Olivia's POV:
I stared at the book that lay in front of me. I had been trying to read this page of the book for the past 5 minutes, the key word in this sentence being trying. I looked up from my page and could see that my friends weren't doing any better. "Ugh!" I looked over and saw Mo slam her math book in frustration.
"Still not getting it Mo?" I asked.
"Does me groaning not tell you anything? Math was easier before they threw the alphabet in there. What about you, how's the book coming along?"
"I can't! M and N get mixed up and B and D get mixed up, so mad becomes nab. The only thing I know is the page number, 12 or was it 21! Gah!" I threw my head into my hands with frustration, "I hate this whole being dyslexic thing!" I said into my hands. I felt a gentle rubbing on my back and turned to see Wen smiling at me, "Thanks Wen."
In case you were wondering we all have dyslexia and ADHD, which kinda explains the whole random song coming out of nowhere when we were in detention the day we first met. It's cause we couldn't keep still and one thing led to another. Along with me being dyslexic and having ADHD I was also a demigod. You know a child of God and Mortal. I'm a Greek demigod. Just as the others had given up on their homework, there was a noise from outside. Wen stood up first, "Did you guys hear that?" He said looking at the others. They all nodded in response.
I stood up beside him, "I'm gonna go check it out." I was hoping that it wasn't a monster coming to attack me. The mist could only hide so much. The others followed behind me, I opened the door to see my neighbours, The Fletchers, a family of five standing on my lawn, and they seemed to have dropped a flower pot or something. I knew something was wrong with them, and now I knew what was wrong with them, but I had to keep up the act. "Oh it's just my neighbours. Good Afternoon Mrs. Fletcher, is everything alright?"
"Lemonade Mouth" they all said at once.
"Uh yeah, I thought you knew I was in a band." Oh no, oh please no.
"Come with us." They all said together again. Mr. Fletcher coughed out smoke, now I knew we were in trouble. I started subtly fiddling with my hair taking out my sun shaped hair clip.
"What the..." said Charlie behind me.
"Look if it's all the same to you we'll stay here." Stella said.
"Then you leave us no choice." Suddenly they all started shaking and morphing into a hydra. The others started backing up, but I didn't move.
"Olivia, what are you doing? Get back!" Wen said to me.
"Trust me Wen. I know what I'm doing." That's when the first fire attack came, I dodged the attack and opened up my clip, it turned into a bow and arrow with a sheath full in my hand. I swung the sheath on my shoulder and ran up to the hydra. "Leave them alone!" I yelled.
"Olivia, what on earth is going on?" Wen yelled at me. Then our friend Justin came running up with his crutches.
"DANG IT!" He yelled.
"Justin!" I yelled. Justin over at me, but the quickly looked back at the Hydra, "Give them they're weapons, I've got this handled. GO!"
Wen's POV
Justin ran up to us. "Get inside, everybody get inside." We all finally got inside but I was watching the window carefully making sure Olivia was alright. "Gertrude, I have to Olivia and the others out of here."
"Oh, right. Just give me a minute Justin." She started shuffling around and grabbed a duffel bag and started putting some of Olivia's things in the bag.
"Grams, this really doesn't seem like the time to be packing!" I shouted.
"Oh yes it is dear. Olivia is always complaining about how uncomfortable her cabin is. Now do you kids want your homework?" She asked.
"GRAMS!" We all yelled.
"I'll take that as a no then, Justin why don't you give them their things." Grams said.
We all looked at Justin, who had started rifling through his pockets. He handed me a key and a golden watch. He gave Charlie a bronze coloured drumstick and pocket watch. He gave Stella a long sword shaped dangle earing and a gold ring. And he gave Mo a gold chain necklace with a big round pendant.
"What are these for?" Charlie asked.
"They're weapons. Look." He took Charlie's drumstick and pocket watch, squeezed the drumstick and twirled the pocket watch and they became a sword and shield. We all tried something similar until we were all armed with a weapon of some kind. Stella with a gold long sword and shield, Mo with a gold whip and shield and me with a sword and shield.
"Now we have to go help out Olivia. She can't take that hydra on by herself." By the time we had gotten outside the hydra was already shooting fire at us again. "WATCH OUT!" Justin screamed, and then he started to take off his pants.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, man! There are ladies around." By this time his pants were already off and he had...DONKEY LEGS!
"Why do you have donkey legs?" I asked/screamed.
"They aren't donkey legs!" I heard Olivia scream, while she continued shooting arrows at the hydra, "They're goat legs. He's a satyr." Justin nodded. He charged towards the hydra and started helping Olivia.
We all looked at each other and nodded, we charged at the thing at the same time. Mo lassoed the hydra's heads with her whip while Olivia shot the middle head, and Stella stabbed it right in the heart killing it instantly.
Stella's POV
This is so cool. I stabbed the beast right in the heart killing it instantly. "Well, now that this thing is dead, how do we get it off Olivia's lawn." I said. We all looked at each other and then looked at Olivia.
"Give it a second." She said not taking her eyes off the body of the beast. "Ha ha! It's gone." We all looked down to see nothing but a pile of dust and Mo's now limps whip.
"Where did that thing go?" I asked, to either Justin or Olivia.
"To Tartarus." Justin said plainly.
"You mean that never ending pit from Greek Myths?" Mo asked looking down at the shield and whip she held in her hands.
"The very same." Olivia answered this time.
"Great, now that, that is out of the way, what is going on?" Mo said trying to figure out how to put her things back together.
"We'll explain everything when we get to Camp. Grams!" Olivia said, calling for her grandma. Grams slowly came walking outside, "I have to go to camp. You know how it is."
"Good thing I was ready" she said grabbing the small duffel bag and walked over to Olivia.
"Gram, you're not coming with us, you know how this works." Olivia said going to help her grandmother.
"I know that, this isn't for me, it's for you. You're always complaining about those how dreary those cabins are so I packed a few things that will make them a little homier for you." Grams said handing her the bag. "Now you've got your picture of you and the band, you're rainbow comforter I know you love, you're song book, you're picture of your mom, oh and Ralphie the teddy bear."
"Gram!" Olivia whisper yelled. I couldn't help but let a small laugh escape my lips, "Okay you know what Stell, I've had him since I was born and I can't sleep without him, okay. Remember that I'm capable of shooting arrows." Olivia said waving her bow at me. I raised my hands in surrender. My little shy girl was hard core. It was kinda scary. "My Mom gave him to me."
I looked down at my feet ashamed; I know how much she cared about her mom. "Hey, I still sleep with a stuffed cat named Winks," Wen said smiling at Olivia.
Olivia mouthed a small Thank You that I'm pretty sure she thinks nobody saw, but everybody saw.
"Look we can discuss everyone's dirty secrets later, but right now I have to get all of you to New York and fast before you get attacked again. Hopefully not by something worse." Justin said
"Two things, one, we're in Arizona. How on earth are we supposed to get to New York? Two, there is something worse than that thing."
"Oh I can name a couple." Olivia said, "There's a fury, they live up to their name, then there are gorgons, rare to come by but it still happens, and let's not forget the Minotaur. I've run into a few small ones, but never a full grown. They're about as tall as the tree in my backyard."
"Okay that answers one thing, but how do we get to New York?" Charlie asked again.
"Let me handle that. Justin you can leave your pants off, I know how much you hate those things." Justin took a sigh of relief and threw the pants into a bush scaring off a squirrel. "Bye Gram." Olivia said hugging her Gram one last time. "You guys won't be seeing her for a while, so if you want to say goodbye, now's the time." Olivia said. We all went and hugged Grams goodbye.
"Wait, what about our families?" Mo asked.
"Already taken care of Mo. A letter is being sent out to your families right now. They should get it by the time we're at camp. Now let's go. You're gonna love it trust me." Olivia sang out a couple of notes and a golden chariot flew out of the sky. Olivia and Justin had gotten on and Olivia was talking to the driver like she was an old friend. "Everyone this is my sister Rachel. Hop on, she won't bite."
"Are you sure that's safe?" Mo asked reluctantly.
"Mo, I wouldn't make you get on if it wasn't."
Later that Day
Charlie's POV
"Thanks Rachel. I'll see you tomorrow, I'm gonna sleep in the Hermes cabin with the others until they get claimed." Olivia said hugging the girl. Rachel nodded and walked away putting the chariot in some kind of shed thing.
We walked into what looked like a field but that had people fighting with swords and bows and arrows. I stared at some of them as we walked by, and the people there stared at us in return. Either it was because we were new, or even they knew who Lemonade Mouth was. "That's Lemonade Mouth right? That's Olivia's band." I heard someone whisper to the left of me. So clearly it was the latter of the two.
"Where are we?" I asked confused, as usual.
"This is Camp Half Blood" Olivia answered.
"Half what?" Mo said as she put on her necklace.
"Half blood. You are all half gods, Greek gods to be exact. We don't know who you're parents are, and neither will you until you are claimed by your parents." Justin said.
"I have been claimed. I am a Daughter of Apollo." Olivia said
"Well that would explain why your good with every instrument, and how you love being in the sunlight." Wen said, "Oh and let's not forget you're amazing song writing." He finished smiling.
"Thank you." Olivia said shyly, while smiling up at Wen.
"Awww." Mo said clapping, "I see romance!" She sing songed while jumping up and down.
"I see a Daughter of Aphrodite" Stella muttered sort of loudly under her breath.
"I heard that." Mo sang glaring at Stella.
"You were supposed to." She sang back while exchanging the glare with Mo until both girls broke out in laughter.
"Now time for the tour." Olivia said.
Mo's POV
"Here's where everyone practises Archery." Justin said pointing to an area with Targets in a line with a person at each target.
"Olivia should like that." I said looking over her.
"Well it is actually a lot of fun." She said, than shooting an imaginary arrow at me. I faked being hurt in return and then grinned.
Just as I finished faking my death by arrow, a little girl with blonde hair and a little bow and arrow came running up to us. She was about Georgie's age, I bet Wen was missing the "squirt" already.
"So it is true!" the little girl said.
"What are you talking about Emily?" Olivia asked looking down at the girl.
"It's true that Lemonade Mouth is here. We all knew Olivia was in Lemonade Mouth, but we didn't know they were demigods until today. Rumours spread fast." Emily said.
"Great, I was trying to keep it a secret until I took you guys to Chiron, but I guess not. Okay, go back to practise Emily." Olivia said pushing Emily back to archery field.
"Fine." Emily ran back to her friends to tell them that it really was Lemonade Mouth that was at their camp.
"Sorry about her. Sometimes my little sister won't keep her mouth shut. She's very open." Olivia said.
"Wait, you're little sister? And that Rachel girl is your sister too," Wen said, "I thought you were an only child."
"So did I until a couple of years ago. Everyone in your cabin is your sibling. My cabins pretty full." Olivia said with a smile.
"Over there is the infirmary. Hopefully you won't be seeing that a lot, but that's what we say to everyone. Now over here are the cabins. This is the Zeus Cabin. Nobody really stays there cause there are only two known children of Zeus, one of them is a hunter of Artemis and the other is Roman so she is at Camp Jupiter." Justin said. We walked past that to another cabin that had a trident overtop the door and had a girl sitting inside the cabin. "This is the Poseidon Cabin. Home of the waterbenders." By this time the girl had come out of the cabin and had hit Justin, "OW! At least this time I didn't say fish and horse talkers."
"I know, I just wanted a reason to punch you." She looked over at us, "Oh I'm sorry, I'm Jesse Daughter of Poseidon. I think everyone at camp already knows who you are."
"Now as I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted, there are only two children of Poseidon, one of them is Percy Jackson, one of the three heroes of Olympus." Jesse had started to walk away by now. "And you've already met Jesse. Sorry about her, she has a really big head." Suddenly a dagger was thrown and missed Justin's head by two inches, "Who happens to be extremely beautiful and smart and has EXTREMELY good hearing!" Justin said cowering a little bit.
"Better!" I heard Jesse yell. I giggled to myself.
"So come this way."
Soon we had seen the entire camp and were put into the Hermes cabin until we were "claimed" like a prize at a fair. Olivia was going to stay with us until we were claimed. This is why I love her.
The Next Day
Wen's POV
I was at the archery pavilion practising my shot, I wanted to be good, not as good as Olivia, but good. Everyone had started staring at me. I was already used to the fact that people stare considering how much attention the band has gotten. I looked down to make sure that my arm guard was on correctly when I noticed that my skin had a purpleish glow to it.
"What the…" I said looking at myself.
