Evelyn
"Hello, you must be Evelyn" The man in the wheel-chair smiled kindly.
"Um...hi?" I stammered. Lynna gave me a nudge which prompted me to move in the house and move over for the others to get in.
"Hi, Caleb, Tim, Calli, Ely, and Lynn" The man with sea-green eyes greeted them.
"Hello Percy, Annabeth" Caleb, Tim, Calli, and Ely chorused.
"Hi, Dad, hi mom." Lynna added.
"Hello, I'm happy to meet you, Evelyn, I'm..." The woman turned and took my hand and shook it.
"You're Annabeth" I announced, stupidly.
"How do you know?" Annabeth smiled, warmly.
"Dreams" I muttered, blushing.
"Ah...the most common demigod mark, dreams" Annabeth nodded, understandingly.
"Mother, you're boring Evan to death with all your wise talking" Lynna complained.
Annabeth ruffled her daughter's hair and smiled at me "Really? Are you bored, Evan?" Annabeth winked at me.
"Um..." I laughed nervously. This is the mother that I always wanted, someone who adjusts to things easily.
"How old are you?" Percy asked.
"Fourteen in a week." Lynna and I replied automatically.
"Already past thirteen, the gods are breaking their promise again" Percy cursed.
"Percy" Annabeth lay a hand on his shoulder warningly.
"Ah...but I don't think the Olympians are breaking their promises, Perseus" The man in the wheel-chair started to rise, until the blanket covering his legs fell away but he continued rising above his legs until he towered over us.
Horse legs pulled out of the wheel-chair as the man stepped out, he turned and looked at me.
"So, Evelyn Jackson, how much do you know about your past?" The centaur asked.
Percy Jackson
"Percy" Annabeth called.
"Yeah" I answered.
"What are you doing, Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth asked.
"Thinking" I replied.
Annabeth looked horrified.
"The world is ending, Perseus Jackson is actually thinking!" She teased.
"Ha, ha, very funny" I replied, sarcastically.
"Chiron said that Lynn and the gang had complete their mission of saving Evelyn." Annabeth started slowly.
"And?"
"Chiron wants us to be in the big house when she arrive along with the rest of the Seven" She finished.
"Why?" I asked.
Annabeth smiled fondly "There's my Seaweed Brain asking stupid questions, he wants us to meet her of course."
"But I still don't get why the rest of the Seven have to be there, Nico, Hazel, and Frank is half-way across the U.S." I protested.
Annabeth stared at me "Are you that stupid, didn't you remember seeing Timmy and Ely this morning, if they're here why wouldn't their parents be here?"
"Oh" I muttered.
"Seaweed Brain" She murmured.
"C'mon let's go, I wanna be on time" I stood up.
Annabeth stared "Seaweed Brain want to be on time, is the world really ending?"
"No, I just want to meet the demigod that Chiron thinks is so special that the Seven need to meet her." I explained.
Annabeth nodded slowly and challenged "Race you there."
"What are we? Kids?" I called after her as we ran.
"Sometimes we are" Annabeth dashed past me.
"I whole-heartedly agreed" I muttered.
Annabeth Chase
When we entered the Big House, only Chiron was there and we were a few minutes late.
"Where's Evelyn and the guys?" I asked.
"Oh, they're a bit late and the rest of the Seven is in the Underword, helping Leo find some Stygian Iron, they will be here in twenty minutes" Chiron replied.
"Oh" I settled myself on a chair and tapped my fingers on the table.
Soon I heard a crash and I sighed, quickly opening the door. I saw a girl with black hair on the ground. Calli and Lynna was scrambling off the pegasus that must be Timmy and checking to see if she's okay.
Soon they ran to the big house with the girl jogging behind them.
I can't see her face from here but I can tell that she was very pretty.
Then Ely and Clover appeared and they talked for a second and Clover ran to the woods gagging.
Then Caleb swooped down and after a few minutes they started for the big house again.
"They are almost here" I reported and went to stand beside Chiron with Percy.
Percy Jackson
The new demigod stumbled across the threshold and stood there, gaping at me.
"Hello, you must be Evelyn" Chiron smiled.
"Um...hi?" She stammered and stepped aside for the others to get into the house.
I hid a snigger, this girl is worse than me with talking to strangers.
"Hi, Caleb, Tim, Calli, Ely, and Lynn" I greeted the gang happily.
"Hello Percy, Annabeth" They chroused while Lynna added "Hi dad, hi mom."
Annabeth step forward and took the girl's hand and shook it "Hello, I'm happy to meet you Evelyn, I'm..." She said.
"You're Annabeth" The girl announced.
I hid another smile, she's definitely worse than me with blurting out stupid things.
"How do you know" Annabeth smiled warmly although I can tell that she was amused.
"Dreams" The girl muttered turning red as she realize what she just did.
"Ah...the most common demigod mark, dreams" Annabeth nodded.
I groaned, there she goes.
"Mother, you're boring Evan to death with all your wise talking" Lynna complained.
Atta, girl. I thought pleased.
Annabeth ruffled Lynna's blond hair and smiled at Evan "Really? Are you bored, Evan?" Annabeth winked at her.
"Um..." She laughed nervously nervously.
Suddenly a thought occured to me. She looked older than thirteen.
"How old are you?" I asked.
"Fourteen in a week." Lynna and she replied automatically.
"Already past thirteen, the gods are breaking their promise again" I cursed.
"Percy" Annabeth lay a hand on my shoulder warningly.
"Ah...but I don't think the Olympians are breaking their promises, Perseus" Chiron started to rise from his wheel-chair. The girl's face turned to one of confusion then shock. I can relate, I was shocked when I first discovered that Mr. Brunner, my Latin teacher was actaully Chiron the centaur.
"So, Evelyn Jackson, how much do you know about your past?" Chiron asked.
Evelyn
"I...I...How would I know anything about my past, I'm a orphan for goodness sake and I lived in a foster home for all my life" I replied, irritated.
"You did?" The centaur raised an eyebrow.
I sighed, exasperated.
"Hey, you sound like Percy" Caleb suddenly said "Except smarter."
"Oh, thanks Caleb" Percy Jackson grunted.
"No problem" Caleb replied cheerfully.
"Boys" Annabeth, Calli, me and another voice I don't recognize muttered disapprovingly.
I turn around to find a beautiful woman standing there amused.
She have shoulder-lengthed brown hair braided with a feather. Sparkling, multi-colored eyes. She walked to me gracefully and studied me finally she smiled at me pleasantly and said "Hello, I'm Piper Mclean."
"Hi" I stammered, mesmerized by her eyes as I was by Caleb's. Wait, there's not that many multi-colored eyed humans in the world right? So this must be Caleb Grace's mother.
Now I get where Caleb's grace came from. No pun intended.
"Hi, what did we miss?" Another man bursted through the doorway.
"Not much, Leo" Annabeth called.
"Oh, thank goodness and I was worrying that I'll miss the demigod's arrival" The man-Leo?- sighed with relief.
"You did miss her arrival, dad" Calli smirked.
This is Calli's dad? She look nothing like him.
"Leo, calm" A woman stepped into the room and the lights seem to grow brighter and I can understand why. This woman is beautiful.
"Leo, introduce yourself you're making the new demigod nervous" She then scolded.
"Hello, I'm Leo the awesomest and this is my wife Calypso the beautiful" Leo announced, taking a bow.
Calypso blushed and muttered "Don't listen to him."
As I studied Calypso, I can see Calli's features in her's so she must be Calliope's mother.
"Are we late?" A blond man rushed in with breezes blowing behind him.
"Of course we are, Jason and it's all..." Piper glared at Leo.
"My fault" Leo finished, grinning sheepishly.
"Glad you actually admitted it" A dark skinned woman with long, curly chocolate-colored hair smiled.
"He did!?" A tall Asian man smirked.
"Oh hi, Evelyn, I'm Hazel Levesque, Timmy's mom, how are you today?" Hazel greeted me.
"Hi Evelyn, I'm Jason Grace" The blond man exclaimed.
"I'm Frank Zhang" The Asian man piped up.
So I figured that Frank and Hazel is Tim's parents, Jason and Piper are the Graces, Leo and Calypso is Calli's mom and dad, and...
"Argh...hate shadow-travelling" A satyr stumbled into the room.
"Good morning, G-man" Percy called from a squished corner.
The satyr-whose name I'm sure isn't G-man- groaned a greeting.
"Where's Nic?" He asked, gazing around the room.
"Right here" The shadow of the table quivered and deposited a man with shaggy black hair. " And I hate being called Nic" The man scowled as he pushed himself up.
"Are you allright dad" Elysium called.
"Sure" Ely's dad stood up and leaned against a chair casually.
"Whose this?" "Evelyn" "Argh...shadow-travelling is the worse nightmare..." "I'll kill you if you call me Nic one more time!"
My head started to throb.
"STOP" I shouted.
And everyone stopped and stared at me.
I had always been good at talking to crowds-not that I do it much though- so talking to no less than 16 is not a problem. I took a deep breath and said "Everyone be quiet and one by one introduce yourself" My voice sounded diffrent. Richer in tone, convincing.
Chiron, Frank, Hazel, and the others nodded.
All except Calypso, Calli, Caleb, Piper, and Jason. They frowned.
"I'm Nico di Angelo, son of Hades." "I'm Elysium di Angelo, son of Nico and Reyna di Angelo." Hm... the grandson of Hades with the name of Elysium?
"I'm Annabeth, daughter of Athena and this is Seaweed Brain" "A.k.a Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon" He added.
"I'm Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus"
"I'm Frank Zhang and she's Hazel"
On and on went the introduction until it was Piper's turn.
"Evelyn?" She said slowly.
"Did you realize what you just did?"
"Did what" I blinked.
Everyone was staring at Piper this time.
"You just charmspoken everyone in this room."
"She has charmspeak?" Chiron exclaimed "The gods and I have to have a little tallk about detail and honesty." He looked pissed off.
Annabeth gulped. "Is the world ending?" She asked, timidly "First Percy want to be on time, next Chiron wants to talk to the gods."
"Back to subject" Percy nudged Piper.
"Everyone do know what charmspeak is the symbol of right?" She continued.
Leo, Percy, Jason, and I shook our heads blankly.
"Charmspeak is the symbold of the children of Aphrodite, goddess of love, lady of the doves..."
