I look at the woman, my mother, confused. I knew I was adopted but a sibling as well! I can just handle my brother.
"Nice joke, mom." The boy frowned. The woman shook her head.
"Percy, this is no joke. She's your sister." He frowned at the woman again.
"Why didn't you tell me mom?" He sounded hurt. I didn't know what to do, I sat there awkwardly.
"Because Effie's father insisted we gave her up to adoption."
"My dad? Who is he?" I spoke up,curiously.
"Er, later." She mumbled. I wasn't liking my birth mum.
"Sally!" I heard a gruff voice yell.
"Oh, the joys" Percy mumbled sarcastically. Then I smelt something horrid.
"In a second dear!" The woman, my mother and I'm presuming Sally, called softly.
"Who's he?" I asked softly.
"Moms husband. Gabe." Percy mumbled, bitterly.
"Percy" Sally sighed. She walked to the kitchen, where 'gabe' was. I sighed.
"So? What's Gabe and Sally like?" I asked, trying to make conversation.
"Moms amazing. Gabe... Gabe is horrid" he sighed. He looked at me.
"Are you really my sister?" I nodded.
"I guess. I don't know my real family." He frowned slightly.
"I don't know my dad. Guess they both ditched mom." He mumbled.
"Don't think like that." I frowned.
"They could have had good reasons."
"My dad abandoned my- our mom when she was pregnant"
"Our mum and my dad put me up for adoption. He was doing the best for you like mum and my dad was doing the best for me." I smiled.
"Why do you say 'mum'? It's mom." He frowned. I giggled.
"I grew up in England for the past fourteen years. I say mum." I shrugged.
"But it's mom!" He huffed.
"Whatever, little man." I ruffled his hair, as if I've done it a thousand times. I heard a sharp yelp, Percy seemed not to.
"Er.. Mrs Ja-Mum? May I use the phone?" I asked softly, glancing around the flat.
"Oh yes, Persephone." She smiled, as if nothing happened. I frowned but walked to her. I smiled and phoned my house in London. I waited a few moments.
"Hello? Clara Jason speaking" my mum answered. I smiled.
"Hey, mum. It's me. Effie." She gasped.
"PERSEPHONE HELEN JACKSON! WHERE ARE YOU?!" She yelled down the phone, I guess my birth parents liked Zeus' kids, I mean Persephone and Helen of Troy where both daughter of Zeus.
"Mum, chill. Er... I just, I found my real mums address. It's in American and well I'm with her now." I explained.
"Put her on! Now" she snapped. I frowned.
"Er, she wants to talk to you" I mumbled and gave her the phone. Sally and mum. Or mum and not mum, talked in hushed tones. But I walked to the bedroom, I guess it was Percy's.
"Who's on the phone?" He asked curiously.
"My mum. She full named me." I frowned and sat next to him.
"And yelled." I added, frowning. Percy chuckled.
"Fail" he mumbled and took out his homework. I saw it and frowned. I was three years older then him yet I could never do that!
"What's that?" I frowned.
"Homework" he groaned.
"Don't look at me for help, ADHD and dyslexia."
"Same." He mumbled and frowned.
"Runs in the family, I guess." I smiled. Percy looked at me and hugged me. I didn't know what to do, but I hugged him back. He looked at me, his eyes meeting mine. He smiled and hugged me tighter.
"Why are you here? Right now?" He asked.
"I'm just here." I shrugged and kissed his forehead. Sally walked in, frowning at me.
"Your mom doesn't know you're here?"
"My er history teacher made my best friend take me here. For some reason." I gave her the letter mr Bruner said to give to my parents. She read it her eyes going wide.

Declaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson. Just Persephone.

Hey, this is the first of Ellie's chapters. Next chapter we will find our what the letter says. (*whispers* it's about her parents. Mostly her dad) OH! And Persephone may get a new nickname. Ellie and my friends, who where at school while I was in bed ill, said Effie reminded them of Effie trinket. So comment on a nickname. So far I have seph and Perry In the running.
