You think moving is hard? Try moving to some camp for so-called demigods, finding out your birth parents saved the world, and discovering you have a twin brother.
Still think your move is hard?
Yeah. Right.
Just a few hours ago, I was Ella Arnold, some random kid diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Now, apparently, I am Erica Jackson, lost daughter of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase- saviors of the world, and reunited with my twin brother, Ellis Jackson. To make things worse, when I arrived at the camp, my weapon is a blue, swirly colored duck and a sack of symboled marbles, and I don't even know how to use them.
I tried hiding to the duck and marbles, but the duck turned out to be ALIVE and trailed after me with the marble bag in its beak today. I didn't even know until some random person—eh hem—my "brother" Ellis told me. My "dad" was saying things to me, which I could not understand, and then rushed to some guy named Chiron to tell him the news. I'm stuck in a bunk cabin with Ellis, and he's just glaring at me 8 feet away while I'm trying to learn Greek . Chiron can't even stand the look of me, and Mr. D has a new victim to make a hard time of. My name is NOT Ellie Jason. Oh well. Time for dinner…

Okay, finding a random girl with a blue duck with a bag in its beak trailing after her is not a great sight when you're finally learning sword fighting for the first time. Especially if your dad is training you, and you find out that the random girl is actually your long lost TWIN SISTER.
Tough, huh?
Yeah, I admit, I was a little freaked out when I saw the girl. She looked just like me- curly-ish blonde hair, the gray-green eyes, EVERYTHING, except she was a girl, with a random duck. I realized I was staring at her, and she knew it too. In that instant, I blurted out, "Um, you have like, a duck? Behind you?"
I know what you're thinking. Smooth, right?
So, I'm staring at this girl, and standing there like an idiot, when I hear a clank of a sword dropping. My dad (by the way, is Percy Jackson, the person who saved the world, be totally grateful) is walking towards her and whispering over and over, "Erica?" and I'm all like "Whaat?" and he just goes over to her and hugs her. The dude who saved the world hugged someone besides his wife (who by the way, is Annabeth Chase who also saved the world) and the girl—whoops, my "sister"—Erica is standing veeeeerrrrrry rigidly, and I'm standing by watching this whole thing.
And then Dad says, "Fourteen years, and my daughter returns! Yess!" and pumps his fist. I was thinking, who is this dude? What have you done with my dad? And, are you serious about this girl being my sister? Dad is still continuing, "…and we have to get armor and a weapon… But you have the duck, hmm, do you think sword training would be a problem? You look fit enough, oh, I need to tell Annabeth and Chiron!" and then speeds off towards the Big House.
Wait.
Did he say SWORD TRAINING? And me, I have been asking my whole fourteen–year life to sword train, and now she just buts in and takes over?
Not. Fair.
Which is also not fair because now we share the same cabin. She's "struggling" with Greek. I'll go ask Mom… There's the dinner bell. I'll see what I can do.
