Kit
Kit's heart beat fast as she climbed onto the chariot. Caesar reminded her of someone she once knew… No! She thought sharply. I can't think about that! If only her friends knew what she was hiding… Kit patted the horses and said, "Ready to go, Butterscotch? You okay, Lightning?" The horses said, Of course we're fine! But that David's a nut job. Please never make us go through that experience ever again. Kit snorted. "Tell me about it…" She muttered. North looked at her strangely. "What?" "Nothing." she said. He stared at her curiously. "So… about that explanation?" North continued. Kit looked at Ember. "Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" Ember had chosen scissors while Kit had done paper. "Dang it! two out of three!" She pleaded. Ember shook her head. Kit sighed. She didn't want to do this. "Okay, so… let's start with the obvious. You guys are demigods." The boys gaped at her. "You-you mean one of our parents is a… god?" Caesar asked. "Yeah. You should be claimed at Camp Half-Blood today." "Camp what now?" North said with a confused face. "A sanctuary for demigods." Ember explained. Kit nodded. "We were sent out to find you guys. You see, it's dangerous for a demigod to be out and about in the mortal world. Believe it or not, there are monsters everywhere. And how old are you guys?" North and Caesar exchanged equally shocked expressions. "Fifteen." They answered in union. Ember raised her eyebrows. "The monsters usually start coming around thirteen… you should have been claimed by then." Caesar shrugged. "Who knows why. Guess we got lucky." Kit studied Caesar and North. "You guys are taking this better than most." She observed, fairly impressed. Many of the others had been hyperventilating by now. The boys still looked like a deer in the headlights, but Caesar answered. "Well, I've always felt like there was something more to myself… like a part of me was missing." "Same here." North added. "I always felt like I was different from other people." Kit glanced down and saw that they were heading straight for the clearing by Camp Half-Blood. She looked back at the other demigods. Then she did a major double take. "Holy Hera!" she yelled and pulled back on the pegasi's reins. Butterscotch and Lightning tried their best to slow down, but it wasn't working. Kit thought she was going to puke. She so didn't do air travel. "The lake!" Ember screamed. Kit guided the pegasi towards the lake. They landed with an enormous splash and Kit tumbled around in the water. She easily swam upwards and broke the surface. Then she noticed Will staring sternly at her. "Uh, hi." she smiled hopefully, and he gestured for her to swim over and climb out. She saw the others being tossed out by the (?) in the lake. Kit swam over to the shore and clambered out. "Okay, Will, I can explain-" That's when Will started laughing. Kit made a face. "What's so funny?" she asked. "I'm having major deja vu! This exact same thing happened when Annabeth brought back Jason, Piper, and Leo!" Kit smiled. "Annabeth told Ember about that once." Will stopped laughing and stared sternly at her again. "Well, I'm still mad at you for wrecking my chariot. Hey. where's Daniel?" Kit remembered that Daniel was a child of Apollo, which made him Will's half-brother. "Umm…" Her teammates chose that moment to walk up to the other demigods. "Ember, what did happen to Daniel?" she asked innocently. Ember shot death rays at Kit. "Oh, he must have been left at the school! How-unfortunate." Will looked confused. "Okay, I'll send a rescue party in a minute. Just please don't wreck anymore chariots." He walked away, probably to form a rescue party. "Well, that happened." Caesar said, dripping wet from head to toe. "Wait-why are you all dry?" He stared at Kit. "Oh, yeah. Knew I forgot something. I'm a child of Poseidon, the god of the sea. One of the upsides is that I stay dry in the water. Ember over there is a daughter of Hades." Kit cringed. She probably shouldn't have said that. Ember was super sensitive when it came to her dad. Caesar looked at Ember. "Your dad's the god of… death?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Kit knew he would regret them. Ember had reflexes like lightning. She grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulled a sword out of nowhere, and rested the point at his throat. "Don't talk about that. Never talk about that or I will kill you. Am I clear?"
