Chapter 5 : Percy - An Unusual Dinner

When I arrive to Mess Hall, I realize almost all the cabins are there. I walk over to my table, and sit down. I don't see Ashley anywhere, which means the Hermes cabin isn't here yet. Suddenly, I hear laughter from somewhere behind me. That laugh. The mocking tone. It's Clarisse. I turn around to see her and her brothers and sisters pointing and laughing at something. I get up and walk towards the crowd, dodging bodies as I make my way to the front of the crowd.
"What's going on?" Says Annabeth. where did she come from?
I look down at the ground. Ashley is lying on the ground. Near Clarisse's foot. I glare at Clarisse and give Ashley a hand.
"Thanks" She says. "The Hermes table is over there. You might wanna get take a seat before Chiron gets here." I say, pointing to a table. She gets up and walks over to the table, following Travis and Connor, sitting next to them. Once the food arrives, we line up before the fire pit. I find myself behind Ashley.
"So how are you liking the Hermes cabin?" I say tapping her on the shoulder.
"It's good. I can't tell Travis and Connor apart, and I'm afraid they will come and steal my stuff. That is, if I had any." She replies.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I can barely tell them apart, and I've known them since I was twelve. As far as the whole stealing stuff thing goes, I wouldn't worry about it. You'll get claimed soon enough and then, you can get your butt outta there. That is, if you're not a kid of Hermes." I say, trying to reassure her.
Once we are done sending our food to the gods, I go back to my table. Luckily, I'm not eating dinner alone today, Tyson's here for the week.
As I'm about to take a bite of my food, everyone stops talking. Absolute silence. I look around, trying to figure out the source of this rare occasion called silence. I turn around to see Ashley, with a glowing trident over her head. A trident. The sign of Poseidon. I HAVE A SISTER!!! I think to myself.
Suddenly, another sign is added. A lightning bolt. Right next to the trident. Zeus. Next to Poseidon. Then another sign. A helm. The helm of darkness, to be exact. Ashley's being claimed by all 3 of them. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. How is that even possible? And what does it mean? How does that even work? Wait... I don't want to think about that...
A bright flash interrupts my thoughts. All three of the gods appear before us. A voice rings out in the air. "Ashley Knight, daughter of the Big Three."
"What is going on!?!?!" Mr. D exclaims, walking towards them.
"Dionysus, if you would give us a moment to explain before you attempt to turn us into grapevines, it would be greatly appreciated." My dad said. He hesitates before backing off.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, we would like to have a word with a few of you. Percy? Jason? Chiron? And I assume Nico will not be joining us" My dad said looking over at Hades.
"Well, you see..." Hades starts. But he never finishes his sentence. "As I was saying, I would like to have a word with you. In the Big House perhaps?"
