Entry Two
I sighed, swirling my food around my plate with my fork.
I didn't eat breakfast, I lost my appetite for lunch, and now at dinner I was still feeling sick to my stomach.
I sighed, again.
A touch to the shoulder made me jump. I turned around thinking that it was a ghost of Dad's and Aunt Michaela's past, when in reality it was my Mother.
I sighed, relaxing I sat back down on my seat.
"I know I haven't been the best parent. Not like how Percy was, but I know when something's wrong." My Mom stated, with a concerned frown on her face.
"You're right. Dad was always there for me, and where have you been? He visited more than you, back before you became the Co-Balancer of The Universe. So, tell me what's the occasion that you came back for now?"
At some point in my speech, I had stood up. My Mom was looking hurt at my words. Good, I thought. She deserves it for what she did to Dad when I younger. She knew his past, but still stabbed him in the back (not literally)...
"You know Dad was there and he always had a way to make me happy. He spoiled me, like Dad's should. But, when I needed a MOTHER, I got Aunt Michaela my GODMOTHER. You never were there for me, why should I tell you what's wrong when I don't even know you?" I turned and left the dining pavilion.
Leaving behind my Mom, who was in tears.

I sniffled, as I cried into my pillow.
I couldn't take it anymore, knowing what happened to Dad and Aunt Michaela and them not being here.
I miss them. How they were always there, all I had to do was ask and they came. No complaints from them, either.
I faintly heard the door open and the sound of feet shuffling, but I was crying too much to pay it any attention.
"Amelia?" A quiet voice asked.
I continued to cry. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't stop crying.
I felt my bed sink down, and a hand rub my back. "Hey, Amelia. I'm sorry about Annabeth not being there for you. But, your pushing her away, just-" I cut off Piper, feeling so much anger.
"I JUST WANT MY DAD BACK!" I screamed, feeling all my anger drain away. "I just want him back. I m-mis-s h-him s-so m-much-ch."
I started crying again. I felt others come onto the bed, saying comforting words.
"Am, ask." Eric stated.
I looked at him, knowing he was talking about asking the book.
Ignoring Piper, Hazel, Luke, Felicity, and Eric, I dried my tears and got out of my bed. Crouching down, I reach under the bed and took the book that was placed on the underside of the bed.
I took it out and sat down on the bed with it open on my lap.
"Show me a happy moment between Dad and Aunt Michaela that no one has seen before." I said to the open book.
Nothing happened.
"Amelia..." Hazel tried.
"Amelia, what are you doing?" Luke asked, being blunt.
I open my mouth to reply, but had an idea instead. "Can you show me a happy moment between Dad and Aunt Michaela that no one has seen before?" I asked the book.
The whole room glowed, instead of words appearing the world went black.

The next time I could see, we (Piper, Hazel, Luke, Felicity, Eric, and I) were in the Throne Room's bedroom that Dad and Aunt Michaela had used.
I looked around confused as I don't see Dad or Aunt Michaela around.
"What did you do?" Piper asked me. Glancing around, Luke, and Hazel are looking at me expecting an answer with Piper.
Only Eric and Felicity understood what was happening as we saw something like this earlier.
"Well, I-" I was cut off by the double doors opening.
"-my fault? You can't blame me." The past Michaela was saying to my Dad, as they walked in.
"It worked?" Luke whispered in shock.
"Then whose fault was it?" My Dad asked. He walked towards the bed and collapsed on it. He groaned softly. "We are not doing that again." Dad stated with his eyes closed.
Aunt Michaela laughed. She took of her cloak before heading to the bathroom, braiding her hair (that flowed to the middle of her back) to the side.
"It was your idea." She called from the bathroom.
Dad sighed, sitting up. "Were you being honest about our talk earlier?" He asked, looking deep in thought.
We look to Piper, knowing she knew the both of them best.
She shook her head at our unasked question. "Amelia, you said a happy moment that no one knows. I don't know. I don't even know when we are."
"Of course." We jumped and stared at Michaela, who had appeared in the doorway of the bathroom.
Dad looked at her for the longest time. "What if I can't?"
I stared at Dad, wanting to know what he was talking about. I've seen him question himself before, but not with this much desperation in his voice.
Aunt Michaela smiled at Dad. "Percy." She sighed. "You're amazing. I'm happy just having the chance to be your sister. I'm actually really proud of you." She knelt in front of Dad.
"Percy, you're an amazing Father. Amelia loves you. Just be yourself." Aunt Michaela took Dad's hands in hers. "Amelia just wants someone there for her. She wants her Father there for her, be there." With one last reassuring smile, Aunt Michaela left the room.
I felt so confused, how was this the happy moment that no one knew about?
I felt a hand on my shoulder, as the world went dark again.
I opened my eyes to see the familiar sight of the Poseidon Cabin.
"Amelia..." Piper wiped the tears from my eyes, that I hadn't realize were falling.
"Why?" Was all I could get out.
Luke walked over to me and brought me to my bed. He knelt in front of me, taking my hands in his, like Aunt Michaela had done in the past.
"That was their happy moment, because you have made both Percy and Michaela happy. They love you, not loved. They will always love you."
I smiled, tears of happiness spilling out as I hugged Luke.
