Hey! Thanks for those of you who reviewed. This chapter is kind of short, but I hope you like it!
"Well then, I suppose there are a few things you should know."
Suddenly, the dream went black and Annabeth felt as if she was falling. She blinked and a scene spread in front of her.
"This place is called the Enchanted Forest. They have a different kind of magic than we do," Athena said from beside her.
Annabeth looked back to the road and noticed a horsedrawn carriage coming, but there was a fallen tree blocking the road. The carriage stopped and a man stepped out. He was helping his guards remove the tree when a dark figure drops from a nearby tree, grabs a pouch from the carriage and steals a horse to try and escape. After a short chase, the prince caught up with the thief and knocked them off of their horse. He pulled back the hood of their cloak and discovered that the thief was a woman. Using his surprise to her advantage, she escaped on her horse.
"Mother, why are you showing me this?"
"Keep watching."
Annabeth looked up again and saw a different scene. They were in a room in a castle. On a bed in the middle of the room, the bandit from the previous vision was laying. The prince stood beside her and looked very anxious. Annabeth looked closer and realized that the woman was about to give birth. She began to go into labor and her baby was delivered healthily.
The baby girl was placed in a blanket with 'Emma' stitched in purple ribbon.
"That's Emma? These are her parents?" Annabeth asked.
"Yes. Now look."
The baby was put into a cupboard carved out of a tree.
Annabeth felt the scene changing again. She was in the hospital in Storybrooke. The prince was laying on a bed in a coma. Athena walked in the doors, carrying a small bundle. She placed the bundle on the bed by his feet and walked out. Annabeth looked and say that the baby was her.
The scene went back to Athens, where her mother always appeared in her dreams.
"Let me explain," Athena said.
"Please do."
"The bandit you saw was named Snow White. She is a daughter of Aphrodite. And the prince was Prince Charming."
"You mean like in fairy tales?"
"All of those 'fairy tales' are real. They are the history of these people. Snow White and Prince Charming had a daughter named Emma. You've met her. She is your half-sister. I assume you remember how my children are born?"
"I don't think I'll ever forget."
"Well, was also clever, so I gave him the gift of another daughter. I had hoped he would be able to keep you, unlike Emma, but her was in a coma, so you grew up as an orphan in Storybrooke until you were 7. I wiped your memory of the town right after you left in hopes that you would not have to go back. But, alas, you always find a way to do what I don't expect. Usually it's a good thing."
"So my dad is a STORY character?"
"No, he is quite real."
"Okay well, I have to get back to the real world. I have a half-sister and a goddess to save."
"A piece of advice before you leave. You would do well to look in San Francisco."
Athena snapped her fingers and Annabeth woke up.
