The Accidental Reveal
It had been a week since my last 'vision'. I had decided to call them visions because, well, what else could they be? I had refrained from getting into the pool if anyone was around, but, other than that, everything was normal. I walked over to Jared and Parker, but they were to busy with their conversation to notice me walk up. Lexi and Bree were in the Library studying, so it was just me.
"Do NOT bring my sister into this!" Parker said harshly, "You might not remember, but she disappeared on our eighth birthday!"
"I will never forget!" Jared spat, "Part of me died that day. Do you know how hard it is to continue on with life acting like the love of my life didn't disappear before my eyes."
"Jared, look, I'm sorry. You know I didn't mean it. I'm just super stressed. It's hard not to accidentaly blow our secret to the mortals that we hang out with." Parker said.
'Mortals?' I thought.
"I understand. I've had to resist the urge to fly on multiple occasions. Jaden tried to magic me up an outfit this morning, but I had to decline. No one can find out that we're demigods." Jared said.
'DEMIGODS!" I thought. Apparently I have very loud thoughts because Jared and Parker turned to me with horrified looks on their faces.
"Oh, thank the gods! It's just you." Parker said relieved.
"Yeah, just me." I said, obviously offended.
"He didn't mean it like that. What he meant is that he's glad that it's you instead of Lexi or Bree." Jared said. Parker nodded in agreement.
"So, who are your parents?" I asked.
"Well, the thing is, we're actually grandchildren of the gods. I'm grandson of Zeus, and Aphrodite, and Parker's the grandson of Poseidon and Athena." Jared said.
"Parker, when you get in the water, are you ever completely dry when you get out?" I asked.
"No, I got Athena's power, but Pearl was able to manipulate water before she could walk. If you threw a bucket of water at her, she would stay completely dry." Parker said.
"Oh, so, you're sister, Pearl, does she have raven black hair, and light grey eyes?" I asked.
"No, that's Selena, my older sister. Pearl is my twin." Parker said.
"So, Pearl would have the same golden blonde hair as you, and emerald green eyes? She would also stay completely dry when in the water?" I asked.
"I can neither confirm, nor deny that statement." Parker said.
"Why not?" I asked.
"I promised someone never to speak of her." Parker replied.
"You love her, don't you." I asked Jared.
"Yeah, I told her when we were six, but she just told me that I had to be taller than her to have a chance as her boyfriend." Jared said.
"You don't say." I said. My visions might not be visions at all! What if they really were flashbacks! What if I had Pearl's memories!
