Annabeth's pov
I was talking to Percy through an Iris Message. Not the smartest thing to do when Aqua and Dale are going to be home in a few minutes. Well, actually, I lost track of time.
"Percy, please. We can't! It's too dangerous. Aqua and Dale won't be able to grow up safely if they find out about our demigod situation!" I said.
"Fine. We'll talk about this later. Bye," he said, then he waved his hand and disconnected. I sat in the living room chair for about 5 minutes. Then Aqua and Dale walked in. They came up to me and said in unison:
"Mom, we need to talk to you and dad!"
A few hours later, Percy came home and dinner was ready. While we were passing around the twins' favorite foods, they (the twins) looked at each other meaningfully.
Aqua took a shaky breath. "Mom, Dad, today we talked to Amy, the secretary of our school. She told us to pass a message along." Then, she looked at Dale.
He looked at me, then at Percy and said: "The message is that you and dad have to get to camp. It's an emergency," he finished.
I looked at Percy who looked startled.
He looked at me and said: "Annabeth, we leave tomorrow."
THE NEXT DAY!
Aqua's pov
"Come on! Dale get up! We have to get into Grandpa's truck!" I said while tugging on Dale's shirt. Grandpa Paul was giving my mom and my dad a ride to this 'camp'. He bought the truck after the Toyota Prius died. Together, we climbed into grandpa's trunk. It was huge! There was room for a king sized mattress up here. Grandpa, mom and dad climbed into the car part. Me and Dale hid out in the trunk. After a few hours, we arrived in New York. Then we headed out into the country. There was a little house in a strawberry field at the bottom of a huge hill. At the top of the hill, there was a pine tree. At the bottom of the tree was a…dragon? Either that or a huge bird. Mom and dad got out of the truck. That's when grandpa Paul came around to the trunk and said:
"What are you two doing here?!"
BUSTED!!!!
