~~~~~~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me!~~~~~~
As we walked up Brianna's driveway, hearing the laughter and screams coming from the house, Hazel turned back to us, "I think I'm going to hang out with Lexia and Lyrical, guys."
Nico nodded, "I don't want my baby sister hanging out with some of these kids."
"I'm not a baby," Hazel huffed.
"Yes you are," Nico, Thalia and Percy chimed.
I rang the doorbell, and heard a loud crash erupt from inside the house. Tara opened the door,
"Great! You guys made it!"
"We brought friends," I pointed out.
"Fantabulous!" Tara screeched, "The more the merrier!"
As we walked in, Hazel's eyes widened, "Yeah, I'm going to stay with Lexi and Lyrical."
She turned to Frank, "You go have fun," and kissed him on the cheek.
Tara turned to Lexia and Lyrical, "You can go hang out with Brianna's sister, Leanne. Leanne's a sweetheart, you'll love her!"
Lexia looked like she was about to choke, and Lyrical was trying to disguise her laughs as a coughing fit.
Lyrical cleared her throat, "So.. Where is Leanne?"
Tara pointed up the stairs, and Hazel, Lexia and Lyrical were off.
LEXIA POV
We walked up the stairs, looking around for Leanne, when I bumped into a figure standing at the top of the stairs.
"Watch where you're going!" Leanne yelled, then turned around and raised an eyebrow at us, "Why are you here?"
"My sister and her friends got invited to your sister's party."
"Then why did you two come?" Leanne asked, not acknowledging Hazel.
"The last time we stayed home alone, the couch caught on fire."
"Freak. Who's your friend?" Leanne sneered.
Lyrical rolled her eyes, "Leanne, meet Hazel Levesque. Hazel meet Leanne."
Hazel nodded at Leanne, Leanne just glared.
If only we knew what was going on downstairs…
ANNABETH POV
We quickly got separated in the crowd. Nico, Kaine, Frank and I were standing near the kitchen, Thalia and Percy were nowhere to be seen.
"I want to leave," I groaned.
Frank nodded, as Percy pushed through the crowd, running up towards Nico.
"Nico, some guys are messing with Thalia. They won't leave her alone, I think one of them's a Canadian."
Nico's eyes turned darker than normal, and if looks could kill, Nico would be a murderer.
"Oh, hell no," Nico muttered under his breath, as he ran into the living room.
Kaine, obviously was confused. I told her to go upstairs and get Lexi, Lyrical and Hazel.
I ran after Nico, to find Thalia, pushed up against the wall by a guy in a leather-man jacket. She was kicking him, one of her old hunting knives in her hand. It was clear that the guy holding Thalia to the wall was the only giant.
I pulled my dagger out of my clutch, Nico and Percy had their swords drawn. A second later, Hazel was by my side, with a dagger Thalia once gave her in hand. Lexi also had her knife drawn, and I saw Lyrical and Frank standing in the back, bows at the ready. Kaine was standing a couple of feet away from Lyrical, a terrified expression on her pale face.
We pushed through the crowd surrounding Thalia, Percy stood behind the giant, and before the Canadian could turn around, Percy stabbed him through the back. A moment later, two arrows whizzed by, and into the giants shoulder.
While he was distracted, Lexia and I went in, throwing our knives straight into the giant's chest. Hazel stabbed the giant's leg, and Nico went in for the final blow, slicing the giant in half, and catching Thalia, when the giant turned into yellow dust.
The mortals didn't even notice. The amazing power of the mist was obviously at work. We walked up to Kaine,
"Kaine, we need to tell you something. But first-" I was cut off when a golden light appeared above Kaine's head, showing a golden sun.
I glanced at Percy, mouthing, 'Hemera.' He nodded. We only had two Hemera kids at Camp, Amber and Seth, I had seen Amber claimed, I distinctly remembered the girl's panic.
We ran out of the house, it was 8:27and the next bus was at 8:30. We were in luck. Once we reached the bus stop, we started arguing over who had to explain everything to Kaine.
I cleared my throat, "I explained last time. I vote Percy."
Thalia and Nico nodded, "Yeah. It's Percy's turn."
Percy sighed, "Fine. So, Kaine, you know about the Greek gods, right?" She nodded, "Sure."
"Well, they're real."
"I knew it!"
I raised an eyebrow, "Excuse me?"
"I have dreams, a lot. I don't really understand them, but they're always about Greek mythology."
Percy shrugged, "This is the easiest explanation ever. So, Kaine, have you heard of the term, 'demigod?'"
Kaine nodded, "I think. Half mortal, half god, right?"
"Yep. You're a demigod. A daughter of the goddess Hemera. Goddess of daytime."
"What?"
"You're a demigod."
"Really? How do you know?"
"You just got claimed."
"Claimed?"
"That gold light over your head."
"Oh. That's freaky. Are you guys demigods?"
This time it was Thalia who answered, "Yeah. I'm a daughter of Zeus. Nico's a son of Hades, Annie's a daughter of Athena, so is Lexia, Percy's a son of Poseidon, Lyrie's a daughter of Apollo. Frank and Hazel are children of Roman gods. Hazel's a daughter of Pluto, and Franks a son of Mars."
"Oh, and this might not be the best time to mention this, but Leanne's a daughter of Ares. She got claimed right before we ran downstairs," Lyrical said.
"Great."
"What was that thing that attacked Thalia?" Kaine asked.
"Laistrygonian Giants," I told her.
She cocked an eyebrow, and I chuckled, "Also known as Canadians."
Frank scowled, "I hate when you call them that."
The bus pulled up, and we got in, handing the driver some money.
We sat down, Hazel wincing with every step she took. Frank looked alarmed, "Hazel, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
"No," Hazel moaned, "But my shoes are giving me terrible blisters."
I winced, "Oooh. That sucks."
"Yeah."
We pulled up to our condo building, and Hazel sighed, "I guess I'll put my shoes back on."
Frank smirked, and picked Hazel up bridal style, carrying her off the bus, Hazel squealing the entire time.
We walked up to our apartment, and changed into pajamas. I put on some of Percy's swim team sweats, and an old Camp Half Blood shirt, and washed off my makeup. Thalia put on a black tank top, and some black Soffees. I walked into the living room, and sat down on the couch, turning the TV on. I flipped the channel to the History Channel. Lexi walked in, in a blue tank top and some gray sweatpants. Lyrical came in, wearing some zebra print pajama pants, and a Camp shirt.
The others filed in, and Thalia came in, carrying a little shopping bag. The turned off the TV, much to my disappointment, and cleared her throat.
"Okay. I went to the mall yesterday, and bought a couple of things. She turned the bag upside down, and little bottles of hair dye tumbled to the floor.
I sighed, "You bought hair dye?"
"Yeah! I bought pink, purple, blue, red, aqua and honey blonde, for Annabeth, so we can finally fix that gray streak."
That got my attention. The gray streak in my hair had bothered me for a while. I really don't care about the color of my hair, but it was a painful reminder of everything that happened that day.
Finally, Hazel spoke up, "I'll do it. It'll be fun."
Lexia nodded, "Yeah… Dibs on purple!"
Lyrical smiled, "I call red!"
We all called colors, and ran over to Thalia, the boys looking on with amused expressions on their faces.
An hour later, we all had colorful hair, and stained hands. I had fixed the gray streak, and to Thalia's insistence, had a single blue streak.
Thalia had streaks of blue, purple and pink, all throughout her black hair, Lyrical had dyed her entire head red, but sine her hair is so dark, it turned out burgundy. Lexia had the bottom layer of her blond hair dyed a dark purple, (So do I in real life!) and Hazel's dark hair now had aqua streaks running through it.
The boys were in Hazel and Franks apartment, doing who knows what, and all was well.
For now.
