CHAPTER 7- Who's She?

Sydney Pov

My heart pounded, they looked exactly how Rick described them. Poseidon talked the ocean, soft but ruff when it needed to be. "I don't understand why you two have to come!" He whined. Athena crossed her arms, "Well I'm here to prove to everyone that I better then you. The rule was that you were supposed to claimed them at thirteen!" My stomach flipped.

There was no way I was his kid. Athena was probably overacting because he didn't claim the kid the second he turned thirteen. She continued, "And I'm here to see that you are put to shame, the way you should be." Poseidon's eyebrows scrunched together. "Why would I be put to shame?"

" Um because you broke your own son's rule and she's probably not going to be to happy with you. Especially considering her situation. Plus the better question would be, why is she here?" Athena pointed at the love goddess. "I have my reasons." Aphrodite said simply. "Get on with it!" Travis yelled from beside me. Athena glared sharply at him and he coward back. We then looked at Poseidon expectantly, but he stayed awkwardly quiet.

Athena groaned and rolled her eyes. "Alright, I guess I'll do it. Andromeda? Come forth." Everyone began looking around and whispering. As far as I knew, there is no Andromeda at camp. "Andromeda? I said come here!" "She was adopted, she goes by another name." I heard Aphrodite whisper to Athena. That made me jump out of my skin, I was adopted. You just couldn't tell, and I didn't tell many people. It didn't seem very important to me. Poseidon stepped forward, "Sydney. Come here, my dear." All eyes landed on me. I numbly got up and walked to them.

He brushed my cheek, and I kept my eyes locked on his. "Sydney, I'm am ever so sorry I left you. But the prophecy wasn't meant for you. I had to send you away." Percy stood up, "Wait so your saying, if you hadn't had her adopted, the prophecy would have been hers?" "Not exactly. But I knew your mother couldn't handle two of my children, so I had to have her given up." Percy's eyebrows rose up, "Why would my mom have to take care of Sydney?" Poseidon turned to address me.

"Percy, meet your twin sister, Sydney." Aphrodite squealed, "Oh! Can take off her disguise?" Before she could get an answer of any kind, she blasted a pink shimmery light at me. She then gave me a mirror. My face was the same but eyes and hair… lets just say I look like the girl version of Percy. It was almost uncanny how alike we looked now.

"Come on Andromeda, take you seat at the Poseidon table." Athena said with smirk. Again, I numbly walked to the table and sat down. I knew Percy was starring at me with wide eyes but I couldn't bare to bring my eyes up to his.

THIS IS A LINE, THIS IS A LINE, THIS IS A LINE, THIS IS

After the exciting lunch, Percy told me we had free period. I told him I wanted to go to archery practice and he said sure and started to walk with me. That's when I told him I wanted to be alone, his face dropped a bit and oh okay I understand. I smiled gratefully. So now I have the whole archery field to myself.

I get ready to aim, on three. One, two, thre- "You know black hair is totally your thing." The arrow ended up in the dirt three feet away. I whipped around to see who had thrown me off and found Nico. "And green eyes." He added. I chuckled a bit as I retrieved the arrow. "You really think so?" He nodded, "So why are you out here by yourself?" I took a deep breath and aimed again. "I needed to be by myself, so I told everyone else to scram." I released and got pretty close to dead center. "Oh, good one." He said and passed me an arrow. "I like to work off all my anger and not take it out on others." I said and shot again.

"Your angry?" I shot him an evil look. "Oh, sorry. Stupid question." I sighed, "No I'm sorry, I just am upset he got picked instead of me. But hey, I'll get over it." He gave me a half smile. "Okay. Hey you wanna know what I do when I'm mad?" "Kill people?" I laughed. Nico shook his head, "No but close. I go destroy some of the dummies in the area." That sounded interesting.

"Go on." "So you want to?" I smiled, "Yeah! Who doesn't like destroying things?" "Stupid people that's who!" I yelled.

Nico Pov

When we got to the area we saw Elle and Rose already there. "Whatcha guys doing?" Sydney asked. "Well Andromeda I'm getting a tan while Elle is fighting against an animate object." Rose answered. "It is a dummy, Dummy!" Elle shouted back.

"Well we were just coming down here to destroy some dummies." I told them. "Well don't look at me!" Rose yelled. Sydney laughed, "Wouldn't dream of it. Oh wait I would!" We both ended up cracking up while Rose put on her 'I'm going to cry' face. "Aw come on we don't mean it. At least I don't." Sydney looked my way

. "No promises." I informed her. She put on a shocked face, "Well you wouldn't hurt me cuz Elle is your sister. And she's my best friend!" I shrugged. "I don't have to do what she says." "He doesn't" Elle yelled back. "That's just great! I could be killed by you and nobody would even try to stop you!" Rose screamed. "Pretty much." We all chorused. She then stopped her foot and we all laughed. We were having a good time until Annabeth charged in. "Guys! We have a big problem. Aphrodite's gone missing." Well that ended the day's fun.

I originally wasn't going to put Elle and Rose in this chapter but I decided to because my friend who I based Rose off of is reading this chapter. So there is your shout out! R&R! And sadly I am not Rick Riordan.
