Hey everyone! My second story. It happens alongside "My Crazy Summer". Read that first, mmkay?

'Kay, I'll wait while you do that.

Okay, so now that you're caught up, let's begin!

Hi, my name is Sammy Colette. I'm ten and a half years old. I have long, frizzy, brown hair. I have blue eyes and I talk really fast, like my friend, Rachael. And just so you know, I'm a girl, and people sometimes think I'm a boy, because of my name, which is really annoying! Anyways, I live in New York with my mom, dad, and my two brothers, Johnny and Caleb. By the way, I HATE snakes. Creepy, slithering, slimy FREAKS! Sorry.

Anyways, for school, we were reading this book series for English called Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It's really good; it's about this boy who finds out that the Ancient Greek gods are real, and his dad's Poseiden. He goes on these quests, and he has a friend named Annabeth, who he totally likes, but he's just too embarrassed to say anything. In the fourth book they kissed, and I was like, "aww!" but they didn't do anything afterwards, which totally sucks.

Yeah, so one day, I was with Rachael and my other friends Drake and Lisa at the beach. I should probably describe my friends before you meet them.

Drake's fifteen, with medium-length brown hair and brown eyes. He's about 5"1', and always complaining about his height. His hair kinda sticks up weird at the back and his teeth are really messed up. He's really nice, though.

Rachael is also fifteen. She has frizzy red hair, and draws on her pants. She's really good at painting, and can even paint with her hands and feet at the same time! It's weird. She hates talking about her family, but I think it's because of something her dad does. I get worried, but she always says don't get concerned.

Lisa is my age and my height. She has long, straight red hair, and has this weird limp. It gets her out of gym. She has pale skin, long red hair, like mine, but not brown, freckles, and she's a vegetarian.

So, yeah. We were at the beach and decided to go look around in the forest.

"Race ya!" Rachael said. We all laughed and ran, except for Lisa. She did a jog sort of thing, like she does whenever she tries to go fast.

"Hey, need some help?" I asked her.

"No, I'm fine," she responded. She tripped and stumbled, and one of her shoes came off.

"Umm, Lisa? What's up with your foot? That's not a foot. That's like a hoof! Like a goat? Lisa, what's going on? Lisa?!" I said, really fast.

She quickly put her shoe back on. "Oh, it's..." she looked up at me. "Oh, who am I kidding? I can't hide it for much longer..."

Drake and Rachael came back out of the forest. "Hey, guys, I got to go home now. Dinner," Drake said. "Lasagna!" He walked off.

Rachael sat down next to us. "Whatcha guys talking about?"

"Oh, nothing, Rachael," Lisa said quickly.

"Lisa? I can see though the Mist," she said.

"Oh," Lisa said, relaxing. "Good. I think Sammy's a half-blood."

"A what? What do you think I am? A half-blood?" I asked. My eyes widened. "You mean-?"

Rachael took a deep breath. "Half-Bloods are the half-human children of the gods, meaning the Olympians, like in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. That's all true, it all happened. All those gods are real, and we think you might be a half-blood. The Rachael in the stories – that's me," she said. "We don't know who your Olympian parent is, but we have suspiscions. Anyways, Lisa's a satyr and she's going to take you to Camp Half-Blood." She inhaled deeply.

"Oh. Wait- COOL!" I started jump up and down. "Awesome! You mean Percy and Annabeth and Grover and Tyson and Chiron and Mr. D and everyone else are all actually real? AWESOME! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"

"SAM! CALM DOWN!" Lisa yelled.

I stopped. "Sorry. When do we get to go?"

"Well, I have to talk to your parents first," Lisa said. "But, as soon as possible. You should go get packed."

"I'll help her. Oh! Sammy! I could do your hair for when you meet everyone at Camp Half-Blood. I'll give you blonde highlights with a little bit of curl. Oh, it'll look so nice!"

"Thanks, Rachael!" I said. We all headed back to my house.

Lisa came back into my room. "Okay! We're good to go!" she said. "Oh, Sammy! You look great!"

"I know!" I said cheerfully. "Rachael did a good job."

She blushed. "Well, it was nothing..."

"You must be a child of Aphrodite!" I joked. We all laughed.

"Well, let's go!" Lisa said. "Bye, Rachael."

"Oh, yeah... She can't come..." I frowned. Rachael was one of my best friends, and it was sad to leave her behind.

"Don't worry about me, Sammy. Tell Percy and Annabeth I said hi!" she said. She left my room. I could hear her mumble to herself, "Annabeth...Percy...think I like...how dare..." She stomped down the stairs.

"I think she's a little annoyed at them," Lisa observed.

"Yeah. Well, let's go!" I said. "How are we gonna get there? Pegasus? OH! That would be AWESOME!"

"Bus." She held up two bus tickets.

"Oh."

We were riding the bus for only about ten minutes when it happened.

"Lisa?"

"Yes?"

"What the hell is that?" I pointed out the window. Lisa saw what I was pointing to and her eyes widened.

"Empousa."

"Crap! What do we do?" I asked. She just started chewing on her backpack. "What if I used my switchblade? Oh, wait, it's just steel, not celestial bronze. Do you have any weapons? I suppose not. Oh, wait are we gonna do?!"

"Just calm down, get lower into your seat, and clear your mind. Now!" she pushed me down into the seat. I stayed like that for a minute or two.

"What's happening?" I whispered to her.

"I don't think it smells you y-nevermind. It's coming this way!"

"Crap! What now?!"

"I don't know, I do'-t-Oh, thank the gods!" she said.

"What? What is it?"

"The Hunters!"

I sat up sharp. "Really?"

"Yeah, they'll take care of the empousa," Lisa said. We watched as the Hunters shot about a bajillion arrows. It exploded into a cloud of dust. The bus suddenly stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the bus is stalling, but it will only take a few minutes to fix, so please be patient. We will not be waiting for long after this is fixed. Thank you," a voice on a PA system said.

"Come on. We're getting off the bus," Lisa told me.

"Why?"

"The Hunters are recruiting you."

"Hello, Lady Artemis," Lisa said, bowing.

"Hello, Lisa." She turned to me. Her eyes were brown. She looked about twelve years old with auburn hair, just like in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. "And how are you, Sammy?"

I was kinda speechless, seeing as how this was a goddess. "I-uh... Hi."

Artemis smiled. "Sammy, may I talk to you for a minute?" I followed her into a tent that appeared sometime while we were talking.

"Sammy, do you know of the Hunters?"

"Yeah. They're the maidens that hunt monsters with you forever," I answered her.

"Yes. And, you are a maiden."

"Oh, you don't mean..."

"Samantha Colette, will you join the Hunt?"

o.O what will happen?

This happens alongside My Crazy Summer, but you should read that first. I realized that in that story, I never actually described the appearances of Drake and Sarah P So I'll do it in this. :D

R&R for Cake! And Cookies! And Pie! And Danishes! And croissants! :D
