Percy Jackson's Twin Sister

We accidentally exploded the bathroom

" you may not realize it, but great powers are at work in your life. The myths you call  the Greek gods are very real, and very much alive. They always have been, and always will be," say Chiron.

"Do those horses have wings?!" I asks.

I've always been fascinated with horses. They are beautiful majestic creatures but I've just never gotten to see a whole lot of them being at boarding schools my whole life.

Chiron moves on and doesn't answer my question.

" Olympus will always be around as well. Not Mount Olympus, mind you, which is in Greece, but the palace of Olympus. The gathering place of the gods," says Chiron.

" is there lava coming out of that climbing wall?" Asks Percy.

He doesn't answer that question either.

" you see the gods and Olympus move with the heart of Western civilization. They began in Greece then moved to Rome. For the past century they've been here, in America. You might say that the guards are the source of the west. Or at least bound so tightly to it that they couldn't possibly fade, not unless all of Western civilization were obliterated," says Chiron.

"Are you really...?" I say.

" The Chiron from the stories? Trainer of Hercules and all that? Yes I am Phoebe," says Chiron.

" I guess this is what you meant when you said what I learned in your class was "vitally important," says Percy.

" so if the gods and Olympus are real, then does that mean that the underworld is real, too? That people who die aren't really...." I say trailing off.

" yes child. There is a place for spirits go after death but until we know more, I would urge you to put that thought out of your mind," says Chiron.

" what do you mean until we-?" Percy starts.

" oh, Annabeth, right on schedule. I know you're busy preparing for Friday's game, but would you mind taking our newest arrivals to cabin 11? I have another engagement.  I'll see you at the evening meal, kids," say Chiron.

"Follow me," Anabeth says smuggly. I don't know why she seemed nice when u talked to her earlier.

" look, I'm sorry. I don't even know what I'm doing here. All I know is me and my sister killed some bull guy-" my starts. Annabeth quickly cuts him off.

" monsters don't die! You can dispel them for a while, maybe even a whole lifetime if you catch a break, but eventually they will reform," she says.

" geez, take it easy you're acting like I did something wrong," my brother says.

" every kid in this camp wishes that had your chance to fight. It's what we train for. You don't know how lucky you are," snaps annabeth.

I felt so awkward and out of place in this conversation. I'm trailing behind Percy as Annabeth is storming through camp pointing out different landmarks.

" Lucky, right. As if you know anything about what it's like to be me," say Percy.

I feel like he just wants to make her angrier.

" no? You move schools a lot. Probably got kicked out of most of them. Plus, you've been diagnosed with dyslexia, and maybe ADHD, too. Taken together, they're almost a sure sign,"

"Who told you-" I start.

" Reading English gives you fits because your brain is hardwired for ancient Greek. The hyperactivity? That's your battlefield instincts kicking in. No regular human could charge a monster especially Mr. moo and survive. Face it you're one of us. Your half blood," says Anabeth.

" look at the newbies," I hear someone yell.

I turn to find a pretty tall woman with brown hair hanging down her shoulders. She looked incredibly angry for some reason. What is it with this place and angry females.

" Clarisse why don't you go polish your spear or something?" Asks annabeth.

" sure thing, miss princess. Then I'll run you through with it. Who's the new  runts?" Asks Clarisse.

" Percy Phoebe, meet Clarice, daughter of Ares," says Anabeth.

" like the war god?" Asks Percy.

" I am also head of the unofficial welcoming committee," Clarisse says.

She grabs my twin by the arms and drags him backwards. One of her friends grabs me.

"Clarisse don't!" I hear annabeth yell.

she drags us to the girls bathroom.

" let me show you how we say welcome!" Says Clarisse.

"Let go," Percy yells.

" have a drink, newbie. It's on me," she says.

She hold my brother over the toilet. Moments later the girl holding me is drenched in toilet water. My brother lets out a gasp as water shoots out of the toilet she was holding him over and hit Clarisse dead in the face.

She lets out a yelp and she glies back with her friends now soaked on the ground.

" The drinks on her all right," I say.

Annabeth is leaning against the wall smiling.

" why are you smiling like that?" I asked scared of the answer.

"I'm thinking I want you on my team for capture the flag," says annabeth.
