Alli's POV
"Hey kid! Come 'er!" Hermy yells from the kitchen.
"What could you possibly want?!" I yell from the couch.
"I said come 'er!" he yells back.
"And I said why!" I yell back.
"Kid, you have to do what me and my brother says, okay? He told you to take ninja classes for the first ten years of your life. And, I said you had to take spy classes the next six. You only sixteen, you're not an adult yet. But until you are, you have to listen to me," he says because he knows my mom says that to me about listening to Hermy.
"What do you want oh mighty Hermes?" I ask.
"Why did you just call me Hermes? The name is Hermy," he says, narrowing his eyes.
"Hermy and Hermes sound similar. And Hermes is the god of thieves and you, my friend, are a thief," I say as my mom walks in.
"Alli, I got you something," my mom says hugging me.
"What is it my lady?" I ask getting a little excited.
"I know that One Direction reminds you of Kaelin and Kaelin made you obsessed. So, I got you tickets," she says, waiting for my reaction.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaat!!!" I yell at the top of my lungs.
"You heard me," she says acting like a sassy teenager.
"I love you!" I yell, picking her up and swinging her around.
"You're strong like your dad and Thalia," my mom says sadly.
"Mom who is my dad? You always seem sad when you look at me. And when you looked at Thalia. You seem so sad when you talk about him." I ask walking out of the kitchen and into the living room with mom.
"Your father was amazing. Strong, a great leader, had two brothers, we never married. After I had Thalia he wanted to leave for her safety. I didn't know what he meant, so I reasoned him to stay with me. Three years later, we had you. You barely got to see him, neither did Thalia. He was so busy. You might have saw him for about a month. Years later, I found out what he meant when he said, and I quote, I have to leave to keep our wonderful daughter, Thalia safe. I'm sorry. So it was my fault," she explains.
"What was his job?" I ask.
"He was the top dog in the empire state building," she says uneasily.
"So like Zeus in Percy Jackson?" I joke,
"Yeah, like Zeus," she says uneasily.
"Well, I'm hungry. When Is the concert?" I say, shaking off the feeling it could be Zeus.
Who am I kidding? Of course Zeus isn't my dad. It's just mythology.
"Tomorrow and you got a V.I.P ticket," she says handing it to me.
"Is this real?!" I ask, getting excited.
She nods her head, smiling at my actions.
*next day*
"We gotta go, Alli!" my mom says, dragging me to the car.
"My food!" I yell, dramatically.
"Come on before Hermy stops us!" she say, loudly.
"Sorry," I say running to the passenger seat.
My mom gets in and we were on our way.
*at that concert*
I love these five boys so much. I can't help to feel sad, after Kaelin left and I look at something with One Direction on it, it reminds me of her. The concert is almost over, then I get to meet them. Yay! Last song they sing is Half a Heart. I get to go meet them! I get to go meet them! I get to go meet the-. I'm here! Calm down Alli. Inhale, exhale. Do that one more time.
"Hello, love. What's your name?" Louis asks.
"Alli," I smile.
"Nice to meet you," Harry buts in.
"I'm going to get some food," Niall says, walking to the buffet.
He reaches for the table but someone or something makes it catch on fire. Niall jumps back, scared that it'll shoot him next.
"Niall, come over here!" I say, grabbing his arm.
He holds onto Liam, Louis and Harry hold onto each other, and me and Zayn holding each other. We all turn around when we hear a growl.
"You are a Fury!" I yell.
"Names have power, little demigods," it says.
"Demigods?" I ask shocked at these words.
"Yes, I know what happened to Thalia," it says, coming closer.
We back up a little. I grad a sword and hit its shoulder. It lets out an ear piercing screech. Then it disintegrated. The boys look at each other, then at me.
"My mom can help us, follow me," I say as they nodded.
We go outside and find my mom near the car. We run over there and she looks at the boys.
"Do they need a ride?" she asks, "And what was that screech?"
"A Kindly One," I say.
Her eyes widen, "Everyone in the car. NOW!"
Louis sits in the front, Harry and Liam sit together, and me and Zayn sit together.
"You're going to Camp Half-Blood," my mom announces.
