"Mom." I sighed, falling into her arms.
"Oh, Percy, you've grown!" She said softly, "Percy, I would've understood if you became what you are. I'm you mother!"
I smiled at her, "I was so foolish back then."
"Percy, what are you doing here on Olympus? And why do you look so different?"
"Oh." I said, "Um, that's quite the complicated story... What do you say we enjoy the party and then afterwards I tell you?"
She frowned , "Oh... Oh, okay. We'll enjoy ourselves first."
For the next hour or two I sat down with my Mom and Paul, and we caught up. It turns out I had a new half-sister, Hannah Annabeth Blofis. I was displeased at the middle name but kept it to myself. Paul and my mom had gotten married last September, which felt like a week ago in my time. Finally, my hour had come.
"So, Percy, we've told you everything, now it's your turn." Paul grinned. Like my second step-father knew anything about how 'funny' this situation was.
"Well, about a year after my erm... change... Annabeth, Thalia and Grover came back to Forks. They thought I was dead, but when they saw me at Forks High they knew I was alive. Annabeth confronted me and I confessed to what I was... a monster."
"Oh, honey, you're not a monster! You didn't ask for any of this to happen."
"Well, anyways, me and Annabeth started dating again after she stopped my death-by-Volturi wish, and I had the Cullens and wolves join Olympian forces to defeat Gaea. We've got five years until the real war begins, according to the augurs. Then, Zeus offered for me and Annabeth to become gods."
"Oh, Percy, did you say yes?" My mom smiled,
"Yes."
She hugged me tightly and asked what happened next.
"Well, Annabeth cheated on me," I said bitterly,
"Oh, no!"
"And for revenge I'm with Aphrodite. I challenged Annabeth to a battle after she called Aphrodite a..." I paused, "Mean word..."
"What happened?" My mom asked concernedly,
"Well, I defeated her. We broke off the engagement and now Annabeth is a minor god."
"And is she okay?"
"Annabeth?" I asked,
"Yes, did you hurt her too badly?"
"I'm not sure... I was ushered out for a quick triumph after I won... Whatever she got she deserved." I spat,
"Percy, that's not very nice, especially to someone who saved your life."
"My half-life." I mumbled,
"Perseus Jackson!" she scolded.
"I'm sorry," I sighed, "I've changed a lot in the last two years."
"It's okay." Mom said as she took a sip of water.
"And Mom?"
"Yes?"
"Call me Augustus."
I was flung from the center of the arena into the wall. The next few moments were a blur, but I woke up in agony, in the middle of a crater.
"Arghh." I mumbled, trying to move my arm.
"No," Someone's voice stopped me. I opened my eyes to see Apollo, who was healing my obviously broken arm. "It's pretty bad. Lamegustus beat you up pretty bad."
I laughed weakly. Stirring slightly, the I was nauseated so I decided not to move again. "So what happened?"
"Well, in the beginning when you threw your dagger at him, he caught it and crumpled it into a small little ball thingy. Then, he flung the little tin marble at you, but that was a blur for me as well. All I know is after that you were hit with the sound of a supersonic boom and crashed into the wall. Five minutes later, here we are."
"Oh." I pursed my lips. Apollo handed me some nectar and I soon felt better. Getting up, I flashed to Olympus with Apollo, and we headed to our duties for the day. Something inside me, I'm not sure what, whispered this in my mind, "Don't let Aphrodite take Augustus..."
