Stephanie's POV:
"We made it." I said unhappily. It's not that I didn't like my adopted parents, just their obsessions. I ran the bell of the big house. Sharon my 'mom' opened the door.
"Stephanie! Your home! And you brought friends! Great come in!" She said cheerily. I walked in ready for…them. There they where the two huge great white shark models right in front of the door. It took all my strength not to run away.
"Ummm…th-these are my friends, P-Percy, Annabeth, Th-thalia, and N-N-Nico." I stammered unable to take my eyes off the things.
"Nice to meet you." They all said.
"We n-need a place t-to stay, temporarily." I tore my self away from their staring eyes and faced Sharon.
"Of course sweetie, you can stay in the basement. We just remodeled it." Uh-oh their basement used to be modeled like a forest, I loved it. Now they changed it to fit their shark obsession, wonderful. Sharon led us down stairs. It was worse than I imagined. Huge prehistoric shark jaws hung everywhere. They even put a huge tank down here with the horrid creatures swimming around in it.
"It's great!" I heard Percy the son of the sea god sigh. Sharon said dinner would be ready in about an hour and left.
"Well, isn't this great…" Nico said disappointed that it wasn't dark. I sat down on a bed that was put down there and closed my eyes. Percy was running around looking at all the shark stuff. I heard foot steps walk over.
"Steph…are you ok?" I heard Annabeth say
"Sure." I said my voice wavered though. Suddenly I heard a scream. I opened my eyes to see Annabeth standing on a bed with her hands over her eyes. I saw the smallest spider I've ever seen on the floor in front of her. I let it crawl on my hand and let it outside. Annabeth sat down again shuddering.
"That thing was huge!" she exclaimed
"Sure" I said closing my eyes again to block out the shakiness.
"Are you sure you're ok?" She inquired. I was saved from answering that by Mike my adopted father calling that dinner was ready. I ran up stairs away from the basement only to be met in the thin hall by my adopted sister, Hillary. Another obsession by my adopted parents.
"Oh? Well if it isn't the scaredy-cat Stephanie." She laughed. Then Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico came up.
"Wow, you have friends? Just as stupid as you are, probably." She was taunting me. Like she was trying to get me to fight her.
"What are you trying to prove Hillary?" I said coldly, suddenly I got a whiff of something it wasn't a monster, it was a demigod. Oh no.
Hillary ran to her room getting something. It was mascara, but when she opened it up a sword appeared. She began waving it around, taunting me.
"Ha ha, I can so be-"then she stopped. I turned to see my mom standing there with a necklace in her hand. It had two charms on it. One had two swords crossed on it; the other was a bow and arrow.
"These are made from moon silver; they will always be with you." She said handing them to me. I turned as she changed in to her true form. I put the necklace on and rubbed the swords charm. It changed into two long thin swords. Hillary stood there dumb founded. Then she stood up straighter, even though I was about five inches taller than her.
"Well I'm still better I'm a daughter of Aphrodite!" She yelled running at me. I dodged her easily. She recovered and charged. This time I jumped off the side of the wall and landed behind her. I pushed her down and unarmed her. I put one sword to her neck the other by my ear, ready to strike.
"Give up?"
"For now" She said unable to grasp the concept that I beat her. I let her up and she walked up stairs. I tapped the swords to the necklace and they changed back in to the charm. Turned around to walk up stairs and they were all looking at me.
"What?" I said. They all shrugged and walked up stairs. I was met with more sharks once I got up stairs, I love sharks…not. I ate dinner in silence, but I did notice Hillary looking at Nico and Percy. Annabeth and Thalia will be mad.
