Percy's POV
"Are you sure, Percy?" Chiron asks me for the millionth time.
"Yes, I'm sure. Dad sent me a dream last night and I ran into her when she was leaving the stables. When I asked the pegusi, they confirmed it. So yes, I am completely sure." I tell him. The dream confirmed what I've been suspecting for a while.
Hearing footsteps, I look up and see Annabeth walk into the room. "I got her up but I might've accidentally pushed a button." She tells us.
"What did you do?" I ask her.
"She was talking in her sleep and I heard her say a name before I woke her up. When I asked her about it she turned white and snapped at me, saying it was none of my business." Annabeth sighs and starts to leave.
"What name did she say?" Dionysus asks from where he was sitting. As usual he was wearing a leopard print shirt.
"Amelia." Chiron and Dionysus look at each other and shrug.
"Never heard it," he tells Chiron.
"Neither have I but…" Chiron was interrupted by Ari walking in the room. "It's nice of you to join us, Ari." She gives him a look before she sits down on the window sill.
Dionysus gives me an amused look and tells her, "We know who your father is."
This gets a reaction from her. "Really? Who?" I realize this is the most excited I've seen her.
"Percy, do you want to tell her?" He turns to me.
"Ummm… Sure." I turn to her. "Poseidon"
Ari's POV
"Poseidon." Percy tells me. I widen my eyes in shock. Did he really just say that? Wait, doesn't that mean he's my brother?
"Wha-at?" I stutter. My mind wasn't quite working correctly. Dionysus decides to jump.
"Oh, yes. Your dad is the god of the sea." Oh, he was enjoying this. If only I could wipe that smirk off his face.
Percy cuts in before I can say anything. "That also means we are siblings." At least he looks as uncomfortable as me.
"So my dad's Poseidon and we're siblings. How do you guys know this?" I ask, looking around the room.
This time, Chiron is the one to answer. "Percy received a dream from his, I mean your guy's, father."
"I also went to the stables and the pegusi confirmed it." Percy adds. I nod, I knew I was spending too much time there.
"Does this mean my training is going to be different?" I ask them.
"Only a little bit and you'll be living into Cabin 13." He pauses and studies me for a second. He continues, "You should get your stuff so we can get you settled." I take that as my cue to leave.
When I get to my room, I stand there for a second so my mind can fully catch up. After it does, I start throwing things in my bag. It doesn't take that long since still don't have a lot of stuff. Ready, I look around the room one last time and leave. Halfway down the hall, I hear them talking. I pause and listen.
"What about the other part of my dream?" Percy asks.
"I don't know, but we should be careful. Keep a close eye on her. We don't know if it means she could be threat, in danger, or keeping secrets that might be dangerous." It takes me a second to realize they're talking about me.
What in Percy's dream is making them think I'm dangerous? Sure, I am but not to them. Also, I do have my fair amount of secrets. But what did Poseidon say to Percy. Deciding I heard enough, I start to head into the room. When I get to the doorway, the conversation immediately stops.
Chiron is the first one to break the silence. "Are you ready?" I nod my head.
"I guess we should be leaving then." Percy gets up and starts heading towards the door. Taking a look around the room, I follow him.
"So, how do you like camp so far?" He awkwardly asks me.
"Just fine. It's better than a lot of places I've been." That was true. Here I get free, good meals, while out there I would either I have to dumpster dive or find a way to pay for it.
"Why do you always say 'a lot of places you've been'?" He asks me, curiously.
I consider whether or not to give the answer. Deciding it was okay, I say, "I haven't been home in a while. I'm pretty much a nomad."
"Where were you born?"
"New Orleans."
"Now the accent makes sense." He says, getting a smile out of me.
"How 'bout you?" I ask him. "Where are you from?"
"New York City. I go home for the school year and come back here every summer. Are you going home after summer ends?" Percy asks.
I stiffen and when I answer, my voice is hard. "I don't think so." He looks at me and nods.
"The camp is year-round so you can stay here." That's good news, and apparently my reaction wasn't that weird.
We walk in silence in till we reach one of the cabins that were closer to the ocean. Percy leads me up the stairs. He pauses before he opens the door.
"Welcome to your new home." He smiles and opens the door. Inside, the walls seemed to glow and all the windows faced the sea. Hanging from ceiling was bronze fish-horse things. There were six bunk-beds. On the window sill were sea plants and corals. The whole cabin smelled faintly like the ocean.
"This is amazing!" I state. Percy laughs and tries to pull me from the window. Finally, I turn away from the beautiful scene it presented.
"You can sleep anywhere you want except for those two beds." He says, pointing to the beds he was talking about. I nod my head and pick one of the lower beds by the window I was looking out of. "We got a couple of minutes before breakfast, so you can make yourself comfortable. I need to talk to Annabeth, see you at the pavilion." With that he turns and leaves.
Happy to be alone for a while, I lay back and look at the ceiling. The cabin was beautiful but I wish Amelia was here. Remembering something, I sit up quickly.
Gods, Annabeth heard me say her name. It's only a short period of time before Percy asks me about it. I don't tell people a lot of things but I don't like lying. Maybe I should just tell him the truth. I did tell someone about it once and he didn't hate me, but he also understood what I was. Laying back down, I tell myself not to think about it.
