The New Demigods and...a mortal

Chapter 12: Before CHB

Annabeth's POV

We had fun at the mini sleepover, we spent the night telling Leste and Nat all about the awesomeness of Camp Half Blood! Oh gods, did I just say "awesomeness"? I mean, it's a normal word but usually children of Athena use more proper words. Mom would be displeased at me. I supposed Leo had rubbed off on me a little...

Nat unlocked the door to her semi-detached, I must say, the architecture of their house is quite nice. I wonder who their architect was. Maybe he/she was my half-sibling? Ugh stupid ADHD, getting me off track. Anyway, a lady and a man came to the door.

"Nat! Leste!" the lady exclaimed immediately, embracing the twins.

"Mom, these are my friends, all of them are demigods too. Annabeth will explain to you some stuff if you want?"

"Hi everyone, just call me Violet, I'm the twins' mom. This is John, their stepdad. Please come in."

"Hi Violet, hi John! Nice to meet you!" all of us chorused.

I sighed. Why was it always me who had to do the explaining? Twice in two days, just barely 12 hours apart.

"Before we tell you everything else, I guess we should each introduce ourselves. I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. We already saw each other over the Iris-message yesterday. Here's Thalia, daughter of Zeus, Nico, son of Hades. Travis and Conner Stoll, sons of Hermes. Katie Gardner, daughter of Demeter. And last but not least, my boyfriend Percy-or Perseus- Jackson, son of Poseidon. I have to warn you, Violet, that since there are so many of us together, and also, we have three children of the big Three, the most powerful demigods with the strongest scent, we might have a monster attack."

Right on cue, a ferocious hellhound leapt through the windows, breaking the glass and messing up the house.

Violet's POV

When Leste and Nat told me that the guy I had fallen in love years ago , twice, was a Greek God, I thought they were joking. I mean, they were in Greek Myths! They said they needed to go to a camp for demigods like them, I immediately refused. I know I hurt them when I told them that John wasn't their biological dad, and I knew that one day they would want to look for him, but I didn't know it would be now. And that Fred was a God, of all things! I just wanted to keep my precious twins with me...and I know John would also want to, he might not be related biologically, but he treats them as if they're his own flesh and blood. Until that girl, Annabeth said that she too was a demigod and that the twins were in danger...I knew I had to let them go, for their safety.

I was surprised when they came home today, bringing so many demigods with them. Just when Annabeth warned us that there might be a monster attack...a poodle jumped in through the window, breaking through the glass. I wanted to tell everyone that it was alright, just a poodle, when I realised that all of them were holding something. Rulers in fact. They began hitting the poor, cute dog! I didn't realise that the twins made such bad friends, who were into animal cruelty...I have to stop them. Before I could, the poodle had disappeared. Just vanished into thin air.

"What-How? The poodle..." I stammered.

John was gobsmacked as well.

"Yes, the poodle...you hitting it with rulers...disappeared..."

"Well, you're not clear sighted mortals I guess. Just regular mortals.That wasn't a poodle, it was a hellhound, from the Greek myths. Mortals can't see monsters, they'll see it as something else, unless you're clear-sighted. Which you are not. Yes, they're real, and they're attracted to our demigod scent. They basically want us dead. That's why we have to get them to camp fast. Something bad is happening, and they have to be trained in time." The brown hair girl, Katie, I believe, said.

"So...Leste and Nat here are also demigods? I think you all should get them to this 'protected camp of yours' as soon as possible. They're dangerous, and we have a baby here..." John said.

"No! John, are you saying that you want Celeste and Nat to get lost? Because they're dangerous and you now think they're monsters?" I yelled, my face hardening into a scowl.

"No, I'm not saying that, I mean, we have Amanda, to think about...Celeste and Natalia, they're not exactly safe, they might bring harm to Amanda! ! I loved them for years, and I still love them, but Amanda...Vi, they're old enough to go to this camp by themselves, we have to protect Amanda too!"

"The monsters won't harm you stupid mortals!They're only after us! Their scent didn't attract monsters until they found out! And that was yesterday only! We've saved you stupid ignorant vlacas mortals from the two major wars twice already! Without us, the real monsters would have dominated the world already, you mortals would have been the first to be killed by them!  And you're not grateful! Us demigods, we've risked our lives for you all, many of us didn't even survive until we were 16! They died!" Annabeth yelled, her voice breaking at this part.

It broke my heart to see all the other demigods in tears, remembering their friends who died in the war. I never knew, they fought in two wars. I never knew, so many could not even survive till they were 16...

"Leste, Nat, go pack your stuff and leave! Be safe, I love you! Contact me when you reach the camp! Go now!" I yelled, tears welling up in my eyes.

My heart broke as I saw tears streaming down my girls' faces. How can John, the one that loved Celeste and Nat since they were born, be so mean to them, wanting to rid of them?"

But I had a little secret, Amanda wasn't biologically John's, Fred had come back four years ago and well, Amanda was his too. I had to find a way to get Amanda safely into their camp as well...maybe when she was older. She was only four now, way too young.

My beautiful twin girls quickly rushed up to their room, packed and left.

"Goodbye mom, John, Amanda, I promise I'll contact you later, we love you guys!" Nat yelled before leaving.

There were my sweet girls. Forgiving John even though he thought they would bring harm to us...

"Good luck girls, sorry for just now, I was really shocked and frightened for Amanda...I still love you both!" John said, tears streaming down his face in deep regret.

There was the true John I knew. Somewhere deep inside of him, he was just protective of us all, especially little Amanda.
