Percy Jackson's Twin Sister

The Chariot Races

"Percy is my brother! Percy is my brother! Woo-hoo," says Tyson.

I gave Tyson my old bed under my brother and took my pen on the opposite side of the room. Strategically really because I assumed something like this would happen.

"Big guy, it's not that simple," I hear Percy say.

"Percy is my brother! Percy is my brother!" Says Tyson again.

"Never mind lets just go to sleep," says Percy.

"Ok brother," Tyson says laughing slightly.

I turn over to fall asleep but I end up laughing at Percy all night as he stirs in his bed while Tyson talks about being our brother.

"It is a new day campers, the first full day of my tenure as activities director. I suppose I could see the transition, but let's just rip tha bandage off quickly, shall we. There are going to many changes around here over the summer, but to commemorate the start of this years session, I have decided to reinstate the chariot races,"says Tantalus.

This actually sound fun if I'm being honest. Chariots means horses.

Now I realize that these races were discontinued some years ago due to technical problems," says Tantalus.

"Three deaths and twenty six mutilations," says a voice from the crowd.

"But I know you will all join me in welcoming the return of this camp tradition," says the director, "I've had the old chariots brought out from storage. Each cabin will fill a team consisting of a driver and a fighter."

My brother turns to me. "You wanna drove you my horse person," asks Percy.

What we've figured out is Percy seems to have the more water and earthquake part of our dads powers and I got horse. Don't get me wrong I can breath under was and do a little controlling small earthquakes and Percy can talk to horse but Percy can make giant hurricanes and I can summon stampedes of horses to my side. We did some experiments over the school year.

I didn't really want to do it. I kind of wanted Percy to do it with Tyson. I think back to Travis telling me to make my own decisions.

"I can you horses but I don't want to drive," i say.

"Really?" Says Percy surprised.

"I um- yes really. I want you to do it with Tyson," I say.

"Um ok," he says.

"Tyson buddy you want to be my fighter?" My brother asks.

"Yes brother, I will be your fighter," says Tyson.

I help my brother hook up two shire horses to the front of our chariot. I hear someone pull up behind us.

"Hey, Jackson, make sure you keep your eye on the track. Oh, I'm sorry I meant eyes," they say.

Percy and I turn away. Keeping our eyes on our horses.

"You are mad because I am monster. It is ok. I will be a good monster. Then you will not have to be mad," says Tyson.

"I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at Poseidon. I feel like he's trying to embarrass me. Like he's trying to compare us or something and I don't understand why." Says Percy.

"I'm not mad. I'm just worried. About camp and Grover," I say.

"Charioteers to the starting line!" Says Tantalus.

"Good luck," I say waving bye and heading to the viewing area.
