Something tickled Mike's cheek. Impatiently, he brushed it away, not wanting to get up just yet. It was then that he heard the voices yelling over the whipping wind. Realizing he was not asleep in his dorm room, Mike's eyes snapped open.

He was sitting on the back of a flying horse, in front of a girl carrying a sword. Mike groaned as the events of the day came back to him.

"...can't fly across the country in a day," Kendall shouted to the other flying horse.

Adam nodded and shouted back something about a safe house.

Within moments they landed in a small clearing. Kendall helped Mike off his horse and into a small house.

"What is this place? What's going on?"

Kendall answered only his first question. "It's a demigod safe house. My sister Annabeth built it, along with Adam's sister Thalia, and a friend of theirs. They're all over the country. Annabeth showed everyone at camp where they are so we could all use them."

"Who are you?"

Kendall sighed. "I look around for food. The last people to use this house probably left something."

Adam knelt outside the doorway. He had made a small pile of leaves, twigs, and wood. A small spark came out of nowhere, and the pile caught fire.

"How did you do that?"

The older boy glanced up. "We'll explain over dinner."

The three teenagers sat around the small fire, eating some canned soup Kendall had somehow come up with. The moon was but a crescent. If it weren't for the flames lighting up their small circle, Mike would not have been able to see the other teens' faces.

"Alright," said Kendall adding some leaves to the fire. "What's your first question?"

Mike glanced around the campsite. "Where's Xil?"

"He's still at school. Taking two students away and leaving only a pathetic explanation - sorry Adam - would have... well, let's just say the Mist would have to be working really well, and no one would be there to help it along. He'll be at camp as soon as the school year's up."

"Mist?"

"It's what keeps mortals from noticing things like the hellhound in your class today. Very useful."

"You say mortals... like, you're not."

"That's not a question," Adam jumped in.

Kendall sighed. "We're half mortal. We didn't want to tell you because you're easier to find if you know. But we're half mortal, half god."

God? Like... all powerful, immortal...God? God never had children.

Adam snorted. Looking up, Mike noticed both teenagers watching him and holding back laughter. Had he been saying that out loud?

"It's hard to believe at first," Kendall said sympathetically. "But it's true. My mother is Athena, greek goddess of wisdom."

"Which she did not inherit," Adam piped in.

Kendall shot him an annoyed glance. "My idiot boyfriend over there is a son of Zeus. Since Zeus is the king of the gods, his children are usually pretty powerful. The only ones to have been claimed in the last century or so are Thalia and Adam. Thalia at least, was amazing in battle."

"I have been fighting monsters since I was five years old," Adam protested. "I could kill you any day."

"But why would you want to?" Kendall asked sweetly.

Mike bit back a laugh. If you could ignore the fact that they were completely insane, these guys were actually pretty funny.

"So you guys are children of the gods?" They nodded. "And I am too?" They nodded again. "So who is my parent?"

Kendall and Adam exchanged a glance. "We don't know yet," the girl explained. "You're what... fifteen?" Mike nodded in confirmation. "You should have been claimed by now. It's part of the deal the gods made when my sister Annabeth and Percy Jackson saved Olympus 'bout twenty years ago. Percy, he was Poseidon's son and extremely powerful. He ended up fulfilling the first Great Prophecy, and saving the world from the Titan lord Kronos. Percy was offered immortality, but turned it down. Instead, he made the god's promise to claim all their children before they reached 13. Besides the lapse a few months later when the second Great Prophecy was fulfilled, they've pretty much kept their word. So it's strange that you haven't been claimed yet."

"Is your life always like this? Just constantly saving the world?"

Kendall smiled. "Not always. Occasionally, out of all the heroes at camp, you get someone like Percy, or Annabeth, or Jason but that's a really long story. Their names will be remembered forever. I know the story of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, but I've only seen him once when he and Annabeth came back to camp. They're like celebrities at camp."

"Will I ever meet them?"

"Maybe. Who knows. They mostly stay at their home. They may have saved the world, but now they're enjoying life as a semi normal family. The got married about ten years back. Huge celebration at camp. Demigods don't normally live long enough to get married and raise a family, but Percy and Annabeth are in their mid thirties by now."

"We don't usually live long enough to get married?"

Kendall looked pained.

"We should get some sleep," Adam said, looking worriedly at his girlfriend. "We're getting up early tomorrow."

Mike lay awake long after the other two had fallen asleep. At this time last night, he had been studying for his biology quiz. (It hadn't turned out so well). Now he was lying in the middle of nowhere, in a sleeping bag he had found in a tiny house in the middle of the woods, with two people he'd met today, and would never be going back to Rochester's. It was strange how fast your world could be turned upside down.

A/N: So that was supposed to be longer, but I decided to make it into two chapters instead of one. Now they won't get to camp until the fourth chapter. Please review!
