And we are back for another round! I got positive feedback for the first chapter, so let's continue with little miss Rosie! (I would have kept writing anyway.) Anyway, review time!

OceanBlueSeaEyes: Percy is just a little older, but they don't know that. Remember: they are twins.

It'sYaBoi325: I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE SO EXCITED!

PurpleBunny5540: Good to know, I will go and change that!

AlEmily360: Thanks!

Alright, so time for the disclaimer, I am not Rick Riordan, causing me to not own anything except for Rose!

On with the chapter!


I gulped when I heard someone come close to the door. When it was pulled back my mother was reveled. "Mom!" I smiled and flung myself at her, and we stood there for who knows how long, just enjoying each other's presence.

"Mom! Who is it?" I heard Percy ask from somewhere inside.

Mom moved aside and said, "Come on it, you have some explaining to do." I smiled sheepishly and walked it. When I went in there were string light strung around the room with a evergreen tree in the corner, there were colorful lights and ornaments hung on it. Under there were a few presents, I went over and set down the ones I had made.

"This is amazing", I said breathless, then Percy came in from a hallway and hugged me. Of course, I hugged back. "Do you know where I can put my stuff?" I asked.

"Well, there is a room we have ready, but... you can sleep wherever you want," Mom said, I smiled and followed Percy back the way he came. Once we got to a room that was all blue with pictures of Percy and Mom hung up here and there. There was even my school photo from first grade.

Percy spun around the room as if he were presenting it, I laughed when he said. "And here we are! we are going to share a room if that's okay."

"Percy, I spent five years sleeping on top of people in the Hermes cabin," he nodded and left when Mom called him to help with something. Then a misty image of Luke showed up. "Hey, right now isn't a great time," I hissed.

He looked around the room I was in he said, "Where are you? The plan is ready, we just need you now." I nodded and whispered the address of my mom's apartment. He nodded again and said, "I should be there within a few hours."

I sighed, but nodded again and swiped my hand through the mist. Then Percy walked in, "Who were you talking to?"

"Just someone at camp," then I remembered I only had a few hours. "And since you know that both of us in one place is dangerous, I was wondering if we could do presents now..."

He smiled and led me into the living room where Mom was sitting on the couch flipping through a cookbook. Then I noticed someone missing, "Where's Gabe?" They both started laughing and I just stood there confused.

"Mom turned him to stone with Medusa's head," Percy said it as if he were giving me the weather after he calmed down.

"Of course she did, I mean our family is very weird," I nodded matter of factly. Then I walked over to the tree and picked up the envelope with Mom's card. I handed it to her and read it with a grin on her face. She got up and hugged me so hard I couldn't breathe, then I got Percy to open his.

"This is amazing! Where did you get it?!" Percy exclaimed.

I pretended to think for a little before I answered, "Oh, you know. I got everything to make it in arts and crafts, but I made it." His mouth fell open we talked a little before they made me open the ones from them. I got a bracelet with a trident and horse on it from Percy and courtesy of Mom, I got a sea creature coloring book with space in the back to just draw, they were amazing.

"Oh my gods! These are amazing guys!" Then Mom got up and came back with some cookies. They were blue, but in the shape of holly or mistletoe. I grabbed one and they basically melted inside my mouth, besides, you know, Mom and Percy. The cookies are what I missed the most. "You have to tell me how to make these, they are delicious!

We talked a little more, and granted, I lost track of time. And before I knew it four hours had passed. It was some of the best time of my life, I felt like a normal kid again. Except for the looming fear that Luke was just going to show up at any time. Then there was a knock at the door. I made to get up, but Mom beat me to it.

I sat back down, nervously fidgeting, then I heard a familiar voice. "Hello? I'm looking for Rose Jackson."

"Yes, she's here. Come on in," I stood up as soon as Luke walked in.

I smiled, but kept myself from hugging him, "Luke, it's good to see you again."

He smiled wide, and said, "You packed?"

"Haven't unpacked, I knew you were coming, you think I'm an idiot?"

The Percy lunged at Luke with Riptide uncapped. I jumped in front, causing my arm to get a little mangled. I hissed in pain, but pushed Percy against that wall. "What are you doing!? This is Luke!"

"Yes, I know that. Now, I have to go and get my stuff, see ya when the time comes." Then I called over my shoulder as I walked away, "I never tried to kill you."

Once I got back to the room I was supposed to stay in, I grabbed my bag and went back the front room. My arm was dripping blood, so I took out on of the shirts I had taken with me and wrapped it around to stop the bleeding. "You ready?" Luke seemed a little worried, no one would have noticed it unless they lived with him for as long as I did.

I nodded, we left the building with Mom and Percy standing side by side, but Percy looked ready to explode with anger. I felt bad, but I couldn't in his eyes, I was a cold blood killer, a villian. The Dark Side.


And Percy knows! Dun dun dun! I'm sorry if any of the characters are OOC, but these are them through Rose's eyes, so they look different then from Percy. Like he sees Luke as a bad guy, as Rose sees him as her idol. So... yeah, just clearing something up if anyone was confused.

Now, as a reader I hate long author's notes, so I'm going to stop this here. See you all when the Chapter 3 is out!
