3rd. Pov.

"Which one?" Chloe asked Rebekah.

"Klaus," Rebekah responded. She was still annoyed from her phone call and it was evident in her tone. Thalia snickered at the name, and Annabeth shot her a look telling her to shut up.

"How many brothers do you have?" asked Percy. He didn't have siblings, so he was fascinated when other people did.

"Three, unfortunately," Rebekah said rolling her eyes. The mortals giggled, but Thalia's face darkened in anger.

"You know, not all of us have very much family! You should be glad that you have your brothers! And as for it being complicated, what did they do? Tear the heads off of your barbies when you were five? My mom gave my brother up and it took me forever to find him!" Thalia ranted. Almost everyone at the table turned to Thalia with sympathetic and shocked looked on their faces. Rebekah, on the other hand, glared at Thalia.

"I'm sorry to hear about your brother, but seeing as you have no idea what my family or brothers are like, you have to right to belittle my family drama," she said this rather calmly, but there was an edge to her voice almost as if she was on the edge between angry and sad. There was a moment of silence, and everyone looked between Thalia curious and a little bit worried about what would happen next; however, before anyone could break this incredibly tense and akward silence, Max came back with the pizza. Everyone took that opportunity to change to subject and try to forget the awkwardness that just happened. The rest of the outing continued uneventfully. There was an air of coldness between Thalia and Rebekah, but no one commented on it.

Over the course of the next couple of weeks, everyone settled into the pattern of school. There was a couple of monster attacks, but nothing the half bloods couldn't handle. As for Thalia and Rebekah, they were not as bad, but were still slightly cold with one another. Thalia hadn't forgiven Rebekah for cutting off her family, and Rebekah just wanted her to apologize for yelling and making assumptions. Despite all of this, they were relatively civil. Everyone else was still getting along very well. Sometimes, there was a slight barrier between mortals and demigods, but that was mainly because of inside jokes. One Wednesday, a couple of weeks after the pizza incident, the normal pattern of school was interrupted.

The day had started normal enough for Rebekah, but she should have known with her luck it couldn't last. She started her morning with a quick blood bag(she didn't feel like going out and getting a meal), and a drive to school. She had greeted her friends, including the weird ones(the demigods), and gone to class. She had even been assigned a project in Greek class. The project was with Thalia, Annabeth, Max, Percy and Chloe. The topic was ritual language and vocabulary (like for religious ceremonies). They were wondering where to work on the project this afternoon, when Chloe had a suggestion.

"What about your place, Rebekah?" Chloe supplied hopefully. She had been to Rebekah's house a couple times and really liked it.

"Sure, why not," was Rebekah's response. She didn't see any harm in housing a project. She didn't have any dead bodies lying around her house currently and her blood bags were safely locked away.

"Are you sure?" asked Annabeth, "We can always figure something else out if it's inconvenient."

"No. It's fine," Rebekah assured her friend. Later that day, the six of them went back to Rebekah's house. When they saw the outside, they were all shocked. Her house was beautiful! Rebekah, however, looked worried. Something just felt off to her about the house, but she shook this feeling off and fished her key off of her bag. When they got inside, everyone looked around in awe. Rebekah's house hasn't the most beautiful she had ever had, but it was very impressive for NYC. There were paintings, mostly Klaus's, dark hardwood floors, a white rug and a purple sofa.

Just as the six of them were beginning to settle in and work, a voice said, "Why, hello sister." At this sound, all of them turned around to see a handsome young man of around nineteen or twenty years old with short brown hair and a lean frame leaning against the doorframe. He had a confident smirk decorating his fair face and his chocolate eyes sparkled with mirth. When she saw him, Rebekah's face darkened with worry and annoyance.

"Kol! what are you doing here?" she asked clearly not happy to see him. She had not told her brothers where she was going to live, and had made extra precautions for them to not to find her. If he could find her, who knew who else could.

"I had a little help. Nik's not the only one with connections, you know," he responded, walking fully into the room as he spoke. After he said this, he turned to the others and addressed them, "I'm sorry. I've forgotten to introduce myself. I'm Kol, Rebekah's older brother."

Everyone introduced themselves quickly, and Kol sat down next to Chloe. "So what is all of this?" he said as he pointed to the project.

"A school project," answered Annabeth. Kol laughed at this and shot a knowing look at Rebekah.

"Really, Bekah? School?" he asked while laughing still. Everyone was confused at this, but Rebekah seemed to have been expecting this.

"I didn't get a chance to finish before Nik dragged me off," she explained to her brother.

"Speaking of Nik," Kol said, "been talking to him lately?" Kol's eyes suddenly colder as he looked at his sister. Rebekah shifted uncomfortably where she was sitting. Normally she wouldn't be worried, but Kol had a bad habit of killing when he got mad, and she didn't want any of her friends to be hurt. Kol raised his eyebrows at Rebekah. He was expecting an answer and she was taking too long.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Rebekah said defiantly. Kol leaned in closer. At this point everyone, even Max in his obtuseness, noticed that there was some serious tension between the siblings.

"Really?" he responded, "then why did he come visit me a couple weeks ago?" He tilted his head and smirked, but there was an underlying barely contained anger. Rebekah gulped.

"He visited you?" she asked, "I had no idea."

"Oh, save it sister!" Kol said, "I know you told him I have it!" Kol stood up now and began to pace in agitation.

"Okay! Who are you two talking about?" Thalia interjected. She was sick of just sitting and listening to the siblings' conversation. Annabeth and Percy nodded.

"Well, darling," Kol said to Thalia, "We were just discussing our brother, Klaus." Thalia glared at the pet name, and looked away from a smirking Kol.

Percent however remember something, "Isn't that the brother who called you a while back?" Kol turned back to Rebekah with a look of triumph on his face. Percy had just proven his suspicion. Rebekah had betrayed him, and now, he would make her suffer.
