Percy Jackson's Twin Sister

So it begins

It's crazy how fast 30 minutes can change things. We have 10 days until the summer solstice. We need to get to Los Angeles as quickly as possible so obviously we use a bus pretty quick and cheap way to get there right. Wrong. Somehow we figured out how to explode the bus.

" three theories in an exploding bus? This is not a good start!" Says my brother, " does anyone even know where we are?"

" you said monsters get dispelled for a lifetime!" I say.

" I said if you were lucky! Obviously you're not!" Says Annabeth.

" I liked Mrs. Dodds better when she was a math teacher!" Says Grover.

We stop at a small clearing in the forest about a mile away from the bus. The boys find some logs to sit on and Annabeth curls up on the ground and falls sleep.

" note to self, next time we're attacked by Hades torturous, someone grab our backpacks before we make our get away," I say.

"tin cans... I left a perfectly good sack of tin cans," says grover.

" i'm sorry for getting you mixed up in this dumb quest. It's my fault you're even here," my brother says to grover.

" Percy, I beg to Mr. D's to buy me to you. Bringing you back safe from this quest is the only way I'll ever get my searchers license," says Grover.

" license to search for what?" I ask.

" not what. Hu. The great god pan. Lord of the satyrs and protector of all the wild places of earth. He disappeared 2000 years ago, and ever since the bravest satyrs of each generation of pledge their lives to find him. My father was a searcher and my uncle. But It'll be different for me. I'll be the first surgery to come back alive," he says.

" hang on, the first? You mean every satyr that's gone off to find pan has died. And you still wanna go?" Says Percy.

" The belief that he's out there somewhere is all that keeps us theaters from despair and when we look at what humans have done to the world," says Grover.

We sit in silence for a few moments.

" you're not selfish Percy," says Grover.

"How did you-?" My brother says.

" cedars can read emotions. That's how I know you didn't take this quest to save the world. You took it to get payback for your mom. And impress your dad," says Grover.

" satyrs emotions must work differently than humans, because you're only half right. I couldn't care less what my dad thinks. He never cared about us," Percy said gesturing to me, " One of you take first watch. I'm gonna get some sleep."

I hear my brother let out a sight meaning that he has fallen asleep.

" sorry about Percy. He might not be wrong about our dad but he didn't have to say it so aggressively. When he gets angry sometimes he just can't control it," I say.

" it's fine. I understand, not a lot of demigods can control their emotions. Especially ones like anger," he says, " it always surprises me though how well you can. You might look angry and ball your fists and tighten your jaw but never actually seem to let it loose. When you do you know it's bad."

"Thank Grover. Your a good friend," I say.

"Thanks, I'll take first watch," he says.

"You sure?" I ask, "I can stay up with you."

"No get some sleep," he says, " oh and Phoebe I'm sure Travis and Conner miss you as much as you miss them."

I blush a little wishing he would have noticed that. I lay down on the ground and fall asleep.
