Author's Note; Hello my lovely readers! How are you today? You may have noticed I changed the rating from K+ to T. That's because I like to curse. A lot. So...that happened.

SHOUTOUTS!:

Cherokee rememberer gamer98: No, he really can't keep it in his pants, can he? And the 'Jack Frost' cliche (I knew that had to be one of the ones you were thinking about) I asked my friend what she wanted her name to be, and she immediately said, "JACK FROST!" Also, they all have gem and/or precious stone names because of their parents. It's just a thing we came up with as little kids. Lastly, I generally make a lot of references.

Aqua: Yeah...in the story...definitely not just mentioned a few times...

Disclaimer; I do not own Percy Jackson or any other songs, fandoms, or parodies mentioned in this fic.

I'm A Demi-WHAT Now?

Chapter II: Well, Scheisse

"My Dad is Poseidon?" I shrieked, causing everyone but Mum to cover their ears. She winced.

"Yes."

"But that means...I'm not supposed to be alive...are they gonna try and kill me? I-I don't wanna die!" I started panicking. Would Hades try to kill me as he had my cousin Thalia? Was I going to...die?

I feared the worst.

"Calm down, Diamond!" Mum reassured.

"You have seven people to help you, nine once you're claimed and the twins are on your side! Twelve even once our other siblings find out they're demigods!" Pearl agreed.

"Wait, Jessica, Lightning, and Aqua are demigods as well?" Jack asked.

"Oh, yeah. Definitely." Mum replied.

Sapphire lifted an amused eyebrow. "Did you and Dad have any kids together?" She asked.

"Smokey Topaz Jr." Mum suggested, but it sounded more like a question.

All four of us laughed. We pestered Pearl about 'Camp Half-Blood' until Mum pulled up in front of...a hill. With a giant pine tree.

"Why are we stopped here?" Jack asked.

"Did we run out of gas?" Sapphire hesitantly asked.

"No, this is it." Pearl answered.

"But this is a hill. Not a magical demigod camp." I said slowly as if I were talking to a two-year-old.

"This is Half-Blood Hill. The border between the mortal world and the magical demigod camp." Pearl replied in the same tone of voice, unbuckling her seatbelt and getting out of the minivan.

Curious, I hopped out of the car. I saw Ruby and Jade arguing as they got out and everyone else rubbing their ears annoyedly. 'All car ride?' I mouthed at Sean.

He nodded. 'All car ride.' He confirmed. I laughed.

We all grabbed our small sports bags. Mum began to hug all of us-we were all like her children. "Make sure you write once a week, all of you."

"Yes, Mum." I said.

"And don't provoke anybody with anger issues, I heard the Ares kids can be especially easy to tick off."

"Yes, Mom." Ruby replied.

"And don't go in the woods alone, especially without weapons."

"Yes, Mother." Sapphire happily agreed.

"And don't get eaten or killed in any way by monsters."

"Yes, Mrs. Garnet." Jack answered.

"And don't kill anyone."

"Yes, Mrs. Sapphire." Monkey politely said.

"And don't talk back to Chiron or Mr. D."

"Yes, Mom." Pearl said boredly.

"And don't go out after curfew."

"Yes, Mom." Jade equally-as-boredly replied.

"And don't get yourself killed in any way!"

"One would wonder why you're sending us to a place where you can be killed so easily you need to be told not to." Sean remarked.

"Sean!" We all hissed.

"All of you women hate me." He muttered.

"And last of all," Mum said with a pointed look at Sean, Sapphire, Jack, and I. "No being a smart ass with anyone who is likely to hurt you."

"Yes, Mom." All nine of us said. Smokey had joined in.

"All of my children are smart asses and they know it." Mum murmured as she and Smokey went back to the minivans.

"Bye!" She yelled before closing the door and driving away.

We all looked up at Half-Blood Hill and five of us gulped. Five guesses who.

"Wait…" Jade murmured.

"What's wrong with the tree?" Pearl asked, running up the hill towards it.

Monkey and Jade ran after her. I looked more closely. The tree didn't seem to be doing well. Something was wrong.

I ran after them and reached the top of the hill in time to see Pearl arguing with a few campers.

"What happened?" She shrieked.

I looked at the tree. It's needles were yellow and falling off. In the trunk was a hole, oozing a sickly green liquid. It looked...poisoned?

"Look, Pearl, somebody poisoned the tree. Argus was fired for not doing his job and Chiron's leaving in a few days." A girl with dark brown hair and grass green eyes.

"But, Katie, why does Chiron have to leave?" Jade asked the girl.

She winced. "The Demeter cabin examined the poison as well as Chiron and Mr. D. We couldn't find a cure and Chiron said it was so ancient, he'd never seen it before. They blamed him because...well...you know his Dad. He has a replacement, Tantalus."

"Tantalus?" Monkey asked. "Don't tell me...the dude who couldn't eat or drink in the Underworld?"

Pearl nodded. "He's from The Fields of Punishment!" She hissed. "Look, I have five new people I brought. Even though it's safer here than at home, nothing had better happen to them."

"Don't worry, it's still safe enough. We just need a border patrol now." The girl-Katie?-told her.

"Okay." Jade replied.

"Come on." Monkey said to us. "Let's go to the Big House."

"Why can't we just go straight to the cabins?" I asked.

Pearl rolled her eyes. "Well, we have to at least let Mr. D and Chi-Tantalus that you're here."

I looked down at the camp. There was a big blue house, and next to that, a volleyball court. There was a strange assortment of buildings arranged in a 'U', probably the cabins. There were various other Greek style buildings, a rock wall pouring out lava, an archery...place, a gigantic lake with people in canoes, flying horses, and a giant forest. The place was amazing!

We started off down the hill, Sapphire and Ruby complaining about how much their feet hurt the whole time. It took all of my willpower not to strangle them both. We stopped in front of the big blue house. There were two men and two goat men sitting around a table on the porch.

The goat men looked bloody terrified, and the regular men looked amused.

One of the men had curly black hair, a leopard print shirt Hawaiian, walking shorts, and tennis shoes. He had a slightly pudgy belly and a reddish looking face. The other man was horridly thin and sickeningly pale. He wore an orange prisoner jumpsuit with a the number 0001 in black above the pocket. He had nails that looked like they hadn't been washed in centuries, dark circles under his eyes, and strangely cut grey hair. His eyes were wild, but more than anything else, they screamed, 'I'M HUNGRY, HEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP MEEEEEE!'

Then again, that might just be me. "Mr. D," Jade started.

"Wait a moment Jordan. Let me finish my turn." The man with the leopard print shirt said.

She waited very politely. I tapped my feet. I drummed my fingers on the porch railing. I started humming Fall Out Boy. (1) I looked around. I started bopping my head to my own humming.

After a few seconds, Jack joined in. Then Pearl, then Jade. The four of us were humming and tapping our feet and having a grand old time when the other man said, "Will you all just sit still and be quiet?"

I would've talked back, but I remembered my mother's warning. I sighed. I still looked around though. I can't sit still for more than three seconds and I can't be quiet for more than forty-five minutes. I once made a bet with my Mum that I could go for at least an hour without talking/singing/humming. I failed. (2)

After forever Mr. D finally looked at us. "What is it? You've brought five more ungrateful brats?"

"Yupperz." Monkey replied. "Heh. Yupperz."

"More of you. Great. Have any of you been claimed yet?" The other dude asked. We shook our heads. "Do you speak?"

"Yeah...But once you get me to start I can't stop. That's why I didn't say anything. I don't know what their excuses are. Though I bet-Mmph!" Jack had clamped a hand over my mouth. I glared at her.

"Thank you for silencing her. You," Mr. D pointed at Sapphire." What are the four of your names. First and last."

"I'm Sapphire Sapphire, that's my sister Ruby and Diamond Sapphire," I waved. "That's Jack Frost, and that's Sean. He doesn't have a last name."

"Okay Joyce, show them to the Hermes cabin." Mr. D finally ordered, pointing at Jade.

She sighed and led us away. Pearl and Monkey headed off in another direction.

"Joyce?" I asked, surprised.

"Mr. D gets everybody's names wrong." Jade sighed. She led us toward a cabin with peeling brown paint and an 11 over the door, which was wide open. All of the beds in the cabin were filled and a lot of people were sleeping on the floor.

"Five new campers." Jade announced.

"Regular or undetermined?" A boy asked.

Jade sighed. "Undetermined. All of them."

The other people in there sighed. Two boys walked up to us. They had messy brunette hair, brown eyes, and crooked smiles that made me clutch my bag suspiciously. One was taller than the other, but they were otherwise identical.

"We're the cabin counselors, Travis and Connor Stoll." One introduced.

"Find a spot on the floor for yourselves." The other told us, sweeping his arm around the room. He held a small glittery pink bag in his hand.

Sapphire squinted. "That's funny! That looks a lot like my bag."

"Uh, Saph?" Ruby said uncertainly. "I think that is your bag."

Sapphire lunged for the bag, snatching it back immediately. "And give me back whatever money you took." She ordered.

"She's good." One of them muttered, forking over the twenty bucks they'd taken.

"Hardly. It's just exactly what she would've done." Jack muttered.

They gave Sapphire approving looks. Suddenly, a conch horn blew.

Everyone got up and started heading out of the door. "Where are we going?" Sean asked.

"Dinner." Jade answered in a 'duh' tone.

"Yay, food!" I squealed happily.

Jade ruffled my hair as we walked out of the door.

The food was barbecue, like ribs and stuff. I noticed that everyone was putting some food in the fire. "For the gods." Pearl explained.

I shrugged and pt ost all of my mashed potatoes in the flames. I noticed people muttering under their breaths.

Hey, Dad. I thought. I hope you claim me soon so I can make you proud. Unless you want me to like, sacrifice goats or something. I won't do that. But, uh, please. I want to feel like I belong and that won't happen unless everyone else knows who I really am. That and the Hermes cabin is crowded! So please, claim me, father.

I sat down at the Hermes table. I barely fit, and Jack finally just got on her knees and ate on the ground.

Suddenly, there were gasps heard throughout the pavilion. I looked at Sapphire, Sean, and Ruby.

Sapphire had a flaming hammer floating above her head, and Sean and Ruby had little lightning bolts.

I noticed people were staring at me as well. I looked up, and gulped. Above my head was a sea green trident. The strange symbols stayed for a moment before disappearing, each leaving a slight scent of something in the air. A sea breeze, ozone, and smoke.

Mr. D stood up. "All hail Sean, Ruby, Sapphire, and Diamond Sapphire, children of Zeus, Hephaestus, and Poseidon." It was one of the only times he would ever get my name right.

We all switched tables, actually giving Jack a seat. I sat all alone.

After dinner (in which everybody stared at us in fear), was a campfire. I sat all alone. After the campfire (in which everybody still stared at us in fear), was curfew.

I got my stuff from the Hermes cabin and headed towards the cabin Pearl pointed out. A low building made of grey sea stone.

Inside were a couple of bunk beds. I took the one that didn't look used, and slept on the bottom.

The end of that night I felt many things.

I was happy my father had answered my prayers and sent a silent thank you to him. I was excited for camp activities the next morning. But there was one emotion, one feeling, that outnumbered all of the rest.

I grew up as the fifth out of twelve children. I was used to loudness, not enough space, and certainly, a lot of people. There was always somebody there.

But I had never, in my life, felt more alone.

The last part is so depressing...this is what happens when I finish Champion and stay up late in the same day. Also, Sean was on my phone earlier and said he was looking for Google Docs (Where I write my FF). When I asked why, he answered that he wanted to change being afraid of the dark. My response was, "Pfft. That's already published. You're too late." Please review and all that shiz.

Footnotes:

(1) I do this all the time. I'm either ADHD, a girl version of Leo without the Hephaestus stuff (so very ADHD), or just reeeeaaaaalllllyyyyyyy impatient and easily bored.

(2) This actually happened. Multiple times. After about the hundredth time I tried this (over a few years) my Mum just told me to stop trying. She then told me the next morning I was mumbling nonsense words like Sibuma (Sibuna) and Geromo (Geronimo) and lons-y! (Allons-y!) In my sleep.
