Chapter 10

"By March of 2035, only America still stood."

January 15, 2017

Before he could continue Annabeth chirped up, "You're from the future, aren't you." Lukas looked surprised for a moment before slowly nodding. A few gasps were heard. She continued with her guesses, "Lukas, are you mine and Percy's future child?" Percy looked at Annabeth startled, Wha-" he stopped when he saw them looking into each other eyes. Lukas sighed, "I forgot how smart you were. Yes, my name is Lukas Ethan Jackson. Son of Percy and Annabeth Jackson. Born July 28, 2017." At this information, everyone gasped and stared at Percy who was gaping at Lukas and Annabeth. Had it been any other time, someone would have made a joke that Percy looked like a fish out of water.

"Yo-you're joking right!" Percy was freaking out. "No, sorry… Dad." Lukas said laughing. Maria glared at Lukas, "Stop freaking them out. This is going to be hard enough without calling them mom or dad right away." Lukas looked to Percy, "Sorry. I can't imagine how crazy this sounds."

"This isn't crazy, this is insane." Percy looked to Annabeth for help but found none. Chiron decided to speak up, "They are not lying. Please try to keep an open mind as everyone introduces themselves." The campers nodded and stared at the others. They were all thinking similar thoughts, are one of these kids mine.

Lukas stepped forward, "First I would like to say that most of us have siblings that aren't here yet. You will get to know them later on."

He stepped back and let Lily step forward. "Hi everyone, my name is Lily Brooke Grace, but most people call me Storm. You saw why earlier. I'm the daughter of Piper and Jason Grace. Born September 5, 2020." Piper and Jason stared and then looked back at each other, then looked back at Lily again. Piper and Jason smiled, though if anyone looked closely at Jason, they would have seen his eyes had happy tears wanting to come out.

Softly Jason said, "We will have a little girl, Piper." He pulled Piper close to him and kissed the top of her head. He kept his arm around her and his head on hers when Lily stepped back and Clarissa and Chris tapped forward.

Chris spoke first, "Hi, I'm the first born. My name is Christian Alexander Rodriquez, most people call me Alex so as to not confuse me with my father. I am born November 10, 2017."

Clarissa stepped in, "My name is Clarissa Rose Rodriguez or Clari for short. I will be born January 25, 2019. We are the children of Clarisse and Chris Rodriquez." Everyone looked from Clarisse and Chris to their kids, gaping at how small they looked compared to the usual children of Ares. They take after their mother in the face, but their father everywhere else. Both children stepped back.

Kai stepped forward next, "H-hi. My name is Kai Mathews Zhang. I will be born April 1, 2020. You've probably figured out by the shapeshifting and my looks that I'm the son of Hazel and Frank Zhang." He stepped back as well, as Hazel and Frank smiled sweetly at each other. They thought he looked like a kind young man.

Now Maria and Mitchell stepped forward. Everyone looked at them trying to figure it out. What came next, was something that they were not expecting. Mitchell spoke first, "Look, this will be even more strange and harder to believe than just us being from the future." He took a deep breath and looked at his sister. "We- we weren't- we didn't exactly- we don't have-" Maria stepped in, "What my brother means to say is that we weren't born. We were created by the gods as a thank you present for our parents, who could not biologically have kids. We don't have a mom and a dad. We have- I mean we had a dad and a father."

Everyone gasped. "I thought that creating humans was outlawed, though," Annabeth said. "The gods made an exception for the two of us," Mitchell said.

Maria jumped back into the talk, "My name is Bianca Maria Solace di Angelo. Daughter of Will and Nico di Angelo." Will and Nico's jaws fell open. "My brothers' name is Mitchell Lee Solace di Angelo. We were created on July 3, 2020. Because our last name is angel in Italian, most people call us 'The Twin Angels'. My brother, known for his healing ability for others, is known as the Angel of Life. Because I was given the ability to take a life they call me the Angel of Death. We apologize for living among you this week without you knowing who we really are, but it was necessary."

She turned to Chiron smacking her hands together, "Now, if that's over, I'll be leaving. I've been itching to get back into the fight." She turned to everyone else and bowed to them. "I bid you goodbye." She dissolved into darkness before anyone said anything else. Lukas sighed in annoyance, "Mitch-"

Mitchell stood up, "Don't worry I won't let her run away too long. Everyone who doesn't want to be blind, look away." With that, he dissolved into light. Everyone had to look away to avoid being blinded. Lukas looked back over at everyone once the light died down and clapped his hands together, "Now any questions?"

"Who's Summer?" Jason asked.

"She's a bi-" Lukas started before Kai elbowed him in the side. "Bianca hates it when you talk about her like that."

"Yeah, well Bianca isn't here and neither is Summer. I don't see why we have to be nice to her when she kills Ja-" Lukas abruptly stopped and turned around to collect himself.

"What Lukas means to say is that Summer was… She turned evil. She was confused by the other side. Her name is Summer Grace Valdez, daughter of Leo Valdez and Calypso. Born June 22, 2020."

Leo looked up when his name was mentioned in shock, "My child is a traitor…" Everyone was silent and let him take in the fact his daughter turned bad. "How? How is that possible?"

Annabeth spoke up, "Lukas, you started to say something about Summer killing someone. Were you about to say Jason?" Lukas and Kai looked at each other and Kai nodded slightly.

"Yes, Summer kills Jason on March 5, 2033." Everyone gasps and looks between Jason and Leo.

Leo shakes his head, "My daughter would never kill my best friend."

Kai walked over to Leo and put a hand on his shoulder trying to comfort him, "She did, I'm sorry."

Everyone is silent for a moment until Lukas clears his throat, "I'm sorry to move on so soon, but we need to tell you why we a-" Lukas is cut off by two young girls bursting through the door. They were holding hands and one girl was slightly in front of the other and looked that like she was pulling the other one. The one that was leading was a tan girl about age 12 with blonde hair to her waist. Her eyes were a pretty sea green, that scanned over everyone and some people shivered and felt as though she was looking into their souls. She's wearing capri pants, a camp shirt, and, converse.

The second girl was a young Asian girl around the age of 10-11. Everyone stared at her, eyes bulging out of their heads as they saw the black cat-like ears on the top of her head, whiskers on her face and the black tail coming out of her backside. Her hair is brown and goes to her back in waves. Her eyes were a pretty chocolate. She was wearing ruffle dress and black boots with a flower in her hair. She suddenly tripped and cried out, tumbling to the floor and almost taking out the other one. "Owie." The other girl helps her stand slowly. The younger girls cat ears were flicked back and her tail was flicking, showing that she looked embarrassed.

"Sorry about that, I'm very clumsy. Do they know who we are?" Lukas nodded and her ears perked up. "Oh, well hi everyone." She was waving really fast at them with a gigantic smile. "My name is Emmi Marie Rose Zhang, but everyone calls me Kitty. Can you see why?" She turned slightly and wagged her tail. "I was born May 30, 2025. This is Sally Renee Jackson, but you can call her Rere. She's born January 9, 2024." She smiled sweetly before her eyes landed on Frank and Hazel. Her smile fell and pain flashed across her eyes. She whimpered and then ran to Kai who opened his arms and picked his sister up. She laid her head on top of his shoulder and wrapped her arms and legs around him.

Sally walked to Lukas and pulled him down so she could whisper in his ear. He nodded once, twice and then whispered something in her ear. She nodded, tugged on Emmi's arm and walked out with her. When she passed everyone, she glanced back at a confused Frank and Hazel one more time with tears in her eyes.

"Now then, we shall continue our life story. It started in 2028. At the beginning of June, when everyone was traveling to the camps, they were attacked. So many monsters got together and swarmed demigods, that almost 38 died. That's about a third of camp half blood. A few days later, Chiron and Reyna received a letter declaring war on all demigods. Battle sounded the rest of the year and demigods were not allowed to venture into the human world. In November of 2028, Chiron is captured. Camp Jupiter will be attacked July 9, 2029, and it will kill more that 100 people including-" Lukas stopped and looked at his feet. In a low voice, Kai says, "I'm sorry, this is still hard for us all to talk about. Among the dead will be Percy Jackson, he died trying to get people out." Everyone looked to Percy, who looked shocked. He couldn't believe what they were saying. There's no way that could happen.

Lukas cleared his throat and looked back up. "In 2030, the mortals in America will be attacked and the mist will be destroyed for most people. The mortal world joins the fight two days later. In October, monsters will rule Australia. In June of 2031, Leo Valdez leads an attack on an enemy stronghold. He… he doesn't make it out alive. I'm sorry." Leo looked down at his hands. At least I go out helping.

Lily takes over, "In September, Greece and Italy falls. In 2032, Asia will fall in March. On November 15, one of our safe houses is attacked. During the battle and evacuation, 29 die, including Annabeth Jackson, Clarisse and Chris Rodriquez who sacrificed themselves." Clari scooted closer to Christian, who wrapped an arm around her shoulders and gave her a kiss on the top of the head.

Kai takes over for Lily, "January of 2033, Africa falls. On March 5, Summer betrays camp and kills Jason. In May of 2034, all of Europe falls. In December, all of South America falls. By March of 2035, only America still stood. By June everything west of Tennessee falls. We were able to slow their advancements in August. The next year, 2036, is when we came up with this plan. By September we lose everything southwest of Pennsylvania."

Lukas cuts in, "On December 8, we came back in time. Reyna, Piper, Hazel, and Frank sacrificed themselves to buy us enough time to escape back here. It's still pretty fresh, that's why Emmi freaked out. Last week her father kissed her goodbye before he died and now he's here and alive."

Hazel hand goes over her mouth to stifle a gasp. She looked to Frank who pulled her to his chest. He looked to Kai and asked, "Do you think we will be able to talk to her?" Kai shrugs, "Maybe, but watch her tail. If her tail starts swishing, she's getting agitated and you need to please back off."

Frank nodded and turned back to his girlfriend.

"So as I was saying, we came from a very dark future. We are going to try to help you stop that future from happening. We are all a little sensitive about what's happened, so some of us may choose not to speak about it."

Butch spoke up just then, "How will we stop it now if we couldn't then- or well in the future?"

"They don't have as many monsters and they haven't had time to gather more. In our time, they chained Thanatos down again and opened the doors of death. Monsters could not be killed and would regenerate unless we did painstakingly long things to prevent that. They had even figured out how to trap demigod and mortal souls so they could not go to the underworld, which caused Hades to begin losing power."

"What about us, are we alive?" Asked Lou Ellen.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but over 90% of the people at this camp does not make it to the year we left. You are included in that."

"Oh…"

"Okay, campers we will be calling everyone to the campfire in an hour to explain everything. In the meantime, I need everyone to wrap their heads around this and help their siblings to understand this."

Lukas spoke and called everyone's attention, "Kai, Clari, Christian, Lily and myself are available for questions. Other than that, please try to wrap your own heads around this."

Everyone looked to someone else and began whispering. Connor and Travis turned to each other to discuss what was going on. Clarisse and Chris walked over to talk to Clari and Christian. Kai walked over to talk to his parents. Lily walked over to Jason and Piper. The rest either sat quietly or whispered to each other.

Lukas, instead of going to his parents, walked to Nico and Will. "Nico, Will, can I talk to you outside for a second?" Both nodded numbly and followed him out. Once outside, Lukas looked at the two who just stared at him. They would open their mouths like they wanted to ask something but was too afraid or too confused to and they would shut their mouths again. After five or six times, Lukas finally sighed and began to talk, "Look, here's the thing. Bianca and Mitchell didn't have the happiest childhoods. I'm warning you now that if you stress Bianca out, I will hurt you. Don't be hugging her and telling her what to do. Mitchell might be more into the hugging thing, but a hug won't be okay with her. Please don't ask anybody about what your fates were or about Bianca and Mitchell's childhood. If they want you to know what happened, they will tell you."

Mitchell stopped and looked at them. He saw them slowly nod their heads indicating they were listening. Nico was the first to break the silence again, "How did M- I mean Bianca get up after getting her arms and ribs were broken? And the blood on her neck was from a wound, but it looked like there was nothing there. Why did Summer call her a freak and a monster?"

Lukas narrowed his eyes at Nico, "Okay let's get one thing straight. She's not a freak and she's definitely not a monster!"

Will stepped in front of Nico and put his hands up in a calming way, "We would never call her a monster. We know she's not and we know she's a sweet girl. I think Nico was just curious why someone else would think our child is… Something like that."

Lukas took a breath and sighed, "I know and I'm sorry. It's just a touchy subject. I can't tell you that. Bia will just have to open up about all of her... gifts when she wants to."

Lukas walked past them and back inside. Nico pulled Will into his arms. Will turned around and clung onto his shirt. He didn't realize he was crying until he saw Nico's shirt becoming wet. He whispered, "W-we have two kids. They let us have two kids of our own." He started to chuckle softly and looked up at Nico. He found two brown eyes shimmering slightly with happiness, "Yeah sunshine, we do."

The rest of the group stayed inside while Lukas left with Will and Nico. Hazel was smiling at something Kai had said while Frank lovingly ruffled his hair. Lily shyly looked at her mom, who was beaming at her. Lily whispered something to Piper, to which Piper laughed and almost pounced on her giving her a hug. Jason even slowly wrapped his arms around the both of them and kissed the top of Lily's head.

Lukas walked back in and smiled at the scene. He walked towards the regular campers to see if they had any questions. He glanced at his parents and held up a finger to signal that he would talk in a minute to them. They nodded and went back to whispering with each other. Nico and Will walked in a moment later. Will looked to Lily, Jason and Piper with longing. He leaned over to Nico and whispered, "Do you think our daughter will let us hug her like that?" "I don't know."

Lily slowly withdrew from the hug and walked over to stand by Lukas to help talk with the others. Kai gave Hazel and Frank a hug and kissed Hazel's forehead. He too walked to the others. Clari nodded to his parents before walking over there too. Alex, however, stayed where he was. Little talks popped up here and there before Lukas walked over to Chiron and nodded to him. "Alright campers, please go to your cabins, gather your siblings and bring them to the fire pit."

Everyone slowly filed out to get their siblings. Lukas went straight to the campfire with Kai. "I think that went well Lukas, what do you think?"

"It went oka-" Lukas stopped abruptly when he caught sight of the giant pile of blood left behind by Bianca. He sighed and held out his hand palm down. He abruptly twisted his hand palm up and water began to flow up from the ground, washing away the blood stain. Lily nudged him and whispered, "Show off." Lily, Lukas, Kai and Christian all started laughing. Clari just smiled and even let out a small noise that could be taken as a chuckle.

They stood by the fire pit as everyone began to show up and take their seats. Everything was quiet while they waited to be told what was going on. Once they were told, they wished they had never asked. Nobody could believe what they said. The entire world was taken over by monsters. The gods couldn't stop it. Most of them die and those who don't are hunted. Now they are being hunted in this time as well. How could this get any worse?
