Meeting the Greeks

Understanding My Family

Percy's POV

I run my hands through my hair fustrated, and start walking back and forth. My mom is still there and I can tell she's worried.

"Mom I just can't believe you never told me. This changes so much." I say without even looking at her in the eyes.

"Percy, baby look at me," I raise my face reluctantly at her, "Percy, I don't love you any less. I know I should have told you. But I know you Percy, I know you. If I had told you, you would have been restless about it. Not only that, but you have had so much quests and so much danger in your life. If you had knwon about your sister it would have been much more dangerous for the both of you. Believe me, it was hard not ot tell you, I haven't told Paul either. Percy, I'm sorry, but this was hard on me, and also on your father, and he loves the noth of you dearly."

All those words stabbed me in the heart, but after a while I understood. I understood the whole situation. I was mad at my Mom for not telling me, but I get that it wasn't possible for her not to tell me. I also felt regret for how rude I acted towards, X. I realized that it's more hard on her, she barely got here and she already has a million problems, I'll have to talk to her later. 

"Mom, I get it. I really get and I'm sorry for acting like this. I love you so much Mom. Don't worry about X, I'll talk to her later." 

"I love you too Percy, be safe, and take care of your sister."  With that I blurred the image and waved goodbye. 

As I was walking out of the Big House the first person to come up to me was Annabeth.

"Percy what happened? Everything okay, you okay?" she asked in an extremely concerned voice.

"Ananbeth, um, well, X is my sister."

I could feel her surprise because she shifted her body in front of me. 

"What? Percy, i don't know what to say. How do you feel about it?"

"Well, it changes some things, but I get that my mom did it for our protection. Well I have a new roomate, I guess..." trying to sound excited, but failing miserably at it. 

"Percy just give it time, maybe it'll get better." She gives a small smile and a peck on my lips. 

I then hug her back, putting my chin on her shoulder, and breathing in her sublime aroma. I just love Annabeth so much. We've been seperated for more than 7 months, since the whole Hera thing. Long story short, Hera, Goddess of Marriage and Queen of Olympus, made this plan that seperated me form Camp Half-Blood and sended me to Camp Jupiter so Romans and Greeks could fight together to save Olympus and well, the world. Yes I have actually said the world, because the Gods run the world, America is the center of the westerm civilazation so that's why the Gods settled here. Geae,Goddess of the Eartg, wants to restart the world into an old and horrible civilazation. So here we are, Greeks and Romans struggling to get along, and trying to save the world.

I wish I would have met X earlier, I might not be as anxious and would have understood her better, and not have pushed her away. As I am deep in thought, Annabeth releases from my arms and tells me, "You should go talk to her Seawed brain!" She smiles widely this time, and kisses my lips. I just smile at her and go look for X.

I see X sitting down at the edge of the a dock, and run over to her. She has enough time to turn around, trip me and get my hands behind my back. 

"What do you think your  doing Jackson?"

"I could ask you the same thing. Well I was going to REASONABLY talk to you, but I guess that's over."

X released me and turned to me with her arms crossed. 

"K, so talk."

I grit my teeth because of her attitude, but manage to utter my words. "I'd appreciate of you weren't acting like this."

"Yeah, and I would have appreciated you not judging me, before you even KNEW ANYTHING about me. So I guess were both dissappointed."

I get what she's getting at and come up with a solution. "Okay then, can we start over?"

"Mkay."

"Hi my name's Percy." I say with a wide smile, but X's suspects it's probably fake.

"Hi, X." She shakes my hand and gives me a small smile. 

"Even though we just met," I raise my eyebrows, "I just want to say that I'm sorry if I offended you, and I really wish to be friends, or brother and sister?" I give her a real actual smile. She seems to process this slowly and she just smiles back and nods. The only words she manages to say are. 

"Thanks Percy." 

There's an awkard silence but X breaks it. 

"So tell me everything you can tell me about this Greek/Roman world you can tell me about. Oh and if it's not too much to ask, of um you---our father." 

I just walk with X along the shore of Camp Half-Blood's lake, and explain to her everythign that I know. She doesn't really talk, until the end of the conversation when I'm talking about Dad. 

"Sorry the Gods locked out on you guys. Oh and Percy, I'm sorry too, for being rude and disrespectful to you, when I barely know you too." She gives me a sheepish smile and I hug her. She's startled by the hug but she patts my back awkardly. 

"Hey it's getting late we better go to our dorm." 

She has a confused look on her face but then says, "Oh yeah same siblings same cabin. Is ours cool?" 

I just smile and tell her to run so she can see it already because the cabin is completely amazing.
