Ok I elaborated since I've gotten a couple requests to do so. This does have some foreshadowing to the rest of the Mia and Claire Saga. I will be updating Breaking Point and hopefully finishing it up over the break so I can start the next installment for you guys. Please no flames...review and tell me how you liked it. The reviews keep me going! RawR and enjoy! :D~RawR

Rain began to pour as I drove down the country road that led to Rachel's house. Rachel had moved to the country after graduating high school and started her art business. I knocked on the bright orange door and Rachel answered it in a pair of paint splattered jeans and matching paint splattered blouse.

"Thalia!" she was surprised to see me, "Where's Luke?"

"Rachel we've decided to keep the twins separate, just until they're old enough to start facing this prophecy. Will you take care of Claire in the meantime?" I asked her.

Rachel looked at me and nodded, "Of course I will. I promise you that Claire will be safe here."

I took one last look at the sleeping infant in my arms before passing her off to Rachel. Rachel took Claire into her arms and smiled. I said my goodbyes and thanked Rachel once again before heading back to my car. It was only a matter of time before Kronos appeared like he had earlier that month. I didn't want him swaying my daughters in the way that he had swayed my husband.

"Dad please don't let anything happen to Claire." I whispered.

Lightning crashed as I walked up the stone path leading to Grover's wilderness hideout. I knocked on the door cooing at Amelia who was cooing back at me with wide electric blue eyes. Juniper answered the door with Grover right behind her.

"Luke?" Grover asked, "Where's Thalia?"

"Can I ask you two a huge favor?" I asked them.

"Of course you can Luke." Juniper smiled.

"Thalia and I have decided that the best way to keep Kronos from finding the twins is to keep them separated until they're old enough to be reunited. I'm asking if you two could take care of Amelia." I explained.

Juniper took one look at the cooing infant in my arms and smiled, "Of course we will."

I kissed Amelia's forehead and handed her over to Juniper who smiled, "She looks exactly like her mother."

"Luke we'll keep Amelia safe, we promise." Grover smiled sadly.

"Thank you, we'll find a way to repay you." I nodded.

As I walked away I whispered, "Zeus please don't let anything happen to Amelia."

Four Years Later

"Claire where are you?" I called. I had searched the whole house and still I couldn't find her. I was panicking of course because I had only turned my back for a moment to get her some hot chocolate and poof she was gone.

Then I heard giggles from the coat closet. I opened the door and found the little rascal crouched in the corner, giggling, "You found me!"

She threw her tiny arms around my neck and yawned, "I'm sleepy Rachel."

I smiled, "I can see that."

"Did you make me my hot chocolate?" Claire asked.

I nodded, "That's what you asked me for wasn't it?" I laughed.

She nodded, "I really want some hot chocolate."

I carried her to the kitchen and set her down on one of the chairs before handing her the hot chocolate. I looked at the time as she took her last sip, "Claire its time for bed now."

She looked at me and violently shook her head, "I don't want to go to bed."

"Why?" I asked her curiously.

"I have scary dreams." she whispered.

"Scary dreams?"

She nodded, "Monsters and scary men with weird eyes."

"Do you still have your locket on?" I asked.

She nodded, "A man and a woman always come into my dreams and save me from the monsters though."

I nodded, "That's because you're wearing your necklace."

Claire yawned and held her arms out to me. I picked her up and carried her to my room. She could sleep in there just in case she had a nightmare. She snuggled under the blanket and fell asleep as soon as her face hit the pillow. I kissed her head and went over to my studio to work on my latest painting.

"Mia, it's time for bed!" Juniper called.

There was no answer. Mia did this every night and truthfully it scared the living Hades out of us the first time she did it. In the living room I found her under a blanket on the sofa. She blinked her sleepy blue eyes at me and frowned, "I'm not sleepy."

"Mia it's getting late, Juniper and I need to get you to sleep." I explained.

Mia looked at me, "Why do I need to go to sleep?"

I laughed, "Because you're growing, you need your sleep."

"Will you tell me a bedtime story Grover?" she asked.

"Of course I will Mia." I smiled.

Mia held out her arms for me to pick her up and I carried her to her room, "Do you have your necklace on?"

She nodded, "You told me to never take it off."

"That's right Mia, you must always keep this on or the scary dreams will get worse." I explained to her.

She nodded, "I know Grover."

"So what bedtime story do you want to hear tonight?" I asked her.

"The one about the princess who saved her friends and turned into a tree!" Mia grinned.

I nodded and began the story as I tucked her in and handed her the stuffed Pegasus toy she had begged Juniper and I for at the mall one day at the Disney store. The child was practically attracted to mythology. After the story Mia still wasn't asleep so I grabbed my reed pipes, "Do you want me to play some music for you?"

She nodded, "Please Grover."

I started playing a song that my mother played for me when I couldn't sleep. After about a minute of me playing, which has gotten better over the years, Mia was alseep. I kissed her forehead and turned off her light making sure that her nightlight was on. It projected the stars of the night sky onto her ceiling and sometimes when I come check on her I'll find her looking up at the stars talking to her Pegasus. Juniper was already asleep by the time I got to bed.

Eight Years Later

I sighed and looked down at the water under my feet. Grover and Juniper didn't know that I was gone yet but I was almost positive that they would be figuring it out soon enough. I just wanted a little freedom. I was never allowed out of their sight. They home schooled me for God's sake! I sat on the beat up wooden dock and allowed my feet to dangle over just enough to touch the water below my feet.

An eagle landed next to me, not a bald eagle but a golden eagle like the ones in the movies about myths and whatever. It literally was an inch away from me. The eagle turned it's head and looked at me and instead of intense amber eyes like most birds of prey this eagle had shockingly blue eyes. It's eyes were almost the color of my own.

I reached my hand out and the eagle rubbed its head against it. Apparently it was friendly. It stared at me intently and side stepped a little closer to me. Somewhere in the back of my head I could hear a voice that reminded me of a movie character, "You're destined for great things granddaughter."

I blinked and shook my head and the eagle looked at me again before nuzzling my fingers again and flying off once more. I blinked and shook my head once more. It seemed like the eagle was the one who put the voice in my head. My whole life I've always had a thing for birds of prey but that was completely weird. I nursed a falcon back to health once when I was younger, I've held hawks when I was toddler, but whatever just happened right there was weird.

I sat in the hammock that Rachel had between two Oak trees in her backyard and I sketched things. A little Garter Snake had made its way up to the hammock and slowly wound its way around my arm. I had no problem with snakes, in fact I remember a time when I was little and Rachel took me to the zoo where we spent half of the time in the Reptile House because I could swear the snakes were talking to me like I was their master. Sometimes I felt like Harry Potter when it came to all the weird attention I got from snakes.

The snake continued to wrap around my arm until it was looking straight at me. This snake was different from any of the snakes I've ever seen in my life, instead of the usual grassy green it was a deep emerald green with eyes that were the most amazing crystalline blue. It flicked its forked tongue at me and held its head up. I started to sketch the snake on my sketch pad when suddenly there was a voice in the back of my head, "You're destined for greatness Claire."

I dropped my pencil and looked at the snake who stared right back at me and flicked its tongue casually. I shook my head and blinked slightly before looking at the snake who was still flicking its tongue and staring at me contently. This was weird, I swear the snake was the one who just said I was destined for greatness. I was used to hearing things when around snakes but I wasn't completely used to hearing one address me, that was completely and totally weird.

Four Years Later

Sixteen, the age most people look up to before turning eighteen and now that's where I was headed. I walked into my room with the plate of cake Juniper handed to me moments before. Grover and Juniper were really cool about giving me my alone time. I sat on my bed and unclasped the locket from around my neck. It was a silver crescent moon shaped locket with my first initial, a lightning bolt, and a winged shoe engraved on it.

As long as I've had the locket I've never really tried to look inside it. I've always figured that it was completely empty. I turned it over in my fingers and looked at the back the back was just as ornate as the front side was. Finally I got a little curious and decided to open the locket for the very first time. I know I was young when my parents had to give me away according to Juniper my mom was only twenty one and my dad was twenty three. Somewhere in the back of my mind I still had a really distant memory of my parents and a sister. I'm almost positive there was a sister somewhere.

I could remember something about my mother, she was young obviously and she had the brightest blue eyes, but her singing voice was what I remembered most when it came to anything about my mother. I just faintly remember someone singing to me in a sweet melodic voice in another language. The thing I remembered most about my father was his smile, there was always a distant memory of my father's warm smile. As for the sister that I might possibly have the only thing I could remember was possibly sleeping in the same crib most of the time we were holding hands.

I opened the locket and staring back at me was a picture of my mom and dad on one side and two infant girls on the other side. My mother was gorgeous with bright blue eyes and black hair and freckles that were starting to fade but didn't make her look completely childish. My father was handsome, blonde, muscular, the type of guy most girls would fall for at first glance. There were two infants bot girls, one was raven haired the other was blonde.

I closed the locket and tried to imagine what life would've been like if my parents didn't have to give me away. I wondered what they would've been like. Juniper's told me a lot about my parents and from what she tells me they sound amazing. If only...

I was sixteen, the age most kids wanted to turn before they turned eighteen and could make their own decisions. I held the mug of hot chocolate in my hands and sat on the window seat in my room looking out over the backyard. I set my mug of cocoa down and unclasped my gold sun shaped locket from around my neck. The front was engraved with my first initial, a lightning bolt, and a winged shoe. The back was just as decorated as the front was.

I've never tried to open my locket for as long as I've had it. I figured that it was just an empty locket. I ran my fingers over the shiny metal and studied it before getting a little curious. I knew that my parents were super young when they had to give me up but I could remember very faint things about them. I could remember my mother singing to me in a sickeningly sweet melodic soprano in another language. I could remember the warm smile that my father always seemed to have plastered to his face. I could also remember that there had been another girl, one that I always shared a crib with and held hand with. I think I had a sister but I wasn't quite sure if I did or not.

I finally opened the locket and there it was. A picture of my mother and father on one side and a picture of two infant girls on the other. My mother was gorgeous and I instantly envied her dark hair, shocking eyes, and freckles. My father was your all around handsome, muscular guy that any girl, sane or insane, girl would've fallen for. Then I looked at the two infants one was obviously me and other was a raven haired baby, my sister.

I closed the locket and started to think about how life would be if my parents could've kept me. I wondered what kind of people they had been. Rachel's told me about them and from what she's said they seemed like they were amazing people. If only...

One Year Later

Turns out I did have a twin sister, Claire Delphi Castellan and now I was living with my parents. Well I was sort of living with them. I've been busy trying to save camp twice. I've succeeded both times but still its exhausting. My sister is honing in on her little prophecy gift and she's getting loads better at it. Now you're probably wondering about my love triangle. Well yes Seth is 'officially back' but I wouldn't take that for much since the last time he was 'officially' back he had orchestrated an attack on the camp. Nicky was still the sweet guy who held me when I cried over Seth.

I wondered if Aphrodite was getting amusement out of throwing all the emotions at me right in the middle of a time where I'm completely full of insane emotions from finding out that I have a world to save, a twin sister, and meeting my parents for the first time since I was an infant. I guess she likes to meddle in love and I guess I've recently become her target.

Seth and I were still on shaky ground. However Nicky and I were still as close as we were when we went on the quest. Don't ask me which way I'm swaying because honestly I don't know. I know I should probably go for a guy like Nicky because he's been there for me but there's just something about Seth that I just can't shake. Wow I sound like my cousin Winter...who may I add is still happily dating Diego Valdez. Claire and I were on our way to becoming best friends and we already had the twin telepathy thing going on. As weird as it sounds I liked having someone who could understand me the way Claire did, it's nice having someone you can talk to when you need to.

I did have a sister, Amelia Diana Castellan, and I was now living with my parents. I wasn't away most of the time like Mia was. Yes I've been busy trying to save camp but I haven't been tracking down Seth Jackson like she was all the time. We've succeeded both times in trying to save the camp and soon we were about to be put up to our greatest task, trying to save the world and keeping Seth Jackson from doing anything else that might be considered mildly stupid.

I was happy, I had my sister, my parents, and an amazing boyfriend James Solace. I met James when I first got to camp and we sort of just clicked. I wasn't in the emotional state that my sister was in with her love triangle thing. Honestly I don't think it's my sister's fault. I think Aphrodite was getting a little bit of payback on my parents and the demigods of their generation.

Mia and I were slowly but surely becoming best friends. We literally finish each other's sentences like the Weasley twins. I know it sounds a little creepy but hey it actually is kinda cool. I love having someone around who understands me the way Mia does. We've been getting closer since the first day we met. I'm still close friends with Charlie and of course my parents are pretty cool. Sometimes I feel like I can trust Mia with anything, including my own life. Well we're about to save the world, wish us luck!
