Pretend I didn't include Thalia in the prologue. You can probably guess why, but if not, you're about to find out.

Annabeth's POV

"Annabeth?" a woman asked when we went back down stairs. She had black hair and electric blue eyes. Her outfit was a black t-shirt and ripped faded blue jeans. She pulled me into a hug.

"Thalia? Oh my gods! I haven't seen you for seventeen years!" We pulled away after a few minutes and I realized she didn't have her halo from when she was with the hunters.

"You left the hunt?" I asked and she nodded.

"When we started going out," she gestured to a man at the other side of the room who was talking to Percy. "I quit. Then we got married!" I looked at the man and was surprised to realize who he was.

"You married Nico? That's great! Why didn't you tell me? I would've loved to come to your wedding."

"Well, we were sort of keeping it a secret and decided not to have a big wedding. The only people we invited were my dad and his dad." she lowered her voice. "We didn't really want them there, but they would have been angry if we didn't." Both of us laughed.

"So what about you, Annabeth? How's your life been?" Suddenly I remembered why I'd come and I felt my smile fade. I looked down at my jeans and felt tears coming into my eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Well, it's just that, I'm not sure if you heard, but we have a daughter. She's fifteen years old and she's been kidnapped."

"Really?" Thalia said. "My fifteen year old daughter is missing. That's why we came back to camp."

"Us too. What's your daughter's name?"

"Allison, but she likes to go by Ally."

Lilly's POV

After what was probably a few hours, the truck stopped. About a minute later, a middle aged guy opened the trunk door. He had short blonde hair and tan skin. He was really muscular and was wearing all black, including his sunglasses.

"What have we got here?" He asked as he smiled at us. A teenager walked over to look at us. He was skinny and had shaggy black hair that went into his eyes. He had a white t-shirt and blue jeans on.

"They are the children of," he looked down at a clipboard. "The Jacksons and di Angelos." The other guy, who seemed to be in charge, raised his eyebrows.

"Are you sure?" He asked and the other guy nodded. "This will change everything, Johnny! I can't believe it!" The guy (I'll just call him Bob for now until I find out his name) was grinning widely at us. "Go ahead and bring them in." Johnny nodded and whistled. Two tough looking men who looked like body guards walked around to where we were and started to lift us out of the trunk.

"Ouch! Watch it!" Ally said as the man lifting her banged her head on the roof by accident.

"Sorry, miss." he said. I tried to look around so maybe I'd find a way to escape at some point, but it was already night time and I couldn't see anything.

A few seconds later, he sat me down on a comfortable couch next to Ally and untied my hands. It looked like we were in a very fancy house, but nothing made sense. Why would some guys kidnap Ally and I and then bring us somewhere like this? Bob sat down in a chair across from us and smiled.

"Well," he said. "I bet you ladies are a little confused. Let me start with introducing myself: my name is Andy. We don't want to harm you."

"Really?" I asked. "Then why exactly did we get knocked out and thrown into the trunk of a truck?" Andy's eyes widened.

"Johnny!" he called and the teenager appeared immediately.

"Yes, sir? Is there a problem, sir?"

"Of course there is a problem! What did you do to these young ladies? I told you to bring them no harm!"

"But sire I-I thought-" he stammered.

"You thought? What exactly did you think?"

"Well, they have dangerous parents, so I thought they'd be dangerous too," he said nervously, then muttered "Please don't hurt me!" Andy sighed.

"Johnny, you know I'm not a violent person. These young ladies have not had any history of violence, so why would you think they'd be violent now?"

"I-I-"

"You're dismissed, Johnny." Johnny thanked him and started to walk away.

"Oh, and Johnny," Andy said.

"Yes sir?"

"Bring these ladies something to eat, they must be starving."

"Yes sir." Johnny said and went into the kitchen.

"I'm sorry about that," Andy said sympathetically. "He was just doing what he thought was best."

"Umm, Andy?" Ally said. "Why exactly are we here?"

"Oh, yes, of course!" Andy said. "Well, if you haven't noticed, you two come from very special families." We both nodded and I felt excitement raising up in me. All my life, I've wanted to know who I was, and now here's someone who's about to finally tell me.

"Well, I know that your parents haven't told you anything yet, and that's why we've brought you two here." He sat back and smiled. Johnny brought out a plate of sandwiches and set it on the table in front of us. Another man brought out a bowl of freshly cut fruit and I felt my stomach growl.

"Thank you, Johnny," Andy said as the men left the room. "Go ahead and eat. I can explain everything now or we can wait until you finish." I picked up a turkey sandwich and took a giant bite out of it.

"Tell us now," I said with my mouth full and Andy laughed.

"Alright, I guess I can't blame you. You know about Greek mythology?" I nodded. "Well, long story short, they aren't myths. It's all real." He stopped to wait for our reaction. I just chewed my sandwich and stared at him like he was nuts.

"Sometimes the gods have children with mortals who are called half bloods. Both of your parents are half bloods, they were heroes." He turned to me.

"Lilly, your parents saved the world." I burst out laughing and spit out parts of my sandwich. I finally got hold of myself and stopped when I saw how serious Andy's expression was.

"Wait, you're serious?" I asked and he nodded. "But they're just parents, my dad can't even get a jar of pickles open sometimes! How could they have saved the world?"

"Believe it or not, they did. I prove it to you that I'm not lying. You're dyslexic, right?" I nodded. "That's because you're eyes were meant to read Greek. You have ADHD, right?"

"Yeah, but what does that have to do with this?"

"It has everything to do with this. It helps you in battle. Allison, has there ever been a storm when you get angry?" She thought about it for a moment.

"Yeah," she replied.

"That's because your grandfather is Zeus. Have you ever seen skeletons rise out of the ground or cracks come into the earth when you're upset?"

"No!" She replied, obviously freaked out.

"Oh, well you'll learn to control that later. Your father's dad is Hades. Lilly, has your dad ever down strange things with water?" I thought about the bucket, how my dad always takes really long showers, and the fact that I've heard my mom call him Seaweed Brain when she thinks I'm not listening."

"Yeah," I said.

"Well, that's because his father is Poseidon."

"What about my mom?"

"Daughter of Athena. She's very wise." I nodded and realized that I believed him.

"Why didn't my parents tell me?"

"They were trying to hide the truth. They didn't trust you with it." I formed my hand into a fist and pushed my nails into my palm, which is what I do when I get angry.

"So, what do we do now?" Ally asked. "There's no way I'm going back home."

"That's why you're here," Andy said. "We want you to join Team Kronos."

"Isn't Kronos bad?" Ally asked. "I mean, didn't he like eat his children or something?" Andy laughed.

"Yes, he did, but that was a long time ago. Think about it, we told you the truth while your parents, on the gods side, didn't tell you squat. It's been practically sixteen years and never explained. You could've been killed by monsters because you never knew how to fight." I squeezed my fist even tighter and realized he was right.

"I'm in," I said and looked at Ally who nodded her agreement.

"Great," Andy said. "Come with me, I'll show you your rooms."

Ooh, what's going to happen next? Review! Please and thank you!!! :D
