On The Edge Of It All

Chapter 8: Well That's One Way to Find Out

I could hear things before I was able to peel my eyes open. The voices were muffled though and I couldn't make out what they were saying. One of the voices seemed familiar though.

I groaned and moved my hands to rub my eyes and get them to open. When I stretched I could tell I hadn't moved in a while and every joint I had poped.

"Chiron, Dad she's awake!" I heard and then a set of footsteps and a set of hooves came rushing toward me.

I turned my head and opened my eyes enough to see Percy beside me. Evidently he had been keeping an eye on me waiting for me to wake up. I looked back to the end of the bed as the footsteps stopped.

"Who are you?" I asked, voice raspy.

"I'm your dad," Those three simple words sent my world into darkness once again.

When I satarte to wake up again I could hear talking again, this time the voices weren't so muffled.

"Percy will you please calm down?" I heard the man who said he was my dad say.

"But dad......." Percy said as I froze.

"No, she is your sister and you will help her as a brother. No anger, you don't know what her life has been like," The man said, I'm guessing he was Poseidon.

Waid, was he talking about me? It kind of sounds like it but I'm not that powerful. Sure I like water but I also like music, art, reading, and writing. I don't get it.

Suddenly I got the urge to cough and I couldn't stop it, I'd just have to act like I woke up coughing. I sat up slowly to try and get it to stop and succeded after a couple minuets.

Once I was done coughing I looked up at the two people standing in front of me. One was Percy and the other and the other was the one who said he was my dad.

"How long was I out?" I asked, looking between the two.

"Three days all together," Percy said, he held suspicion in his eyes.

I stretched again and felt several pops. Before looking back at Percy I let my eyes close and let my head relax back into the pillow.

"So is it true?" I asked, peaking at percy and Poseidon, at least I thought it was him since it made sense.

"Do you know who I am?" The man asked instead of answering my question.

"I think you're Poseidon, god of the sea, and his dad," I said, pointing at Percy for the last part.

"Yes child, I am also your father," He said watching to see how I would react.

"But I'm not powerful! I mean, I do love the water, but I've been pushed around all my life! Percy is respected and powerful, I'm just not," I said, letting myself rant a bit about what I had been thinking.

"You haven't had as much training as Percy has. Tell me, have you ever been pushed around near a pool and the person mysteriously "falls" in?"

"In the little time I've gotten to spend by a pool it's happened a couple times maybe. Why?" I asked as I sat up in interest. "I mean, they'd been standing on the edge of the pool when it happened anyway, they just slipped!"

"Actually, you probably just used the water on the ground to push them in, subconsciously at least," Percy said.

"Right, it isn't uncommon for your powers to react on reflex," Poseidon said, giving Percy a look.

"So.......I may have pushed them in?" I asked slowly.

"Sure, it's possible. Kind of a neat idea huh?" Percy asked.

"This is......weird. And hard to grasp to some extent," I said as I tried to stand.

After so long in bed I stumbled but managed to stand successfully. I bent backwards to stretch, once I felt better I took a deep breath and tried to walk, at least around the room. I didn't stumble much and once I felt better about that I sat back on the bed.

"What now?" I asked hopelessly, I knew they weren't kidding or messing with me.

"Now the best things for you to do are head back to your cabin and settle in. I need to be going before Zeus gets mad."

"Okay, call when you get the chance I guess," I said halfheartedly.

"I'll try," Poseidon said and Percy covered my eyes. When he uncovered my eyes Poseidon was gone.

~~~~~~~~A/N~~~~~~~~~~

So I had a friend point out that Melody passes out a lot, and I realize the last couple chapters it may seem like it but I felt there was good reason for it at the time. She passes out once more in the next chapter, I have another chapter written in a notebook after this one that I need to type and some of the chapter after that. I will post when I can, I have to start school next week so idk when I'll be able to write or post but I will try and keep up with this unlike I have been.

Sorry readers, that's all I can say for now. Also I know this is a shorter chapter, they happen.
