Percy's Sister
Chapter one:
The Big Surprise
Trina's pov
I woke with a start in a room that seemed like a dream. There were orbs just floating in the air that provide light and the walls seemed like they were made from rock from the sea. And I was lying on a bed that was so soft; it felt like I was just floating on water. When I turned to my left, there was a boy about 18 sitting in a chair looking at me with a look that looked like I had just cost him something very important. He had black hair and green eyes that pierced me so much that I just had to look away. Finally, I looked down at my legs and I didn't have any cuts. That was the least surprising part of what was about to happen to me.
"This must be a dream," I thought.
"It isn't," said the boy in the chair. I had not realized I had been talking out loud.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Percy," he asked."What's your name?"
"Trina," I said. "Trina Clark."
Just then a hammerhead shark swam through the room and I pressed myself against the wall not making a sound, hoping it wouldn't notice me.
"What are you doing?" said Percy
"Trying not to be shark chow!" I exclaimed.
"He won't hurt you," said Percy "Especially considering who you are."
"Who am I? I'm just a teenager from a rural town out in the middle of nowhere!" I said "I'm practically the definition of a nobody!"
"So clueless," Percy mumbled to himself. "They always are at the beginning."
"Who's clueless?" I asked
"You and all of the other kids like you," he answered.
"What do you mean 'like me'?" I said.
"Have you ever heard of the ancient Greek gods?" he asked.
"Yeah but what's that got to do with it?" I asked.
"Well even though they lived a long time ago, they're still around," he said very seriously.
"What do you mean?" I asked, thinking he was just going to pull a prank on me.
"Well there's this thing called Western Civilization that they follow," he said "They live wherever the flame of Western Civilization is the brightest. For example, they first lived in Greece, where Western Civilization started. Then they moved to Rome, where all the activity and new ideas were being formed. Then they moved to the next strongest place and the next. Now they're in the United States."
"And your point is?" I asked, still not getting where he was going.
"Sometimes, they have children with mortals. And seeing as your still alive, even being down in the bottom of the ocean, I think you are too," he said.
"You're saying that these children of the gods-"
"Demigods"
"Demigods can survive in the bottom of the ocean?" I went along with his joke thinking it would only go for a little while longer.
"Some can. Like me and like you," he said.
"So you're a demigod," I said. "And you think I'm one too."
"Yeah pretty much," he said.
"Well Mr. Crazy, I'm just going to back away slowly and hope that I never see you again." I said as I bolted out the door, hoping that I would wake up from this crazy dream. But as I entered what looked like a courtyard, I was breath taken by what I saw.
