ANNABETH POV

Thalia was sitting shotgun, next to Percy, leaving Kaine, Nico and I sitting in the back, with children on our laps. Yay.

"Uh, Perce," I said.

"Yeah?"

"It's a good thing we're leaving tomorrow. Lexi's heavy."

Lexia glared at me, "Hey! It's my birthday, be nice!"

We pulled up to the condo building, immediately jumping out,

"Thank the gods!" Nico cried.

Thalia laughed at her boyfriend, "Nico, quit being a drama queen."

Nico scowled at her, and we walked into the building. Once we reached our door, we found Hazel and Frank, sitting on the couch, kissing. Well. I guess Lexi was right.

Thalia coughed, and the couple broke apart, blushing tremendously.

"Uh, hi," Hazel said.

Nico just glared at Frank, "That's my little sister, man."

Frank, who was clearly scared of Nico at the moment said, "Um… Sorry?"

Nico shrugged.

It was Hazel who noticed Abbi, still standing in the doorway, "Who's this?" She asked me.

"This is Abbi Stiekler. Daughter of Hermes. We need to go talk to her mom. You want to come?"

Hazel nodded, "Sure, just let me change. I'm still in my pajamas." And she walked out into her own apartment.

Lexi furrowed her eyebrows, "Why are you guys here?"

"You guys have food. We don't."

Once Hazel returned, we started introducing Abbi to everyone.

"Okay Abbi," I said, "There are two types of demigods; Greek and Roman. You're Greek. Those two," I pointed to Hazel and Frank, "Are Roman. Hazel's a daughter of Pluto, and Frank's a son of Mars. You already know what we are. You're a daughter of Hermes, god of messengers, thieves, and travelers. We want to take you to Camp Half-Blood, one of the only safe spots for demigods. You'll go live in a cabin with your half brothers and sisters."

Abbi nodded, "And you want to talk to my mom about this, right?"

Thalia nodded, "Yep. And then we need to go visit another new demigod's mom. Then, tomorrow, one of our friends is going to pick us up, and we'll go to the airport, and board her dad's private jet."

Abbi smiled, "Sounds good. Do you want my address?"

"That'd be nice."

Abbi recited her address, and we found a bus that'd take us from here to her neighborhood. Once we had boarded the bus, I started mentally practicing the 'speech' that I'd prepared. It's hard to tell parents that we're taking their kids away.

Percy sat next to me, "You'll do fine. You're great with this kind of stuff."

I smiled, "Thanks. I excited to go back to camp. My cabin's probably cleaner than ever, with Malcolm in charge. I gave them permission to clean my bunk."

Percy laughed, "I remember that. The rest of the cabin was spotless, and you had a pigsty."

I rolled my eyes, "I had a lot on my mind!"

He smiled, "I know… I'm so glad it's all over."

"Same." I rested my head against his chest, Percy playing with my hair. When we got off, Abbi led us towards her house.

"It's over here. You see the blue one? That's it."

We walked into the house, following the small blonde.

"Mom! I'm home! I brought some friends, and we need to talk to you."

Abbi's mom was a small blonde, with large brown eyes, and light skin. She walked into the living room, where we were all siting,

"Hello! What did you need to tell me, Abbi dear?"

I spoke up, "We need to talk about Abbi's dad."

Ms. Stiekler nodded, "I knew this day would come. You need to take her to Camp, don't you?"

I nodded, "You know?"

"Yes. He told me about Camp. I just… I don't want her to go. I know she has to…"

Abbi walked over to her mother, "I'll be fine, mom. Really. I'll write you every day, and after I've got some training, I'll come home for the school year."

Her mother kissed her forehead, "I love you baby."

"I love you too, mom. I'm going to go pack, okay?"

"Okay."

She turned to us, a sad smile on her face, "Are you all demigods?"

I nodded, "Yes ma'am. I'm a daughter of Athena, so is my sister, Lexia. Percy is a son of Poseidon, Thalia's a daughter of Zeus, Nico's a son of Hades, Kaine's a daughter of Hemera, Lyrical's a daughter of Apollo, Frank's a son of Mars, and Hazel's a daughter of Pluto."

"Will you take care of her?"

Lexi spoke up, "Absolutely. My… boyfriend's her half-brother and cabin counselor, and I'll make sure she's having fun."

She nodded, "It's going to be hard, but I know this is what's best for her."

"She needs training. Once she gets some, she can come back for the school year," I told her.

Abbi ran down the stairs, "I'm ready," She walked over to her mom, giving her a huge hug. "Bye mom. I'll talk to you soon."

The two said their goodbyes, and we walked outside. Abbi's neighborhood was next to Leanne's so we walked over.

Nico knocked on the door, and a middle- aged woman walked out, "Hello? Do I know you?"

Nico shook his head, "No ma'am. We need to talk about Leanne, your daughter."

She cocked an eyebrow, "What about Leanne?"

"We need to talk about her father."

That caught her attention, "Yes?"

"Do you know about Camp Half-Blood?"

"That's the place he talked about. He told me she'd need to go there."

"Do you know who Leanne's father is?" I asked.

She nodded, "Ares. God of War."

I nodded, "Meaning that Leanne is half god; a demigod. Demigods have a certain scent, according to monsters. Leanne needs to be trained so she can fend off the monsters. Will you let us take her to Camp?"

"Yes. I'll go get her. Does she know?"

Lexia shook her head, "No."

"Very well."

We awkwardly stood on the porch for a couple of minutes, until Leanne walked out.
"My mother said I need to go with you. Why?"

"We'll tell you later. Come on," Lyrical replied.

Oddly enough, Leanne followed us to the edge of the neighborhood. The bus showed up after a couple of minutes of waiting.

We sat down in the back of the bus, Percy next to me again.

"I can't believe how well this has gone," I mumbled.

"Don't jinx it. Man, I miss camp. The mortal world sucks."

"Yeah. I can't wait to see Connor and Lexi together."

He chuckled softly, "It's going to be interesting. That's for sure."

We sat in silence for a minute, and then Percy, being a Seaweed Brain, had to break the silence with something totally cheesy.

"Have I told you how beautiful you are lately?"

I blushed, "Shut up."

Percy sat up straighter, "No, seriously. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. And I've met Aphrodite."

My blush deepened, "Stop…"

He put his arm around my waist, "Why won't you believe me? You're gorgeous," and he kissed me.

I kissed him back, my arms going around his neck. I heard whispers from the other passengers on the bus, but I didn't care. I just wanted to keep kissing the boy I loved.

I pulled away, panting, "I love you."

He smirked, "I love you more."

"Nope."

The bus pulled to a stop, Nico, Kaine, Abbi, Thalia, Frank, Hazel, Lexi, Lyrical, Percy , Leanne and I walked out of the bus, and into our building. Once we were safely inside our condo, Leanne turned on her heel,

"Tell me why I'm here."

I motioned for her to sit down, "Leanne, you don't know your father, correct?"

She nodded, "I've never met him."

"You're ADHD, and dyslexic, right?"

Her eyes widened, "How do you know that? I've never told anyone!"

"Relax its fine. Everyone except Frank, Kaine and Abbi is too. Leanne, you're not normal."

"Excuse me?"

I sighed, "I'm just going to go out and say it. You're not completely human."

"What?"

"Do you know about the Greek gods?"

"Well, duh."

"And, you know how they used to have children with mortals."

"Yeah."

"You're one of those children. You're a demigod. Your father is Ares, god of war."

Leanne snorted, "Sure, Blondie."

"I'm not kidding. Some demigods have powers. Thalia, care to demonstrate?"

"I'd love to Annie." Thalia walked into the kitchen, and pulled a bag of popcorn out of the pantry.

"So, Leanne. My father is Zeus, god of the sky, and lightning. I can summon bolts of lightning. I'm going to pop this bag of popcorn, using my powers."

Thalia clenched her fist, and a streak of lightning came in from the open window, popping the bag.

Leanne's eyes were like saucers, "How?"

Thalia smirked, "My dad's Zeus. Percy, do you want to help?"

He nodded, and grabbed a bottle of water, opening it. He urged it up, into the air, then dropped it on himself.

He was dry, of course.

Leanne look like she might faint.

Percy smiled, "Nico, Hazel?"

The stood up, Hazel speaking, "We're children of Pluto/Hades. We have the same dad, just when he's in different forms. Nico and I each have a curse/power. I'll go first."

Hazel scrunched up her face, and my silver owl necklace came flying towards her, "I have control over gems and precious metals. Nico can control bones, ghosts and skeletons."

Nico stabbed the ground with his sword, saying "Serve me."

Three skeletons popped out of the ground, saluting him. He banished them a second later, and Leanne spoke.

"Okay. I believe you. Where are you taking me?"

"Camp Half-Blood. It's one of the only safe places for people like us," Lexia responded.

We spent the rest of the night informing Abbi and Leanne, and packing our stuff.

I was finally going back home.

A/N: Oh my gods! Another chapter! I must really love you guys… I'm in the car, and I've got nothing better to do, so I'll probably go on and write chapter 11.
