Flaming Waters (Heroes Of Olympus)

Chapter 1: Formal

I kneeled down and gave my sister a huge hug.

"Lily." I whispered.

"What?" She asked.

"I said Lily. You're name is Lily, not Honor."

A look of realization flashed in her eyes.

"I remember." She said. Her sweet little voice was just as I had remembered it.

I stood back up and looked around. Chiron, Leo, and Percy had confusion written all over their faces.

"Meet my sister, Lily." I said.

Leo's eyes widened. "You're...sister?"

I nodded. Chiron gave me a look that said, We need to talk.

Percy noticed the look that he gave me and offered to take Lily on a short walk while I have a chat with Chiron.

Leo got the hint, and walked off with Percy and Lily.

I turned around to face Chiron. We both walked into the Big House.

"Have a seat." Chiron gestured towards the chairs scattered around in the room.

He sat down in his human-formed wheelchair. "Who is this 'Lily'?" He asked.

I blinked. "My sister. I thought she was dead."

"Is it true that she is a daughter of Oceanus?" He asked.

"I-I don't know." I responded.

"If it's true.." He sighed, "I honestly have no ideas as to where we should place her. She could be a huge danger to the camp. I can't risk it."

"Maybe she could prove herself." I offered. "If she shows that she is good hearted and everything, could she stay here?"

"No," Chiron firmly responded. "The gods would not approve of a Titan child living in Camp Half-Blood."

"Maybe she could stay at our house?" I asked.

"Maybe." Chiron hesitated.

I watched as Chiron looked at my face, then my arms, then my legs. I had cuts everywhere, and I was bleeding severely in a couple places.

"You and the others should stay here for several days or so while you recover. For now, Lilly will stay with you and Percy in cabin three." He shook his head like he couldn't believe he was letting my little sister stay for a small amount of time. "Go wash up. Dinner is in an hour." Chiron said. He waved me out the door.

As I was stepping out of the large doors in the big house, I heard Chiron's voice again.

"Wait." He called.

I turned around.

"Don't forget, tomorrow night, there's going to be a formal dance in Dionysus' children's cabin." He winked at me.

I made a mental note of that, turned around, and walked out the door.
