CHAPTER 11

Julia

I would call it an awesome summer day. It's been 14 years since I came to camp half-blood and been claimed. I am a year round camper and one of the eldest. The eldest campers are Percy and Annabeth and the second eldest are Leo and Calypso (No one knows her age so we consider it same as Leo.) and third is Nico. I am fourth. We are the only old campers here. Emily and Jack were sent them to camp Jupiter where romans are trained. All the others are dead. There are a lot of new campers and some of them are children of the demigods. Luke and Bianca Jackson are the children of Percy and Annabeth. They were named after the two deaths they regretted most, Luke Castellan and Bianca di Angelo (She was Nico's elder sister.) Then Zoe and Reyen Valdez are the children of Leo and Calypso. Zoe and Reyen are twins who are now six, Luke is seven and Bianca is five. I was playing with those four and Calypso was singing a song in her garden when Annabeth came and said,

"Thankyou Julia. I will stay here with Cal. You have to go meet Percy. He has summoned you."

"What happened?"

"I think I am going to let him explain."

"Okay" I said and left the two mothers with their children. But I forgot to ask Annabeth where to find him. I searched the whole camp which was now looking empty since everyone were inside getting ready for today's training. Leo was in his bunker working on some new invention (which he always does).

I finally found Percy talking to Chiron in the practise ground. He was now almost as tall as Chiron though he might not be. We can't see his true form because he is a god (90%) now and he can look any way he wants. Only the other gods and goddesses can see that.

Then I walked up to my brother after Chiron left.

"Hey Adelfos, looks like you summoned me."

"Yeah sis. I need a help."

"You want my help brother dear?" I said surprised and a little funnily

"Yes. You have to go talk to my mom."

"What? You cut contact with her, didn't you?" now I didn't feel it funny anymore.

"Yes. And she still believes that I am dead."

"Okay but why do you want to contact her now?"

"Because it is now safe for them and also because Estelle might be in trouble."

"What happened to her?"

"Nothing yet but something is going to."

"What is that?"

"Monsters. She doesn't know anything about how to fight them, if she knows about them in the first place. And she is a half demigod that is she got some of dad's powers which makes her a half-demigod and she is the next oracle."

"How can you be so sure of that?"
"She has Apollo's blessing."

"When did that happen?"

"Before she was born when Apollo was turned into a mortal."

"OH."

"You are such a question bank."

"Thanks bro."

"Don't call me with so many names."

"Fine Percy. Will you not meet your mom?"

"I will come by the evening. And it's Estelle's birthday today."

"Great. I'll get going then."

"Sure. See you soon. And take Darry with you. "

With that I left with Darry (my pet hawk) on my shoulder and reached their apartment by around 1 pm. I knocked on the door and a young girl of 15 came to open the door. She had long black hair, greenish eyes, wore a skirt which had paint on it, indicating that she was an artist.

"How can I help you?" she asked.

"Are you Estelle Blofis?" I asked.

"Yes. Do I know you?"

"We have met once but you were very young at that time."

"Oh."

"I need to talk to your mom Estelle. And Happy Birthday!"

"Who is it Es?" a boy's voice came from inside.

"She wants to talk to mom, Percy."

"Percy?" I asked because he couldn't be here so soon.

"Yeah. That is my little brother, Percy. Short for Perseus."

"He is your little brother huh?" now I knew what was happening. Sally's other son who would be younger than Estelle was named Perseus after their brother because she still believed he was dead.

Darry was very excited when it heard the name but was sad when we saw him. He also had black hair but brown eyes which were different from both his siblings.

Inside, Sally was in the kitchen but there was someone else too. When I saw who that was, my eyes went wide. What is he doing here? I thought. It was my step-father. The one I ran away from after my mom died. That was Daniel Cray. I kept my anger under control and waited for her.

Then Estelle told Sally about me. She came out of the kitchen and said, "May I be of any help to you?"

"You can Sally." I said and now the other eyes were also on me. "I am Julia Evans. We have met."

Future leap! You will find another but be patient and don't forget to review.
