Annabeth's P.O.V
I walk in carrying all the bags and boxes.
"All right." I say. "I got everything you asked for in every shade, surprisingly"
I didn't get to finish because my stepcousins shove me in a closet.
I pound on it demanding that they let me out.
Nico's P.O.V
"Who was that?" I ask.
The girls with the cake faces say, "Our maid."
I could obviously tell they were lying because you don't just shove someone into a closet for no reason.
I "accidentally" let go of Mrs. O'Leary's chain and she bounded toward the two girls chasing them away from the closet door.
Percy walks toward the closet door and opens it. A girl with curly blonde hair and stormy grey eyes falls out.
"Smooth moves Blondie." I smirk.
"Jade" who was standing next to me sucker-punched me in the gut.
"Shut up." She says, fire burning in her beautiful green eyes. She really looks like she could be Percy's sister.
I gulp and say, as if to swear on my life, "Yes ma'am."
Percy's P.O.V
I help "Blondie" up to her feet. "Are you Annabeth Chase?" I ask.
She meets my eyes and comes to a realization of who I am. Not that I actually want to be recognized.
She bows deeply and says, "Yes, Your Majesty."
I clasp the locket around her neck. "Then I think this is yours."
"Wait! What's going on?" Taraline asks.
Everybody starts talking at the same time and she shouts, "STOP!"
She points to Jade. "You. Only you. Tell me the truth."
Jade doesn't meet the eyes of Taraline.
"Jade?" Taraline says. Only her voice is more of a comforting tone instead of the booming voice she had earlier.
"Jade?" She repeats. "What happened?"
Jade's P.O.V
I broke looking into her big blue eyes. I told her the story and broke down in tears at the end.
I felt comforting arms wrap around me. "Hey," Taraline says. "I may be your mentor but I'm still your mother."
At those words everones mouth dropped.
"WHAT?!" They all shout.
Annabeth comes up tp me. "She's your mother?!"
I frown. "Did I forget to metion that?"
She nods. "Um, yeah! You kind of did!"
So I began the whole story of my grandfather and grandmother and how it came to be.
"Now, a long, long time ago..."
