Here is the sequel to Sunshine. So here's the long awaited Hermes story.

Disclaimer; I don't own Percy Jackson. I only own Megan, April, Leto Jordan, and Marisol Artemis.

April's POV

Hi! Now Megan's probably told you her side of the story, but this is my story.

My name is April Wheeler. I am seventeen years old. I have red hair and green eyes. I am about five foot seven inches. I know, that's tall for a girl, but my dad is like six foot three inches. I am overweight.

My mom left when I was a baby. I don't remember her.

Louise McCarthy is my arch nemesis. She has ratted me out for a lot of things through kindergarten all the way up to my junior year. I hated her. She always teased me about not having a mom and for being fat.

Like today, I was walking into school with my crippled best friend Alex Wood, when she walked up and said, "Hey, Fatty, it's no wonder your mom left. I would have, too, if I had a daughter as ugly as you."

I ran out of the campus and straight to my secret hiding place in the backyard of my house. I crumpled to the floor and sobbed. I heard the door open. I saw Alex and my dad, James, walk in to the space.

My dad is a plastic surgeon.

My dad asked, "What's wrong, sweetie?"

"She's right. They're all right." I sobbed.

I heard Alex telling my dad about what's been going on at school for years. I never felt the need to tell him because what's the point they are right.

"April, honey, they are not right. You are a very beautiful, very smart girl. I think your mother would be proud to have you as her daughter." My dad said slightly shocked. "In fact I'm sending you to a place where you can get your moral boosted back up. It's for special people like you. So, go pack a few changes of clothes and your toiletries and whatever else you need. Meet me out at the car in ten minutes, okay, you'll love it there."

A few days later we arrived at a huge hill with a pine tree at the top. "We're here." Dad shouted.

I looked around. "There's nothing here." I started to say then I heard a roar.

"April, get out of the car. Go up the hill. Call for help. Those damned monsters have been following us since we got into New York." My dad said pulling my stuff out of the car. "Go. I love you sweetie." Dad drove away.

I cried as I ran up the hill. When I got to the other side I gasped. A valley was down the other side, filled with people everywhere. "Help!" I yelled running down the hill.

A few kids in armor (What the hell) came running up the hill towards the monsters.

Two boys with curly brown hair and eyes that seemed to twinkle with mischievousness ran up to me. "Are you okay?" The shorter one of the two said.

"Are you hurt?" The other one asked.

"I'm fine. But my dad, he . . . he just left me." I guess you could say I got abandonment issues.

I was on the verge of a panic attack when a guy that had the bottom half of him a horse trotted up.

"Who's this?" He asked.

I went into a full on panic attack. I felt someone wrap their arms around me.

"Hey. It's okay. Calm down. Shhh." It was the shorter of the two boys that were there. He rubbed soothing circles on my back. I breathed in his scent to calm down. He smelled like old spice, and a faint smell of paper. "You're okay. Do you mind telling me why you have panic attacks?"

"I've got abandonment issues." I hiccuped.

"And when your dad left you like that it triggered it." he finished.

I stared up at him. "How did you know?"

He laughed. "You kinda just told me."

"No. Not that. How did you know how to calm me down?" I was determined to get my answer.

"Well, about that-" he said but was cut off by someone clearing their throat.

"Well, who's this?" said a girl with two kids next to her. The girl had long black hair pulled up in a braid. The girl was wearing a blue sleeveless top and blue jeans. She had curves that were all in the right places. I was jealous. The two kids were both girls. One had short blonde hair, cut in waves. The other had black hair in a braid like her mom. The blonde haired girl had bright blue eyes. The black haired girl had sky blue eyes, but when she blinked they were sea green.

"I'm April Wheeler. And you are?" I said a little shy.

"I'm Megan. And these little sunshines are Leto Jordan, and Marisol Artemis." She nodded to the blonde when she said Leto Jordan, and to the black haired one when she said Marisol Artemis.

"Mommy? When are seeing Will?" Leto Jordan said exasperated.

A blonde haired boy stepped out from the crowd. He looked about twenty three years old. "Hey my little sisters. How are you?"

The crowd departed when Megan gave a stern look to them.

The girls squealed and ran to him.

"Come on. Let's go to the cabins. I'll give you a tour. You coming, Conner." she shouted over her shoulder as she was dragging me to a big blue house in the valley.

A few hours later, after I got over the shock of the news that I was a demigod, we went on a tour.

I loved the way the dining pavillion was displayed. Megan was nice. Her kids seemed to love me.

"So, You're a son of Hermes." I said to get the conversation going.

"That's right." Connor said.

"You love pranking people?" I asked.

"It's in the job description." He joked.

I laughed.

"And here we have the armoury." Megan said. "You can go in and look for a weapon if you like."

I walked in. There were rows of swords, racks of bows and quivers of arrows, and piles of daggers. I noticed a glowing from the corner. I walked over to it entranced.

It was a silver charm bracelet. It had a caduceus charm on it along with two cup charms, almost like wine glasses. A note shimmered into existence. It read: THE CADUCEUS IS A SWORD. PUT THE TWO CUP CHARMS TOGETHER TO GET A DAGGER. THINK OF WHAT IT IS AND IT WILL APPEAR.

I thought sword, and a gleaming silver sword appeared. It had emeralds and sapphires along the hilt. The handle fit perfectly in my grip. It didn't feel too heavy or too light. I put the two charms together. They barely touched when, all of the sudden, I was holding a silver dagger. It, too, was riveted with emeralds and sapphires.

Megan walked over, took one look at the bracelet, and squealed. "Oh my gods. I have to go."

She started to glow. "Connor, tell Will he can keep the girls tonight, as a favor to me."

"Close your eyes!" Connor shouted from the other side of the room.

I squeezed my eyes shut just in time. I felt a blast of heat then nothing.

"You can open them now." Connor said.

I looked around. "Where did Megan go? She started to glow, now she's gone."

"Oh, right. April, Megan's a goddess." He stated.

I blushed. "You mean . . . That M . . . Megan' goddess." I passed out from shock.

I had a weird dream. It was snowing outside the windows of the house. A little boy was curled up on the window seat. He turned to look at me and I gasped. The little boy had red hair and blue eyes. He was about two years old. He got off the chair and toddled over to me.

"Mama." he said. "Up."

I picked him up. "Who's my big boy? My little stinker." I rubbed noses with him.

I saw a guy walk into the house.

He had curly black hair and the same blue eyes as the little boy. "How's our little stinker?" he asked me. The little boy in my arms leaned over to him.

"Daddy." he cried.

"He tried to steal Apollo's cat, Nia, today. Shoved her right up his shirt." I laughed.

"Takes after his dad, does he?" The guy chuckled. "Did Apollo get mad?"

"No. He just laughed. Said that he was definitely your kid." I said.

The dream started fading in and out.

"She's . . . up. Hurry . . . the . . . nectar." I heard a voice cut through the dream.

I heard one last sentence fragment before I woke up for good.

"I love you my hus-"

My eyes fluttered open.

"Welcome back, April." said the guy/horse from before. "I'm Chiron, the activities director here at Camp Half-Blood. Are you recovered?"

"Yes, I'm fine." I said a little nervous. I heard a horn blow.

"Time for dinner. You've been out for an hour." Chiron said as he helped me off the bed.

I followed him to the dining pavillion. I sat at the Hestia table. All during dinner I was quiet.

Then Chiron banged his hoof on the floor. "Heroes! Listen up!" he shouted over the voices in the hall. Everyone became silent. "Alright, can I have all the unclaimed demigods from cabin 14 that are above the age of 13 come up here."

I got up with one other kid and walked up to Chiron.

I said to the other kid, "You can go first."

The kid stepped forward and got claimed by Demeter.

I stepped up next. I was a little nervous because I was the center of attention.

I felt a blast of heat over my head. I looked up to see a glowing light purple cup floating above my head.

"All hail, April Wheeler, daughter of Hebe, goddess of youth." Chiron said.

I heard squealing coming from a table about five over. A girl with blonde hair and green eyes like mine, and a boy with black hair and blue eyes were waving at me to come over to them. I walked slowly over to them.

The girl was bubbly and hyper. She started talking when I was a few feet away. "Hi. I'm Angel, you're counselor. This is Julian our brother. So this is our schedule. We have-"

She was interrupted by Chiron. "We have parent's day tomorrow. Megan will also be here."

A bunch of cheering came from what I guessed to be the Apollo cabin. All the kids had varying shades of blonde hair and blue eyes. "Yes. Yes. Settle down, please."

I saw that the black haired girl, what was her name, Marisol Artemis? Yeah that's it, was sitting at a table near the front. She was with a boy that had black hair and green eyes. The other one sat near the head of the table of the Apollo cabin.

Chiron continued talking. I tuned back in to hear him say, "Now go off to the campfire for dessert."

We walked off to an amphitheater. I sat down near the Hermes kids. I felt something weird in me. Like it was motherly. Marisol and Leto walked up to me along with the black haired boy and the blonde I had seen them with earlier.

"Hi." said the black haired one. "I'm Percy. You must be April."

I nodded.

"I'm Will Solace." The blonde said.

"Uncle Percy. Uncle Percy." Shrieked Marisol almost in tears.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" asked Percy.

"I want Mommy." she cried.

Percy looked lost. "It's okay." he awkwardly patted her back.

I shook my head. "Need some help?" I asked.

He nodded.

I picked up the little girl. "Hey. Would you like to hear a song?"

The little girl looked at my wrist then back up at me. "Are you a goddess like me and my mommy?" she asked.

"Uh . . . No." I said confused.

"Then how come you have bra-ce-let," she carefully pronounced the word bracelet. "like mommy's, and Aunt Hera's, and Aunt Dite's, and Grandma Trite's, and, Unca Pewrcy? Who else?"

Percy looked quickly at my wrist, then to the little girl. "I think it's bedtime." he announced.

"Awww." The little girl whined. "But I want to know about her bracelet."

"You too, Leto." Percy said to the other little girl who was sneaking off.

"But Unca Pewrcy." The both whined at the same time.

Percy picked them both up into his arms. "Nice meeting you April." He said as he walked off.

I saw Conner and his brother waving at me to come over. I got up and walked over.

"Hi. I'm Travis. Connor's brother. You must be April, daughter of Hebe." Travis said.

Angel and Julian walked over to us and sat down. "There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you." Angel chattered all throughout the campfire and to our cabin.

Our cabin was a cottage type house. It had plaid curtains and a window box full of purple flowers. Inside the walls were painted a light lavender. The bedspreads on the girls side of the room was lavender. On the boys side it was deep purple. Before I went to sleep I had one last thought. I wish I could talk to my dad. That was the end of my first day.
