Wisdom and Magic

Chapter 8- oh joy. a have PHSYCOPATH sisters

"he said he was my half brother. I don't have a half brother."

I stared at her for a minute, then I started laughing. She glared at me, "what!?" she asked

" we all have half siblings here. The gods don't exactly stick to one mortal at a time."

"well that would have been useful information BEFORE I attacked him."

"I still don't get why you attacked him" I said

"she doesn't exactly trust people," replied Caitlin

"fair enough"

" aren't you going to ask why?" asked Alii curiously

"nope. I'll tell you my story and if you want to, you can tell me yours, but you don't have to."

Then I told them everything. My dad never wanting to see me. The different schools, almost drowning. I told them about my so-called-disorder, and Carolyn. My only family member. We missed dinner and when Nico came back Alii apologized and so did I. Alii was still glaring at him. Though but I guess it was an improvement. They didn't tell me their story but that's all right, I guessed their story was more of a horror than mine, and I needed them to trust me, I had a feeling I would need them...

Annabeth's POV

  After dinner we discussed the prophecy in the rec-room.  Neither me or Percy said anything about my being pregnant, we wanted to wait a bit longer before we told, nobody else had any clue what the prophecy meant and I figured they could wait a bit longer.

Caitlin's POV

  I woke up to a blood curdling scream coming from directly below me.

I jumped off the bunk and landed quietly on the balls of my teeth. I knew  that the only way to wake her up was to shake her, but if I did that, she'd have worse nightmares later. I'd just have to wait until she stopped screaming. Nico woke up angrily," shut her up!" he snapped. I growled at him. "don't you DARE touch her!"

"she's having a nightmare!" he screamed "we have to wake her"

"you MORON!" I snapped back. "I think I know her better than you"

"then why are you letting her have s nightmare!?"

"because if I touch her it'll make things worse!!!" I screamed , then mumbled quietly "I would know."

"what?" he asked

" nothing. If you want to wake her, go ahead " I said stepping back. He put his hand on her shoulder and she immediately flicked her legs around, knocking him over and before he knew what hit him she was gone. She re-appeared on my bunk and hissed at him.

I stared at him pointedly  and climbed up beside her. We had both been abused as children, but she acted out more so she got the worst of it.She got meetings more often, and nightmares.

She started sobbing, leaning into my shoulder, "why did he touch me?!" she sobbed, " you know it scares me!"

  "shhh, it's ok, I told him not to, but apparently he's almost as stubborn as you."

Nico looked up at us flabbergasted. I glared at him and he looked at his feet sheepishly, soon he went back to bed and almost immediately fell asleep. I turned to Alii, "maybe we should tell him, he IS our brother. Plus you wake up screaming almost every-night. I think he deserves to know why."

"fine." replied Alii."but you have to tell him most of it."

"I can only tell him what I know." I replied. " a lot of things happens behind closed doors."

And on that note, we slept peacefully, and without dreams.

Nico's POV

I woke up to see two faces staring at me with wide, glaring green eyes

"what the-"

"no swearing," said Caitlin smirking at me.

"may I ask one question? WHY ARE YOU WATCHING ME SLEEP!?" I screamed

"well Caitlin figured we should tell you why I scream in my sleep, not that I care if you know."

" honestly I don't really care what kind of sleep disorder you have."

she stared at me for a minute then fell over laughing, "HA! sleep disorder! That's a good one." then as fast as lightening she was at my throat, "I am wanted in five states under 32 false names. You know nothing about me or my life" she was snarling and had me pressed against the wall. Caitlin snorted "braggart"

I stared at her, " I've only had 27 false names. I am wanted in more states than her though."

I stared at them both, my mouth hanging open, "why don't we sit down and talk"
