Hi you guys! :) I kinda left you on a cliffhanger that was probably obvious for some of you. Can you let me know so I can work on my cliffhangers. Any way things are heating up, and a huge reveal is in this chapter. Plus make sure you check out Thalia's Fleece, a story a co-wrote with Natan Amian Hamead Rock. So without further ado... my story


Chapter Seven: The Ultimate Reveal (So watch out)

This was long overdue anyway, they were going to figure out anyway. Those thoughts were going through my mind at the time when I walked to Thalia's. I rang the doorbell once and it immediately flew open. There was Thalia, in black pajama bottoms and a t-shirt with a picture of the Eiffel Tower, hands on her hips and a curious (and sort of pissed) look on her opened the door wordlessly and I could tell how bad she felt about this. Usually Thalia jokingly chewed off anyone who was late. I followed her wordlessly to the living room. There are two living rooms, one for Jason and one for Thalia. Her living room was lavender with silver stars painted on the roof. She had a plasma TV, a popcorn maker, two grey couches and some grey bean bags.

We sat on the beanbags and were silent for a second until Thalia said "You have 10 minutes to explain what's going on"

I explained things to her as carefully as I could, starting with Luke's arrival and ending with the fight I had with my mother. Her look faded from curiosity to pity to anger. I explained my plan and her eyes widen to the size frisbees.

"Thalia, I'm not asking you to say anything about your identity and I won't say anything unless you tell me otherwise." I said before she could say something.

Her mouth was still opening "And yes I thought this through and No this is not a mistake"

She still opened her mouth and I was waiting for a string of pleas, insults and ridicules. But instead, Thalia enveloped me in a bone-crushing hug. She whispered in my ear "I am so proud of you Annie."

I knew she wasn't mad anymore.

My phone, all of the sudden made a Whoosh sound. We broke apart.

"Hey Thalia, can you round up everyone for me."

"Yeah, no problem"

We got up and wiped our eyes, we were so caught up on everything that we hadn't realized that we were both crying and that an hour had already passed. I got a text from Malcolm.

(Malcolm/ Annabeth)

Mom's gone. She is pissed!

Did she say anything about my party?

she just muttered "She is not getting away with this!" over and over as she stormed out and plants died when she walked past them.

So she's in a good mood huh? I grinned

Lol, Be serious!

I am!

Fine, tell me this brilliant plan of yours when you get home tomorrow

No problem, big brother

Nice Annie real nice

Oh shut your ass you know im just nervous!

Yeah, well bye mister...oops I mean little sister

Bye slow blonde

With that I shut of my phone and thought about the time me and Percy went to Quintus's Ranch

*Sup I'm a Flashback!*

I got home and changed into some jeans, riding boots and a white blouse. I headed straight towards the ranch, the handlers knew me since I've ridden my horse Guido since I was 7 and put him in the ranch when I transferred to Goode. Percy must keep his famous Blackjack here too. Not that I want to brag but back in Athens, me and Guido have won the Gold for 4 years running and are the champs of the international competitions of the greek isles.

Anyway, Quintus was one of my mother's advisor until his young nephew Pendrix died in Athens so he moved here and put up a ranch and trains both horse riders and sword experts with the help of Master Chiron. Quintus still has a soft spot for my family and lets me train here whenever i want.

I went up to the tallest hill we have to see that Percy (with the help of a handler of course) was bathing the horses. A black stallion was standing by Percy as he scrubbed him with a rag. As soon as the horse saw me he shook like a dog and ran towards me along with Guido. Poor Percy had been on a stool so when the horses ran he was knocked into a bucket of soapy water with his uh rear end stuck in it. Eventually I calmed down the horses enough and brought them back to the hill and helped Percy up.

"Not exactly the most convenient entry Annabeth!" He said sarcastically

"hey, not my fault your horse went gaga when he saw me!" I found a towel and started to dry him off.

"See now you're gonna have this image when someone mentions "horse" or "bucket" or "water"!" He threw his arms up in fake frustration.

I just laughed at his childishness.

We both hosed the horses and thanked the handler for helping us. We eventually started riding down a trail by the lake. I know it sounds super cheesy but there just so happened to be a small lake in this ranch. We just talked about family and friends and eventually got to know each other well. We saw the fireworks they did this weekend (they do this every weekend) and that how we became best friends. I have to admit that he was right. to this day I still laugh when someone mentions "buckets of water" or "horses". I also smile like crazy but when you have somebody like that as your friend and the friendship is based on wacko stuff like that. yo just realize how awesome and strong the friendship ( and eventual relationship) is.

*Bye- bye said the flashback*

"Hey Annabeth" someone asked.

I turned around to see Percy standing in the door.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just..." my voice faded and I stood up and opened my arms out.

Percy hesitated for a second but surged forward and held me with his chin on my head.

"it's gonna be ok"

"yeah it is" I sniffled and then I kissed his cheek.

"Their ready for you"

"yeah can you..."

He let go of me and grabbed my hand. "i got your back"

We walked in to the media room where everyone was. Piper, Jason and Frank and Hazel were wedged into one couch. Reyna and Leo where sitting in bean bag chairs across from them. Grover was in a fancy chair next to the couch and Katie and Travis were sitting in a Love seat with Connor on the ground beneath them but with a couple of pillows and Thalia and Nico where leaning against a wall raising their eyebrows expectantly.

I sighed, here it goes.

"Ok you all know that I have something big to say. it's something that I was supposed to keep a secret for two more weeks but I guess I have to say it now. But all of you have to swear not to say anything! I mean it... Stolls." I turned to look at them,

Travis started to talk "Woah, hold up are you implying that-"

"Katie!" I yelled.

"Just swear already morons!" she held her hands up ready to slap them.

They quickly looked at me and said "Cross my heart hope to die! Stoll's Honor!"

I nodded "Ok so you all know that I'm from Athens right!"

They all nodded.

"Welli'msortathecrownprincessandi'vebeenkeepingitasecretfromyouallandmybirthdayisintwoweekswhichmeansIgettoruleAthensintwoweeksandi'vebeeninhidingforoverthreeyears and I love you all pleasedon'thurtme!"

I waited for a second to let them all process and then they all shouted "what the hell?!"

Except for Thalia, Piper and Percy of course. But they all started arguing with each other. Thalia and Piper were arguing about whether they should come clean or not while Jason yells at them for god knows what and everyone else was just throwing questions at me.

"Okay, SHUT UP !" Percy shouted.

"ok I'll answer all of your questions"

I looked at Reyna "No, I won't leave right away. I'll go after graduation next year but i have to spend summer in Athens. Maybe you can come with" She nodded

"Leo, I am not going to show you the armory workshops because they are top-secret!" He looked dejected.

"hey, Pipes you can do whatever you want but please stay my friend ok" She nodded and smiled

"thanks for the support Thalia" she winked at me

"yeah, Jason I am like your sister" he whispered a silent ohhhhh.

"Frank, I went into hiding when i was 12 and no Hazel, I wasn't scared" they nodded in understanding

"The flowers of Athens is the rare white orchid rose, the once you saw at my house Grover" He nodded

"NO I WON'T LET YOU BORROW MONEY STOLLS! im loaded but not that loaded" They looked ready to say something but just muttered something incomprehensible.

"Katie it would be a dream come true if you could make the birthday cake." She squealed in delight.

"Yeah Nico, like I'm gonna let you near any of my hot cousin!" He just put on a blank face.

"Ok so the reason I told you guys this info is because one my mother wants me to have Luke as my date and two she want to throw the party as a fancy ball room dinner."

"How do you know she's going to do that?" Katie piped up

"Because I know my mother. This woman made me take a whole french course as soon as I turned 5 and she put a video chip implant on my book bag in Pre-K trust me when I say she has no limit! NOw I want your help to totally show my mom she doesnt own me."

"And just how do plan on doing that?" Reyna questioned

"stolls!"

They were posing like that statue the thinker. "my dear Annie" Connor started

"you have to think first" Travis continued

"do you want to sneak out and have fun?" Connor said

"Or do you want to rub it in her face?" both smiled evilly.

"Second option" I snapped my fingers

"Ok then, this calls for a classic yet totally awesome flash mob!" Travis stated

"Aww I tought we were just gonna plant a stink bomb and get the hell out of there!" Connor whined

"And that ladies and gentlemen is why Travis is the smart twin" Katie said

"Aww thanks Katie-Kat" and he threw his arm around Katie.

"Don't push it!" she snapped and brought his arm back while Connor laughed.

"Okay! i love it!" Thalia said and everyone sorta agreed.

"But first let's see where your mom will throw that party now and then we get together and plan this thing ok?" Percy said

"i like it! Why don't we all get some sleep and then since its Saturday why don't we go to that new karaoke place in the morning? I heard there's a buffet?" i said.

We all slept where we were sitting and tried to stomach the fact that we were getting ready for an epic burn of mass proportions. If I only knew then how the story would turn out but hey I have no regrets because im telling the story right now aren't I.
