Tragedy Strikes

Some stuff about Lyra you need to know:

-Her Gram is from Argentina

-She likes to draw

-She loves reading

-She can sing like an angel

---LEO'S POV---

We had finally crossed the border into New York State. Lyra was definitely an Apollo kid. Her voice was as gorgeous as her. A little bit more. She seemed to know every Spanish song, country song, show tune, or Disney song that came on the radio. Percy kept on insisting that she sing Under the Sea with him or asking her about these dumb books. "Wait, so there are books about us?" Percy asked for the billionth time. Lyra sighed. "Yes. The books started with you and then developed into a bunch of other ones. Heroes of Olympus is about the seven, Kane Chronicles is about the Kane siblings, you've met them. Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Annabeth's crazy dead cousin, and Trials of Apollo, about my deadbeat dad who got punished. He deserves it after what he did to Momma." Jason turned around and looked at her. "What did he do?" She took a deep breath. "He leaves her with baby me, and then she, well, she got depression. Then winter came around, she caught pneumonia and kicked the bucket. I've lived with Gram ever since." She wiped her eyes and opened a book. We didn't talk for hours until the New York skyline came into view. I nudged her and pointed out the window. Her eyes widened. She rolled the window down and stuck her head out the window. "Omigods! That's actually Olympus! Omigods!" She put her head back in and didn't stop smiling as she read a book, which finally confused me. "If you're a demigod, aren't you dyslexic?" She shook her head. "Nope. I'm ADD. That's it." Weird. "And you can speak fluent Spanish?" She nodded and made a face like it should be obvious. "Uh, yeah. Gram taught me. She didn't want me to forget about my mom and my ancestry from Momma's side." Made sense. My mom taught me Spanish, then English. "You call your Grandma and Mom, Gram and Momma. Not any Spanish names?" Shook her head again. "No. Well yes, but no. I did call them abuela and mama but mostly just Momma and Gram." I nodded. Four hours earlier we had a long conversation in Spanish about the craziest ships. Like, people ship me and Nico? That kid gives me the creeps. Why would I find Cal twice and bring her back from Ogygia if I didn't love her? And then go for Nico instead? Craziness. Then she told me about Solangelo. I ship it with all my heart. 

We arrived at the entrance to the woods. "Alright Lyra, we're gonna have to walk the rest of the way. Walk next to Leo. Jason goes in front. I go in back. If you get separated from us, just run straight to the clearing and---" she cut him off. "Find half-blood hill and get through the border. I know the drill. I also know the story of Thalia." She marched ahead into the woods. Jason and I ran to catch up with her. She hummed some Hamilton and hoisted her backpack over her shoulders occasionally. The trees parted before us and we reached the clearing. She gasped and her hand flew to her mouth. "Wow. It really is real. It's beautiful." I smiled at her and we started climbing the hill. Jason, Percy, and I crossed the border. Percy explained the whole thing to her. "If you can get through you're actually Lyra Hansen and you renounce any loyalties you may have had to Gaea. If not, we'll have to kill you." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Lyra Hansen stepped through the border. She smiled up at me. I gave her a grin and two thumbs up. Percy and Jason gave her hugs. She had made it safely, which was weird. Our happiness was shattered by scream that came from the infirmary. I recognized it immediately. Calypso.

---ANNABETH'S POV---

I held Cal's hand and stroked her head as she sobbed. Jason, Percy and Leo ran in with the new girl who I guessed was Lyra. Leo ran to Calypso and engulfed her in a hug. "Shhhh. Shhhh. What's wrong? Tell me what's wrong. I can only help you if you tell me." She cried louder and tried to say something. It was incomprehensible. Leo gave us a quizzical and worried look. Will stepped up with tears in his eyes. Will Solace never cried. "Calypso is going to-- going to have a miscarriage. I'm so sorry." He fell into a chair and cried while Nico hugged him, looking awkward but needing to be there for his boyfriend. Leo crumpled and buried his face into Calypso's head. The rest of us except for Will and Nico trooped out glumly. 

We stood outside of the infirmary all being held by our families. The girl Lyra stood there awkwardly. She was chewing on her lip and staring at the ground. I left Percy's arms and went over to her. "Hi Lyra. I'm Annabeth. I'm sorry that this is how you had come to Camp Half-Blood." She looked up at me. "Isn't it too early to tell if she had a miscarriage? Leo told me in the car that she's barely a month along." Piper and I exchanged a look. "You don't know how long they've been gone, do you? Gaea has manipulated the time you've been gone for five months. I'm eight months along. We haven't heard anything from them for five months and had dreams that they were in danger." Lyra eyes flashed bright white. "Sorry. Gaea is trying to get me to come back to her. They thought they were gone for a couple of days but they were gone for five months?" I nodded. Will and Nico emerged from the infirmary. Nico skulked away but Will came forward. 

Lyra stuck out her hand. "Lyra Hansen. I might be your new half sister. Nice to meet you." Will's eyes brightened. "Will Solace. Have you been claimed already?" She shook her head. "Nope. But Dad left me with two ways to know who he was." She slid a bracelet off her wrist, pulled a necklace over her head and gave them to Will. I looked closer and saw that the bracelet had an arrow in the middle and the necklace had a sun and moon pendant hanging from it. He handed them back to her. "Hmm. Well I guess you're an Apollo kid. Here." He handed the bracelet and necklace back to her. She fastened them on her neck and wrist. "I guess I'll show you to the Apollo cabin and introduce you to our siblings." He came back alone a couple of minutes later. "She's totally an Apollo kid. She brought some sketchbooks and they're awesome. Her voice is pretty good too." Jason and Percy gawked at him. He saw them. "Okay, her voice is amazing. We still have to she how she is in the infirmary and how she is with archery. She hit it off with Kayla and Austin. She met Harley on the way also. He's absolutely in love with her now." We all chuckled. I glanced at the infirmary. "You should go check on them." he nodded. "You guys should go and turn in for the night. Annabeth I need to see you in two days. 'Night." He walked into the infirmary. Percy wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my head, leading me back to Cabin Three.
