"You really have to come, Mom?" I heard for the fourth time since we arrived to school that Friday "Miss Katie would never allow something to happen to us..."

"Sweetie, I know is kind of embarrassing that I'm at the camping trip, but I promise you that you'd not notice me..." I promised to him. I saw Austin mumbling under his breath by the rear-view mirror and I chuckled softly. Obviously that no ten-year-old want their mother in a camping trip. He'd rather have his father but the bastard hasn't even called in the past three months, so I'm going with Austin.

"Would you at least promise me that you'd not embarrass me in front of my friends?"

"Sweetie, I'd not embarrass you... And if I do so without noticing, you have my permission to ignore me, alright?" Austin nodded, not very convinced. When we finally arrived to the school, there were several parents leaving their kids and driving away. That's not good parenting. It's Friday night, what's the hurry?

"There's Miss Katie, mom" Austin pointed out to a woman that was surrounded by kids, while we got our stuff out of the car. I watched her as we walked, she was young and athletic, with brown hair and tan skin. She was wearing an old pair of jeans and a very tattered orange shirt that, in some point, had some words on its front "Miss Katie!" Austin rushed to her, smiling. The woman turned to him and could see very bright eyes.

"Austin, glad you could make it!" she greeted him, with a smile, before her eyes set on me "And she must your mom, right?"

"She wants to come with us!" Austin blurted out, obviously not happy with the idea. Miss Katie simply chuckled and pulled her hand out to me.

"Well, I'm delighted to have you on board, Mrs-"

"Miss Decan, please... Or you can call me Jasmine" I shook her hand, it was hard not to be infected by her exciment.

"Same with me..." she agreed, before turning to the kids "Alright, gather everyone so I can have a few words with you all..." She didn't finish the sentence when the kids rushed to get their classmates around "They surprise me sometimes..."

"Austin's been talking about this trip for months... I kind of used it as punishment when he became hyperactive..." I confessed to her, making her nod.

"Don't worry, I used it several times to break fights. You won't be any better than me..." Soon, the kids were around us, waiting in silence and gripping their stuff tight "Alright, kids... As you know, we'll be going camping this weekend, coming back at Sunday afternoon. An advice of mine would be to keep your phones shut to save battery and to call home, because it's very hard to get either signal or a charging station. And, unfortunately for you, the only one is reserved for the adults..." Several kids looked at their phones and immediately turned them off, no one taking offense by that last comment.

"What about showers and stuff?" a girl had her hand raised and asked.

"Don't worry about that, we'll have showers, though we do need to take turns for that, alright?" Everyone nodded, listening "The goal of this trip is for you to know you can enjoy without technology, but I will allow the occasional photo of the environment-"

"Are we having campfire?"

"Well, Dylan-"

"Wouldn't be a camping trip without camfire!" A male voice replied to the question, as he appeared from behind us. Two men, one younger than the other, walked to us, ready for the trip as well. The taller one was built and it was obvious he was my age, because his beard gave it away. He had gorgeous sea eyes and an untamed raven hair. Even his casual dressing fitted him.

The younger one was blonde and gave away fifteen, sixteen years. He was blonde in comparison to the man next to him, but he was built as well. Unfortunately for him, I don't like young kids.

"You're late" Katie scolded him, but the older one didn't seem to mind.

"I was trying to help Annabeth putting the kids to sleep before we leave..." he excused himself. I didn't care who was Anna-girl, but I knew I had to spent the weekend with this eye candy, I'd had said 'yes' longer ago! "And Luke here couldn't find his swim-trucks..."

"Not my fault Mom reorganizes the house every spring..." the guy complained, but hugged and kisses Katie's cheek, just like the other guy did. I didn't mind, I have the whole weekend...

"Guys, these are Percy and his son, Luke" Damn, he has a son... Well, I have one too, so? "Percy would be our driver and swimming instructor for the weeked-"

"Don't forget I'll teach marine biology too, if anyone is interested..."

"Like fish and stuff!?" a boy questioned and he received a nod as answer "Cool!!"

"I know! And we'll have time for all this and more if we get into the bus, right now-" The kids rushed to the bus, leaving their heavy stuff by the side of the bus and their important with them. Katie blinked and groaned "I need to stop saying that..."

"I wished I was in your class when I had their age, Aunt Katie..." the young one, Luke chuckled, earning a mess with the hair gesture. Luke rushed into the bus and I couldn't help to look after him.

"Will he be alright? After all, he's not that older than them..." Percy chuckled and nodded.

"With two younger siblings at home and myself, the one you should be wondering who does it is my wife!" Obviously, it was a joke, because Katie laughed with him, before following the teen inside the bus. I stood there a few seconds before following.

Why the good ones are always married? That or gay, which makes me feel even worst...

Nevermind, I'll use this trip to clear my mind and spending time with Austin...

Just hope he doesn't hate me afterwards...

Hello, guys

First of all, i want to apologize for not posting last Sunday. You see, last Sunday was my grandfather's birthday and it was held at home, so I was greeting guests all day. By the time the party ended, I had to clean up all the mess and I was tired. I know it's not excuse, but it's the truth.

Also, since Monday midday till this morning I was without power. And no power means no wifi nor electricity. Which is why I'm posting today.

I'll be posting today 3 chapters of Mortals: Meet... the In-Laws (had it a little forgotten!), 1 chapter of Percy Jackson, son of Chaos and the final 7 chapters of Mortals: Meet... 2 (last chapter will have its own emotional goodbye note).

I remind you that you have time till next Wednesday to vote on my next story, here or in my in Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pg/SilverHuntresses/posts (your choice).

Also, I want to let you know that I'll update my Quotev.com and Penana sites (I have them a little forgotten). Once I do, I'll post a post (;p) with all my sites so you can check them out.

Signing out!
xoxo, SilverHuntresses
