Chapter 4: To Move Mountains For a Hug

(A/N: Sorry, but the pov will be switching a lot also not a lot of Leo x reader in this part...o_O)

Percy's pov

I came back from the quest, but the other 6 were no where to be seen. 

I ran into someone and I heard a grunt. "Move it Percy." 

I stood there in shock. Clarisse called me by name AND she didn't try to kill me. What was going on? I ran to the Big House and saw Chiron towards the back with Rachel and the rest of the seven. There was also another girl, but I couldn't see her.

I pushed my way to the front ready to make a dramatic entrance. "So what'd I miss" I said startling everyone. 

Annabeth pulled out her dagger and Jason pulled out his coin and flipped it. Annabeth took one look at me and judo flipped me, but pulled me into a hug. "How was the quest?" She asked.

"It was fine, but you're kind of crushing me" I breathed.

She laughed and let me go. I looked behind my girlfriend and I saw the rest of the 7 and a girl and Connor Stoll deep in conversation. The girl's back was toward me so I couldn't see her face, but it looked like she was arguring. Connor's face was red with anger. 

"Um who is that and how did she manage to make Connor mad?" I asked.

The girl whipped around. "None of your business" she snapped.

She looked like she was glowing red, so she must have been a daughter of Ares, but she was pretty. 

She took in my features and recognition spread over her face.

"P-Percy?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Yes and who are you?"

"I-I'm y-y/n Jacksom"

My heart dropped. It had to be a coincidence right? But I knew that in this world there were no such things as a coincidence, so she must be lying. I had no siblings.

I was about to pull out Riptide but then a bright light shone and a woman was there. She was beautiful, but extremely pale. She had black eyes and and blonde hair which was in a high ponytail, she also had a dark, sleeveless gown. 

"Hecate" Hazel breathed.

"Hello demigods" The goddess of magic said and everyone bowed. After everyone got up Hecate walked over to the girl who claimed to be a Jackson. 

"Y/n Jackson. So we finally meet in person"

"I-it was you" y/n's eyes widened.

"Yes little demigod, I'm the one who erased your brother's memories" Hecate replied cooly. 

"Well can you undo it?" y/n said, angered. Most kids backed up from her, knowing not to anger a goddess. 

Hecate's features softened and she smiled. "Only you can do that. I have blessed you with many talents and this is one of them"

I was so confused. Who was her brother and what did Hecate mean by 'blessed'?

The two looked at each other and it seemed like they were talking.....but they weren't moving there mouths. 

They seemed like they were having a silent argument. After 5 minutes the goddess and y/n turned to us. 

"Y/n knows what must be done. It's easy, but obstacles will be in her way." And with that a light shone and she was gone by the time we all opened our eyes.

Your pov

When we opened our eyes the goddess that had taken my brother's memories of me away, was gone. I turned to give Percy a hug, afterall I hadn't seen him in 7 years, but everything turned dark.

"G-guys?" No answer. 

This is what Hecate meant by obstacles. This was all an illusion. I closed my eyes and willed the maze to turn to my brother. It obliged easily. I continued running straight and I realized the temperatures had dropped. I contemplated shadow-traveling, but I had a feeling that it wouldn't work. I then saw a huge mountain, which also had to be an illusion, but how was I supposed to move it?

I closed my eyes and thought about all the times my mother made cookies for Percy and I and all the other good times I've had with my family.

There was a new found determination in my body. I willed the mountain to move and there was Percy. "PERCY!" I ran towards him and hugged him.

Percy's pov

"PERCY!" Y/n said loudly and ran towards me. I pulled out Riptide, but then she hugged me. I could feel memories return. The first time y/n and I went swimming together, the first time we rode our bikes. I also saw her whole life flash before my eyes. Getting bullied by 3 girls, getting abused by her foster parents, the loathing she had for Will Solace and her feelings for Connor and Leo. I remembered my sister.

Leo's pov

I watched in awe as Percy hugged y/n back, but of course Frank had to ruin the moment. "Wait is this what the prohecy meant by reunion?"

Percy pulled away. "What prohecy?" He turned to Chiron who looked queasy. 

"Percy there was another prophecy...about y/n" Annabeth said softly.

Percy paled and stepped in front of his twin protectively. "What was it?"

Annabeth recited the prohecy and Connor and y/n glared at each other. Before I was able to volunteer for the quest earlier, Connor had grabbed y/n's hand. I felt jealous, but pushed it away. I couldn't be falling for y/n. I was devoted to Calypso.

"I just found my sister I'm not loosing her again."

The argemuent went on between Annabeth and Percy until Y/n intervened. "Percy stop. Just stop please" she said softly. 

"W-what do you mean?" Percy said.

"You're acting like my brother, but you basically just met me. Even with some of your memories returned you still don't know me, so don't act all over-protective now. Y-you don't-No, you CAN'T love me. I mean how could you if you don't know me?" And with that she ran outside.

(A/N: Sorry that there wasn't a lot of Leo, but next chapter will have much of Bad Boy Supreme (;  <---- what is that? lol. Well bye for now!!!)
