Annabeth

I just could not believe that we had kept her safe all these years, only to mess up now. Especially given the circumstances-

".That" Zoë asked looking at us.

Zoë

I could not believe my eyes. I had just gotten attacked by a monster! I know all of you are probably saying I just imagined it. Except that both my parents looked like pale and a bit scared, but I was still waiting for an answer.

"Um Zoë see…w...we" my mom tried to say, but she never stutters. That's how I knew it was serious.

"Dad" I asked him, turning my eyes to him. I went to pick up my book.

In response to my question he brought out his pen and uncapped it. I'm not lying when I say it turned into a sword. "Zoë it's not what you think" my dad began, but I didn't let him finish.

"You mean a monster didn't attack me, I didn't throw a book at it, you didn't run a sword through it, and it didn't explode into yellow dust" I asked him.

"Hey it was worth a try. Apparently she can see through the mist" my dad said looking at Mom.

She rolled her head and said, "Of course Seaweed Brain-."

"Wait" I said. The nicknames are normal, but I was still confused. "What happened earlier? When I looked up Mom was soaking wet, but we're nowhere near the water. And Mom there's nothing logical about it because you stared at Dad like it was his fault."

"Should we take her to camp" my mom asked my dad.

"I don't know, but maybe Rachel can help us" Dad said looking at mom. "But wait, how did we get there, the monster blew my car" Dad didn't seem upset, just stressed. He also kept looking at mom when he thought she wasn't looking.

"We could call Thalia" my mom said.

"Aunt Thalia" I asked. She was one of my aunts.

"Yes Aunt Thalia" Mom said smiling.

I will never forget what happened next, mainly because it was the strangest thing I had ever seen. My dad took a solid gold coin out of his pocket and walked to ocean. He threw the coin through the spraying water and said, "O Iris, please except my offering. Please show me Thalia Grace" my Dad said after a moment.

In the water a picture of my aunt appeared. Before my dad could say anything I ran to the water picture. "Aunt Thalia, please tell my parents they're crazy" I asked her.

"You're talking to me threw the ocean" she pointed out.

"Yeah, well we just got attacked by a monster, I threw a book at it, dad ran it through with a sword, and it exploded into dust" I said feeling I had triumphed.

She looked past me to my parents and looked at my mom. "Annabeth why the Hades is she here? Oh never mind, I'm guessing you want me to pick you up, but if you do Artemis is coming" My aunt warned.

My dad sighed, but nodded. "See you in a few Thalia" my dad said waving his hand through the message.

My mom walked over to me and looked me in the eye. "Honey do you remember the Greek classes" she asked me.

"Of course I do mom. How could I forget, you and dad always make me study and you quiz me when we're eating. Heck, even Aunt Thalia asks me questions" I said exasperated.

"Well they're all real and you're about to meet Artemis" my dad said pointing at a silver sleigh that looked suspiciously like Santa's Sleigh. Good thing the beach was deserted because the sleigh landed right next to me. Holding the reins was a girl. She looked about my age with auburn hair silvery yellow eyes. Past her, on the other side of the sleigh, was my aunt.

"Aunt Thalia" I said climbing aboard the sleigh. I gave her a tight hug. "For your information Mom and Dad are completely bonkers" I said matter-of-factly.

Aunt Thalia sighed. "As much as I would like to agree with you they are not crazy. This Is Lady Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt" Thalia said gesturing to the girl.

I turned to Artemis. "I would call Aunt Thalia crazy except I'm standing in a silver sleigh, my aunt is wearing a silvery parka and jeans, which I have never seen before. Oh and a monster just attacked me" I concluded.

"You have had quite a day" the goddess said with a smile.

"I'm Zoë" I said smiling at her. To my surprise, the goddess looked stricken.

"Zoë" the goddess whispered looking at mom.

"We wanted to…honor an old friend" Mom said with a sad smile.

"I'm so confused right now" I muttered to myself.

She finally smiled back at me. "As Thalia has explained, I am Artemis" the goddess said.

"Percy, Annabeth come on. It might take a few minutes to get to camp" my aunt said and we all climbed in. I sat in between Artemis and Aunt Thalia and Mom and Dad sat behind us.

I took a deep breath, looking first at my parents, then at my aunt and said, "You have lots of explaining to do."

Believe it or not, Aunt Thalia laughed. "She is so much like you Annabeth" my aunt said.

"At least she has my brains" my mom said laughing.

"Shut up, Wise Girl. You too Pinecone face" my dad mumbled, but he was fighting a smile.

While that was going on I had connected some dots. "Hey Aunt Thalia are you a Hunter of Artemis" I asked her, remembering the myths.

"Yes I am. I've been a hunter for awhile now" she said looking at me, then my mom.

"She forgot to mention that she is my second-in-command, my lieutenant" Artemis said steering the reins of the sleigh.

"Okay, back to explanations" I said looking at all of them.

My mom sighed. "All of the Greek gods and goddess are still alive and here in America. All of the old myths are true" my mom told me.

"I just have one question. I am dreaming right" I ask looking at my mom.

"Why would you ask that Zoë" my dad said.

"Well, I've been having these crazy weird dreams, kind of like these" I said looking around we were a couple hundred feet in the air.

My mom looked at my dad and they both looked a bit scared.

"Annabeth" my aunt Thalia warned.

Annabeth

"I know. That's the whole reason we went to the beach" I said with a sigh. "Zoë…we brought you to the beach to tell you some news" I began.

"Wait is it bad" Zoë asked.

"No" Percy said, getting this goofy grin on his face.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm…-."

"Pregnant" Percy said smiling.

"Percy I said exasperated.

"You were taking too long Wise Girl, the suspense was killing me" he complained. I playfully hit him. But any other explanations would have to wait. We had landed at Camp Half-Blood. I had really missed this place.

Thank you for reading that long chapter. I've been trying to make the chapters longer. Anyway, please don't forget to review!
