Kace's POV
"Whoa there!" Jay said, nervously, backing away. "I never said I wasn't going to tell you the truth." I nodded, sarcastically. "Yeah. That's why you have a strange knack of resisting those with mind control or telepathic powers. Meet them much?" Jay waved his hands, frantically. "I have trust issues! I think you guys can relate. I'll make you a deal." Abigail stared. "You want to make a deal. Couldn't be 'If you attack me, I'll tell the whole school about your abilities.'" "Actually, no. If I have to tell you guys all about my extremely weird life, you guys have to explain to me what it all means and you also have to tell me about your extremely tough life." Abigail's arrow clattered to the ground, returning itself back to a bead on her necklace and I looked to see if he was lying. "It's fair, isn't it? I have to become a bit honest and you both have to as well." I sighed. "Fine." With that, I morphed my sword back into a miniature object and put it in my pocket. Abigail let her bow return to her necklace and Jay looked a bit relieved. I began to walk away, knowing that Abigail would as well after reading my mind. Jay called over to us. "Wait. Where are you going?" "We have homework and you have mental preparation on the explanation we're going to give," Abigail replied. "And Abigail and I are going to do a bunch more mental preparation for us to be truthful." Jay murmured some agreement, then said, "My house at 7?" I nodded. "See you at seven, then."
Jameson's POV
Well, that was the weirdest afternoon I've experienced in my life. First, I get dragged into this weird magical madness, and then Kace and Abigail threaten to torture the truth out of me. So I made a deal that will probably doom the three of us. The second I get to my house, I crash onto my bed. Imagine how normal and great life would be WITHOUT all this weird magical business. I decide that homework should probably be done now rather than two minutes before seven.
The sun falls too quickly and at seven, exactly, there's a knock on the front door. I walk downstairs and open it. Kace and Abigail stand there, waiting, both of their eyes seemingly glowing in the evening sky. "Hello." I greet them, rather awkwardly. Abigail murmurs "hello" back while Kace just nods at me. I let them into the house and Abigail glanced at me. "Have you prepared yourself yet?" I shook my head. She nodded. "Guess we'll start with the simple question and answer, then."
Kace asked the first question. "Why did you help us now but not before?" "I have a personal life and one I'd rather not ruin. I only fight if it's absolutely necessary. My life was mostly normal until 5th grade when this madness began for me. It was freaky, and I don't want it to get out of hand. I realized a long time ago that I was being hunted by monsters, and learned how to cope. Don't try to ruin my life." I responded.
Abigail leaned against the island counter. "What are your abilities?" She asked. I shrugged. "Magic. It allows me to do anything, but the stress and energy of destroying a planet, for example, would kill me. Harvey, on the other hand, does not." Kace frowned. "Magic always has some kind of weakness. Anything your weakness?" I shrugged. "Not that I know of." Abigail sighed and said, "Well, that's one person who can combat my ability, and I hope he's the last." Kace jabbed her in the back, making her yelp. "You've gotten too drunk over this ability." She scowled. "When you manifest, then we'll see if you do the exact same thing."
"Ok… minus that. Explanation?" I asked, curiously. Abigail replied. "So, you're a demigod like us. One of your parents is a Greek or Roman god. You… have to come to camp with us. Everyone there is a demigod as well, and we'll figure it out from there." Then I heard a thump upstairs, followed by a lot of loud cursing. Abigail whipped her head toward me. "Clearly, you were still hiding something." She said, and Kace nudged her. "We didn't ask anything about siblings, remember?" Abigail looked at him and dropped her eyes. "Oh right…" I sighed. "Okay, guys, I think it's time to introduce you to my sister."
