Hey guys! This is so exciting! Finally posting my Percy Jackson fanfic. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it. Also today is the birthday of everyone who is called Helene. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THE HELENE'S IN THE WORLD! I won't talk anymore since that's not what you came here for. Just to make it clear, I sadly do not own Percy Jackson but I own the characters I made up. Now to my story!

I am walking on the beach at Camp Half-Blood with my girlfriend Annabeth. I am holding her hand and staring into her beautiful grey eyes. Her blond hair is shining in the sun. She is simply stunning. I smile at her and she starts to laugh. I love her so much. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost her in the battle against Kronos. I would have died if she didn't come and intercept the knife that was about to stab me in my weak point from the curse of Achilles. She saved me and she is the best thing that ever happened to me. Plus, after being apart for 6 months, I won't let her out of my sight ever again.

I picked up a sea shell that was in the shape of a heart. I gave it to Annabeth and she kissed me on the cheek. I smiled and wished this day would never end, that the sun would never go down and that we could walk together forever. I saw a man and a teenager further away. They were talking but I couldn't catch a word of their conversation. I looked closer and realized one of them was my father Poseidon.

"What's wrong Percy?" asked Annabeth.

"That's my dad over there talking" I replied.

She looked in that direction and saw him too.

"What are we waiting for to go see him?" she said with a smile.

"But..."

I never finished my sentence. She was pulling me by the hand towards my dad and the teenager he was talking to. I was wondering who he was. Annabeth was laughing and I couldn't help but be happy too. We caught up to my dad.

"Percy what a nice surprise. How are you my son?" asked Poseidon.

"Eh good thanks, what about you?" I replied.

"Not bad thank you" replied Poseidon with a laugh. "I would like to introduce you to a special someone".

He turned towards the young man. He had blond hair and sea blue eyes. He was slim but appeared to be strong.

"This is Zale" started my father.

I shook his hand.

"I'm Percy" I replied.

"This is your... " he swallowed loudly and paused for a moment.

"Brother" Zale finished with a smile.

Wow I did not see that coming. I was pretty surprised. Annabeth squeezed my hand. I held on tight and looked at her to say I was okay.

"Great" I said without real enthusiasm.

"I love your name Zale" said Annabeth to change the subject. "What does it mean?".

"It means strength of the sea" replied Zale proudly.

Annabeth nodded because she understood since he was the son of the sea god, that his name made sense. I didn't dare look in the direction of my father. Zale looked older than me and I never knew he existed before today. I felt betrayed and frustrated. Why was my father always hiding information like this from me? He never tells me anything. I deserve better than this.

"Nice to finally meet you Zale. Father." I nodded in his direction and left with Annabeth still holding my hand.

"Percy that was a little rude" said Annabeth.

"I'm sorry sweetie. It's just that I hate having secrets hidden from me. I have a brother and nobody ever told me. It's just really frustrating" I replied.

"I understand" said Annabeth.

"Thank you for being there for me". I kissed her hand and she smiled.

We walked back to my cabin to get a sweatshirt because Annabeth was getting cold. My cabin is only occupied by Tyson and I. Although today, I saw a third bed in the room and some clothes and accessories. Great I thought, now Zale is my "new" brother and roommate. How can this be any worse? I took out a hoodie from a drawer. I was making my way back outside to meet Annabeth when the door opened. It was Zale.

"Hey Percy. What are we going to do?" asked Zale.

I couldn't help but laugh a bit. He seriously thinks I'm going to hang out with him? After all this time he never tried to reach out to me and he thinks he can just walk in my life and be my best friend? Not working with this Percy Jackson that's for sure.

"Forget it Zale" I said hastily. "I am spending the afternoon with my girlfriend ALONE"!

I replied insisting on the word alone. I might have been a bit harsh but I'm mad at my dad and at Zale too. He could have made an effort to find me or something. I saw him lower his head and he replied:

"Oh I see. Sorry for interfering".

He walked to his bed, laid down and turned away to face the wall. Now thanks to him I feel bad. It's not his fault. He maybe didn't know he had a brother too.

"Are you coming Percy?" asked Annabeth through the door.

"Yes sorry" I replied.

I walked to the door and put my hand on the door knob. I suddenly turned because I did want to know something.

"Zale, did you know about me? Did my father ever tell you before you had a brother here?" I asked.

He turned towards me and I saw his face. He probably was trying hard to hold back some tears.

"Percy, the thing is that I knew I had a brother. That's why I wasn't as surprised as you were when we met. However, I didn't know where my brother was or what his name was".

"Where's my father?" I asked.

"He left when he understood you wouldn't come back to hear the story".

"What story?" I asked now curious.

"He wanted both of us to hear it at the same time so I don't know the story. It's probably about why he never told us about one another" replied Zale emotionless.

He turned around again and I knew my interrogation was over. I learned a bit of information but nothing explains how my dad acted. I opened the door and when I reached Annabeth, I handed her the hoodie.

"Thank you honey. What took you so long?" asked Annabeth.

"My brother came and we talked a bit" I answered.

I didn't really want to talk about it. It was bad enough my dad hid it from me all those years. I didn't need to find other reasons to be mad. Annabeth knows that when I don't give much details, that she should change the subject.

"So what do you want to do?" she asked me.

"Want to go for a swim? I could really use a bath" I said as a joke.

"I totally agree" said Annabeth laughing.

She started to run towards the beach. I followed her as fast as I could. I caught her and wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. I lifted her up and I ran for the water.

"Put me down Percy" she said with a laugh.

"As you wish my lady" I replied as I threw her in the water.

I started laughing and forgot my problems with my dad for a little while. Annabeth popped back to the surface, her clothes and hair all wet.

"I am so getting my revenge on you seaweed brain" she replied.

That's the nickname she always called me when we were younger. It brings a smile to my face. So much battles and memories we went through. I get closer to her and whispered in her ear:

"I love you too Annabeth".

I kiss her on the lips and I'm in heaven. We separate and she hugs me tight. The sun is going down so we decide to get out of the water to dry. I'm not wet because I'm the son of the sea god but Annabeth is and I'm declared guilty. She's not mad but I probably still have to watch my back in case. I take her hand and we walk to her cabin. I wait for her outside while she changes in dry clothes. When she comes out, I take her hand and we go sit on a picnic table. We talk a little and she finally asks the question I was dreading to hear:

"What are you going to do about your father and Zale?"

"I don't know" I answer. "I'm not ready to forgive or forget what my dad did for now. Zale knew he had a brother but didn't know where I was or what my name was, so I guess I should give him a chance".

"That's a great idea" says Annabeth giving me her beautiful smile.

"You know I can't say no to something when you make that face?" I reply smiling back.

"I know" she says. "That's why I use it".

She kisses me on the cheek and says:

"Chiron asked me to go see him when I have the time. See you later".

This is it for today guys. I wonder why Chiron wants to talk to Annabeth. Or if Percy will actually go through with making things work with his brother. Thanks again for reading and don't forget to review. Since my whole story is already written, the next chapter shouldn't be too long. Some encouragement would maybe make the process faster. Lol just saying. Love you all and keep reading. You guys are awesome.
