Sup My Lovely Readers! I know I kind of left you at a cliffhanger last time but…. I was kind of wishing for the suspense and I actually did have a hard time thinking of something to do with this chapter. I apologize if it's a little shorter than previous chapters but I really wanted to add in a chapter dedicated to Annabeth and Lily's interactions after Lily was claimed.
I am not an Author(yet) so I clearly do not own Percy Jackson or Harry Potter.
I would also like to thank my reviewers who have been ever so supportive of my story. Your reviews really do make me feel better when I can't find the will to write the next chapter. I think the only thing that got me to publish this weekend is you guys. I really hope I don't disappoint you like I did to all my viewers who had read 'Pain in an Imprint' before I deleted it. Thank you guys for believing in me and letting me know that you enjoyed the chapter.
Love from an infinity plus, Lib!
Chapter 5: A Typical Talk with Family.
After everyone had stopped bowing to Percy and I, all they did was stare. And stare, and stare. It got old quick. Real quick. One kid even had the nerve to come up and poke me. I don't exactly know why but I think it has something to do with Percy and I not 'suppose' to exist and they just wanted to know if we were real or not. Still weird but kind of understandable.
So, yeah. I ended up getting moved to cabin 1, (Oh yeah, I'm the bomb, who gets to be all trapped up in an empty cabin looking at a HUGE statue of my father!) and skipping the camp fire. I don't think I can get enough courage to go outside and see everyone looking at me. Huh, What kind of Gryffindor am I? Hiding inside just because I don't want to be stared at. Gods, It's just like the Heir of Slytherin all over again.
Just when I think I'm finally starting to belong somewhere that I'm not 'famous' for saving here I go getting separated from everyone else, again, over something I can't control. I mean, could I help that my mother gave her life for mine and ended up saving me from getting killed by the unmentionable curse? And how do I control who my father is? Am I supposed to travel back in time and magically tell my mother not to fall in love with a god?
I can't help but wish I had a different life. A life where I had both parents and I wasn't constantly getting put into danger because of some psycho wanting to kill me. But sadly I know that this is the life that I have. It's another thing I can't change. I'll always be Lillian Artemis Potter, the Daughter of Zeus, Legacy of Athena and always and forever The Girl Who Lived.
Finally drawing myself out of my thoughts, I plop myself in the corner of the cabin the farthest away from my fathers statue. Looking around the room I start to make up ideas on how I can decorate it. I come up with a cloud like theme with a hammock bed instead of an actual bed.
After finishing my decoration ideas I just lie back and look at the ceiling. It greatly recreates my mood. The ceiling above me is covered in grey clouds and has small bits of lightning shooting across it with small rumbles of thunder making an appearance seconds later. It's beautiful and for the first time in what feels like forever I start to feel myself relax.
Well, that was before there's a knock at the door. Sighing I drag myself up and across the room to the heavy marble door. Pulling it open I see Annabeth looking nervously at the floor in front of her. I smile slightly.
"You can come in if you want. I'm sure you won't be electrocuted if I give you permission." I say to the nervous girl in front of me.
She smiles lightly and steps into the room, her eyes immediately lighting up with a calculating gaze as she looks around at the blank room she had just stepped into. I smile; she has more ideas. Maybe we can swap ideas and make my room look killer. She goes ahead and makes herself at home in the middle of the room with me following slightly behind. I don't know if she's nervous because she's in the King of The Gods' cabin or if it's because we are related somehow but she looks like she just bathed in sweat before she got here.
"So um, we're family. I kind of just wanted you to know that my cabin will be here for you if you need us. We really would like to get to know you, if you want to that is? I'm sorry if I sound clingy but Athena's never had a legacy that is also a Demigod. I kind of don't know how to act." Annabeth says with difficulty.
"How about we act like sisters? I've always wanted siblings but since my parents- I mean my mother and stepfather died I didn't think I would get any." I say in a somewhat small voice.
She smiles sadly at me and nods her head in agreement.
"Ok, if we're going to be sisters, you should know that you had an elder sister and you should know our story." She says with a large amount of sadness in her eyes.
I nod at her to continue. And for the next hour I learn of all of the adventures of Thalia, Luke and Annabeth. Annabeth and I both comfort the other when we can't take it anymore and for the rest of the time we talk about what we can do with my cabin. It turns out I was right she had loads of ideas. Like a hanging chair with a wall desk and whole shelf of books. We both fall asleep, right there on the floor of my father's cabin. The last thought that passes through my mind is 'Now I have a family. A real family that shares blood with me.' This thought is shortly followed by 'I wonder how Percy is doing?'
