A few years later
Zach's POV
I just love sleeping. Don't you? You get to have awesome dreams while your body regenerates. Which was exactly what I was doing: having an epic dream, when I was shaken awake. Out of reflex, I shouted "Kleidi!" grabbed my key, which was now a Celestial bronze dagger, and held it right up to the face of the dummy that woke me up. Also known as my PERFECT sister, Adara.
"Whoa Zach. Chill out, I'm not the Minotaur! It's time to go to camp Half-Blood. Don't you remember?" She said, frightened
I whispered "Kleidi." And my dagger shrank back to a regular old key. "Mmmmmrrrrrggghhh…" I grumbled, falling out of bed.
"Come on, Zach. If you're not ready in five minutes, I'm leaving without you!" Mom shouted from downstairs.
Five rushed, loud, spilling, crazy, overdramatized, busy minutes later
We had finally gotten in the car. Dad was drilling us on everything we couldn't do at camp.
"Don't swear. Don't accept anything anyone from the Hermes cabin gives you. Don't even go NEAR the Stolls. Don't…" At that point, I tuned him out and observed the scenery. What's the big deal with camp? I get to meet my half-siblings. Woo Hoo. I get to play capture the flag. Big whup. What's so fun about that? I'd rather stay home, catch some Z's, and maybe watch some TV. More fun than camp.
"Zach, we're here. Get out of the car." Mom said
I shook myself back into reality and opened the door. As I was getting my suitcase out of the trunk, I saw a sign reading Camp Half-Blood, but it seemed… different.
"Zack, c'mon. Oh, I see you've read your first word in Ancient Greek." Dad said
"Huh? Ancient Greek?" I said, confused
"I guess it's time you knew. Zack, you're a demigod." Dad told me
"Demigod? Like… Perseus? That dude from Greek mythology?" I asked
"Yes. Wait a minute…I don't think I'm doing my math wrong. Piper?" Dad called
"Yes, dear?" Mom replied
"How much god blood do Adara and Zach have?" He asked
"They should have ¼ Aphrodite blood and ¼ Hephaestus blood." Mom replied
"Thanks. Okay so let's call you a quartergod. Anyway, your grandmother is Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of love, and your grandfather, is Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire/metalworking/blacksmiths, that kinda thing. Camp Half-Blood is for Demi/Quartergods like you."
I just stood there, rethinking my life.
"Here comes Chiron! HEY CHIRON!" Dad shouted
"Greetings, Leo. How are you? I see you and Piper have raised quite the family." Chiron greeted us
"With more on the way." Dad replied
"Wonderful. What is your name, young man?" Chiron asked
"Z-Zach." I stuttered
"Greetings, Zack. I think you know that I am Chiron, trainer of heroes. Come, follow me. ADARA! COME ALONG!" Chiron called. Adara rushed up to us.
"Hey Chiron!" She exclaimed
"Wait. You knew about all this? And you didn't tell me?" I questioned her angrily
"Chill, Zach. It wasn't time yet." She explained
"Hel-lo? Trainer of heroes, waiting for you!" Chiron exclaimed
"Coming!" We said in unison
After orientation and everything
"And this is the Aphrodite cabin. I don't know if you'll be staying here or in the Hephaestus cabin, but you better choose fast. Capture the flag is tonight!" The girl that was leading me around said
"Uh… I think I'll let my grandparents decide. Hey, what's your name?" I asked her
"Joy. Joy Jackson. You're Leo's son, Zach, right? Adara told me all about you. It's nice to meet you." Joy said, sticking out her hand. I shook it.
"I'll be seeing you around, Zach." She said, running off, leaving me to decide where I wanted to stay.
"Hey Grandma? Grampa? I don't know if you can hear me, but can you guys tell me where I should stay? I want you to decide." I prayed
Suddenly, there was an eerie pink glow around me. People started gathering around me. Chiron came and said, "Hail Zachary Valdez, grandson of Aphrodite." Chiron said kneeling. The others followed his lead.
"What the heck is going on?" I exclaimed
"You just got claimed by Aphrodite…" Joy stammered
Thanks, Granma. I prayed silently
There was a collective gasp. Someone handed me a mirror, and I gasped at my reflection. I was HOT!
Back at the Valdez household
Piper's POV
I staggered out of the bathroom. "Leo!" I called
"I'm right here, Piper." He replied from next to me
I showed him the pregnancy tests, all positive. "I'm pregnant. AGAIN!"
So what did you think? Thanks to for letting me use Joy. She's from Percy's Kids, which is AWEPIC! And right now, Zach is Six and Adara is Eight.
