I OWN NOTHING

Chapter 4: Demigods to Goode

A few days later

The gods woke up that day not expecting a surprise the next day. This time it was Zeus who was the early riser and Hades the last one to rouse. They all made a mental note not to let their brother sleep that late again. They barely made it to class in time. When they got to class, they nearly got detention for coming in late. The entire class was bored out of their minds, even the gods! The weirdest thing was Percy he was jumping in his seat.

"How are you so happy?" Zeus asked

"A more important question is why?" Poseidon asked

"My girlfriend is visiting this weekend and something about a surprise" Poseidon was grumbling about Annabeth still not 100% agreed to the whole dating Athena's daughter thing "And there are new transferees here I met them from a summer camp I attend" he was extremely ecstatic "I'll introduce you to them after Algebra and maybe we could hang at lunch"

"Uh…Sure" Hades said hesitantly the three gods were looking at each other. They were curious on who was this friend from Camp. Then after a few minutes the bell rang. Time to find out then.

Percy led them to two familiar figures the gods couldn't make them out till they saw their faces. There were looking at them in shock. It was their children. It was Nico and Thalia.

"Hey guys these are my cousins" Percy said "Thalia and Nico di Angelo. Guys these are Matt, Mark and Mike Olympia"

"Hello" Hades said being the first to recover "I am Matthew" he offered his hand to Nico who was the closest

"Pleasure"

"Are you guys siblings?" Poseidon asked pretending to be curious Percy laughed. Nico and Thalia looked at each other then also started laughing Zeus however hit his forehead while Hades was shaking his head.

"What?" Poseidon asked innocently "they look like it especially with your clothes" then they looked at Nico and Thalia. Both were wearing somewhat a Punk Goth get up. Nico with his usual black shirt, jeans and a chain belt and instead of his aviator Jacket he has a leather one. Thalia was wearing a Green Day tee shirt and Jeans along with a jean jacket that ends at the base of her ribcage with bold silver letters at the back saying "GIRLZ RULE"

"Anyway we need to go to class what do you have next?"

"Foreign Language" Hades and Nico said

"I have Greek Mythology" Poseidon said

"Me too" Percy said then looked at Zeus and Thalia "how about you guys?"

"I have history" Thalia groaned

"Me too" Zeus said thinking of the opportunity to finally know more about his daughter

"Oh great" Thalia muttered making Percy and Nico laugh.

"Anyway we need to go see you guys at lunch" as the six went to their respective classes.

GREEK MYTHOLOGY (Percy's POV)

I was sitting in class with an empty seat beside me. I was thinking stuff at random. Like why were my cousins here? What's going on with Annabeth? And what's Tyson doing right now? I didn't even notice that someone sat beside me until he greeted me… it was Mark!

"Oh sorry hi" I said

"So how's your day?"

"Fine, yours?"

"Okay, I just hate the part that my sisters forced us into this" Mark said

"What happened to your parents?"

"Uh... They died a few years ago" he said hesitantly I just nodded

"What happened?"

"Um… war in Afghanistan" he said

I nodded. I know the feeling of loosing someone you love or someone close to you. You don't need the" I'm sorry" you just need someone to listen.

"What about yours?"

"My mom sells candy at Grand Central Station and you've met Paul my stepfather" I said

"What happened to your real father?" oh shoot I didn't see that one coming.

"Um… He and mom were never married. He travels a lot I got some letters from him every now and then" I said sadly. My father and I have the closest god and demigod relationship and we aren't even that close. He looked at me sadly like he can relate but there was something there too something unexpected. It looked almost like guilt.

"I'm Sorry I asked" he replied

"Nah, I'm good" I replied "I mean that's life. Jump over obstacles, make new friends and just have a great time" he grinned and I grinned back. Our conversation was cut short when the teacher entered.

Italian (Nico's POV)

Great! Just Great! I go to the Underworld to get away from Chiron who wanted me to go to school. Then I ran into Persephone who forcibly applied AND popped me to school. I mean why the hell what she there in the first place. It's FALL! So I got stuck going to Goode High School. I was placed as a freshman. Apparently I am smart enough to go as a freshman even at the age of thirteen. And Charon's help with the forgery works too. It was a class before lunch and I have Foreign Language. I picked Italian. Other than Greek this was one of my first languages because of my mom and my sister. The ones in the Lotus Casino were actually the ones who taught us to speak in English. And I thought it was in respect of my mother. I walked into the class. The teacher was already there along with the rest of the class. She knows I am the new student and insists on making me introduce myself before class started.

"Classe di buon mattino," she said "oggi abbiamo un nuovo studente, che si unirà a noi" then she motioned at me. I nodded at everyone. "Would you like to introduce yourself" she asked me.

"Ciao, voglio Nico Di Angelo" I said causing some shocked expressions from my classmates and my teacher.

"Si sa come parlare italiano?" the teacher asked

"Sì" I replied "Mia madre era in Italia"

"Molto bene poi prendere IL posto vuoto accanto al Matthew" she said motioning to the empty seat. I noticed the guy to be the one Percy introduced me to earlier. I took a seat beside him. Then we were both paying attention at class half way through he started a conversation.

"So how are you? Liking school so far" he asked

I shrugged "its okay I'd rather be at home. My stepmother forced me into this. It's weird actually I didn't expect her to be there. She's supposed to be on …Vacation. I went to dad's place and she was there. I don't even know where my dad is! Probably in another business thing with his brothers again"

"You don't live with your dad?" he asked curiously

"Not exactly, my dad …doesn't particularly like me around so… I travel around America" his frowned like it bothered him "I do go to his house every now and then. I usually stay at a camp that I go at summer. They let some of those with no other place to go to stay there even during the school year."

"So you and Percy are close?"

I smiled "Yeah, practically brothers" I was thinking of the summer before the battle with Kronos "they actually offered for me to stay at their place instead of going back to my stepmother. And for that I was thankful so I don't have to stand her tu…" man that almost slipped

"Tu?"

"T. another fit. Especially with my aunt who keeps telling me to eat" that was a close call. Well basically Percy and his mom offered to let me stay at their house since they don't want me to stay in the motel.

He nodded "I'm it'll get better"

I snickered "yeah right my stepmom hates me, my dad doesn't care and my sister is dead"

"I'm sorry" he said sadly

"Nah I got used to it that's life"

"Anyway you said you travel?" Matt said then we started talking about places around the world

Then the bell rang "come on lets go find the others" he said

History (Thalia's POV)

History. One of the most boring classes in the face of the earth, especially since it's the history of Ancient Greece.

Which I already know by heart. Beside me was Percy's friend Mike. It was basically silence and I even fell asleep when they discussed the Trojan War and Theseus. At some point I fell asleep. Why did Artemis ask me to come to school? Oh yeah to recruit some more hunters. We had lost a lot in the war. So we needed to recruit more and to regroup. So now Phoebe is the lieutenant while I wasn't around. And I got stuck to go to school here in New York. I was staying with Annabeth in her apartment in New York so it isn't all bad. I was practically dreaming, when Percy's friend Mike woke me up.

"Thalia the teacher's coming" he whispered I shot awake. Unfortunately the teacher saw me.

"Ah Ms. Grace" I scowled "finally back to the world of the living. Maybe you can answer my question"

"Who was Ariadne's lover and what did he defeat?" I rolled my eyes at this one it was who my cousin fought.

"Theseus and he was said to have fought the Minotaur" I said lazily. What they didn't know is that this was actually true.

The teacher turned red and returned to teaching.

"You like mythology?" Mike asked

"Yeah, my family is half Greek that's why we have such a big family"

"Nice" he said "so who's your favorite god or goddess?"

"Artemis." I said "she's the maiden goddess as well as the goddess of the hunt. Or Zeus since he is like the leader as well as the lord of the sky"

He just nodded. "So how did you meet Percy?"

"We met at camp and he's my cousin"

"He's your cousin?"

"Yeah, he's dad and mine are brothers"

"You're related to Paul?" he asked puzzled (A.N: it's fake of course)

"No his real dad" I said "he never told you that Paul is his stepdad?"

"No" he said "so have you met your dad?"

"I have but I don't talk to him much" I admitted "I spend most of my time with my sister"

"Where do you stay then?" he asked "Where are your parents?"

"I stay with Percy's girlfriend since I don't particularly like being with boys and I don't think I can stand being with those two in a house even with Percy's parents in the house." I said "Believe me I love them both like brothers but I don't think I can stand being in the same roof with them for a year"

"You don't like boys" he said then his expression dropped "so you're not comfortable talking to me?"

"Actually I don't know" I admitted there was something on him like when I talked to anyone in my cousins… "Did you know both your parents?"

"Yeah…" he said hesitantly "but they died I live with my brothers and our sisters forced us to go to school here"

"Why? They aren't in high school?"

"Let's just say that there's a big age difference"

I nodded big age differences like my other dead sibling. Seven years apart. I wonder what would have happened if he had lived. If mother didn't let him die.

"Hello…Thalia?" Mike asked waving his hand in front of my face back and forth.

"Oh sorry I must've dozed off" I said sheepishly then the bell rang

"Come on let's find Percy and the others" He said then he lead me to the Cafeteria for lunch

Third Person

All three groups to the Cafeteria. Nico and Hades were both talking about different places and cultures. Both seem to be having a blast. Percy was telling Poseidon about his time in the water park. While Zeus and Thalia were both trying to get to know more about each other. Just normal friend bonding. When they got to lunch Thalia dragged the two for a chat.

"Guys I think those three are demigods"

"What how?"

"When I was with Mike there was something familiar about him. Like when I'm around dad or around a god." Thalia said

"How sure are you?" Nico asked

"100%" Thalia said "What so you think we should do?"

They both looked at Percy "why are you both looking at me?"

"Well you are the "oldest"" Nico said with the air quotes

"Actually Nico I think that's you" Percy noted then thought for a moment "well we could always wait and see what happens"

"Great plan" Nico said sarcastically

"Actually it's just crazy enough to work" Thalia said

"Thanks... I think"

"No problem, Seaweed Brain" Thalia said as they returned to the table.

"Whatever Pinecone Face"

Weekend

The gods were at their apartment when they heard some people talking outside the door. They got curious and looked out the door. And in the hallway were Percy and Nico.

"Hey guys" Percy said "you live here?"

"Yeah" Hades said "Come on in"

"Nah we were going to visit my girlfriend and Thalia they live here" Percy said "want to come?"

"Sure" Zeus said "just wait for a moment"

They all changed and went to their apartment. Thalia and Annabeth were in the floor just above them. When they knocked on the door, Annabeth opened the door and was greeted by Percy's hug.

"Annie" he said lifting her up and spun her in a circle. The three gods looked a bit uncomfortable. Nico and Thalia however were used to it.

"Alright Perce put me down." She said then saw the gods "hello who are you?"

"Annabeth this is Matt, Mark and Mike Olympia they came from Italy" Percy said "they apparently live here"

"Ah you three are the new neighbors" she said "Come on in then"

YEY Im done with this chapter. The next one is going to be the day with Annie as well as a surprise. I just finished my history and trigonometry exam. We are having TLE tom so I don't exactly need to study :P so I finally finished this.
