P: sorry it took so long! we seem to be inspired recently do hopefully you won't have to wait so long next time. Enjoy!
j; thought i would be nice and warn you guys you will probably laugh, cry, and/or fangirl/fanboy
"This is cabin 3. You'll be staying here and unless Chiron says otherwise, you'll be joining our cabin for activities. If you need anything just find one of us. Think you've got it?" Connor asked.
"I think so. I'll see you guys in the morning." Atlanta walked out to the porch with them.
"Bye. We'll come get you tomorrow afternoon for activities." Travis said as the boys walked down the steps.
Atlanta woke up to something rather heavy being thrown on her.
"What the hell do you want this early in the morning?" Atlanta grumbled without looking up. There was a small shriek before something sharp poked her in the back.
"Who are you and why are you in my cabin?" A male voice asked.
"Atlanta, daughter of Poseidon. Who wants to know?" She snapped.
"Percy Jackson, apparently your brother." The voice replied. Atlanta sat up and stared at the teen.
"Brother? They didn't mention a brother." Atlanta mumbled to herself. She got out of bed and walked out of the cabin. Percy followed her as she was obviously not awake. She walked up the Hades cabin steps and through the door.
"What is she doing?" He asked himself. The girl marched out of the cabin pulling Nico by his ear.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me about this?" She growled as she gestured to Percy.
"I forgot?" Nico guessed. He had honestly forgot about Percy with all the commotion the day before. She let go of his ear before marching back towards cabin 3.
"Where are you going?" Nico yelled.
"Back to bed!" She yelled.
"So, I have a sister now?" Percy asked.
"Glad you got that much Seaweed Brain."
"When did she get here?"
"Last night. FYI she's a very violent person." Nico said before he walked back into his cabin to sleep. Percy walked back to his cabin and just as he reached the door, the horn for breakfast went off.
"Damnit!" He heard the girl curse from inside.
Atlanta dragged her feet as she followed Percy to breakfast. She sat down and tucked her head under her arms.
"Are you ok?" Percy asked.
"Ask me when I've woken up." She mumbled.
"Ok?" Percy was confused. Connor Stoll was approaching the table.
"You guys are joining us for activities today." He shook Atlanta's shoulder. "Dr. Pepper." He spoke to her cup and pushed it towards her. He shook her shoulder.
"Wake up and drink the Dr. Pepper Princess." He said before he went to join his brother at the Hermes table. Atlanta picked up the cup and drank.
"French Toast." She told her plate and began eating. Percy watched the scene with amusement.
"So...something going on there already?" Percy smirked. Atlanta punched him in the arm.
"You're gross." She stood up and stretched.
"I'm going to head back and change. I'll see you later." Atlanta said before walking away.
"Where's Atlanta?" Connor asked Percy
"Why? She your girlfriend?" Percy teased.
"No. Just… no." Atlanta and Nico walked up. What Atlanta wore now was very different from the baggy sweatpants and sweater she had worn that morning. She had on dark jeans, a dark grey t-shirt, and boots. She had her hair pulled back in a short ponytail and had bandages wrapped around her left arm.
"What's with the bandages?" Percy asked. Atlanta glanced at Connor.
"I'll tell you later."
"Pretty good for your first time up the lava wall." Travis complemented as the Hermes, Poseidon, and Hades cabins headed to lunch.
"At least I didn't fall off like Percy did." She snickered. Percy pouted.
"You're the one that nearly kicked me in the face!" He playfully accused.
"Did not!" Atlanta argued. A blonde girl walked up and kissed Percy on the cheek.
"Who's this?" She inquired.
"Annabeth, this is my sister Atlanta. Atlanta, this is my girlfriend Annabeth." Percy introduced. Annabeth looked thoughtful.
"Atlanta La Rue?"
"Yes. Have I met you before?" Atlanta asked. She had to admit that the girl looked vaguely familiar.
"I pulled you back from that fire a few years ago remember?" Atlanta grimaced and looked at Percy. Annabeth's eyebrows raised before she nodded.
"Well then. Shall we head to lunch?" Annabeth asked.
"We shall." Percy proclaimed as he held his elbow out to Annabeth. She giggled before taking his elbow and they walked away.
"I'll see you guys after lunch. I'm going to take a walk." Atlanta excused herself from the rest of the campers.
"Meet you in the Poseidon cabin?" Nico asked.
"Sure. Bye guys." She waved and walked off towards the woods.
Atlanta walked towards Zeus' fist. Alec materialized from shadow and began walking beside her. She sat down beside the rock and Alec shrunk down to sit in her lap.
"I think I've finally done it. I think I've finally found a home." She hugged the dog and cried happy tears. She didn't notice him until he spoke.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Connor asked. She wiped at her eyes.
"No reason. I'm not crying."
"Don't lie to me. What's wrong?" Connor wrapped his arm around her shoulder and rubbed her arms.
"Nothing's wrong." She snapped hugging Alec closer to her chest.
"You can tell me you know. I won't tell anyone." He sounded so truthful but then again so had many others.
"I said nothing's wrong. Now leave before I sic Alec on you." She waited for him to leave as all the others had. He didn't.
"Alec attack!" Alec looked at Atlanta confused before stumbling into Connor's lap. He yipped at the boy before licking his face
"Traitor." Atlanta told the dog.
"I honestly want to know what's wrong. I hate to see you hurting."
"No you don't! You just want to know so you can go tell your friends about the damaged girl! You don't care about me! No one does!" She yelled as tears streamed down her face. Alec whined and nudged Atlanta's hand. She stood up and was about to storm off when Connor grabbed her arm.
"Look, I know you've been hurt before and I'm sorry. But I genuinely want to help and be your friend." Atlanta looked at the ground.
"I dont care if you're sorry! Everyone's sorry! Sorry won't bring them back! I don't need your help!" She tightened her grip on Alec.
"I..I..I don't need anyone." Connor pulled her into a hug.
"I know it hurts and I know I can't bring them back but you can't shut everyone out. You can't bottle everything inside, it's not healthy and when your walls come crashing down, they'll fall hard." She looked up at him. The honesty she saw there surprised her. Here was someone who actually cared. She buried her face in his chest and cried.
"Let it all out. It won't solve everything but it'll get easier."
"I know I shouldn't hold it in but it's just easier. I haven't really had a friend or any family for a while. Thanks." She said as she pulled away. They sat back down.
"Want to talk now?" Connor asked
