A/N: Hello everyone! Are you enjoying this yet? Please review. It would really help. Oh, and this morning, my dog chewed up important papers so do not own PJO or HoO. All rights belong to Rick Riordan!

Chapter 6:

Percy put at an ice pack on his bruise. Annabeth reluctantly had gone back to continue creating her own world on a piece of paper. Thalia stayed with Percy.

"Is it doing better?" she asked him, nodding toward his bruise.

"Yeah," he lowered the ice pack and set it on the table next to him.

"You seriously scared us all, Percy. Next time, think your plans all the way through."

"I'm sorry, but you and Annabeth have been with me the longest, Thalia. You should know that when I have a plan, I won't think it all the way through and it'll scare you but I will turn up just fine. You guys should know that by now," Percy said.

Thalia frowned. "Percy, just because that's what happens with all of your plans, doesn't mean that we should get used to it. It just worries us more Percy."

"Fine, ok. I'm sorry," Percy apologized. "I'm fine now, and I want to go on deck."

"Ok, I'm coming with you," Thalia said. They both walked out of there and up into the fresh breeze. She could already tell that Percy was doing much better.

"Hey, Percy! You ok?" Leo asked. Percy nodded. Jason came over.

"You're looking better. How do you feel?" he asked.

"Ok," Percy replied. "Just a little headache, but nothing I can't handle." He smiled.

Hazel came over and looked at Percy saying, "Chiron contacted us and he wants to speak with you."

"Ok," Percy said. He walked over to the edge of the ship where Hazel had been.

"Hey, Chiron. What do you need?" Percy asked.

"Just wanted to see how you all were doing. And Percy, your mother wants you to contact her. She's worried sick, as is…Paul, whoever he is. She also has news for you. And what happened to you?" Chiron said, examining the bruise.

Clarisse appeared on the screen, and, seeing Percy, smiled and clapped her hands. "Atta boy! That's what I'm talking about. Get in a fight and let your enemy leave a mark," she smiled. Chiron frowned at her. Percy rolled his eyes.

"I attacked Charybdis and she knocked me out by hitting me against a tree," Percy admitted. Clarisse frowned.

"Hold on a second. Your enemy didn't leave that mark? You are sooo lame, Prissy," Clarisse frowned, and looking at him and shaking her head in disgust, walked away.

"Ignore her," Chiron said, "but I'm glad you are ok." Percy smiled. They talked for a little while longer and then said good-bye.

Percy walked over to the controls room.

"Nothing is coming up right? Nothing that will make this look dangerous, no monsters?" he asked Leo.

"Nope. Why?"

"Just need to make an undisturbed Iris Message," Percy mumbled.

He walked back to where he had talked to Chiron, out of everyone's vision, and willed a spray to come up. He dug a drachma out of his pocket, and tossed it in saying, "Oh Fleecy, do me a solid. Show me Sally Jackson in Manhattan, New York." Suddenly, an image came up. Percy looked like he'd been electrocuted. His eyes were wide, though they held no anger or pain, and his jaw dropped to the floor. Paul Blofis, the man his mother had become to like, was on one knee in front of his mother, holding an open box. He must have just asked the question, because his mother started nodding her head, extreme joy and shock on her face. She kissed Paul and put the ring on. Percy couldn't move. His mom pulled away, looked in his direction, turned back to Paul, and did a double take, her eyes widening.

"Percy!" she cried. Tears were coming into her eyes. He smiled sheepishly. She looked extremely happy, as did Paul, who also looked sheepish.

"Oh my gods! You're ok! He's ok!" she hugged Paul tightly and then rushed closer.

"What happened, Percy? You haven't contacted in nearly 9 months. I haven't been able to get any sleep. Where have you been this whole time?!" she cried. Percy smiled, glad to see his mom again, glad to see her happy. He gave a brief summary of what had happened: Hera taking his memory, being switched with Jason, and going on a quest.

"But why didn't you contact, Percy? You had us both worrying out of our minds," she asked. He could hear the pain and worry in her voice and suddenly felt guilty.

"I did, I called and left a message, but I was so busy the rest of the time. I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to worry you so much," he said. She sighed and twisted her hands together.

"It's alright, I'm just glad you're safe. And, um, how much did you see?" she asked. Her cheeks turned pink. He smiled.

"Just your answer," Percy replied.

"Are you ok with that? I mean, I'm sorry, I should have asked you first," Paul said quickly.

"No, no. It's fine. Plus, you made my mom happy, that's what really matters," Percy said, smiling. "And by the way, where are you guys?"

"Washington," his mom answered. Percy nodded, and no one said anything for a while.

"Percy, there's something I should tell you," Sally sounded nervous. Percy frowned.

"Poseidon came by last week," she started, and somehow Percy knew this wouldn't be good news. "You, you weren't the only one." She said quietly, letting that sink in for Percy. Oh, no. No, no, no. He had a sister? A brother? He winced slightly.

"So, um, is it a he or a—" he was answered, when a girl a few years younger than him, around Hazel's age, appeared. She opened her mouth, but when she saw Percy in the image hanging in mid-air, she froze. She had hair just as dark as his, wavy and went half way down her back. Her eyes were a lighter shade than Percy's, and she had light skin. He gulped.

Hazel was nearby watching. When she saw the girl, she knew she must be related to Percy in some way. She looked a lot like him. Why had he never mentioned her? But she saw the nervous look on Percy's face when he saw her. She'd been drawn towards Percy's conversation when she'd seen his parents. Now, she couldn't take her eyes away.

"W-what's her name?" she heard Percy ask. His mom pulled the girl, who looked freaked, close to her.

"Angelie," his mother replied. He didn't say anything, but Angelie did.

"Who, and what is this?" she asked, her voice confused but demanding.

Her mother turned to her and told her, "This is Percy Jackson, my first son, and your older brother. He is a demigod, half-human, and half-god. Your father was Poseidon," she went on to quickly explain everything that needed saying. "I love you, and I want you to know that, but you need to go with him." At that, Percy looked terrified. "If you stay with me, monsters will continue attacking. Your aura is strong, and he can watch you. Can't you, Percy?"

"Uhhh," he obviously didn't know what to say. "Mom, we're sort of on a quest right now. I think it might be a bit dangerous." His mother's face fell. "But, maybe she can stay with Tyson, or at Camp Half-Blood," he added quickly. His sister still looked scared. Suddenly, Hazel saw a shadow pass outside the window in their house. A big one. She didn't want to take any chances, so she rushed over to Percy. He jumped, looking startled and mad when he saw her.

"I saw a shadow outside their window, Percy. It looked big and I don't want anything to happen. And sorry for eavesdropping," she whispered, hesitantly adding the last part. His head snapped to the image.

"Mom, I think you guys should get to Camp Half-Blood now," he said. This time, they had both seen it.

"Grab the car, some weapons and get out of there fast," he sounded worried. Paul understood. He ran into the kitchen and grabbed four steak knives and rushed back, but it was too late. The front door was ripped off its hinges. His sister yelled, Pau's eyes widened, and his mother cried out.

"I smell sea!" a monster roared. Angelie's jaw dropped.

"Percy, please get here fast! I love you, sweetheart!" she said, and she swipped her hand through the image, making it disappear. Percy stared.

"We have to help them," Percy said quickly, jogging over to Leo.

"Hey, what's—" Leo started, but Hazel interrupted him. "We just found out that Percy has a sister and she needs help."

"Steer this ship south," Percy demanded, I can tell we're close. We'll get there at least by this evening." They both knew that barely gave them any time. By that time, his new found family and/or sister might already be captives. Worse, they could be dead. Percy made the ship speed up as Leo steered.

"What's wrong?" Jason asked worriedly. Percy didn't say anything. He just stared ahead anxiously. All of them had gathered around her and Percy.

"Annabeth, Thalia, wanna come?" Percy asked.

"What are we going to do?" Thalia asked, her eyes narrowed in suspicion. Percy quickly explained what had happened.

"I'm not waiting. I'll go alone if I have to, but I wanted Annabeth because she has the invisibility hat and I might need someone else," he said.

"What about the rest of us?" Frank asked.

"I'll keep this ship going as fast as it can go, and maybe Jason can fly a few of you over, but I should be able to handle it," Percy said. "Come on." He grabbed Annabeth and Thalia and set off, the three of them riding on a huge wave that seemed to be traveling at least 90mph.
