"omigod! I didn't know Cherubs were real!" I say as I ran to the table with a hung over, tall, Cherub was with blondish hair and purple eyes and with a tiger Hawaii shirt. "cool shirt! Oh even cooler eyes-they are amazing are they purple? I thought Cherubs were short and baby cupid like?"

Mia rolled her eyes as she sat next to Chiron and I was playing with the cards. "are we playing Texas hold 'em? My dad taught me said I needed it because someone who is very important loves it after they got over their obsession with some foreign crap." I say as I pick up my cards. I look at the Cherub and asked, "so when do we begin? Are we waiting for someone?"

The Cherub looked to Mia and said, "where did you find this peter piper? She has a lot of energy and she boxiest-so why of all the people you bring me her?"

"Alice we are waiting for Liam and Rose they love this game-at least Rose does," Mia then looked at the empty spot in front of her then turned to the Cherub. "Mr.D did I not say I was playing when I got back?" he nodded. "well I'm back and I have no cards so am I playing or not? Am I going back to Hell or not? Besides I won't win if Rose plays-she's a fucking genius at this game." The Cherub passed her some cards. "thank you."
The cherub slapped his hand down when she was about to take them. "first who is she?"

"why she's Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase's child-you know Peter Johnson and Annabel," Mia says with such controlled attitude I wonder why she didn't explode earlier. She then turned to me, "this Cherub isn't a Cherub he is Mr. D, the god." I giggled. "please for the love of all that is good don't laugh."

"Mr. D isn't a god though there are god names that start with D and I'm guessing that you're Dionysus, the God of Wine and also known as 'the god who comes' weather that refers to intercourse I have yet to know but you know if actually came every once in a while their would be less crazy women in the world looking for you and driving everyone crazy." I say to him as I examine the cards. I look up at him, "unless you adore your stalkers?" I look at all their blank faces. "what I liked Greek stories they are so fun. Especially since they are real."

"where are the chips? Oh hi Liam hi Rose," I say as they walk though the open door to the patio. "Want to play?"

"what's your name?" I ask the Oracle who was sitting on the counter while I was mixing the ingrates in the bowel.

"I'm Carmen." she answers simply I don't understand how such a mind speaks though a little girl.

"well Carmen how did you end up here? As the next oracle?" I ask her as I grease the sheet.

"I was born out of my dead mother and my father took care of me," she answers.

"oh who is he?" I asked.

"Apollo of course. You know that his children tend to see more clearly though the mist than other demigods-not the Big Three though." she says while playing with a colorful wind chime.

"you're a half-blood?" I asked when I plopped the sheet into the burning hot oven.

"of course I am, why else would I be so gifted? Why else do I see what others cannot?" she asked looking me in the eyes. "why do I see you cover up for another-who I do not know." she says to me.

"I don't cover up for anyone-I cover up my intelligence -there's a difference.

Besides I'm pretty sure you would know who," I saw to her as I lick the bowel.

I saw a hint of a smile bifidly land on her face as she answered, "no I see it you have a deadly flaw-one of the worst I've seen." she shuddered then. "all I don't understand is why you are placed with this flaw for you seem so spaced out-yet this is your flaw. hmmm…" she says staring at me.

"ok I'll fold: what's my flaw?" I ask her throwing the bowel down.

"I was eating that," I narrow my eyes at her and she shrugged. "I can't tell you though just be cautions' not everyone is sweet-just take monsters as examples."

"whatever do you want to watch the torment going on while our cookies bake?" I ask.

"sure and we can even take bets," she says skipping on the porch and turning so she could go around.

"I'll pass besides I think Rose will win that or Mia they are always the best," I say to her.

"nah something tells me that Ice will win," she says just as they begun.

Later that night….

"that's no fair!" I yell at the horse man in front of me.

"hey you're parents made a deal with me that you have to sleep here and not in a cabin," Chiron says.

"what do they know they don't know half of my life-they don't even know my favorite color! You can't trust them! I'll stay at Hermes for all I care!"

He thought for a moment then said, "fine tomorrow we will arrange it-but tonight you stay here."

"whatever I'm going to bed," I barley make out for the fatigue I put off is finally getting to me.
.I am floating on cards that are tossed and shuffled in and out. I think I'm in Las Vegas at a casino at their Texas Hold 'em table. Just when I think I'm going crazy I fall into the black Q of the Queen. I had a sensation of falling and I heard screams of pain and of lost-it was like I was shadow traveling again only this time though sadness and angry

Then I heard that voice-like nails on a chalk bored, a knife scraping a rock making sparks of laughter. The voice laughed over and over. When I finally had enough I yelled into the dark sadness, "what do you want? Huh? 'cause if you want to drive me crazy-then you better face me first because I'm already crazy!" I flung up and stood with my fist ready for a fight. "oh don't tell me you're a chicken?" this person was really pissing me off. "great!" I screamed into the darkness as it echoed my calls. "I guess my stalker is too chicken to fight me!" then I said the first thing that came to my head. "Jack-ass! Mother Fucker who needs to go to Hell to suck his Mama's own dick!"

Just then the laughter stopped. "Alice?" my brothers voice echoed to me from behind me. He was in a spotlight with his blonde hair blowing every which way and his bright eyes looking frightened. "Alice please tell me that's you and not some miseries!" I slapped my head and cursed in the foreign language I some how know. Chase backed farther away from me when I cursed. "why are you speaking like him?"

"what are you talking about, Chase? Who am I speaking like?" I asked him.

"STOP IT!" he covered his ears and started to rock back and forth.

"Chase!" I screamed and started running towards him. I started to slow and I could feel the power the dream had over me. someone was controlling it. "Chase!" I screamed and ran to him, though the slowness of the dream. I hugged him close and just when he was about to freak out and attack me he dissolved into nothingness.

"Alice?" the scared voice called from the other side of the room. I turned and saw Chase standing there completely sane and he has his hands in his pockets.

"Chase?" I called as I catch my breath.

He smiled slyly and I saw the gold tint in his eyes as he said the word that will haunt me for the rest of my life. "you wish."

I sucked up my emotions and stood up all hard face again and walked right up to the guy who took my brothers form. "who the hell are you?" I ask him.

"the question is more like-what the hell are you?" he said to me. I looked at my brother like he was crazy. "no I think it's what are you doing to my brother you jack-ass?" I then jumped on top of him and pinned him to the ground.

He just smiled. "Alice, Alice, you can't hurt me-because my pain is your brothers."

"well then I'll do just as bad."
