, everyone. Knowing she couldn't let it happen, she faked her death in order to protect them. It had hurt doing it to them, but she had had no choice. She pretended to die, and after Loreli, Terry, and Rachel had walked off, all upset, she had slipped out of camp, never to return. They would just assume her body had been destroyed, or something like that.
She had hunted down the monsters, determined to kill every one of them. For months she had fought, and avoided them, trying to stay alive. She had thought she would never be able to return to camp. But here she was, all the monsters dead. It was safe to come back, and Ivy Meer had returned home.
They thought she was dead, but she was soon about to give them the shock of their lives. She walked through camp, towards the Athena cabin. "Rachel, Jacob? Anyone here?" She called.

I was sitting in the library, but, oddly enough, I wasn't reading. I was writing. What was I writing? Well, I have this odd habit.
I write to Ivy.
I write letters to her, talking about stuff that happens, things I wish I could tell her, how much I miss her. Of course, I could never actually send them, but it still made me feel better.
Then I heard her voice, calling, " Rachel? Jacob? Anyone here?" I would've thought I was hallucinating or dreaming, if it wasn't so... real. I ventured out of the library, then i saw her, standing at the door. "Ivy?" I questioned hesitantly, still disbeileving.
(This is before the Gians took over, right?)

(I guess. I have no idea what's happened since I've been gone)
Ivy smiled a little as Rachel appeared. "Yeah, it's me. I'm not dead. I never was. It's a long story, but basically, I found out this certain group of monsters was following me, determined to kill me." She wandered in a little, glancing over at her old bed. She was a little suprised to find it was still empty, looking as if no one had ever used it after her. "I avoided them, stayed in camp. But they threatend to hurt everyone I cared about if I didn't leave. You, Jacob. So I left. I couldn't put you guys in danger, so I faked my death, and left camp. I never thought I'd be able to return.
I've spent the past several months, hunting them down. I killed them one by one, and they're all dead now. It was safe to return, so I made my way back. I didn't think I'd ever see you or anyone else again. I just gave up on the hope that I could have my life back. But after the last monster died, I realized I could. And here I am."

I was still shocked. "You're back." I repeated. Then, without realizing what I was doing, I went over and hugged her.

Ivy nodded. "I'm back." She hugged Rachel tightly, a feeling of overwhelming happiness washing over her.

"I know, I know. I hated doing it, but I didn't have a choice. I couldn't let them hurt you guys. It killed me to hurt you like that, but I didn't see any other option. I'm so sorry." Ivy whispered.

I pulled back, now grinning hugely. "But it's great! You're back! Now we can catch up on all the stuff you missed out on!" I sat on my bed and began, "Well, to name a few things that happened... We had a major food fight, Jacob finally admitted his feelings for Ari, and we got a new Athena kid! Her name is Luner. She'll probably be here soon."

Ivy smiled and nodded. She sat down on the bed, listening to Rachel catch her up. "Jacob has a girlfriend, huh? And a new sibling? Can't wait to meet her then. Oh, and who did my sword go to? Not that I want it back, I have a new one, I'm just curious." She patted her new sword, an owl on the hilt. "Gift from Mom. Guess she decided I needed a little help."

"Oh yeah! We gave it to Luner, hope you don't mind. When shhe first tried it out, it was a perfect fit! You wouldn't believe it!" Then, I mentally slapped myself. "Oh yeah, how did I forget the most exciting part? WE WENT TO FREAKING PARIS!" I screamed excitedly.

"Well I'm glad it was put to good use." Ivy's eyes widened. "Paris? No way! Okay, now I'm jealous. While I got to stalk through a busy city keeping an eye out for monsters, you guys got to go to Paris! How did you get to go?"

"Camp got enough money through the strawberries." I said, eyes shining. "The view from the eiffel tower was amazing!" I exclaimed, then pressed my lips together to prevent myself from talking. I felt bad Ivy hadn't been there.

"It must have been. Well, next time we take another trip, I'll be sure to go along. But hey, I had some adventures myself. Went all over the country. Though it wasn't quite as exciting on my own, and knowing the reason I was gone." Ivy replied.

"That must've sucked," I mentioned sympathetically.

She shrugged. "It wasn't too bad. The monsters didn't know what hit them."

I grinned. "That's 'cause you're the 'Invincible Ivy'! I said dramaitcally. "Nothing and nobody dares stop her!"

She laughed. "I know right! They chose the wrong demigod to mess with!" Ivy couldn't remember the last time she had laughed like this. She had been so focused on destroying the monsters, she hadn't had time for anything else. She was just so happy to be back.

My eyes once again became slightly unfocused. "I wonder why they went after you in particular, though." I murmered thoughtfully.

Ivy shrugged. "I have no idea. That's the most puzzling thing. I mean, why me? I don't have any unusual powers, or am a child of the big three, or anything like that. I'd like to do a little searching, and see if I can find out why. There's got to be a reason, and I'm more than a little curious as to what it is."
