I'm going to attempt at making this chapter longer than yesterday's for you so happy day! If I don't manage that, then I'm really sorry. I just started up another story that will have something to do with this one and will be going on at the same time as this one in the storyline it's called The Demigod Experiment. Enjoy!

Angel POV

I woke up the next morning and took a moment to remember where I was. I was tense and alert, checking for any active minds. Then I saw Annabeth next to me and relaxed slightly.

"Hey," said a voice behind me. Instantly my knife was out and I was on foot, facing the speaker.

He was a blonde boy, with grey eyes like Annabeth's, probably one of my half-brothers.

"I'm Austin, another Athena camper," he confirmed. "Are you my new little sister, Angel?"

I nodded slowly. "How old are you?" I could tell Austin was taken by surprise by my odd question, but I just wondered.

"Um, thirteen. You?"

"Six,"

"Wow, you're probably the youngest camper here. Even Annabeth was older than that when she got here." Austin sat down on my bed beside me.

"Why do I have to be separated from the Flock?" I asked suddenly.

He stared at me funny. "Um. . .Flock?"

I gave him a little grin and let out my sugary white wings. Ahhh, it felt good to let them stretch after being tucked in so long.

Austin was still staring at me, this time with wonder.

"I can read minds too," I informed him.

He shook himself out of his reverie. "So can you actually fly?"

" 'Course I can." I nodded, "Wanna see?"

Austin smiled. "Sure, we can go down to the beach. There's lots of wide open sky there."

Together we made our way to the water's edge, where I opened my wings to their full span. The salty sea breeze wove in and out of my feathers as I leapt into the air. Austin watched me with amazement as I darted through the clouds and let my wings skim the tops of the waves.

Two more boys emerged from behind the sand to stand with Austin, and I was joined by Max, Fang, and Gazzy. Soon after, Percy came to stand in the audience while Iggy jumped up to join our ranks.

Nudge soon joined us, bringing a bunch of her half-sisters to watch. It was a magical feeling, acceptance. The fact that people here didn't shun us or turn their backs because we were different.

There were shouts coming from shore, so I made a sharp turn to see what it was about. The gathered crowd was calling out and pointing our way. My eyes flickered over the Flock and landed on Fang. Over his head was a faintly glowing purple image of a skull surrounded by sparkling jewels.

As soon as we landed, the symbol over Fang's head flickered out and vanished. Chiron was standing on the beach waiting for us with a slightly disturbed look on his face.

"Hail, Fang," the centaur called over the gathered, "Son of Hades!"

Many troubled faces were visible throughout the camp after that morning. All around, I heard murmurs of 'Two of them, what does this mean?' or 'Poseidon and Hades, wonder when Zeus's kid'll show,"

Annabeth POV

This is crazy! Two children of the Big Three claimed in as many days. Iggy and Percy were getting on fine in their cabin, they were close in age too. But Fang, however, had only Nico, who was never even at camp Half-Blood that often. Plus, there was like, a two year age difference between them. On top of that, after Bianca had died, Nico would probably completely reject having a another sibling. Of course, I didn't have time to worry about other people's family relationships right now. Artemis' Hunters were on their way right now and they were beast at capture the flag. They won even when the entire camp worked against them. Even Athena's strategies were useless against them. It was embarrassing.

Oh well, with Thalia around, it might be easier to figure out the Big Three mystery.

I turned around to see that Percy had been standing there. "So, how's your new brother? Won't Tyson be happy about another brother."

"Yeah," Percy grinned, "Iggy's great. Did you know that he can tell people apart by feeling their fingertips? Actually, Tyson's coming up today 'round the same time as the Hunters."

"That's great!" I smiled. "We'll need help if we're going to win. It's Athena, Poseidon, Apollo, Dionysus, and half the Hunters."

"Against?" Percy prompted.

Honestly. "Everyone else. But the Hermes cabin hasn't decided which team to be on yet."

"Great. Wanna practice for tonight with me?" Percy asked.

I nodded, "Sure, lead the way."

Of, course, Percy and I are very even in our skill levels, so one battle between us usually lasts a while, and most of the time ends in a draw. So we were out there for a while when the alarm rang for lunch.

Tyson arrived just then, and Percy took him to meet Iggy. So we separated and headed to our siblings. I waved bye to Percy and turned to sit, but was surprised to find Nico DiAngelo standing in my way.

"Is it true that Hades has claimed another son?" the olive-skinned boy asked me.

"Yeah," I said, stunned that Nico had actually made one of his rare visits now, when there were five other Big Three children here? My suspicions were mounting more and more by the minute.

"Where is he? I need to see him, Dad'll want him to come down soon," Nico snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Likes to hang with the Hermes cabin for company," I mumbled, pushing past the obsidian-eyed son of Hades.

During lunch, in walked the ten Hunters of Artemis. All were around their teens, all were clad in silver camouflage pants and combat boots. At the lead was the regal-looking goddess, Artemis, and her lieutenant, Thalia, with a silver ringlet in her hair to signify her leadership.

The girls marched over to the table dedicated to Artemis and sat. I watched as Thalia leaned over to whisper something in her mistress' ear, then went over to sit at the table shared by the Big Three children. She was greeted warmly and introduced to her cousins. (Nico and Fang had decided to stay for a while). I wonder what they're talking about.

Thanks for reading, please review. I would really like to know if you want matchups. Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me what they should be! Thanks!
