"You're a demigod!" Amy scremed into the phone.
"Yea thats what I just explained. I cant believe it either!" I said. I was really surprised. He parents weren't lame at all. She always wanted Percy as her dad. He's so saving the world and all that stuff, but she didnt feel that way anymore. Her dad ripped the earth goddess to pieces himself, and her mom, a former goddess.
"And is it true? About our parents?" Amy asked. "You know what I'll ask my parents about it. Anyway do you get to go to camp?"
"yes!' Essie squealed "After this school year but yes!" There was a soft knock on Essie's door. "I have to go, see ya later Amy."
"You too! Happy Birthday!" Amy said and hung up.
"COME IN!" Essie shouted. The door opened softly, her mother appearing in the doorway.
"Hello sweetie." her mother said, smiling "We need to talk to you."
"Uh...okay but first, I have too ask, do I get any cool powers like Jason or Percy?" Calypso smiled and sat down her bed.
"Don't forget your father. Yes, maybe. Chances look good with both your parent's having special powers. Now, we can talk about this later." she got up and lead her to the kitchen where she saw Leo and Liam sitting and chatting quietly.
"Hey!" Her dad said drumming his fingers on the table and signing hello with his other hand.
"Whats this all about?" Essie asked Liam, she half expected him to shrug like he always does, he never understands their fathers mind and Leo mostly came up with the family meetings. Instead he said.
"I have something to tell you." Essie tipped her head to one side confused. Callie helped her sit down. Liam looked at Leo who nodded encouraging him to tell. "I-I..."
"Liam its fine." Essie said. "I'm your sister."
"I'm not going to camp half-blood." Liam said quickly not even signing it, almost like he was normal.
Essie now understood why her mother pressed down hard on her shoulders keeping her down. Never mind being sister and brother with was treachery. "BUT WE DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER!" she yelled. she was outraged she wanted to jump up and slap him. "I have spent enough of my life not being with you." She remembered all those years were he was still learning to communicate. She spent so long convincing her friends he was okay, he didn't understand, that he was friendly, even though she didn't know for herself.
"I'm sorry, Essie." He said calmly. "I just don't think I'll be any good there. I know we speant a lot of time like that but camp isn't the best thing for me." Liam said his hands sat laced, and still on the table, not even bothering to sign. Essie's shook so bad she could barley tell him,
"that's not us."
"Essie, I know you want your brother to go but he doesn't think it will be good for him." Her mother said from behind her not pushing as hard.
"You need hearing in a battle, Essie. Liam know it would be dangerous for him." Her father added, Liam nodded.
"I'm sorry." He said. Liam looked down at his lap.
Essie didn't know what to say. She felt angry, sad, disappointed, mostly outraged. It mixed inside of her like a big pot of emotions. All of the sudden her mother let go of her grip. Liam's eyes filled with horror, her father looked completely calm.
"Essie, calm down, your burnig the table." Leo said pointing at her hands. Fire. Her hands were on fire. He ran and dunked them in the wash bin. "Calming down and shoving it in your pocket works, but I guess that fine.
"I got your power?" She asked looking at her hands. Leo nodded. She always thought her fathers powers were cool but after hearing his backstory today, it scared her.
"Its a dagerous power but powerful and useful, You have to be carful." Leo said getting up and looking into her ees. His strong hands on her shoulders. For a werid moment she felt like her mom. Many times she has seen her mom in distress, he father comforted her the same way.
"O-okay." She walked over to Liam. She pulled him into a hug. "I'm sorry I blew up." She said even though he couldn't hear her. He nodded like he understood, like the hug was enough.
"It's ok Essie." Liam said. They're dad and mom joined in on the hug. Essie really loved her family. "If it makes you feel better you were right about Zoe."
Essie pulled away. "REALLY?!" She signed, he nodded.
"Wait what about Zoe?" Callie asked.
"Oh no." Leo said holding his face in his hands. "Percy is going to kill me."
