Zoe's POV

Someone shakes me awake, and I open my eyes groggily. Emily is hovering over me. 

"Oh, good, you're finally awake. We were so scared this morning when you and Beck weren't in the room. And also, you should hurry up. Aunt Piper and Uncle Jason are waking up, and they're going to see you and Beck here."

I sit up, rubbing my eyes. "Yeah, okay. Wait, how do you know that Aunt Piper and Uncle Jason are waking up?" 

"Aunt Piper wears her diamond ring that Uncle Jason gave her on their engagement everywhere, and it's currently on the move. Mom's powers." 

I lean over, and see Beck still sleeping. Reaching out to shake him, he doesn't respond. Emily shakes her head. "I tried that already. He's a really sound sleeper." 

I groan. "Ugh. Beck, wake up. Wake up. WAKE UP!" I say, slapping his face. 

No response. "Beckendorf Tristan Grace, if you don't wake up this instant, I will douse you with water." I say in his ear. At that, he instantly wakes up. 

"What the--" He sees me and Emily. "Seriously? I was having a good dream." 

Emily rolls her eyes, and walks back to the other room. I look over at him. "You drool in your sleep, by the way. Wipe your mouth." 

Beck stands up, and wipes the drool of his mouth. "Are Mom and Dad-?" 

"No, Em said they're waking up, but I don't know if they're coming down or not yet. We should go." I nod, and head over to the bathroom first to wash up. Just like every day for the past 3 days, I take a long look at the thunderbolt ring, and smile. I've never taken it off, except to put it on the chain. I decide to leave my hair down, and change into yesterday's pair of shorts, which are dry, and leave my Camp Half-Blood t-shirt that I cut into a tank top on, pulling it into a knot at the hem. 

When I get back to the living room, Emily gets me and tells me they're making breakfast. Uncle Jason is making coffee for everyone except Lucas and Michael, and Lucas is making breakfast. I sigh in relief. Aunt Piper is vegetarian, and it's not that I hate it or anything, but I was kind of craving bacon and eggs, which is exactly what Lucas is making. Aunt Calypso is literally the best cook ever. 

I sit next to Beck and Em, not out of choice, but because it was the only spot left. I could've sworn I saw Aunt Piper raise her eyebrows when Beck makes room for me and I smile at him. Lucas hands out plates of bacon and eggs, and Uncle Jason hands out the coffee. After we burn some of our food for the gods, we start eating. 

Halfway through breakfast, Aunt Piper stands up. "Everyone's coming over later, because we have something to talk about." She stares me in the eye while she says that, making me internally scream. She couldn't have found out...right? "The kids are coming over too, so maybe after we talk we can have another pool party thing." Out of the corner of my eye, I see Michael and Sammy nodding, so I join in. 

Around ten, Uncle Frank, Aunt Hazel, Uncle Will, and Uncle Nico come in, and Ari and Rey take Bea and Lee to the backyard. Dad and Mom enter soon after, with Charles, Silena, Ethan, and Luke, who all go to the backyard to find the others. Well, Charles took them as soon as Aunt Piper told them where the others were. Noticing Charles's blush, I bet he has a crush on Ari. Uncle Leo and Aunt Calypso come in after them. 

I look around. "Where are Bi and Nyssa?" 

Dad smiles. "Hanging out with the Hunters." I roll my eyes at the smirk he gives me. 

All the adults come in and sit on the couch, while Beck, Emily, Michael, Sammy, Lucas, and I sit on the floor. I swear, if they found out-

"So what did you want to talk to us about?" Michael asks.
