Please review! :) Thanks if you do! Ladea is 16, with Jay as her boyfriend. Fiona is 13 with Mason as her boyfriend. Well, soon-to-be because this is start of their relationships. This is kind of like an intro, so no fighting or prophecies here... :P This is my last chapter before Christmas and I'll post the next one the day after the day after Christmas! (That will be a follow-up before their "quest") BTW - Happy Christmas Eve guys!

Fiona

I pursed my lips. Mason was right there. His ebony black hair was tangled and loose, and his hazel eyes were breathtaking. I was quite tempted to kiss him, but I restrained myself. His hand slipped into mine.

"Nothing's gone wrong . . . yet," Mason laughed. I smiled gratefully at him.

"But the Third Great Prophecy . . . " I sighed.

"It might not be us," he suggested.

I smirked, "Of course it's not. Totally. That's why Poseidon's kin is in the prophecy."

"See? You just said so yourself!" he laughed, wrapping an arm around my waist. It sent a sharp tingle up my spine.

I rolled my eyes and sighed. "You know what I meant!"

He shrugged and leaned into my face. Butterflies flew wildly in my stomach. I leaned in too, and we kissed. He looked at my face and I blushed.

"Fiona?" he asked uncertainly.

"Huh?" I reply.

"My mom . . . Demeter . . . she spoke to me. She told me," he cringed, "That it was dangerous."

"What?" I ask softly.

"Athena and Poseidon's kin. They were not the best with one another, and if they came together . . . " his voice broke off.

"So you're breaking up with me?" I say gently.

"Fiona . . . "

"I'm okay with it," I growl.

"I didn't say that!" Mason replied earnestly.

"But you meant it," I concluded, storming off.

Ladea

"What?" I retort.

"Ladea. Please," Jay pleaded, his eyes wide.

"Fine," I sigh. "Where and when?"

Jay broke into a large smile, "Tonight. Meet me near the fields."

He turns away and heads out of the cabin, his light brown hair follows.

I like him, but I do not like to admit it. He was a child of a child of Aphrodite, which was a bit awkward since my best friend, Nerita, her mom was a child of Aphrodite too.

I smile and finish up my email to Nerita.

Hey, Nerita! This is Ladea...

Guess what? Jay and I are going on a date 2nite. :)

We're meeting near the strawberry fields. They are REALLY good this year.

Chiron says that they haven't been this good in a century. Hurry and come, you need to taste them.

By the way, how is Liam doing? ;)

He is pretty cute, but he kind of looks like my mom - well, he is a Athena kid.

Kiara says that she hates being an Aphrodite "kid", but she has awesome powers. :/

Her dad is an Ares demigod. She's pretty and good at war and fighting and she can charmspeak a bit.

Kiara is dating Owen, but she doesn't think it's going well.

Fiona is so mad at Mason - they broke up! :o

Well, that's what is going on. And some big Third Great Prophecy. :(

I don't want to be a part of it, but my dad fought Harintok. And, I don't think he'll be kept back

for more than 10 years. My grandpa said that he was hardly weakened, and his troops will be gathered.

Why can't those stupid monsters just take a break for once? It would do us all some good!

See you soon!

I press the send button. Someone knocks on the cabin door. I open it and see a wide smile on a boy's face. He had wild, crazy curls astrewn up his deep black hair. He was lean and not very tall, with a goofy grin and caramel skin. Owen Remidos. Child of Leo Valdez and Jasmine Remidos. Jasmine Remidos was a descendant of demigods - one half Apollo and the other half Hestia. So, Owen was quarter human, quarter Apollo, quarter Hestia, and quarter Hephaestus. Pretty weird.

"Hey," he said, out-of-breath. "Chiron wants us to meet at the Big House."

"Okay," I grabbed my sweater and headed out.
