The three of us took the next few days off to help mom and Estelle settle into life. It was incredible to see her look around at everything with curiosity and wonder and letting her see the world for the first time. Paul showed Annabeth and I how to change diapers, and burp her, along with swaddling and dressing. Mom had already shown us how to hold her, both at the hospital, and at home with a baby doll. The first day I wasn't at the club on a day I was supposed to be there, Tamaki called me. "Hello-?"

"Percy senpai! Where are you?! We're all so worried! Honey senpai and Mori senpai said you and Annabeth Senpai haven't been in class since the twins made up! Do we need to send doctors to your house? Are you guys in-"

"Woah, woah, woah, chill out Tamaki!" I yell over his yelling and thanking the gods Estelle and mom were in another room, so my yelling would be faint to them. Sure, we were doing our best to make sure she could sleep through sounds so we wouldn't have to tip-toe around the house, but even so, she is still only a few days old. 

"How am I supposed to chill out?! You and Annabeth senpai have gone missing! So has Blofis sensei!"

"Tamaki, you know how my mom was heavily pregnant when you guys were over here? When my cousin was visiting?"

"Yeah? But what does that have to do with..."

"She had the baby. We've all been at home helping her recover and Estelle to settle in." 

"Estelle, huh? That's a nice name."

"Yeah. Anyways, how's everyone been?"

"Honey senpai's been worried since you ran out of the room dragging Annabeth senpai with you, and Mori's been concerned too. The twins were scared they're the reason you left, Kyoya's been nonchalant as always, bastard probably knew what happened, I've been worried sick, but thought you just had a cold or something, and haruhi's been the only one keeping completely calm." 

"That sounds about right." I sigh. "Listen, we'll be back after the weekend. We've already all called in and told them we're helping a new baby settle in, and when we'll be back, so I wouldn't worry about it too much."

"Well, too late. We're on our way to your house to kidnap you and anna-chan for a while!" I heard honey's voice say, and guessed I was likely on speaker phone. 

"What?"

"Kyoya's offered us his family's new resort before it opens, and we figured we'd grab you two along the way! We'll be there in about five minutes!" Tamaki said cheerfully.

"But we were gonna turn around if you guys turned out to be sick or something." Hikaru chimes in.

"That's why we called." Kaoru finished. I sigh. 

"Alright, alright. We'll meet you guys down there. We could use some time out of the house anyways." 

"Rodger that!" Honey says, and I chuckle, before hanging up. Annabeth, who was taking a nap next to me, groggily got up, her hair everywhere. 

"What does your club want?"

"Basically, to kidnap us and take us to a resort. Apparently, they called me on the way to get us. Might want to get dressed." She yawns and stretches, making those nonsensical sounds one makes, and nods. 

"Alright, give me just a few minutes." She kissed my cheek, before going to the bathroom to freshen up. I went down to talk to mom and Paul and let them know what was happening. 

"So, my friends just called me and are picking Annabeth and I up to go to a resort or something. We don't have much say in this, since they're already on their way, and were when they called us."

"It's fine Percy." Mom says. "Go have some fun. You've been a really big help these past few days, and so has Annabeth. Go have a good time for a while." Paul nods, holding Estelle so mom could eat. I smile.

"Thanks mom." Annabeth hurried down the stairs, now dressed in casual clothes rather than her pajamas. I rush up to change and come down right as we hear the doorbell ring. 

"Per-chan! Anna-chan! Are you two ready?" Honey called through the door. 

"Yeah, we're coming!" I call back as we go over to the door. We open it to see honey and mori in their school uniforms. "Geez, did you guys come straight from school?"

"Yeah! Let's go! Everyone's waiting on us!" They both practically dragged us to the limo, and we climbed in. 

"Percy-senpai, annabeth-senpai, nice to see you two again." Haruhi said. "Oh, and here's that book I borrowed back." She handed it to Annabeth, who gladly took it. 

"I hope you liked it haruhi."

"It was certainly interesting. Makes you wonder what it would be like if those things were real." Kyoya, annabeth and I shared quick glances.

"Yeah, makes you wonder." I agree. Tamaki looked nervous about it, and Mori and Honey looked at one another.

"What do those things look like anyways?" Hikaru asked. Annabeth handed them the book, and they flipped through it, their eyes widening. They started speaking in hushed whispers. Normally, they suck at whispering. So what's so important they're barely discussing it?

"...monsters... as kids... real?" I heard. The three of us looked at one another, and tamaki looked very nervous now. 

"Are they clear sighted?

"Maybe. It's just like with your mom. But I don't think they know exactly what they've been seeing." Annabeth and I said in Greek. Tamaki hummed, and mori and honey looked lost.

"Clear sighted?" I heard Honey say quietly. Tamaki turned his head so fast I thought it might break. Could it be? We'll have to ask when alone later. 

If they are what we think, things might just get a lot more interesting. And a lot more dangerous too.
