- - Annabeth's POV - -

"Welcome back, Subject 5. Execute Order 66" said the man, who let go of Percy's wing. Percy stiffly lowered his hand turned around to face us. His gaze was emotionless as he brought forward a young looking girl who was in handcuffs and had a gag over her mouth.

She yelped as Percy threw her at their feet. She had red curly hair and brown freckles dotting her face. She managed to get the gag off. "Percy... Percy please snap out of it!" she shouted, struggling against her restraints. She seemed no older than 8 years old. Percy stared at her blankly.

"R-remember s-sugarbear? R-remember?" she pleaded. Percy's wings twitched. "My name isn't Percy." he said coldly as he turned away from the girl. She started sobbing as she watched him walk away.

I wanted to hug the poor thing, but I obviously couldn't. I saw something flicker in the corner of my eye. Athena was slowly getting out of the restraints.

"Quickly girl, we haven't got all day." said the older scientist. The girl then controlled the mist to cover them, except for her but the scientists didn't notice.

"05, execute order 87" said the male scientist. Percy strode out in front of the army and slammed his hands together, vapor traveling the entire army to most likely their base.

Just as they were about to disappear, Athena broke free of her restraints and grabbed the girl. "P-please don't hurt me!" the girl said. Athena smiled sadly at the girl and removed her restraints.

"Do not fear, child. We are on your side. We want to help Percy too." she said, pulling the girl in for a hug. The girl sobbed quietly into Athena's shoulder. Not too long later, our restraints flickered and then we were released.

We all ran to Athena and the girl. "What's your name?" inquired Jason. The girl looked up at him shyly. "M-my name's Harper. Harper Chase." Everyone stared in shock. She gave us questioning looks.

I felt tears in my eyes. I had a sister? "H-Harper... you're my sister!" I said. She glanced at me and squealed. We embraced each other in a warm hug. "I'm Annabeth, and these are my friends." I said.

Once I introduced everyone to her, she told me how she had been kidnapped at only about a few months old and had been experimented on. The experiments resulted in her being able to control the mist.

"Percy was the first one I met who was nice to me. He's funny and upbeat, even when things don't seem so great. He calls me Sugarbear and I call him Gummybear. He is like a brother to me. He's mentioned you guys to me before, now that I think about it." Harper rambled on and on about Percy.

"But one day, the scientists injected a new serum into Percy. He came back that day not like himself. He had one sea green eye and one silver eye and a white streak in his hair. He acted like he did today. He wasn't himself." her voice quivered. A tear ran down her cheek and I brushed it gently away, the same way Percy would do with me.

"We'll find Percy. Don't worry Harper." I assured her sadly. "Do you know any way that we can get Percy back to normal... and how we can find him?" asked Frank whose arm was around Hazel's shoulder.

Harper shook her head. "I know the way to the base, but I don't know an exact way to get Percy back to normal... The only way he came back to me was when I brought up memories.. however it was really painful for him."

"You two have been through a lot together.. I'm glad we got to save you..." said Piper, who was fumbling with her braid. Harper smiled sadly and hugged me again.

"Let's get you all fixed up honey." said Hazel.
