"Really? My mom's Gaea? That means…. Kronos is my brother, and my family is the enemy? I did not expect that."
Annabeth has this look, and I say in my defense "I never said I wanted this you know. This burden came to me. Just because my mother is evil doesn't mean that I am."
"I know that. It's just that people like you, as in mothers and fathers that are evil; they tend to have a light side, and a dark side. You have self control, right?"
I think about that, then Chiron says "Hustle up people! C'mon, don't take your time, we don't have all day! Now, we're going to play Capture the Flag! Which team will have Sistra?" Nobody offers, then Jason, leader of one of the teams say "We'll take her." I get armour, and we get ready to fight. Annabeth says "Okay team. We're against Hephaestus, Apollo and Ares. We're going to have to strategize what we're going to do." We get everything set up, and I'm playing defense with Piper.
"So, Piper, people say you can charmspeak. What's that?"
"It's kind of like hypnotizing."
"Oh. There's someone behind you!" She turns, and starts to go to her (I think her name's Clarisse) and I feel another person coming. My knives ready, and I turn to see Leo.
"Hey there. You know I'm going to pin you up, right?"
"Give me a chance?"
I pretend to think about it, and when I know he's not paying attention, I pin him up. I see Annabeth running with the other team's flag, and I try out something I've never done before. I think about easing the ground under her, and to my relief and satisfaction, she's runs much faster, and in no time, we win. I take out the knives that pinned Leo and I say "So Repair Boy, do you think I'm the enemy?" I smirk and run beside Annabeth, celebrating our victory. Under her breath, she whispers to me "I know you helped me win. You should tell Chiron who your mother is." I consider it, but at the moment, I just want to think of our victory.
"Okay Annabeth, I'm going!" It's past dinner, and I go up to Chiron. "Err….Chiron?"
"Yes Sistra?"
"During my sleep, I've been claimed."
"Really? Who's your mother?"
"She's err…..Gaea."
He stares at me for a whole 10 seconds, then starts to laugh.
"Ha ha ha! That's a nice joke, but now the truth."
"That is the truth. I can tell when people are coming because I can feel their vibrations from the ground. I can levitate metal because it's from the ground. I can turn the ground into quicksand, and probably a whole bunch of other stuff." I answer the questions that were bugging me, and Chiron has a very serious look on his face.
"I swear Chiron; I'm not a bad person."
"Yes, I can see that. But you can't tell anyone who your mother is, do you understand?"
I nod, and I head back to my cabin. I get dressed for bed, and easily fall asleep.
"You don't have to do this."
"Mom! Can you hear me?"
"Yes, I can."
"People are saying you're evil. Is that true?"
"It depends. What's your definition of evil?"
My definition of evil? "Mom, keeping the world at peace and balance is my definition of good. Changing the world because you don't like it is my definition of evil."
"Whose side are you on? Are you on your mother's side? Or are you going to be a traitor?"
