Acacia Jackson- A Percy Jackson fanfiction

Acacia prepares for her birthday

Hi, My name is Acacia, and today's me and my idiot brother's (Dimitrio Jackson's) birthday . But instead of receiving presents, I received the life changing truth...

I brushed my dark, brunette hair into a neat bun; today was my 12th birthday and so was Dimitrio's. I adjusted the flutter sleeves of my silky emerald dress in the mirror, which the sleeves seemed to flow up and down in the wind like the flapping wings of an elegant bird. Suddenly, my twin- Dimitrio- interrupted my dress inspection "You've been in the backyard staring at that mirror for ages sis, you might as well be Narcissus!"

"I am not, anyways, I just needed to check my dress seaweed brain" Acacia (Me) normally called Dimitrio a seaweed brain because he was obsessed with surfing, but this time when I said it, something didn't feel right, as if I wasn't the first one to come up with the silly name, saying it almost felt... ancient.

Must be nothing I thought, though I knew there was something important that had to do with it. But I decided to brush it off since I had no time to waste.

"Anyways, Seaweed brain, what do you think of my birthday dress?"

I said Seaweed brain, like it was an unusual word from outer space, (really it was just my twin's nickname) But again, did saying the nickname I made for him feel weird-almost the feeling of deja vu... But my brother didn't seem to catch on any signs of weirdness "Acacia, I think you look fabulous, fabulously disgusting in fact as I am definitely not complimenting you, ew I would never! (He definitely was), but anyways, I think your fit strikingly matches your eyes, which builds up a good theme."

"Thanks for the compliment," I added sarcastically, I inspected my reflection and indeed what he said was true! Somehow just now did I realise that my daring misty-grey eyes perfectly matched my dress, and because of the match of theme, I looked absolutely glamorous. Though I swore that my dress was emerald green before... I thought. Oh was I confused today, perhaps I didn't have much sleep last night so my memory was dreary? But I still decided to mention the confusion to Demetrio just in case, "Somethings not right Demetrio. I was wearing a green dress! How come it turned grey?"

"Hm?" My brother responded idiotically, "Nope, your dress has always been grey like your eyes, what are you talking about?"

"Oh brother, are you brainwashed? It was clearly green when you walked in!"

"Nope, it was grey Acacia, you're hallucinating!"

Something was definitely not right.
