A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I've been kind of busy lately. I'll try to post the next chapter soon. Enjoy!
"Your father never told you you had a half-sister?" Apollo questioned. "Geez, did he tell you anything? Wait, let me write a haiku about it."
He cleared his throat, while I just stared at him blankly.
"Elise knows nothing
Arty will be mad at me
She has a sister."
"Awesomer isn't a word." I reminded him.
"Whatever."
"So, about my sister…."
"Okay, so your father got married to someone, and they had a baby. Then, a while later, you were born. The story of your sister."
"He never told me!"
"Yeah, well, it isn't my fault." Apollo said, sighing.
"Where is my sister now?" I questioned.
"She joined the Hunters of Artemis." Apollo told me. "Please tell me you know what that is."
"Well, yes, because Venus explained everything." Upon hearing her name, Venus looked over. I waved. "But why did she join?" I asked my uncle.
"Well, after her mother died, things were kind of rough between you and her father, and she wasn't a demigod or anything, so she couldn't go to Camp Half Blood. But she could see through the mist, so she joined the Hunters."
"What was her name?" I asked, hopeful.
Apollo sighed. "I have no idea. Well, I kind of have to go. Good-bye, Elise!"
"Wait," I called. But Apollo was already gone.
Venus walked back over. "What was he talking about?"
I sighed dramatically. "Oh, just the fact that I have a sister no one ever bothered to tell me about. And my mother doesn't want to see me. Oh, and did you know my father was married before I was born?"
"Not really."
"Well, I didn't either."
Aaron walked over. "So," he said. "Shouldn't we get on with our quest to go east or whatever?"
"I guess."
"Well, I suppose we should grab Zanark."
"Yeah."
As it turned out, we didn't have to go to Zanark. He just walked over to us.
"What were you doing?" he asked me. "Making out with the son of Apollo or something?"
"Um, no." I said, turning bright red. Aaron coughed.
Just then, a group of girls with silver jackets and combat boots came out of the woods. Everyone else froze.
"If they're here, then Artemis…" muttered Zanark.
"I'm guessing that they are the hunters, right?" I asked.
"Yup." muttered Venus. "And when they are near, Artemis is never far. I would suggest hiding."
"I think they already saw me."
Venus walked toward the hunters. "Is your goddess here?" she called.
"No, she's on Olympus." a girl with familiar dark brown hair, a bit like my own, answered back.
