Today was Lincoln and Percy's 10th birthday and they weren't doing much for their birthday this year because they got expelled again. This was the third school in as many years this time for destroying the school pool. Neither had done anything, they just got blamed but no one believed them. Next year they were going to be sent to some private school in New York for cases like them. They both had ADHD and Percy was dyslexic but still passed his classes with nothing but As and Bs thanks to help from Lincoln and his sisters.

Percy and Lincoln were bouncing a ball off the far wall and into each other's bunk to kill time while they quizzed each other. It was how they studied and a habit they got into. But for now, they were just chatting.

"So what do you think Yancy will be like," lincoln asked catching the ball

"Probably some uptight stuffy military school that won't let us get away with shit," percy answers.

"Ya, you're probably right," Lincoln answers.

That's when they heard a call from the kitchen it was dinner.

Percy and lincoln were the first out of their rooms but it was still a fight to get down the stairs the two brothers had done this chaotic storm every day of their life. Percy used Lincoln's shoulders like a springboard to skip the bottleneck that was the stairs and was the second of the kids in the dining room they didn't know how but Lucy was already sitting in her seat.

Within five minutes everyone was in their seat and grabbing at the pizza boxes but one had already been emptied, the half meat lovers with onions and half anchovy with olives (1) split between the 2 boys and lucy.

After they had eaten their pizza Lynn sr brought out a cake with orange and blue frosting with 11 orange and 11 blue candles.

They blew out the candles both wishing for the same thing they had every year to find what they were best at and what made them special.

After the cake was cut and handed out the girls each brought out their gifts.

Lori had gotten them both new cell phones

Lily had painted them a picture of what looked like 14 people standing together each a distant colour it was an amazing piece of art for a 1-year-old

Leni had made them both jackets by hand, both were the reversible one being orange and silver the other blue and purple.

Lisa had built them both smartwatches that couldn't make phone calls but were radios stored music and had a few basic apps like GPS and a calculator.

Luna had gotten them each a pair of noise-cancelling top-of-the-line Bluetooth earbuds.

Lana had made them pocket knives this shocked the entire family but Lola where had she gotten ahold of the metal and how had she made them in the first place.

Luan had edited together home movies and digitized pictures. It was on the cloud and the entire family could access it.

Lola had gotten them both monogrammed handkerchiefs, one blue one orange.

Lynn had obviously forgotten till the last minute and had gotten them each 20$ prepaid debit cards.

And lucy had gotten them both journals with leatherbacks that had their initials on the cover.

Last we're the gifts from their parents for percy was a silver necklace depicting an arrowhead and for percy a bronze necklace with the omega symbol.

"The day you were both born the moment I saw you I knew I would care for you even if we don't share blood you are my sons and I have wanted nothing more than to protect you so you can grow to be strong men one day," Lynn sr explained as the 2 out their necklaces ending his statement by pulling the two boys into a hug.

From their, the night went on normally… well as normally as the house could be.

9 months later the metropolitan museum of art xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Since the school year started the 2 demigods had gained reputations of their own.

Lincoln was known as the soft-spoken smart kid getting top marks in all his classes and the most popular boy in school.

Then there was Percy, seen as a mischievous troublemaker with a heart of gold, any of the girls in his year that weren't swooning over Lincoln had eyes for his bad boy of a brother.

The two had also managed to not get in trouble so far this year except for a few fights. But what were they supposed to do when they saw one of the larger kids in their grade bullying the scrawny crippled kid Grover. Since then they had been the three amigos if you found any of them the others weren't that far away.

Then they were sitting for lunch after Mr. Brenner's lecture on Kronos when miss. Dodds asked to see them in private.

Now Percy and Lincoln had an OK relationship with most of their teachers except for miss. Dodds since the day she came to Yancy academy. She wouldn't let the boys so much as drop a pencil without snapping at them. Even if they got every washer right on a test she would give them Cs and Ds.

But still, the two followed the elderly woman in the leather jacket. Grover tried to follow but the two waved him off.

They continued behind the Pre-algebra teacher into the museum until they were in the Greek and Roman section.

"You've been Giving us problems honey," Miss. Dodds growled.

"Um what did we do," Percy asked.

"Did you really think you would get away with it," she said, adjusting her leather jacket.

A deep pit appeared in the boy's stomachs as a feeling of fear washed over them. They told themselves she was a teacher she couldn't hurt them.

"Get away with what," Lincoln asked.

"We are not fools, it was only a matter of time before we found you, and your brother was certainly a surprise but no matter, now confess and you will both suffer less," the woman said in a snarl.

The only thing the boys could think of is maybe the teachers had found their

illegal stash of candy they had been selling, or that Lincoln had written both of their essays on Tom Sawyer.

"Well uh.

"your time is up," she hissed turning

Her eyes burning like cole, her fingers growing and sharpening into claws, her mouth full of sharp yellow teeth, her leather jacket shifting and becoming a pair of dark bat wings, her clothes started to dull in colour, her hair sticking out like she had been electrocuted. Lincoln smelt burning flesh fills the room as miss Todd's longer towards them
