This is my second story. I made this with my friend Michelle and her sister Melody (she requests to be called "Moldy Melon"). My first story is called "My Very Frustrating Life." Review!!! I'll continue if I get three reviews.

Disclaimer: I only own the characters that you don't know.

Meet Alex, Sam, and Jo

Alex POV: New York City, New York


 My name is Alexandra, but everybody calls me Alex. I am one of three triplets. My sisters are Samantha and Johanna, but everyone calls them Sam and Jo. We are nonidentical, but we can still tell what each other is thinking.

I have shoulder-length dark brown hair that is always shiny and perfect, and emerald green eyes. Sam has short blond curls and sparkling, strange amethyst-purple eyes, and Jo has extremely long, wavy, light brown hair and dark, sapphire-blue eyes.

Mother, father, and almost everyone we know calls us the "jewel sisters" because of our jewel-like eyes and our beautiful but cold appearances. My sisters and I are inhumanly beautiful, in our own ways, and we turn heads everywhere we go. I am told that I seem like the carefree beauty, Sam is supermodel-like, and Jo seems like the innocent cutie.

As if. Under my carefree, cheerful appearance, I am ruthless and always craving a good fight. Sam seems like the dumb blonde, but I know that she is the most cold, calculating, and conniving person that I have met- and will probably ever meet. And as for Jo, let's just say that she's our database for information. Basically, she's the reason we can do everything that we do.

Sam, Jo, and I each have a quality that makes us different from all other humans, besides our beauty. I can… imitate others' abilities. For example, if you were an awesome artist, I would be able to mimic your artistic ability and be able to draw and paint just as well as you could. However, I cannot take away your ability. That's Sam's ability.

Sam can turn you from a world-wide competition-winning artist into someone who can't draw a straight line. She will just take away your ability to draw. However, she can't use your ability like I can.

Jo is different from us. She can, well, know things. As in she can take a look at a complete stranger and know everything about him/her, from his/her favorite food to his/her deepest, darkest secrets. Jo is the one who tells us everything we need to know before a "mission."

"Alex!" A voice calls. "Alex! Wake up!"

I open my eyes to see a pair of dark blue eyes inches away from my face.

"Ahhh!" I yell. "Geez, Jo! Give me a break!"

Jo smiles and twirls a strand of her silky brown hair around her finger. She throws my clothes at me and walks out of my room. Sam's head pops into my room.

"Come on, Alex!" She says. "Hurry up!"

Groaning, I step out of my bed, still half-asleep. I walk into my personal bathroom and splash cold water onto my face. Instantly, I'm awake. I peer at myself in the mirror. Even though I have bags under my eyes and my hair is disheveled, I manage to look gorgeous, if I may say so myself.

In five quick minutes, my clothes are on, my hair is perfectly straight and smooth, and the bags under my eyes are gone. Sam barges into my green-themed room and sits on my bed.

"What do you want, Sam?" I ask, tired.

Sam studies my face for any blemishes, and then looks at my clothes.

"Perfect," She declares. "We're ready to go."

I roll my eyes and put on my slippers. Jo bursts into the room and sits next to Sam. She smiles deviously at me and flips her chocolate-y hair. Sam grins smugly at me.

"Did you guys ever hear of knocking?" I yell. "Apparently not."

"Well, whatever," Jo shrugs. "Mom wants us down. She's going to announce our vacation spot."

Every year, my family went somewhere foreign, and this year, mom and dad decided to keep it a secret until the day of the plane ride.

I picked up my already-ready carry-on bag and dragged my light green suitcase behind me. Sam had matching lavender suitcases, and Jo had blue ones.

As soon as we were on the ground floor, mom and dad hugged us and said simultaneously,

"We're going to Volterra, Italy!"

Artemis POV: Athens, Greece

My name is Artemis. I am one of three almost-identical triplets. My sister Athena is almost a complete copy of me, except she has curly hair, when I have straight hair. Athena (or Ena) has bright, all-knowing grey eyes, and I have dark, almost black eyes. Our other sister, Aphrodite, is completely different from us. She has golden blond hair and blue eyes.

Ena and I call Aphrodite Afro, and Aphrodite hates it. She is a bit stuck up. By a bit, I mean a lot. Ena is the smart one and I… I'm the prankster. Ena and I both have strange powers. I can control and call animals, while Ena always knows what to do in any situation.

"No!" I hear Aphrodite screaming on the ground floor. 'No! You can't do this!"

Ena's head pokes through the crack between my door and the doorframe. She motions for me to come. I follow her downstairs to where Afro was yelling at our parents.

"You can't!" Afro was screaming.

Aphrodite's normally perfect hair has tangled and messy, her eyes were red and teary, and she was on her knees. Even so, she manages to look beautiful.

Ena flips her phone open to check the time.

"What's up?" Ena asks casually.

Afro glares at her for a second, and then goes back to bawling her eyes out. This must be serious.

"Yeah, what's going on?" I ask cautiously.

"Well," Dad looks nervous. "Your mom and I are… getting divorced."

"WHAT?!" Ena and I scream at the same time.

Ena drops her brand new phone and it breaks into a million tiny pieces on the ground. If I were her, I would do the same thing.

Mom's thick Italian accent soothes us. Mom is Italian, but dad is Greek.

"Yes, my jewels, mio gioellos, we are getting divorced. You will come and live with me in Volterra, but you are allowed to visit your father here in Greece," Mom said.

For the next hour, Ena, Afro and I beg mom and dad to stay together here in Athens, our hometown, but they refuse to stay together.

Finally, we agree to go. Mom tells us to go to our rooms and start packing. This is going to be a long week.

Yay! Chapter one is finito! REVIEW, please. Sorry if I got the Italian part wrong; I'm not Italian. It was supposed to say 'my jewels'. Alex is ruthless and doesn't care much for plans, Sam is deceiving and tricky, and Jo is the one who lies to others for information. Ena is smart, Arty is the triplet with common sense, and Afro (heehee) is the stuck up girl.
