The Daughter of The Sea

Chapter 1

Penelope pov

Remember how I said that I didn't have a good feeling about this? Well, I was right.

Literally, everyone hates me. (Except for the horses. They love me. As they should!)

The Duke never visits, the servants look at me as if they want me dead, Reynold framed me for stealing some stupid necklace and Derrick will believe anything that is spoken against me.

I miss Mom and Percy.

I am 14 now.

(Note: Things will happen a bit earlier
Percy is still 15 so the battle against Kronos hasn't happened yet)

Just a month is left for my birthday.

(So I realized that for this Penelope has to have a birthday.
So I thought for her birthday to be July 2nd. [EDITED ON - 21st Oct])

They will be hosting a banquet.

Ugh! I wish I could just celebrate my birthday quietly with Mom and Percy!
No! Smelly! Gabe! Allowed!

Mom always tried to save enough money so she could throw us a party to celebrate our birthdays.

But Smelly Gabe would end up gambling it away!

"You know that you're going to lose all the money! Why do you still bother?! Whats so good about gambling anyway?!" - Penelope

"Shut up!" - Gabe

"Kyaa!" - Penelope

"Get your filthy hands off my sister!" - Percy

"You wanna get hit too?!" - Gabe

"G-Gabe! They're just kids! Forgive them! Please!" - Sally 

It was always like this. He would hit me and Percy. And Mom had to intervene before it got out of hand.

Because of him we always had debts.

He never worked and Mom had to manage both her job and the housework.

I often asked her why she put up with him.

But she simply smiled and said that I would understand when I was older.

I still don't understand...

I wanted to grow up fast and be strong so that I could protect her from Smelly Gabe.

All my life, I was always protected by Mom and Percy....

I wanted to repay them. At least once.

Thats why I rushed to protect Mom from that creature.

I hope.... that Mom is okay... Percy too....

Percy pov

"Where is my sister?!" - Percy

Atlas laughed like a maniac.

I punched his face.

"Percy lets go!" - Annabeth

"I'll never tell you....!" - Atlas

"Three years...! Its been three years since I lost her!" - Percy

"Hehe...... Don't worry.... It'll soon become forever! Hahaha! You'll never be able to see her because she'll die soon enough! Hahahahah!" - Atlas

I would've punched him more if not for Annabeth who pulled me away from him.

Nearby Thalia and Luke's battle caught my attention.
