Chapter 3
"Camp Half-Blood is where we're going." My dad says, "You'll be safe there, with the other demigods."
"Other demigods… You mean there's more of them? How many more are there?" I ask, "Dad, do you have any more kids?"
Apollo is silent for a moment, and for a second I didn't think he heard me, but then it dawns on me, he has more kids he just all his time on me, and forgot about the rest of them, and a part of me feels the same can be said about Henr- um Hermes and Am- uh Aphrodite and I'm not even their kid. "What about you two?" I ask Hermes and Aphrodite, "Do you have other kids?" They nod silently. A sad look seems to go over Hermes's face but it fades quickly. My numbness turns to anger, "Why did you spend all your time on me and not the rest of your kids?" I ask the three of them, "What is it that's so great about me that need's special attention? And why did it never dawn on you to tell me who I really am and who you all really are?"
They don't answer, Apollo keeps his eyes focused on the road, Aphrodite keeps putting her hair up in messy bun and taking out again, and Hermes keeps fiddling with his BlackBerry. I'm really mad now. "Look," I say, "I'm not used to being ignored or lied to or betrayed by the people I love, so answer me!"
Apollo does, "We spend more time with you because you are very powerful, almost as powerful as the gods, and we needed to stay with you and make sure that no monsters ever got to you, we had to keep you a secret from them, but the secret got out and they got to where we, your mother and I and you, were living." He says, "I tried to save her but I couldn't save you both, we had to leave. I got Hermes to teleport us from New York to Los Angeles, and got Aphrodite to disguise us, and they've been with us ever since."
"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask in a voice that's barely above a whisper.
"Because if we told you sooner the monsters would find you and kill you and that can't happen." Apollo replies.
"So why tell me now and risk being killed by monsters?" I ask, "Am I less powerful or something?" I ask.
"Oh, no far from it you're more powerful than ever, but Zeus is threatening me to take matters into his own hands if I don't take you to the camp." My dad replies.
I nod and sit back and let what he said sink in. I'm a demigod that's almost as powerful as the gods themselves, and the king of the gods has it out for me for some odd reason, so now I have to go to some special camp where I have to train to be a demigod or whatever. I like Christianity so much better, it's much simpler.
"We're here now." Aphrodite says.
I look out the window and see a hill with a dragon on it and a pine tree with a gold colored fleece hanging from one of its branches. My dad stops the car at the foot of the hill.
"This is where you get off, buddy" He says.
I'm now confused, "What do you mean this is where I get off? Aren't you coming with me?" I ask.
"We can't Superstar," Aphrodite says, "It's, like, against the rules for us to, like, even be here at this hill."
"We're gonna miss you though David Aubrey," Hermes says, "But we can still Iris Message you, and we will."
I give him a hug, then one to Aphrodite, and then to Dad. I get out of the car and wave one last goodbye and begin my trek up the hill.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. The action will start soon in the later chapters and Ms. Love Interest shall show up in the next chapter! Review please!
