My name is piper McLean. I am a child of Aphrodite. I was listening to some music in my cabin. my phone rang. I got a text from Annabeth.

"haven't been a finned girl in a while coming 2 lake with hazel"

Annabeth, hazel and I were strange demigods. She was a daughter of Athena hazel was a daughter of pluto and, I was a daughter of Aphrodite. WHen we come in contact with water we turn into well mermaids. No one knows about our can be fun being a mermaid but dangerous as well. We haven't told any one yet. We try to keep each other out of danger. Especially Annabeth since she was dating a son of a SEA god. Sea = wet. She promised to be careful. I pretended not to worry. I mean who knew what Percy would do if he found out some of his best friends wer secretly mermaids. Even worse what about my boyfriend Jason son of Zeus.

I ran to the lake. Annabeth and hazel were already out there waiting. We smiled at each other. SInce the romans were staying at camp half blood for the summer we've gotten to hang out a lot. The water licked at our toes before we dove in. After a flourish of bubbles came the tail. My elegant blue tail matched Hazel and Annabeth's. We swan deeper into the lake. Even though it's supposed to be a fresh water lake,coral and saltwater fish swum around in it. It Must have been something magical. We swam among the fish. Clownfish hid in the anemone as we swum past our arms in a streamline position. The three of us were swimming around the fish. A lone canoe sat on top of the water casting a sudden dark shadow into the reef. The fish swum. We hid behind coral. I watched anxiously as the canoe anchored itself to the lake. I darted a glance at Annabeth. Her gray eyes peered at the boat. She was probably wondering who was on there. Hazel swum up. Annabeth and i followed her. I heard farmiliar voices.

"Jason they dove into the water and disappeared" Percy's voice said. well so Jason and Percy were there.

"are you sure Percy" Frank asked.

"Yeah"

" Okay so jump in there and see"

"okay"

Percy took off his shirt. His abs showed. Bubbles escaped from annbeth's mouth. I nudged her grinning. She punched my arm playfully.

"We'll come with you" Frank said.

"okay" Percy replied. HE was about to jump in. I was itching to leave. Annabeth was still straight Percy. Then he jumped in. I grabbed her arm and we torpedoed out of there before Percy could see her. After we dried off, Hazel started scolding annabeth.

"Annabeth he could have seen you" she yelled.

"Sorry okay"

" I sighed with exasperation. 'At least he didn't see her alright hazel let's look at the positive side"

Percy, jason and frank were docking the boat. Hazel paled.

"What are we supposed to tell them"

I don't know i said. I raked my mind for exuses. I ca't think of anything I hissed, nudging annbeth's arm. " give me a minute" she said.

"we don't have a minute i can give you a second though."

"piper where have you been" jason said putting his arm around my shoulders. I paled they were still wet. Hazel and annbabeth had gotten drops of water on them too. I ran to the water's edge and dove in with Hazel and Annabeth.

We swum to a deeper part.I could make out a human figure in the distance. It had to be percy. Annabeth was telliing us to go up. She sent me a message thourgh her mind.

When are we going to tell them?

I don't think we should

They'll find out soon enough

I think we should tell them. hazel sent.

She fanned herself even though sh couldn't really fan herself in the water.

I guess we could. I surrenderd

tommorow annabeth sent.

i swam uppp. I swam toward the was an empty spot around the dock. I swum up and beached myself. I used my bare hands to produce the heat i needed to turn back into human.

I helped annbeth and hazel get human again. Or as human as possible.

"come on" i said. "We need to be ready to get whooped by the boys"

I ran to my cabin pushing past a suprised percy and jason with annabeth. We seprated.. I slammed the aphrodite cabin door shut. I was breathing hard. I heard jason pounding ofn the door. I locked it. I sighed. I climnbed into my bed ignoring the streds.

"Lights out" I said miseably.
