A tidal wave of memories hit Calista as she woke in the arms of a dark skinned  boy, she knew that face. Grover? What the hell was he doing here? looking around, she was in a taxi, she could tell by the rain drops on the windows it was raining. Her eyes met his when she turned her head towards him.¨calista? your awake!¨She groaned as his yelling hit her sensitive ears, her eyes closing again.

From his breathing, calista could tell they were the only ones in the car, from her memenoseris she could tell issac was here too. Sitting up, she groaned as her bones popped back into place. She blinked slowly as she looked around, there were two people standing outside in the rain. it looked like they were on the beach. She went to speak to grover when she jumped back, sitting in his place was a grown version of him, he had to be at least 28. ¨grover?¨ She whispered, leaning forward to get a closer look at the boy- now man.¨ wha- how?¨

Grover strached his head, his opened his mouth to speak when the door behind calista opened, a girl standing in her view. Annabeth? no way was this girl Annabeth, Annabeth was half her height and dressed like a little girl, standing in front of her was a woman.¨ grover! we said to get us when she woke up!¨ The girl spoke to grover with a motherly like tone.

¨she just woke up Annabeth!¨ He said. Grover didn't like the way Annabeth was already controlling Calista, they had just found her and here she went, into attack mode.

Calista eyes narrowed, her head snapped towards the girl and thats when she saw her face. it was annabeth, but just like grover, a grown up version of her. ¨annabeth?¨ The dark skinned girl raised an eyebrow as if saying 'what?'¨ oh my gods! it really is you!¨ She laughed as she lunged out of the car, into the pouring rain and Annabeth's open arms.

Gods, was it good to feel her again.

Annabeth thought, she's missed her hugs and smiles.

¨ where are we?¨ Calistas voice called out, she tried to back out of the hug but shouldn't because of Annabeth arms holding her."what happend?¨ She pushed it off as if the girl was eager to see her. in a way Annabeth was, she just wanted to hold her forever and never let go. it had to come to an end as she could feel Calista shivering from the rain, the girls feet overfilling with sand.

¨go back in the car, Percy will be out any minute now ¨ Annabeth ordered calista as she obeyed, getting in the car in the middle seat. Despite feeling uncomfortable by how big Grover was,  the blonde shifted closer to Grover to provide some body heat, the man got the memo and put his arm around her neck.

It seemed to be moments later, Grover and Calista sat in silence, the rain softly hitting the window, when in the distance she could see a figure appear from the water. she turned her head, Grover doing the same, she could see Issac and Annabeth walk up to the figure. They looked like they were talking. she could see Issac shake his head at Annabeth, walking towards the Taxi. The front car door opened, some rain getting in, before he stepped in the car. His eyes found his sisters before he looked away. What was that?

She narrowed her eyes at the man. She could feel the harsh wind and rain as someone opened the front passenger and door to her left, Annabeth and a brunette haired man stepping in the car.  The car seemed smaller as all the seats were covered and 4/5 people were either drenched or wet. Calista's teeth clattered as she tried to warm up, she couldn't though, probley due to her dress that covered little to no skin but she had issac's jacket which too was wet.

Percys eye locked in on her shivering form, he waved his hand and a second later all the water was gone from her clothes, skin and hair. He did the same thing to him, forming the collected water into a ball and opening the door slightly to drop the ball. He closed the door, turning to see calista's shocked face.¨what?¨ he asked the girl, his eyebrows raised.

¨ how'd you do that?¨ She said, her brows furrowed. He moved the water like it was nothing as if he had done it before. ¨ Who ' s your godly parent?¨ Calista leaned closer to the man, mostly out of curiosity.

¨Posedion¨ He said.¨ My father is Posedion¨ Percy slowly blinked.

In all her years at camp half blood, the god of seas had never claimed a child. Calista turned towards Annabeth, her face full of confusion. "how long were we at the casino?¨

The daughter of Athena glanced towards Issac, the man's eyes looked at her as if saying 'not right now.' She nodded ¨ I ' ll explain everything to you when we get to the hotel-¨ Her brown eyes ranking over the blondes clothes.¨ and get you a change of clothes.¨

At the mention of her clothes, Calista looked down at her figure, instantly looking back up and nodding.
