After Jordan finished his gummy bears he told his family what happened at camp, with a few alterations. He didn't mention the angry Olympian was Jimmy or that he was in his head. He also left out most of his dreams, except the one about them of course. He ended his story with his little "talk" with the Fovos.
"Whoa," Ceirra said.
"That's...crazy," Bethany added.
"Thank goodness you're still alive," Isaac finished.
"I'm not sure you should go back to that camp place Jordan," his mom said. She had that worried motherly look on her face. His father nodded in agreement.
"I have to. Just until I know how to handle all of those monsters out there."
"He'll be fine Mr. and Mrs. Frye. What Mike did was an isolated situation. Campers don't go around just trying to kill each other. We work together to try and keep everyone safe. As for the Olympian, we're taking extra precautions to ensure that he doesn't cause any trouble again," Jade said, trying to calm down the worried mortals. It worked a little, but even with the absence of the Fóvos Jordan's family feared for him. Bethany decided to steer the conversation to a topic she hoped would be more positive.
"Jordan, have you thought more about recording a video?"
"No, I was a bit busy fighting a monster."
"Come on! Just one video?"
"I don't know..."
"A vlog?"
"Jordan, I don't think this is a good idea. One monster was already here," Jade warned.
"Please?" all of the Fryes, except Jordan of course, begged at once. His siblings tried to do puppy dog eyes, which was slightly terrifying.
"Okay, okay! I'll make a video if you stop making those faces! My eyes!"
"YAY!" Ceirra shouted.
"To the computers!" Isaac said dramatically, striking a pose like he was a superhero. Before anyone could say anything about his...fabulous, but not really, pose he dashed off. The Frye siblings all ran to their computers and started setting up.
"What should we record?" Jordan asked over Skype.
"People have been begging for more P.I.E," Bethany said.
"P.I.E it is!" Jordan said. "Okay, I'm going to start recording.......Greetings fellow adventurers! This is Venturian with HomelessGoomba, Immortalkyodai, and BethanyFrye! I'm back for a short while! Probably just this one video. But! You guys have been asking for P.I.E, so we shall give you P.I.E!"
"Is it pumpkin?" Isaac yelled. Jordan winced at the volume and turned it down on his headphones.
"Johnny Toast! Johnny! Where are you?" Jordan shouted, now being Johnny Ghost.
"Sorry sir. I stepped in a campfire!" Ceirra said, running up in her Johnny Toast player model.
"Was it...toasty?"
"Sir...please no."
"Maxwell Acachalla!" Isaac screamed, no-slipping past them. "I have come for revenge!"
"Hello Mr. Ghosty man!" Bethany said in a terrible french accent.
"Oh no. Johnny, it's her!" Jordan said, pretending to be scared. "Wait, what the heck? Since when does Amiee look like that?" he asked, breaking character. Bethany's player model had on a fancy green dress with fancy green gloves and her hair was bright orange. The model was also smiling.
"Someone made a model for her. Look, they made Maxwell one too! They made models for all of the characters without one!" Isaac told Jordan. He showed off the Maxwell model. It was a cowboy, of course.
"Come here Mr. Ghosty man! I want a hug!" Bethany squealed.
"AHHHH! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"
"MAXWELL ACACHALLA!"
"AHH SIR HE'S CHASING ME!!"
The whole video was pretty much the Johnny's getting chased by Maxwell and Amiee.
"That is all for this time! If you enjoyed this NUKE!!!! Isaac you butt! If you enjoyed this video leave a like and comment and tell us what you'd like to see us do or play next time! We will see you, next time!" Jordan said, ending the video.
"The fans will love that!" Ceirra said happily. "And it looks like you're still okay with technology!"
At that Jade ran into the room. "There's a bunch of Empousa outside!"
"You had to jinx it Ceirra!" Isaac yelled over the Skype call.
"Wait, what the heck are Empousa?" Jordan asked.
"They're vampire-like monsters with one goat leg and one bronze leg."
"Those are the things that attacked me when I met Percy and Annabeth!"
"I told you using technology was a bad idea! Come on, we need to get rid of these things!" Jade shouted. Jordan closed the Skype call.
"I don't know if that's a good idea. Everytime I fight Jimmy starts to come out!"
"Jake and I can't take them on our own! You could just shoot at them from the roof. Maybe that will help."
"Are you sure?"
"Nope, but it's the best choice we have."
Less than a minute later Jordan was on the roof with his bow. Below him there were five empousa, all in designer clothes. Man, Jade was right about the tech attracting monsters thing, he thought as he loaded his first arrow. Jade was already taking on one of them, but Jake seemed distracted. He was looking at the empousa like she was a model, not monster. He walked closer to her. Jordan fired his arrow and the monster exploded into dust. He saw Jade take out the empousa that she was fighting and move onto another one. He notched another arrow and fired it at an empousa with fiery hair. She dodged it and started climbing up the wall to the roof. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!
"Hello there demigod. I'm the head empousa, Kellie. My troop tells me you're friends with Percy Jackson," she said, growling after the last part. "That's a death sentence to me!" she screeched, lunging at Jordan. He scrambled out of the way and Kellie fell flat on her face. She got up, but now her appearance was different. Now she looked like a very, very pretty girl. She winked at Jordan and twirled her hair around her finger. "Aw, you wouldn't hurt me, would you? Come here, I have something to tell you."
She must have been using some kind of magic, because Jordan was tempted to do as she said. He tried to see through the Mist and see what she really was, but it was hard. He barely understood the Mist. He didn't get closer, but he didn't try to kill her either. He just stood there. Kellie ran out of patience and ran at him, her disguise melting away. Before Jordan could react she had tackled him to the ground. She laughed triumphantly. "Now for a little snack," she said. "Your blood will be my lunch!"
"Yeah, how about no," Jordan said. He kicked Kelli off of him and got to his feet. She growled at him, baring her fangs in hate. "I like my blood in my body."
"Too bad!" she yelled. "Lucy! Shelby!"
One other empousa crawled up the wall. "I'm here! Shelby was killed by the girl!" she announced.
"Get him!" Kelli ordered, pointing at Jordan. Lucy ran at him. Without thinking he pulled out the knife and slashed at the monster. She screamed and exploded. Jordan stood still. His eye started to twitch. He shook his head and turned towards Kelli. "Doesn't matter! I can beat you myself!" she said. She turned back into a pretty girl and started walking towards Jordan. She was less than a foot away when she noticed his eye twitch, and the fact that his eyes had turned slightly russet colored. He lifted up his knife and smirked.
"B-bring it on, Goat L-leg," he taunted.
"Aw, are you stuttering because you're scared?"
"N-nope. J-just come a bit c-closer," he said. There was more red in his eyes now, and his skin seemed a bit more pale. Kelli disregarded this though and leaned in closer. She was about to deal the death blow when Jordan whispered something in her ear.
"Do you wanna know my secret?"
For some reason, those six simple words sent fear all throughout Kelli. She knew her fear was illogical and ridiculous. She tried to push it away, but she couldn't. She was afraid. Afraid of a demigod who wasn't even that powerful. Was he?
"Oh no, you look at little sick. You better go home," Jordan, who had practicality no control over himself, said. He slashed at Kelli, who exploded. He chuckled, his eye twitching even more now. His hair was a dark brown, his skin much too pale, his teeth much too sharp. And his eyes much too red.
He didn't quite look like Jimmy though. Jimmy's look was more extreme. His head started to hurt very badly, worse than his headache from that morning. He gripped his head, trying to get back control. His thoughts were muddled, mixed with Jimmys. He tried to focus on his own life. He thought about his family, his friends, everything that mattered to him. He slowly regained control, and slowly started to look like himself again. But there was one thing that didn't change back to normal. His eyes still had a faint red tint to them.
