Cry of Hope

This is my new story. I'll still be writing Getting Farther but Closer and The Unforgotten, so don't worry.

This is the story of Kristen Jackson, the quarter blood daughter of Percy Jackson and Thalia Jackson nee Grace.

Chapter 1- Lie of the Century
I was helping Mom set the table for dinner. She had made fried chicken and biscuits. I was waiting for Dad to come home. I was also waiting for my little sister, Courtney to come home from her friend's house.

My name is Kristen Jackson. I am 15 years old and the daughter of Thalia and Percy Jackson. My little sister, Courtney Jackson is 6 years old starting today.

We were throwing Courtney a surprise party. I had asked my dad's first wife and my mom's best friend, Annabeth Castellan if Courtney could come over to play with her daughter, Melinda.

I heard a car pull up. Dad walked in carrying a cake. I had asked him to get a cake in the shape of a duck with pink and purple frosting.

" Hey, Kris. Thalia! Luke and Annabeth are going to be here in an hour with Melinda and Courtney!" He called.

" Ok. Courtney is having dinner with them anyway!" She called back.

" Kristen, put this cake in the fridge, please." I took the cake from my father and put it in the fridge without tripping. As usual, I spoke too soon. I tripped but Dad caught me before I could hit my head on the floor.

" Kristen, I swear you got this clumsiness from your father." My mother said, trying not to lsugh.

Dad and I glared at her. Her answering glare was even scarier.
