Yes, the SECOND chapter…Go on…READ. My friend said if I don't update soon I'll lose readers so here it is.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, just the plot. Oh, and I also don't own the painting.

To those who asked me questions and have not received any PMs from me the answers are at the bottom.


-NICO-

Someone tapped me and asked, "Excuse me, Anubis?"

I turned around to see a girl about my age with long caramel hair with a blue streak on the left side and sapphire blue eyes starring at me.

The only thing I could say was, "huh…?"

The girl blinked at me as if she woke up from a trance. "Err…uh…sorry, wrong person…" she quickly turned around and whispered something to a boy with brown curly hair, eyes and skin. He stopped looking at the same painting as Annabeth then glanced at me then the girl then me again then the girl, this time he looked worried then whispered something to her then looked at me again. This time I was getting annoyed, really, really annoyed.

I don't like not knowing things…oh gods…I sound just like Annabeth.

Anyway, I couldn't hold it in anymore. So I said, "Would you STOP glancing at me!" I boomed "What are you whispering about? How I look? How she", I pointed at the girl, "thought I was a guy named Anubis? HUH? Oh now you might say I'm a D-mhhhmhmhmhhhh!" Percy, just in time, covered my mouth with his hand.

"Do NOT start shouting like that!" Percy hissed at me, to them, in his normal voice, he said "I'm sorry for my err…cousin's sudden outburst…He just has anger, violence and not-knowing- things issues. So I'm terribly sorry" He apologized. I've gotta say Percy has become better at thinking of excuses.

"ge yomph hmph oa mm mou!" I tried to say with Percy's hand over mine.

Percy didn't remove his hand yet so I had to resort to my last option: bite his hand.

"Yeow!" Percy cried while shaking his hand back and forth. That may be the worst experience my mouth has ever tasted in my whole life. [Yes, Percy your hand tasted that bad]. Imagine tasting something that hasn't been washed for a 2 whole days, can you imagine it? Great, if you do, good to if you don't (trust me you don't want to taste it) Anyway, add the taste of salt water, a dash of pepper (yeah pepper...I'm serious) a little bit sugary (blue cake I guess) and ugh…the worst one…the taste of the leather sweat-filled grip of his sword, Riptide.

Well, back to the story, they looked at us then at each other for awhile, like how I and Percy communicate without having to say anything.

"What do you mean by 'D-mhhhmhmhmhhhh'?" The girl, yeah, I still haven't learned her name yet, asked and squinted at us suspiciously.

She mimicked me perfectly I thought.

"Uh…" Percy looked nervously at Annabeth.

Annabeth stopped admiring the painting, rolled her eyes at us and then walked towards us. [It's true, you did. See, even Percy agrees with me].

"He meant Dyslexia. Percy," she pointed at Percy, "knows that when Nico," she pointed at me," tells people he's Dyslexic he'd freak and start blaming everyone…and I mean everyone." Annabeth explained thoroughly while nodding her head. I wonder if she forgot she can just use the "mist". Oh, I forgot you might not know what the mist is…I'll let Percy or Annabeth explain the next time they get the mic.

"Anger issues" Percy coughed. I elbowed him.

They looked at us with disbelieving eyes. Then things get even weirder.

"Let's go outside" The boy commanded us. Usually, I wouldn't have listened but this boy had this commanding aura to him. We all followed.

He led us to an alleyway and nodded at the girl. He faced us then slowly took out a sword out of thin air and the girl took out a curved ivory boomerang thingy and pointed it at us.

"Show your true self…DEMONS" she sneered.

-PERCY-

Okay, since Nico didn't bother to explain anything…me too, I'll let Annabeth do it. [Ow! What was that for Annabeth? Oh. Where did Nico

Stop?...okay, okay, yeesh]

Sorry for that, let's go back to the story.

"What do you mean by DEMONS?" Nico demanded.

"Stop joking and show your true selves" The boy ordered. Seriously, like what Nico said this dude has a really strong commanding aura…even stronger than any of the Ares kids or even the most commanding god there is. Okay, okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit…a lot…okay, I exaggerated on the "most commanding god" thingy.

"Why should we listen to you?" Annabeth countered.

The girl pointed her boomerang at us and whispered something that was too soft for us to hear. Then suddenly a glowing picture of a

on top of a lion and a bird with short wings appeared above our heads.

For a while I felt like I should tell them who we actually are, then I thought about my mom's delicious blue cake and it vanished. Just like that. When I glanced at Nico and Annabeth it looked like they were okay.

The girl's eyes widened. "Why won't it work Carter." She looked at the boy, who I finally found out that his name is Carter, worriedly.

"Maybe they aren't demons...maybe they're just normal they're descendants of that Roman ghost dude you met in Alexandria. Maybe they're a-YEOWW!" Carter stopped rambling about the possibilities of us being things when the girl stomped on his foot. Hard. How do I know? I could hear the crunch of something breaking and also because her combat boots looked really painful if you get stomped by it.

"Sorry about him. One of our trainees accidentally cast s-" she stopped abruptly. But not soon enough for us to not get even more suspicious.

"What do you mean by 'accidentally cast'?" Annabeth questioned her.

The girl cast a worried glanced at Carter. He hesitated but he nodded at her.

She inhaled and started to talk "I'm Sadie Kane and this is my brother, Carter Kane. We're Eg-"

"Hold on, you're SIBLINGS?" I exclaimed in disbelief.

Sadie grunted. "I take after our mom and he takes after our dad" She looked at us impatiently. "Well can I continue?" She tapped her foot impatiently. We nodded.

"We're Egyptian Magicians. We-"

"You're Egyptians? I thought there were only Greek and Roman…No offense though." Nico interrupted, unfazed by Sadie's glare. If I was in Nico's place I'd be cowering behind someone.

Well, there is a reason why he didn't get scared. When Nico was in the underworld he told me that nothing would scare him anymore because he saw his great granny naked. He still freaks a bit inside, waaay inside.

"May I continue without any interruptions?" Sadie stared menacingly at Nico and I. I nodded; Nico was frowning so I elbowed him to do the same. He glared at me but still did it.

"Carter and I are Egyptian Magicians." She glared at us as if daring us to interrupt her. Of course, we didn't interrupt her but Nico just glared back. "Anyway…" I didn't hear the rest because either it was too long or my ADHD kicked in.

After what seemed like a long time Sadie finished.

"What happened to Carter?" I asked.

"She just explained it seaweed brain" Annabeth whispered.

"Oh. So what did happen to him?" I whispered back.

"I'll tell you later. Just listen to what she says."

"Okay"

-ANNABETH-

Huh. Nico and Percy left me to do all the explaining. Wonderful.

Okay, I'll make this as simple as possible. Do you know the Greek Gods and goddesses? Well if you do then this would be easier but if you don't know you should ask your history teacher. Well, they exist. And we're demi-gods. The mist is the thing that messes with mortals' minds to make them think the things they want to. For example when a monster attacks a demi-god in public mortals might see a person attacking a kid or whatever fits in to there simple minds. As for the Egyptian things…that I'm not so sure about so I'll let Carter or Sadie do it.

Back to the story.

Sadie glared at Percy. "No wonder Annabeth calls you a Seaweed brain" she muttered. Nico snickered at this, which is very rare and even I haven't seen him snicker after Bianca died. Percy gave him his best death glare which wasn't much compared to Sadie's glare.

"So, what are you?" Carter asked as if this was a normal everyday routine.

"Is he okay already?" I asked Sadie while pointing at Carter.

Sadie looked at her watch. "Yup".

"Oh"

"So what are you guys then?" Carter repeated calmly.

"Humans." Percy replied calmly. Hmm, Percy has been practicing his lying skills.

"Yeah we know you're humans. But specifically what kind of humans?" Sadie asked, looking irritated.

"Well, Annabeth and I are Americans. Nico is half Italian half American." Percy replied.

Sadie sighed. Then she kneels beside Carter and whispers something and he nodded.

Then she said, "Okay, I have a set of questions…no, Carter you do it instead"

Carter rubbed his head. "How about tomorrow? I still feel dizzy from Felix's spell."

Sadie frowned. "Fine." Looking at us she said, "Meet us here tomorrow. Exact time exact place. Got it?" She declared.

"Sure" I answered.

Without any warning they vanished.
