I am back with another chapter! Thank you to the people that reviewed after the second chapter, it helps lift my spirits. I hope not to sound like the people who force others to review, but PLEASE review, and it will help me keep going. Thanks.

I walked to a stone picnic table and sat down in front of the girl. "Are you the one that spoke with my mother?"

I looked at her questioningly, "Athena is your mother?" She looked as old as the girl and the boy and also as mature as they were, but she was a little accusative in her tone.

She gave a big sigh. "I'm sorry if I sound like I'm accusing you, but I haven't seen her in a few years. I'm Annabeth, daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom."

"Wait, you mean to tell me, that Athena is a god? That she's not human?" I was entirely confused now.

"Goddess, and be careful how you use her name. Names hold power." She sounded tired, like she had been up day and night looking for something and finally found it but hasn't gone to bed. "Did she say anything weird to you? Did she say anything that linked her to being your mother?"

"She was talking to my father and made him hysterical every time she told him something. She said something about a camp and that I should take my baby brothers with me because I'm old enough and that they would stay in the Hermes cabin and that the children of Athena always prevail. Then when she came to me, she gave me this paper and told me that I was a clever girl, that I would find my own way to the camp, and that she gave me her blessing. I don't get why she would say those kinds of things to me, especially to my dad. If she knew my father and wanted to be on his good side, she would've said different things that wouldn't anger him so much."

"Wait, I thought you were related to the baby boys?" Annabeth asked me. I stared at her, shocked.

"They are my younger siblings. My dad cheated on my mom with a guy and somehow had twins when I was 6. Their 7 now, me 13."

"Oh, sorry about that." She sounded pitiful towards me. "So, I guess you can sleep in the room next to mine on my left if you want. Tomorrow I'll have to call Percy and tell him that I'm leaving camp early." We started walking to one of the buildings, talking while climbing the stairs.

"What do you mean, 'leaving camp early'?" I was getting more confused by the second that I kept talking to her.

"We're just going to Camp Halfblood. Don't worry, we'll be safe. Good night." She walked me to my room. She stopped. "What's your name?"

"Grace, Jasmin Grace." I closed the door before she could say anything. I fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.

"Come on, wake up sis." I groaned as I woke up. I rubbed my eyes and sat up straight when I saw who it was. At first I had thought that it was one of my baby brothers that had woken me up. Instead, Annabeth stood near the door, waiting for me.

"Sis?" I was confused why she had called me her sister. Why would she say that? I didn't even know she existed before last night.

"Just trying it out for a change. You know why, right?" She looked at me kindly, as if I were her younger sibling. Which, technically, was true.

"Why?" Then, I got it. She saw the change of look on my face and nodded to answer my shock.

"Come on sis, let's go and wake up your half brothers." We walked out of the room and left the building. We went to the next building near the river. "They have been awake for a few hours. They've been playing with the other children during the morning. They were even up before I woke up." She laughed cheerfully. It sounded strange to hear her laugh, but then again, I didn't even know her entirely. A few minutes ago I was surprised that I even had a sister. I always thought that I was the only girl in the family, if you can call my dad 'family'.

We walked into the building and went to the 4th floor. When my brothers saw me walk in, they stopped playing with the other kids and ran to give me a big hug. "Sis, Sis, the boys are trying to prank us." Christopher complained.

"We should be the only pranksters allowed. Please help us." They looked at me with begging eyes, hoping that I would tell the kids to stop.

I looked towards Annabeth, but she just shook her head. "And you wonder why their father was Hermes."

"Is Hermes also a god?" She had told me that there were many different gods that could have children in different ways, but I never fully understood it.

"Yup, greek god of theives, travellers, and trade. Never really liked him much." She got that clouded look in her eyes then smiled. "Anyways, you all ready?"

I look at my brothers and they nod hysterically. "I guess, as ready as we'll ever be." She looks around then claps her hands.

"Alrighty then, let's go and get to our ride." She smiles in a way that a troublemaker would look at a teacher when they are about to do something.

We stand next to a car that dropped us off at a hill after sitting in the backseat for hours and I had fallen asleep. It looks empty and peaceful, qualities I rarely saw. But it seemed wrong…

"Wait here." I look at her and start to argue, but she shakes her head. "This isn't right. It always has activities that make sound. Oh Percy, what did you do this time?" She muttered the last part to herself and walked slowly up the hill, pulling out a hat from her back pocket. A hat? When she got to the top of the hill she ran. I looked at my baby brothers.

"Stay." They nodded in agreement. I ran up the hill and found people actually fighting with golden swords and spears. They were attacking some kind of creatures that were trying to kill them. I grabbed a dagger from the ground and I look for the closest monster that I can find.

Since I was looking for trouble, I found it. A big creature came towards me. It had mismatched legs, one a donkey-looking one and the other a metal. It hissed at me and charged.I rolled out of the way as it struck the ground that I had been standing on a second ago. I turned and drove the knife in her animal leg and she roared in pain, her arm slamming into my chest and sending me flying, the knife still stuck in her leg. She hissed as she pulled it out and tossed it on the floor. She struck at me, and I pushed my arms up to protect my face, her nails scratching my hands. I feel the pain in my hands, but I ignore it as she strikes the ground where I had been a millisecond ago. My head pounding, I got up fast, back flipping away from the creature. I stare at myself in shock for a moment before dodging another strike. "You half-bloods will fall to the great titans." It hissed, slowly walking towards me. I see the dagger she dropped right behind her in the corner of my eye. "You will fall alone, when your world is no longer. Lord Astraeus will be very happy."

Okay, another cliffhanger, but you have to understand me. I need to be able to keep you entertained with the surprises. Please review, and i might update again today if u do. Thanks.
