After The Fact:If Calypso Wasn't The Only One

Sammy

As soon as the first part of my dream comes I know I'm gonna have a sappy emotional dream. Want me to introduce myself? Well then I guess I will. I am Sammy Perseus Valdez. Son of Andromeda and Leo Valdez. Little brother of Cassandra Valdez. Just a heads up if you call her Cassandra she will break your nose. Once a teacher called her that, the sinks exploded and she growled "My names Cassie.". Yes she's got my moms temper. I have my dads eyes, my dads well everything. I look exactly like him except for straight black hair instead of curly hair. Yeah so back to my dream. At first it was one of my earlier memories. I was four and Cassie was five. My mom had to go on a quest, she was only 25 and she had to retrieve her fathers trident. With Annabeth and Piper. So my earliest memory was of my parents arguing over it. "Leo! I have to go on this quest!" My mom said clearly frustrated. My dad sighed "But Andromeda your 25! Tell Chiron and your father to get someone else to do this quest! Someone who actually attends the camp!" "You heard what Rachel said! I have to go!" My mom said raising her voice. My dad walked up to my mom taking her hands into his. He leaned close to her face "I just don't want you to die. Cassie and Sammy, they need you," He leaned in almost touching his lips to hers "I need you." He kisses her quickly. Mom pulls back. "I know but baby, I need to go. But I will come back to you and the kids." Mom leans her head on dad chest as he holds her close. "I love you." my dad mutters. Then my dream fades into another scene. Wait, this isn't my life. A girl, maybe around 15, with cinnamon colored hair and almond eyes is standing at a creek near Bunker 9. Then I see a girl the same age maybe 16, wait the other girl is also 16. Wait! The second girl is my mom at 16! Woah! My mom was a hot teen! I'm not being creepy of course. My mom has long straight wind blown black hair, with a slightly upturned nose and bright sea green eyes. "Calypso you are a cold hearted snake! Who can't stand the fact that he chose me!" My mom yells at her "Andromeda the only cold hearted snake here is you. So you can back the Hades out of my business!" My mom growls. The water in the creek starts to rise "I may be a cold hearted snake, but Calypso you are scared little girl. Who couldn't get one, but FOUR guys to stay with you! Because you are unlovable." at that last word Calypso slaps my mom in the face. Then my dream fades and a new one pops up. Why can't I just wake up? The new dream is Aunt Annabeth, (A/N remember Annabeth and Percy is Sammy and Cassie's actually aunt and uncle) Piper and my mom at 25, back to back, weapons drawn. my mom sneers "We're not going down without a fight." I see what they're fighting. Medusa. "Oh but my dears, you don't have to fight." Medusa snarls. My mom hands Annabeth her shield. "Direct me.". Mom closes her eyes. "Left!" Annabeth calls as Medusa swipes. My mom rolls left and comes up. "Arch!" Piper calls. She swipes her sword in an arch and cuts off Medusa's head. She opens her eyes. "Woah.". Everyone laughs. My moms jaw drops. "Look." she points. I see a celestial bronze trident. "Oh my Gods." She runs and grabs it. "You two, go home tell them that I'm coming. I have to take this to my fathers palace. Alone." Then I have a new part to the dream. I remember this. I was sitting in Cassie's room playing with our Seven action figures. Yes there is action figures of The Seven. When I hear my dad say "Where is she?" "Leo she's fine.". Then someone bursts through the door and my mom says "Who's fine." Cassie and I look up and run to the front room. "Momma!!" We yell. "Hey kids!" She hugs us. Then I wake up. I walk to the living room. Cassie stifles a laugh. "What?" I say. My dad clears his throat "Sammy your, uh, shirt is on fire.". I scream. I take my shirt off and step on it. Cassie waves her hand. Suddenly I'm drenched with water. I look up. "You're gonna pay for this." "Oh am I?" She asks. I shrug and unsheath my dagger and she unsheaths her sword. "Both of you if your gonna fight, go outside!" My mom says. We run outside to the backyard. She jabs at my side and I jump out of the way. If your thinking wait... he's Leo's son. How can he fight? Well I got my moms ability. I throw a fire ball at her. She ducks and runs to the pool deck. I'm confused when she jumps in. She comes up riding a wave. "Wha-?" She sheaths her sword and pulls a dagger made of water from the pool. She throw it at me. I get hit in the leg. It doesn't hurt but in our duels if you get hit you lose. "Ha." Cassie says. I groan. "No fair you're where you're strongest!" "It was completely fair." She points out. We go back inside "What's for breakfast?" I ask my mom "Food." she replies. I raised my eyebrows at her. She smiles and points to the fridge "Pancakes." she says. "Blue?" I ask "Of course." she says. I grab five pancakes and heat them up. Microwave? Of course not! With my awesome fire powers of course! "So we are meeting with well everyone later today at the beach ok?" My dad says putting his arm on my moms shoulder. Cassie and I nod. "What do you guys want for dinner?" My mom asks "Chef Leo's tofu tacos!" Cassie and I say at the same time. "How much did he pay you?" "Why would I pay-" Cassie and I interrupt my dad by saying "Ten bucks!" My mom gives my dad a look like 'seriously?' Cassie and I laugh. As my mom pushes my dad playfully.
