[2009] Carter's POV

I'm currently searching for half-bloods in the form of going to schools for a month, and look if there's anything special about anyone there. Well right now, I sense this girl named Jenine Brewer is a half-blood. And not just any half-blood, a kid of one of the Big Three. Oh great. Zeus is really going to be angry about this. I'm surprised it's not his child, because I really thought it'd be typical of him to hook up with another mortal. I walked up to her and made friends. After my stay there, we had also grown to be best friends, just like me and Artemis. I extended my stay at that school to get to know her better. After all, a god might suddenly claim her, and I need to know who the heck it is. Even if I was the goddess of foresight and I already knew who it was, I wanted to see for myself to prove my mind wasn't playing tricks.

On Jenny's birthday, the moment I'd been waiting for came. A god had claimed her, and oh, my gods - it really was Poseidon. She was my half-sister. Half-sister. After the celebration, her mom let us go and I explained about the stuff about a half-blood while driving to camp. She was shocked at first, but soon got over it. When we arrived, I saw my brother by the pine tree. "Percy!"

"Hey sis!" He greeted back, smiling.

"Meet Jenine Brewer, our newly-claimed half-sister." I told him, and that shocked him.

"So Dad just claimed her today?" I nodded. "Oh, okay. I'll go tell Chiron and Mr. D, you go show her the cabin. The camp tour will be too much for her, let's just do it tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, Perce." Then I led my bestfriend/sister to cabin three. I showed her around, and she settled down on the bunk next to the one I used whenever I stayed there.

"You should go get some sleep. We're starting early tomorrow, okay?" I told her, making her comfortable on her new bed.

"Okay, good night sis." I smiled at that.

"Good night, Jenine."

The next morning, Percy and I showed her around the camp. Afterwards, both of us had sword practice with her. But halfway through it, Percy had a date with Annabeth, so I was left alone with her. When she got tired, it was lunchtime anyway, so we ate.

After lunch, I helped her control her powers. "Just like that, Jenine. Relax, getting tense won't help."

"Sorry, sorry. Can't help it when it's the first time."

I smiled, . "You'll get the hang of it in no time. You're Poseidon's daughter, after all."

Then, out of nowhere, Artemis appeared behind me. "Carter!"

I didn't take my eyes off what Jenine was doing-or trying to do-, but replied, "Hey Arty. How are ya?"

Jenine was kinda shocked with how I called her, as she knew that Artemis, being the goddess-wth-a-reputation-for-being-a-man-hater that she is, was highly respected. She whispered, "Arty? How can you call her that?"

I stopped my demo of the whirlpool and looked at both of them alternately. "Artemis, meet Jenine Brewer, my half-sister and another bestfriend. Jenine, meet Artemis, goddess of the Moon, the Hunt, and of Virginity. She's also my bestfriend." Jenine looked at Arty warily, while Artemis on the other hand was sort of glaring at her, as if not believing what I just said.

I sighed. "Come on, don't be so protective, Arty. And Jenine, don't be scared of her. I don't think she'll hurt you with me around. Come on, shake hands." They did, but seemed like they were only doing it for me. I saw Artemis still glaring at her, and I shot her one of my own I'll-kill-you-if-you-don't-stop-that glares, which backed her down. I gave Jenine a reassuring smile that said It's okay, she won't hurt you.

When dinner was over, I went to my cabin, and both of them followed. I tucked my sister to bed and let her sleep. Artemis watched the whole time, and was obviously jealous as she was scoffing every now and then. We then came out of the cabin to spend some time together.

As we strolled through camp, there was a long silence between us, as if both were hesitating to say anything. Finally, Artemis spoke. "Hey, um, Kelpy?" (Kelpy is Artemis' rather cute version of 'Kelp Head' in the story)

"Yeah, Arty. What is it?" I replied.

"Well, where'd you meet her?"

I sighed, she was still jealous. "Arty, don't be so jealous of her."

"I am not!" She snapped, her face red. Though whether from anger or blushing, I wasn't sure.

"Now there's the Artemis I know." I said, jokingly. She nudged me, and I smiled.

"So, where'd you meet her?" Since she was in her 12-year-old form, and me in my 15-year-old form, she had to look up to meet my eyes.

"Well, I met her at that school where I was searching for godlings. Turns out she was the one I was lookin' for. Although I knew ahead of time with my foresight, I wanted to see for myself. So I waited for Father to claim her, and along the way we became best friends." Artemis turned her gaze on the ground. I immediately racked my mind for reassuring words.

"Artemis, don't be insecure or anything. I look at the two of you just the same." Okay, not the smartest thing to say, but hey, my ADHD still acts up occasionally; I'm still technically a half-blood, just turned immortal. "But we've been best friends since I became a goddess, and nothing's gonna change that, okay?"

She looked up at me again with her bright silver eyes, and smiled. "Thanks. For the reassuring words."

"No problem, Arty." She smiled wider at the nickname.

"Reminds me, Kelpy-" I smiled at my nickname. "-can we go to the beach? Just for awhile?" She was looking at me with those puppy-dog eyes, so it was hard to turn down her request.

"Sure. It's not like we're on curfew or anything. We aren't half-bloods,anyway." We laughed. Like I said, I was technically a half-blood.

When we reached the beach, we sat down, and she rested her head on my shoulder. Then she gazed at the constellations in the sky, while I on the other hand stared out at the waves. She then linked her arm with mine, and I stopped staring at the waves and instead played with the sand with my free hand.

Suddenly, I felt her tense up while still looking at the sky. Orion's constellation.

I looked over at her. "Still bothers you, huh?"

Confused, she released my arm and faced me. Then a look of realization came to her. "No, it doesn't bother me anymore. It's just that...it's just-"

"Stop stammering, Arty. You just keep on remembering the good stuff during your relationship, am I right?" I interrupted, finishing the sentence for her. She looked down and nodded. Then she linked her arm with mine again, this time making me her personal teddy bear. Pretty soon I heard her yawn loudly, and then steady breathing.

"Jeez. She should've known better than to sleep here on the beach." I said to myself. It came out louder than I meant, and she woke up.

She punched my arm playfully, and said defensively, "I was really sleepy, Kelp Head."

"Well, let's go back, then. I'll get you to your cabin." She stretched, then nodded. I helped her stand up, and we said our goodnights at Cabin #8's door.

When I came back to my cabin, Percy was snoring, and Jenine kept on stirring because of the noise. I woke my brother up. "Perce. Wake up."

"Hmm?" He said, still sleepy.

"Stop snoring already. It's bothering Jenine."

"Sorry." Then he went back to sleep.

I went to her bedside, and whispered, "Good night, sis. Sweet dreams." And I went to sleep too.
