A Demi-God Love Story

Part One

Percy Meets His Little Sister Again

Percy POV

I was walking with Annabeth up Half Blood Hill on the first night back to camp. It was hard to believe it had been almost a year since together with the help of many of the campers we had defeated the titan lord Kronos and in the process watched an old friend Luke die. But now the world was at peace even the gods were getting better. They had lived up to there promise claiming all there kids and even the minor gods and goddesses, who's kids now had there own cabins, had been claiming kids from all over the world.

Hand and hand Annabeth and I finally walked to the top of the hill and sat underneath Thalia's pine tree. It came natural now that she would cuddle close to me resting her head on my chest and I would place my head on hers. We sat looking up at the moon and listening to the sea off in the distance. "Its hard to believe that things are so calm or at least as calm as things can be when your a Demi-God." I said laughing a little.

Annabeth smiled up at me "Yea but I have to admit things were pretty exciting when I went on quest with you seaweed brain. No matter how much I almost got killed … I even enjoy having Tyson back for the summer. Weird right?"she said sitting up more so we could actually talk.

I nodded and smiled. Tyson my younger Cyclops brother had come to visit for the summer and help with the construction of the new cabins. It was nice having him back and even nicer how no one made fun of him any more. Plus even though Y didn't admit I was glad that I wasn't going to be spending his summer alone in my cabin. I had lots of friends here at camp but it still got lonely being the only son of Poseidon … well human son.

We talked for awhile about the new campers that were coming in and how happy everyone seemed to be now that everyone was claimed, most of all the Hermes cabin which no longer had to house them all. All was calm but then again when things are calm at camp half blood that means something extremely nerve racking was about to happen. Proven at this very moment.

Just then a loud scream pierced the silent night then the earth shook as if opening then closing again.. It was still early so a couple people came rushing out of their cabins to see what was up but it was me who first responded Riptide already drawn with Annabeth by my side with her knife. The screaming got louder and then we saw who it was coming from. A girl her black hair flying behind her stumbling up the hill on her arm a large gash that was leaking pus. It was obviously poison and I had plenty of experience with poison so I could tell that if she wasn't helped soon she would be gone. I was not going to let any half blood die not this close to camp.

I ran towards her and then stopped for just a second … I knew her! It was Sky my only friend who was a girl other then Annabeth from school. I had no time to think instead I ran forward yelling for help. She looked at me and whispered almost faint " The man … one eye … stabbed me … poison … earth quake … no where ...swallowed … gone … help." then collapsed. I barely had time to catch her as she fell. She was burning hot to the touch and up close I could see the wound was worse then he had thought.

The other campers took her from me and ran her to the big house where I hoped Chiron would be able to heal her in time. Annabeth stood next to me with a few other campers still waiting for a fight. "Go back to bed guys or go help Chiron or something. The monster that attacked her is gone …" then I exchanged a look with Annabeth telling her that there was more I needed to tell her. The other campers jogged away some looking a little disappointed. Most of them had been at the battle of Manhattan and had been hoping for more of a challenge but still they had a camper to take care of and that was always a priority.

My ADHD was now in full gear and so Annabeth and I took a walk and I told her about what Sky said leaving out the fact that I knew her. Her face grew pale "P-percy a Cyclopes …. they usually don't go after Demi-God's unless … unless they are really powerful. Do you think she might possibly be well you know a close sibling of yours?" Of course she was wondering if she might be a daughter of the big three Poseidon, Zeus, or Hades.

I stopped in my tracks. My eyes growing wide and I finally said "Annabeth I know her … her name is Sky and I never noticed it before … I mean she isn't dyslexic so I just blew off all the weird things that happened thinking maybe it might have been me by accident … but she said earthquake … Annabeth are you thinking what I am thinking?"

Annabeth slowly nodded her head "It means well its not absolute but Percy you may have a new sister … hey wait you know her name how do you know her name?" she asked glaring at me and I couldn't help but smile at her. That was my wise girl never missing a thing. I told her about Sky and she bit on her finger nails growing more nervous. Though I wasn't quite sure why.

"Annabeth there is no more pact remember the children of the big three arent a threat any more other then the fact that they are ultra powerful. Why are you so worried?" I asked taking her hand reassuring her that she could tell me anything. She just shook her head saying not good not good over and over again. Thats when I started getting irritated. What was she hiding from me? Why was it so bad if she was a child of the big three … possibly even Poseidon?

Annabeth must have seen my irritation because she finally said "Oh im sorry Percy my head you know when I get thinking I don't state things clearly … Its just I know its ok to be born of the big three but its not that im worried about. Its … its that there is another prophecy that Thalia was telling me about … oh so not good!"

Then with a quick kiss good bye she ran off probably to see Thalia who had for the summer taken a leave from Artemis's maidens to come back to camp. I just sighed and went to talk to Chiron since I was the only one who knew anything about Sky and who knows maybe that might be helpful. Not a second after I had thought that Travis Stoll came running up to me telling me that Chiron needed to talk to me.

I ran as fast as I could but walked into the room I was to familiar with though it felt weird to be the one who was visiting not being treated. I walked in and looked at Sky who was under the care of Will Solace of the Apollo cabin with Chiron watching over. Chiron waved me over and said "Percy this young lady has been saying your name … do you by chance know her?"

"Yes sir … her name is Sky Thalasa shes a close friend of mine from school." then I continued to tell him about what she had said when we had got her and what Annabeth had said. Chiron then ran his fingers through his hair and got the same worried expression Annabeth had. I got the feeling I was again being left out of something and again I dared not ask. All Chiron said was "Well lets hope that … lets just wait and see who claims her. Till then Percy I am sure you will do your best to help with her? Her wound was bad but we got to her in time so all she needs now is a few days rest and some ambrosia and nectar. Im leaving her in your hands Percy and im sure Will will help in any way he can."

Will jumped at the sound of his name and I could have sworn I saw him blush and look away quickly from her. "Yea of course in fact I just said a prayer over her and her wound is healing nicely. Hopefully she will be awake soon really soon." Will said looking at Sky again trying to hide his staring. I had never noticed before but a lot of guys stared at her. I wondered why I never had.

Over the next two days I stayed by Sky's side spoon feeding her ambrosia and nectar wondering what they tasted like to her. Will came a couple times a day sometimes he relieved me from my duty for an hour or so and sometimes he came just to look at her. He said he was working on her but I knew that he was worried about her like I was especially because of the crying and screaming from her dreams. I couldn't help but wonder if I had done the same thing when I was in here.

She came around once or twice for a minute or so in the next two days but must have thought she was seeing things because she would always mutter something about stop dreaming about Percy then go back to sleep. It made me blush thinking hat she was dreaming of me though I didn't think it had to do anything with the fact she liked me. I knew for fact that I was her friend and nothing more and I liked it that way. Besides she had once told me I was like the big brother she had never had. Again Annabeth's words about her possibly being my sister stirred in my head. I couldn't help thinking that if I had to imagine what my sister would be like I imagined Sky.

I couldn't explain it but in many ways Sky herself was like me and even more ways like the sea itself. She was one of the kindest people I had ever met and was usually the one keeping me out of fights but she herself had a temper that no one wanted to see. Plus she as pretty unpredictable. She never ceased to amaze me with her random thoughts or actions and surprisingly pranks. Now Sky if you look at her or see her in class you would never guess she would prank anyone or at least do it for fun.

She was the type that smart book worm type everyone expected to always be quiet and shy and when I first saw her so did I. I had always seen her reading at lunch by herself and she was always the first one done with assignments in class or answering the teachers. I would have never found out she was so cool, I always liked a person who had a rebellious streak like me, if I hadn't caught her in the act of pranking our English teacher. I couldn't stop laughing much to her embarrassment but ever since that day she had been one of my best friends.

In school we were always together and no one really understood why we would hang out together and some just assumed we were related because actually looking at her she did look a lot like me. Sky had long black hair that would have been exactly like mine if she didn't streak it with shades of blue that reminded me of the ocean since at places it had a tint of green and never seemed to have the same pattern of streaks, and like me she had green eyes though hers were lighter most of the time but with her mood they shifted to darker shades but what really made us seem related was her smile that had this mischievous tint to it like she was thinking about who her next target would be.

The thing was we never hung outside of school but I didn't consider her just my school friend since I knew if I wanted to hang out after school I had to do was ask. I never did since on a weekly basis I was fighting off monsters with Annabeth, who I spent a lot of time with since she lived closer, and coming close to death. I really had no right to put anyone in danger like that and there was no way I was going to let any more of my friends get hurt.

I thought about this everyday as I fed her or cleaned her wound then on the third day when I was spoon feeding her ambrosia pudding she woke up and managed to ask "Are you feeding me cookie dough … pudding?" her voice was weak but better then it had been on the hill. I smiled at her as her eyes opened slowly. She smiled back as much as she could.

"Hmm cookie dough I always taste popcorn … its always interesting to see what people taste. But anyway how are you feeling? That was some wound you got but luckily Chiron and Will patched you up really good."I said and seeing her strain as she tried to sit up I helped her though she wasn't to happy about it. Like me she always hated feeling weak but I think she only let someone help her because it was me.

Then once she sat up she said "I feel really sore and weak like im about to pass out again … but im also confused. All I remember from the past week is running and these dreams with you and Annabeth," she knew Annabeth from the picture I kept of her in my notebook and me never shutting up about her "and this punk looking girl … and you guys were telling me I was in trouble. Then its all kinda blurry like I was still dreaming. I was walking at night and I was in trouble? Then pain and an earth quake then you? I think … I don't know. And Chiron isn't that … no hes not real but Percy I think im going crazy you have to tell me whats going on."

She had a pleading look on her face the same one she used on people when she didn't want to her math homework and just copied the answers. I felt bad for her but I wasn't sure what I was suppose to say to her. But I figured I could at least tell her what happened to her "Sky you were attacked by what sounds like a cyclopes. He must have stabbed you with a poisoned dagger or something then somehow you were drawn here. But thats not to surprising this place attracts half bloods because its the only safe place for us. Im surprised a satyr didn't find you but then again these days they are all really busy," I sighed I wasn't sure what else I should tell her or how I should tell her,"Look Sky I cant explain it all because I don't know how and im not even sure if im aloud to but here ill get you some nectar. It will help with the weak feeling you have."

My words helped a little but she looked more confused then she had before but didn't question me knowing that I don't like being interrogated. I brought her a glass handing it to her remembering the first time I had tried it. She took a drink then gasped slightly staring at the glass. Then drank it all thirstily enjoying it then looking at the empty glass amazed. "First cookie dough pudding then chocolate milk shake apple juice?" she said though I wasn't really sure if it was a question or a statement.

I explained to her it was nectar and again the confused sad look swept over her again. Luckily I didn't have to explain any more when Annabeth and Chiron, in wheelchair form, came in. Sky's eyes lit up at the sight of Annabeth already knowing who she was without having to be told. Then said "Oh finally I actually get to my best friends girlfriend! Oh Percy she is really pretty I can why your always bragging about her. Annabeth its so nice to meet you im Sky."she beaming at Annabeth and me making us turn bright red.

She hadn't even seen Chiron till she coughed and she jumped then smiled apologetic at him. He smiled at her in return and said "Its good to see you awake my dear. As im sure Percy has told you, you had a very bad wound but it should be completely healed by now although I must warn you for the next couple days you will feel tired and should take it easy while doing camp activities."

She looked at him puzzled "Camp activities? Im at a camp and your just going to let me stay here. But wait where am I exactly and why am I here? Why was I attacked? And Percy keeps mentioning monsters and satyr's but there not real … whats going on I feel like im going crazy!" she now had silent tears running down her face all the fear and confusion that was built up in her being released. I sat on her bed and hugged her gently. Annabeth sat with me and patted her hand having gone through this many times before.

Chiron sighed and said "Well it seems you like Percy don't beat around the bush. Well young one it is not truly an easy thing to explain to someone but all I can hope is that you believe us which will be easier if you meet Mr. D. Come now Percy Annabeth if you would please help Sky out to the deck." Annabeth and I followed his orders both taking one of her arms helping her walk, well really wobble, out to the porch and into a chair near the table where Mr. D sat drinking a diet coke.

He gave us a glance the same, I don't really care, look on his face. "Well I see that you have finally woke up. Its about time everyone has been so worried about the little girl who was hurt and helped by the big hero Peter Johnson." as always he insisted getting my name wrong and she shot me a questioning look but I just shrugged.

"Well I suppose I should tell you a little but about this bloody camp." then he cleared his voice and gave the same speech he did to every new comer "This is camp half blood the only save place in the world for Demi-God's like yourself. Now I know it is hard to believe but you are the son or daughter of one of the great Greek gods or goddesses. Yes we are real and yes we control everything in this world from the sea to the earth. Now I know you must be controlled but I have no time to deal with your personal issues so direct all your questions to Chiron and good bye I have some business with the strawberries to take care of." then without another word he left leaving only the smell of grapes behind him.

Sky was wide eyed both scared and in awe. She was always obsessed with the Greek gods and she wondered why I always laughed when she started talking about how she wished she was the daughter of a god. But now she seemed to understand. She didn't ask many questions other then who mine and Annabeth's parents were and if Chiron was the Chiron, which was answered when he stepped out of his magical wheel chair. It was nice for once that someone wasn't freaked out but actually excited about who they were. She was extremely excited learning I was a son of Poseidon since she had always loved the stories about him and over all loved the sea. Again another reason why I was beginning to see how she could be my sister.

Then she bit on her lip the way she did when she was afraid to ask a question because she was afraid of looking stupid. Then she choked down her pride and asked "Chiron ...whos my father?" she looked at him her green eyes shifting from light to dark like they couldn't decide if they were happy or sad.

Chiron put a hand on her shoulder and said "That I can not tell you yet. But Thanks to Percy here you will not go undetermined but for the time being Percy Annabeth take her to cabin eleven. They have some free beds available since they are not housing so many people. And see if you can get her fitted at the armory so she can play capture the flag Friday." Then with that he left.

Sky felt better now and was able to walk by herself and seeing her reaction to everything was amusing. After seeing the whole camp and getting her armor, a kid from the Hephaestus cabin helped her and blushed when she hugged him for being so nice, we were walking down the trail to the cabins when she said "Percy this place is amazing. I guess it make sense now how people said we were related at school because I guess were all related some how right? Oh this is wonderful I just cant believe it its like a lifetime dream coming true. I just wish I knew who my father was but I cant fuss over that im just happy im here and safe," she laughed then said "Sorry im rambling Annabeth. Percy is use to it but your not. Its just so much to take in and so much to think about … I cant wait to start my training and I was hoping if you didn't mind you would teach me ancient Greek? I know you don't know me to well but if Percy is basically in love with you I'd really like to get to know you."

Annabeth was taken back and turned just a slight shade redder " Of course ill teach you I just hope your a better student then Per-" she was cut off by the screams of Sky who was now freaking out and backing up slowly. I turned around to see Tyson running towards us then remembered Sky had been attacked by a cyclopes.

"Monster Monster! H-how I thought they werent aloud here! Percy help!" She was shaking horribly with Annabeth trying to calm her down by holding onto her hands and explaining that Tyson was no threat. Tyson came up and had that sad look on his face that he always got when he scared someone. He said he was sorry for scaring the pretty girl but Sky just nodded still shaking.

"I am sorry Percy. I scare many people. Maybe pretty girl right I am monster and should not come around new people." Tyson looked sad his big brown eye getting watery. I patted his arm telling him he wasn't a monster and trying hard to not glare at Sky. I knew it wasn't her fault but I didn't like my little brother getting hurt not even by one of my best friends.

But I didn't stay mad long because Sky redeemed herself within the minute. She came up to Tyson giving him a hug and said "No your not a monster Tyson im sorry im just jumpy. Some bad cyclops hurt me and you just scared me is all. But your Percy's brother and no one Percy cares for so much can be a monster." Then she gave him a big smile. This cheered Tyson up making him smile but also making him blush.

Tyson ran off since he was helping make more weapons and armor for the new arrivals and Annabeth had to go help her brothers and sisters clean up her cabin for inspection. I had time to talk to her alone before she went to the Hermes cabin. "Tell me the truth Sky how do you really feel all about this? Your not usually one who likes any kind of change and this is a big change." I asked her giving her my don't even lie to me look.

She though about it for a few minutes then said "I feel like I belong here. Everyone is so nice and when im here I feel like ive always somehow known this was here but I was never able to find it. So its not really like a change its like im finally arriving to a place that ive been trying to get to my whole life. But I do miss my family. I know I always complained about having so many brothers and sisters but I secretly loved it and of course I miss my mom she was the one person I could always count on to believe me when weird things happened in my life. I never told you but my whole life things happen to me that were at the time unimaginable and I thought that I was just seeing things and my mother told me that it was ok. That my father, she told me he was dead, was always watching over me. I now see what she meant I just wish she had told me who he was."

This was a whole new side of Sky I had never seen before. Even though she was a Demi-God knowing that she wasn't this all the time unafraid unselfconscious made her seem really human. We finally reached the cabin and she smiled her eyes finally back to there happy light green. "Hermes cabin. It seems kinda appropriate to put me in here I guess. But is it bad to want to be determined really bad?" she asked as we stood by the front door.

"No before you came here a lot of people were undetermined and shoved in here. But they made a promise to claim there kids and we even gave cabins to the minor gods and goddesses. A lot of people turned bad because they were never claimed. But don't worry you will find who your parent is I promise." I gave her a quick hug before the brother Travis and Connor Stoll came out to greet us.

"Hey guys sorry to push a camper on you since I know how your loving having some free space but Sky needs a place to stay for a couple days before she is claimed. So hook her up for me?" I said as we walked into the cabin which now actually had room to walk through.

They both looked her over and exchanged a look both of them grinning. "Of course we would be happy to take her in Percy. Who would we be if we denied a bed to such a beautiful chick a bed." Travis said guiding her over to an empty bed while Connor stared at her butt. I glared at him but he just grinned and shrugged at me whispering "Even if we didn't have room she could have shared a bed with me. Seriously Percy how is it you know all the hot chicks?"

I felt the need to punch him but resisted the temptation knowing Sky would just scold me and beat me in return. She did it every time without fail. And now was not the time to make her angry. Now that she knew what she was what ever powers she had were sure to show and I did not want to be the one to get them tested on me.

I left the cabin with her laughing with Connor and Travis about some stupid joke they had made to try and impress her. For some odd reason I think they would all get along mostly because they were known as the pranksters of the camp and that was one of her favorite past times. I left feeling at ease yet at the same time happy she was making friends. Though that was never an issue with her happy kind personality she always attracted friends.

Later that night as we were walking to dinner I saw Sky laughing with the rest of the Hermes cabin and siting in the middle of the Stoll brothers and seemed to be the center of attention. I sat with Tyson and he said "Girl is very lucky daddy cares for her very much. Present almost done for her. Sky is going to like very much." I looked at him a look of shock on my face. Did he just say daddy as in our father? Tyson did live down in the forges maybe he knew … I pushed it out of my head. We would know for sure who her parent is with in the next few days so I shouldn't worry … right?

After the dinner we went to the sing along and I tried to sit by sky but sitting by her were the Stoll brothers and oddly enough Will who kept asking her if she would start off the songs. I couldn't blame him she had a beautiful voice though there were a lot of people in the Apollo cabin who had even nicer ones. Annabeth and Grover took a seat next to me and Grover said "Wow Percy it seems she is really popular. Maybe she is a daughter of Aphrodite I mean she has the looks for it."

Annabeth scoffed "Yea shes pretty but, no offense to Selina may she rest in peace, but shes a bit to unselfabsorbed and to interested in learning. Honestly Percy she reminds me a lot of you. Its a good chance she may be your sister." she whispered the last part so only Grover and I could hear. Then as if on cue right after she said it everyone grew silent then bowed down to Sky who was standing completely bewildered looking up at the sea green trident over her head. It was official my best friend was now my little sister and what ever Annabeth and Chiron was worried about would now be ten times worse.
