Demi-Goddess (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Camp Half Blood

Sally lead me out of the room once I could feel my legs again. I paused at a tall mirror cringing at my curly brown hair in frizzy swirls and my wide green eyes. I pretty much look like a human tree.

We walked through a small hallway that opened up to the living room, and suddenly all voices went quiet.

The teenage guy, Percy, started at me like I reminded him of himself. That's why he's been so familiar. I've seen him around school once or twice.

I wondered what they've all been through. The way each person in the room had a connection, like something huge had happened and it's finally the happy ending.
But then I arrived and they had to do everything all over again.
I suddenly felt guilty and sunk into the end of a couch next to Grover.

"Do you think Chiron will know what to do?", Mr.Blofis asked.

All these questions ran in my head, but I knew it wasn't a good time to ask any of them.

"The winter solstice is in three days, which means Camp Half-Blood is taking a trip to Olympus.", Annabeth contemplated.
"The gods will find out eventually...", she said, looking at Percy.

"What's Camp Half-Blood?", The question slipped out my mouth, and I mentally kicked myself for asking.

"It's a camp that keeps all demigods safe from monsters.", Percy explained.

"Demigods. Like part time god? Is that why I bleed golden ichor?", I asked.

"Not exactly. No mortal, demigod or not, should ever bleed golden ichor. Only full gods bleed that.",

My head started to ache again, which was probably a sign that I should stop asking questions.

"Who's your mortal parent?", Percy asked.

"My mom.", I replied, rubbing my temples.
She'll start worrying about me eventually...
"I need to call her.", I spoke up, and Sally waved me over to a phone in the kitchen. I was glad to step away from the group of people.
I dialed my moms number, and she picked up after the last ring.

"Mom?"

"Do you have any idea what time it is?", she sounded stressed, and I felt guilty for a moment.

"Yea, I'm sorry. I just have a question."

"What is it and when are you coming home?"

"What's with all this Greek mythology stuff?"

The phone was silent for a moment, but I could still hear her breathing through the line.

"Terra, get home and I will try to explain the best I can."

"You knew about this, and you've never told me?", I could hear my voice raise a bit, but I didn't care. I had a reason to be angry.

"I needed to keep you safe. It's my job.", she said, her voice was shaky. I knew something was wrong.

"Mom, are you okay?"

"I'm not you're mother, Terra."

Now this time I was silent.
It's just the concussion. You're making it up.

"I swore on the River Styx, I can't tell you any more than I already have...", she sounded scared now.

"What do you mean you're not my mom?", I asked, but she avoided the question again.

"Listen, Terra, you're a daughter to me, but I am not your mother-"

"What haven't you lied about then?", my voice was surprisingly calm.
