Hi, just wanted to say before the chapter starts. I wrote this at like 2 o'clock in the morning and this is going to be pretty short ((Yeah that was a lie)) (mostly cuz this is like a filler). This is basically after the party. Anyway, I do not own any Percy Jackson nor Hero of Olympus characters. Enjoy the chapter!
3rd Person POV
The house was quiet and peaceful. The five campers that came, uninvited, were told to come back to the camp by Chiron himself. Leaving the family by themselves. Not before they helped clean up the place, though. They waved to the reunited family as they left. Telling the twins that they'll see them tomorrow at camp.
"Well, you two can get ready for bed too." Sally told her kids, closing the front door.
"What? Already?" the two asked, shocked.
"You both had a long day today. I'm sure your both tired." She said.
The twins looked at each other and shrugged. "I guess so." Harmonia spoke up. "I haven't always managed to fall asleep this early before, though."
"Maybe being home can help with that." Percy suggested.
Harmonia hummed thoughtfully, "Maybe, But where would I sleep?"
"You can sleep in my room!" Percy suggested, too enthusiastic for his own good.
Harmonia looked at hime with a blank look. "You sound like a kid," she told him before a small smile appeared on her face, "but that sounds like a plan."
With that they started to go up the stairs. "Harmonia." A voice called before they left. The girl turned to her mother, who motioned her to come here. "Let's talk for a little bit."
Harmonia looked at the woman strangely, but nodded. She told Percy to go on, as she stayed down here. Sally also saying that it wont be long. With that, Percy went up the stairs as his sister stayed. An uneasiness formed between the two. There was certainly something familiar with the demand.
Sally sat on the couch and motioned her daughter to sit by her. Harmonia did as was implied and sat by her mom, rather stiffly. Sally chuckled and said, "You dont have to be so stiff. Nothing's going to happen." Harmonia looked at her and nodded. Sally smiled fondly at the girl beside her. "You really look like me. I'm glad one of you did." She told her jokingly.
Harmonia chuckled. "Yeah, I cant help but see you when I look in a mirror." She said, "And the resemblance is uncanny with the right contacts."
"Contacts?" Sally questioned.
"Ah, well... Some quests I do kinda needs me to use disguises." She explained.
Sally hummed. "Mind if you let your hair down?"
The question shocked Liz, but she nodded and started taking her hair down. (Idk if i explained it. But the top of her hair is in a bun like ponytail, while the rest is down. There's also like a little braid too. kinda like Piper.) When it was down, Sally saw as the new layer of hair added more inches to her daughter's hair. Her dark brown hair went down to the center of her back.
Sally ran her hand through Liz's hair. "Looks and feels healthy. Still trying to reach your goal?"
Harmonia nodded. "Can't wimp out now. It's getting close." She exclaimed, with a proud smile. 'I wanna get it as long as she did.' She thought looking at her mom.
Sally let out a laugh, "Well you do got my genes, but I wish you luck on your hair journey, young one. Remember all that I have taught you."
"I will never forget your lessons, oh great one." Harmonia said, bowing slightly. Making Sally bow back.
When the two arose, they looked at each other before bursting out laughing. They talked a little while longer, before they realized it was time to get some rest. As Harmonia went to her brother's room, a small memory played in her mind.
*Flashback time*
A small 5 year old Harmonia was running to her mother, a picture in her hands. "Mama! Mama!" She was calling out.
Her mother turned to her daughter, a smile forming on her tired face. "Yes, Moonshine?"
"Look what i found!" The small child lifted the picture up, to her mom. "Is this you?"
Sally kneeled down, to get eye-level to her daughter, and looked at the picture. It showed a teenage girl, with very long brown hair, that went down her lower back. Her blue eyes sparkling, going along well with her bright smile. She was in front of a school, it was her freshman year. Sally gently took the picture from her daughter's hand and held it in her own. She smiled and nodded at Harmonia. "Yup, this is me."
Harmonia looked at her with a wide smile. "You look so pretty, mama! Do you think I'll look as pretty as you?"
The question shocked Sally. She wasn't expecting her daughter to ask something like that. The shock quickly left tho, as she had a warm smile on her face. "I think you'll look even prettier."
"Can I grow my hair as long as you did too?"
Sally blinked. "Do you want your hair that long?" When Harmonia nodded, Sally smiled slightly. "Then yes, you can. You do seem like you're leaning on my genes more than your fathers." She said the last part mostly to herself.
Harmonia tilted her head. "Genes? like pants?" Sally chuckled and told her not to worry about it. "Well, Imma get my hair as long as you did!" She declared with a tiny fist in the air. Sally look at her with a smile and wished her luck. The rest of the time was spent with telling stories of her freshman year.
*Flashback end*
Harmonia smiled at the memory as she fell asleep. "I'm almost to the goal, mama." she muttered to herself as she drifted off.
