'Sup everyone? I'm back, and I've got answers for you! I needed to get Leo there ASAP, sorry for the rush. Anyways, you know what I'll say! Read and review! Follow and favourite if you want! Now, time for you to read! I don't want you to be bored, so what're you waiting for? Oh yeah, me to shut up, sorry.
Penelope's POV
I feel really bad for Sistra. First, people call her a freak for nothing. I don't know what she did, but if she didn't hurt anyone, that's okay with me. Now she got sent home for over-reacting of the rumble, screaming things like Leave me alone! I wanted to go with her, but I wasn't allowed. Probably when she comes back tomorrow, she'll be bullied. Poor girl. I focus on doing the suicides, since it's nearly my turn. I sprint when it's my turn, and after Phys Ed, the whole day's such a blur, I find myself on the school bus, thinking about what happened to Sistra. When it's almost my stop, we get into an accident.
Leo's POV
"Who are you?" is the first thing I hear. I groan, mentally cursing Gaea when a pair of arms pulls me up. I stand, aching, but alive.
"Who are you?" asks the person. Again. I don't know why I'm stuttering, but I stutter the answer anyways.
"M-my name is Leo. Leo Valdez."
I look at the person, to find myself staring at a pair of purple eyes. Not purple, but somewhat there. Her face pales, but I don't understand why.
"By the gods. Okay, first things first. You're going to have to change your name."
"WHAT? Why on earth do I-"
"Leo, you've got to listen to me. Everyone knows about demigods."
That's what stops me. Everyone? Even mortals? Apparently, she can read minds.
"Everyone, including mortals."
"Does that mean the Mist is gone?"
She starts to laugh at me, which is kinda mean.
"You're so funny. Of course the Mist is still here. Why wouldn't it be?"
"Hmm, let's see, oh yeah, maybe because MORTALS CAN SEE MONSTERS?"
"How do I explain this? Let's just say there are files that were taken about you guys, and everyone has read it."
I can't believe it. The secret is exposed.
"Leo, the thing is nobody believes in demigods. Or monsters. The only monsters they know of are the one under their bed."
I calm down, but not fully.
"Oh how dumb of me. I'm Sistra, Sistra Ives. I'm also a demigod. Now, we need to change your name. How about-"
"Wait, did YOU change your name?"
She bites her lip, as if she doesn't want to talk about it.
"No. But people know about you, and you have to change your name."
"How do people know me?"
"You're mentioned in the files."
I'm in complete shock. How do they know about me?
"So how about Bob?"
I shake my head. Sistra. That name sounds so familiar, but I can't remember it…
"Okay then, how about Joe?"
I shake my head again, and you can tell she's getting annoyed.
"Well at this rate, you might as well be named Difficult!"
I shake my head, then she has a look that plainly says I have a great idea.
"How about Sammy?"
Sistra's POV
Well, I did it. I suggested Sammy. He looks at me, and I agree to it.
"Okay then. You shall be named Sammy….Sammy…. Sammy Difficult!"
I smirk, and he shakes his head.
"No way I'm gonna be named Sammy Difficult."
"Well it's been nice seeing you, so I better-" I start with, but he interrupts me.
"Wait! Can you tell me where I am?"
I 'm puzzled, but I answer him anyways.
"Canada. Well, that's the country, but the city is Brampton. Why?"
He has this blank expression, and I can't tell what he thinking.
"Do you have anywhere to go?"
"Well, I'm looking for my friend, and her name's Piper. But I have nowhere to stay."
"Well, guess what?"
"What?"
"You're coming with me! It's been such a long time since I've been on a quest that I'm coming with you, no matter what! So, first things first: You've gotta wait until winter break."
"But what about Piper? We're kinda in a rush."
"Well, do you know where she is?"
"No…"
"Do you have an idea where she is?"
"No…"
"So while I'm at school, you can plan out, and think about what you're going to do. It's only two days anyways."
He hesitates, but then agrees.
"Awesome! Now, time for you to come with me. You're going to have to live with my foster family."
"Wait, WHAT? I am NOT going to a foster-"
"MY family, not one family for your own! I'm an orphan, so you can come with me!"
"You're an orphan?"
I nod, but I remember how I explained him my story. Well, time to tell him again.
"My father was poisoned, and my mother's a goddess. Your godly parent is Hephaestus, right?"
He nods. I motion him to follow me, and we walk to my home. Once we get there, I try to look for my keys. Groaning, I pull out my bag, and start to look. After 10 minutes (new record!) I find them, and I open the doors. We enter, and I walk to my room. Leo, err I mean Sammy follows me and I go inside.
"Welcome to my room!"
He stares at everything, examining things, and I quickly shuffle to my bookshelf to hide the Heroes of Olympus collection.
"So, you're pretty messy aren't you?"
"Shut up Difficult."
"Why'd you call me Difficult?"
"That's your last name. Right Sammy?"
He rolls his eyes, and that's when doorbell rings. I open the door to find myself unconscious.
