I walked over to Cabin 3 and stopped. I prefer to just sleep at the beach. Why I'm here? What do they want from me? I don't belong anywhere at all. I turned around to look at the unclaimed cabin one last time. It's pretty empty now since there are no campers that are unclaimed. I will miss talking to my temporary cabinmates. I know I slept in that cabin for one day, but it was worth it.

"Goodbye, I will miss you," I whispered and faced Cabin 3 again.

I opened the door and saw Percy wearing his blue pajamas with a pinch of red. Seriously, they need to add other colors in this cabin. How about trying to keep the cabin Ocean-related? Poseidon is the god of the seas for crying out loud.

"Hey Olivia, Welcome to Poseidon's Cabin," Percy said

"Uhh... Thanks," I said while putting my stuff down.

"Since we have a few minutes before curfew, I guess we should try to get to know each other better." He said

"Yeah, I agree with you," I said

The room was silent and getting a bit awkward until Percy started talking again.

"I just wanted to say sorry for leaving you and Isabella alone. I should've realized that you weren't comfortable. I remember when I felt that way as a new camper." He said sadly

I smiled

"You don't have to put yourself down because of what happened yesterday. It's in the past now. I'll get used to the place beside I have a cousin/ half-brother with me." I said

"Actually, you have another half-brother," Percy said

I was shocked. I can't believe that I have another half-brother.

"Really, Who is he? Where is he? I would like to meet him." I said

"His name is Tyson. He works at my dad's forges. Also, he's a cyclops and a son of Poseidon." He said

A cyclops? I thought a cyclops were evil monsters. I remember in The Odessey that Odysseus had to fight one.

"Aren't cyclops supposed to be evil?" I asked

"No, Tyson is not evil. He is extremely friendly." Percy said

"Oh ok," I said

We both began to laugh.

"Also, I was meaning to ask you, Why do you like to sleep on the beach?" Percy asked

Percy Pov

Olivia is kinda weird. I get that she loves the water and a Daughter of Poseidon, but sleeping on the beach is too much.

"I like to sleep on the beach because it's relaxing. The soothing waves are like a lullaby and comfort me. I miss seeing the creatures in the ocean." She said, " Now it's my turn to ask, Why do you like to eat blue food? Do you have any other hobbies than swimming?"

"I eat blue food because My ex-stepfather said something about blue food doesn't exist. So, my mom and I made a joke about it and continue eating blue food. Canoeing and Swimming are the only things I'm good at than fighting with a sword." I said

"Who's your ex-stepfather?" Olivia asked

"I don't really want to talk about him," I said

"Why? I promise I won't tell anyone. Besides, I know how you feel about stepfathers. They can be good or bad." She said

"What would you know about them?" I asked

"Because I still live with one. Actually, I live with a stepfamily and my mother is the only person I have left. My stepfamily treats me like I'm nothing. They abuse me until I'm battered and bruised." She said

I was shocked. How could they abuse her like that? I swear I'm going to march right into their house and knock them out.

"My ex-stepfather Gabe used to abuse me too. I'm glad we got rid of him." I said

"What happened to him?" Olivia asked

"Oh, my mother used Medusa's head to turn him into a statue. Then she found Paul who is my English teacher at Goode High School. She deserves him." I said

"Yeah, She does deserve happiness. If I was there, I would probably drown Gabe or send him to Tartarus." She said

I shivered.

"Hey, can we stop talking about Tartarus or Stepfathers, please? I don't want to have nightmares about them." I said

"Ok, sorry about that. What else should we talk about then?" She asked

"Why were you sitting alone at the Mess Hall today? You were supposed to sit with the others." I said

"Uh... Nobody said anything about Isabella when she was sitting alone. So, why should I sit with them? Can't I have my alone time? I would rather sit alone then sitting at the table of your godly parent." She said while getting up and heading to her bed.

"Percy, can we just forget about it? I'm starting to get tired and I really need to sleep." Olivia said

Oh well, I'll talk to her in the morning then.

"Sure, we do have a big day ahead of us. So, let's go to bed. Sleep well, Olivia," I said

I gave her a kiss on the cheek and went to my bed. Then I went to sleep.

Olivia Pov

After Percy went to sleep, I woke up and grabbed my journal. What? I haven't written in my journal in a while. So, I hope it's not a problem for anyone.

Entry #12,

My life at Eastern high was always horrible. Today, I got humiliated and slapped by Alexis and her friends towards the whole school. Why I'm such a loser? My stepfamily has a way to make me their favorite punching bag. Anyways, a guy named Percy Jackson (a long lost cousin from my mom's side and a half-brother from my dad's side.) taught Alexis a lesson. I didn't really need his help. I could deal with them by myself. I'm not a damsel in distress like some princess in fairy tales. There was a girl named Isabella Rose who appeared from the shadows. Yeah, she was the girl that I met at the graveyard and lied about being a normal teenager. Also, I would sacrifice myself for my mother except for Poseidon. Although he gave me my trident necklace that doesn't change anything. He abandoned my mother for his godly duties. Kronos can eat him again for all I care. So, Percy told us that the camp needed our help, but I don't know why. Suddenly, there were two kindly ones (a.k.a Furies.) at school. Percy and Isabella started arguing about Killing or Leaving until I stopped them. We killed them and shadow traveled to camp half-blood. The tour wasn't so great because Percy left us for Annabeth. The campers were mostly staring at Isabella. Clarisse got angry at me for soaking her with toilet water. She almost killed me during Capture the Flag, but I put up a fight. The seven were cool except Piper. She totally annoys me. I tasted ambrosia for the first time and it tasted like my mom's brownies. So, my day at Camp half-blood wasn't that bad. It's going to be taking some getting used to until I'm comfortable. I wish I could visit my mom though. If only I was a mortal, then I wouldn't have to deal with monsters.

Thanks for Listening

I closed my journal and went outside to the beach. It's a good thing that nobody is here to see me except the furies, but who cares? If I'm going to stay here, then I'll have to enjoy it while it lasts.

I put my feet inside the water and swam away from the beach. The water was a little chilly, but that's fine with me. Once I was far enough, I plunged myself into the water.

The creatures of the sea were swimming happily with no worries at all. *sigh* I wish my life could be like that not having to worry about monsters attacking me. Suddenly, I saw a group of fishes trembling and scampering away. What are they scared about?

I turned around and saw a great white shark coming towards the fishes and me. Uh oh! I don't want to become his dinner.

"Mr. Shark, What are you doing?" I asked nicely hoping he won't eat me.

"I'm hungry and need to eat fishes. If you don't get out of my way, then I'm going to eat you too." He said

I got out of the shark's way. He swam to the fishes, gobbled them up, and continued his way.

"Poor little fishes," I thought

I continued on my journey to explore the ocean.

Hello, my granddaughter.

"Who goes there?" I asked

It is your grandfather, Pontas.

He appeared right in front of me. I couldn't really see him that well though.

"So, you finally decided to speak to me after all these years. Why now?" I asked

Well, I want you to join me.

"Why?" I asked

Because we can destroy your father. You can have your revenge on Poseidon for abandoning you. What do you say, Olivia?

"No, I'm not going to join you. Sure, I hate my father, but I hate you even more. You abandon my grandmother too. Now, leave me alone." I said

Fine, but you'll regret the day that you didn't join me. You can kiss your mother goodbye.

Then he disappeared. What does he mean about kissing my mother goodbye?

I erased that question from my mind and continued swimming. I saw the sea turtles, jellyfish, some parrotfish, and a couple of clownfish.

It was fun hanging out with them. Most of them called me Sea Princess though which was getting annoying. I'm not a sea princess. I'm just a girl who loves water.

I hope I can meet some mermaids during my next expedition. This reminds me that I have to go back before someone noticed that I'm gone. I swim very fast until I reached the beach. I exited the water and changed into my pajamas.

I went back into Cabin #3 to go to my bed and went to sleep.

Tomorrow, I would have to warn my mother about Pontas before it's too late. I don't want to lose my mother and be stuck with my stepfamily forever.

A/N: Hey, I hope you guys are safe during the Coronavirus outbreak. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Bye
