Annabeth POV.

It all started last Friday. I woke up with such excitement. It was our last date until we would have our wedding, and I wanted to surprise Percy. I started to fix myself up. I dolled up my face with makeup and puffed my hair into a bun. Percy would love my new hairstyle. I was thinking about what to do for Percy. Maybe a blue cake? I thought. A blue cake would probably be too big of a process. Maybe a blue cupcake? I thought. I knew how to make cupcakes pretty good. A blue cupcake would probably be a great surprise, so I decided on that. I snuck out to the kitchen where, us demigods, try out recipes and things.

After an hour or so, there were two perfectly-made blue cupcakes for me and Percy. I fumbled through the cabinets for my blue plates. I placed the treat on the plate. Suddenly I heard a startling voice. "Annabeth? Why up so early?" Chiron asked me. He was standing in a pile of flour that I had accidently spilled. "I was just making something for Percy." I admitted. Chiron kicked the flour around. "I'll clean this. Anyway, your wedding is in two weeks." Chiron smiled. I blushed. "Yeah. I still haven't gotten my dress." I laughed. "Well, good luck with the desserts." Chiron waved and clomped back to the big house. I held the cupcakes in my hands, and made my way to Percy cabin.

I knocked loudly, hoping Percy would wake up. I heard silence, so I let myself in. My eyes widened and I dropped the cupcakes. I gasped at the sight I saw. There was a girl knew...a girl that was my half-sister, Robin Chase. She had black braided hair and was sitting next to Percy on his bed. Her braids were swung onto her shoulders. She leaned over and kissed Percy lightly. I noticed Percy trying to scoot away. "Robin!" I snapped. My half-sister swatted her head to me. "Annabeth!" She yelled. "What are you doing?" I yelled back. Robin grinned. "He's a great kisser." I felt my anger rise up. My hate towards Robin got heated. "Robin, get out...NOW." I firmly said. Robin snickered. "Okay." Robin snuck out of the cabin. I turned around and stared out the window.

Percy scratched his head. "Annabeth...?"

"Shut up, Percy." I said, keeping my eyes on the horizon. "Annabeth,...listen. I didn't mean to-"

"I said to shut up." I felt my anger loosen up. "C'mon. I know what just happened and-"

"Will this shut your face up?" I spun around and grabbed Percy by the shirt, my face one inch from his. "Um...okay..." Percy looked my face over and blushed. I leaned in...
and slapped in across his face. I laughed. "You totally thought I was gonna kiss you." I snickered. Percy turned red. "Did not!"

"Oh...tell that to the gods." Percy \rolled his eyes. "Fine...maybe I did." He crossed his arms. "How about this time?" I leaned in keeping my face close to his. "Oh no...I am NOT falling for it again." Percy scooted back. "You really should." I hopped into Percy lap and watched his face as my lips met his. He grabbed my neck and pulled me closer. "Okay...so you're not mad?" He asked after I backed my face away from his.

"No...I know you would never do something like that. Well...you probably would, but not to me." I smiled. Percy laughed. "Exactly." He kissed me again. "Stop." I gently put my hand to his broad chest. "I need to have a chat with Robin before we do that."

I slowly backed away, smiled, and left the cabin. When I got to my cabin, Robin was snickering. "How long did you yell at him?" She grinned. "Robin, will you grow up?" I grumbled as I climbed the ladder up to my bunk. Robin stared at me. "If you don't know already, I'm way older than you. I'm twenty-four and you're only nineteen and Percy's twenty-one. He should be dating me. Not you." I cocked my head to the side. "Plus, I know Percy much better than you." She untied her braided hair. "What do know about Percy?" I asked. "That he's hot."

"Shut up!" I yelled. "But really, I know a lot of things about Percy. I know that he has a sister." I stopped climbing to my bunk. "A sister?" I asked. "Yeah. Her name is Julia. Bet you didn't know that." Robin waved her black hair out of her face. "I'll be back..." I back-flipped off the ladder and landed better than a professional gymnast. I rushed out of the cabin and ran to Percy's.

"Percy?" I asked when I opened the door. "Yeah?" Percy smiled. "Do you have a...a sister?" I asked quietly. Percy's eyes widened. "Who told you?" He asked me with a pinch of fear in the back of his words. "Robin." I said. "I knew I couldn't trust her. Annabeth, you weren't supposed to know." He shook his head. "Have I met her?" I asked. Percy held his face in his hands. "No. And...she's not my sister anymore." Percy barely whispered.

"Well, how come-"

"She died three years ago. And she was Sally and Gabe's kid." Percy looked up at me. I felt guilt rush over my shoulders. "Julia died? How?" I asked. Percy shook his head. "Julia could see through the mist like Rachel can. Kronos didn't think that she should be able to know about him our me or anything. So he killed her with an earthquake." An awkward silence filled the room. Percy spoke up before I could though. "Go check with the Oracle. Chiron told me to tell you."
