~oO0Oo~

Annabeth's POV

People where running around the cafeteria screaming and trying to back away from the doors. A hydra was walking through the doors, and taking most of the wall with it. The building shook, as it pushed through. Me, Percy, and the other four that were with us stood up, and unsheathed our weapons. Hazel looked ready to bend the Mist, and Frank looked ready to leave with the monster.

"What the heck?! Why are you guys carrying swords. What is that thing?!" I heard K.J and Jon yelling from behind us. Well, I guess they are demigods or clearsighted mortals. Yay. More people to take care of. The only person that wasn't talking was Owen, and when I turned around to see if he was as freaked out as the other two, I was shocked.

Owen was standing on the other side of the table, and he was pulling out a bow and arrows out of his backpack. He was tucking a dagger into his belt, and testing out his watch that turned into a bronze sword. I was stunned. No it wasn't the fact that he had just pulled out a bow from his backpack, or the fact that he had a bronze dagger and sword, no, it wasn't the fact that he was a demigod, no. It was the fact that he was a demigod, and didn't bother to tell us. He had to have known that me, Percy, and the rest of the crew were demigods, I mean, I've traveled half way across the world, and gotten praised about my defeat with Gaea.

"What the heck, Owen?! You're a demigod too?!" I guess Jason beat me to it. Owen walked up to us, and sighed.

"Yeah. But can we talk about this later? We need to kill this monster before all of Tartarus breaks loose." K.J and Jon looked scared out of their minds.

"What are you guys?! What's that thing?! Why is Owen like that?" I turned to Hazel, and she started bending the Mist. I walked over to K.J and Jon. I froze. Oh gods. I had completely forgot about Simon and Tayla. Where were they? I scanned the room, and my eyes fell on the two of them, near the center of the room. Simon was giving Tayla some ambrosia, and it seemed Tayla was okay. Maybe a slight concussion. Besides the small cut on her forehead from the blasted door, she looked fine. I breathed in a sigh, until I saw how close the two were to the monster.

"Frank! Get Simon and Tayla away from the monster!" He quickly nodded, and turned into a giant eagle.

"What?!" I turned back to K.J and Jon.

"Okay, guys, I know this is a lot to take in, trust me, I would know. Simon and Tayla just figured out about all this yesterday. I hate to say this, but you won't be able to go back to your normal life now. Really, I'm sorry, but on the flip side, it's great. Fighting monsters, and getting to go on adventures. This may not make sense right now, but you guys just have to trust me. After this monster is taken care of, we are immediately leaving to go back to our camp."

"Nuh uh. I'm not leaving with a bunch of killers. What are you guys anyways? Aliens?!" Oh my gods... this girl is SOOO creative... and stubborn. Gods, this was going to be hard.

"K.J, listen to me. We are human beings just like you, just with a little of Greek or Roman god mixed in. Because you can see what you're seeing, that only means you are like us. It's complicated, but if you just come with us it will all be explained. We can even go see your parents before we leave.

"Jon?" she turned to him. He seemed to think it over. Then shrugged.

"I dunno. They're definitely telling the truth, and Owen is with them. We've known Owen since we were really little. If we can trust anyone, it's him. Plus, they said we can see our parents. What kinda killer would let us see our parents?" K.J. stood there before signing.
