A/N: New chapter, which is basically me trying to make up for the long time it took me to update last time. Anyway, HERE is the revealing, I just discovered that I made a mistake with A/N's and chapter titles, because I wrote all in one chapter. Yeay for me.

Anyway, some of you have said that Adéle is a little to "Mary Sue-ish", not that I have a clue what that means, but that she has no flaws. I think you will see that in this chapter, her personality as the sarcastic girl is shining through. And I have plans for her. Now I just sound disturbed. So, read the new chapter and try to forget this messy A/N.

Adéles POV

Chapter 5, Seeing is not the same as knowing.

"What was Juniper talking about?" I stiffened, trying to listen clearer.

"Something unknown is happening at camp." I recognized Annabeths voice.

"What kind of things?" Percy asked.

"People is getting ill. Fever, headache…" She stopped. I dared to look at then a second, and found that there were just them two talking, which really pissed me of. What was she doing? And I mean, fever and headache? Sounds like the flu to me.

Percy seemed like he was thinking something similar.

"And?" He asked.

"And sudden outburst of … powers." She whispered the last word, so I almost couldn't hear her.

"How?" Percy was also whispering now, leaning closer.

"I guess you understand when I'm saying that Thalia almost killed Travis and Connor Stoll when they just passed her in the big house."

"You're serious?"

I saw she nodded, but I couldn't understand what she meant. Some kind of role playing magic game, or…?

"But how?" He was whispering so low I almost couldn't hear him now.

"They don't know, yet. Chiron is doing some research, but he can't find anything." I had to move closer to hear them.

"And what about the Gods? Are they doing anything?" I stiffened. Way into the game.

"They're trying, but Zeus is the only one who actually can help, and he's kinda.. mad right now."

"Mad?"
"A rumor says that Hera," She leaned closer to him, "has a daughter. A demi-god child."

I could see Percy's eyes widen in surprise and shock, and slowly I grasped a few of the strange things I had seen the last three days.

I gave up my hiding and walked to them.

"Hi, thirsty?" I said, handing Percy a cup of soda. Nothing for Annabeth, I'm afraid.

They both looked up in surprise, a little afraid.

"Hi, where have you been?" Percy voice was a little weak.

"Talking to Ella. Discovered something. Needing answers." I looked at him demanding.

"This is not the time." Annabeth broke in.

"I think it is. What's happening? Either way you are way into some psycho game about Greek gods, or something really, really weird is happening." And I wanna know if my date is some crazy geek…

They shared a worried glance, but before they could say anything, a big KAABOOM shook the whole room, causing students to run and scream. Automatically, I glanced at Percy, somehow knowing he would know what was going on and hopefully know how to fix it.

"What's happening?" I asked loudly as another loud bang, this time closer, was to be heard.

Both he and Annabeth looked tense, and before I could make sense of anything, Thalia and Grover was beside us, Thalia with some horrible bronze-thing that looked like a shield on her arm and Grover … without trousers? I looked down at his legs, but to scared to freak out over his hairy legs and hooves.

"Percy, we need to get out of here!" Thalia screamed as she were looking for the closest way to get out.

He looked at her, stunned.

"We can't just leave them here, Thalia!"

"Okay then," She sneered. "How will you fight six empousa, then?"

As they were discussing, I saw six girls entering the room. Struck by fright, I noticed they were all my friends. Katie, Angela, Eliza… even Ella was there. But it wasn't that which scared me. They were all so beautiful I wanted to look like them or die, which was very likely, or kill them out of jealousy. But their eyes were red, their skin pale and their hair where in flames. Under their dresses they had a pair of bizarre mixed legs, one shaggy, hairy brown and another made out of what looked like pure, glistening and dangerously hard bronze. I stiffened and wanted to run away, but I couldn't. What happened now was so terrifying, so unreal that I somehow couldn't let this moment go. I took a step closer.

"Don't!" I knew, rather than felt that Percy took my hand and pulled my closer.

With one hand holding me protectively to his chest, he lifted a bronze sword (was everything made out of bronze?) in front of him, and I realized he was going to use it on Ella.

"What are you doing?" I asked, stunned. So maybe they hadn't grasped the whole "prom" thing an thought it was some kind of Halloween party, but there was sure as hell no need to raise a sword against my best friend!

He didn't answer, just continued to hold the sword against my friends, and with me as a scared-to-death bystander, Ella talked.

"Greetings, half-bloods." She said in a formal voice, nothing like the Ella I knew.

Percy hesitated, so it was Annabeth who spoke the replying words.

"What do you want from us?" She asked, staring coldly at them.

"Answers. Gifts. Payment. Blood. Listeners. The girl." Each of them said, and at the end, a long, somehow still elegant hand pointed at me.

"Why Adéle?" This time Percy spoke, and Ella turned to glare at him instead of Annabeth.

"She's not supposed to be alive. Her mom broke the rules while giving birth to her. She need to be punished." I was shocked, not only by the whole surreal scene, but that Ella somehow knew my mom and never had told me a thing about her.

"Who's her mother?" Thalia asked, shooting a ugly glare at me as if this hopeless situation was my fault for simply being borne.

They all glanced at Percy then, and so did I, seeing his eyes widen in surprise and pain as realization shoot through him.

"No way." He said with a weak voice, looking down at our hands, still twinned together, clueless.

"What?" I demanded. I didn't understand. I mean, before, the girls had been dangerous enough to raise a sword against them, but know they were all in a discussion of who my mother was. But could someone please tell me what was happening?

"Your mother." Was all he said, and stared at me like he was seeing someone else. "She's very nice."

Now it was my turn to stare at him. World was going crazy. How come everyone except me knew my mother?

"Who's her mother, Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth asked, somehow still managing to get irritated even though we were in this bizarre situation.

"Look at her dress, daughter of Athena. Look at her hair. Look at her face. Your mother will be disappointed if you don't get this one." Ella answered.

After a couple of seconds, Annabeths mouth formed a perfect "O" and she looked at me while she repeated Percy's words.

"No way."
