A/N: Sorry that it has been so long since we last updated! Willow went to camp and on vacation but she's back and has written the longest chapter yet! Also, if Willow is your favorite character (and even if she isn't) please check out Willows little side story called "Dear Lily". I would recommend reading it before this chapter because it will make everything a little less confusing.

Chapter 11

Willow's POV

Conflicted.

That was the word that best describes my emotions right now. On one hand, I was thrilled and totally overjoyed that I was getting to leave the foster care system and live with Dina. Then, on the other hand, I was on the verge of crying because today was the day that I knew I had to tell the half-bloods at my school about themselves.

We only have a few weeks left of 8th grade. The last few precious weeks my three half-bloods have left. Left before their lives change.

But how do I tell them? It's not like you can just come out and say, 'You guys are really children of the Greek gods! Isn't that great? And to boost, there are monsters lined up to kill you!'

No, that won't work.

"Hey Willow, enjoying the party?"

I looked around to see…

"Grover? Percy? Annabeth? What the hell are you doing here?" What on earth? But why is the lord of the wild, the most legendary Protector ever, with shiny hooves and luscious fur, oh, whoa, I take all of that back. So, again, why are Percy, Annabeth and G… G… Grover.

"Hey Willow!" said Annabeth, smiling. She hugged me tight, pulled away and pulled out my knife, still inside its sheath. "You forgot this at camp last time you came. Oh, we missed you so much!" She hugged me again.

" Hey Wills!" Percy wrapped me into some kind of side hug. "Annabeth has been getting very frustrated because the only person who can beat her in a battle on a somewhat consistent basis is gone. And apparently she has also decided that the way she's going to make herself feel better is to just keep kicking my butt."

I ducked out of the hug. Yeah, I guess it is true that I have been able to get a knife to Annabeth's neck a couple of times, but Percy likes to turn that in to some big deal.

"Why are you gate crashing? What's the deal?" I asked them quietly.

"Well, a little bird might have told us that you were going to give us three new half-bloods today. And we wanted to be part of the fun."

"Annabeth, why did you let these two idiots crash this party? I know you know better!"

Uh, oh, here comes Dina.

"Alright, I'll hear it later. For now, scram! Dina can't see you yet."

They dodged into the crowd while Dina, surrounded by her usual posse. This included her seemingly always present boyfriend (and the second of the three halfbloods) Wyatt, her more recent friend Artemis, and the assorted, ever changing wannabes. I stuffed my knife into my pocket and smoothed my shirt.

"Hey, Willabel!" I heard titters from Percy, Annabeth, and Grover who had placed themselves right around the wall of Dina's house. Dina looked around but eventually her eyes returned to my face and she seemed untroubled.

"So, are you enjoying your party? Is it perfect? I know it is!"

"Yeah Dina, it's really great. Hey, can I talk to you guys?"

"Sure." She and her whole posse started walking toward me. I stopped them and signaled to Grover and Co.

"No, just Dina, Artemis, and Wyatt." The followed me around the wall and right up to…

"Whoa, who are these people?" Grover, Percy, and Annabeth were just standing there and Artemis already almost looked on the verge of a total shutdown at the aspect of not understanding what was going on around him. I'm kind of worried about how he's going to stand up to the news.

"Well, this is awkward." Said Dina, "Ummm, Willow, who are these people?"

"Dina, Artemis, Wyatt, I have to tell you guys something. You know how I kind of disappear every vacation? Well, there is a reason for that."

"What are you talking about Willow?" Wyatt looked at me with a kind of fear I've only very rarely witnessed. He stepped in front of Dina with a protective air about him. "Who are these guys?"

"Hi," said Annabeth, stepping forward, "My name is Annabeth. This is Percy and Grover, and we all go to the same camp. I've been living there almost year round since I was seven. Here, Wyatt, do you think you're strong?"

"Well, yeah, at least compared to a girl." Dina kicked him in the shins. Annabeth gave me a questioning look but I motioned for her to continue.

"Alright Wyatt, try to hit me."

"Are you sure?" She just glared at him in response.

"Okay…" This ought to be exciting.

After a second he balled up his fist and swung it at Annabeth's head. She ducked, rolled around him, pulled out her knife and had it at his neck before he could so much as turn around.

"Willow, there is a girl here holding a knife to my neck. Could you please just explain and GET HER OFF OF ME?"

"Alright, Annabeth, fun's over." She let go of him, making sure he fell to the ground as she walked back to Percy.

"Well, Wyatt, you guys aren't normal." All this time Artemis has just been standing in the background, looking on as Wyatt got his butt kicked and Dina screamed.

"Well, Willow, having grown up being my definition of "not normal" I have to ask what your definition of the word is." Oh, Artemis, always being so smart about things.

Grover stepped forward, "Do you guys know what half-bloods, or demigods are?" he inquired.

Artemis replied, "they are the children of a god and a mortal. In Greek mythology specifically they were pictured as heroes."

"Well Arty," Grover said, "You are looking at three more modern heroes right here. He motioned to Percy, Annabeth, and I. I blushed and ducked into Annabeth's shoulder like a small child. Percy and Annabeth, on the other hand, stood their ground. They were used to this.

"Willow, what is he saying? You're not a hero?" Thanks Dina, love you too.

"Not a hero? Have you seen this girl fight? Oh, wait, of course you haven't." Wait, did Grover just compliment me? Annabeth nudged me with a knowing smile as I blushed again.

"Alright, enough of this mumbo jumbo," Percy exclaimed never one to wait, "Dina, Wyatt, Artemis, You are all demigods. You all have 1 Greek god and 1 mortal for parents. You will be coming to Camp Half Blood with us at the end of the summer to train. There you will learn many things that will help you survive. Willow will fill you in on the rest later but right now, Grover, Annabeth and I need to go."

They all hugged me and left the party. A little impromptu but to each it's own.

Dina, Wyatt and Artemis looked at me and I knew I was about to get the questioning of my life.

Thanks for reading! And remember, review!

Love, Willow
