Daughter of the Seas
Heeey~! Chap. 2 is here...
Oh- a little shout out to 30SecondsToMe: Thanks for reviewing you're the first to do so... :) Also, if both our OC have the same names that's totally coincidental. The name Andromeda came to me when I re-watched POJ Movie and Clash of the Titans. I hope there is no need for further explanations. :D
Ciao!

Chapter Two: Sister? TWIN SISTER?
Annabeth's POV
"Uh… No. It's just that I thought there was something more important…" Percy replied to the girl's accusation.
I looked her up and down. She was beautiful… She had black, slightly wavy hair and really dark brown, almost black, eyes with flecks of sea green. She was slightly taller than me, though if she was to be standing next to Percy or Nico or Malcolm she would look pretty small.
Wait a minute. Dark brown with flecks of sea green? Which god/goddess had children with those eyes?
Then Chiron cleared his throat, breaking the girl out of her stupor making her look at him towering over her then he spoke.
"Anyways, Andy?" He addressed the girl. "Would you care to introduce yourse-"
"All of you! Close your eyes, quick!" The girl, Andy, commanded suddenly cutting off what Chiron was about to say.
We all complied, though I don't know why. There was just something about her tone that told us to do so or else… and that's coming from me who, as the others say, don't take any orders from anyone but myself.
Suddenly, just a few seconds after all of us closed our eyes, bright light flashed behind Chiron, Andy and Sally. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. 11 flashes in total. I had a wild guess what, or rather who, they were but I really wished I wasn't right this time.
Even with just one god or goddess in the camp there was already a foreseen problem that's gonna brew up. What do you think would all 12 major gods and goddesses bring along with them?
"ANDROMEDA JACKSON!" I heard Zeus thunder, though not literally, thank the gods for that.
We all opened our eyes to see Zeus, Poseidon, my mother, Hera, Aphrodite, Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Ares, Demeter and Dionysus, who was rushing from his quarters after probably seeing the flashes.
They were all furious. Well, except Aphrodite, who was looking at her newly manicured nails, Hermes, he actually looked amused rather than share his father's anger, Apollo, he was looking at his reflection in a mirror smiling at it, Demeter was babbling on and on to Aphrodite about how she needed to eat cereals and Dionysus, he looked rather confused as to why all of them would be here.
Then, Andy sighed. Then turned to face the gods, kneeled in front of all of them then asked, "What is the matter, Uncle?" the question directed to Zeus.
Poseidon answered for him. "What is the matter? WHAT IS THE MATTER? HOW—" He was so angry that the waves of the sea nearby roared loudly.
Poseidon breathed in then spoke dangerously calm, "Andromeda, how about asking YOURSELF what the matter is with YOU?"
Andy stood up; she looked at the gods and goddesses that were glaring at her then bent her head a little to the side and said, "But, I really don't know what you're all so mad abou-"
"ANDROMEDA…" This time Hera was the one to speak. Her tone sounded as if she was warning Andy to stop acting as if she was innocent or they're gonna squeeze it out of her anyways.
Wait. Another weird thing… When Zeus came he said "Andromeda Jackson". This is really totally weird but I have a wild guess at what is going on and why Andy is here. And the thing is… I'm usually always right.
Percy's POV
Okay. May I just point out that this is toootally weird. I mean just plain WEIRD!
First there's this girl Andy, Andromeda Jackson as Zeus called her.
I mean, Jackson? JACKSON? Jackson is MY family name and I don't even have a sister! I probably have a half-sister from another woman dad got all googly-eyed over but a sister from Poseidon AND my mom? Nah, doubt it.
But, I'm also starting to doubt that doubt right about now.
My thoughts were cut off when my mom started to speak, "Now, now. Can we please all calm down and talk about this when everybody is seated? The kids look tired from all the fun they've had, right?" she directed the last question to us and everyone nodded.
She radiated calmness that was very infecting making everyone around her calm down too.
Then, Aphrodite started speaking in a not-so-subtle way making everyone hear her, "Now I know why you fell in love with her, Poseidon. She's absolutely amazing for a mortal. This being a complement, of course."
Mom laughed a little shaking her head at the comment. Dad smiled a little, looking at her direction. As I was observing all of these, I was pondering the fantasy of bringing them back together. But of course, I knew better. Mom was getting married and that was probably why she was so calm about the topic.
Anyways, we were all already sitting down, mom sitting together with me at my table, Andy standing by the gods and goddesses sitting at the head table while they looked at all of us. Mostly only at their own children.
This was a really rare sight. All of the major gods and goddesses with all of their children.
Right then Dionysus started to talk, "Zeus, what is the matter?" Zeus glared at him. "I mean, not that you all are not welcome here but, why the need for all of you to be here?"
"What is the matter with that, Dionysus? We just wanted to see the children. And also take care of a certain upstart demi-god's behavior." Zeus replied.
Upstart demi-god? Isn't that what they called me? What'd I do this time? Or is he referring to a different person?
"Upstart demi-god? Who? Is it you again Johnson?" Dionysus glared in my direction.
At this I looked totally confused but managed to correct him, "Its Jackson, Mr. D."
"Bah! The fact is you got into trouble again, boy!"
Hermes who was keeping shut all along then spoke with an amused look on his face.
"Oh, no no no. It's not Percy, Dionysus. But rather another Jackson."
"Oh? Oh… OH! The OTHER JACKSON?" Mr. D questioned. At this point of time, I was really confused that I finally couldn't stand not knowing what they were all talking about and stood up then I started to question them about what was happening.
I know, talking to the gods and goddesses this way is a dangerous move. Blame my ADHD and Seaweed Brain-iness(?)... if that was a word.
"Other Jackson? What do you all mean? Can you just stop talking to yourselves and start explaining? Because clearly I'm not the only confused one here." I said looking at the gods and the other campers.
"Ah… I see what you all mean about all of Poseidon's children being upstart now." Athena mused.
Hearing all these I saw Andy roll her eyes from the corner of mine.
"Kid, stop being such a brat, whining about something not given to you." She, Andy, addressed me. Then, turned to the gods. "And you guys, can you just stop teasing them? Seriously, have you really already lived through eons? Because, y'all look like toddlers right about now."
They all glared at her, she shrugged as if she was glared at by the most powerful beings everyday. And I had a feeling she did.
"I'm afraid she is right. I know all of you are confused now. But we'll address that subject later. Right now, we need to assess a problem of me blasting that other Jackson to pieces… If you'd please explain the reason for your rule-breaking, Andromeda?" Zeus questioned.
She sighed. "Fine... I'm sorry, okay? I just…" She fidgeted around looking at the ground and sighed again, I saw that this made Poseidon's face soften. "I just needed the support, you know. And I haven't seen Sall-" Mom cleared her throat from beside me, Andy looked at her then quickly corrected herself. "I mean, mom in a long time and I figured the kid wanted to see her, too"
Why is she calling my mom her mom? My thoughts were cut off by Mr. D.
"Ah….. she is upstart indeed. Letting a mortal within camp borders" Mr. D commented, eyeing my mother.
"Thanks. I'll take that as a complement and not drown you right now if you only stop looking at my mom as if she was wearing only her bikinis."
When she said this dad turned to Dionysus to see that she was right. Poseidon then glared at him and did Andy a favor by drowning Dionysus with his, Mr. D's, head in a waterball, preventing him from breathing.
Seeing this, Athena started to talk.
"Poseidon, I suggest you take that off of him right now. He's already suffering enough with the 'limitations' Zeus put on him." Then, she turned to Andy. "And Andromeda, my dear, if you will please explain the other issue now to keep young Perseus' curiosity quenched."
"Yeah, sure." She turned to Chiron after. "Are you gonna start talking right now or do I have to do everything by myself?" She questioned him.
"Ah, yes, of course. I'll be helping whenever I am needed." Chiron replied. He addressed us next.
"Heroes, we have a new member in camp. I'll just let her introduce herself before we start explaining everything. Andy?"
"I'm Andy, er, Andromeda Jackson. I'm a daughter of fishman here-" The campers all laughed. Poseidon glared at her. She glanced at him and gulped then rephrased her last sentence. Afraid that she'll get a waterball on her head, too. "I mean, I am a daughter of Poseidon, God of the Seas."
"Wait. How can you be a Jackson and also a daughter of Poseidon? Doesn't that mean you're a sister of Percy's from the same mom?" A Hephaestus kid suddenly asked.
Silence ensued…..
"Well, if no one's gonna speak then I guess I have no choice." Andy said. Cleared her throat then spoke again. "Yes. The fact that you stated is true. I am the sister of Perseus Jackson. Twin sister, if you want to be specific."
More silence as we let everything sink in…..
