Last time on Only Time Will Tell:

Falling back and frantically scooting away from the camp the stranger was breathing hard. Her hands flew to her eyes attempting to rub the cobwebs away. As she opened them again she was staring directly at Percy and Annabeth. 'Holy Hera' The strange girl thought to herself, and on a shaky breath she said "M-mom? D-dad?"

Chapter 4: Picture This

Gasps ran through out the camp. Mom? Dad? She's too old to be their kid! Murmurs turned into a hushed uproar. Annabeth and Percy were frozen solid. What in the world! Their eyes were huge. Percy did not remember having a kid. Chiron cleared his throat loudly. "Go back to your cabin's please… Everyone." The camp didn't move. "NOW!" Chiron yelled. That sent the camp groaning back to their beds, this was the coolest thing that had happened all summer!

"I think we should take this inside." Chiron said. Jason, Piper, and Leo stayed behind with Percy and Annabeth. The two were still frozen locked in stares with the girl sitting on the beach. Chiron rolled up so that he was beside Percy and Annabeth. The strange girl directed her gaze at Chiron. Finally someone who looked the way they should.

"What's going on?" the stranger asked. That snapped Annabeth out of her stupor.

"Did you say... mom?" Asked Annabeth. She gripped Percy's shoulder more. The girl still sat on the beach. Slowly she rose brushing off as much sand as she could.

"Very funny Aunt Piper… You can stop now." All eyes stared at Piper, she started shaking her head. "I didn't" Piper said. Heads snapped back to the stranger in front of them.

"AUNT?" Leo mouthed silently at Rachel. Rachel glared back. There was something about this girl, but Rachel could not put her finger on it.

The girl's smile started to fade. "You didn't?"

"No." Whispered Piper.

"I think I need to sit down." She said.

"Let's move this inside." Chiron wheeled himself around. "Bring her." He said to Clarisse and Chris.

"Uh, right." Chris said as he and Clarisse flanked her. They each grabbed one of her arms and hoisted her back up.

"Come on weirdo…" Clarisse said. The girl didn't protest, she let them drag her up on to her feet. This was all to crazy.

Percy stood and ruffled his hair. Grabbing for Annabeth he whispered in her ear. "When did we have a kid, Wise Girl?" Annabeth smacked him. "Shut it Seaweed Brain. She's delusional." She hoped. Percy could only shrug; he wasn't sure how to process everything that was happening.

Wearily the group started moving towards the path that took them up to the big house. Chiron and Leo were leading with Jason, Piper, Percy and Annabeth behind Clarisse, Chris and the girl. Percy kept his hand in Annabeth's, keeping an eye on this strange new comer. Her eyes were taking in the camp. 'Was she as some sort of… Alien? Ha' he thought to himself. 'Where is she from?' he countered. Shaking his head they were making their way past his cabin when the new comer started struggling. "Let me go!" She yelled. "This isn't, it's not right! Let me go."

"Stop struggling!" Clarisse shouted.

"LET – ME – GO!" Suddenly water shot out of the ground and formed hands to push Clarisse and Chris away.

"HOLY HERA!" Leo yelled.

"Percy did you…" Annabeth said pointing. Percy didn't know how to react. Posideon hasn't had… there's no way. All he could do was shake his head. The stranger took off towards his cabin.

"Come on!" Leo said running after her. The group could hear her yelling.

"Mom. Dad!" She started searching frantically. What was going on! The house only has two stories, where was the third floor? Where were the others? "Henry! Salamander! Where are you?" She ran into the house jolting to a stop, this was all wrong. Where was the dining room, Mom's office? Where was their kitchen and the stairs, they were all wrong! Running up them she searched hi and low for the other staircase, not finding it she ran back down only to come face to face with the group. They were standing their staring at her like she had lost her mind. And she was beginning to think she had.

Making a beeline for the bookcases she stopped. Where were the family pictures, mom and dad's wedding picture, and Salamander's soccer trophies? Her eyes paused on a single picture in a simple frame. "This is all wrong!" She said taking in the cabin. "What did you do!?" the girl glared at the group. Their heads just shook.

"Look I don't know who you are but…" Jason said, but he didn't finish the girl started talking to the ceiling.

"Alright Aunt Hazel! This isn't funny! I get it, you're mad but this is over kill!" She paused apparently waiting for some one to answer. Leo was staring at the ceiling. "What is she looking at?" Asked Leo. "SHH." Piper said hitting his shoulder.

The girl's face went from smiling to frowning. "Aunt Hazel?" She asked again, weaker this time.

"How do you know Hazel?" Asked Jason. The girl snapped her attention back to the group. Rachel gasped. "YOU! That's why you look so familiar" she said pointing at her. "I've seen you…"

The blood drained from the girls face. Her hand dropped from the bookcase with a crash, startled she bent down to pick up the picture frame. Turning it over she swallowed hard. It was the picture of her parents and Grover from their very first quest. She had heard the story so many times she had it memorized. This picture though was… it wasn't as faded. Gulping she didn't dare look up.

"Wha…" she croaked. Coughing she cleared her throat. "What year is it?" The group glanced at each other but it was Rachel who stepped towards her. "2012."

The last thing the girl saw were the smiling faces of her parents and Grover, before darkness engulfed her.
