Jackson

Percy's POV

I sat at the Poseidon table, anxiously tapping my knuckles against the purple tablecloth. Tyson sat across from me, his hands fiddling with a mess of metal and wires. Tyson set his pile of silver metal on the table, looking up at me with his large brown eye. "Percy," He started. "Where are new sisters?"

I shrugged, glancing back at the cabins.

I watched the door open after a terrifyingly long five minutes.

Marí walked out, flicking her long wavy black hair from her shoulders. She walked toward the pavilion, purpose in each step, her hard sea green gaze set on the Poseidon table.

I watched Selena march out, her black hair bouncing behind her. Ashley walked out, closing the door behind her, pulling her raven colored hair up into a ponytail as she stepped in line beside Selena.

Marí plopped down beside me.

I glanced at her, cautious. "Um. Marí."

She turned her eyes toward me.

They were like mini hurricanes—green waves slamming into blue pools, swirling and swirling in a confusing whirlpool of emotion.

"What?" She snapped. Selena and Ashley took a seat next to Tyson and I watched Marí's eyes flicker with anger.

"Nothing," I said, turning my head as Chiron slammed his hoof down. Mr. D stood, not looking pleased at all. He started talking, which was never pleasant.

"Today we had a breach in the borderline. No need to worry! We'll have it fixed in no time," Mr. D started, before he muttered to Chiron, "I honestly don't know how false enthusiasm is going to work. They aren't that smart."

We all heard him, which caused every single demigod to shout, "Hey!"

Mr. D rolled his eyes at our response. "We also have two new campers," Mr. D droned on with a bored expression. "Seems they were the cause of the breach, so why don't you all blame them, eh? Makes my life much easier."

A couple demigods shot Ashley and Selena pointed looks, which I returned with a death glare. It wasn't their fault. It was just a breach. It happened all the time.

Right?

Chiron looked displeased in the way Mr. D had announced the twins' arrival, which meant Chiron and I were on the same page. Chiron sighed. "Dinner time," He told us, clapping his hands.

We all stood up, following the line of campers to the buffet. I grabbed a plate, glancing back at the twins. I quickly picked up some food, scooping it onto my plate, as I neared the fire pit. I scraped some ripe strawberries from my plate and watched them drop into the flames. "For Poseidon," I muttered, Marí following my lead.

I turned, walking back to my table, flicking my glass and saying, "Blue Coke, please." The goblet filled with unnaturally dark blue liquid. I took a sip, turning my gaze to where Ashley and Selena were.

They scraped their food in the fire, whispering something under their breaths, before turning on their heels and walking to the table. Mari had already sat down with her plate, while Tyson was eating a peanut butter sandwich.

We ate in unnerving silence until Ashley stood up and walked away toward the hearth.

I turned to Selena. "What's she doing?"

"She wanted to talk with Hestia," Selena told me, shrugging as she took a bite of her mashed potatoes.

I glanced back to look at her, watching Ashley bend down and start to chat with the goddess of the hearth, Hestia. She smiled, her face lighting up, as they talked. Marí dug her fork a little too deeply into a bit of brisket and her fork cracked through her plate.

"I'm not hungry," she mumbled before swinging her legs onto the opposite side of the bench and standing up. She marched away from the Poseidon table and stopped at the Hermes table. She leaned down and began talking with a girl with shoulder length brown hair and a tan a little lighter than Marí's. The girl stood and I noticed the girl was maybe two or three inches shorter than Marí. The girl left with Marí after saying goodbye to her brothers and few sisters, and then they disappeared from the dining pavilion.

She didn't come back to the cabin that night, and I wasn't sure if she'd step foot in our cabin for a long time.

Marítima's POV

I glared as I exited my cabin with my little 'sisters' trailing behind me. Couldn't they just go away? I mean, I have enough to do without adding big sister to my list. I've been taking care of enough kids since I was twelve. I've been working to get camp back to normal, and then my sisters come back into play. Suddenly a new blonde shows up with a deadly mortal hurting sword, and the girls are almost sucked up by some hole in the ocean floor. Um, not cool.

I walked over to the dining pavilion and made sure the anger didn't show on my face. I put power into every step I took and plopped down next to my brother on the bench. The twins sat with Tyson and after a second we all went up to get food.

As I scraped the best part of my brisket into the flamers I glared at the fire. "For Poseidon," I mumbled. Because that's the last offering I'm giving you, I thought angrily. I made my way back to the table and pushed my food around my plate. I wasn't hungry. Not after having to deal with the fact that my brother was going to disappear someday soon, and Nico was going to disappear, and everything was going to crumble. Ashley got up and left to chat with Hestia by the hearth and I felt myself relax a bit.

"Whats she doing?" Percy asked Selena. I growled at the fact that her first name was my middle name.

"She wanted to talk with Hestia," Selena said with a shrug. I stabbed some brisket with my fork and ended up cracking my plate. I let the fork handle slip from my fingers before leaving the table with the lame I'm not hungry excuse. I walked over to the Hermes table and approached my best friend Tyra Siomora Havuk. Mouthful of a name, and I'm not sure what Siomora means, but she was cool. She had shoulder length brown hair that was layered nicely, and she had blue eyes with flecks of hazel. She was fourteen and she was tall for her age, but I was sixteen and so I had the height advantage.

"Can we get outta here?" I asked her tiredly. She nodded and said she'd see her siblings later before we left the pavilion and headed to her cabin.

"What did they do this time?" she asked me as I fell into her brother Sam's bed. She plopped down into her own and looked at me patiently. See, Ty was really nice and all, but she was without-a-doubt one of the sneakiest daughters of Hermes I've ever met. She was also really clumsy when she wasn't on a prank or stealing mission.

"They came back. I mean really, I went back to my cabin about a half hour ago and they're all like why do you hate us and obviously I can't tell them why. If I did it'd ruin thesurprise," I said with a sly grin. Ty smirked and began playing with an arrow. Yeah, she was an archer.

"So what did they say little miss Starfish," I rolled my eyes. She's the only one who calls me Starfish, everybody else calls me The Little Mermaid.

"I just ignored them and went to my bed, so they cornered me and started going on and on about how they're my sisters and I'm not scary and how they're here to stay and shit. I swear one of us is going to die by the end of summer, and it's not gonna be me," I growled.

"You're not gonna duel them are you?" Ty asked, dropping her arrow and not caring that it cut her leg on its way to the ground.

"Nah, I'm not stupid. I'll let Fate get em. Then I might see if that hot blonde is free for dinner," I snickered.

"What about Will?" Ty asked with interest. Did I mention my best friend had a crush on my eighteen year old boyfriend?

"I'm kidding Ty. Will and I are a solid thing. I'm not leaving him for some blonde that's probably going to kill my sisters. My point is, Percy and everyone thinks they're just those defenseless noobs when really, they know more about the world of the gods then you'd ever imagine. They even know the entire story of Kronos rising and falling over the last few years."

"What? How? I thought only you and Percy knew the whole story," she exclaimed.

"Exactly. The thing is, Percy and I didn't tell them about the war with Kronos in detail. Those girls have their ways, and they're dangerous. If camp gets breached one more time, I'm chucking them into a meat flavored sack and throwing them to a drakon or somethin," I growled.

"You can't be serious. What have they even done to you?" Ty asked worriedly.

"They came back into my life. I've told you this before. You and I are the only ones who know besides Poseidon and my mom," I said with a sigh.

"I thought you were joking!" Ty exclaimed, falling out of her bed. She's lucky the arrow didn't get her in the eye, my best friend was a major klutz, but she was awesome. She knew every secret I had that was my secret.

"Would I joke about stuff that makes my life harder?" I asked as I fiddled with her dagger, Stealth.

"Well . . . no. But are they really―?"

"Yeah. Selena and Ashley Jameson are actually Selena and Ashley Jackson."

Yeah, you all expected that considering how obvious we made it, but maybe you figured they'd be half siblings since the godly looks seem to dominate the demigod physique most of the time. Anyway, there'll be I think one more chapter before this flow of updates stops. So yeah. Review.
