Twilight came. Percy and I had no place to go to for shelter; he said he didn't want to go into any place that sells statues. I understand why- Medusa. If you're wondering how I know all about Percy while he knows nearly nothing about me, let's just say, I got some information from someone named Sally. Yeah, I met his mother. Ira had gotten loose and I found myself waking up to her face. Blowfis- more like Blowfish- wasn't there, thankfully. She let me stay and that night I told her who I was. Then she told me about Percy.

Anyway... Here we were in the middle of the night with no shelter.

"I guess we're sleeping in nature tonight," I muttered. I removed the sword I took from camp from my waist and we settled down in the grass.

"Looking for shelter, children?" A woman asked us.

We turned. I had expected it to be Medusa- I wonder who Percy thought she was- but it was just a woman with either brown or blond hair and snake-skins as scarves and belts.

"Who are you?" Percy demanded, his eyes glancing at the sword I had then back at the woman. I took it as my cue to get ready to fight.

"My name is Lamya." She said, moving swiftly. Soon her snake-skin scarves were draping over my left shoulder. "Now, are you two looking for shelter?" She hissed in my ear.

I fought my urge to say "yes, we are. Can we come with you to your home?" Instead, I said, "No, we're not. We're comfortable right here."

She smirked then went to Percy. She whispered the same thing to him.

"No... We're not looking for shelter." He eventually said.

Lamya started to look irritated. "Whatever you say, children. You shall find something that has gone,

"And find an enemy in the person with a golden sword drawn.

"You will fail to save who you wish to most.

"You shall meet someone's ghost.

"With Life gone and Death here,



"The rest of your Fate is unclear." She stated. She let her scarves drape over us as she passed by, smiling. "A person will be harmed by a parent's hand," She added.

We remained quiet. She just recited my prophecy. Child of Apollo or a real Oracle?

"Sweet dreams, children." She hissed then disappeared into the Night.

-late at night-

Valerie and Percy were deep in Morpheus' Land. So deep in sleep that they didn't know what was going to happen.

"Sssuper..." Lamya hissed. "Time to get rid of this disguise."

A dim light suddenly appeared and in place of Lamya was a Lamiai. She was the original Lamia, the one that Zeus had loved. She was a queen of Libya. Hera had killed her children. Zeus, trying to calm her, gave her the gift of prophecy and the ability to temporally remove her eyes. Somehow her lower body became one of a serpent. Or maybe it was just because she was with snakes or snake-skin in every painting of her. Later, Lamia became plural, the Lamiai. The Lamiai murdered children. So now, Lamya- Lamia- had the lower body of a serpent. She slithered towards the sleeping half-siblings and...

O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o

I snapped awake, having heard Val scream. I turned and she was leaning forward, holding her stomach with a bloody red hand. Her black hair was splattered with blood, as was her clothes. "Val, Val," I said as I leaned closer, trying to figure out what happened. "What happened to you?"

"Lamya, Percy. Lamya." She said in a sing-song voice. "Lamya, Lamya, Lamya." She started to sway her head as she continued to say "Lamya" over and over again.

"Val! Snap out of it!" I snapped. Her saying "Lamya" repeatedly got annoying.

"You really should stop calling me that." She replied. She continued saying Lamya.

I rolled my eyes. Probably should call a mental hospital. "Valerie Jackson! Come back to reality!"

"You really should stop calling me that." She repeated. Back to saying Lamya. Yup. A mental hospital is needed.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" I practically yelled. I pulled her hair so her head looked up then let go.

Her head continued to look at the stars then slowly turned to my direction. "You really shouldn't have 

done that, brother." Her pupils were inside her head- what I mean is that all you could see was white. "You really, really shouldn't have done that." Her pupils returned to their normal place. "A god will turn against someone,

"But His reign has only begun." She stated. "A god will turn against someone... A god will turn against... A god will turn... A god's will... A god... A-a-a-a..." She fainted. Her hand fell to her side and I saw the damage done.

Normally, you wouldn't be in nature when you get shot. But this isn't normally.

Valerie had several gunshots in the stomach and one in her head.

"Help me..." Someone whispered, though it wasn't Valerie or Enella. "Please help..."

"Perc... Pier... Pierce..." Valerie whispered.

God, why did this have to happen in the middle of the night and when we were in the woods? I don't even think there's a river or stream nearby... I guess I'd better carry her to a hospital. Now, how am I supposed to explain what we were doing in the woods without adult supervision?

-Hospital-

"What's your name?" A doctor asked me as another doctor and some nurses wheeled Valerie into the ER room.

I really didn't trust anyone with my real name so I told the doctor another one. "Pierce Jackson,"

"And the girl? She your sister?" He wondered as he wrote down something on his clipboard.

"Yes. Her name is Val," I replied. I thought of some fake story to explain why I brought her here alone without our parents. "Our parents died. She wanted to go camping like our parents did with us. We fell asleep and I woke up to her screaming." Well, the last part was true.

"Uh-huh. She'll be out in a few hours. It'll be a while until she can leave the hospital, though. Like a few weeks." The doctor stated.

Well, looks like I'm gonna be taking her out a bit early.

O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o

"Doctor Samad," A nurse shouted. "The Jackson girl- she's gone!"



I woke up and sighed. Wait. "Jackson girl"? As far as I knew, I was the "Jackson girl" but something told me that the nurse was saying that only one hour ago. I couldn't be the person she was talking about... so who was she talking about?

I shook off my feeling of uncertainty and started to walk again. It was Dawn and I wanted to be on the move as much as possible. "It's summer, at least. More time for me to be moving."

I stood and...

Blackness once more.

-later-

Where am I? I turned around, staring at my surroundings. I was in nature, for sure. But where in nature?

Groaning, I rubbed my head. There was something sticky... Oh gods! Blood! I was bleeding! ... Why did I say "gods," plural? "I must becoming insane... Now I'm talking to myself! I think I need a mental hospital..."

I had no idea where to go. So I walked South- yes, that's where I need to go. South. Free the slaves.

Hopefully I wasn't too late.

O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o

One hour since I took Valerie from the hospital, about a day since I left camp, and only two or three days since Enella was found and I've had enough of these newly found Demigods- the ones who had Cassandra Jackson as their mother, anyway. My arms were tired and Valerie still hadn't even stirred. They had removed the bullets and were thinking someone wanted to murder her so they sent some DNA and the bullets to some crime lab. She still looked like before, except for the bandages wrapped around her head and stomach. You'd think I'd be able to carry her since she looked thin, but never judge a book by it's cover.

"Tobin..." Valerie whispered, stirring. "Raelyn... The gods... They're real, aren't they?"

I wasn't sure what to say, really. "Yes, the gods are real." I finally said. I don't know what could make her think I was Tobin.

She slowly opened her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak but instead of saying something like "so I'm really Poseidon's daughter," she said, "Who are you?"

My mouth was hanging open and she was lucky I didn't drop her. "Val, don't you know?"


Valerie stared at me in confusion. "Who's Val?"

Oh gods.

O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o

Enella walked South, slowly making her way to Gettysburg. It would be a while, though, herself not even near the New York/New Jersey border. So we will go back to her when something interesting happens, besides that she believes that her quest is to free the slaves- which have been free for a while now- and that she was still living in the 1800s.

I turned to the place where Percy and Valerie were. They were sitting now, Valerie questioning everything he said- "Who's Poseidon?", "What's a Gorgon?", "Who's Tobin?"- and Percy getting a pounding headache. Then Valerie started to pick at the bandages around her stomach and it took a while for Percy to stop her. I really think that little Valerie was making him go crazy. Finally, Percy gave up and they started to walk again.

I can't believe she got amnesia. Percy was thinking. I still don't know how I do this stuff. And at all times, she had to get it now.

I chuckled. Yes, she had to get amnesia now. It is her fate along with her half-sister's.

Percy's head jerked up, toward where I would be if I was able to be seen. Had he heard me? He shook his head and continued walking.

What happened to my brother? Valerie wondered.

Her brother. Which one? Percy or Percy Jackson? Oh, why did they happen to have the same nickname and last name? I mean, Pierce Jackson or Percy Jackson?

Percy. Perseus. Valerie thought, as if answering me. Why is he dead?

OK... Totally uncalled for...

I focused on Percy. His heart was beating. He wasn't dead. Unless she was talking about, dead, as in no emotion. But he still had emotion. He was worried and he was frustrated. Worried that he would have the burden of letting Valerie die while he was with her and frustrated that she had amnesia then.

Percy is not dead. So what was Valerie talking about?

My full brother. Why is he dead? Valerie corrected.


Ah. Pierce. He died fighting for freedom, Valerie. Freedom for the slaves.

I barely remember him. Valerie sounded like she wanted to cry, but she didn't look like she wanted to show that she was weak. Why did he have to die?

He wasn't protected. His pendant would have helped him survive if he had it during that battle. But he's all right. You'll see him in time.

But when? When will I get to see him? I don't want to die, but I want to see him.

You'll see him soon, my dear. But not through the face of Death. I promise.

A lone tear fell down her right cheek. She leaned her head on Percy's left shoulder. He looked surprised but placed a comforting arm around her. The bond of siblings can never be broken as far as I've seen.

"Father, can't we help comfort the girl?" I asked.

"I'll ask Hades to bring me Pierce." The suited, bearded man behind me said. He walked away.

I stayed and stared at the children of Poseidon and the girl that was so close to me. I sat down and cried.

O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o

I over heard Zeus and Hades talking with each other through Iris Messaging.

"I don't know why I would help you, Zeus." Hades said.

"No, not me. My daughter along with the boy's full sister." Zeus replied. "His sister was saying that she barely remembers him and wondering when she could see him again yet not be dead."

Hades paused. "You're talking about the half-brother of the runaway, correct? The half-brother of one of my Demigod children?"

"Yes, that boy." Zeus confirmed.

Why didn't they just say the names? It would be so much easier to follow that way.

The Lord of the Dead sighed. "I'll have Persephone help me."

"Good." Zeus said then someone cut the connection.



Hades summoned me. I still haven't figured out how, but it just felt like I was being teleported.

"Yes, Lord Hades?" I wondered as I bowed.

"Spying on me again, have we?" Hades said. I opened my mouth to protest but he motioned for me to stop talking. "It doesn't matter. Lady Persephone will be here soon. Tell me, do you want a different body or your own?"

Wait. I was the boy they were talking about? Well, I'm not really a boy but you get what I mean. "My own, Lord Hades." I answered

Persephone appeared, as lovely as ever. She didn't say anything, just look at Hades, who nodded, and they both touched/grabbed one of my shoulders.

At first, their hands had gone trough me but soon I could actually feel their hands. Feel them. I could feel! I haven't been able to feel for 145 years! "What are you doing?" I forced myself to ask. Not that I didn't want to be able to feel and such...

They didn't answer. They just made their grips firmer until I was alive. As I was beginning to be whisked away to above ground, I saw a face of a blond haired girl. She had to be twenty-four but it only felt like yesterday I saw her, twenty, waving good-bye as Jacob, myself and others went off to war.

I opened my mouth to say her name but no sound came out. I was already in a wood of some sort.

"Percy?" Someone asked.

I turned around and saw them.

O.o O.o O.o O.o O.o

Percy, my half-brother, was the one who spoke. "Percy?"

Percy, my full brother, turned. His face changed from surprised to confused. "Who are you two? Why do you look like me? Where am I? What happened? When is it?"

"1, I'm Perseus/Percy Jackson, son of the god Poseidon and Sally Jackson; this is Valerie Jackson, daughter of the god Poseidon and Cassandra Jackson- we are only half-siblings through Poseidon. 2, I have no idea why, but so far, Valerie and Enella, who is missing, have mistook me for you. 3, some woods, no idea where. 4, no idea what happened to you- as far as I know, you died over a century ago. 5, it's early June of 2007." Percy answered.

"And that explains everything." Pierce rolled his eyes, then his face got serious. "En? Is she alright? And 

since when did I have another sister?"

"We don't know, Pierce." I said. The two people nicknamed Percy looked at me. "And I was born the day before Mom died."

Pierce's eyes fell upon my bandages. "Are you all right, Va?" He walked over and placed my other arm around him. Less than two minutes of knowing him and I already had my own nickname from him.

I nodded weakly.

"She took bullets to the stomach and one in her head. She had amnesia until now. She said Lamya when I asked her who did it to her." Percy replied. "We somehow found a hospital and they removed all the bullets that were stuck then I took her out of her bed, tried to help her get her memory back, walked, and then we're here."

I felt something near the areas of the bullets. I let go of my brothers and my left hand grabbed my stomach while my right reached for my head. My eyes closed shut and then I opened them again, getting a feeling that I wasn't completely in control.

"His reign has only begun..." I said, rocking back and forth. "He is about to rise. Gods turned mortal... Destruction... The Chosen One... Fail to save... Life gone... A god will turn... Death here... No Man's Land... Help me... Help... Save Little Brittan... Show the truth... Enella... Civil War... Death here..." I blinked my eyes suddenly aware of what I said. I tried to make it sound more sensible- even though I was technically older than Percy and I think Pierce also since I was alive longer than him, I didn't want to make myself look like a fool in front of my brothers. "He is about to rise. His reign has only started. Goddess turned mortal. There will be destruction because of the Chosen One. I will fail to save her. Her life is gone. A god will turn against her. Thanatos is here. She is in No Man's Land in the Civil War. Help me save Little Brittan. Show her the truth. Enella is in the Civil War. Where death is."

I stood up and suddenly my brothers removed my bandages, Pierce undoing the stomach ones while Percy did the ones on my head. I opened my mouth to ask why they were doing that but when the bandages were gone I knew. My wounds were gone. The hole in my shirt was gone also. The only thing left was dry blood.

"What happened?" I wondered.

Pierce looked upwards. "She was a goddess. Little Brittan. Brittany." He gave a faint smile. "She was a Demigod at first. Her father turned her into a goddess. And then she became human again..."

Percy looked at me and I shrugged, telling him that I had no idea what Pierce meant. Percy shook his head. "We have to get going. Save Brittany and Enella."



Pierce nodded and then he took the lead, changing directions to South. "En's at Gettysburg."

Percy and I shrugged then followed him.
