Back to New York

Persephone stared at everyone in confusion as they were behaving very strangely today. She couldn't understand just what was going on. This morning when she woke up with a splitting headache, she felt as if something was missing or perhaps a lot of things were missing. 

Looking at the lilac-colored walls of her room, she was feeling as if she was in the wrong place but if her home, her room was the wrong place then what was the real place? 

She woke up with a nightmare this morning, however much to her distress she didn't remember a single thing out of it. 

"Percy, how are you?" Carina asked her when she woke up. She was behaving as if she had gone to some battle. Just how much does this woman pretend? Glancing around the room, she found her half-sister, her half brother, her father, and of course her fiance. 

Persephone snatched her hand from Carina's hold. Since she was a step mother, shouldn't she behave like one?
