Hey there! I feel bad about this prolonged update. Oh well...

I stomped up the stairs to Apartment 13 B hoping that Sadie and Nathan Barrow took the half-human news better than Kristen did. It wasn't likely but a girl could hope, right?

I waited for Arissa, the twins, and, Kristen to join me on the stairwell.

"I'll answer the door," Kristen said trying to gain authority. Arissa and I exchanged smirks.

We love scaring kids from the suburbs or the country. Their can be so gullible sometimes. Not all of them but still… It's all for the best because roughly half the stuff we say is true. Mostly.

"Don't. I will." Arissa said simply. Kristen gave her a wary look taking in her outfit.

Arissa's dark hair had bright blues streaks, her ears were double pierced with a hoop on the top of her left ear, and she was dressed in all black with dark eye shadow smudged behind her bright blue eyes. If she wasn't my best friend I'd probably be a little scared too.

"What are you looking at?" Arissa demanded her eyes flashing- a display of her amazing temper. I had an image of Clarisse La Rue daughter of Ares, yet another person we've forever, in my mind. I bit my lip to fight down the laughter forming.

Arissa flicked her gaze to me then sighed "Let out Luna,"

I giggled uncontrollably. "Was it really that funny?"

I nodded still shaking with laughter "You- you looked just like C-Clarisse!"

Arissa stuck out her tongue at me and rapt her knuckles on wooden door. From inside there was a little commotion; but soon enough the door opened a crack and woman's face poked out. Her skin was smooth like chocolate and her eyes were large.

"Hello?" she asked nervously, "What do you want?"

"I'd like to speak to Sadie and Nathan, please." Arissa said evenly.

"W-Why?" the lady stuttered.

"We're demi gods." Arissa explained simply.

The woman let go of her grip on the door. Her mouth was hanging open and her eyes were wide. It was surprising what that little word could do to someone who'd had kids with a god.

Behind her appeared two children. One was a slim, tall girl with curly dark brown hair and dark almost black eyes. She was about fourteen and I could almost feel the twins' eyes popping out of their heads. A boy trailed her, he looked a lot like her except his eyes were blank-looking brown and he was several heads shorter. He didn't seem to notice we were here at first. Suddenly I realized he was blind

"Mum? Who's this?" the girl asked protectively putting an arm around her little brother.

"T-They're…" the woman began.

"…demi gods." Arissa finished. Kristen looked displeased by this title but really who was she to complain? She was in this mess with us. Not by choice…but oh well.

"What?" The girl's eyebrows scrunched up together in confusion.

"You might want to sit down." I warned the girl.

"Sadie, Nathan. Take our guests to the kitchen, please." Their mother said returning from her trance. Sadie hesitantly nodded and ushered Nathan and our little group into the small but tidy kitchen.

We all sat diner-style chairs and waited for a nod from Ms. Barrow to begin. She nodded her head her eyes still wide.

"Um, Sadie. Nathan. Ever heard of the Greek god and goddess?" Arissa asked going for the straightforward approach.

Nathan didn't look up but spoke "Why?"

"They're real and you're children of two of them." Damon said quickly.

"What?" Sadie said sharply.

"You don't believe us do you?" Hero moaned his head in his hands.

"Why would she?" Kristen grumbled.

"No, no I believe you Jake told me." She explained, "I just didn't expect demi gods to show up on my door step."

"You know Jake?" we all ogled. Jake was the satyr who saved Andromeda from a giant deadly Chimera and brought her to Thalia and Nico with her loving yet crazy adoptive family.

"Yeah, he's at my school," she said cautiously.

"But…I…How?" Ms. Barrow sputtered.

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you, Mum." Nathan said sheepishly," We didn't know how you would take it…"

"It's okay. Will they have to g-go now?" Ms. Barrow said still flustered.

Damon and Hero both nodded. "To a camp. It's safe there. It's just for the summer."

"Yes, yes." Ms. Barrow said absently "Sadie pack you and your brother's things."

"Okay." She mumbled heading from the room. Nathan trailed after her a bit like a lost puppy.

I know action packed, no? I was sick and tired so this is a short chapter. Reviews are meds for a sick author!
