Chapter 1

*PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS A GOOD STORY! I've been having doubts, but I'm going with my gut, so feel free to tell me if this is yay or nay! =) R&R

In the distance, a conch horn blew. Annabeth and Percy was goofing off, laughing hysterically. Grover was with Juniper, talking about saving the wilderness. Jason and Piper were playing basketball and Jason was getting his butt beat. Leo was in the forge where he was helping Harley with an invisible shield. Tyson was also in the forge, except his project was repairing Percy's wrist watch shield – again. Frank was teaching Hazel how to shoot an arrow. Everything stopped and looked towards Chiron. It wasn't time for dinner yet, but everyone walked towards the Big House, whispering theory's about why he blew the conch horn.

Chiron's face was pale as if he had a bad reason to blow the horn. Mr. D was sitting on the porch, grimmer than usual. He kept glancing at the porch swing that no one could see because of Chiron. After thirty seconds of whispering, Percy finally spoke up.

"What's up?"

"Percy, Tyson, come here," he said.

With confused looks, Percy and Tyson walked towards Chiron up the stairs. When they stood next to him, they saw what was on the porch swing. There was a 14 year old girl with long blonde hair that was layered and straightened. She looked like she'd been in an explosion because her face still had traces of soot on it. She had a white long sleeve button up with a black tie tied around her neck. Her pants were baggy black cargos, and she was wearing black converse.

"What makes you think that?" Percy asked.

Chiron stepped out of the way for everyone to see and they all gasped because right when Chiron moved, a green glowing trident appeared above her head. Rachel Elizabeth Dare stepped out from the crowd and her eyes glowed green. She began saying words in a voice that was like three of her talking at the same time.

Water, sky, and death shall collide,

To break the forces that are twined.

Each more powerful than their brothers,

To Atlas's will they must uncover.

Rachel collapsed, but luckily, three Apollo kids were already there, two catching her and the other grabbing a stool so she could sit on it. Chiron's face got paler. The girl opened her eyes slowly. She ran her hand through her hair and looked around while sitting up. She looked at Percy and Tyson, but they could tell she wasn't fully awake yet. She looked towards the crowd and then at Chiron. She tilted her head with a confused look.

He walked over to her. "Hello, I'm Chiron."

"Rue Brooke," she said. "Why are you half horse?"

Chiron chuckled. "Why are you wearing a tie?"

She looked at her tie then back at Chiron. "You didn't answer my question."

He chuckled again. "Come, you have much to learn. Let's see, who should show you around…? Percy, you and Annabeth are going to show Rue around, since she is your sister and all."

"Ok," Percy said. Rue stood up when Percy told her to come on. She followed him down the stairs. Everyone was staring at them, even as they walked away. Percy walked towards Annabeth while Tyson was following them.

"I'm Annabeth," Annabeth said.

"Rue," she said.

"Do you remember how you got here?"

Rue shook her head. "I just remember I was ditching school and then – nothing."

"You are Poseidon's kid," Annabeth said, with a smile on her face. "Percy ditches all the time."

"Not all the time!" Percy said defensively. "Only in Civics and Math!"

Tyson was smiling. His eyes were doing a little happy dance.

"I got a sister!" he said happily. He picked her up and gave her a hug – well, more like squeezing her.

She didn't know what to do. Rue was an inch or two shorter than Annabeth, but Annabeth was a head or two shorter than Tyson.

"Can't … breathe…." She said.

Tyson set her down. "Oops," he said with a smile on his face, "sorry."

She gave him a thumbs up. She fixed her tie, which had flown around her shoulder. She turned it straight and loosened it like a girl wears it. There was an awkward silence, and all of Poseidon's kids shifted uncomfortably and they didn't notice that. Annabeth did. She gave them a funny look.

"Um… ok," she said.

"What?" Percy asked.

"Did you not notice that?"

"Notice what?"

"Never mind. Uh, come one, Rue."

They showed her everything and they saved the best for last: Percy's, Tyson's, and her cabin. When they opened the door, her mouth dropped.

"Where's the floor?" she asked.

Percy and Tyson blushed. They shifted the exact same way, and this time, Rue noticed it.

"That's creepy," she muttered to Annabeth.

"Yea, and just a minute ago, you did that too," Annabeth told her.

Rue's green eyes were confused.

"Must be a Poseidon thing," Annabeth mumbled to herself. "You guys do know that they're checking cabins in 15 minutes, right?"

Percy and Tyson ran inside and began shoving stuff under beds, in drawers, and in closets. Rue silently gagged. Annabeth laughed.

Percy, who was trying to close a closet door that couldn't close because of all the dirty boxers and socks stuffed in there, said, "That's your room." He pointed to a door by the two bunk beds. "There isn't anything in there because every time we put something in there, Dad would make it come back on the bed of who ever put it in there when we closed the door. I guess he wanted us to save it for you or something. Tyson tried sleeping in there one night, but right when he fell asleep, he poofed in here on the bottom bunk. We didn't notice it until the next morning. "

Rue walked in the room and noticed it was pretty nice. The walls were a bluish green, like all of them, with a white ceiling. On the wall was a mural of the ocean, and it looked like it was moving. The waves crashed against the rocks, as if saying hello. It smelled like the sea in there. Her bed had a seashell design on the comforter and her sheets were blue green. The bed posts were white. There was a white dresser by the window, which had white curtains. There was an open door that led to a private bathroom, since she saw that the guy's one was in their room. She had a glossy hard wood floor. There was a glass sliding door to outside to a lake. The Poseidon cabin had a pier were you could walk out to the edge and put your feet in.

Rue went over and opened one of the drawers to find it full of orange shirts and regular shirts in her size. She closed that drawer and found some shorts like Annabeth and every other girl was wearing.

"Do you like it?" Annabeth asked.

Rue jumped because she didn't expect anyone was in there with her. "Yea," she said, "it's nice."

"You're lucky. I have to share my room with 3 other girls that are all younger than me and some of my brothers live across the hall are obnoxious. Just wait, once you're here a few days, you'll get the hang of things. Oh crap."

"What?"

"We forgot to get you a weapon. Come on, I think I know just the thing."

When they stepped outside, there was this sword lying on the ground. Rue picked it up and the tag said To Rue. On the sword read τυφώνας, which meant Hurricane.

"Well," Annabeth said, "never mind. It seems you already have one."

Rue smiled and looked at the tag. It said: flip sword midair. Rue threw the sword up and made it flip. It came down as an iPhone with head phones.

"Awesome!" Rue said.

"Percy's turns into a pen, Jason's turns into a coin, and yours turns into a phone," Annabeth said. "This place is messed up."

When they walked back inside, Rue saw a guy on the pier fishing. "Who's that?" she asked.

When the guys looked, they smiled and simultaneously said, "Dad!"

They ran out there. Annabeth and Rue followed. Poseidon turned around and smiled. He gave Percy a hug, Tyson a hug, and Rue a hug.

"It's about time you got here!" Poseidon said. "Can I ask you a question in private real quick?"

"Sure," Rue said.

Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson walked off.

"Why did you get arrested?" he whispered.

Rue laughed a Dang-it-I'm-busted laugh. "See, I wasn't the only one, but… it was an accident!"

"So spray painting Mallory Is a Loser during a school play is an accident and ripping out the plugs to your school gym is an accident?"

"Yes, yes it is," Rue said, trying not to smile.

Poseidon smiled. "You, Percy, and Tyson; you three are a crazy bunch!"

Rue laughed. They walked inside the cabin to where the guy's bedroom was. When Poseidon saw the clothes under the bed, he crinkled his nose.

"Seriously, I clean better than this! And I'm not supposed to clean!"
