Grace

Monday, 2 days after the non date.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I slammed my hand over my bedside clock trying to shut it down and I rolled over opening my eyes and rubbing them trying to wake up from groggy state. I was never a morning person.

I glanced at the clock to find the time 7:35. I groaned and I pushed myself out of bed trying my hardest not to lose my balance and fall on the floor. I grabbed one of my pre-prepared outfits (Yes, I prepare my outfits a week before I actually wear them, I find it useful in moments like what I'm in right now)

I slammed the door behind me and took a quick shower, getting out of the bathroom in a better state. I grabbed my book back and fixed my hair in a high pony-tail. I quickly put on some lipgloss and eye liner and I fixed my pendent/dagger, suddenly having the weird feeling that something big is going to happen today. Mostly because I had a strange demigod dream last night, I closed my eyes trying to remember it.

Dream

I was walking in a narrow way, it looked like a forest but in the distance I could see an ocean. I kept on walking till I finally came to a stop at the edge of the forest. In a distance, I saw three animals fighting a monster. A monster I knew too well, but I couldn't remember the name. I recognized two animals; a dog and an owl, but the third one was too small and my dream vision wasn't so great. After what seemed like an hour but in reality two minutes or so, the three animals stopped fighting and there was a flash of golden dust, and then a purple glow appeared above the dog. I shook my head and narrowed my eyes trying to figure out what the third animal looked like, but at that moment, the alarm clock woke me up for the first time.

I shook my head and tightened my hands over my necklace holding it as if it's a lifeline. For good measure, I threw open my closet and took out six squares of ambrosia and placed them in my bag. Satisfied, I blew out some of the breath that I was holding, and sighed and went out of the room closing the door behind me.

After grabbing a piece of toast, ignoring the helpless looks Ella was giving me, again, I slipped out of the kitchen and went straight over to the front porch. Luckily, Kim unlike me was a morning person, and she actually remembered and came over to pick me up.

"You look horrible." Was the first thing Kim told me as I got into the car. I rolled my eyes and plastered a sarcastic smile on my face.

"Gee thanks Kimmie, that's a really nice thing to say" She laughed and threw me a grin. "Seriously though, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know Kim, only the fact that it's freaking 7:30 and you look as chirpy as a kid on Christmas morning. I think I have the license to sulk and be pissed off in the morning."

"You're so overdramatic." Kim said rolling her eyes at me as she started the car. I didn't reply and began getting lost in my thoughts again. I thought about my dream and I unconsciously touched my necklace again. Something really weird is happening, and I hope that I'll return home unscathed.

"Grace, GRACE!" I jumped slightly in my place pissed again at Kim. "What!" I yelled at her and she sighed . "What's wrong with you? You seem really out of focus today, and I'm, pretty sure it's not only because of your sleeping problems."

I sighed and looked at her. I must say I'm thankful that Kim's here. It's a relief that I have at least someone from my world here with me. I'm pretty sure I would've gone crazy if I was here alone and I didn't have anyone I could relate to.

I let out a breath and spoke calmly. "I had a dream last night. A demigod dream."

Kim glanced at me in surprise and then motioned me to continue.

"I really can't remember Kim, for some reason there was some kind of blur. But I do remember walking down a forest and then finding three animals fighting some kind of monster."

Kim remained lost in thought for a while. We were now in front of the school, but we didn't bother climbing out of the car just yet.

Finally, she looked at me and talked again. "Can you remember the animals?" I nodded at her. "Yeah, there was some kind of dog, and there was an owl. I couldn't see the last one, it was too small and my dream vision wasn't so great. But I do know that's it's something white."

Kim seemed like she was thinking everything over. After a minute she looked at me again. "You're right it is a demigod dream, but it's a bit unclear. You see, the dog is the symbol of Hecate, and the Owl is the symbol of Athena. You said it was a white blur, so it could be either a dove; Aphrodite's symbol or A swan, and that's going to be a bit confusing because the Swan represents both Zues and Apollo. Tell me, was is flying or was it still on the ground?"

I hung my head trying to remember, but I recalled nothing of my dream, all I remember was the white blur.

I shook my head and sighed. "Sorry Kim, I can't remember. What I remember though, is that after a while the monster burst into a golden dust and a purple glow appeared over the dog. And then I woke up."

Kim stared into space for a sometime and then glanced at me, but before she could say anything else, we heard the bell ringing and we shot out of the car. Well, Kim did that, I literally dragged myself out, taking as much time as possible. "Kim was waiting for me by the front steps frowning at me with her hands on her hips.

"Seriously Grace? Are you looking for trouble? Not everyone is like Emily Gracie, We have Algebra, which means we have Mr. Stephens, and he's a fucking A-hole!"

I chuckled at Kim as I shouldered my bag. "Aw, sweet, shy Kim is actually swearing. The world is going to end; we're all going to die!"

Kim rolled her eyes and grabbed me by my shoulders and into the building. I let her drag me across the hall until we reached our class. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I rolled my eyes at her. Seriously, she has to stop the goody two shoes act. People will doubt her skills. And when I say skills, I mean major kick ass skills. Three years ago, when I was a second year camper, she slayed a fucking Hell hound using only a knife. If people saw her then, they would have avoided her, especially those popular bitches who think Jared is too perfect for her.

"Interrupting my lesson, Miss Connweller and Miss Prince, I trust you had something important?"

I was about to yell something when Kim elbowed me and smiled in a polite way at the teacher. "Sorry , Miss Ully wanted us to hand in a late assignment and we had to deliver it to her office before we came here."

At the mention of Emily's name, the teacher nodded quickly as if someone would jump on him if he didn't believe it. I saw Kim smirking and I followed her to the back.

"What's wrong with him? He actually looked scared when you mentioned Emily."

Kim smirked again and got out her books. "That's because Sam cornered him once and threatened him because he caught him looking in disgust at Emily's scars." Kim's face suddenly became gloomy, and I shot a glare in the teacher's direction. Who in turn was totally oblivious and was writing something on the board.

"Asshole" I murmured under my breath. Kim agreed.

"Hey I wanted to ask you about something." Kim whispered at me, and I nodded at her.

"Do you notice anything strange about that new girl Callisandra? The one who moved from Salem?"

I thought for a moment before nodding at Kim. It's true, there's something off about that girl, she doesn't seem normal. And I'm not saying that because there's a part of my life that is supernatural.

"Well the guys were talking yesterday, and they mentioned her."

I quirked my eyebrows questioningly. "The guys? What guys?"

She rolled her eyes. "The guys are Jared, Paul, and Embry and so on, you know the pack."

My heart fluttered at the mention of Embry's name. I silently prayed that it didn't show on my face.

"Yeah so?"

"Well your brother just happened to mention that she was a little fishy and as he quoted *out of this fucking world*"

I rolled my eyes and then I frowned. "What was Remus doing with you guys?"

"He was hanging out with Collin and Brady. The important thing is that when Remus mentioned that he thinks there's something fishy about her, Brady agreed saying that he thinks you're aware of whatever secret she's hiding."

I frowned at that. "Seriously? Just because I have my suspicions doesn't mean I know what's wrong with her. And how does Brady know that anyway? Does he stalk me or something?"

Kim shrugged and turned to look at the teacher who still wasn't aware of our little conversation.

"I don't know, but I think we should ask her about it."

I snorted and looked at her. "Yeah, that would be a really fun conversation. We'll probably go with *Hey, you don't know us, but we're suspecting that you're not a human based on my dear brother's suspicions. Kindly give us a blood sample so we could make sure and confirm our suspicions.*Yeah, she'll probably run away from us and she'll yell at everyone that we're crazy."

Kim rolled her eyes and looked at the teacher again and then she sighed. "I didn't mean it like that idiot. I meant we could ask her simple questions, we could try to get to know her that's all. Who knows, maybe she's a demigod or something."

I raised my eyebrows at her. "Just because she's weird, doesn't mean that she's from our world. I mean are we weird?"

Kim let out an exasperated breath. "No Grace, but we already know that we're demigods. She probably doesn't know. We were all confused and bewildered before claiming."

I nodded, remembering my life before my claiming. It was anything but easy. I always questioned who my mom is and I felt lost in school because everyone said that my mom abandoned my father.

"Ok, I agree with you. But how are we going to pull this off? I mean, we can't just ask her that stuff in front of everyone."

Kim nodded and she stared into space for a second before she turned to me with a smile on her face.

"I guess we could pull it off at lunch. We could ask her to take a walk with us outside of the cafeteria and then we could talk with her about whatever the hell she's hiding. And if she's a demigod, then Chiron will know what to do. Do you have any golden drachmas on you?"

I nodded. I always carry golden drachmas with me. Who knows, maybe I could find myself in a tight situation and I'll need to summon the grey sisters and their taxi.

"Ok, it's settled then."

I nodded and then after realizing that class will end after 30 minutes, I decided to take a quick nap. I wasn't aware of anything around me until Kim woke me up as the bell rang.

"Can't you at least try and concentrate on any lesson? It won't kill you, you know."

I rubbed my eyes with my hands. "Actually it does kill my eyes to concentrate on all that bullshit that's not going to help me in my later life. I'm pretty certain that there won't be a question in my job application that says *Please state the square root of pie*"

Kim chose not to answer me, partially because she was busy searching the hallway for her boy toy. I rolled my eyes when she spotted him. I told her a quick goodbye that she barely noticed and I went over to my locker.

Waiting for me there was none other than Paul.

"Hey asshole, what's up?" I opened my locker and placed my books.

"Just thought I'd drop by and see how our favorite new hot chick of La Push high is doing."

I saw him smirk and I rolled my eyes, I felt my mouth curve into a smile though. It was hard to remain straight faced when I'm around Paul.

"Im flattered Paul, but No, I won't go out with you." I smiled sweetly at him and he rolled his eyes.

"I wasn't asking you out, I was stating the obvious. Besides, it's bros before hoes, if I even think of it; Embry will chase me to the borders."

My breath hitched and I felt the butterflies return again. Seriously what is wrong with me? I raised my eyebrows at Paul though, "Are you calling me hoe?"

"That was just an expression. Speaking of Embry, what did you guys do in your little outing, did you…have fun?" He wiggled his eyebrows and I snorted, but I felt my stomach clench as I remembered that day. And that Kiss, albeit it was on my cheek, but I swear I felt that part of my cheek burning afterwards.

"What are you already getting lost in the happy memories?" I felt Paul chuckle and I rolled my eyes at him.

"First, we didn't do anything, we were just babysitting. So unlike what your dirty mind is telling you, we were just on a friendly outing. NOT a date."

"Wait, so EmbryBoy Didn't make a move on you? I've always thought that he's gay"

I felt myself getting angry. I mean is he being serious?!

"Seriously asshole, he's NOT GAY. He's a gentleman, unlike you."

"Hey!" He half-yelled offended, "I could be a gentleman." I snorted at him and rolled his eyes.

"Ok, so maybe not a gentleman exactly, but I could be really charming when I want to."

"Yeah right, charming my ass. Paul, you'll be charming the day I fall in love. Theoretically speaking, it's impossible."

Paul suddenly looked a bit confused. "Why are saying that? You think you're not going to fall in love someday?"

I cursed in ancient Greek, which left Paul even more confused. I can't believe I let something like that slip out.

"What? Did you just say something in another language?"

I mentally slapped myself. "uh Yeah, That was, that was, that was greek."

"You speak greek?"

"Duh, my mom's greek American." I mentally praised myself for my quick thinking.

"Wow, really? That's cool but what did you mean earlier? The whole I won't fall in love thing?"

"I'm just, not really interested in falling in love anytime soon."

Paul smirked and raised his eyebrows. "Is that so? Are you sure?"

I glared at him and slammed my locker shut. "Yes, I'm sure. Now get lost Paul."

"Wow feisty." I rolled my eyes at him and turned to leave.

"See ya later Grace" He yelled at me and I waved without turning. I heaved a sigh of relief. That was a really close call.

When the four remaining periods before lunch were finally over, I made my way to the cafeteria ready to go with the weird plan Kim made. I honestly thought it was a waste of time, if that girl was demigod, she should've been claimed already. Wasn't that the weird request that Percy Jackson forced the gods to promise?
I shook my head and began to search for them. I didn't waste a lot of time. It's hard to miss the steroid junkies anyway.

"Yay, Princess is here, now you both could play pretty pony together and keep each other company!"

I flipped Remus off and the guys laughed at the look on his face. Kim noticed me raising my eyebrows, and thankfully she understood.

"I'll be right back, ok?" She kissed Jared on his lips and I faked a gag. I felt my eyes wondering around trying to find Embry, but I couldn't find him at the table. For some reason, I felt a little bit relieved. The intensity of the feelings that I feel when he's around is indescribable.

"Where to? You guys are taking my advice and you're going to play pretty pony?" Remus asked innocently.

"No but, I'm thinking of finding you a playmate so you could play power rangers all you want without bugging us."

I smiled sweetly and the rest of the guys chuckled while Remus rolled his eyes.

I grabbed Kim, who was busy looking around the cafeteria.

"She's not here." Kim said after a minute of looking around. I shook my head. "No but, I'm pretty sure she came today. I saw her in the hallway earlier.

"Let's look for her outside. Maybe being new and all brought a toll on her. You know how people treat the different here."

I silently agreed and we both made our way out of the cafeteria.

Looking around, after about five minutes, we found her at the edge of the forest looking at some plant, or rather picking some plant. I nudged Kim and we both trotted over to where she's standing.

After we came closer, I realized that she wasn't holding that plant, the plant was hovering over her hands. I heard Kim's breathe hitch and realized that she noticed too. I slowly grabbed Kim and we moved slowly to where she was standing. While we were standing behind her, trying to think of something to say to start the conversation, she suddenly swivled around and met our gaze, and the same moment, the flower that was hovering on her hands dropped on the floor.

"Um…hi."

Kim said smiling a small smile trying to keep her from getting alarmed. Callisandra nodded her head as a hello and took a step back, as if she's afraid of us.

"We don't mean any harm. We just figured you need someone to show you around being new and all."

The girl didn't say anything, she just nodded again. Kim looked at me and I shrugged.

"I'm Kimberley, but you can call me Kim, and this is Grace." She looked at me and I smiled a small smile. "You're Callisandra right?"

"Calli" she murmured in a soft voice that I barley heard . "Sorry?" I scrunched my eyebrows.

"It's Calli, just Calli." She said in a clearer voice and Kim smiled and nodded.

"Want to take a walk with us? We won't hurt you I promise." Calli laughed a bit and nodded. Kim led the way entering the forest. I flinched slightly because the last time I entered a forest, some creepy dude thought I was his girlfriend and I was nearly eaten by a hell hound. Ah good times. I said sarcastically in my mind.

"So, Calli, I heard you moved from Salem, right?" Kim started looking Calli with a smile. Calli smiled at her. "Yeah, I was born and raised there, my dad did a lot of traveling though, I was always with my Aunt."

"Why didn't you stay with your mother?" I said ever so bluntly and Kim shot me a look. I ignored her and looked at Calli who seemed sad for a moment before replying.

"I never met her, father says she just left after she gave birth to me. He doesn't talk about her often, and he has o pictures of her." She shrugged her shoulders sadly and looked at the ground as if she found something that interests her.

"What are you doing?" Kim asked a little confused. "She's collecting soil samples." I quipped sarcastically and Kim rolled her eyes. Calli straightened herself and grinned. "No, I thought I saw something sparkling on the ground. It was nothing though." She shrugged her shoulders and continued looking around the forest as if she's searching for something.

"So Calli, how did you make that plant float on your hands?"

I casually walked around till I met her eyes. Her eyes widened a bit. "Um, I don't know really. I've always been …I don't know, weird?" She laughed awkwardly. "I guess I'm just not classified yet." I shared a look with Kim, who was now grinning her *I told you so* smile, I rolled my eyes at her and looked at Calli again.

"How old are you Calli?"

"I'm 14; I'll be fifteen in two months." I threw Kim a look and she shrugged.

"So what made you leave Salem then?"

Calli's eyes darkened and she stood up. "My father thought that a change would be good for me."

I raised my eyebrows and looked at Kim, who appeared as confused as I am.

"What about your aunt? Don't you miss her?" Calli's face brightened and she smiled.

"Well I keep in contact with her, in fact, I talked to her on the phone right before you guys came."

"Oh that's nice…" Kim trailed off suddenly aware of what Calli just said.

"You talked to her? Like on the phone?"

"Um...Yeah? Why?"

Kim and I shared a horror look and we looked at Calli to find her eyeing us both in astonishment.

"What's wrong with you people? You make it sound like-"

A loud growling cut her off from our left cut her talking short. She slowly glanced at it and her eyes widened in horror.

"What…the...Fre…freak?"

She sputtered not really knowing what to say. She took in the creature's lion body, and his long scorpion tail and was about to give a long piercing scream when Kim noticed and placed her hands on her mouth.

"Don' . Do you know what would happen if anyone comes and finds us, we're all going to end up eaten." Calli's eyes were still wide in horror.

"Look, I'll remove my hands, but please don't run away and don't scream, that will make matters just worse!"

Calli nodded a little too quickly and Kim removed her hand. Calli remained standing in her place and I looked at Kim who nodded her head and I gave a curt nod in response.

I quickly rubbed my necklace and a knife fell on my hand. Kim did the same with her two rings and they transformed into her scythes, or *mátia koukouvágias* which means Owl's eyes. The monster which I identified as a manticore growled even louder and took a step toward us.

"Delicious demigods. Come to die!"

"I think we should probably pass up that opportunity, right guys?" Calli squeaked as she took a step backward.

"Fuck yeah; I'm not planning to die a virgin!"

"I have the feeling that we're in huge trouble!" Calli continued taking steps backward and we both did the same as the manticore was still circling us with spit falling from its mouth as if he's eyeing a freaking steak.

"If Kim's already cussing, we are defiantly in trouble with a capital DS" Calli shot me a look. "Trouble stars with T" She said the exact same time as Kim said, "Don't ask". I shot her grin that looked stupid in our recent situation, but I felt that it was needed. "Indeed it does our new recruit. But I'm not talking about just any kind of trouble." I stopped and glanced at the Manticore who was still eyeing us with hunger visible in his eyes. I took my fighting stance as I faced it. "The kind of trouble we're in is the deep kind that leads to all kind of shit!"

With that, I pounced on the Manticore who was about to swing it's spiky tail in Calli's direction and jump on Kim. I managed to hit his left eye, and he growled in agony and threw me off were I landed next to a tree; I looked down to find my white Burberry trousers torn. Now that made me mad, those trousers are worth 1500 bucks!

I pulled myself up, and grabbed my knife again. The Manticore looked at me again and swung it tail and I jumped over it, one of the thorns cut through my T-shirt but thankfully it missed my stomach. With All my strength I jumped on the Manticore and sunk the knife at it's back. The manticore jumped from agony and threw me off again, but this time, I hit the tree hard, and I felt my right hand snap. I cried as pain shot through my arm I gritted my teeth trying not to make any other sound because I know that Kim is easily distracted.

"You asshole!" I summoned all my strength and went over to where they were, feeling my right arm already numb, I threw my knife with all my might at his other eye, it narrowly missed and fell next to it. The manticore swung its tail and one of the thorns in the tail was thrown on my other arm. I cried out in agony, and Kim who was already battling the Manticore from the other side got thrown to the other side and her legs hit the trunk of the tree, I heard a bone snap and her cry echoed in the forest. Calli stood there not knowing what to do; she rushed over to where Kim was and tried to get her to sit upright, but Kim's cries of pain were enough to make her stop, I rubbed my dove cuff and it transformed into a shield, I summoned some of my remaining energy and I stood up, and made my way to where my knife was. Praying to the gods that the Manticore doesn't attack both Kim and Calli until I reach my knife. Trying my hardest not to get hit by any of the thorns on his tail again, as soon as I reached my knife, something odd happened.

An eerie purple glow was surrounding Calli, and suddenly, a bright orange light came out of her hands and wrapped itself around the Manticore. The manticore kept hissing in pain until finally it exploded into a shower of golden dust.

We fell into a silence, with Calli standing there awkwardly looking at her hands in wonder. I cut the silence because I figured if I didn't get any ambrosia or nectar, I'll probably die form the poison in those thorns.

"Calli, quit staring at your freaking hands, and get me my freakin backpack!" I literally shouted, and she snapped out her trance. She handed it over to me and I quickly took out two squares of the Ambrosia I placed this morning. Suddenly I was grateful for Morpheus because that dream literally saved my life. I placed the Ambrosia in my mouth and felt it melt in a blueberry cupcake. Slowly, I began to feel a little better.

"Take one, and give two to Kim" I said to Calli, who after hesitating, placed one into her mouth and gave Kim two squares. She closed her eyes and smiled in content.

"Tastes good?" I asked her with a slight smile. She nodded and smiled, "My aunt's signature apple pie."

I nodded and remained on the ground for five minutes. Realizing that we'd better stay out of the forest, I called Call over.

"Help me up will you." She held out her hand and I pulled myself up. By now the pain was almost gone. I straightened myself and went over to Kim who was now straightening herself.

"You ok kimmy?" I smiled at her and she smiled slightly and nodded. "I've been better"

After a few minutes of relaxing. I helped Kim stand and she rubbed her now healed arm. "Now what?"

Calli was the one who answered her. "Now, I want some explanation, and both better have a good explanation about how that…That…thing came here, and what that thing is and how the hell did this orange light just shoot out of my hand and how did this weird thing I placed in my mouth made me feel better and why was that thing attack-"

"Woah, Woah, clam down kid. We're going to explain everything just give us a minute."

Calli placed a hand on her hips and looked at us expectantly. I looked at Kim and she shrugged her shoulders and I rolled my eyes. Great, now I have to give her the dreaded talk.

"Ok then. Listen Calli, what I'm about to say, may sound to extremely weird to you, but trust me, we're not making this up, I mean, you just saw the proof in front of you.

"What are you talking about? I'm not following here…"

"Have you ever heard of the greek gods?"

Calli, raised her eyebrows, and then she scrunched as if thinking. Her eyes lit up as if she finally understood what I meant.

"Oh you mean like Zues, Athena, Apollo and Hades? Those greek gods?"

"Yeah, and we'll appreciate if you don't throw their names casually like that. Names are powerful things." As if on cue, I heard thunder in the distance and mentally rolled my eyes. Zues could be really temperamental sometimes.

"So, what about them?"

Kim and I looked at each other and I sighed. "Well, they, the greek gods, they're real."

Calli blinked twice before looking at us again. "Come again? Did you just say that greek gods are real?"

"Yup" I said popping the "P". "But this is crazy!" Calli exclaimed and I rolled my eyes.

"Seriously, you were just facing a freaking manticore, which by the way is a Greek monster and you're refusing to believe that gods are real? That just seems sp wrong and pathetic."

"That thing was a greek monster?" She was staring in disbelief at the remaining golden dust on the forest floor.

"uh..yeah, I'm pretty sure they don't sell animals with a lion body and a scorpion tale in petshops nowadays." I said sarcastically and calli rolled her eyey but still seemed a little bewildered. "That's a Manticore, it's a greek monster, and it almost killed us right now."

"Yeah, I can see that." She murmered looking at the golden dust again.

"Yeah well, get used to it." She glanced at me and I continued. "Well you're a demigod so…" I trailed off and looked at me bewildered again.

"Woah woah, hold up, I'm a what? What the hell is a demigod?"

"A demigod? You know, half god, half human, the works."

Calli's eyes darted between me and Kim and rolled my eyes.

"Are you guys trying to tell me that my mom is a god?"

I huffed in disbelief, I hate it when they say that. "Goddess not Gof, I'm pretty sure your mom is woman not a man." "Whatever! That's just, that's just ridiculous! My mom can't be a goddess."

I groaned loudly and Calli raised her eyebrows. "Ugh…Please take over Kimmie, I can't take it anymore!"

"Seriously Grace, go easy on her. She's someone who never heard of that stuff before."

"We we were all in her place once." I knew I was being a bit bitchy, but come on, less than five minutes ago; I was battling a freaking Manticore! I'm not Percy Jackson; I'm not exactly a kick ass fighter!

"Please excuse her, she's just tired, she's doesn't fight monsters a lot" Kim said apologetically.

Calli rolled her eyes, and paced a little bit back and forth and then stood in front of me. "Now what?"

I sighed and looked at her. "look, your mom, is like my mom, is like her mom."

"So we're all sisters?" Calli said with confusion filling her voice. I rolled my eyes and Kim laughed.

"No, we're all demigods, our parents are goddesses."

Calli placed her hands over head feeling over whelmed and she started pacing again.

"What the hell! I mean, I just can't believe that my own mom is a god. She's a freaking god!"

"Your mom is a goddess; you just ate god food for Olympus sake!"

She stopped pacing and faced me. "I ate god food?"

"Yeah…That square thing? Yeah, that's god food. It's called Ambrosia"

"Really?" Calli looked at me expectantly.

"Yes really." Kim said kindly.

Calli smiled and began to calm herself out of her previous freaked state. After a couple seconds she looked at both of us.

"So…who is my mom?"

Kim and I exchanged looks. "Well here's the catch. We don't really know, Not yet anyways, you're supposed to be claimed by the age of thirteen" "I'm fourteen, I'll be-" "Fifteen in two months, yeah you just told us."

"So, why am I not claimed yet?"

I shrugged not knowing what to say. Kim answered though. "I guess because you live so far away from camp. I mean Salem is in Massachusetts , and Camp is located in New York, Normally, campers get claimed in camp, and since you've never been there…" Kim trailed off and Shrugged again. Calli was silent, but after a minute or so, Kim suddenly sat up.

"Calli!" Kim squealed and I looked at Calli to fin a purple glow above her and a hologram of a dog above her head.

"I think you just got your Wish."

"Huh?" Calli was confused, I pointed to the sign and she tried to take a look, so I grabbed out my mirror and she was able to steal a small glance before it disappeared.

"Hecate, your mother is Hecate."

"Who?" Calli said still confused.

"Hecate, goddess of crossroads, entrance-ways, the Moon, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, necromancy, and sorcery"

Calli looked at us shocked and we both smiled at her, she smiled slightly at us.

I sighed and looked at the time, realizing that lunch was over an hour and a half ago, and the guy are probably freaking out right now, I decided it was time to wrap this small gathering.

"We should go, Jared is probably freaking out." It dawned on Kim and she quickly stood up and straightened herself. I grabbed my bag from the floor and mourned for a second the loss of my pants before heading out across the path.

"Calli, you should come over to my house tomorrow, we could talk more about the demigod stuff, and we could contact Chiron then" She msiled and nodded and Kim patted her shoulders.

"One thing though" Kim said looking at her in the eyes. "You must never tell anyone about that secret, nbot even you father, he probably sdoesn't know that your mother os agoddess."

"Wait, he doesn't know?"

I shook my head. "Only few parents know, most of them are clear sighted and can see throught the mist."

"The mist?"

"Yeah. The mist is a supernatural force; coincidently it's actually controlled by your mother. It twists the mortal's sight from seeing monsters, gods, titans and so on. They're replaced by things the mortal's mind knows about and could comprehend. If they saw that monster, it would appear to them as a bulldog or something."

"A bulldog?" She had that *are you serious* look on her face and I rolled my eyes.

"Don't look at me, Mortals sometimes have a fascinating imagination!"

"Anyway, moving on, you can't tell anyone, ok?"

Calli nodded and Kim let out a breath. She took a look at her watch again and swore Greek curses under her breath.

"Jared's probably called the inquisitorial squad!"

I rolled my eyes at her and I began walking down the road. For seconds, we walked in silence, until Calli cut it short.

"That boy, Jared, He's your boyfriend right?" Calli asked Kim and she nodded a smile appearing on her face. But Callie was a little bit uncomfortable.

"I don't know why but, there is something off about him and his friends. They just seem so huge and tall and muscular, and they smell weird…" She trailed off and I glanced at her.

"They smell weird? What do you mean?"

She shrugged, "I don't know, they give of a strange vibe that's all."

"Nothing's wrong with them at all."

I looked at Kim and raised my eyebrows at her defensive tone, she shrugged and continued walking.

"How are you so sure about it?" I asked Kim as I caught up with her.

She shrugged, "I'm dating Jared." She said as if that settled the manner. I raised my eyebrows and put my hand on her shoulder to stop her from walking away.

"That's a pathetic excuse Kim, Jared could easily be keeping some kind of secret from you."

"No he's not! Believe me okay! Nothing's wrong with them, you guys are just too suspicious!"

She exclaimed and continued to walk.

"I raised my eyebrows again and thought it over. Why is Kim so defensive of that matter?

"What's wrong with her?

Calli said as she walked next tome. I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know. But you know what; I'm going to find out." Calli looked at me then glanced at Kim and then she shrugged and continued walking.
Even if I had to stalk each and every one of them. I said to myself as we continued to walk together down the path.

That's all for now I guess, it's a little less than lass time; only 15 pages (6,483 words) but I'll try to make it longer in future chapters (well I hope I'll be able to!) hope you like it till now, and if you want a clue about next chapter, all I can say is that Harlow cough*the bitch*cough, will make an appearance again, and Grace will be involved! Anyway, review, please, your reviews make my days happier (..That sounded a little bit corny :P) But seriously they make me a better writer! So please review.
