Everyone goes into action. Mom sprints inside as I dodge the monster. It scratches my face as I fall to the ground. Dad swings the baseball bat at it and it attacks him, clawing his face. He yells and Mom runs back outside with a bronze dagger. Mom stabs the monster and it turns into gold dust. "Hunter! Are you OK?" Mom yells to Dad.

"Yeah," he says feeling his face. Another monster is coming near Ken and Kylie so I sprint to it. I don't know what I was going to do since I don't have any weapons. I jump on its back and strangle it until it bursts into golden dust. I fall to the ground, groaning.

"Kids, let's go inside right now," Uncle Sebastian says. "Half go to my house, half go to Carmen's house."

I get up and run to Jane, picking her up and bringing her inside my house. I lead her up to my room and I set her on my bed. I head back downstairs and see all the children in my house.

"Did all the adults go to Uncle Seb's house?" I ask them.

"Yeah," Camren says. She looks shaken up so I sit next to her on the couch, slinging my arm around her shoulders. She leans into me.

"Is everyone OK?" Meda asks. Everyone says yes and we sit in silence. Jane comes down the stairs slowly.

"What happened?" she asks. I look at my friends and they nod.

"Well, my family is not normal as you can see," I start out and she gives me a look. "My friends that just came up are actually legacies which are kids that are born from demi-gods. Greek and Roman demi-gods."

She just stares at all of us. "And Meda, Cam, Parker, and I are born from the legacies," Grey says. "Which means we are almost mortal. We don't know what Brandon is because he is born from a demi-god and a legacy. We found out Amber is a demi-god when she came."

"Then why can I see monsters?" Jane asks. "Since I'm not a demi-god or legacy."

"Oh," Ayn says. "That's weird. What's your middle name?"

"Natasha," Jane says. "Why does that have anything to do with what we are talking about?"

"Just wondering," Ayn says. We all sit in an awkward silence.

"Is everyone OK?" Mom asks while walking inside the house.

"How's Dad?" Camren asks instead.

"He's uh doing fine," Mom says. She wipes one eye and I get up and hug her. I let go of her and she smiles a little bit. "Camren, Parker, let's go get your dad some ice cream," Mom says.

Camren gets up and we walk to the kitchen. "Does Jane know about us?" Mom whispers to me.

"Yeah," I tell her. "I told her everything. But she said that she saw the monster. And what even was it?"

"It was a harpy," Mom says. She opens the refrigerator and she grabs a jug of ice cream.

"Jane said her middle name is Natasha," Camren says to Mom. Mom stops moving for a second but then she goes back to scooping the ice cream.

"OK," she says, hurriedly scooping ice cream out of the carton. She puts the ice cream away and I grab the bowl.

"Mom, slow down," I tell her. She takes a deep breath and she nods.

"I'm trying," she says. Carmen wraps her arm around her waist and we walk to Mom and Dad's room. Mom opens the door slowly and we walk inside. Camren gasps and she shuts her eyes tightly. Dad has scratches all over his face and he has bandages on them.

"Hey Dad," I say quietly.

"Hey," he says quietly.

"Did you eat any ambrosia?"

"Amelia is getting some for me right now," Mom says.

"We brought you some ice cream," I tell him while Camren buries her face in Mom. I hand Mom the ice cream and I hug Camren. Mom sits down next to Dad gently and she scoops some ice cream on the spoon. She brings it to his face and he takes a little bite of it. I bring Camren outside of their room and she breaks down crying.

"Shh, its going to be OK," I whisper to her. Aunt Amelia walks to where we are at with some ambrosia in her hand.

"I'll get it all taken care of," she whispers to us. She goes into Mom and Dad's room, leaving us alone. Camren let's go of me and she runs upstairs to her room. Aunt Amelia comes walking out and she asks, "Where did Cam go?"

"In her room," I tell her and she nods, walking upstairs. I follow her but I go to my room instead. I sit down on my bed and I put my head in my hands. Someone knocks on my door and barges right in.

"Parker?" Jane asks, walking to me. "You weren't lying when you said that you were Greek and Roman demi-gods, were you?"

"Of course not!" I say loudly. "A Greek monster, a harpy, attacked my dad!"

A tear rolls down my cheek and Jane hugs me. "I just don't want it to be real," I whisper. She rubs my back.

"He's gonna get better," she says.

"Park-UGH!" a girl shouts. "What are Jane and you doing?"

I open my eyes and I see Andromeda standing in my doorway. "Meda, you are 17. We are hugging, nothing else," Jane says. Jane let's go of me and my face turns bright red. I try to hide it from my cousin but she clicks her tongue.

"I'm telling Aunt Carmen!" She runs out of my room and I dash after her. Jane grabs my hand, making me stop.

"Don't even go after her," she says while rolling her eyes. "Carmen won't do anything anyway. She knows there is nothing going on between you and me."

Ouch. That just crushes me. She notices my face and she says, "What's the matter?"

"Are you that oblivious?" I ask her quietly.

"For what?" she asks.

"Me liking you," I tell her.

"What?" She laughs but then sees my face again. "Wait, you're serious?"

"Obviously," I say storming out of my room. "I just shouldn't have told you if you thought it was a joke!"

She grabs my hand yet again and she stops me from walking away. I jerk out of her grip and she says, "Parker, stop!"

"Why?" I ask her.

"Because" she starts to say but Aunt Amelia and Camren walk out of her room. "I'll talk to you later," Jane says to me. Aunt Amelia raises her eyebrows at me and I shake my head.

"What was that about?" Camren asks me.

"None of your business!" I tell her.

"Jane?" she asks me. I nod slightly. I walk downstairs and I sit down next to Brandon and Daniel.

"What do you guys want to do?" I ask them.

"We could play truth or dare," Grey says. Everyone looks slightly taken back because my goody two shoes cousin said truth or dare. "What is wrong with you people? Can't I be crazy like you people?"

"It's night time. You kids need to go to bed," Uncle Raphael says. Aunt Emma nods, right behind him.

"Dad-" Brandon says.

"I don't care. You guys need to go to bed," Raphael says again.

"Listen to him," Uncle Sebastian says to us. "You need to get some rest after tonight."

"Is Mom gonna tuck me in?" Camren asks.

"Carmen is taking care of your dad," Uncle Sebastian says gently.

"But I'll tuck you in," Aunt Emma says. I walk up to my room and I get under my covers, falling asleep quickly.
