PLOT TWIST, RIGHT? SOCIALLY CHALLENGED FOR THE WIN!
Sierra POV
I was pushed and shoved as I went to the Hermes cabin that night. Everybody steered clear except Annabeth, Percy, and Atalanta. Even the Ares cabin seemed afraid of me. "It's not your fault that your Kronos's daughter. At least you don't have to worry about the Ares cabin. They're not going near you for a while." Annabeth assured me. "That's the problem." I mumbled. Why me? I thought. "I want to be noticed, though. I want to feel at home here. Nowhere else never seemed right until we moved to Manhattan. Now, I finally know what was missing, but I'm being rejected now." "All right," Percy said. "Let's focus on the half funny half weird things. First of all, how the heck did Kronos get a wife anyway? Did he, like, take the dorm of a sheep or something?" "No." I said automatically. " My mom always said she met him by the beach, during the summer. She fell for him, but quickly realized he was evil and divorced him. She was just happy she gave birth to me. When I left, she was on a business trip." I said, and felt my eyes begin to sting. I hadn't seen my mom for a month, and she wasn't even home for my birthday. I felt a swell of anger, but quickly pushed back down. Then I heard someone whisper to another, "I say we shove her back out. We're on the verge of war with the titans. Who's side would she be on?" I lowered my head and wanted to disappear, right then and there, and go to sleep, and wake up and find myself in my room, for this to be only a dream. I closed my eyes and counted to three, and then opened them again, but my wish had not come true. Chiron catered up and looked at me in sympathy. "You'll be sleeping in the Big House tonight, since you can tell we don't like him very much. Sierra, daughter of Kronos, we're going to see just how much you can do."
