II - Annabeth

I was sitting in the waiting area in the local hospital. My daughter Cora is with the doctor right now. I cannot believe I am in the hospital in the 15th birthday of my son. Ironically, I wasn't 15 years ago. I gave him birth under a tree a couple of steps of the cabin I was renting.

"Miss Jackson, I'm Dr. Hawkes. Cora is fine, just minor food poisoning. One good pumped stomach and good to go" said the doctor with a sweet mischievous smile. Was he flirting with me? He was kind of handsome, around my age with blue eyes and blond hair. I guess Cora must be really embarrassed right now with such good looking doctor examining her.

"That's good to know. I was kind of worry since her dad is out of town" I said.

"You can call your dad and tell him that your sister is fine" said the Doctor and I turned red. He was flirting with me.

"She is not my sister" I said.

"Sorry, well, your cousin" said Dr. Hawkes smiling at his mistake.

"Doctor. I'm her mom. My husband, her dad, is right now in a symposium. He is a geologist" I said and the doctor turned 50 shades of red.

"Oh, sorry, ma'am. You really look too young to be her mom. I apologize" said the doctor raising his hand in defeat.

"It's ok. Can I see her?" I said smiling at the doctor.

"Sure. Let me take you" said the doctor and leaded me to a bed where my "sister" was reading a magazine. She saw me and blushed at the doctor. She liked him.

"Hi, sweetheart. How are you feeling?" I said and kissed my daughter's forehead.

"Fine, mom. The doctor took a good care of me" said Cora smiling dreamily to the doctor, such a typical teenager.

"I see. Ready to go home?" I said looking at her magazine, a boy band cover with lots of hearts.

"Sure, mom. Thank you Doctor H" said Cora to me and the doctor. The doctor shook her hand with a big loving smile. Cora blushed.

"It was my pleasure. I will go for the release papers. Excuse me" said the doctor and left us.

I looked at my daughter with a hard stare. This whole situation was fishy and I just knew what really happened.

"So, your brother is hunting with Thalia" I said and Cora's eyes opened wide and gasped in surprise.

"Sorry, mom. Derek really wanted to go hunting and you don't let him since the deer incident" said Cora lowering her head.

"I see… We will talk when we are home. You are not getting away of this. I will tell your father. It could have turned bad easily. You could end worst that just a stomach ache. Cora, I could have lost you" I said trying so hard not to raise my voice and scold her. Cora was looking down and tears were on her eyes.

"Sorry, mom" said Cora with a weak meekly sobbing voice. I took her hand and sighed.

"It's ok, sweetheart. I'm not mad. I'm relieved that you are Ok, but something bad could happen to you. Promise me not to do it again. OK?" I said and she raised her eyes at me. I wiped her tears.

"Yes, mom… Mom, I had a dream yesterday" said Cora.

"And?" I said intrigued. Cora's dreams are more prophetic than most demigods I have ever known. She dreamed monsters since she was 4, keeping us safe on any possible monster attack.

"Someone is coming" said Cora.

"Who?" I said.

"I didn't see her or him. I could hear a lovely almost angelic voice. It was a like song moving to us. I don't know if it's good or bad yet" said Cora. A song?

"Don't worry. Whatever it is, we will get through it together" I said and I helped Cora to change in her clothes to go home.

We drove home. It was raining mildly making the ground smell fresh. Cora changed the radio station like 20 times and talked endlessly about how cute the doctor was. I had a headache by the time we got home. Teenagers!

At home, the rain has stopped. We got down the car. I opened the door to find Thalia and Derek discussing in the hall without notice us.

"It's your fault" said Derek angrily at Thalia.

"Why mine? I don't have poisoning arrows in my quiver" said Thalia.

"You gave me that arrow in the first place" said Derek.

"What is going on?" I said looking at them. Both turned to face me with wide opened mouths and surprised eyes.

"Mom" said Derek.

"Annabeth, we…" said Thalia giving one step back.

"Thalia Grace, explain" I said with a hard cold stare at my best friend and godmother of my son.

"Well, we were hunting and you moronic son hit a girl with a poisoned arrow by accident. The girl is upstairs. She has a very high fever. We were going to call an ambulance…" said Thalia.

"Ambrosia" said Cora making everybody turned at her.

"Ambrosia? Is she..?" said Derek softly as he looked upstairs.

"Yes, a mortal would be dead right now… a demigod" said Thalia almost whispering.

My eyes stared at the ceiling thinking in the possibilities. I felt my heart skip a beat in surprise. An unknown demigod in Alaska? It only meant troubles.

"What are we going to do?" I said worried almost scared. We have lived in peace for 15 years and now a demigod got in our way.

"Heal her and let her go. Whatever she is doing here we are not involving, especially you two" said Thalia pointing to my teenager children. Cora nodded but Derek looked away annoyed at us.

"Derek, if there is quest, it's not yours" I said looking at my son. For years, Derek has lived listening to our stories and he craves going on quest since he was 8. He has begged me and Percy to let him go to Camp Half-Blood or Jupiter. He doesn't know about the prophecy. It's dangerous for him, Cora and me leave Alaska.

"I will go" said Cora sighing and walked upstairs.

"What is her name?" I said.

"Aria Blewis" said Derek. Aria… a song… Cora dreamed about her. Definitely, things were happening.
