I am so terribly sorry about the wait! I didn't notify you or anything, but this is what happened. My parents noticed that I was on my computer A LOT. They don't know I write fan-fictions. I would've had my computer taken away if they'd found out. They started watching what I was writing because my little sister told them I'd been writing, so I couldn't continue writing.

Okay, after that…

I definitely don't own Percy Jackson or anything in it.

Let's get started with the next chapter! If anyone is actually still reading…

"Who are you?" Adrian shot up from his seated position, drawing his sword. A girl standing at the entrance to the cave had just spoken, alerting Adrian of her presence. Adrian looked at her, wary. The girl that had spoken was a little less than a foot shorter than him with short black curly hair and forest green eyes. She was wearing dark clothing, which was a contrast to her pale skin. Standing next to her was a girl of the same height, who looked somewhat similar, but different as well. She also had curly black hair, but hers was a lot longer. She had a smaller body build, making her look delicate, but no less threatening. Her eyes were cocoa brown, and she was wearing light grey armor. Adrian couldn't tell how tall the unconscious girl with them was, but she reminded him of Lila. Despite this girl having black hair with silver highlights, wearing a neon tank top and jeans, and having a large scar on her neck, she reminded him of Lila. Lila looked nothing like her, except the pale skin tone. Lila was tall with mousy brown hair, always wore her armor unless absolutely necessary, and always appeared to have no injuries no matter how many times she battled.

"Who are you? It's common courtesy to offer your names first," Mimi said, also getting to her feet. She hadn't expected anyone to find the cave she'd so carefully chosen as a hiding spot. And judging by the fact that there was an unconscious girl with them and the fact they had swords, these weren't normal people. The girl who'd asked the question frowned but said, "I'm Cam, and these are my friends. Who are you?" Mimi looked at her for any sign that she was lying, found none, then said, "My name is Maya, and these are my friends." Cam's conscious friend asked, "Who are your friends? Why do you have swords?" James spoke this time, saying, "Why don't you answer your own questions first?" The girl looked mildly frustrated, but said, "My name is Amy, and this," Amy gestured to the third girl, "is Amanda. Now you." James replied, "I'm James." Adrian's answer was also short, "I'm Adrian." There was still tension thick enough to choke someone in the air, definitely not alleviated when Cam pulled out her sword. "We've answered questions first up until now. Why do you have swords?" The three Roman demigods looked at each other. James mouthed, "How can they see them?" Mimi shrugged, and Adrian said, "You don't see anything…" He snapped his fingers in an attempt to change the Mist to his advantage. Cam laughed, "Really? Of course we see them. We're not going to be deluded by the Mist. Do you take us for fools?" James said, "Well, you might be. You haven't told us anything." Cam stared at him and frowned. She spoke, "Cam May, daughter of Aphrodite." Adrian stared at her for a moment before saying, "Don't you mean Venus?"
"No, Aphrodite."

"Emblem, if there was ever a most stupid idea to ever exist, the one you just said would be it." Lila couldn't believe said girl. Emblem thought it would be a good idea to climb to the top of the mountain. This was a bad idea for too many reasons. #1. They didn't have any climbing equipment, and the mountain became very steep at some point. Without picks, belays, or anything of that sort, they would fall to their dooms if they attempted to climb. #2. It was probably incredibly cold at the top of the mountain. None of them had worn anything warm, so odds are they would probably freeze to death if they actually succeeded in reaching the top #3. Mt. Washington had the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. With the winds on top of the mountain probably enough to knock them off, it was overall unsafe to attempt climbing. Emblem said, "But it would be so cool! The view would be great!" Mike spoke up, "Emblem, I have to agree with Lila on this. Climbing to the top of Mt. Washington without proper equipment, clothing, and without a way to shelter ourselves from the wind is practically suicidal. No, it is suicidal." Emblem shrugged, "You say that now, but I'll find a way, and you'll thank me."

"But Aphrodite is the Greek form…" Adrian was very confused. Who were these people? Cam smirked, and whispered something to Amy, who gasped, and said, "So you're Roman?" Adrian replied, "Yes, and you're creeping me out." Cam smiled a slightly sympathetic smile that read, "He doesn't know," in Adrian's opinion. Cam said, "Roman demigods aren't the only type of demigod out there. We're Greek demigods." There was a silence resonating throughout the cave. The tension got worse, and Adrian said, "Greek?" Amy was the one to speak this time, trying to explain, "There are Greek demigods as well. They are the sons and daughters of the Greek form of the Olympian gods and goddesses. I am the daughter of Hermes, known to you as-" "Mercury." James interrupted her sentence. Amt sighed and continued, "Who are your parents?" Once again the three Romans shared a wary look, but shrugged it off. Mimi was the first to speak, "Venus." James spoke next, "Vulcan." Adrian went last, "Chione. What about your friend?" Cam and Amy looked back at Amanda, then said, "Nyx." Running that name through his head, Adrian came up with the reason for why Amanda reminded him of Lila.

First interaction. There you go. Sorry that there wasn't much action this chapter, but I'm happy that I got this up. I feel really bad about not posting, although I really could before this.
