The Circus Act

New Brother

I sat down on my bed as tears streamed down my face, i was crying

I was holding the letter with such force that my knuckles were turning white, my tears wetting the paper until it was just a bunch of smudged ink

I dropped the letter as i let out a cry of despair, i thought back to what the letter said and a new tear joined the hundreds

'Dear Persephone

I know once you read this i will be dead, either from Greek monsters or a mortal so i have made this letter to be sent to you encase i never had the chance to tell you

Your real name is Persephone Avery Grayson and i adopted you when you were 3, i found you wandering around near a Circus and you were crying so i took you in

I later learned that your parents were acrobats but before i could tell them that i have their daughter they left town and i was left with you

I am sorry to say that your parents never came back after that day but they had a little boy named Richard Grayson who is your full blooded brother, he is a son of Posioden

They all live in a Circus called Haly's Circus and they grew to be famous by the name "The flying Graysons"

....'

I stopped reading after that, i sat on my bed with my knees up to my chest and i was crying hysterically

I heard a knock at the door but i just kept crying not being able to form words

The person knocked a few times but i still didn't answer i just kept crying

Soon my door was on the floor and a few worried demigods ran inside

I leaned into the touch of Annabeth and cried on her shoulder

She kept whispering calming words to me but i just cried into her shoulder

I heard Leo talk to Piper and Jason about the letter

I sniffed as i sat up, my face was red and puffy and my eyes were bloodshot from crying

"Are you okay?" I nod and look at Leo who is reading the letter

His face was changing to sad to shocked and then somehow both

"Whats wrong Kelp Head?" Thalia asked but i kept looking towards Leo who was reading the letter

Soon Thalia got the hint and ripped the letter out of his hands

Her face changed as she read the letter

"What does it say Thalia?" Pipes spoke up from Jason's side

"Sally" i mumbled i stood up

"Sally's dead and its saying that i have a full blooded brother" i spoke and i left the cabin heading towards the big house

I knocked on the door with an emotionless face as i glared it waiting for it to open

Once it opened i walked in not waiting for Chiron to say anything

"I need a solo quest" i spoke up and that snapped him out of his surprise

"Why is that my dear child?" I sighed, there is no point in being rude to Chiron he did nothing wrong

"I have a brother and i need to protect him from monsters" it was at that moment i realized that Mr D was in the room

"WHAT!? ANOTHER SEA SPAWN" He fumed and his face turned red from anger
