Fostering Foster

My fault

'Stupid!' Was my first thought as soon as the cloaked guys left. 'I've fought monsters, battled giants, and stopped, like, a million wars. Not to mention I saved the world! And I let creepy dudes kidnap my sister!'

My heads were swarming with questions. Who is Keefe? Why'd Sophie say that some were dead? What was the circlet?...What's 'Swan Song'?

I don't know how long I stood there, beating myself with questions, unable to find answers. Then, Mom walked in.

"Percy!I'm Home!" She saw my face. "Perseus Jackson! What's wrong? Where's Sophie?"

"S-Sophie...s-she," I took a ragged breath...and told her everything.

Two hours later, all of my friends were at my house, trying to comfort me.

"Can't we go and find her?" Piper asked. I whirled to face her, my face heating up.
"NO!," I screamed, "Were you not paying attention? They said, 'If you follow us, I swear I'll do more than just hurt her'! Do you know what that means? They'll kill her!"

Piper backed up a step. "Woah, take a chill pill."

I sighed. "I just don't understand. Who are they? Sophie acted like she knew who they were." I let out an exasperated sigh, "And what in the world in Swan Song?!"

"Who wants to know?" A voice said from behind us. I turned to see a blonde boy with carefully styled hair-though it looked like a hand had ran through it a lot- and ice blue eyes.
