A New Goddess (Sequel to The Child Of The Dead Sea)

1. Sally

Percy

The party was still going on but Annabeth and Kate had decided to leave, which meant i had to leave too. "Why are we leaving? It was fun." I asked.

Annabeth rolled her eyes and answered. "Because Dionysus spiked the drinks and the last thing i want to deal with is a drunk son of the sea."

"Oh." I answered and they both laughed. I trailed behind them as we made our way to my cabin.

We walked in and Annabeth and Kate continued to talk to each other about various things that I had lost interest in long ago. "You shower now." Annabeth scolded me, pushing me towards the bathroom.

I knew not to mess with her and I went into the bathroom. Before I turned the water on I could hear them laughing. At what, I don't know.

I took a fast shower and changed into the cloths that I brought in with me. It was just a dark blue tank and matching boxers.

I left the bathroom and the girls looked up at me. "Percy, have you talked to your mother recently?" Annabeth asked.

I felt my face flush. "Oh schist." Was my brilliant answer.

"We should visit her tomorrow. She's probably worried sick about you." Annabeth said.

"Should you IM her?" Kate asked.

I nodded and grabbed a sweatshirt and slipped it on. Then I made a rainbow and threw in a drachma. "Oh goddess accept my offering. Sally Jackson, Manhattan."

The rainbow faded into an image of my mom curled up on the couch next to Paul. "Hey Mom." I said.

Her head snapped up and her eyes landed on me. "Percy?" She asked. I nodded. "PERSEUS JACKSON! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" She screamed.

I looked over the image and saw Annabeth and Kate trying to contain their laughter. "It's a long story. And I can tell you it tomorrow." I smiled.

"You're visiting?" Paul asked.

I nodded and my mom's smile grew. "Paul, get the blue food coloring." She said and scooted him off. Then she turned back to me. "I swear to the gods, Percy, if you are missing a limb you will never taste another blue cookie for as long as you live." She growled and the image faded.

"Annabeth," I called, "we have to replace my lost tooth!" The girls broke into laughter after I said this.

Once they recovered Kate asked. "Okay, what's with the hoodie?"

"We don't tell Sally things that will worry her, at least not through IM's. Percy was covering his tattoo." Annabeth answered.

Kate nodded and Annabeth stood. "I should go back to my cabin. We are leaving right after breakfast Percy, don't forget. Kate, make sure he doesn't forget." She left and I turned to Kate, who was still laughing.

Once we were finished breakfast. We told Chiron where we were going. He was fine with it but insisted that we get Argus to drive us there.

Now the three of us were in the backseat, i was forced into the middle. It was still about an hour or so until we get there. Annabeth had fallen asleep almost as soon as we left, her head rested on my shoulder. Kate had done the same soon after and had her head on my other shoulder. So here i was, pinned between my sister and my girlfriend. Both of whom would kill me if i moved. But i had no intention of moving.

Argus was driving and every so often i would catch one of his eyes looking at me with a hint of amusement, as if my situation was funny.

I looked over at Annabeth. She was sleeping soundly and breathed softly. She was so beautiful when she slept. When ever something in her dreams happened that annoyed her, her nose would scrunch up in the cutest way. Her blonde curls fell over her shoulders and slightly waved with the movement of the car. It was times like this when i could stay like this forever. Just staring at her face.
