We went up to the house. I hope that my grandfather hasn't killed my mother yet. So, I opened the door.
"Mom, Where are you?" I asked.
"Why do you have to ask that question? I'm pretty sure your mother is fine." Annabeth said
"Annabeth, shut up," Isabella said.
I'm going to have to thank Isabella later.
"I'm in the kitchen, sweetie." My mom said
Percy, Tyson, Isabella, Nico, Annabeth, and I went inside the kitchen. My mother was tied to a chair and I was really mad.
"What happened here?" Percy asked
"We'll worry about that later, but help me untie her," I said while going to the chair.
Once we finished, my mom explained what happened to her. She told us that there was a demigoddess who was ordered by Pontas to kill her. She sneaked inside the house and began to tie my mother up, but someone was coming downstairs. So, she left the house. If I find her, I'm so going to kill her. I hugged my mother.
"At least you weren't killed. I'm happy you are safe and sound." I said
"Olivia, who are these people?" My mom asked
"Hi, My name is Tyson," Tyson said
"Annabeth Chase," Annabeth said
"Nico di Angelo," Nico said
"I'm Isabella Rose," Isabella said
"and I'm Percy Jackson. We are her friends from Camp." Percy said
"Oh, it's nice to meet all of you. Would you guys like to meet the rest of the family?" My mom said
They nodded
Why? My stepsisters and stepbrothers are going to embarrass me in front of them.
"Before we see them, Do you know that Olivia's being abused by her stepfamily?" Percy asked
I glared at him.
I don't want my mother to know about that.
"Yes, I had known about that. I just wanted them to see their visitors before I do something." My mom said
My mother had known about this all along when I tried my best to hid it from her. I had to use the foundation to cover the bruises.
My mom winked at me.
It probably means that she's going to get rid of my stepfamily. I couldn't have been more proud of my mother.
"You guys can sit on the couch while I come back with the others," she said while going upstairs.
Annabeth punched Percy in the arm.
"Ow, what was that for?" Percy asked
"Hmm...You decided to Olivia and Isabella alone and came to me instead. Why would you abandon them, Percy? I thought you were better than that." Annabeth said
"I came to you because we need to discuss trouble coming to camp. Besides, Olivia already confronted me." Percy said
"Yep, I already talk to him about that. Also, Percy, don't you ever follow me again." I said while punching him in the arm.
"Ok, I learned my lesson," Percy said while rubbing his arm.
Ève POV
When I left my daughter and her new friends in the living room. I went up to get my husband whose about to be my ex-husband and his children. I let them live in this house for too long. It's time for them to leave and never return.
I come to Trish and Bloom's shared room which was originally Olivia's room, but they took it.
I found Trish and Bloom doing their makeup and talking about boys. So, I decided to interrupt their conversation.
"Trish and Bloom, your stepsister Olivia has returned and she brought guests that you should meet," I said because this will their last day being in this room.
"Our freaky sister has returned. Ugh! Why couldn't she ever learn to stay away from us? We were having fun without her" Trish said
"I don't know why, but once her fake friends are gone we're going to teach her a lesson," Bloom said
"Girls, You better not be talking to your sister that way or else you won't be able to go to any parties for a month," I said
"Yes mother we're coming to the living room," they said
They left the room and head downstairs.
Perfect, all I need to do is get my stepsons and soon to be ex-husband.
I went to Jacob and Alexander's shared room. I opened the door and find them playing video games. Soon, their room might be a place for exercise instead.
"Boys, your stepsister Olivia has returned. She has brought guests for you to meet." I said with my hands folded
"Great, our stepsister has finally gotten herself some friends for once," Jacob said
"Oh yeah, Olivia is like a ghost who's only good for obeying everything we say," Alexander said
I unplugged their video game and took their controllers. Relax, you'll get rid of the Lilingtion's out of your home.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Jacob said
I dropped their video games and controllers on the floor until it broke.
"What are you doing with our video games?" Alexander said
"The both of you know exactly what I'm doing. I'm destroying your video games and throwing them into the trash. Because I asked you two to go downstairs to meet your stepsister or else I'll grab your ears and bring you down there myself." I said to them.
"Fine, we'll be going downstairs mom." They said and went downstairs
Now, to get rid of that man who started bringing misery into our lives.
This is the perfect day to get rid of the family. I'm sick and tired of them taken advantage of my kindness. I'm sick of it, I should've dumped him years ago because that man hasn't even lift a finger to help me and neither his children. So, James and his children think they could use Olivia as their servant. No, thank you.
I went up to James's room. I kicked the door open in a fit of rage.
James looked up to me in surprise.
"Eve, why did you kicked the door? Usually, you opened the door with your hands." Mark said
"I have my reasons. Now, get up from your bed because Olivia has returned from vacation and she brought guests. I want you to meet them" I said with my hands on my hips.
"No, I don't want to see that girl again. This place was much better when she left." James said
I swear I want to punch him in the face until he passes out and throws him to the ocean. So, my father can deal with him. Then, he will finally be dead. But no, that's not my plan.
"Oh really, If it was so much better with her gone. Then why would you keep on calling Olivia's name every time you need a beer." I said
"None of your business," James said
"Then get out of your room and get downstairs. You know what, I'll get you down there myself." I said
I grabbed James's ear and brought him downstairs. He was mad, but I didn't care.
Isabella POV
So, these are Olivia's step-siblings. They look like the popular kids back at Eastern High. Oh, they are the popular kids from Eastern High school. Next to Alexis, Tina, and Mina. I remember Trish, Jacob, Alexander, and Bloom. They were the juniors and were mean but not that mean as Alexis. Alexis is the Queen Bee and almost everybody fears her.
"OMG is that Isabella the freak from Eastern High School. It's been a few days since we last saw you. You were always the main target of Alexis and her gang." Trish said
Great, they remembered me.
I looked at Nico and it looks like he wants to kick her in the shine.
Annabeth wants to scream at them
Tyson wants to punch them
Percy just wants to kill them
While Olivia looks like she wants her stepfamily to just drop dead.
"That's right, you were always the girl who was isolated from the entire school," Bloom said
I really want to send those people to Tartarus right now. Who cares if they're mortals? They need to shut the fuck up.
"Aw, those were the good old days, but now we have a sister who is practically invisible to do whatever we say," Jacob said
I heard Olivia muttering "I'm going to make them drown."
Trust me I want them to die as well.
"You know I'm starting to think that Olivia is going to start crying because we're embarrassing her in front of her friends. Now, they'll that she is a loser who loves to get hurt. Isn't that right Olivia?" Alexander said
That's it I want to kill them now. I took my sword and tried to kill them. Percy, Nico, Tyson, and Annabeth started to the same.
"Whoa, I'm surprised that Isabella had the guts to try to kill us with a stick," Bloom said while laughing
"Yeah, What's the stick going to do? Nothing." Trish laughed
Jacob and Alexander started to laugh with them.
Olivia was about to get the knife until Olivia's mother came downstairs with Olivia's stepfather.
"What's going on here?" James said, "Why are you trying to kill my innocent children?"
"Innocent Children more like Stuck-up teenagers," Nico said
"We're not stuck-up teenagers. We were just talking to them until that goth girl tried to kill us." Bloom whined
Wow, I'm so hurt.
"Who are you calling a Goth girl?" I said
"Oh, shut up. Bloom, tell me everything that happened." James said
"Well, Trish, Jacob, Alexander, and I went downstairs to meet our stepsister and her fake friends. Then, we remembered Isabella, the goth girl that tried to bully us every time we got to school. We started to tell her stop, but she started to grab a stick and tried to kill us. Her friends did the same too except Olivia, our dearest sister tried to get the knife to kill us. They're terrorists, daddy." Bloom said while trying to sound as innocent as possible
Her siblings nodded in agreement
"What a bunch of liars?" Annabeth whispered to me
"That's not what happened. They're lying like they always do." Olivia said
"Quiet, Olivia. What did I tell you about talking?" James said
"You said not talk unless I'm spoken to," Olivia said sadly
"Exactly, I believe them and if they said you're a terrorist then you should go to jail. I'll be calling the cops to take you six in jail." James said
"No, you won't be taking my child to jail." Olivia's mother said
"That wasn't what actually happened. We were just minding our own business until your 'Innocent Teenagers' started to insult us. So, we got angry and tried to take care of them. Olivia got extremely angry and tried to scare them with a knife not to kill them." Percy said
We nodded our heads in agreement
"Well, I believe in my children. They're always good-hearted children who do the right thing. They can do no wrong just like me. I'm the best role model." James said
Olivia POV
How is my stepfather the best role model? To me, he's the worst. Jacob, Alexander, Trish, and Bloom are just like him trying to act all innocent and nice, but behind closed doors their just jerks. I can't believe that Bloom wanted to make it seem like they weren't doing anything wrong.
I want to kill them with that knife so badly, but I had to scare them.
"Explain the best role model," Tyson said
"No comment," James said
"Alright, let's just forget about what happened to today." My mother said, " Thank you guys for visiting us."
My stepfamily stepped out of the living room.
"Don't worry, they'll be gone once you come back from exploring your neighborhood, Olivia. You think I was going to believe their lie. Nope, I wanted to get rid of them ever since they showed their true colors. Now, it's my chance to get rid of them. Have fun dear." She said
"Well, will be going now. I'll come back soon mom." I said
"Thanks for everything even though we almost had a huge fight with them," Nico said
"I don't blame you." My mom said and she went back upstairs.
I know my mom is a troublemaker, but I never knew that she wanted to get rid of them this badly. My mom is full of surprises sometimes.
We walked outside of my house and sit on the benches next to the sidewalks.
"Your mom is pretty cool, but your stepfamily is rude," Isabella said
"They're liars and bullies," Tyson said
"I've never known that they were that bad," Annabeth said
"We should've killed them," Nico said
"We should kill them. They never should've talked about Olivia and Isabella like that. Now, I understand why you tried to act like your fine and why you don't need anybody protecting you. Really, we are your friends, not your fake friends. I hope your mother finds a way to get them out of here." Percy said
He reached out his hands and I grabbed them. We shake hands.
I looked at Tyson. We haven't got to introduce each other properly.
"Hi Tyson, I'm Olivia, your new half-sister. We haven't got to meet each other properly because of what happened." I said
"Nice to meet you, Percy told me about you. He was sad that you left him. He had to search for you around camp." Tyson said
Oh, so that's why their here.
"Percy, did you read the letter?" I asked
"I did, but that was when I was looking for you. Thank goodness, Tyson had the letter on him or else I would go on a rampage." Percy said
"You already went on a rampage. You went to the Big house, the Archery, Hades cabin, and Athena's cabin. Also, you were upset that Annabeth was gone." Tyson said
"Tyson!" Percy said
"It's true. These two were looking for you and Annabeth while I just came here to look for Isabella." Nico said
"Nico!" Percy said
Annabeth, Isabella, and I chuckled.
"So, what are we going to do now?" I said
"Well, I always wondered where does Isabella live?" Nico said
I wonder about that too. Since Isabella and I go to the same school.
"I think Isabella should take us to where she lives," Percy said
Isabella started to tense up. I understand that she's afraid to tell them that she lives in the streets or her house that is broken down.
"Guys, in case you haven't noticed. I live in my destroyed house and sometimes in the streets." Isabella muttered while continuing to walk
"What did she say?" Tyson said
"She sometimes talks that way if she doesn't want to talk about something," Nico said
I'm guessing that Nico had experience with Isabella muttering.
"But that doesn't answer his questions," Annabeth said
"She'll show us instead of telling us," Percy said
We all nodded and kept on walking. Until we stopped in a destroyed house. It looks like a fire that burns a part of the house.
"What is that?" Annabeth asked
"Is that where you live Isabella?" Nico asked
She nodded her head
I wanted to ask what happened, but I already knew the answer. My father and Zeus had something to do with it.
"This is where I live and sometimes I mostly sleep on the streets. Since my family died, I'm an orphan now." Isabella said while giving us a slight smile
I feel like crying because my best friend is living on her own. I have my own experience of sleeping in the streets. Since James was treating me like his servant.
"I understand I ran away from my stepmother and slept on the streets until Luke and Thalia founded me," Annabeth said
"I slept on the streets too in Manhattan because I needed to get away from camp. Since I was mostly the freak there." Nico said
"How many times do we have to tell you that your not a freak Nico?" Percy said
"I know about that Percy," Nico said
"I used to sleep on the streets too mostly because of my stepfather Gabe abusing and kicking me out of the house," Percy said
Wow, I know he had a bad past, but I've never known that his ex-stepfather Gabe had kicked him out of his own house.
"Isabella, you know that I run away from my family and sleep on the streets until my mother has to look for me," I said
"I guess your right about that. You guys had terrible lives and I'm grateful for meeting all of you." Isabella said
"We're grateful for meeting you too," Nico said
We all nodded in agreement
"I guess the rest of us should be going back to camp half-blood now. See you guys later." Annabeth said
With that Nico, shadow traveled Percy, Tyson, and Annabeth back to camp half-blood once they said goodbye.
"See you at school, Olivia," Isabella said
"See you at school too, but this time we're going to sit together at lunch," I said
"Ok," Isabella said
"I gotta go, Isabella. See you tomorrow Bye!" I said while waving my hand goodbye
"Bye Olivia" Isabella said while waving her hand goodbye
I walked back home. I found my mother sitting on the couch drinking some tea.
"Hi, Mom," I said while coming to give my mother a hug.
"Hi Honey," My mom said
"So, what happened to James and his children?" I asked
"Let's just say they went on a trip with the sharks," she said with a grin on her face.
"Mom, what did you do?" I asked with a puzzled look.
"Well, I killed them when their backs were turned and tossed them to the ocean. I prayed to Poseidon to let the sharks eat them for their next meal. I don't know if he answered my prayers or not, but I know that we don't have to see them again. Also, I burned their stuff in the fireplace." My mom said
"Mom,"
"Yes, Sweetie,"
"Thank you. You really are my hero."
"No problem, your friend Percy said it himself that they should've been gone by now. Do you think I will ever see my long lost sister again?" My mom asked
"Yes, you will meet your long lost sister again. It's been a tiring day, so I need to go to sleep." I said
"Ok, I'll let you go to sleep since you have school tomorrow. Next time, please tell me where you have gone because I was worried about you yesterday." she said
I nodded.
I went upstairs to go to bed.
