Percys Present of the Sea (a Nico DiAngelo love story)

A Present from the Sea

Percy,s POV

--------------------

I don't know why I was summoned to the big house, but I'm kind of worried. I mean we just finished saving the world. What else could possibly be happening. Can't we just get a moment of peace.

When I walk inside I see a frightened girl in a chair and Chiron in the seat across from her, he motions for me to sit down, who could this girl be? She doesn't look any older than 14. Tyron is babbling on and on, and on about the weather and storms, I interrupt him, and ask him "What is going on?" "This is Marisa, she's your sister percy." says Chiron.

I do a double take, now looking more at this teenage girl next to me. She has hair like mine, but instead of sea green eyes, she has striking blue ones. She looks up at me with a more frightened look than before and I can see the beginnings of tears forming in her eyes. Chiron is so caught up in his new camper speech he doesn't notice she's on the verge of a breakdown, so he goes on. I stop him before he can go any farther, I know that he's going to ask how she got here and I can see in her eyes that she is loosing energy fast and won't be able to talk about it. " Chiron before we go on with this, let's get her cleaned up." Chiron looked up surprised from his train of thought, then looked over understandingly at her and nodded, so I stood up and ushered her toward the door.

As we were walking I got a better look at her, she was really beaten up with a lot of cuts. I could see as her jacket moved when she walked under the cabin lights that her shirt was soaked with blood, and she looked pale. She met my eyes "Percy" she said as she started to fall to the ground. I reached out and hoisted her up, she was unconscious, she must have had a long day. I quickly took her to the infirmary and laid her down on the bed where a crowd of apollo kids began to give her ambrosia and nectar. One of them I think named Lydia started trying to push me out, saying that only family and protectors were allowed inside. I let her push me toward the door for a second, then I stopped, turned and told her " I am family, I'm her brother." She looked at me like I was completely insane, not to brag but everyone here knew who I was and that I was the only demi god child of Posiden. She looked back at my sister with more interest, once she realized that I was serious, she grabbed a chair and put it by marisa's bed for me and stalked off. Marisa was still asleep, I studied her face for a second she looked younger and more innocent in her sleep. I stayed with her for about an hour until Annabeth came bursting through the door with tears striked down her cheeks, when she saw me she ran to me sobbing.

"Annabeth what's wrong?" I asked, she turned to me confused "I-I thought you were hurt I asked Lydia if she knew where you were and she told me that you came rushing into the infirmary, so I ran here."

I turned to her, annoyed at the clearly jealous Apollo girl who had scarred Annabeth purposefully. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and gave her a hug from behind, turning her in the direction of my sister. "First of all keep your voice down you'll wake up Marisa."I motioned toward the bed where she slept, she glanced over as if seeing Marisa for the first time.

I explained everything about how I was called to the big house and how I met Marisa. I waited for her reaction and all she said was " Marisa means of the sea" I looked at her shocked for a moment , it does. But before I could ask anything we heard the bed rustleing and saw that marisa was crying in her sleep and mumbling something "nooooo" than she bolted upright and started sobbing. Before I could move Annabeth was at her side cradling her and whispering sweet comforts in her ear as Marisa sobbed in her shirt. What had happened to my new sister outside of camp.
