Lilah's P.O.V

Camp Half-Blood, in a word, is beautiful. The forest, the vintage-looking cabins, the crystal lake, the strawberry fields, and the volleyball pits, all of it, amazing.

Diana rushed off as soon as we were out of the forest, "to the Big House", she explained. Something about getting Milliken back to normal.

However, she left me in 'capable' hands, also known as Jessica, a girl with storm cloud color eyes, and long wavy blonde hair. She was one of Diana's best friends, and a daughter of Athena.

At the moment, she was dragging me over to the Big House. "And the Big House completes our tour. I already explained it to you on our way to the volleyball pits, so that's it." She gave a nod and turned to face me. We were standing in front of the blue house.

I liked Jessica. She was smart, knowledgeable, nice, and sarcastic. My kind of girl.

"Thanks." I gave her a genuine smile, working my "Kansas Charm".

Jessica laughed. "Anytime. And if any of those Hermes boys give you any trouble, just let me know, and I'll take care of 'em."

"You talking about me again? I know you've a crush, but seriously, this is getting a little bit creepy….." Milliken sauntered down the stairs with a smirk plastered to his face.

Jessica rolled her eyes and glared at him. "Only in your dreams."

Milliken laughed. "Your comebacks suck, Dimitri."

Jessica glared at him some more and snatched at my wrist. "We're too busy for you, Milliken. We're on a tour."

Milliken arched his eyebrow. "Well, I brought her here. And I do believe you just finished your tour."

"Stalker much?"

"Absolutely." Milliken gave a cute lopsided grin.

"Go away."

"Never."

"Besides, I bet Diana did most of the work to get Lilah here." Jessica snapped. It was obvious she had a short fuse when it came to Milliken.

I was getting a little uncomfortable. "Well, I probably should go talk to the guy in charge…?"

Jessica blinked, her face turning red. "Yeah. Wow, I can't believe I forgot…."

"No worries." I assured her.

Milliken turned his lopsided grin towards me. "I'm glad you're here, Lily." He winked at me, then walked past me, his arm brushing mine. My heart jumped to my throat.

Jessica looked worriedly at me. "No, Lilah. No. Not Milliken. He's a son of Hermes. Hermes, Lilah."

I gave Jessica a look. "I don't like him. And who are you to tell me what to do?" I bristled.

Jessica put her hands up in an I surrender gesture. "Sorry. I don't even know why Diana even keeps him as company."

"Because he's…well, it's hard to explain." A voice sounded above us. Diana. "Chiron wants to speak with you. Actually, with all of the cabin leaders. It's important. Can you get Annabeth?" She asked Jessica.

"Sure thing." Jessica gave Diana a shrug, then turned around and sprinted off.

Diana gave me a smile. "C'mon. Let's go see Chiron and Mr. D."

I joined her and together we made our way into the house. It was pretty inside, but it gave my heart a pang. It reminded me of my own home back in Kansas.

Diana must have seen the look on my face because she gave my shoulder a nudge. "It's alright. You can call everyone after the meeting." That made me smile.

She lead me to a patio/sunroom, where a pudgy guy in a tiger-print button up shirt and a guy in a thin scraggy jacket and a wheelchair sat around a ping-pong table surrounded by brown metal folding chairs.

"Chiron, Mr. D, this is Lilah Reed, the new girl." Diana introduced me.

"Claimed yet?" The pudgy guy said in a flat tone as he reached for a can of Diet Coke.

Diana sighed. "Not yet, sir."

"Great. Age?" The guy said, sizing me up.

"Ummm….." Diana turned towards me.

"12, turning 13 next week." I supplied helpfully.

Diana gave a grateful smile just as a pretty girl with emerald eyes and brown curly hair holding hands with an extremely cute guy with elfish features walked in and settled into the metal folding chairs.

"Katie, Travis." The scraggly-looking guy acknowledged them.

"Sup, Chiron?" The boy, Travis, asked with a half-nod. He reminded me a bit of Milliken.

"Not much is "Sup", Travis." The guy, Chiron replied.

Another boy rushed into the room. He was almost an exact copy of Travis, but was a little bit shorter. "Thanks for ditching me, guys."

"Anytime, Connor." Katie said, laying her head on Travis' shoulder.

People filed in, ranging from a girl identical to Jessica, just a bit older, to a guy with shaggy black hair and bright, sea-green eyes.

"Peter, Annabelle, thanks for joining us." Mr. D, the pudgy guy, said sarcastically.

"Well, Mr. D, Percy, and I were in the middle of climbing the lava rock. Sorry, sir." The girl emphasized on Percy's name.

"Yeah, what Annabeth said." Percy said, correcting Mr. D in Annabeth's name.

Mr. D rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

"Where is Milliken? He should be here; he helped to bring Lilah here." Chiron asked.

"Oh, he can't make it. He's busy." Connor informed him. Travis nodded, confirming it.

"Well, then, let's get started. This meeting is now in session." Chiron announced, getting out of his chair, then beating his hoof against the ground. He sat back down.

It's a good thin Jessica explained what Chiron was, or I would've fainted on the spot.

"Well, me and Milliken brought Lilah Reed," Diana pointed at me. "Here to camp. We rescued her from a bad situation in her barn in Kansas. On our way to camp, vines grew around the car, and grabbed Milliken and I and restrained us. However, when the vines receded, we noticed the backseat, where Lilah was, was untouched."

So they had noticed too. At least I knew I wasn't crazy. At least not yet.

Katie lifted her head from Travis' shoulder. "Vines?" She asked with interest.

"Yes." Diana confirmed. "And Lilah was upset over us making her leave her home."

Murmurs broke out in the people around the ping-pong table.

"Well, then I think it's obvious who her godly parent is." Katie said.

Diana gave me a worried look. "Actually, Katie, I don't think Demeter is her mom…."

Katie looked confused. "What? What are you talking about?"

"I think her mom is…well…"

"Spit it out! We have no time for this!" Mr. D demanded.

"Well….I think her mom is Persephone."

Persephone. Yes, of course! I could remember- that was what my mom's name was!

Diana looked at me. I gave her a nod and a smile, to let her know that I thought she was right.

Katie's face was covered with shock.

Everyone seemed to start talking at once.

"No way-"

"As if!'

"Peresephone?"

"Oh boy…."

"Wait until she meets Nico!"

"Quiet!" Chiron silenced everyone at once.

"The goddess of Springtime and Flowers is her mom. Allegedly." Mr. D clarified, mostly to himself. "I can sense a biiiig dispute on Olympus soon."

The goddess of Springtime and Flowers? Yeah, right. Doubtful. If I was, then I wasn't a very good one.

Then before everyone, a glowing symbol appeared: A pomegranate.

Gasps filled the room.

"It is true. All Hail Lilah Reed' daughter of Persephone, goddess of Springtime and Flowers, Queen of the Underworld." Chiron announced, bowing his head.

I gulped. I wasn't just not a very good daughter, I was a fail, even if no one knew it yet.

I was an Epic Fail.

A/N: Ta-da! Lilah has finally realized how much of a fail she is…. Poor little, misunderstood girl. Sorry, I lied, I didn't explain where those troublesome vines came from, mostly because I wasn't sure how to incorporate it, along with a few other things, so next chapter might be a bit of a filler, but still important all the same. Sorry for the shortness, but I just have to get back into my writing groove. The next chapter will be better, I promise! I want your thoughts and inputs- so please review!

My Playlist For This Chapter:

1. Animal- Neon Trees (coughcoughMillikencoughcough)

2. Moves Like Jagger (For some reason, it inspired me…)

3. Decode- Paramore (LOVELOVELOVE)

4. Enchanted- Taylor Swift (If you know why this song is on this chapter's play list, and you tell me in a review, you can create a character that I will feature as a semi-important person in future chapters!)

5. I Miss You- Miley Cyrus (Lilah cries for you, Ray-Ray, Benjamin(Her Dad), Adam…)

Speaking of Adam, it looks like Lilah's already forgotten about Adam… I sense a love triangle coming on… and with those sons of Hermes, who knows how many girls in camp like Milliken? ;) You'll have to wait and seeeeee…;)
