Chapter 4

Isabel's POV

It was a long drive to wherever it was we were going, but the two boys in the back, Connor and Travis, made it interesting when they dumped a random stash of ice down the back of Xena's shirt, and I had to hold her down after she punched both of the boys in the face. I turned to them. "Sorry, she has a short temper. But I guess you've figured that out by now." The taller one looked at me like he was planning what kind of prank they should pull on me. "Don't even think about it," I warned. But I did notice that the shorter one looked at me with something I couldn't quite understand… interest? Curiosity, The girl with the dirty-blond hair looked crazy; like she was ready to take on any challenge someone threw her way, if they even dared to.

The person that made me the most uneasy, though, was that girl Piper. She was the girl from the photo from my dream, and I knew that much. But instead of having just brown eyes, her eyes changed colors, like they couldn't decide on one. She had the same choppy brown hair with the random braids, too. She was pretty, but seemed fierce.

"So," Piper began, "Have there been any signs yet?" I looked at her while holding down a struggling, angry Xena. "Signs of what?"

"Signs of who your godly parent might be," she replied. Mason considered this. "Well, Xena's good at hot-wiring, and Isabel can throw really well, plus she has good aim." Piper nodded as he spoke. She looked like she was trying really hard to think, but just then, the van stopped. I realized with a start that the driver was covered in eyes, all over his body. I tried not to stare as we climbed out of the van, onto a hillside with a tall pine tree at the top.

"There's nothing here," I observed. Piper gave a small smile. "Oh, but that's where you're wrong."

"Hey, I bet I could beat all of your sorry little butts up the hill," the girl with dirty-blond hair said, talking quite fast. "I'm sure you could Nora, but that's not really our biggest problem right now," Piper said, clearly annoyed by the girl Nora's challenge.

"So, who's your parent?" I asked Piper, just out of curiosity. "Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty, and Lady of the Doves," she replied in a flat tone. Wow. She didn't really seem to act like the daughter of the love goddess, but I decided it was safer not to question it.

When we finally reached the top of the hill, my eyes widened at the sight below us. At the bottom of the hill was a huge camp. There were all kinds of different buildings, all unique. Piper began walking down the hill, toward a tall blue house with a wraparound porch.

When we were about halfway there though, Xena froze. "Xena?" I asked. "What's up?" The last thing she said was "The sky," before collapsing. I caught her before she could hit the ground. The others stopped, just noticing the situation. I also saw that a blonde boy, who stood a few feet away, stop to look.

"Xena?" I asked again. She wouldn't move. She was still breathing, which was good, so she was just unconscious. Suddenly, she straightened. Xena was standing up, but she still seemed to be unconscious. A spark lit up around her hands, and her eyes snapped open. What the heck was she doing?

Jason's POV

I was on my way to the Big House to talk with Chiron when I saw Piper and a group of kids all looking at a girl that seemed to be unconscious. Travis and Connor Stoll were laughing, but stopped when they realized that the girl passed out. Even Nora Carson, daughter of Nike, slowed down. There were two girls I had never seen before- one had curly, golden-blond hair and looked about fifteen. She held the unconscious girl, who looked about her age. She had short black hair that covered half of her closed right eye.

"Xena?" I heard the blonde girl ask urgently. She must've been talking to the girl in her arms, when the girl straightened.

What happened next was kind of a game-changer for me. Sparks flew up, becoming bolts around the girl. Her electric-blue eyes snapped open, and she yelped. Suddenly, the thick, swirling bolts around her stopped. The girl, Xena, froze. Everybody did. Piper moved first, kneeling down by Xena. The blonde girl and the others all followed.

Piper said, "Hail Xena…"

"Meyers," she said weakly. "Hail Xena Meyers, daughter of Zeus, Lord of the Skies."

-LINEBREAK-

Xena's POV

Whatever just happened, it freaked the crap out of me. And that girl, Piper, just called me a daughter of Zeus. My dad is Zeus!? I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I'm pretty sure he's the all-powerful king of gods or something. And I was his daughter?

I saw a blonde boy talking to Piper ungently about something. I walked over to Piper and spun her to face me. "What the HECK just happened!?" I half-yelled at her. The boy looked shocked about something. I noticed that he had a small scar on his lip, and he had electric-blue eyes like I did. (By the way, I know that Jason wears glasses, but I'm just gonna go with he's wearing contacts.)

"You were claimed," she replied quickly. Her eyes turned from hazel to a bluish-green color. "By my dad?" I asked. She nodded, but I noted that her eyes shone with understanding. This moment just had huge impact on me. For so many years, I had thought my father was dead, until my mother told me he wasn't, but that he had just left. But now…

"Take her straight to Chiron," Piper told the blonde boy. He nodded, and motioned for me to follow him.

As we walked, he said, "My name's Jason. I'm your half-brother."

BAM! IN YOUR FACE WORLD, IT'S ANOTHER ZEUS KID! Geez, he just can't keep that oath in his pants, can he? Well you better get yourself ready, because if thought that was a shocker, (Sorry terrible pun. I hate puns anyway…) you will probably die of mind-blowing for the ending of this book…

Anyways, I would really love you guys to leave a review for this story or the PJO/HoO AU story I want to write! Later!
