Chapter 6

Bells's POV

Once I saw the spider I screamed and jumped on Travis's back. "CONNOR! KILL IT!" He looked at me and the grin disappeared from his face and killed the spider. "Great." He said. "Now we have two daughters of Athena. I'm sorry, Bells. Come here." I jumped off Travis's back and went over to him. I felt stupid as I cried, but it was different for me. Connor hugged me and suddenly I went red in the face. Once I calmed down we went to the kitchen and sat down at the kitchen table. Percy sat next to Annabeth and was hugging her while she was shivering. Connor sat next to Annabeth, I sat next to Connor and Travis was next to me. Katie was next to Travis.

I took a breath. "I feel stupid." I said honestly. "I swear I don't cry that easily, it's just; it's harder for me with the spiders." Connor looked at me in the eye "You can tell us, really." He said. "Well...I lied earlier my dad is not really an architect. He was a teacher." I said. I had never really told anyone. "Was?" Travis asked. "He died when I was six. Spiders killed him. When I was little a huge amount of spiders tormented me in my sleep. I would wake up with spider bites all over me. I thought I was going crazy. Then, one day I left my bed and went to my dad's room. I found him covered in spiders; dead.

I ran from home then and stumbled upon a satyr that took me to a secret demigod base and told me all about my mother. Then, one day we were sleeping in the base and he, too; was killed by spiders. After that, Athena helped me. She's been giving me money and weapons every since. I've been an orphan. But, then again, it is Athena. When I turned 16 she told me to come to New York and that I would go to school here. I traveled through the entire country getting here from California. I was seventeen by then. This was about two months ago. She bought me my apartment and made me come to Goode High."

Everyone was silent. Annabeth looked at me and took my hand. "You can move in with me. You are my sister. I have two beds in my room anyway and I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind." She said. "That'd be great." I said. I was so thankful. Percy kissed Annabeth in the cheek and we just stayed silent for a few minutes.
