LEGAL DISCLAIMER: I sadly do not own Twilight, or Alec. I don't own Pj&O either. But I do own Hayley! Yeah! (fake crowd in the background)


Hayley

Alec told me his story. Now I must tell him mine. Whoo.

"It's long story." I warned him again as we reached the fountain.

"I've got all day." He answered.

"First off, Do you know about the greek gods?" I asked. His eyebrow raised but he nodded.

"Okay, well they are real. Hades is my grandfather. Zeus is my grandfather. Mom is a daughter of Zeus. Dad is a son of Hades." I paused, letting Alec soak it all in. Instead his face scrunched up like he was trying to remember something, but just couldn't. I sadly knew that face.

-Flashback-

I must have only been about five or six. I had asked Jason, for about the billionth time in my life, why I didn't look like him or Piper. His face scrunched up, like he was trying really hard to remember something.

"Thalia…" he muttered, pinching the bridge of his nose, like he was getting a headache. "Why…. What?"

He'd continued his mumblings all day that day. He kept repeating the same thing over and over again.

"Why don't I remember?"

- End of Flashback-

Alec's expression cleared. His eyes and face told me to continuemy story.

"I suppose I should give you a little back story. A long time ago, Venus/Aphrodite made a rule about demigods getting married. Demigods over the age of sixteen could ask a demigoddess over the age of at least fifteen to marry. If they were willing to have their love judged, they could become gods and goddesses of whatever skill or trait they were known for. But that was only if their love was true. Mom and Dad's love was true. And forbidden." I said. Alec sat a little closer, clearly intrigued by the story.

"Why?" He asked " Why was it forbidden?'

"My mom was a hunter of Artemis. So, when she fell for dad, their love had to be judged before they were even considering marriage. But, luckily, Venus/Aphrodite stepped in, and stopped the test before Mom could fail and Her and dad be killed. Not without a price though." I paused to catch my breath.

"Aphrodite/Venus told mom that in order for her life and love to be saved, she had to swear that the first daughter that mom had would be given to Piper McLean- Grace. Aphrodite's favorite daughter, but Piper couldn't have children. By the time mom was actually pregnant, she was still a demigoddess, while dad was a god. The wedding was halted until after mom gave birth." (AN: The demigoddesses have to be Goddesses before they are married. (Aphrodite weddings, man.))

"So you ended up being this Piper McLean's adopted child?" Alec asked as I stopped to collect my story, for I had started to ramble.

"Yep." I said, popping the P.

"But wouldn't you have looked too much like your mother and father to be posing as Piper McLean's child, would you not?" He continued. I sighed, and pulled my wallet out of my back pocket. I showed Alec the picture of Mom and Dad together, grinning like idiots standing in front of the bonfire at Camp Half-Blood. His eyebrows rose in surprise.

"Aphrodite made me look different than mom and dad, just so I could pass as Piper's daughter and no one could ever tell." I growled. I hated that I looked nothing like my twin brother Jeremy. Jeremy looks like mom and dad. Jeremy was raised at camp half-blood. It wasn't fair. I flipped to the picture of Piper, Jason, and I in our 'Roman Royalty' uniform. Jason's was a maroon cape and traditional armor. His helm was tucked under his arm. Piper's was a dress that matched Uncle J's cape She had a golden crown in her hair, which ended in a Golden-ish veil that had been flipped to the back. Mine was a dress similar to Piper's except it was White with gold flower designs below the waist. My crown was black. My crown was the one thing I liked, even if everyone called me the 'Dark Princess'.

"Is that your Uncle or something?" Alec asked pointing to Jason.

"Yep. He's Emporer of the Roman Empire." I answered, flipping the picture once again. This one was Percy Jackson and Annabeth Jackson with my 'I-look-like-my-parents-and-you-don't' twin brother Jeremy.

"The guy in the middle is my twin brother Jeremy, I would look just like him if I hadn't been changed to look like Uncle Jason and Aunt Piper's daughter." I sighed.

"That's what I was doing in Sicily, Alec. My dad's mother Maria was very wealthy, and she owned a House there. It was my only lead." I finished my story. I hadn't realized I had begun to cry until Alec reached over and caught one with his finger.

"Stupid tears" I muttered, earning a chuckle from Alec. I felt something inside me. Like my heart had swelled like the Grinch's and threatened to bust out of my chest at any second. It was an emotion I had only felt when I was with my brother Jeremy. Only this time it felt larger, warmer.

It was love.
