Percy Jackson's Twin *ON HIATUS*

Birthdays

This is the one-shot that really caused me to want to write this story. At like 3 am I came up with this because I was reading a story about Percy's sister and I was thinking about it so...

This will also include the fact that Nico knows, it's crucial to the story that the whole Nico Finding Out chapter happened. Trust me. Now onto the story!!!

*______________________________________________________*

Percy's POV

          It is August 18th today. It is my birthday today. My 18th. But it isn't only mine. It is also Cassiopeia's. The other half of me. The one I care about most. My twin.

          She would have dragged me out of the Poseidon cabin and made me do whatever you can do once you are an adult, and to be honest, probably would've done something illegal so she would be able to experience prison as well. And I would've gone along with it just to make her happy. I want to sit and mope for the entire day but I knew that Pia wouldn't want that and to be honest, the Seven and everybody else would notice and they would pry. Only Nico knows and I want it to stay that way. I don't want anymore sorrys, and I'm sorry for your losses. It's pointless and meaningless.

          Dragging myself out of bed I grabbed some most-likely clean clothes from the floor of my cabin and stumbled into the bathroom (I know that CHB has community bathrooms but whatever.) I turned on the faucet and directed the water to wet my hair so that it would be semi-tamed later. After brushing my teeth I ran my hand through my wet hair, drying it. I walked out of the bathroom just in time for I heard a knock at the door.

          "Happy Birthday Seaweed Brain! Come out for breakfast!" I heard Annabeth say through the door.

          "Coming Wise Girl." I quickly bent down and felt under my bed for the box that had Pia's stuff in it just to let her know that I was there. I slipped on some clothes on my bed and sprawled on my floor, causing my hand to be pushed all the way to the back of my bunk. I felt something there so I pulled it out.

          It was one of Pia's rings that I had lost last month. I reached to put it back in my bedside drawer but then decided just to string it onto my necklace. Reattaching my camp necklace I headed outside, fingering Cassiopeia's ring as I walked to the dining pavilion. Coming closer I saw blue streamers hanging from the posts around the tables.

          "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" was yelled as everybody came up to me. I smiled and stopped twisting the ring and instead held it.

          "This is for you as well Pia, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you." I thought. Annabeth came up to me and kissed me, and I put my arms around her, causing the hold I had on the ring to disappear.

          "Ewwww Hunter of Artemis here, no PDA please!" A very familiar voice said. I pulled away from Annabeth to face Thalia.

          "Thals! What are you doing here cuz?"

          "I can't miss your dam birthday now, can I? I got permission from Artie to come here since she approves of you, and anyways, it's your 18th!" She then came up and hugged me before sitting down. I sat at the Poseidon table and ate breakfast. The second I was done I was pulled to my feet by Piper.

          "What do you need Pipes?" I asked. But I still had some food in my mouth so it sounded a bit more like "Whaa o ew eed Ipes?" She got the gist of it though by the way she rolled her eyes.

          "It's a surprise Kelp Head." I followed her obediently but she still pulled me along by the arm. Coming to the beach, she stopped suddenly, causing me to have to shove my heels in the sand so as to not run into her.
