Chapter 9

Nico POV

''The last goal was just spectacular, Luke!'' the brown haired girl exclaimed. Wait, did she say LUKE? What the Hades? Looking at Jason's expression he felt the same way.

''I almost thought I was going to miss it, to be honest.'' Said the black haired guy, – Luke, I suppose. He was rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly as though he was uncomfortable with the attention. Looks like he and Perce were similar in that way.

''Modest as ever.'' Snorted the blonde haired girl. ''Take some credit, bro. The last goal was fabulous. Everyone was on their feet yelling themselves hoarse.''

''It was really remarkable.'' Chimed in Annabeth. ''Not that I know a lot about basketball myself.''

''True that, Wise Girl,'' chuckled Percy. ''What's wrong Luke? You look distracted.'' He sure did. He was playing with his food and seemed to be somewhere else.

''I just hope Andy is alright.'' He murmured. All the campers turned to look at the girl in question.

''What?'' she said defensively. ''We have always been close.''

''I hope so,'' said Annabeth, worriedly. She tried her best to hide it but I could see she was tense. She kept playing with her napkin.

''Come on, Annabeth, I am sure she will be fine.'' Said the brown haired girl. ''She will be able to handle herself. Don't forget, she is your daughter after all. If you both can survive two wars then Andy adjusting in camp will be a piece of cake. You have trained her really well, both of you.''

Alright, that settled it. Who was this girl and how did she know so much about us? I had never seen her at camp.

''Thanks sis!'' smiled Percy, ruffling the girl's hair. She swat his hand away playfully.

Percy had a sister? But how? She was certainly not a daughter of Poseidon or Neptune. I would have known if she was. She did not even look like a daughter of Poseidon. My uncle's children had black hair and green eyes NOT brown hair and blue eyes! My head was spinning with questions to which I had no answers – yet. Looks like I was going to have a little chat with Andromeda Sally Jackson soon.

The scene continued. I saw Andy watching it intently. I suppose she must miss her family. There was typical teasing and banter between them. They all seemed so very happy. Looking at them brought a smile to my face. If anyone deserved a happy ending it was Percy and Annabeth. It continued until a lady walked up to them. She was a carbon copy of Effie Trinket. What? I have read the Hunger Games too, you know. With high heels and a tight fitting dress she cut a sorry figure.

''Doctor Jackson!'' she trilled. Doctor? Alright, this was too weird. How did Percy Jackson get a doctorate? I looked at the others. They too looked zapped out. Leo's mouth was actually hanging open. I saw Calypso close it. Jason looked as though he had been hit on the head with a stick.

''Yes, Mrs. Jones.'' Said Percy as politely as he could while rolling his eyes. I saw Annabeth convert her laugh into a cough.

''Luke was just brilliant today wasn't he?'' the lady continued. ''I was just wondering how he was so good. Where is dear Andromeda today? I was hoping to meet her.'' I rolled my eyes. She sure was laying it on thick.

''Uh- you see-'' said Percy, a wild look in his eyes. Not good. Percy cannot lie to save his life.

''She has gone to summer camp.'' Interjected Annabeth smoothly. Percy looked at her gratefully in thanks.

''Where is that?'' asked Effie Trinket the Second. Why was she so inquisitive? Couldn't she see they wanted to be left alone?

''Oh, New York. It is a music camp. We thought it would help her improve her piano skills.''

Damn, Annabeth sure can lie. That is for sure. Another facet of Andromeda's personality was uncovered. Who would have thought she could play the piano.

Mrs. Jones continued jabbering away a mile a minute and Percy and Annabeth patiently answered her questions.

Hestia waved her hand and finally the scene closed.

''I hope you all are satisfied now.'' She said, staring at the Athena Cabin in particular. The camp nodded its assent. They looked slightly ashamed. Serves them right. They needed to be taken down a notch. In a whirl of flames, Hestia vanished.

Poseidon POV

I could not believe it! Percy was alive!

Since afternoon I had felt another presence near the beach at camp and it was not one of my children. It seemed different. So, I had Iris open a one way iris-message to camp. Imagine my surprise when I see Hestia revealing that my son was actually alive and had a family of his own! At first, I was hurt that Percy had not come to me for help. But then I realised that I would have never let him go.

On seeing him with his family, so very happy, I smiled. Out of all the demigods, Percy and Annabeth were the ones who surely deserved their happy ending. I looked at their daughter, who was standing next to Hestia. She had my green eyes and her mother's blonde hair.

Contrary to popular belief, I did not hate Annabeth Chase. How could I when she had made my son so happy? I still barely tolerated Athena but I had no problem with her daughter.

Athena had only gotten worse over the years. More bitter, more bad-tempered. It was almost as though she had let Minerva take over her Greek form. She had been like this ever since the Giant War. It had only worsened after Annabeth was supposedly found dead.

She blamed it all on Percy of course. Blamed him for influencing her daughter against her mother. It did not strike her that she was the one responsible for the whole thing. Taking away the power of her daughter's invisibility cap, sending her on a suicide mission to find the Athena Parthenos, dissuading her from finding Percy, the list was endless.

It was also reflected in her children. They too were bitter. They no longer were braniacs with good battle strategy. They were petty, mean and cruel. No doubt the influence of their mother.

I saw Hestia leave in a flurry of sparks. Who would have thought she was so dramatic? Looks like she was a bit like brother after all. I made up my mind. I had to go and ask my granddaughter the whole story.

It would probably make Zeus furious, but I was willing to risk it. I had to know more about my son. My mind made up, I left for camp.

So, chapter 10 everyone! Like it, hate it, let me know. Thank you guys so much for the amazing response to this story! You all are amazing!

Until next time,
