No, this isn't possible. This isn't happening. Considering all the things I've been through, like getting almost dying multiple times, this is by far the worst experience.

"I'm not her sister. I'm an only child anyway," I said sternly.

"Well I'm related to a cyclops and he's the best brother ever so anything's possible," Percy said.

I rolled my eyes.

"I wouldn't mind if we were related, you know," Reyna chimed in.

"Yeah? Well I would," I said.

"What's so bad about her being your sister anyway, Erica?" Mike asked me.

"I don't like her and I have a mother, I don't want this lady who doesn't even know who her children are to be my mom," I said with an annoyed face.

"Well, 'this lady' is my mother so don't start insulting her," Reyna said with a serious look on her face.

Everyone was silent for a second. Then, Percy, unsurprisingly, chimed in.

"Well," Percy began, "let's not fight okay? The best we can do is ask someone."

"Honestly, the best we can do is talk to Bellona herself," Jason said.

"And how would we possibly do that?" I asked.

"Through you, Erica," Annabeth said.

"What?" I asked.

"Call your mom," Annabeth said.

"No, no, no. My mother is not Bellona," I said sternly, making it clear how stupid their plan is.

"Just do it, Erica," Mike said.

"Yeah, please?" Ben chimed in.

"Fine!" I said, annoyed.

I pulled out my phone and clicked on my mom's contact.

"Wait, aren't phones not supposed to work here?" Percy asked.

"Well, guess they do today. And shut up, it's ringing," I said.

Percy and Annabeth rolled their eyes.

"Hello?" My mother answered.

"Hi mom,"I said.

"How have you been, Erica?" She asked me.

"Good. Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course," she said.

"Are you Bellona?" I asked.

My mom went silent.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Yes, sorry. Say that again?" She said.

"I think you heard me, mom," I said with no emotion in my voice.

"I'm not going to lie to you, Erica. You could see right through me. Yes, my name is truly Bellona, and Reyna is your sister."

"WHAT?!" I yelled. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS A LONG TIME AGO?!" I was furious with her. All my life I didn't even know. "You lied to me, all this time! Why didn't I notice?!"

"I tried to make that one you wouldn't see through. There's no way a logical person would think their mother was a goddess," my mom said in a calm voice.

"So why did Reyna get to go to this camp? Why did all your other kids know about this?" I complained.

"Your father was a spy, I wanted a child that wasn't brought up like every other kid of mines. And you can use your spy skills to help at Camp Jupiter."

"Where were you when you said you were in London?" I asked. "Were you even a spy?"

"I was with the other gods and goddesses. However, I did actually go to London. And those 'spy' things I did, was actually me manipulating their minds--"

I hung up. I couldn't stand listening to this anymore. I threw my phone down on the ground in anger.

"So?" Percy asked.

"I guess I have a sister," I said in annoyance.
