"What are you talking about Percy?" Sara asked her friend.
"I'm saying that you're a demi-god. Half human, half God!"
"You're nuts. Completely crazy. There ARE no Gods! Those Greek Gods are just myths!"
"Then how do you explain your powers? You didn't fall into a vat of radioactive waste!"
Percy wouldn't leave Sara alone. He insisted that she was the daughter of Poseidon. He also claimed that he was the son of Poseidon, which meant they were related! She had just met Percy a week ago, and suddenly he's claiming she's his sister?
"Look Percy! I have no idea what your saying- but I know that I'm NOT related to you- OR the God of the Sea! Besides, you don't have any proof!"
"You want to see proof?" Percy challenged. "Come to my house after school. I'll give you proof."
She nodded, and Percy walked to his next class.
Sara sat through math thinking about what Percy had said.
What if he's telling the truth? Maybe I should visit that camp he was talking about… Sara thought.
But we're best friends. Even though we've only been friends for a week, I feel like I've known him forever. Maybe that's the brother-sister connection? Nah. I'll just visit him later.
Math class ended, which also meant tonight she would have 3 pages of bookwork. She walked through the halls, until she reached the bathroom. She locked herself in a stall. Putting her books on the floor, she opened the palm of her hand. A little wave of water pushed across her palm once she summoned it.
Maybe Percy's right. Maybe I am special.
For years she had wondered what her powers had meant, or if she was simply going crazy. Percy had explained why she hadn't ever met her father, and why her mother never talked about him.
She ran to English class.
Percy is in my English class. "Great."
She sat down, pulling out her assignment from the previous night. She noticed Percy had walked in, and sat across from her so that he was facing her.
She purposely ignored him.
After the first ten minutes of class, she looked up. Percy was looking down at his papers.
Mannnn. She thought. Look at those blue eyes. He's so hot. WAIT.. what am I saying? HE could be my brother!
She had the same deep blue eyes too. Her mother always told her that they looked just like her fathers.
Percy noticed her looking, so he lifted his head. She casually looked away. He started to mouth something, so she looked back.
He said, "Daughter. POSEIDON!" He mouthed. She shook her head at him.
"NO!" She mouthed. "NO, NO, NO!"
"What ever." He said back.
After school, she ran as fast as she could down the halls, trying to make it out of the school without Percy seeing her. Sadly though, his locker was right next to the doors of the front of the school. She HAD to eventually pass his locker. As she got closer to his locker, he stood there waiting.
"Great." She said aloud. He smiled and followed her out.
"Hey, sis." He said.
"Nope. This can't be happening. We are NOT related." She said.
He said, "Look. This is as shocking for me as it is for you! I've never guessed that I could have a sister!"
"I'm sorry Percy. But this is just… weird. Let me see your proof."
They walked until they reached Percy's small apartment complex. Percy pulled out his key and unlocked the door.
"Home sweet home. Mom won't be home for a while. She's working late at the candy shop." He said.
They walked in. Sara looked around. It was really empty. There wasn't much furniture, either.
"Hey, can you go get me a water from the kitchen?" Percy asked with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Sure?" Sara said. She walked into the kitchen. There was someone sitting at the table. He was awfully large, and had a sweatshirt covering his head. His back was facing her. At first she was confused, until she realized this must be an intruder. She quietly opened a drawer and picked up a rolling pin. She tip-toed across the kitchen, and raised the rolling pin up in the air.
SMACK! She smashed the rolling pin down onto his head.
"Ouch." He said. He started to turn around, and what Sara saw was terrifying.
"Oh. My. Gosh. PERCY!" She screamed. Percy came running into the kitchen with a baseball bat in his hand. When he saw the giant, he dropped it and ran over to him, giving him a huge hug.
The giant had one eye. He was a Cyclops.
"Is there something I'm missing here?" Sara asked, shocked.
"Sara! This is my half-brother, Tyson! Tyson, meet Sara, your half- sister!"
HALF WHAT? This thing he called Tyson was her BROTHER? This day couldn't get any weirder.
