A/N: Hey! So here's the next chapter of The Other One! I'm so hyper right now...I have no clue why though. So I decided to update today! I'll try to post the next one next week or the next but if I don't, it's because I'm super busy! Anyways back to Percy!

I couldn't believe it. I found Aeryn. I found my sister. I found the person I was supposed to. I…I didn't know what I felt! It was just amazing. "I found her…." I whispered. "My…quest is finished. Now I just need to talk to her." I breathed. I couldn't believe it. I thought I wouldn't find her, mostly because it just seemed so ridiculous. I had a twin sister and it was unbelievable. My mom, the woman who I thought told me almost everything, kept a secret so big and I couldn't deal with it. I looked around the hotel, we had decided to go back before the parade ended. It was going to be a few hours since it was going to be a parade. Parades are normally long.

"You found her. She looks exactly like you." Annabeth said. We both looked at each other for a second and then I smiled.

"Yeah I found her. You know I have to say, this quest was one of the easier-"

"Don't say that Percy! You say it before something happens and something always happens with you!" Grover yelled and then bleated from the restroom. He walked out and shook his head. "Don't you know the gods love to twist words, especially yours?"

"Well…yeah but, the gods don't really know about this quest. It's not a real quest." I told him. I didn't really understand why Poseidon had to keep this under wraps. Was the prophecy really that big? What about this prophecy? Which would come first? This was giving me a big headache, and I wasn't even acting like myself. I'm such a wreck, maybe when I actually talked to my sister all this would get better and I wouldn't be acting so weird.

"Percy? Did you even hear what I said?" Grover asked. He had a worried expression on his face and so did Annabeth.

"Sorry, I'm just thinking about everything. It's giving me a big headache and I'm acting so weird, I know that. It's like ever since I found out I had a sister, a twin at that, I've been so overwhelmed. I'm sorry for blanking out on you and everything." I said.

Annabeth frowned. "Grover? Can you give me a few minutes with Percy alone?"

"Uh, yeah, sure Annabeth." Grover bleated and went out with his crutches.

"Percy…you care to share your concerns?" Annabeth asked. "I…know we haven't talked much about everything but I want you to know, I like you. A lot. And I know you like me a lot also." Annabeth bit her bottom lip. I knew that she didn't show emotion like that a lot, not since Luke.

"Ann-"

"No, let me say this. I understand that you have a ton of emotions coursing through you right now. That you have serious stuff going on and I just want to let you know that I am here for you, seaweed brain." Annabeth cracked a smile at the end.

I laughed with her. Annabeth, she was beautiful, amazing, practically everything I loved. I loved her. Whoa…did I just say that? I-I…I know I like her but…love? I seriously am going into a weird state if I thought that. Not that it's a bad emotion and Annabeth wasn't someone I couldn't love…it's just I'm sixteen years old. I couldn't be in love already….right? I smiled at Annabeth, hiding what I was thinking. "Thanks wise girl. I think I'm just going through a lot right now like you said. And yeah, I do like you a lot…I want you to be my girlfriend but I don't want you to get hurt. And before you say something, I know you can protect yourself. It's just that I lo-like you a lot and I don't want you getting hurt, I would do anything to keep you safe. Even letting myself get killed. If someone ever hurt you, I'd hurt them…more than they hurt you…and that scares me. I'm not a violent person, you know that. Anyways, I think that everything that's going on will get better once we talk with Nixie…or Aeryn…or whatever she wants to be called."

Annabeth smiled and sat next to me. She leaned in near me and kissed me on the lips. I kissed her back and smiled in it. This was our second kiss since when we kissed at the bottom of the lake in Camp Halfblood. I had to admit, I could get used to kissing her. It was pure bliss. Like nothing but me and her mattered. And coming from a guy, that's something. Since I know what a guy thinking of a girl when they just can't help themselves. I think I'm pretty good at not thinking of that stuff. I think it's because I have an amazing girl right there in my arms. She broke the kiss and smiled. "Look at me. Look in my eyes and listen to me Percy. I don't care…when I'm with you, I feel complete. We don't have to be officially boyfriend and girlfriend. I'm ok with not going on dates with you, at least for now. I know that there are things that happen and that you don't want me to be in harm's way but it's going to happen. And yeah, I know you know that. I'm a demigod. Trouble follows us like a fly to light. We can't help it." We both smiled at each other before I spoke.

"Well, I think the parade has ended. We should probably go meet Aeryn, or Nixie, at the high school." I smiled at Annabeth and got up.

"You're probably right. If we don't go, she may leave and we may never have another chance to talk with her." Annabeth said with a smile. I grabbed my sneakers and put them on. Annabeth grabbed her shoes and we both walked out of the room. Grover was standing there, looking very bored.

"Are we going?" Grover asked.

"Yeah, we are." I told him with a smile. "Let's go walk towards the high school!" I exclaimed with a small laugh. Annabeth had made me…almost my normal self. "This is going to be fun." I said sarcastically. I didn't know if it would actually be that fun, mostly because I didn't even know how she would react. I know I wouldn't have believed me if I was her. She'd probably think we were crazy until I showed her my power.

As we walked towards the high school, we all talked about what we were going to do. We decided I would talk the most, mostly because I was her brother and she had to also see that we looked a lot alike.

"I wonder if she knows she's adopted." Annabeth mused for a second. I stopped in my tracks as my eyes widened.

"Just another obstacle!" I exclaimed. "If she doesn't know that she's adopted, then she won't be able to handle this even more! This just got a whole lot more complicated." I said with a sigh as I continued to walk.

"You are right, Perce…this is so complicated. And your dad should've told you this when you were younger." Grover said.

"No, I don't think so…I wouldn't want Aeryn to find out and have that prophecy on her like that. It wouldn't be right." We continued to talk as we saw the high school in our view.

Beth: Thanks! I will try to update as much as possible!

Evil Girl: I am so sorry I totally looked over your review but thank you so much!
