"Happy Birthday champ." I heard a familiar voice say. I opened my eyes and looked up at my sister Lilly. She had straight black hair that went to her shoulders and sea-green eyes just like mine. We got along great even though she was five years older than me, which made her eight." Thanks." I said. I got up and we both went in the kitchen. "Good morning mom." Lilly said. "What about me?" Gabe asked. Lilly frowned "What about you?" I laughed. She picked me up and put me in my chair(I don't know why don't ask.) then sat next to me. "Do you want anything for breakfast?"Mom asked her. "No tha-" before she could finish I shoved part of a banana in her mouth. She hardly ever eats and by that I mean about once every other day. She chewed it and then swallowed it. "I'll admit you got me that time you little squirt." She said before lightly shoving me. I laughed. "It's a miracle you don't fall out of your chair yet you fall out of bed every five minutes." Lilly told. I fall out of bed a lot and since we share a room she always picks me up and puts me back (Again I don't know why she acts like my mom she just does.). " Oh shut up" I told her although I knew she was just teasing me like always. " Maybe the bed has a curse on it. I suggest we burn it and get a really big dog cage so he can't fall out." I punched her while the entire table except for Gabe laughed.
Later that day we all went out to the grocery store. I looked at the little bite sized cheese's they sell. "How do they get it in such a tiny package?" I asked. "The cheese is small." Lilly said while smirking. I stuck my tongue out at her." Come on champ." She said before grabbing my hand and pulling me along. When we got home Gabe was playing poker and drinking beer as usual. Lilly took all the beer bottles off the table and dumped them out. "What do you think you're doing?" Gabe asked. "Dumping out your beer." She said. He went to punch her but slipped in a puddle of water. She grabbed my hand and dragged me into our room. "Why am I in here?" I asked. "I don't want Gabe to have any chance to hurt you." she told me. She went to walk back out but I grabbed her arm. " Stay here." I told her. I didn't want Gabe to hurt her either. "Alright." She said. Later that day we got to celebrate my birthday but with Gabe there it wasn't as much fun.
This is Lilly's point of view.
Later that night Percy laid down in his bed and I laid down in my bed. The lights were out when I heard Percy ask ,"How did you get that scar across your eye?" (This is Lilly's flashback.) I was six , Percy was one. I was in a dreamless sleep, when I heard a voice in my mind say, " You have to get to Olympus."
"What is that ?"I asked it.
"Home of the gods." It explained.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am your father Poseidon."
"You mean you're the king of the seas."
"Yes. Zeus wants to kill your brother. You have to get to Olympus and stop him!"
Then I woke up. I looked at my alarm clock , It was 8:40 A.M. Everybody would be up in about 20 minutes, except Gabe who probably wouldn't be up until noon. There was a sword and a knife on my nightstand that hadn't been there last night. I grabbed a book bag and put them in it.I looked inside of my nightstand and found a water bottle full of a sweet-smelling yellow liquid, a map to Olympus, and some stuff I couldn't identify. I put everything but the map in my bag, then folded up the map and put it in my pocket. As quietly as possible I snuck out of the house. I followed the map to Olympus and ended up at a sky scraper.I pulled out the sword and walked up to the desk inside the building. "Can I help you?" he asked. "I need to get to Olympus as soon as possible." I told him."I'm sorry I don't know what you're talking about." I laid my sword on his desk. He pointed to the elevator. "Six-hundreth floor." He said. I grabbed my sword and went in the elevator.I pushed the button for the 600th floor and the elevator shot me up like I was in a rocket. When it stopped I was standing in the throne room. The gods were each twenty-feet tall and were talking about something. "I am here to challenge Zeus." I said loud enough for everyone to room fell silent. Then the gods cracked up laughing except for two. The one I was certain was Hermes pointed towards the one in the middle.I charged and stabbed his foot. He yelled out in pain and the laughter stopped. I slashed him five more times before he stood up and brought out his lightning bolt. He aimed it at me and I jumped straight up. The lighting reflected off a mirror and hit Zeus in the chest. Zeus went flying 50 yards and slammed into the wall. He shrunk down to mortal size and glared at me. His bolt vanished and a dagger appeared in his hand."You can't kill a god!" He exclaimed. "Your right, gods can't be killed, but they can be hurt." I told him and then I charged. Zeus blocked my shot and tried to stab out my left eye but I bent backwards and stabbed his leg. This time he tried to stab my right eye and ended up slashing me instead."Duck!" I heard the voice from my dream yell. I did and a trident flew past my head and hit Zeus in the stomach. He dropped to his knees and clutched his stomach. "You win for now but mark my words I will get you for this Lilly Jackson!"Lightning flashed in front of me and I was standing in front of the door to our apartment. I put away my sword and walked inside.
(Lilly's flashback has ended.)
"Lilly?" Percy asked.
"What?" I asked.
"You've been silent for ten minutes, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Wait a minute you weren't there the morning you got the scar and your eye was all bloody. What happened?"
(Continued to her flashback)
I put away my sword and walked inside." Lilly Jackson where have you been?" My mother demanded. "I was... at a friend's house." I said casually.I went over to the sink and washed off my eye untill all that was left was the scar that's there to this day.I still couldn't belive all that had happened and how I knew how to fight, oh well. Percy walked in the living room." Lilly!" He said as soon as he saw me, he tackle hugged me. What surprised me the most is that he actually pronounced it correctly."Lilly you weren't here when I woke up and that was over 6 hours ago!" Mom said. I looked at my watch. It was 3:30 P.M. "I haven't seen her in a while and her parents picked me up at 8:45 A.M." I lied. "Why didn't you tell me ?" She asked obviously upset. "I didn't know until this morning and I didn't want to wake you." I said. Percy had his back turned. I showed mom my palm and summoned the symbol that stood for Olympus. She was about to say something but I put my finger to my lips and gestured to Percy. She nodded.
Lilly's Flashback has ended.
" I was at my friend's house remeber."I told Percy.
"What happened to your eye?"He asked.
"Her cat scratched me." I said.
"That's a mean kitty."He decided.
"Duh."I said. Percy laughed. I laid my head on my pillow and closed my eyes. If I could change the choice that got me that scar I wouldn't. I'd do anything for Percy.
