Percy Jackson's Twin Sister

Travis

I'm sitting on my bed while Percy sets up the Iris message so we can talk to mom.

"Please hold," says the fountain.

It pulls up our mom sitting on the couch next to a man.

"Sally, your a riot. I'll go get some more wine from the kitchen," says the man.

"I'll be right there," says mom.

"Mom?" Percy asks.

"Percy? Phoebe? You startled me. I still have t gotten used to that. Is everything ok?" Mom asks.

"Everything is fine. Who was that?" I ask.

"Oh honey, that's just Paul- I mean Mr. Blofis. He's in my writing seminar. We're kind of... oh dear, how do I say this? We're kind of..." my mom stutters.

"Are you happy?" I ask.

"Yes I really am. He's a very nice man," she says.

"Then don't worry about it mom," says Percy.

"I like him better than Gabe already," I say, "we'll see you for Christmas?"

"Absolutely! There will be extra candy in your stocking this year too. I'll make sure of it. And kids thank you," mom says.

"Okay, mom. See you soon," Percy says.

A flash of light and then she was gone.

"Perc, I'm gonna go see Travis and Conner," I say to my brother.

I walk out of my cabin and search for the Stoll's. I see Travis sitting by the lake. I walk next to him and sitting down next to him.

"You scared me half to death when Percy said you disappeared," he says hugging me.

He looks at my hair and some of the grey pieces that had formed from holding up the sky. He pushes one of the strands behind my ear.

"If- I- if you died I- I don't-" he stutters.

I cut him off by kissing him. I prayed to myself this was where he was going with this and I guess it was because he kisses back.

I guess this is what Hermes was trying to tell me at Olympus.

We pull away and he looks into my eyes.

"You brother is going to kill me," he says.

"He likes you, he's just over protective. Your a good person," I say.

His hand grasps mine and he leans in again. I shut my eyes and savor the moment.

"Let's just not tell him yet," I say.

"Wow, are you seriously going to keep this secret from your own twin?" Asks Travis.

"I can keep secrets from him," I say.

"Yah sure you can," he mutters with a smile.

Yah my life is complete and so is the third book
