Dinner was the same as usual, but there was a slight tension in air around the Ares cabin. It seemed like half the cabin was angry at Clarisse while the other half was acting like normal. When I was thinking about this Chiron walked up to me and told me that someone was waiting for me at the Big House. I was puzzled. Who had come to see me? My question was, of course, answered when I got there. Right in front of me was four people. Mom, Paul, Poseidon and Ares. My first thought was, what the hell? Something serious was happening if there were two gods and two mortals here.
As I was walking up they turned towards me. When I got to them I said,
"Hey Mom, Paul, Dad, Ares. And, uh, excuse the language, but what the hell are you all doing here?"
"Umm. Well Percy, me and Paul have considered adopting someoneā¦." Mom started to say.
Then Ares butted in, "That someone is my daughter."
Questioning I asked, "Who and Why?"
Mom spoke up and said, "The girl you told me about that you helped, Clarisse." I have to say I was surprised. I mean me and Clarisse hate each other. Okay maybe not hate, but we have a strong dislike for each other.
I looked at my mom like she was crazy, "Me and Clarisse don't get along." I said slowly.
"So? You Thalia didn't get along at first, but now you two are good friends." Mom said.
I sighed heavily. "If she agrees then I'm fine with it." I stated true fully.
"She already has." One of them said.
Clarisse pov
After talking to Percy in the arena, I had stopped by the Ares cabin for no reason at all. I just felt like I needed to. When I walked in Ares was sitting on my bed. I bowed and said,
"Hello father." He smiled warmly at me and said,
"Hello, Clarisse how would you feel about being adopted?"
"It would be nice, but it wouldn't last. I'm a half-blood."
"Being a half-blood would not matter with this family, seeing that her son is a half-blood."
"Who is it?" I asked, my curiosity rising.
"Sally Jackson."
"WHAT! That's fish face's mom!"
"I know," Ares said calmly, "you don't have to go with them, but I know that you and Jackson kind of get along. Know think about it. Is it really that bad?"
I started thinking about then I thought, dad HATES Percy, why is HE considering this? I voiced my thoughts.
He replied, "Because you two do get along and this offers a way to go out into the world, have family that knows you're a half-blood and can take care of you. You are also near both camp and Olympus." So I went back to thinking. It wouldn't be too bad I suppose. I could at least check it out, and if I hate it I can go back to camp. With that in mind I said yes. Now, I thought, I have to tell Ares cabin about it. I thought about their reactions, this is not going to end well.
When I got there Mark asked what had taken so long. He had seen me go into our cabin. I took a deep breath and told them about dad showing up to talk to me. Sherman leaned forward and asked,
"About what?"
"Well, you see someone offered to adopt me so he asked if I wanted to try this family." I said avoiding their eyes.
"Well?" prompt the new girl.
"I said yes." I mumbled.
"Who is it?" Mark asked suspiciously. I gulped.
"It's Percy Jackson's mom."
Half of them just shrugged and just went back to eating; while the others looked at me with anger seeing that I was being adopted by our enemy's mom. I noticed Chiron walk over to Percy and say something to him, and then he got up and walked towards the Big House. Are they telling him? I hope they are.
After campfire I headed toward the arena to meet up with the others. The Ares cabin happens to be that direction so that I had to pass by it. Standing on the porch was Percy. When he saw me he smiled and ran towards me. When he reached me he smiled bigger and said laughingly.
"I always wanted a sister!"
"I hope so," I said, "cause you're stuck with me."
Changing the subject I said, "We had better get down there, and decide where we're going to tell the story."
"Umm. How about in a cave I found on the beach?"
I thought about it. A cave wouldn't be too bad. "Yeah, sure."
We went on down into the arena to find Annabeth and Grover already there. Okay, I thought, time to put the mask on.

When we got down there and saw them I thought of an idea. Clarisse didn't want to tell them, because she probably thinks they will tell someone. What if we make them promise not to tell anyone before we tell the story. I whispered the idea, thinking it would make her feel a bit better. She nodded her head and agreed.
"Okay, before we tell you, you have to promise not to say a word about it to anyone." I said to Annabeth and Grover when we reached them.
Grover immediately said, "Yes"
While Annabeth stood and thought. "Okay" she said finally. Beside me Clarisse sigh with relief.
"Oh, yeah. There is something else we needed to tell you." I added thoughtfully. Clarisse hit my shoulder.
"What?" I said.
"I thought we were going to tell them some other time." She hissed.
Grover's and Annabeth's jaws dropped.
"Are you two dating?" Annabeth asked timidly.
We both shouted, "No!" at the same time.
"We'll tell you later." Clarisse said tiredly. I motioned for them to follow and headed toward the cave.
When we finally got there, Clarisse started to make a fire. When we had settled around it. Someone then walked in. It startled me. When the person came forward enough to see their face, I saw that it was Hermes. The god of thieves and travel. He also delivers messages. He walked forward and put down a package in between us.
"We thought this might make telling your story easier." He said with a wink.
"Now sign here, now you sign." Hermes said to me and Clarisse. After he left we opened the package and saw a book. It was called, Percy Jackson & the Olympians The Demigod Files. Opening it up to the first page I realized it was a story written about what happened. The story was called, The Stolen Chariot. I handed the book to Clarisse and saw that she realized it to.
Well there you are! I hope you guys like it. I'm planning on having around three more chapters before I finish. Thank you all that read and for those who review. Byee!
