They all knew about demigods, yet they didn't who exactly was one.
Ever since the Gaea War the mist had disappeared allowing mortals to see children with weapons, monsters and a lot of unusual things. Most had come to accept the gods but were still unsure of the whole concept of demigods and obeying the immortals.
Most of the demigods had tried to keep their identities disclosed in hope they could continue a normal life, with no heed. In the end not even the strongest of demigods could keep their secrets.
Annabeth
Annabeth Chase was currently walking through one of the hallways in her school when she was suddenly slammed into a locker by a bunch of cheerleaders.
She wanted to use her demi-god strength so badly but she knew that no mist could hide it. She would be exposed.
Refraining from hurting anyone Annabeth kept her head down and kept walking until she heard a familiar voice from behind her, groaning inwardly she sighed waiting for the worst.
'Do you see her hair?' 'So dyed!'
'And that tan!' 'Tan Bed!'
'With those grey eyes, she would scare any man away' Annabeth heard the smirk behind the comment 'Just a dumb blonde, aren't you Annie?' snarled Jessica the head of the cheer-leading club.
Annabeth began to fist her fingers closing her eyes counting to ten. Just a mortal, Just a silly old mortal. Annabeth chanted trying to keep her cool.
She then opened her eyes turning around before smiling sweetly 'Better keep walking, wouldn't want to keep your boyfriend waiting, wait which was one that?' Annabeth asked her false-thinking 'The one you sleep with or the one you keep for show?' she said innocently.
Many were shocked. The corridor suddenly turning quiet.
Annabeth never spoke out, usually she would ignore them and walk ahead. Never looking anyone in the eyes but she had proven them wrong today. Was this the true Annabeth?
Jessica and her sidekick Tiara had both turned a blotchy red color; both staring at Annabeth in shock yet glaring furiously.
Annabeth however didn't falter she kept her gaze as if bored, she had faced much worse before.
Jessica clocked her way towards Annabeth before coming nose to nose 'I know you're afraid of me Annie, Don't deny it. You haven't faced what I have, haven't seen what I have. Your a lost cause, Dyslexic and ADHD? I'm not surprised your parents hate you' Jessica told her innocently.
Expecting Annabeth to mutter a sorry what Jessica and the rest of the school did not expect was her to speak again.
'Me? afraid of a skimpy slut like you? Id like to see you try. Stay away Jessica, You'll regret it.' Annabeth was scarily calm.
Something no had ever seen from her before. Nearly the whole school flinched in fear, but Jessica and Tiara were the first to compose.
'Listen here Annie. I'd watch my tongue if I were you, My parents are higher up in this world; My mum being a supermodel and dad an actor. Tiara's dad is a famous lawyer while her mum is a designer. I'd like to see you make of a remark of that!' Jessica said stupidly.
Annabeth had had it 'You think being the daughter of an actor or supermodel makes you upper class? Better than me? Do you even know who I am?'
Jessica scoffed 'Doubt your anyone important' Thunder cackled in the distance. As if warning the mortal to go on. Annabeth prayed to Athena silently, asking for her approval.
Thunder cackled louder. The mortals looked up the the ceiling in slight fear. They knew it was Zeus. Annabeth however felt the corners of her mouth twitching.
'Well then, let me re-introduce myself to you. Annabeth Chase Heroine of Olympus, Retriever of The Lightning Bolt, Escapee of The Underworld, Survivor of The Sea of Monsters, Barer of The Sky, Wanderer of The Labyrinth, Defeater of Titans, Defeater of Giants, Defeater of Arachne, Defeater of Gaea, Survivor of Tartarus.
Annabeth Chase Daughter of Athena. Greek Goddess of War, Wisdom and Battle Strategy' Annabeth told them smugly.
Her grey eyes were now seemingly alive, moving like wild storms and hurricanes. A gold light engulfed her while she spoke, when the light had diminished Annabeth stood there like a true Greek Warrior in her battle Armour and Greek clothing.
Her golden princess locks braided with gold and silver. Various weapons strapped to her holster, a circlet made solid gold owl feathers with rubies and sapphires adorned around head.
She seemed to be glowing; A blessing from Athena.
Jessica, Tiara and the rest of the school including the teachers who had come to see what the havoc was about were speechless.
The most unlikely person in the school was a demigod; Annabeth Chase at that.
It was unbelievable and yet at the same time awing. Annabeth's eyes calculated and analysed everyone.
'I am a demigod; Co-Leader of Camp Half Blood, second in command to my boyfriend Perseus Jackson son of Poseidon. I am the Official Architect of Olympus, so yes that does mean I have met all the Gods, Been on Olympus. My true identity isn't very pleasant is it?' Annabeth wasn't done.
'Extremely unpleasant when you find out the girl you've been taunting all year is Half-Goddess. Her mother one of the Olympians, Who's the one with influential parents now?' Annabeth growled.
Jessica was frightened never had she been stood up to; never by a demigod. She was a daughter of Athena for Zeus' sake!
'You're lying' she stuttered. Annabeth only raised an eyebrow 'Am I?'
She grabbed her knife from her holster before throwing it without a second thought.
Mortals gasped when the knife landed just above a young boy's head just barely missing him.
'Believe me now?' Annabeth asked coldly. Jessica nodded.
Annabeth smirked before walking out the school making her way back to camp sighing. But also smiling at knowledge she would never have to come back.
