Prompt: "I'm not alone and neither are you"
Summary: Y/N first came to Camp with Annabeth, Thalia, Luke, and Grover. Their lives have all taken very different, winding paths, with many ups and downs, and after the betrayal of Luke, Y/N's first boyfriend, they decided to go far, far away from Camp Half-Blood for college. They come back regularly, but when they return for the winter break of their senior year, after the Battle of New York, they realize they might need to make a point of coming home a little more often.

I looked over my shoulder to find the cab driver still staring at me, a curious look on his face, so I gave him a cheery wave. He scowled back at me and then drove off, like a typical New Yorker.
I'd missed it here.
Camp Half-Blood had been like a home to me for years. I'd first arrived eight years ago with a group of other Half-Bloods and our Satyr, and over that time, a lot had changed.
Thalia, one of my best friends, had died and come back to life. Grover, my other best friend, became a member of the Council of Cloven Elders. Luke, my former friend and first boyfriend, had turned traitor only to give his life defeating Kronos. And Annabeth, my baby sister in everything but blood, had grown up into an incredible, beautiful, strong young woman.
I couldn't have been more proud of her.
As for me, I'd left Camp Half-Blood just before Luke had turned traitor, about four years ago now. Instead of staying around the Camp I'd basically grown up in, I'd left for college, deciding to go abroad and see the world after so many years in the same place, happy but afraid of the outside world. I'd come back last summer, to help fight the Battle of New York, only to leave again once the dust had settled for my senior year of college.
Now, I'd just gotten back for winter break. Camp Half-Blood had been my only family for a while now, so of course, I'd come back to spend it with them. Our normal protective bubble had let just the lightest dusting of snow in, and in the wake of the changes Percy, Annabeth's boyfriend, had called for after the Battle of New York, the Camp was livelier than I'd ever seen it in the middle of the winter.
I took one last beat to survey the scene in front of me, then started heading down the snow-covered hill to say hello to everyone. They'd known I was coming back for the holidays, but so far, no one had noticed my arrival.
As I got closer and closer to the Big House and the familiar (but newly expanded) ring of cabins, I started to get a little worried about why that might be. I could feel a tension in the air that had only ever meant something bad in my experience here, and as I got closer the tone of voices coming from the people rushing about sounded more urgent than excited.
"Hey!" I called, stopping the first camper I came across. I didn't recognize her, which felt a little strange, since I used to know everyone at Camp, especially those who stayed over the winter holidays. I pushed the thought out of my mind however as I noticed her worriedly looking behind her, like she had somewhere to be. "What's going on?"
"I don't know..." she started, giving me a bit of a suspicious look. I stared right back, and after a second, she apparently decided I probably wouldn't have been able to get into Camp if I'd been a threat. "I woke up and everyone was freaking out about something. One of my friends said they heard somebody's missing, but I don't know who."
My heart dropped into my stomach. We'd just survived a war. We did NOT need some new danger, especially not so soon.
"Where's Annabeth?" I demanded. "Or Grover, or Chiron?"
