AN: Just so you guys know, it's gonna be hard for me to update often because of school and work, but I will try my best. There will be no certain day that I will post; I'll do it whenever I have a chapter ready. Thanks for Reading _

Oh and disclaimer: I don't own, this world all comes from the wonderful mind of Rick Riordan. I only own the plot and the OCs.

A Short Trip Into Crazy Land

Still Raynbow's POV

Shasta looked worried; he kept glancing around nervously like he expected something bad to happen. He took a deep breath, finally meeting my eyes. "Sooooo, Raynbow, you ever wonder who your mom is?" He asked in a nervous voice.

I stared at him blankly. "Uh…Yeah constantly. But what does that have to do with people growing plants out of nothing or me turning green like a freaking mood ring?!" I said, still kinda shocked.

Azalea looked like she wanted to protest about something I said, probably the whole sentence, knowing her, but Shasta shot her a look that said now is not the time. Melody patted my hand saying in a surprisingly gentle voice. "It has everything to do with that. Don't you find it a little weird how each of us knows only one parent…. She trailed off, looking at Azalea. "No, sorry. Has at least one parent we have never met? She corrected herself.

I stare at her, not comprehending. "No, I just thought having crappy parents was a common thing in America today."

Shasta looked like he was going to have a heart attack. He looked up at the sky, then glanced around again. I heard a howl, faintly, as if from a distance.

The sound seemed to have terrified Shasta. "Uh, I think we should go." He said. "It's not safe to talk right now, especially since three of you already know. " He shook his head, saying something about monsters and not having much time.

"Luckily the camp is only about 15 minutes away, and this satyr….. Erm... I mean boy just so happens to have a car….. Unfortunately I can't drive, so … Melody? How do you feel about driving?" HE said, while I thought did he say satyr? That's odd, but unfortunately I had something that I am absolutely terrified of. Melody and driving in the same sentence was enough to scare anyone.

Melody gave a smile that could have put the sun out of business, and I felt like I was going to sick again. But decided it was best not to say anything on that topic, besides I had a lot more I needed to say. "Whoa, hang on what camp are you talking about? And, did you say monsters? And WHAT in the WORLD is GOING ON! I took a deep breath, stopping my rant, as I looked at each one of my friends' faces. Every one of them was clearly shocked, and it was obvious that they were just as freaked out. Even Mel, who was never scared of anything, though she hid it better than the others.

"Okay, fine, let's go to this camp… but I better get a whole bucket of sprinkles for my cooperation. " I held my hand out.

"You want sprinkles now? We don't have any! It was Sherry who spoke this time. I looked at her closely, no purple flames, so I guess that's good… But God she is annoying sometimes. " Noooo," I said; "I want help up, I'm still a little dizzy.

Walking out to the parking lot, I knew immediately which one was Shasta's and I felt myself smiling. it was a smart car. He is really into preserving the environment, and I'm with him on that.

I could practically feel Melody's disappointment that it wasn't some awesome, fast car like she hoped. Then Sherry said "Oh, Come on, are we really going to drive in that! It's not even purple! We are going to be laughed at!

I rolled my eyes. "It's better for the environment, but we do have a problem, it only seats four people. There are five of us.

Melody's eyes lit up. "I have an idea"

As it turns out Melody's brilliant idea was to shove Sherry into the trunk while the rest of us sat in the seats. I guess Melody was having her revenge on Sherry for her sunglasses and ear buds. Who knew she was such an evil mastermind? Oh, right I did, being her best friend and all.

Melody was still complaining about her ear buds, but after a while, she fell silent. Then she said," You know, this will all make sense when we get there. Shasta only gave us the basics, but I gotta say it makes sense to me. He told us once we get there, it would be only a matter of time before we know who our parents are. Think about it, Rayn! Ill finally Know who my dad is, and you, your mom ".

As she talked her eyes shined. I know she has always wondered about her father, but her mom only told her that he was a great man, and that someday she would understand. My own father said my mom has a colorful personality. I don't know what he meant, and he never elaborated. Whenever I asked him why she didn't stay, he would always tell me she wasn't allowed to, as though something made her go away.

I pondered this for a while, the only sound being Shasta giving directions, and a still grumbling Sherry in the back.

Eventually, I saw hill, Half-Blood Hill, as Shasta called it. There was a single pine tree on it, with something glittering on the we got closer, I saw something huge wrapped around its trunk that shocked me.

And that my friend is the end of chapter 2. Not really my best and I know there are a lot of errors but I was typing this during photography class and I was trying to hurry. And no I clearly wasn't doing what I was supposed to, but at least I was doing something important (to me) but I doubt my teacher would agree. Thank you for reading!
