10th chapter. If you pay attention to author notes, you know I am rewriting this. I always get lucky.

We walked into a spa type-y thing. A cool blond walked towards us,

"Hello. We welcome you to CC spa's. First time at spa, right? CC will personally over see you boys. Girls come with me." she said.

We girls followed her. She ushered us into a room. There was a solid gold hot tub with bubbles. There was a plate of fruit next to it. Then there was a closet full of clothes.

We went crazy. While we were soaking in the tub, we were hand feed fruit and our hair was done in metallic threads.

Then, we got monogrammed robes and chose some clothes. I got some Sevens they happened to have. There was a black top with a bunch of stars on it. And Converse with them. Perfect.

We looked around. Like magic, the cool blond appeared.

"Hello again. You are done, yes? You're complimentary spa-over is complete. Please come back soon." she said.

"Okay, miss. But can we first see our friends first?" asked Melanie.

"I'm sorry, who?" she asked, perfectly confused.

I grew suspicious. Nobody could be so perfect. Something is wrong.

Melanie nodded. We attacked the blond.

"You will never defeat me! Hecate herself taught me!" she said.

She aimed a bunch of blue energy bolts at us. I called water from the hot tub and made it into a shield. The energy bounced off and hit her. She sank to the floor.

I walked over her. Then, Nymphadora and I looked at Melanie.

She was reading the blonde's mind and was disturbed, it seemed. When we asked her what was wrong, she shook her head.

We decided to look around. Nymphadora stuffed the blond in a random closet she found and disguised herself like her. Then, Melanie stuck her invisibility cap on her head. I was left fully visible but in the company of the cool blond.

We walked to a room. It was full of guinea pigs. Nymphadora and I walked out. We couldn't see Melanie, so we weren't sure if she was there.

We walked towards another room. The boys were in there!

We knocked on the door. A blond whom I assume is CC answered.

"Yes Chloe?" she asked Nymphadora.

"This girl wanted to see her friends. That is why I led her to you." said Nymphadora.

"Thank you Chloe. I'll remember this in your salary." said CC.

She led me in. Adonis looked at me and smiled. Teddy, Rick, and Fred looked scared.

"Hello Amelia. I see you already met your mother." said CC.

"What? I didn't meet her." I said.

"Oh, yes you did. You know Chloe? That's here. She looks so changed, that's probably why you didn't recognize her." said CC.

"You're lying." I said.

"I am not. You want to know how she is alive? Well, you know Thalia, daughter of Zeus lived in the same neighborhood with you and Nico went to school with you. Well, your mother was aware that it would prove a danger to you, so she made a deal with Hecate. Hecate hid your scent from monsters that weren't under the control of gods and she made sure you weren't claimed. But, your mother couldn't pay the price, so she had to come and work with moi for eternity. She will never be able to get free from my service, unless she hands over the only gift Poseidon gave her." said CC.

I was confused. And she noticed that.

"You, Amelia, it's you. You are the only gift Poseidon gave her. And she didn't want you to learn magic." said CC.

Melanie shimmered into view.

"Melanie. It's a pleasure to see you on the visible plane." aid CC.

"What do you want?" I asked CC.

"You Amelia. You and your tiny little friends are the most powerful demigods of this generation. Well, except for Adonis, but who cares about him? He's only a son of Aphrodite, he's not important." said CC.

I got out Cratyl.

"Don't say that! He's even more important than you think!" said Melanie.

"Really future Oracle? Whatever. You need to get your heads out of the clouds. Even though everyone dotes on you, someday that will be your destruction." said CC.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Circe, don't you see? I am the most powerful daughter of Hecate and the most famous. Not even your little friend Nymphadora is as powerful as me." said Circe.

"Yes, I am!" shouted Nymphadora. She changed back into a girl with black hair.

"Hello, Nymph. You are a sly little thing. You managed to hide from me. That's really something to be proud of." said Circe.

She created a bright blue ball of energy. Then, she threw it at Melanie. Melanie dodged it, and it came spinning towards me. I got some water from Athena know where and made it into a shield.

"Well, well, well. Looks like little Amelia learned a few more tricks from the last time I saw her. No matter. I will still be able to defeat you." said Circe.

"WHEN HADES FREEZES OVER!" I shouted. I slashed Cratyl at her. It hit her and she started bleeding ichor, the divine gold blood of the immortals.

She fell to the floor.

"By the way Circe. It's Mia." I said.

I looked around at everyone. They were awestruck.

"What?" I asked them.

"Mia, you just, you just, you just defeated Circe." said Adonis.

"Yes, so?" I asked.

He didn't say anything, but pointed behind me.

"What?" I asked.

"Turn around." he said.

I turned around and then saw black.

Circe hit Mia on her head. Mia fainted and Circe picked her up.

"If any of you try to save her or follow her, I'll shot her chock full of lightning." said Circe.

We were to scared to do anything.

"Oh, and take her sword. She won't need it." said Circe.

She threw Cratyl at us. It landed in my hand as an emerald ring. I put it on my thumb.

Then, Circe bound us into place with blue magical threads. We watched helplessly as she took Mia away.

Soon the threads melted away. But it was too late. We couldn't see where Mia was.

"Adonis! Check with your tracker!" said Melanie.

I tapped my tracker and whispered Amelia.

The tracker spoke in my mind.

"Under this island." it said.

"Under this island." I announced.

Melanie looked deep in thought. She was probably searching for something.

"Got it. We go to the fountain and tap the horse's nose. It opens a tunnel to where Mia is.

I looked around. The place was dark and damp.

"So little Amelia. You are stuck here with moi. How sad for you. But when I absorb your power, you will be stuck in with Hades forever!" said Circe.

I stared at her. Power hungry people are smart, but they are unbelievably stupid.

"What little girl? Oh, you must want to go to your mommy. I'm sorry, but instead you can meet her for five minutes." said Circe.

She dragged me to another room. The cool blond was there.

"Hello Amelia. Miss me?" Chloe asked.

I remained silent.

"I guess you did. Well, too bad. I didn't miss you, you little brat. You were always annoying, begging me ," Mom, let's go to the pool, let's go to the beach." I'm sorry I made that deal with Hecate. I wish you had died. I wished you had never been born." she said, her every word filled with cruelty. She slapped me.

"Answer me, brat! You won't, will you? Well then, Circe take her power. Who cares about a bitch like her?" said Chloe.

"That's what you think." said a voice from behind Chloe.

"Who's there?" asked Circe.

"I'm surprised you didn't sense me Circe. You must be getting slow." said Melanie.

"You brat, you dare to insult me? Circe? You need to be taught a lesson." said Circe.

Melanie put her hands on her temples. Circe staggered back. She did a weird kick dance. I looked at Melanie. She shrugged.

I punched Chloe in the nose.

"That's for you Chloe. I don't know where my mom is or if she is alive, but she's certainly not you." I said.

We ran from the tunnel or whatever. Then, we got back on the ship and sailed towards another island.

We sailed towards a secret.

Love it? Hate it?

I wanted to do some more foreshadowing, but it makes my stomach hurt. Anyway, I am going to post 3 more chapters after this, then start on a sequel. Good, eh? Don't answer that.

So, there was originally suppose to be 14 chapters. But now it is 13. So, SORRY!
