Chapter One: The Family Reunion
Hi. Ryan Jackson here. This is the story of how I found out I was a demigod, and how a mere trick cost nearly cost us the world.

If you think you are a demigod, pray you are not. Click out of this fandom, and find a satyr.

Anyway, on with the story. I guess it started at that family reunion, when I was 13.

Alot of weird stuff had happened since then, but I never really was in danger until that day. Like, once, I saw my dad talking to a man in a trench coat. I told my sisters, Britni and Anne, that he only had one eye, but they never believed me. Then, once, I swore this cheerleader at my school, Lannie, was walking down the hall with her hair on fire and one leg made of metal, the other a donkey's. But nothing truly happened until that day, as I said.

We were going to my family's house in Montauk. Some of my parent's friends and their kids were coming too. We packed annd left.

Ugh. I am so lucky my mom let me sit in back. I would die inside if I had to sit between Britni and Anne. That's what I hate about my family. I'm the middle and the only boy. No one I can relate to in my family. I thought about that, and my eyes turned stormy grey.

Let me explain that. I normally have sea green eyes like my dad, but when I'm angry or fighting, they become stormy grey like my mom's.

We stopped at the beach and I got out. Several people were already here. Britni looked over to a black Prius. 2 boys around her age with black hair, olive-toned skin, freckles stepped out. Then a man stepped out with the same olive-toned skin skin as both of them and the same brown eyes as one. Then a woman stepped out with the same freckles as both boys and the same electric blue eyes as one.

"That's Nico and Thalia Di Angelo." my dad said. "And their kids. Danny, the brown-eyed one and Darren, the blue-eyed one."

Britni was staring at Danny.

"Oooh...your in loooooooooove!" Anne said. Then a silver convertible drove up. In it, a man with curly brown hair, a riot of orange freckles and startling icy blue eyes drove. Next to him, a girl with honey blonde hair and hazel-brown eyes sat. In the back, a boy with the man's eyes and the woman's hair sat. He was around Anne's age and wore a shirt with a large red T on the front.

"And here's Connor and Katie Stoll, with their son Trevor!" my mom said. I was trying so hard not to laugh. These girls. Then a pink van drove up. A man with blonde hair, electric blue eyes and a beard came out, followed by a woman with long chocolate hair in a braid. But I was more interested in the girl that came out after. She had long hair that was probably brown, but she dyed it red. She had beautiful amber eyes that studied me with no emotion.

"Heh. Jason and Piper Grace, with their daughter Leia." my dad whispered.

We went over to the backyard. We walked around and socialized, and then we set up tents.

I was about to go to sleep when a loud "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" split my head.
