Chapter 14: Annabeth

I am utterly stunned. There is no other way to put it. I could tell Percy was too, he just stood there staring at the ground where the water had been. I felt happy for Percy, I know how much he wonders about having siblings. But I also feel a little disappointed; Allison is smart, funny, and brave. Even though I've only known her for a few hours I can already tell that. Not many new demigods would try to take on an Ares kid, let alone five with a kid from Apollo, and two Aphrodite girls. I actually almost smiled at that thought; Percy had taken on Clarisse on his first day. Maybe they were more alike than I thought. For one thing there were their swords- they both were inconspicuous objects turned lethal. And there was also their charm, they both could smile and you instantly trusted them and believed what they said. Although Percy's melted her heart, and Allison's wanted you to be friends with her- they were startlingly similar, how had I not seen it? But, Allison is a grand-daughter of Athena so I wasn't that far off. No that Chiron mentions it I do remember something about a Katherine hale being a head counselor. All of these notions ran through my head in a few moments time, while everyone was just standing there staring. Some were watching, amazed at the chaos Zeus was creating- while most were staring at Allison. You could tell she was nervous- duh lightning=Zeus I chided myself- and paired with the fact that everyone was watching her, she looked like a deer in headlights. No sooner had I thought this than she finally turned around and ran out of the clearing. I started to sprint after her, "Allison!" I called but she didn't turn around. I followed her all the way through the woods, she was incredibly fast, until she stepped out onto the beach I stayed in the woods catching my breath. Apparently she didn't see me so I decided to let her have some time to herself, it has to be a pretty big shock to realize your dad is Poseidon. Yet I was reluctant to leave, what if she got lost? So I resolved to stay in my makeshift hiding place. She stood at the water's edge staring out across it- the same way Percy does when he's worried I noticed with a start. There was a rumbling and I noticed the sand at her feet start stirring, growing more and more violent until a woman's body made out of dirt emerged. Uh-oh, I guess it's a good thing I stayed. The body kept growing until it was as tall as Allison and had it's hand resting on her shoulder. Allison flinched but didn't look at it.

"How's your first day at camp? Did your brother welcome you with open arms?" the dirt woman whispered. "What about your daddy? Did he say hi? Or did he talk to everyone except you?"

"Percy just found out, I ran before he had a chance to react. And as for dad… well he probably has a lot on his mind," Allison said this calmly but I could hear the tremor in her voice. I also noticed her hesitate on the word 'dad'. I decided that it was better for me to see what happens before I jump in that way if she attacked I would have the element of surprise.

"He had plenty of time, even just to give you a smile would have been better than ignoring you. And sure, he's had a lot on his mind- he hasn't talked to you in what? Eight months? He's been too busy worrying about Percy- his favorite child," I knew that the voice was lying. I wanted to scream the truth to Allison, I could tell she thought that it was true and she was taking it hard. "Exactly how many times have you even met him?"

"I've never met him but he showed me almost every moment of Percy's life the past four years in my dreams. He said he couldn't contact me in any other way but he wanted me to know what my life would be like someday, and he wanted me to get to know Percy," by this time Allison was visibly shaking.

"The only reason he showed you those dreams and visions was because he is proud of Percy. He is proud of him in a way he can never be proud of you. You weren't even supposed to happen, you would have gotten him into a ton of trouble. How can you, a mistake, ever make him as proud as he is of Percy? The answer is you can't, but if you join my side he will be amazed at your power and you can punish him," the lady's eyes started glowing when she said this and although she didn't notice the waves were becoming steadily higher. And then for the first time, Allison turned towards her and smiled,

"Leave. Me. Alone!" Allison's sword appeared in her hands as the smile on the lady's face disappeared. Before the dirt woman could react she was turned to dust by Allison's sword. Allison was steadily crying now and when I stepped forward to comfort her, she ran into the ocean and quickly disappeared underneath the surf. I heard a snapping noise behind me and whirled around with my knife at the ready, only to see Percy come running up.

"Hey have you seen Allison? Everyone's looking for her." He glanced around as though to be certain she wasn't hiding.

"Umm, Percy she's underwater," as he starts towards it I quickly add, "But there is something you should know, well I'm pretty sure that Gaea appeared to her and she's pretty shaken up," I take a deep breath and continue," Gaea tried to convince her to join her side because, well she said that Allison could never live up to your father's expectations for her because of you. And just so you know, Poseidon gave her dreams and visions about all of the important things that have happened to you in the last four years, when they've happened. I think you should let her know you care, she's pretty strong for not listening to Gaea. If I didn't know you as well as I do I would have believed her." Percy's face changes emotions- from shock, to disbelief, anger, and finally settled on something that looked almost like love. Not the look he gives me but the one he gives Tyson.

"I'll go talk to her."
