Thalia

I walked with my younger brother, Jason, and two of his friends, Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano and Piper McLean. She brought her blond brother to make sure I didn't get impatient with the people I was supposed to meet up with. And the girls were calm my nerves a bit. I almost asked Annabeth and Percy to come along.

I scanned the crowd of high schoolers for the twin demigods. From my description, the girl would wear a headscarf, but had silver eyes and pale skin. She would be followed by a timber wolf and have perfect posture. The other girl would have the same pale skin, but blue eyes and summer blond hair. She would be energetic and playful.

"Thalia, why did you bring us with you?" asked Jason.

"Lady Artemis asked me to find twin demigods. One is a daughter of Apollo, but the other isn't. Her mother is a goddess, so this makes them half siblings. Their father told her that they are turning sixteen soon." I answered.

"Wait, how does a man have a child with Apollo?" asked Jason. I raised my eyebrow and frowned at him.

"Do you really want me to go into details? When you know that gods can shape shift?" I asked.

"Guess not." he said.

"The youngest's name is Elsa Gillies and the girl's name is Jasmin Gillies." I said

"So, why did you bring me exactly?" asked Jason.

"To make sure I don't strangle them." I answered. "Just look for two pale teens. The girl has silver eyes and has a timber wolf. The other has bright blonde hair and blue eyes." 

"Okay." said Jason. 

We entered the Times Square and heard music. I lead the others to the music. We saw a wolf with an upside down hat and people dancing. The crowd around us were clapping along with the music. Two of the dancers looked interesting. 

One of them had red hair with a silver streak, pale skin, a scar on her right eyebrow, a mole on the right side of her mouth. and silver eyes. She wore a white dress with a purple skirt, no shoes, a purple sash, a skirt sash, a laurel crown, gold and white feather earrings, and a gold necklace with an amethyst in the middle.

The other one had blonde hair with a silver streak, pale skin, a scar on her left cheek, a mole by the left side of her mouth, and blue eyes. She wore a white dress that had a purple skirt, a brown vest, feather earrings, brown and purple jewels around her neck, a brown belt, gold chained weavings attached to the belt, and no shoes as well. Jason looked at me and then noticed the two teens.

"Do you think that's them?" he asked. I looked at the photos and descriptions.

"Something's not right. The girls don't have a scar in the photo." I said. 

They finished their dance and the wolf walked around with the hat. People put money in the hat. The crowd left and the people who danced got drinks. The two teens put on their shoes. The taller girl grabbed her purse and the wolf walked with them. They talked with a pale man with brown eyes and dirty blond hair. He hugged them and gave them some money. He made a shooing motion with his hands and the kids walked towards us with the wolf. I walked towards them.

"Hey, you two." I said. They turned to me. The blonde girl had a mischievous look on his face. The older girl looked at me and frowned. The girl dragged her sister over to me and the wolf tensed while following them.

"What do you want, huntress?" she asked. Jason and Reyna looked surprised.

"How did you know?" asked Jason.

"Did I say you may speak, boy?" she asked. Jason looked stunned. Reyna's metal dogs cocked their heads.

"Listen, we need to talk. Someone sent me to check up on you." I said.

"I know. She notified me in my dreams." she said, her silver eyes glimmering.

"Who notified you?" asked Jason. Nico, Reyna, and I facepalmed. 

"Not important. Look, if you want to talk, then meet us at the nearest Starbucks Cafe." she said. She grabbed her sister and whistled. Her wolf sat up straight and they walked off.

"She seemed so different when she was dancing." said Jason.

"She's hiding something." said Reyna. 

"Yeah. She seems sad, angry, but very loving and loyal." said Piper. I nodded. 

"Let's go. We need to talk to her." I commanded. We walked to the cafe. The girls sat down at a table outside with coffees. The auburn girl raised an eyebrow and smirked.
