It was late on a Friday night in June and I was reading my favorite book, Percy Jackson and the battle of the labyrinth, for the 24th time. I practically have it memorized but I still love it. I was at the part with Kelly the empousa and daedalus, when Percy, Annabeth, Nico and Rachel are flying off with the wings. I could see it in my minds eye. Suddenly I realized that I had my arms outstretched and was yelling:" Woohoo!!!" Then I saw Amber when i glanced to my right. She was beaming at me. "This is great!!!", she shouted, sounding overjoyed. I smiled back:"I know right! You can see everything from up here!" I breathed in the wonderful fresh air rushing by my head, making my long dirty-blonde hair fly in every direction. I saw the three demigods  and Rachel land in front of us. "Come on!", I shouted, turning my head. I could see Amber behind me now. We both circled the ground a few times before landing lightly.
"Wow!",said Percy,"Are we lucky that Zeus didn't blast us out of the sky!"
"Come on guys!", Annabeth sighed, looking back at the cloud of smoke billowing from where we'd just come. Me and Amber hung back, confused. "Come on Amber, Fern! What are you guys waiting for!?", that was Percy. All four of them were looking back at us. "Wait. Hold on.", I said,"Random question:How long exactly have we all been friends? Who are my parents?"
"Very random.",said Annabeth,"Well, we've been friends since we were 12. You and Amber came to camp with Percy. And your mom's name is Aloe Grays, your dad is Apollo." She said all of that completely seriously. "Wait...so, so I have powers?", I asked, unable to believe my ears.
"Uh, knock, knock!",said Nico,"What's wrong with you! Of course you have powers! You're awesome at archery, you have a dagger called Sunslash, you have the best healing powers of any Apollo kid last century and you can also control sunrays." I squeeled. "And...wh-what about m-me?", Amber stuttered.
"I don't know what's gotten into you two but okay.",sighed Annabeth," You're mom is Rebecca Brooks and your dad is Hades. You can control gems, you can raise armies of undead warriors and in case you haven't noticed, you have a stygian iron sword, Nightshade, hanging from your belt. Oh, and you both have a dog/wolf. Fern, you have a giant dog named Lyrics that can appear whenever you want him to and he can talk, a gift from your dad and Amber, you're wolf's name is Shadow and he can shadow travel, also a gift from your dad." After saying all that in one breath, she stood there, hands on her hips, tapping her right foot on the ground, staring at us expectantly.
"This. Is. So. Coooooollllll!!!!!!!", squeaked Amber. "I know! It's awesome!", I answered, a little too loudly. "Well, off to camp half-blood!", said Percy, clearing his throat awkwardly. Before I could even take one step, I was flooded with memories. Amber, Percy and I defeating the minotaur, getting claimed by Apollo, befriending Luke, being so mad when he had gone to the dark side, being on his yacht, the princess andromeda, being on the ship with clarisse, the titans curse, seeing zoe and Bianca die, a gush that just kept coming, too much to keep up with! My knees buckled. Out of my hazy vision, I saw Amber fall to the ground a second after me. Suddenly it all stopped. Was this really real? Had we really been there all along? What about my other life? I stood up shakily, Percy helping me up. I murmured a thank you to him. Annabeth was helping Amber up.
"What happened, you guys?",asked Annabeth, opening a plastic bag she had taken from her pocket and handing us each a square of ambrosia. I ate it in silence. After I had swallowed the lemon flavored square, I felt a whole lot better. "Let's just get back to camp.", I said simply, not answering Annie's question. "Okay. You guys good?", Percy asked us. "I'm fine", said Amber. "Yeah, same.", I said. "Alright, let's go.", Rachel spoke for the first time since I'd arrived. We all nodded and walked down the busy street....
