4 Years ago

AS MY 9 YEAR OLD SELF was walking home from my day of 4th grade, I saw my mother and younger sister running towards me. My sister was turning 5 in a couple days and my mom was 35. Her and my dad divorced when I was three years old. My mother's face was strangely calm so I knew something was either wrong or she was very mad. When she got to me she told me that bad people were coming to find my family and try to hurt us. She had told me to run to my dad's house. I ran as fast as I could but I didn't want to go to my dad's house because he was very mean. I made it to a bridge under the highway. There I saw a woman under the water she spoke to me and told me to go back to the place where I met my mother earlier.

I went back and saw smoke. I instantly started running faster towards my mother and sister. When I got there I instantly knew that they were gone from this world. There was no remains only a small necklace that belonged to my mother. It was her locket that she wore everyday. She had told me earlier that year that if she knew she was going to die in short amount of time she would take it off and put it on the ground where only I could see it. She also told me to run to where ever I had been last. I ran back to the bridge. The woman was still there, but was out of the water now. I ran over to her wanting to cry into her arms like I did into my mothers.

"No my dear, no crying for you now. You need to move on. Stay strong. Know that I will be with you along the way." She said.

"What will I do then? Where should I go?" I asked trying my hardest to stop my tears.

"Go where you feel is right my dear. Stay there until it's time. I wish I could stay with you." She was cut off by the water pulling her in, but I swear on the gods that she tried to say "I love you" to me but I'm sure it was my imagination, but I ran (MAN! Am I in good shape?! I run A LOT.)

As I ran I couldn't stop thinking about the place under the bridge. After I got money from my house and some clothes and things for my own survival I went back there. Its where I lived for the three years I was on the road. I saw a kid (he was like two years older than me) once in a while, he said his name was Magnus. I think. Anyways he liked to stay over in Boston but came over to me when he said 'People were looking for him.' He was kinda baby cute, but not my type. He was a nice friend though. We could always count on each other for favors. He always brought me falafel when he visited. I even learned some ASL from his buddie Hearth, I think. It was a nice and quiet life. Until the owl came of course. I had always kept a hammer with me just incase I came across a thief. Over the years I had sharpened my senses a lot. I could always tell when someone was behind me on on my blind sides. So when there was a thief, I knew. When the owl came, I threw my hammer at it.

Apparently I have a good arm with my instincts because I hit it right in the eye. That startled it. As it started flying away, I picked up my hammer and ran to the bridge (or as I call it, Home). The woman was back again, but it had been a while.

"Are you only here when trouble happens?" I asked, sarcasm high seeing as I just got attacked by an owl tall as a building.

"Only here when you are in need of advice." She said.

"I'm in need of advice?" I asked questioning.

"Is there NOT an owl chasing you?!" She answered.

"Well I suppose there is an giant owl chasing me, but I hit it in the eye!"

"Exactly, listen to me child. You need to pack your things and start moving around the city. Never stay in one place for long. That will mess its senses up."

"Okay, I will start packing. Will it really mess its senses up though?"

"Yes." She said matter of a factly. "It will expect you to stay in one spot. Also, don't tell anyone about the owl unless it is actually attacking."

I'm lucky that I went back to my mother's house after the day. I have a backpack, sleeping bag, pillow, extra clothes, money, shoes, and things for survival. She melts back into the water and I quickly pack. I hear someone sneaking up on me. I grab my hammer and spin.

"AAHHH." I yell trying not to sound shaken.

"Well I don't think that's a nice way to treat a friend." Said a scarsactic voice behind the bridge.

"Friend?" I say as Magnus steps out. "Magnus!" I yell running to him. It had been about a year and a half sense I had seen him. And it was good to have a friend again.

"Hey Alia, how have you been?" He says as we hug.

"Okay," I say frustrated, looking in the skies for the owl. I know it will be back soon, I always is. "I just decided to move my location around. What brings you back here?" I say, him noticing my expression but ignoring it.

"I just wanted to visit, but I'm lucky I did now I could have missed you."

"Yeah, I'm glad you're here. I need someone to be around."

"I know how it feels. Want help?" He asks.

"Sure, always a good friend aren't you. Speaking of friends, wheres Hearth?" I ask.

"He didn't feel like coming, but I'll say hi for you."

"DO."

As we were packing up I see a dot in the distance that is coming closer. I realize that it's the owl. Lucky the sun is going down and I am able to send Magnus back to boston. As he leaves I sprint the other way.

Back to reality

I finish with my story coming here and meeting Hera. Once I realize I'm done with my story I feel arms around me. I look into the eyes of Will and Annabeth, who is crying with me. "He's your boyfriend isn't he."

"Yeah, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I thought I had a rough time getting here." Annabeth adds with a little laugh.

"Annabeth, you DID have a hard time getting here." Will says seriously.

After that we all start laughing, at Will's seriousness and from being nervous.

"Sorry to ruin your fun, but we need to announce this catastrophe to the camp." Chiron intercedes.

He is right and this brings Annabeth and I back to tears. Chiron tells us to get back on and brings us back to the camp. We brought up quite a crowd (Will told me that chiron normally doesn't let campers ride him and three was the most ever seen).

"Connor, Travis, get the councillors for a meeting hurry. This is serious." Chiron shouts to two boys near the front who look like twins. They run off the rest of the crowd scattering with them. As I soon find out this meeting consists with a lot of yelling, ping pong balls, and cheez whiz. I just try to stay in the corner alone, until Chiron tells me to tell my story from the top again. As I am talking I notice a blue light above my head. I look up and see a trident full of blue light swirling above me. I stop and say "Oh right I am a daughter of Poseidon." That makes it go chaotic. A couple kids faint and I notice annabeth look at chiron smiles a little and then starts crying harder. I also notice a girl standing next to will smiling at me. I smile at her and then look confused. I wonder why its like this. Chiron gets everyone back in order and I am able to finish my 'adventure'. All of the girls and a boy with really curly brown hair with horns and what looks like goat legs starts crying at the end of it. All of the girls except the one next to will. Once everyone leaves its just me, Annabeth, chiron, will, and the curly haired goat boy. "Grover, send nymphs and naiads to look for," Chiron looked over at annabeth who was trying to collect herself. "Him."

"Right away chiron." Grover said starting to munch on a ping pong ball topped with cheez whiz. My eyes followed him questioning.

"He's a satyr," Will said in my ear. "Also Percy's best friend. Satyrs are protectors of demigods. He brought Annabeth here, along with two other demigods Luke Castellan, he turned bad and went to the other side, and Thalia, She joined the hunters of artemis. He also brought Percy here." He finished off.

"Artemis mentioned the hunt to me. She said it was always welcoming. What do they." I was cut short by chiron saying "Annabeth will you show Alia around the camp? Will you can go back to your activities." It was clear that Chiron wanted time to himself. Annabeth showed me around, The place was beautiful, with the cabins, the lake, the strawberry fields, the climbing wall, sing-along amphitheater, archery range, stables, arena, and mess hall. By the time we were done annabeth had stopped crying. We stopped by the last thing, the oracle's cave.

"We just got her, the oracle, Percy met her. For a while I thought that he liked her, but then she became the oracle and I got Percy." Annabeth said.

"What did percy DO here. Everyone knows him." I exclaimed.

"That's going to take a while. When we were twelve he got Zeus's lightning bolt back from ares, and hades' hat of invisibility, thirteen we saved grover from the sea of monsters, fourteen he saved me from the titan Atlas, fifteen we stopped Kronos' army from destroying camp, and sixteen the camp was led by him in defeating kronos. Seventeen, gone." she said.

"And I am related to him. Woah." I said. "Well other than the gone part.."

"Annabeth?" Said a new voice.

"Yeah?" She replied shakly.

"Oh, Annabeth!" Said the new voice as the body it belongs to came out from the oracle's cave.

"Rachel! Oh Alia this is Rachel our oracle, Rachel this is Alia-" Annabeth was cut off by Rachel saying "Percy's sister."

"Yeah."

"Hey, how ya doin'?" I said trying to lighten up the very obvious, unhappy mood.

Rachel looked at me, then Annabeth and said, "Yep."

Just then a horn sounded, a conch horn by the sound of it. Don't ask me how I knew that. I don't either. Annabeth told me that we had to go to dinner. We ate in the mess hall, which has no walls or a roof. Just a concrete floor and about fifteen and a half tables. (They are in the making) I learned that camp Half-Blood can hold a lot more people than I thought it could. Annabeth shows me where to sit. I am all alone. Annabeth tells me that we can only sit with our cabins, Camp rules, and races off the her cabin. They all look the exact same. I look around at the other cabins' table's. I notice that some others have some of the same features but other than that, Athena's cabin is the only one who looks that same. Chiron stands up and starts announcing Percy's disappearance. I try my hardest not to cry. I can see Annabeth is doing so too. Chiron tells us that Grover has already sent out search parties. Annabeth stands up and announces that she is going to look also. She says she will need someone to go with her, who can get around easy. A boy from the Iris cabin stands up and volunteers, his name is Butch. After that people are asking how he went missing. Chiron invited me up to tell me my story and that Percy had gotten abducted. Chiron had told me to not mention Hera to the campers, as it will upset people. By standing in front of the campers I realize many of the girls in one cabin are crying and talking sadly. Surprisingly it's not Annabeth's cabin crying over her loss. I take a seat and learn how eating works here. Chiron allows Annabeth to teach me and sit with me for this little bit. There are magical cups that will hold whatever you ask for. I ask for Dr. Pepper. Then dinner is brought out by girls who melted from the trees. Annabeth tells me that they are Wood nymphs. The food was barbeque. Annabeth looked like she was going to break down. After we had all gotten food, Chiron stood up and chanted "To the gods!" Everyone chanted back, I thought that we should leave one god out, but, I guess that wasn't really the time. After the chant everyone got up and went over to the fire to, what looked like throw their food in the fire. Annabeth told me that they were giving burnt offerings to the gods. I again though one god should be left out, but went with it. I asked for help to come. The food was surprisingly good, for a summer camp.

For the next three days I was getting used to camp. I had become good friends with Annabeth and Theia. I was getting used to the schedule and enjoying the Poseidon cabin. I liked looking at the wall where Percy's stuff was. The one thing I enjoyed looking at most was a shield. It had the most beautiful designs on it. It looked like it had been fixed from dents, but It was covered up well. I asked about it once and Rachel told me that I had another half brother named Tyson. He was a cyclops who worked down in Poseidon's' palace, building weapons and that he had fixed the shield. I wanted to meet him soon. I was kind of excited to have a cyclops as a brother. I also wanted him to teach me to build things. I have always wanted to try new things, and building was one of them. I got my wish later that day.
