Hola guys, long time no see! Thank you for following my story and thank you to Olympic girl 21 for reviewing.
There was a slight problem with an AU. You see, I told my friends I was a little miffed about getting no reviews for this story. One of them went on my profile (it's always open on my laptop) and posted that chapter. I guess she thought she was helping me. Someone sent really really ugly reviews which almost made me cry. I'm not asking for sympathy, you guys just ought to know this. Sure, I love reviews, they make my day. But, I would never blackmail anyone for reviews. I hope you guys understand.
On with chapter 3.
Adrianne's POV:
Have you ever felt like you're falling face first onto cement from a height? I felt that way. Well, you could probably multiply the pain 2 to 3 hundred times (if you can with your ADHD) but you get the picture.
"Half blood means half human and half...what?"I know the answer, of course I did but I needed conformation.
"Greek God."Annabeth said, carefully weighing my expression like she expected me to go psycho on her. Yeah right.
Everything suddenly made sense. My dad suddenly disappearing from the face of earth leaving me with three deadly weapons, the monsters I knew I wasn't dreaming about even though everyone told me so, did the ADHD have something to do with it?
I looked at the others who were clearly waiting for me to say something. I cleared my throat and said "Uh, that actually makes sense, sort of. So, you're telling me my dad is a Greek God?" They were clearly surprised at my reaction. What, did they expect me to run around screaming and pull my hair out? Well, if so, then I was sorry to disappoint them but I was remaining sane.
"It could be your mother too," Piper said, "My mom is Aphrodite, goddess of love and Annabeth here is a daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom. You're mom could be your godly parent.
I snorted. "Yeah right, with my luck I'm stuck with the hag I live with as my human parent." Both of them looked confused so I explained further, "My mom and I don't really have the best of mother daughter relationships."That was putting it lightly, my mom loathed me. Obviously, she hadn't actually said it but I knew. She couldn't wait to get rid of me.
Annabeth, who was the 'straight to the point' type said, "That's sad, but there's a reason why we came. You see, we need to take you to the only safe place for people like us – Camp Half-Blood." Catchy name, I thought and snorted quietly.
"So, will you come?"Piper asked me. I shrugged, "Sure." But inside, I was feeling a little excited. I was finally escaping from that hellhole. "I'll have to ask my mother first though. Right, like she's going to say no. Never the less, I took out my cell phone and dialled my mom's number.
"What is it Adrianne?"She asked me with a bored tinge in her voice. I was probably disturbing her, she always in the middle of some spa treatment or massage. That's how fake you can get.
"I've been accepted into a summer camp."
"So?" She said in her bored voice. I gritted my teeth.
"So, can I go?" There was a short silence.
"I suppose. Are you going alone?"She demanded.
I sighed. "No mom, I'm going with two of my friends."
"You have friends?" She sounded genuinely surprised.
Can you kill someone through the phone? "Yes mom, I have friend. Shocking, isn't it?" I looked at Piper and Annabeth. They were hanging on to my every word. Piper's eyes somehow looked understanding and Annabeth gave me half a smile.
"You're not going anywhere at this time. Anyway, you have to pack." What is it with this woman?
"Fine, but I'm leaving right after packing."
"No can do sweetheart, you're going in the morning. Invite those two friends of yours for a sleepover."
"But mom..."I argued.
"That's final. Come home with your friends now."She cut off. I glared at my phone.
"What's up?"Piper asked from behind me.
I turned around and said, "My mom has conditions."I looked at them sheepishly from under my flicks. "How would you guys like a sleepover at my house?"
They were probably expecting something much worse. They nodded.
"That actually sounds like heaven to me. I'm dead at my feet."Piper grinned.
I snorted, "Just hope that you won't run into my mom. That would make all your fantasies into living hell."Both of them smiled.
Then I remembered what I'd told Mrs. Gupta. "Do you guys mind me checking the party once before we leave?"
"Nope."Piper said and Annabeth nodded.
We walked into total pandemonium.
People were jumping around and acting crazy. One of my favourite Hindi slow songs from the latest chick flick was playing.
"I like the tune."Annabeth murmured. I smiled.
"No kidding," Piper agreed. "Can we wait until the song's over?" I was going to agree but then I felt this weird cold tingle in my spine. Looking at Annabeth, I knew that she felt it too.
"Nope."I said. Piper frowned at me. "I promise you'll get to listen to the song. How bout, we'll see the movie too? Let's just go now."Piper finally felt the tension in the room. She nodded and we started walking towards the exit.
"Going somewhere?"A very familiar raspy voice asked.
Guess who!
