By the time that we got back to my house, it was late, close to two in the morning. That worked out fine for us though because that meant that everyone else in the house was asleep. I had Delta sleep on the floor in my room while I put Andromeda and the little daughter of Athena on my bed.
"What are we going to do now?" I asked Annabeth when we got to her room. Because she's always at our house throughout the whole year, my mom just gave her a room.
"Well, they are both part of the prophecy, so I don't know at the moment. I mean without them we will lose the war, but in order to get them on our side we have to find out why they hate the gods and then fix the problem."
"Yeah, getting them on our side could be a problem. Did you find out who that Delta guy is?"
"I have a hunch, but I won't tell just in case I'm wrong…"
"That bad huh?"
"Yeah."
"Get some sleep wise girl. You look exhausted, it's been a long day and I have a hunch tomorrow will be longer."
"Where will you sleep?" She asked with a yawn.
"Don't worry about that. I have a place, go to sleep Annabeth." She was already in bed as I was saying that, she didn't bother to change out of the clothes that she was wearing during the day.
"You too seaweed brain." She said I could tell that she was falling asleep when she said that.
"I love you." She was already fast asleep, but I still said it. I wandered down the hall until I got to my sisters room. peeking inside I saw that she too was fast asleep. She had a huge bed, queen size for the princess of the house so I decided to go and lay down with her. Luckily She didn't wake up when I laid down she just snuggled up beside me. I don't know why the rest of my life couldn't be that peaceful.
I woke up to a scream, then I heard a crash follow that scream. I ran out into the hallway and saw that my door was open. So was my mom's. that was not good. I never told Andromeda about my mom being alive as well. This must be how she's reacting.
"Who the hell are you?" Nope She saw Paul first.
"Percy?" I ran down to the kitchen and saw my mom behind Paul and in front of him was Andromeda, Delta and the Athena girl. I really needed to figure out her name.
"It's fine Paul. They won't hurt anyone." I ran down with Ava in my arms because she started to freak out when whoever screamed and I couldn't just leave her there.
"Percy what is going on?" My mom asked when I reached them. I handed Ava to her knowing that she could calm her down and that she would be safe with her.
"Mom, it's her." I saw the tears start to well up in my mom's eyes.
"That's my baby. Perseus, you had better not be lying."
"Not about this mom." She gave me back Ava and started to walk up to her other daughter.
"Percy what's going on?" My other sister asked as our mother walked up to her.
"Andy, mom survived as well." At this she looked over at her mother for the first time in years, tears also starting to well in her eyes.
"Delta, take Mia back to base. I won't be back today. You know what to do." I saw him nod and walk to the door with the girl. Once the door had closed Andromeda ran towards my mom and embraced her, they both broke down crying.
"What's going on?" Paul asked coming up beside me, partly to take his daughter seeing as she was still scared and partly to ask that question.
"Remember how I said that I had a twin who died When I was seven?"
"That's her?" he looked really confused now. "Is this some sort of demigod thing where dead siblings come back from the dead?"
"No. Turns out she wasn't really dread. I don't know what happened to her. I never got around to asking. From what the gods know she is the leader of something called the resistance. That's all they know, they don't even know that it's her…"
"So what does this mean for them?"
"I don't know." Ava had finally become calm realizing that nothing was going to hurt her.
"I'll take Ava to get ready for the day. I'll let you three get this all sorted out."
"Thanks Paul." With that he left and it was just us three and two of the three were crying. I didn't know how to act around crying people, so I just stood there uncomfortably for what felt like forever, it was only probably only like ten minutes in reality, but it felt like it.
"Percy where did you find her?"
"Um this house that I saw in my dream that I told you about. On the street that we used to live on…"
"What were you doing there?" This time the question was directed to my sister.
"A little girl, that we rescued used to live there, it's where we picked her up, She wanted a picture of her dad that had gotten left there, it was the only one she had of him so we went back. That's where Percy and his friend found us."
"You rescuing demigod kids?" mom asked.
"Not just demigods. All mortal and demigods children who are in trouble, I just, didn't want them to have the same childhood that I did."
"I'm so sorry about your childhood. If I had known you were still alive we would have gotten you back. I swear we would have."
"It's fine… How did you not know I was alive, yet you went looking for me just yesterday?" this time she was looking at me.
"I had a dream, so I went to talk to dad about it, I didn't want to worry mom about it so I only talked to dad about it, He told me not to tell anyone and that I had forty-eight hours to find you and find out why you were attacking the gods. I didn't care about the second part, about the gods, but I did want to find you so I took him up on the deal…"
"What happened if you didn't take the deal?"
"The gods, specifically Artemis and Apollo, would come to hunt you down… and kill you."
"So now you need to find out what I'm doing with the resistance?"
"Andromeda, if I don't they'll kill you. I can't lose you again Andy. I just got you back."
" Yeah, but what if I can't tell you what I'm part of?"
"Dad made me swear on the styx that if any problems arouse like that then I have to contact him,"
"PERCY!"
"Mom I couldn't do anything else! This way the gods wouldn't have gotten to her first. I assure you that she really would have been dead by now if I hadn't made that deal with him. What would you have had me do?"
"What are we going to do now then?"
"Either you tell me why you and the resistance have been terrorizing the gods and what you are and why, or I have to go to the gods and they will have to question you. I don't want to do this Andy, but I know that you are more than just rescuing kids from bad homes."
"Then I guess you'll have to get the gods."
"Andy-"
"Don't Percy. People like you are why the gods are the way they are. Corrupt and dangerous. I mean this is our own father that is threatening me. How are people supposed to bow down to that."
"I didn't want to bring this up, but if you don't come and help the gods then the world will fall. We need you in this upcoming war Andy."
"Oh? and how do you know this?"
"There was a prophecy that said without yours and who I'm guessing is your partner, then the earth goddess will win and no one will survive." There was silence for several minutes after I said that. I wouldn't be surprised if Paul and Annabeth heard that because I think that we both ended up yelling.
"I'll help, but I won't tell you anything."
"I have to go to the gods then... "
"Why?"
"Because I swore I would Andromeda. To our father and to the gods. I know that they are horrible, but for the most part they have been there when we needed them… it's what I promised them I would do. That I would be loyal to them and no one else."
"That kind of oath will bit you in the ass."
"It already has because you aren't helpful. What am I supposed to do? Turn my back on my twin for the gods? It seems like it is sadly." I left up the hall after that to go get Annabeth. Looks like we had to go to Olympus to tune in my twin.
