Pamela: So hi.

M: Hey...

P: We're sorry we've spaced out on you all again. We (I) really wanted to update but we (she) was too lazy to write the next chapter.

M: *Scoffs*

P: Ignore her. Plus we (sorta) suffered from blockage. We have all the ideas, know our bad guy, or is it bad guys?, and how it all works out. It's just harder to get it from our heads to the computer than we thought. Especially since its harder, working together so that it comes out in a way we both like it.

M: Becuase she is impossible to work with!

P: As you can see, we've worked out our previous issues. Now ... we have new ones -.-

M: Blame her.

P:Blame Ms. I don't have the time. I've got no life so I'm always up for writing.

M: Did you notice the no life part? I did.

P: Anyway! Here's the next chapter and-

M: We hope you like it-

P: Enough to come back and review

M: Stop cutting me off!

P: You started it!

P&M: *Begin to bicker*

Percy: Excuse me, I've got a fight to break up. Read the story now, if you can. Clearly I can't, being that I don't like reading English. Bye.

From Twin Fangirls to Demigods?
Chapter 11
When Everything Began To Fall Apart

Selena's Point of View
I sighed, staring up at the hippocampi wind chimes on the ceiling of the cabin. Silence greeted me with the light of the early had not been the best of days for the Poseidon Kids. Marítima didn't come back to the cabin. Percy said she'd gotten special permission from Chiron to stay in the Hermes cabin with her friend Tyra. I can't say I missed her too much, but Percy sure as hades did. Ash was upset over driving away our half-sister. She was determined to create peace within the family and I don't think this was helping.

I stayed in bed for only the gods know how long, thinking over the situation.
Our dad was dad napped.

We found out he wasn't our real dad.

Our dad is Poseidon.

Perseus Jackson, our IDOL, is our big brother.

Percy has a twin.

She's our half-sister.

She's a major bitch.

She's PMSing.

Or ... She needs a shrink.

A hot blonde was hired to kill us with a deadly sword.

We have no idea who hired him.

We don't even know his name.

We needed to do some major research.

I felt my mind set on that last though. Pushing myself out of bed, I threw open the silky sea green curtains and made for the drawer beside my bed. I pulled out an orange camp shirt, the sleeves coming to my elbows loosely, the necessary black bra and underwear, and some dark washed navy blue shorts. I plucked some socks out from another drawer, sliding them on and padding over to the bathroom. Locking the door with a click, I slid out of my comfy plaid pjs and into the undergarments and day clothes.

I walked out of the bathroom after a quick brushing of the teeth and brushing of the hair, walking over to Percy's bed.

"Should I jump on him?" I asked myself quietly. I looked at him.

He was sleeping peacefully, hall of his face slapped against the pillow. His hair was an adorable mess, and he was drooling. I wanted to say he was the hottest demigod ever, but he was my half-brother so that's gross. Looking at his bedside clock I saw it was almost seven in the morning.

"Might as well," I murmured. "WAKE UP!" I yelled quickly, jumping onto the sleeping figure.

He gave a strangled cry, springing up as best he could and grabbing me. He flipped us over, pointing Riptide at my throat. With him on top of me and the sword at my throat, I didn't move.

"Hi," I said as cheerfully as I could.

"What is going on?!" Ash cried. We turned our heads to look over at the girl who was propped up on her elbows, looking at us in confusion. Percy looked down at me, his cheeks turning red.

"Sorry about that Sel," he said in embarrassment as he pushed himself off of me. He capped his sword and stuffed it in the pocket of his pajamas. "Why did you attack me?"

I stared at him disbelievingly. "I JUMPED on you!" I cried indignantly.

"He was asleep. Startling a demigod into consciousness is dangerous. You could have gotten yourself killed," a voice said. Turning, we all saw Marí walk purposefully into the cabin. "Thus, Percy would have spilled Kindred Blood. In doing so, he would have gotten the Furies to pursue him. Spilling kindred blood is one of the highest crimes in the ancient world. The Furies are around to avenge those whose blood has been shed by a member of the family. Of course, they do more than just hunt down family killing fools, but had you brought this upon my brother, I would kill your sister in retaliation."

We stared at her as she pulled clothing from her drawer and head to the bathroom.

"Marí," Percy groaned, "what did I say about—"

"Oh and don't try and get into my head while I'm changing. We don't want a repeat of last time," she said knowingly. The look she gave him made me think he's accidentally seen more than he should have. His jaw dropped and he made embarrassed gesticulations.

"It was a mental malfunction! I didn't MEAN to look through your eyes that time! Gods we were trying to get used to the whole demigod powers thing! Let it go already woman," he cried. She smirked at him, giving us an eye roll.

"Boys are such goofs," she laughed. We stared at her.

*The tin girl DOES have a heart! It knows how to laugh!* I yelped to Ash, avoiding eye contact with Marí.

*Do you think she knows how to love?* Ash shot back. I shrugged.

*Maybe, if she's dating Will...* I mumbled uncertainly.

"It's not nice to gossip girls," Marí teased, turning with a flip of her hair, before entering the bathroom and shutting the door.

"Uh..." I blanched.

"What just happened?" Ash asked. We turned to look at Percy. He smiled at us. A genuine smile that made us wonder what he was thinking.

"THAT, my sisters, is one of the reasons I love my baby sister. I told you, she can be really great. I think Tyra may have slapped some sense into her last night. Ty tends to keep Marí in check when I can't. They've been best friends since we got here at age twelve. Marí's group is Tyra, Will, Connor, Travis, Blaze, and Alex. Mine is obviously Marí, Tyson, Annabeth, Thalia, Nico and Grover. We're all good friends though, but when it's not the thirteen of us, we split into those groups."

I stared at him.

We knew none of this. Then again, we'd never read about Tyra, Alex, Blaze, and there was never much about Will or the Stolls.

"She ... She laughed," Ash choked out. He nodded.

"It's a nice sound really. Unless she's angry, then it's kind of scary. I'm telling you, once you get to know her she's the greatest. She's funny, sarcastic, smart, and a REALLY good sister. It's always family first. Just trust me alright? Try to get to know her," he advised. I looked at Ash. The door to the bathroom opened and Marí walked out. She dropped to all fours by her bed and tugged out some short heeled, calf high, boots. She sat on Percy's other side as she tugged them on. Her hair fell into her face and, when she couldn't blow it out of her eyes, Percy pulled it back over her shoulders. She looked up at him, tossing him a smile. She looked at us and smirked.

"I'd love to say he's right, because I'm awesome, but I'm not easy, girls. It's gonna take you time to get on my good side. Till then, expect me to give you a hard time. After all, you've gotta love your family. Even if they act like total bitches."

"Marí," Percy sighed. "Language."

She shrugged, standing up and smoothing down her form-fitting camp shirt.
"I've gotta go train with Nico. We're headed to Italy. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Don't wait up," she called back as she ran out of the cabin. I shook myself, trying to think that this was reality. Clearly, it wasn't.

"Uh... We have to go do bad guy research," I said numbly as I feebly whacked at Ash's arm. She nodded in a daze, getting up and exiting the cabin with me after a quick goodbye to Percy.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"THIS IS TORTURE!" I cried, slamming shut the heavy leather book I'd taken from a shelf in the Athena Cabin's many book shelves. Ash sighed, resting her forehead against her own encyclopedia-sized book. We were going through stories of pretty much every god to ever exist.

We were looking for possible enemies of Poseidon.

We didn't come across any that were strong enough to cause a major threat like the one the blonde guy and his boss did.

"Sel, we're getting nowhere," Ash groaned. She rolled onto her back, the hard wood floor creaking slightly. She rested her head on the open book, looking at the ceiling. "Can we call it a day?"

I opened my mouth, ready to say yes, when the clacking of heels stopped me. I propped myself up onto my elbows, resting my chin in my hands. Marí walked in, her hair a shiny mess with sweat. It was turned up in a ponytail, wisps of it sticking to the sides of her face with sweat. Her shirt was slightly damp with sweat and she still looked hot. It wasn't fair! She was the dangerous kind of hot, considering how there was a dagger at her waist and a sword in her hand.

"Sup kiddos. I see you're looking for enemies," she grinned. "That's never a good thing."

"Funny," I mumbled sarcastically. Ash sighed, lifting her head and slamming the book closed. She sat up and looked at Marí, who walked over to Annabeth's bed. She capped her sword and stuffed it into her shorts pocket.

"What are you doing?" Ash asked as we saw Marí fumbling with the head board.

"One thing you need to know, every cabin ... Has a secret room. Some have more. You just need to know that they're located somewhere by the leader's bed. The switch should be ... Ah here we goooo," she said triumphantly. She tapped a crack on the headboard and the wall opened. It opened! A door-sized rectangle slide over into the wall to show a dimly lit room.

"Whoa," Ash and I exclaimed, scrambling up and over to the opening.

"This is the Athena Cabin Library. It's got books on just about everything. Books written by old campers, current ones, diaries from famous people that have 'never been found' , books sold at places like Barnes&Nobles, and even old scrolls with drawn out myths. You can find all kinds of books here. You just gotta know where to look," she smirked. Entering the library, she walked along the shelves, pointing at each book and mouthing things to herself. She walked along several shelves until she stopped with a satisfied 'Ah'. She gripped a somewhat average sized book from the shelf and blew dust off of it, waving her hand in front of her face. She walked out if the seemingly endless room and handed Ash the book.

"Check that out. It's got some pretty good ideas of who could pose problems for demigods and gods," she said. Then she glanced back into the library. She looked ... Nervous. Turning back to us, she became stern. "Never, ever, go in there without me. Got it?"

We nodded quickly and she dived back onto Annabeth's bed, tapping the crack in the headboard so that the wall went back to normal. She glanced at us, then at the wall.

"I've gotta go. Look through that and mark whatever seems suspicious. Get it back to me by dark. I'm off to the Apollo cabin after lights out... don't tell Percy that or I'll bald you in your sleep. Gotta go."

Then she was gone.

"I'm guessing she and Will are going out," Ash snickered. I grinned.

"And I bet they aren't exactly virgins. I'd so pay to see Percy freak out," I laughed. She nodded, clutching the book to her chest.

"Let's go somewhere else Sel. I don't think the Athena kids will like it if they see we've got a book from the secret library," she said nervously. I paused. A shiver spread through my body. A sixth sense seemed to take over my mind.

"I wanna see something," I muttered, tapping the crack on the headboard. The wall opened and I stepped into the library, my sneakers squeaking along the marble floor.

"Uh I don't think we should be in here Sel," Ash said quietly, following me inside. I shushed her.
"I feel like there's something—"

Click. We spun around to see something we really didn't want to.

The wall closed up again.

"Shit!" Ash cried, running to the wall and fumbling around. She turned to me, scared out of her mind. "There's no way out."

I froze. Small spaces. Darkness. Dust. Possibly spiders.

"It's gonna be okay, Ash," I said shakily. Swallowing my fear, I turned back and continued into the library. "I know there's something here. Something we need."

"What are you talking about?" Ash asked, scurrying after me as I walked along the shelves. I glanced at her, deciding on whether to be honest or not.

"I ... Have no idea."

Her jaw dropped. "Sel!" She shrieked.

I hushed her. "I know it's a book—"

"Well duh! Considering we're in a library and all," she snapped. I looked at the titles of the books, pausing at Twilight.

"Do they seriously have a vampire love story here?" Ash asked disbelievingly. I glanced around the shelf.

"Ash something's not right," I murmured. My eyes darted around. "Ash, look at these books. History of the Gods. Volume One, Volume Two, volume this, volume that, there's a whole set. One for each god and goddess. Now look at Twilight. There should be New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn after it. There's not. Plus, I don't see any Athena kids dying to read about the sparklingly beautiful undead. It's something they wouldn't touch ... unless they it held something important. Maybe if we opened it there'd be something inside," I explained. Reaching for the book, my fingers plucked at the top to tug it from the shelf. It started to come out. Then it clicked, and the shelf was sucked up into the wall.

"Whoa," Ash muttered. She looked into the candle-lit room of shelves. A desk sat in the corner, a lantern on its corner. Books were everywhere, and as we entered, the shelf slammed back down to reveal more books. They were all bound in grey leather, and they were all about the size of diaries. Some had labeled spines, and the others were empty.
"This is so Scooby-Doo," she whispered, setting the book Marí had given us down on the desk. She walked around and began to examine spines.
"Marítima Jackson: The Life of a Demigod," Ashley muttered. She pulled out the book and looked at the cover. "It's marked number seventeen."

I stared at the diaries. "There are AT LEAST a hundred of these things. And I mean the ones that are labeled," I breathed. Ash shrugged, putting the book back and looking for what I presumed to be the first in the saga.

"She has a lot to write," she said simply as she plucked a book from the shelf. She handed it to me, and a tingle shot up my spine.

"This," I sighed, turning to look her in the eyes, "Ash these are what we need. These books are what we need to figure out who wants us dead."

She looked at me, then at the books. Her gaze hardened, determination in her green eyes.
"Then we have to know what's inside. Open it Sel."

So I did. Reading aloud, shivers went up my spine.

Hi. I'm Marítima Selena Jackson. If you're reading this, then I guess it's time you need my help staying alive. Selena, Ashley, I've seen your fates. I know you'll find these. I just don't know when, and so I've set to writing these diaries of my life for you. If you're smart enough, then you'll find the secrets to your future within the pages of these diaries. Good luck.
Right now, I'm fourteen years old. The thing is, my life has been dangerous since I was born. Amphitrite, our step mother, placed a curse on me. A curse that allows me to see one's entire life with a simple look in their eyes. I've seen the worst things imaginable, things you'll learn about as you read. What haunts me, is that I'll never break free of this curse. Even when I die.
I managed to keep my ability a secret from my loving brother, Percy, for a long time. The only one who knew was my mother, because she was the only one who knew I was a demigod. She was the only one I could talk to about everything I knew. Things started to heat up when we went to Yancey Academy and met Grover, the satyr. Looking into his eyes, I knew we would be taken to camp within a year. My secrets began to reveal themselves when we were brought to camp for our protection. Everything started to fall apart when we found out about the Lightning Thief.
That's when everything began to fall apart...

So we hope we didn't dissapoint. This diary thing is kind of gonna be a big part of the story, so don't hate on it? Review? Let us know if you like it, hate it, hate us, or whatever you're feeling. Till next time.
