a/n: I feel like sleeping right now but I couldn't do that to my fans. I have to write whenever I get the chance even if I only slept two hours this morning.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot and my characters.

Recap: I laid down on my bunk and went to sleep. I had a dream…

Emily POV

Dream….

There were three women in the room. I recognized all three. There was my mom, my Aunt Sandra, and then there was Ms. Sally Jackson herself. I recognized her from some pictures my mom showed me.

"She's at camp." My mom told Sally and Sandra. Sally huffed a sigh and relief washed over her features.

Sally turned to Sandra and said "Thank you so much for protecting her, Lady Aphrodite." What? My Aunt Sandra is really Aphrodite? That's crazy.

"It was my pleasure. Emily needed some extra protecting with her special abilities, just as Percy did." San- Aphrodite said.

Sally's face saddened at the mention of her son and she said, "I wish they had been able to meet before Emily knew she was hafblood."

"Oh! That's right, I forgot to tell you Sally, at the beginning of the school year, Emily came home and told me she met a boy named Percy at school and his two friends Annabeth and Grover. They became great friends. They were all always over at Ivy's house. I told you about Ivy, didn't I?" my mom started, Sally nodded and my mom continued, "Turns out she's a halfblood too. I talked to her mother, turns out she's a daughter of Zeus. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover took Emily and Ivy to camp this afternoon." She finished.

Again a look of relief washed over Sally's features and she said, "I'm glad they got to know each other before the stress of being a halfblood was on both of them."

Aphrodite spoke up then. "She knows Percy's her brother. She knows Poseidon is her father. But of course Poseidon has no idea she is even alive. He thinks she died when she got that major injury to her back all those years ago."

"What back injury?" Sally asked surprised.

"Didn't I tell you Sally?" my mom asked. Sally shook her head. My mom told her about a cheerleading accident I had a few years ago. We were practicing in the gym, and they threw me up and I hit the ceiling because they threw me too high. They were all so surprised that I hit the ceiling that they forgot to catch me when I came back down.

"Anyway," my mom said continuing the previous conversation, "Should we tell Poseidon that she's alive?" my mom asked.

Then the dream started to fade just as I heard Aphrodite say "No, that's for her to do herself."

Next thing I knew I felt Ivy gently shaking me awake. "Em, wake up!" she whisper-screamed in my ear.

"hmmmumaaamum" was my intelligent answer.

"Wake up! It's your Birthday!" that's right I never told Ivy what my real birthday was. Well, now's as good a time as ever.

I sat up and started to talk."Ivy, I have something really important to tell you. Today isn't my birthday. It's august 18. I'm already 16. Percy is my twin brother." Then I went into the whole story about how I knew Percy was my brother. Then I told her about my dream last night. I was changing the whole time I was talking by the time I was done we were walking out the door.

I opened the door and Percy was standing there a shocked look plastered on his face.

"How much did you hear?" I asked, annoyed that he had eavesdropped on our conversation.

"Enough." He said. He seemed pretty freaked out.

"Percy, you okay?" Ivy asked. "You look really pale." she observed.

"Not really, I just learned that one of my best friends is actually my twin sister!" he whisper yelled.

"Percy calm down, and don't tell anyone. I don't want anyone else to know until dad does." I said. They both nodded and we went off to breakfast.

Percy POV

I can't believe this! Emily's my sister! How much more messed up can my life get. I was thinking about this on our way to breakfast. The big three children all share a table because there aren't that many campers. Breakfast was pretty uneventful. After breakfast I was putting on my armor for sword fighting practice and Annabeth came up to me. she looked really sad.

"Hey Anna, what's wrong?" I asked.

"I have to tell you something." She whispered. She grabbed my hand and dragged me into the woods over to Zeus' fist. She sat down at the base of a tree and started to cry. (a/n: long convo so Percy bold and annabeth italics.)

"Annabeth, what's the matter, who did it, I'll beat them up for you even though you don't need my help with that."

*sniffles "no one did anything Percy."

"Than what's wrong?"

"I got accepted into an architecture school." *more sniffling

"Annabeth that's great."

*shakes head "Percy… the school's in Greece."

"Well that's okay. We can Iris message each other every day and-"

*shaking head "no Percy. We know that I'm going to get caught up in our school work and you're going to be busy at camp and it just won't work out. W-we have to break up." *cries

*holding back tears "When do you leave?"

"Right now."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Because I wanted to spend as much time with you as possible before we had to say goodbye."

"Goodbye Annabeth."

"Goodbye Percy."

She gave me a hug and one last kiss on the cheek before running of back to camp. I followed slowly for behind, crying and sniffling. I went straight to my cabin without stopping to talk to anyone. I went in and Ivy was sitting on my bed.

"Oh hey Percy Chiron told me to find you so I thought I'd just wait here for-" she started and then she noticed the state I was in. "Oh my gods Percy! What happened?" she asked.

The only thing I could choke out between my broken sobs was "gone… she's gone.."

"Percy, who's gone? Come on. Talk to me Percy. What's wrong."

"Annabeth… She's gone." I said a little more clearly.

"Oh my gods! Is she okay?" she asked.

"No Ivy, it's not like that. She didn't disappear, she left."

"Left? To where?" she asked.

"Greece." I said. She stared at me for a second and then she pulled me into a hug.

I wasn't sobbing anymore and tears were silently cascading down my face. We sat like that for a while, Ivy soothing me and letting my ruin her shirt.

That was the only time I felt completely vulnerable and open. I've never been like this around anyone before. No one has every seen me cry. I knew I was acting like a baby and I didn't care. No one else was ever going to see me like this, ever. No one except for Ivy. She was from now on my comfort, the person I can go to in my time of need.

"Hey Percy?" she said a little while later.

"Hmm?" I asked.

"I know you're probably gonna think this is really corny" she chuckled "but I want you to know that I'm always her for you no matter what." she said.

This time I was the one to pull her into a hug. "I know. Thanks Ivy."

"No problem Percy. I have to go. I have to talk to Emily. She says it's really important." She said.

And with one last wave, she walked out of the door.
