My phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and looked at the screen. Za-Za. I pressed the green button and pressed the phone against my ear.
'Yes?' I asked.
'Two girls. Raven black and blonde hair. Both blue eyes. Bring them home. They're Raven and Angelina.
'Are you sure?' I asked.
'My visions are never wrong.' Za-Za replied.
'Yeah, okay.' I said. 'See ya.'
'What did she say?' Lucas asked. I leaned to him and whispered in his ear.
'Za-Za says they're Raven and Angelina. Y'know, mom's stepsisters. We need to take them home.'
His eyes widened and he glanced at them.
'Okay.' He whispered.
'Do you want to know why I look so much at that drawing?' I asked.
'Of course.' The dark haired girl replied immediately. I guess she is Raven and the other is Angelina.
'Come with us.' I said.
Raven looked at Angelina, who nodded.
Raven looked back at Lucas and I. 'Lead the way.' She said.

---------------------------

'Hello? We're home!' I yelled as I opened the door.
'Living room!' I heard Za-Za shout from upstairs. I led Raven and Angelina to the living room. Only Esperanza.
'Where's mom?' Lucas asked.
'I'm here!' Her voice called from the bathroom. 'Wait a second, I'm coming!'
Angelina froze. 'T-that v-voice. I know that voice.' She mumbled. She looked at her sister. 'I've heard it in my dreams as long as I can remember.'
'I've got the same with the girl from my drawing.' Raven said.
Suddenly mom came in. She froze when she saw Raven and Angelina.
'No way.' She whispered. She slowly came closer to them and examined them.
'Raven? Angelina? After all this time?' She whispered.
'Wait, how do you know our names? What are you talking about?' Raven said, taking one step away from mom.
Mom smiled sadly. 'Of course, you don't remember me. But you do remember my face and voice, don't you?'
Raven and Angelina slowly nodded.
'Raven has got a drawing of you from the time you met dad.' Lucas said.
Mom looked at us. 'How did you find them?' She asked. Her eyes were filled with tears.
'We literally ran into each other.' I replied.
She nodded and turned back to the two girls. 'And where are my manners? Please, sit down. Do you want thee or coffee? It can take a while to tell you all of it.'
'Thee, please.' Angelina said.
'Coffee.' Raven said. Mom disappeared into the kitchen and we sat down at the couches.
'Are you her children?' Raven asked.
'Yeah, we are.' Lucas replied.
'Triplets.' I said.
'But I'm the oldest.' Esperanza added.
'And you're twins, right?' I asked.
'Yeah, is it that obvious?' Raven asked.
'Mom talked a lot about you two this week.' Lucas said.
'Since Maria and Charlie started about a girl who punched her teacher.' I continued.
'And who is called Raven.' Esperanza said.
'And when mom heard this girl had a twin named Angelina, she fainted.' I added.
'Do you always do that?' Angelina asked.
'What?' We asked in unison.
'Finishing each other's-' Raven started.
'Sandwiches!' I squealed interrupting.
'That's what I was gonna say!' Angelina giggled.
'Oh, great. Another fangirl.' Raven groaned.
'Ask me about it. I share a room with her. I'm hard rock like My Chemical Romance, she's soft pop like Taylor Swift.' Esperanza said.
'She's amazing!' I protested.
'A Killjoy, huh?' Raven smirked.
'You're one too?' Esperanza asked happily.
'Are there only two members of Twenty Øne Piløts?' Raven asked as reply.
Esperanza grinned. 'We really nead to hang out sometimes!'
'Sure, girl.' Raven said.
'Looks like you're already bonding.' Mom said suddenly. She walked in with a tray with cups. She handed all the cups to everyone.
'You have nice kids, uhm.. What's your name again?' Raven asked.
Mom smiled sadly. '(Y/N) Valdez.' She replied. She sat down facing the twins.
'You have nice kids, (Y/N).' Raven smiled. 'But anyway, you were going to tell us something?'
'Yeah, I know.' Mom said and sipped from her (F/H/D). 'It was 18 years ago, my mom and her boyfriend took me and my best friend Dexter with them outside New York for a picnic. We just had set everything up when her boyfriend started acting weird. He kept glancing at me hungrily, his voice was lower than usual, and his expression was really dark. When Dexter asked if he was okay, he changed. And I mean really changed. His body changed to a lion's body and he got a tail with a lot of spikes, I later got told that they were poisened. He still had his face. He attacked us. Dexter and I barely escaped. But my mom...' Mom stopped and wiped away her tears. 'She stopped that beast, called a manticore, but died in process.'
'I'm sorry.' Angelina said.
Mom shook her head. 'I've learned to let it go. Just got taken away in the moment.'
'Please, continue.' Raven said.
'The monster chased us to this camp. When we were almost there, I tripped and hurt my ankle. We wouldn't have made it if Leo, my husband, and his friends weren't there. One of his friends helped me past the border. He checked my ankle and told me it was broken. He wanted to bring me to the camp's infirmary, but no way I was going there, so I healed myself.'
'Healed yourself? How can you do that?' Raven asked confused.
'I will get there later. But I healed myself and took my ring.' Mom showed them her ring. 'And it changed into a sword.' She took off her ring and threw it up and it was a sword when she caught it again. She changed it back to a ring and put it back on. 'I used it to kill the monster. Why didn't I do that earlier? I don't know. I was a scared 16 year old girl. I already lost my mother, but I wasn't going to lose my best friend the same day. After I killed the monster, I talked to the camp leader, Chiron. He told me what that monster was and would happen to me after that. I asked him if there was a chance to leave the camp, because I needed to pick up some stuff from my home. He said I could go the next morning. But me, being a rebellious, I left the camp a few minutes later with Leo and his friend who helped killing the manticore. His name is Nico. He travelled us close to my home. We went in. The babysitter was there. I sended her away, after erasing her memory of me, mother and my two little sisters. Leo and Nico got my sisters while I packed my bag. When we were done, Nico brought us back. I found a place for them in one of the cabins. The ones in that cabin were the most mother-like people, so I was sure they would look after my sisters. Later that night at dinner, I got claimed. By the god Apollo.'
'You're kidding, right? He isn't real.' Raven said.
'He is as real as any other Greek or Roman god, Raven.'
'Rose also mentioned them, remember?' Angelina said.
'I don't care. They aren't real.'
'Would you like a proof?' Mom asked.
'If you can proof it, yes.' Raven said.
'Do you know which god Apollo is?' Mom asked.
'Healing, music, prophecies.' Angelina replied.
'The most easy form to proof Apollo's existence is healing a wound.' Mom said. She summoned her Mist and a knife appeared in her hand.
Angelina screamed in surprise.
'No worries, I am not gonna harm you.' Mom smiled.
'Mom?' I said.
'Yes?' She said turning to me.
'Can I do it?' I asked.
'I don't think that would be good.'
'But mom! I can heal myself as you can!' I protested.
'If she really thinks she can heal herself, let her do it.' Raven said challenging.
Mom sighed and handed me the knife. She also handed me a towel to catch the blood. I placed the towel on my lap and took the knife in my hand. I carefully cut my hand, flinchin in pain, and made a big wound. I placed the knife on my lap and showed the twins my hand. Angelina looked like she was going to puke but Raven looked unimpressed. I took a breath and closed my eyes. I concentrated my energy on my hand and felt the bleeding stop and the wound close. Soon there wasn't any pain. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Raven's shocked expression. I smiled at her.
'Okay.' Raven said with a dry voice. She cleared her throat. 'He's real. The others probably too. Continue.'
'Alright, where was I?' Mom asked.
'Claimed.' Lucas replied.
'Ah, yes. There. I can skip some parts, like how Leo and I got together, me being possesed by the Titan of destruction, me almost killing Leo and me coming back from dead.'
'Oh, I want to hear that!' Raven said.
'That's not even important. But let's go to the part that is important. When I wanted to visit my sisters like I do every day, they weren't there. They were kidnapped. Leo, Coach Hedge, who is a satyr, and I went to search for them. We met some people on the way to the place where we thought they were hiding. And the five of us defeated the kidnappers and brought the girls back to camp. I talked with Chiron about it and we came to the same conclusion. A 16 year old girl can't raise two little girls of only half a year old alone. Especially at a camp like that where there is always some trouble. I was forced to give my two little sisters to adoption.'
'And what are their names?' Raven asked.
Mom waited for a minute. She kept looking from Raven to Angelina and back. 'Raven and Angelina.' She said at last.
The twins gasped.
'You are lying, right?' Raven asked.
'Was I lying about Apollo?'
'You're our sister?' Angelina asked.
'There is one more detail. The woman which I thought she was my mother, wasn't my real mother. My real mother was Hecate, goddess of magic.'
'Wait, both your parents are gods?' Raven asked. 'Doesn't that make you a goddess?'
'Yes, I am a goddess. But I choosed to be a mortal goddess.' Mom replied.
'Why?' Angelina asked.
'Because of me.'
We all turned to the doorway. Dad was leaning against it smirking. 'She turned down immortality for me and all of our friends.' He walked in and sat down next to mom.
'What is a life if you see all the people you love die?' Mom asked.
'It's a hell.' Dad replied.
'I ship it!' Angelina squealed. And slammed her hand on her mouth.
Mom giggled. 'You and Destiny would be good friends.'
'I'm sure of that.' I smiled at Angelina.
'I hope you aren't hitting on her, sis.' Lucas said jokingly.
I glared at him. 'I already have Silena and she's perfect.'
'So you're lesbian?' Raven asked me.
'Yeah.' I replied.
'Cool. I'm panromantic demisexual.' She said.
'That's a mouth full.' Dad chuckled.
'It's nothing.' Raven shrugged.
'Okay, back to the point. You are telling us, that our parents aren't our real parents and that you're stepsister?' Angelina asked.
'Yes.' Mom replied.
'So you're our brother-in-law?' Angelina asked dad.
'Now you're saying that, I am.' Dad responded.
'So they're our nieces and nephew?'
'We are.' We said in unison.
'We're aunts?' They exclaimed together.
'Yes, you are.' Lucas said.
We kept talking for a while till Angelina suddenly gasped.
'We have to go! Mom will be pissed if we're late for dinner!' She said.
'Well, what if you have dinner with us?' I suggested. 'Dad can make his amazing tacos.'
'Sounds nice. I will call her.' Raven said and took out her phone.

Soon all seven of us sat around the table chatting and eating.
