Hey everyone! I got a lot of feedback for the previous chapter about some characters and know I know how to make them better so thank you. Every author needs advice. I hope I fixed some of the things you thought were off about their characters. I hope this chapter satisfies you, especially Qinwen000 who has been asking for it constantly. So here is the chapter.

Chapter 3: The Imitators

Ash looked around not exactly sure where the person talking was. She then glanced at James who didn't was also looking around.

"We have two options really," He finally said. Ash nodded her head, knowing the two options but gestured for him to continue. "We can either go out or stay where we are now and wait for them to find us."

Ash thought about that for a minute. "Let's go out. I would prefer not to be dragged out or found by whoever our kidnappers are." With that she walked out from behind the wall James following close behind.

The first one to speak was Corrine. "I suggest you two are the two the mystery guy talked about, Ash and James. Of course I already know you, James."

Not knowing exactly what to say, James chose to stay quiet. Ash however, spoke up. "Yeah my name is Ash. Who are you?" The question itself might have been nice but her tone was flat, not really giving a hint of emotion.

"Corrine." The other girl replied. "I suppose I should ask if you know why we are here, I mean I have never seen you before, and to be honest I have already asked everyone else."

"I was kidnapped just like the rest of you. You aren't accusing me of anything, are you Corrine?" She said adding a slightly deadly tone to her voice.

Corrine was thinking of how to answer. She actually was slightly accusing her of working with the kidnappers. By looking at Ash, she seemed to look the most likely to work with kidnappers, but if she admitted that she could already have an enemy which would not be a good tactic if she wanted to live and not die, she already had been kidnapped and didn't know how far away from camp she was. Luckily, she was saved by the voice again.

"Great now that Ash and James are out and you guys are now buddies…" The voice paused and you could almost feel whoever it belonged to looking at the group of people. "or not, Anyway whether buddies or enemies, it is time for us to tell you what is going on…"

With that, five figures appeared in the room. It frightened Dexter, Seraphina was slightly frightened by their sudden appearance but kept it to herself, while most of the others kind of just stood there as if expecting it.

"Welcome to our home. We are the imitators-" One of them started but was cut off by Matt.

"The Imitators? What sort of name is that?" He said laughing at them. As soon as he said it an arrow shot inches from his head. One of the "Imitators" walked up to him and hissed in his face.

"You insult us again and next time that arrow will land a few inches over." With that the person walked back.

Kiyan, Damian, Ash, and James took this chance to look at the imitators. They were all dressed in black sweatpants and a black t-shirt. They also all had a black mask on so you couldn't see their faces. Two of them, including the one who shot the arrow, appeared to be girls while the others were guys. After the girl arrived back at the group, the person who appeared to be the leader, one of the guys, continued talking.

"We are the imitators because we can imitate whatever we so choose, family members, pets, friends, gods." When he got a confused look from Dexter, the man realized that some of them didn't know their heritage. "Oh yes, I all most forgot. For those of you who don't know, the gods of Olympus are infact real. You are all demigods, powerful ones at that. I think I will reveal everyone's heritage, just so you know who has been lying to you." When he said this he glared directly at Damian.

Damian knew he had to find some way to cover up his knowledge of his heritage. He would have to act surprised if he wanted to keep everyone from asking about his true identity.

"I will also tell you why you were chosen. You will step forward so everyone knows who we are talking about. Kiyan Xaviers." The person in question lifted his head and stepped forward staying silent. The imitator continued. "Son of Erebus, you are an incredible sword-fighter, good at sneaking around, a good thief and has a massive power that can be of value. It made you an obvious choice." Kiyan nodded and walked back silent still. He sat down on one of the chairs that were in the room.

"Damian Dapollo, Son of Nyx" This is when Damian faked his surprise. "You are an good fighter, can use darkness to your advantage and have connections that can get you into places that will assist us." Damian looked. He was not expecting them to say something about all his connections.

"What makes you think I will help you?" He asked them.

"All in good time. Next Matthew Ignis, Son of Zeus" Damian and Matt switched places. Matt scowled. He didn't want any of his secrets revealed or to be stuck here. "You are a good leader, and can be smart when you choose to be, you are good with a sword, and your personality fits what we need from you."

"Corrine Leon, Daughter of Asteria, You can control some prophecies, is good with night and can talk to the dead all helpful assets.

"Olivia Constantio-Willow, Daughter of Melione. You have power over ghosts, a gift which can surely help us.

"Dexter Finn, Son of Asclepius. Healing is always a great gift to have, we will certainly be able to use that to our advantage." Dexter looked totally confused. Who was Asclepius? Why did this guy mention healing? Dexter didn't have the answers.

"Skye Ride, Daughter of Aura. As fast as the wind, and can enchant people by playing a simple instrument, something that will certainly aid to our victory."

"Seraphina Forrester, daughter of Aglea. Charmspeak and Beauty much like a child of Aphrodite. But without all the hassle. We will certainly find use of you, of course you will still need proper training like everyone else.

"James Maius, Son of Hecate. Good at Magic, which is always a valuable asset. Also you can shape the mist, which can fool our enemies.

"And lastly Ash, daughter of…. You know I think I will leave that one alone, either way a fighter and knowledgeable person to have on our side." The man finished introducing everyone, however a few people noticed that everyone's last name had been said apart from Ash's. It got some thinking of what Matt had said about the imitators name. What type of name is that? Well coming down to that, what type of name was "Ash" was it short for something just like Matt, and how his real name is Matthew or was it not her name at all. Also why did they keep her godly or primordial or titan parent secret. They told everyone elses. Why the different circumstances for Ash? It didn't make much sense unless she had something to hide. Before anyone could voice their suspicions the lead imitator began to speak yet again.

"We will leave you a set of clothes to wear to training, you will get food in the morning as well as a better explanation. You will train for at least two hours every day, have a lesson based only for you and then you may socialize, eat, or fit in extra training. Your choice. And before any of you think of leaving, don't try, if the traps or natural dangers don't get to you first, we will make sure you suffer, that we promise. You will help us, it is your choice whether it voluntary or forced, and I would suggest you choose wisely. For now socialize, explore, find secrets, make groups, play games, oh I don't really care, just don't try to bug us." And with that they disappeared.

"So we are being held by the imitators, in a house that we still don't know where it is, and I have been able to tell one of us is hiding something big, aren't you Ash."

Sorry it was so short but I really wanted to update and end it in a good way and I think it would have lost the chapters feel if I had continued. Either way I hope you enjoyed this chapter! See you next time,
