Chapter 8 - Andromeda and her "Father"

"She's going to the attic for a prophecy?"

"But why?"

I was seriously tempted to smack the Aphrodite campers in the face. Honestly, I even considered to erase their memories.

"No -" the dull voice inside of my head whispered. "save the charm for later "Bella". Why did Lady Chaos ask me to call you Bella?"

"Because my "full name" is Annabella, which shortens to Ana, which is a nickname for Andromeda. And she didn't think of any other name, she wanted nobody to have the same name as me. What's your name?" I thought back.

"Call me Lydia," it whispered.

"Lydia is a nice name, but why should I call you that?" I asked.

"Ahh, picky picky. My name is Lydia. If I spoke clearly, people within a 5 feet diameter could hear me," Lydia told me.

"Kay Lydia," I mentally grinned back.

I noticed the some Apollo campers were staring at me. I stared (or more like glared) back, and they had a frightened expression before turning back to the poor kid who got harassed by the Ares cabin.

"I SAID, I WASN'T GOING TO GO UP THERE! IT WAS A DARE!" I roared at the small crowd gathering around me.

"Do it! Do it!" the crowd of Aphrodite, Apollo, Athena and Hermes cabin cheered.

I climbed up the stairs.

"I said, shut the **** up!"

"WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO CUSS!"

"But nobody can hear us?"

"The ones who are trying to sleep can. And George, stop before I -"

"I get it. I'll shut up myself."

"Wait, it that a person?"

"OOH! Martha, she's the -"

"I told you to be quiet! She's already here!"

I looked at the squirming snakes, trying not to quiver.

"How much did you hear?" Martha asked, trying to glare at George.

I was pretty sure these snakes were like Lydia, but it seemed like all others could hear them too. I managed a fake laugh before breathing out my answer.

"Almost all of it!" and Martha hissed at George.

"Don't mind the snakes, they are always like this. George, stop chasing Martha. Smar -", Hermes looked very frustrated.

"Aww, come on Hermes? Just one more -"

"George", Hermes sighed. The snake gave a muffled response, but Hermes nodded.

"Andromeda, this might be a lot of information to register, but there are Romans", he finished.

"I'm not surprised," I smirked, Chaos obviously didn't tell him that I already knew. "I already know. I'm going to use the first memory charm, then I am going to Camp Jupiter."

"Yes. Or should I say my "daughter"?" Hermes laughed, then looked at his phone. "Oh, missed 1000 packages, gotta go! Ask Iris to -", the prankster god disappeared in a flash. I looked outside, ducked behind a bush, and preformed the magic. It was amazing. I headed off to the south, not even bothering to pack my things. I had already got them. Looking down at the bags in my hands, I rushed down the hill, and into the mortal world.

A/N: I don't know what is even going on at this point.
