CHAPTER TWO

Lindsey was relieved that Kelley didn't say anything once she unfroze her. "Okay, Kelley. You might not believe me, but everything I'm saying is the truth, and it applies to you. You are a demigod, half human, half god. I'm not sure who you're godly parent is but because you're getting older, monsters have started to come after you. That was Kelli. K-E-L-L-I. She is an empousa, what modern vampires are based off of. She is a servant of Hecate, goddess of Magic and the crossroads. Also my mother," Lindsey shook her head. "Anyways, you won't be safe unless you come with me right away. We have to get to Camp Half Blood, in Long Island. Do you understand that?"

Kelley didn't say anything for a few seconds, looking down at her feet. Finally, she looked up into Lindsey's eyes and nodded her head defiantly. "I do," she said softly.

Lindsey let out a sigh of relief, this seemed to be easier than she thought. Most of the time, the new demi gods wouldn't believe it when someone said she was half god.

Lindsey took Kelley's wrist in her hand and closed her eyes, walking towards the wall. She closed her eyes, concentrating really hard. She hated to shadow travel, it took so much out of her, but she couldn't risk a monster stopping the two on the way to Long Island. Instead of walking into the wall, they were surrounded by shadows. Lindsey looked over at Kelley to make sure she was okay. She was being smart so far, closing her eyes.

After a few seconds, the tightness on her chest evaporated and Lindsey let go of Kelley's wrist and staggered towards a tree, steadying herself. She knocked twice on the tree. "Juniper, I got her, tell Chiron," she said softly to the tree. The wood nymph came out of the tree and nodded. "No problem, Linds," she said and ran to the Big House.

Lindsey looked towards Kelley, who had fallen to the ground after they landed. Lindsey walked over to her and kneeled down. "Sorry, I had to do that, I didn't want to be intercepted on the way here. But as I was saying, the Olympian gods really do exist. And this might be a lot to take in but so do the Titans and monsters. There was a really big war last year between the gods and Titans. We won. Many demigods fought in the battle, New York City was practically destroyed. We lost a lot of good people, but Percy Jackson," she couldn't help but smile at his name. "Made a deal with the gods. There have been a lot of changes, which you will see. We've tried to find as many half bloods as we can and most likely by tonight, you will be Claimed by your godly parent. Do you understand?"

Kelley nodded. "I think so…so does that mean…that I'll know who my father is? After all these years?" she sounded hopeful.

Lindsey smiled at the girl. All of these kids voiced the same worries, thinking for their whole lives that one of their parents didn't care for them. But that wasn't completely true. Some cared less than others, but they were their children. They weren't allowed to communicate with us because of some stupid law that Zeus made up. Maybe he was finally starting to realize that his plans never worked out the way he wanted them to. For example, the law that said that Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades couldn't have children? Who were Percy, Nico, and Thalia then? Granted Nico was born before Hades made the pact on the River Styx. That didn't matter to the King of the Gods though.

"Yes, you will find out who your father is, Kelley," Lindsey smiled at the young girl. "Now come on, let me show you around the camp," she held out her hand to the girl.
