File 22: A Christmas Wedding; Part 4: Someone Familiar

| Third Person POV |

Annabeth stood there shocked that Percy was Thomas. That means that she couldn't get Percy back. He was engaged to Vivian and loves her no matter what. She has never felt so lost. When he left the first time, it was like they were snapped back into reality. When she realised what she did, she broke down.

They were engaged and were happy but all that was ruined because of what Zayne did. But she couldn't entirely blame him. It was her fault too. She began to doubt his love for her because he had been gone for a year. When he came back to propose, she forgave him immediately. But then Zayne began even more persistent.

He slipped a love potion in her drink. But she knew it wasn't the love potion fault either. The love potion only works when he or she has feelings for another. She hated herself for what she did ever since. She had been trying to find Percy to regain his forgiveness and love back.

But that all faded away when she found out he was Thomas. But not before thinking, I'll try to get Percy back.

The Grievers were in the Chaos house observing what happened in the throne room. Thomas and the others had an emotionless face on. He could sense their silent anger. The memory was kept away because it brought too much pain and suffering to them. He hated how everyone would give them pity looks. It's not like their pity would bring them back.

They went to the Garden of Fallen Heroes. They called it that because of they died heroes. Thomas knelt in front of Ryder's. On the tombstone was 'Ryder Jackson, a loving brother and warrior'. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you. We really are trying to move on but ... we don't know how. Now that it is already out, what am I supose to do?" His voice became a whisper in the end.

He felt someone squeeze his hand. There was an engagement ring on her hand. Thomas smiled sadly and looked up at Vivian. She smiled sadly in return and leaned on his shoulder. "You know, if he were here, he would say 'You finally grew the balls to do it,'" she told him and he chuckled.

The immortals in the throne room stared sadly at them either kneeling or sitting in the garden through the iris message. The Primordials hated the fact that they could only give them pity looks and not help them.

Sally Jackson-Blofis had tears in her eyes. Her baby boy was safe but not alright. He was once again under the pressure of having to safe the world while suffering the consequences. He had left without saying 'goodbye' or something. She promised to make up to him.

It was already night by the time The Grievers returned from the Garden. They teleported straight towards the Chaos house. The Olympians, Primordials, successors and minor gods and goddesses went to their respective rooms. Ella went to the Chaos house while Bella went with Poseidon and Athena.

24 December
"Dad! I'm hungry," Elly said all of a sudden. They were all sitting in the main room at their living room. Everyone was sprawled everywhere. Thomas' head was on Vivian's lap. She was braiding the ends of his hair. Thomas turned his head and looked at his Daughter. "You just had breakfast," he raised an eyebrow at her.

She pouted and he laughed. He sat up and Vivian smiled proudly as she admired her work. The others were trying to contain their laughter. Vivian smirked and Thomas looked confused. He shrugged his shoulders and carried his daughter to the kitchen to prepare some food.

After they ate, they went to the throne room to find the others. The hallways were adorned with Christmas decorations. It was a mix of blue, white, green and red. There was a fir tree in the throne room. It was decorated with white and blue ornaments.

Thomas was proud of the people who set it up. He wanted to make sure he thanked them.

"Morning," He said to them. They replied back. They were sitting around lazily too. "What are we doing today?" Apollo asked while lying on the sofa dangling his head on the armrest.

Thomas shrugged his shoulders. "Oh! The girls and I were thinking of going Christmas shopping. We haven't bought our gifts yet and also to I haven't bought my wedding dress," Vivian said. Thomas smiled at her adorableness and kissed her head. Aphrodite cooed along with her children.

"You guys look so adorable!" Drew cooed.

Thomas held Vivian's hand and smiled lovingly at her.

"You girls want to tag along?" She asked the others. They nodded their heads. Even the hunters of Artemis. The female Olympians followed along too. Vivian and Thomas has one last kiss before she left with the other girls. He smiled at her disappearing figure.

"Well, What are we suppose to do?" Shane asked.

"You wanna play beach ball?" Thomas asked. The guys shrugged and changed into their trunks.

They went to Earth's beach. There were a lot of people there. Mostly teenagers. The girls there blushed when they saw them. Some of the boys blushed while others were jealous. Thomas booked the entire court for themselves.

The Olympians and successors took the first court while The Grievers took the others.

It was the Olympians versus the successors.

8 vs 8.

"Ready?" Shane threw the ball up and they started the match.

After a few hours of wins, losses, girls flirting with them, the Olympians flirting back, they ate lunch.

"I would like to make a toast," Andrew said and stood up. Everyone looked at him. "To the future Mr and Mrs Jackson!" He said and lifted up his glass and everyone cheered while Thomas hugged him.

They were about to swim after but something caught Thomas' eyes. A girl. Someone familiar. He turned his head and couldn't believe his eyes. "Tommy?" Shane called to him. He didn't budge and walked slowly towards the girl.

The girl had silver and black raven hair too(above picture). She had a lean figure but not too built. She had a tan too. She was wearing a black bracelet that only a kid would make. It had a seashell on it.

"Willow?" The girl turned her head and the guys gasped. Her eyes were mesmerising. It was a sea green and a shade of red circled them. She widened her eyes and did the most unexpected thing.

She ran.

"Hey wait!" He started to chase after her. The others followed him. For a girl she ran really fast. She dodged everything and everybody with ease as if she had been doing it her whole life. The girl snapped her fingers and her clothes changed into a red leather jacket and jeans. She was wearing a black shirt under the leather jacket.

She jumped onto her bike. It was almost completely red. She turned it on and it roared to life. She rode off and Thomas slowed down. The others had caught up to him but were panting. "Tommy boy, why'd you chase her? Don't you have a fiancée?" Andrew asked him.

Thomas stared at the area where the girl once was.

"S-She's my Sister. Willow, Willow Jackson,"
