Lily's POV
"Do you think she's ok?" I heard a boy's voice say, from not too far away. I was still too weak to open my eyes.
"I don't know, I'm just happy you got her out before the monster could do any serious damage. Of course that is, other than extreme exhaustion." I heard a girl reply. I could tell they were standing by whatever it was I was laying on. I felt soar all over, and suddenly the memories of what had happened came flooding back.
The boy with sea-green eyes. Running, lots of running. Becky. Becky was a monster. I almost died. I almost DIED.
I groaned at my own recollection, and I heard the boy and girl come closer.
"Um, can you hear us?" The boy asked, picking up my hand gently. I slowly opened my eyes and there he was. The boy with the sea-green eyes; the boy who saved my life.
"I would be dead if it weren't for you," I whispered in my raspy voice. His eyes were clouded with obvious worry and he passed me a glass filled with a golden substance.
"Here, have some Ambrosia. You need to heal." He told me, and I grabbed the glass with my stronger arm.
"But won't this kill me?" I asked, and he seemed embarrassed.
"No, demigods can have it, just not too much. It strengthens us when we're ill or hurt." He replied calmly, and I took a sip. It tasted like my mom's infamous ice cream pie. I sipped more, and soon enough the glass was empty.
"Thanks, I'm Lily. Lily Reyes." I told him, and already my voice sound clearer.
"I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon." He replied. I was shocked. He- he was my half-brother. Practically blood relative. I wasn't an only child anymore.
"I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." She said, though I wasn't exactly listening. I was thinking about Percy. He was my half-brother. Those two words have never been that important to me until now.
"You're my brother, Percy." I blurted out, and I could tell he was shocked too.
"What?" He asked, in barely a whisper.
"My mom. She told me before I left who I was. She told me my father was the Sea God Poseidon." I told him.
"I have a sister? I have a sister! You're my sister!" He yelped in awe, and I saw a faint glow. I noticed Annabeth and Percy staring above my head.
"What is it?" I asked.
"You've been claimed. You really are my sister. I have to go get Chiron!" Percy exclaimed. He rushed out of the room before I could say more and it was only Annabeth and I. The awkwardness made me want to go back to sleep. But I knew she must've been important to Percy for him to invite her to my recovery room. I couldn't believe Percy alone had killed Becky. But then again he looked a few years older than me.
"It's great to meet another child of one of the Big Three. Percy's cabin was always a bit large for only one person." Annabeth said, breaking the silence.
"Percy's the only other child of Poseidon?" I asked her, curious.
"Well, technically he has a Cyclops brother, Tyson. But you're the only demigod sibling to Percy." Annabeth explained, and I totally could see the Athena in her. I smiled, and tried to lift my head up. My head was throbbing so I decided to wait awhile before that. She saw me wince, and handed me another glass of Ambrosia.
"Here, this will take the headache away quick," She said with a smile. I loved her blonde curly hair. I've always wanted curly hair. Instead I got jet black straight hair with barely any volume to it. I always had it in a ponytail for that reason. My eyes were the biggest contrast to all of my features. The sea-foam green was always a showstopper against my pale skin, and my hair. I realized how much Percy and I looked alike, and I totally forgot that Annabeth was speaking to me.
"Lily? Are you alright?" She asked, waving her hand in front of my eyes.
"Sorry, I guess I was just daydreaming." I told her, averting my eyes because of my shame.
"You should probably get some sleep anyway. I could leave if you want?" Annabeth said, and I was glad. I didn't want to have to ask her for some space; it just seemed rude compared with how nice she was treating me.
I nodded, shutting my eyes and I heard the door close soon after. I was almost off into a dream state when I heard the door open again. I kept my eyes closed just in case it was Annabeth. Don't get me wrong, I think we'll be great friends, but I was really tired despite the Ambrosia and wanted my rest. I heard whoever it was walk closer to me, and I heard gallops behind that. Who was bringing a horse in here?
"Ah, so this is Miss Reyes. Your half-sister," I heard an older man's voice say. I knew the other person had to be Percy, but I was still wondering about the gallop I heard as they came in.
"Yeah, I found her outside the gates unconscious after being attacked by a monster. I brought her here and when she woke up, she was claimed." Percy told the man.
"I think we should move her into her permanent cabin. It will be easier for her to rest in a place that feels more like home." The man said. I heard Percy groan in defiance.
"Do I have to wake her now, Chiron? She looks so peaceful. And she's weak." Percy said, and I could hear the anger in his tone. He obviously didn't like Chiron's idea.
"If you do not, I'm afraid I'll have to. I expect more of you Percy. You know this is for the best." Chiron replied sternly. Sure enough I heard Percy's footsteps as he came closer to my bed. I let him try a bit before I 'woke up' because I didn't want him knowing I was eavesdropping. When I finally opened my eyes, grief was in his.
"I'm sorry to wake you up, but I have to bring you to our cabin." He said, he looked guilty and I didn't want him to feel guilty.
"It's alright," It was only after I finished answering Percy that I noticed the centaur at the other side of the room, by the door. Chiron was a centaur. That's why I heard the gallop. Chiron chuckled at my face.
"Welcome to Camp Half Blood, Lillian." I was blushing. He thought my name was Lillian. It was only Lily.
"It's only Lily, sir." I told him.
A/N: Ok so there will be more action coming up as I don't just want this story to be plot-less…Tell me what you thought of Percy's reaction to his new sister!
