A/N First of all we're going to assume that Magnus is her only relative to her dad's side we're also going to assume that her step-mom has a few siblings and they have kids. Also we're assuming that Annabeth hasn't told her dad about her and Percy dating and didn't tell him about Tarterus. Oh and this happens the winter after the battle with Gaea. Also Annabeth's step-mom's name is Helen. Also Leo's birthday is May 5th.

Annabeth's POV

Annabeth's palms were sweaty as she reached for the doorknob. This was it; she was going to tell them her entire family about her and Percy, so hopefully they wouldn't believe the lies her step-mom, Helen, had fed them, making her seem like some sort of freak. Percy was coming to Christmas Eve dinner along with most of her step-moms family. Helen had three siblings and each was married and had a few kids but Annabeth was the 2nd oldest of all of the 13 kids in the family.

Annabeth heard the doorbell ring. She hoped it was Percy, but it was just some of her step-cousins. She was home for Christmas break from New York were she was staying with Percy and going to school with him. They had drove to California with Percy's Mom and Paul; they had dropped her off in San Francisco and then spend the week with Paul's brother who lived in LA. Annabeth had convinced her dad to let a friend spend Christmas Eve dinner with them, and Helen had agreed, but it was her Christmas present from her.

She heard shouts as her step-mom let in her brother and his wife and 4 kids: James 18, Molly 16, Tyler 15, and Sarah 13. She hated them because they hated her because of the lies her step-mom had fed them. They had traveled from Chicago and were spending a few nights at their house and Annabeth was not happy that Molly and Sarah had to sleep in HER room with her. Ever Tarterus she had had bad nightmares. When she stayed with Percy it was all right, but at home it was embarrassing.

Annabeth listened as Molly asked were she should put her bags. When her step-mom told her that she was sleeping with Annabeth. Molly groaned and said, "I rather sleep outside than sleep with that freak!" Annabeth sighed as the words stung her, letting a single fall from her eye.

Sarah's POV

Sarah was tired after their four-hour plane ride. They had traveled from Chicago to Spend Christmas with her Aunt Helen and Uncle Fredrick and their two kids. Her Uncle had a daughter with another woman named Annabeth who was 17 and was rarely ever home. She attended school in New York and Sarah secretly hoped that's where she was today. She had never met her but her parents told all these stories about how she ran away when she was 7, and they heard nothing from her until more than 6 years later and 4 kids show up at the door and told them Annabeth had been staying at some camp and she had disappeared, most likely kidnapped, and they wanted their help finding her. Her Aunt had told her that Annabeth was not normal and her mom was part of this group of freaks that went around having children with people and then these kids went to tis camp were they were taught violence, fighting and were sent our to do tasks for their parents. Her aunt said she didn't like having her around because when she was around weird people started showing up at the house . Her dad told her to be careful around her and never be alone in the same room as her just in case Annabeth attacked her. "I don't know what they teach these kids at this violence camp, so stay away from her." Deep down inside Sarah felt sorry for Annabeth.

Sarah's dad pulled up in to the driveway. Sarah hopped out of the car, and grabbed her backpack, and headed for the door, the rest of her family in pursuit. She rang the doorbell and her cousin Bobby answered the door. After quick greetings, Molly asked where she could take her bag. "Oh you and Sarah will be sleeping with Annabeth. She is home for the week and it was the only sleeping arrangement we could come up with. Annabeth has promised to behave and we even took away her dagger, though she claims it's harmless. Believe me she's not to happy about the arrangement either."

Molly looked horrified, "I'd rather sleep outside than sleep with that freak!" She exclaimed.

"Molly stop you haven't even met her, you don't even know her!"

Molly looked about read to snap back when the doorbell rang again. It was the rest of her cousins who had driven from Sacramento. First was her Uncle David and Aunt Sydney with there four kids, Chloe 9, Mark 8 Sam and Sophie twins age 6, Followed by Her Uncle Jerry and Aunt Leah and their two daughters Cassie 16, and Lily 11. She greeted them and they headed to they living room. Sarah said hello to Lily her favorite cousin when Uncle Jerry asked the question that was on everybody's mind, "Is Fredrick's daughter still living with you?"

Aunt Helen replied before Uncle Fredrick could say any thing "Oh, well she is attending school in New York but she's home for the Holidays. She's upstairs, but I'll have her come down and say hello. Annabeth come down and say hello to your cousins." Her Aunt yelled up the stairs. Sarah heard a door slam and the thumping of someone coming down the stairs and her cousin came into view. "They're not my real cousins, they're my step cousins. If I wanted to see my real cousins I'd have to go back to New York"

Sarah was surprised. Annabeth was nothing like she imagined. She wasn't sure what she though Annabeth would look like but this was not it. She was pretty but in an odd sort of way. She was tall and well muscled. Her wavy, honey-blond hair was pulled up into a ponytail, revealing a pair of stern grey eyes. She had a leather necklace with beads around her neck. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a shirt that said TEAM LEO. In smaller print it said May 5th 1998 – August 1st 2014- We'll miss you repair boy. Annabeth stopped on the landing and looked over everyone with a frown. She went the rest of the way down the stairs and came into the living room. Everybody introduced himself or herself, and Annabeth looked over each person accessing them.

After introductions Annabeth sat down on the couch next to Sarah, saying nothing. "So how's school?" Sarah asked breaking the silence.

"Oh, good I guess. I'm taking this class called IED, or Introduction to Engineering Design, that is really cool and I'm learning how to use computer software to design stuff. I'm also taking a few math and physics classes, which are pretty cool. I want to be an Architect and design monuments and stuff. I once accidently broke a bridge and I got the chance to design and rebuild it with help from my friend Leo."

"What's TEAM LEO?" Sarah asked, but as soon as the words came out her mouth she knew it was bad question. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"It's ok I want everyone to know the truth, not the lies Helen has told you. Leo was this kid who was a friend of mine. He went to this camp I got to. We were distantly related, like I am to most of the people who go to this camp. Anyway, the reason we go to this camp is there are people who want us dead, and we learn to protect ourselves. Once we were attacked, and Leo sacrificed himself to save everyone in the camp and most of the people in the surrounding areas. Leo went after every girl who was out of his league and once he created this thing called Team Leo to try to get girls. We use it to remember his sacrifice, and when someone makes a huge sacrifice they become a member."

"Are you a member?"

"Yes."

"What was your sacrifice?"

" I don't like to talk about. Not even my dad knows, but we're going to tell him today."

"Who's we?"

"Me and my friend Percy, he's coming to dinner," Annabeth said as the doorbell rang. "That's probably him, hold on."
