Percy's POV
" Why in Hades name did that thing call you Jackson like it was your last name or something!?" I yelled extremely confused by the turn of events. The seven of them looked at each other with raised eye brows.
" He called you Jackson in front of them?" Questioned the girl with purple eyes. One of the streak haired girls nodded.
" Crap!" Yelled the blond haired dude. They huddled in a circle and stared whispering franticly. All I caught was, "Bus" " Now we have to tell them" and, " Your mom is hot!" Then I saw the two streak haired girls glare at the blond dude and both smack him in the head. After that they turned and faced us and the purple eyed girl stepped forward.
" Alright we will explain everything just not here, okay? We can't all fit in your car Nico so we are gonna have to take a bus and walk the rest of the way there. Is that fine by you guys?" She said holding her hands out. That sounded fine by me so I nodded. Nico didn't look satisfied.
" How did you know my-" She held up her hand cutting him off.
" Bus now," She pointed at a bus that had just pulled up with very little passengers on it, " Questions later." Nico grumbled and pulled the keys out of his pocket. He pressed the lock button on the key and the car beeped twice then turned to black goop and sunk through the pavement. I guess he doesn't have to pay for parking métiers in the underworld. We all boarded the bus and sat in the back, Nico and Thalia sat on my left and Annabeth on my right. The other seven sat next to each other, the girls on one side of the isle and boys on the other.
" So-" I tried but was shushed by the boy with green hair. They wouldn't talk until the bus had started and was going and until they had made sure there were no monsters.
" Now, ask your questions." One of them said quietly. I was about to ask why that monster called her by my last name but Annabeth beat me to it.
" Who are you people and how do you know us?" She asked. The girl with streaks sighed.
" Of course she asks the one question I don't want her to ask," The girl sighed again and scooted forward in her chair so she could see us better, " I'm Kiley Jackson and this is my twin sister Erin." Erin gave us a small wave then sat back and closed her eyes.
" I'm Brennion di Angelo," Said one of the boys in black, " And this is my twin brother Nathan."
" Call me Nate." He said tucking his black hair under a black Incubus hat that he pulled out of his back pack.
" Amber Stoll at your service," Said the smiling blonde girl, " Though I can't do much."
" You can too Amber," The tall blonde dude said flashing her a smile, " I'm Den Raney Rodriguez, nice to meet you…again."
" And I'm," Started the green haired boy, " Ronny Underwood and yes my hair is naturally this color so don't ask." They looked at us and waited for our reaction only I couldn't speak. My mind was moving too fast for my tongue too comprehend. They had each said a last name from someone we knew, were they toying with us? This had to be a joke, I mean I don't have any sisters or cousins so why are these girls introducing themselves with MY last name!
" Inconceivable! I don't have any brothers! Your all liars! LIARS!!!" Nico yelled so loud the whole bus including the driver looked at us.
" Nico shhhh," Thalia said covering his mouth, " I don't want to get kicked off the bus because of you."
" It's happened before." Nate mumbled from under his cap.
" I remember that." Erin said not opening her eyes but smiled.
" What are you guys talking about and how in Hades name do you guys have the same last name as us!" I snapped.
" Stop asking more questions than we can answer at one time!" Amber yelled exasperated.
" Yeah the multiple questions are getting annoying so why don't I just explain everything first then you can ask questions okay," Kiley said sitting back and laying her head on her sisters shoulder, " Okay well we have the same last names because we got it from our dads, like most kids. Our dad's name is Percy Jackson that's how we got Jackson. Brennion and Nate's dad is Nico di Angelo, Amber's is Travis Stoll, Den Raney's is Chris Rodriguez, and Ronny's is Grover Underwood. Our mother's names are; Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, Clarisse la Rue, Katie Gardener, and Juniper the nymph. Ah, that's why Ronny has lime green hair and lime green eyes. We introduced ourselves with your last names because you four are our parents… well not all our parents obviously but mine, Erin's, Brennion's and Nates." She didn't make eye contact with us the whole time she spoke.
" You two," Brennion pointed at me and Annabeth, " Are Kiley and Erin's mom and dad and you two are Nate's and my mom and dad." After he said that they went silent and waited for our reaction. I couldn't do anything but laugh. Annabeth's mouth hung open so wide it was bigger than the tunnel we were driving through. Nico and Thalia were following my lead and laughing their heads off. What else could you do if a bunch of kids you have never met once in your life show up and say you're their mom and dad?
" You see this is why I didn't want to tell them, they don't believe us!" Kiley yelled as she shot back up in her seat to stare at Brennion.
" There as nothing else we could do! What did you think would happen when that Shadow said you last name in front of them? That it would be fine and dandy and they wouldn't ask?" Brennion said a bit angrily. Kiley held her intense stair for a moment then her eyes saddened and she slumped down into her seat.
" I don't know Brennion I just hoped it would work out better than this but I knew they wouldn't except us." She stared at her feat while she spoke and I think I saw a shed tear but I must have been mistaken, why would a stranger cry over us not believing them. Brennion got up and sat next to Kiley and put and arm around her shoulders. She laced her fingers through his hand hanging on her forearm and rested her head on his shoulder. Okay I didn't see that coming. Amber had been observing us the whole time until she couldn't take it anymore and stood up glaring at us.
"Whether you guys want to believe it or not you ARE their parents! And if you grow up and stop laughing for just a second we'll tell you how that's possible!" She yelled before slamming her self back down in her seat and folding her arms.
" But its not that's just it! You guys are like 15 or 16 right? That would make it impossible for you to be our kids!" Annabeth finally spoke in the fifth teen minutes we had been here. Erin opened her eyes and gave us a blank stare.
" Kiley, Brennion, Nate, and myself are seventeen and the others are sixteen. And the truth is we are not from this time but from the future." Erin said before closing her eyes again.
" The future? As in you were brought back in time? Please you expect us to believe that, come up with a better story." I said folding my arms across my chest. This time it was Den Raney that glared at me…weird it kinnda reminded me of when Clarisse glares at me. Creepy.
" Grow up Percy! Who controls time you idiot!? Don't you think that person has the power to reverse time and bring us back here!? " He yelled holding his hands out like he expected something. I didn't get what he was saying but apparently Annabeth did because I heard her gasp.
" Kronos." She said so quietly that only I could hear her. Kronos! Duh why didn't I think of that! Of course he could do that but then if they were telling the truth that would mean he has reformed.
" Your saying Kronos brought you back in time!?" I yelled.
" No not exactly…" Nate said trailing off. They all seemed extremely interested in their shoes after that.
" Then what are you saying?" Thalia questioned scooting to the edge of her seat.
" It was Lyle Castilian that brought us here Luke Castilian's son." Ronny said quietly but there was a lot of hostility in his voice. Luke's son!? Luke doesn't have a son or we would know it! What is it with these people they have a sick sense of humor. Both Annabeth and Thalia looked like they were going to be sick and Nico looked confused.
" Luke doesn't have a son and even if he did then there is no way a descendent of Hermes could control time." Annabeth said through grit teeth. Erin and Kiley gave her a sympathetic look.
" Your mistaken," Kiley said, " Luke sired a child while Kronos was inside of him thus giving the child the power to control time. Lyle was and is Kronos ultimate weapon. Kronos was positive he was going to defeat you guys last year but he had a back up plan just in case it didn't work. He used Luke's body to sire the child then froze the boy in time and enchanted his sleep to last only until something of significant importance happens. That important thing happen to be Erin and my birth. We are the same age as Lyle because of that fact and because my parents are the great hero's of Olympus he holds a grudge against us and you. He seeks to destroy us and to pick up right where Kronos left off. He…he wants to kill our parents. He wants to kill you." She finished giving Annabeth and myself a strange look. Oh great a power hungry descendent of Kronos just what I need.
" So what? Are we supposed to kill him to safe the world or something?" Nico asked. They all shook their heads.
" You are to do nothing. None of you. Stay as far away from Lyle and his Shadow warriors as you can. None of this is your burden to bear but ours. The only reason we are here and coming to camp with you is because we are selfish." Amber mumbled.
" Selfish?" Annabeth asked. They nodded.
" Yes selfish. We had to see you guys because we missed you so much. I missed you and I couldn't be here without at least saying that I love you more than you can imagine and I…well we are coming with you to see our parents. Only these guys need to come to camp to see theirs." Erin said looking at Annabeth and I the whole time.
" Last stop, all passengers off." The bus man's voice sounded through the speakers cutting into our conversation.
" Alright lets go but Erin and Kiley I'm not done with you two." Annabeth said standing up. I followed her lead and so did the others. We got off the bus and coughed as it drove away. I found myself looking at my two supposed daughters. Geeze what a weird day.
