I was sitting on the beach at camp half blood reading this amazing song my friend wrote and gave to me before I left for camp. I set it aside fell back on the sand ,closed my eyes and just played with the waves. I was so lost in serenity I didn't hear when someone said,
"Eh hem. "
"Hm?" I answer dreamily.
"Alice!"Percy shouted humorously.
"Oh sorry Percy just um ..."I stuttered not wanting to say it but knew he knew what it was.
"Daydreaming again ?" he asked smirking
"Yeah." I sighed, Percy was my "powers" trainer and also my half-brother but I swear we get along so well it's like he's my actual brother. Anyway Chiron decided that new half-bloods that come in to camp should be taught how to use their powers properly by their half-siblings. (sigh) Why did Percy have to be so cute, my half-brother ,and married?
"Anyway , Chiron wants to see you at the big house." Percy laughed.
"Kay thanks. "I gathered up my stuff and ran to the big house I blushed and smiled as I passed Percy I hoped he didn't notice.
_As I walked up to the big house I saw the sweet Chiron in his wheelchair form smiling but clearly hiding a worried look for my sake. I knew something was up, but decided to play along and not say anything.
"Alice please come in "He gestured. He lead me into a small meeting room with a table where there only sat Dionysus in his typical tiger print Hawaiian shirt .
"Mr. D" I said out of respect and took a seat
"Now Alice," said Chiron " there's something your parents and we should have told you a long time ago."
"Ok" I responded this was big oh gods, I could just tell.
"Just come out with it Chiron tell the little brat so we can move on" said Mr.D clearly annoyed.
" This is a touchy subject ," he sighed " but fine , ok you have a twin sister" he said calmly.
"What!" I shouted in shock I would never yell at Chiron but this was an exception I was just about to tell him off when he said.
"Listen I know your upset, but hear me out " he said in that soothing way that calms you down
"Fine "I groaned.
"Thank you, now let me start from the beginning. When you were little , Zeus got really mad because he knew your father had broken the oath . So while he went up to try to reason with him your mother was going to hide you to keep you out of harm's way. But it was very hard for her to hide both of you so she took you and put your sister in an orphanage hoping that would keep her safe. It did ,and your mother successfully was able to raise you and protect you while your father kept a watchful eye on your sister ,oh by the way her name is Rose keeping your mom up dated. Well she finally got adopted about a year ago and soon-. "
"Wait" I butted in " since she's a demigod wouldn't she be fighting off monsters and not knowing why?"
"Yes but she didn't get her powers yet. I know what you're thinking how can she have not gotten her powers yet if you're twins and you already got yours . Well your just a little bit older than her so her powers won't start to come in for about a week."
"Oh" was all I could say.
" But here's where you come in I'm deciding to send you on a quest to go find her and bring her back to camp"
"Thank you Chiron!"I said and ran up to hug him This was so cool that's all I've wanted since I started coming here two summers ago.
"We can't send you alone so we are sending Percy , Annabeth , and Grover along with you ,"he said "they already know the details and are waiting for you outside go on."
"Thanks again" I yelled as I ran out the door happy as can be than started to think about what I was just told how could mom and dad keep this from me my thought process was interrupted when Annabeth shouted "Alice!" and ran up to hug me.
"Annabeth!" I yelled excite to see her.
"Alice you must feel so scared and confused "she hugged me harder
"I'm fine "I reassured her and myself "It's just I can't believe my dad would keep this from me"
"It's ok you can talk about it with him tomorrow he's coming for your birthday party "Percy assured me walking up behind her.
"Yeah "Said a voice in the background
"Grover? Is that you? Come here, how's my favorite goat boy?" I asked hugging him.
"Hey Alice I'm fine a little hungry but fine" he laughed
"You're always hungry, but I have just the thing "I reached into my bag and pulled out a tin can.
"Thanks "he said stuffing himself with the treat.
"And for Percy..."I said rummaging through my bag "I made a detour stop at your mom's before I came here and she gave me some.."
"Blue Candy!" he shouted with excitement.
"Wow I've never seen candy make a grown man so happy "I laughed
"Ha ha," said Percy sarcastically stuffing his face " but you know we have to talk about.." mumbling with his mouth full
"Stop or you're going to choke seaweed brain" Annabeth said hitting him
"Oh yeah wise girl I didn't see you get anything "Percy retorted
" Guys ,guys and last but not least for Annabeth" I held out a book of Daedalus's greatest architecture all in Greek.
"Oh my gosh where did you get this! I've been looking for it everywhere. "she exclaimed
" My class took a trip to Greece for a week and when I saw it screamed you."I smiled
"Now that this little reunion is over we've got planning to do" announced Percy "for our trip we'll leave right after Alice's party tomorrow come on let us plan"
"Just like old times" Grover laughed
