I'm losing my mojo… not for this story but for my procedure of writing my stories. I'm getting confused on which one's I've updated and which ones I haven't. Okay, go read the story.

Chapter 2: Our Grandparents Are Gods

Luke

Silena and Luke looked at each other before dashing upstairs where the ringing was coming from. Sure enough, when the siblings went into their parents' bedroom, their mother and father's cell phones were next to the door. Luke picked the phones up, hanging up his own cell.

"This is not good," Luke mumbled. "Let's go back to the kitchen."

The two headed back down to the kitchen before looking at their parents' phones. Silena looked at what Luke was doing on their dad's phone. Luke went to the emergency contacts. He and Silena were there and so were three other people whom he didn't recognize: a Patrick, Annie, and Mr. Brunner.

"Who are they? Mom has them in her phone, too," Silena said.

"I don't know. Let's say we call… Patrick…" Luke decided. Luke hit the 'send' button before turning the phone's speaker on.

"Percy, is everything all right? Has Annabeth kicked you out of the house? I hope not," A man rambled. Silena and Luke gave each other a questioning glance.

"Uh, sir, this isn't Percy," Luke replied hesitantly. There was a minute of silence. "Hello?"

"… Who are you? Why do you have my son's phone?" Patrick demanded. Luke and Silena's mouths dropped open.

"Did you just say this is your son's phone?" Luke inquired incredulously.

"Yes, now I demand you to tell me who you are!"

"Your son?" Luke repeated.

"Oh for heaven's sake Luke, we don't have time for this!" Silena exclaimed exasperatedly. "This is Silena and Luke Jackson. We are Percy and Annabeth's kids. Our parent's are missing and it looks like a murder scene at our house. We don't know what to do!"

"Did you say Percy and Annabeth are missing?" Patrick's voice asked… right behind them. Silena and Luke whirled around.

"Holy sh-" Luke shouted before Silena screamed bloody murder. Luke forced Silena to get behind him, which he didn't have that much trouble.

The man stared at them in a confused but amused look. Of course, that was until Luke threw the knife he had been holding at him. The man didn't even have time to react before the knife embedded itself in his arm.

"You have Athena's aim I see," the man said with a smile.

"I-I can't believe-" Luke stammered as he stared at the knife he had thrown. Silena grabbed another knife in case the man decided to let go of his cool demeanor and attack them.

"I am assuming you're Luke since Silena seems to have the higher pitched voice from what I recall from our conversation on the phone," the man said.

"Dude, you just appeared out of freaking nowhere and you're asking me who I am? Who the hell are you?" Luke questioned furiously.

"I, my grandson, am Poseidon, god of the seas, horses, and earth-shaker," the man said. Luke laughed.

"Right, and I'm Zeus," Luke replied sarcastically. "Dude, what the hell are you on?"

"I'm not on anything and if you don't believe me… here." Luke and Silena stared open-mouthed as a trident appeared in the hands of the man claiming to be Poseidon.

"Holy mother of pearl," Silena murmured.

"I want to learn that trick. It could be so useful," Luke said.

"Luke! A man just magically made a trident appear and you want to know how he did it?" Silena asked incredulously.

"What? I could scare half the opposing football teams out of their wits if I did that," Luke argued.

"Why does everything come back to football for you?" Silena demanded.

"Well, I'm trying to get a scholarship for college from football. I think I should be focusing on football you know," Luke wrangled.

"What in Zeus's name is going on Poseidon?" A woman shouted at the top of her lungs. Silena and Luke shut their mouths and they stared at the woman who had, like Poseidon, appeared out of nowhere.

"Ah, Athena, what an unexpected, unpleasant visit this is. Unfortunately, it's good that you're here," Poseidon said.

"Are you going to- OW!" The woman yelped, looking down at her hand. A deep cut was there with gold Ichor flowing out of the wound. The woman whipped around to face Luke and Silena. Her eyes immediately settled on Silena who still had her hand in the post-throwing position. The woman grabbed a dagger, preparing to throw it. Luke stood protectively in front of Silena.

"How dare you-" the woman began before Poseidon cut her off by grabbing her arms and saying, "Athena, stop this silliness," Poseidon chided.

"Get your filthy hands off me barnacle beard," Athena spat, attempting to stab Poseidon with her dagger.

"I will if you don't stab me or the kids," Poseidon offered, rolling his eyes.

"Fine," Athena grumbled. Poseidon let go of her reluctantly. Athena stuck to her word and sheathed her dagger.

"Now where is my daughter? Where is Annabeth?" Athena demanded.

"I don't know. That's why I'm here. Percy is missing as well. The kids called me," Poseidon explained, pointing at Luke and Silena. Luke and Silena raised the knives they had grabbed when Poseidon had been attempting to restrain Athena.

"You're Percy and Annabeth's children?" Athena asked quietly. Luke and Silena nodded.

"Goodness heavens! I can't believe how grown up you two are!" Athena exclaimed, rushing at them, paying no heed to the knives Silena and Luke were still holding. Athena grabbed them in a bear hug. Luke went frigid as Athena hugged him.

"Uh, might I ask you two what in the hell is going on?" Luke asked bluntly once Athena had released the two of them… five minutes later.

"Well, as I hope you two might have guessed, we're your grandparents. Percy is my son, Annabeth is Athena's daughter," Poseidon informed them.

"You- You're- You're our grandparents?" Silena stammered.

"Yes," Athena answered.

"But why have we not met you? Why haven't our parents told us about you? Why have we only met Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and Mr. and Mrs. Chase?" Luke asked furiously. "Why haven't we been allowed to meet you? Why haven't our parents explained to us that we're related to a god and goddess? WHY?"

"Luke, calm down. We'll explain everything. You parents will have to explain their reasoning for most of the questions you have but we can answer a few. To your first question, your parents didn't want you exposed to the mythological world, which meant us which goes in hand with your second and third and fourth question. The reason they haven't explained your heritage is because if you knew that you were demigods, your scent would be stronger, and the monsters would have found you much more quickly," Athena explained.

"Both of you are on crack," Luke muttered.

"Okay, I think Luke and I are going to leave you two psychopaths and head on over to the police station," Silena said seriously.

"The only place you two will be going is camp," Athena said in a firm voice.

"No, I don't give a damn about going to a camp. I want to get my parents back!" Luke yelled.

"If you want your parents back, you need to train first so you can survive whatever comes after you when you go rescue them," Poseidon argued lightly.

"Luke, I-I think we should trust them," Silena whispered.

"You just called them psychopaths and now you're saying we should trust them? Are you out of your mind, Silena?" Luke hissed.

"Probably, but I think they're telling the truth. Please, Luke, let's go," Silena begged. Luke looked at Silena with intensity, his blood pressure rising, before he finally agreed.

"Fine," Luke said, still looking at Silena. "We'll go."

Athena marched over there, grabbed Luke and Silena by their hands and zapped them to the top of a hill with a sign that said "Camp Half-Blood." Poseidon appeared a few seconds later.

"Whoa…" Silena whispered.

"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, where demigods come to train to fight," Poseidon said, spreading his arms out. Luke and Silena stared at the sprawling place before them. Luke had never seen anything like it before. Kids from toddlers to teenagers were all over the place: at an archery range, at an arena practicing sword fighting, riding horses… in the air.

"What are those… things?" Luke asked, pointing at the flying horses.

"Oh tell me you've heard of pegasi," Poseidon said in a desperately hopeful tone.

"Yeah, but they're not supposed to exist," Luke replied.

"Neither should Athena nor I, but we do. Come on, it's time you meet Mr. Brunner, or as your parents called him, Chiron."

With that said, Poseidon and Athena headed into camp with a guarded Luke and Silena following behind them.
