A/N My second Fanfic! This one takes place the June before Percy turns 16 during the titan war. I will not include the story of the lost hero until a year later then it is supposed to. Wanted to add more story to it. Hope you like it! Review! ;)

Lindy

Being a Half blood sucks

I never wanted to go camping, but of course my mom insisted. I love my mom, don't get me wrong, but when she starts to plan alone time get together bonding trips, she crosses the line. Just think I could be doing things normal teenagers do during the summer, instead of stuck in a dungeon. It all comes back to if my mom didn't take me camping.

Okay I'll back up a bit. First off I'm Lindy Scarlett. My mom is Kristy Scarlett, the famous musician. She travels, a lot, which is why she wanted to take me camping. So we "bond" in between her tours. I honestly did not care who my mom was.

"It's only for a week," My mom encouraged.

"No," I told her. "That's a whole week taken off of my summer vacation."

"But this is a vacation!" she thought a moment. "You're going, whether you like it or not."

"Not," I grumbled.

I understand why my mom was doing this. She loves me just as much as I do her. It was just that every trip we went on turned into work. How was this one going to be any different? I sighed. One more try won't hurt. (It did though… a lot.)

"Not work," I insisted. It wasn't really a question. "Just us."

"and the others at the camp ground, but yes."

"Fine, I'll go," It wasn't like I had a choice right? My mother smile and threw her arms around me.

Turns out my mom lied, again. AS soon as we got to the camp site, my mom picked up her phone, and after two minutes of speed talking with her agent, she was off to sing for a charity.

"You'll be fine for a few hours right?" She asked me through the bathroom door. "GO to the pool, or make some friends."

I sighed rather loudly, (on purpose,) and stomped out of the cabin. I sat down on the chairs on the deck and watched all the other families around me. They were all having fun with each other. Brothers and sisters ran around the yards, while parents cooked BBQ. Every family seemed to be at peace, except for mine, and oddly the girl next door and I guessed her father. I tried not to listen but I did anyway.

The girl had sandy blonde hair, it was pulled back in a pony tail and it flung around as she yelled at her father. "Dad!" the girl screamed. "I am supposed to be at camp! You know what it is almost time! I need to be there to help! Why did I come here?"

"It was the only time I could get a cabin Annabeth," The dad said as calmly as possible."GO make a new friend," I held back a laugh. That's what my mom told me to do. Do all parents think a like?

"I have enough friends at camp,"

"Well I guess you ruined the surprise!" Annabeth starred at her father blankly. "Percy's mom and I talked and said maybe this would be a good thing to do to get your mind off of the… you know what. Percy and his mother will be here any minute."

"Percy… well that doesn't change anything." Annabeth stormed off the porch. The dad went back inside.

Annabeth caught me starring; she sighed and walked over to our cabin. I ripped my eyes away, and got suddenly interested in the stains on my jeans.

My mom walked out of the cabin. She gave me a quick kiss on the head, nodded at Annabeth as she was walking up the stairs and left.

"That's your…" she began.

"Yeah my mom," I sighed and stood up. "I'm Lindy,"

"Annabeth. Sorry you had to hear that. My dad and I don't exactly see eye to eye sometimes. We have this…Problem at camp. I need to be there."

"I know the feeling."

"I can tell. Even I know who she is."

"It gets so annoying." Annabeth looked a little bored, and fidgety, like she needed to get up and do something. I felt the same way having ADHD. "Sorry. I'm completely boring you aren't I? You don't have to listen to me."

"No its fine, I understand." We sat down again. "I get that all the time."

"So," I said eager to change the subject. "Who is Percy?"

"A friend from camp." She said. I swear she was trying hard not to blush. "He is like my best friend, I guess."

"You guess?"

"Well I have other friends too!" She was blushing hard now.

"Is he more than a friend?"

"No!" She almost yelled. Then she calmed herself down a bit. "I mean no. We are just friends." She was still blushing.

"Uh huh, sure. Whatever you say."

"I can't believe I'm having this conversation. Especially with someone I don't even know." She laughed a bit.

"Okay, I feel loved," I said sarcastically.

"I didn't mean it that way."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Gods I'm bored." She said after a moment. Did she just say Gods? I didn't think about this more until later.

"Sorry I'm boring you."

"No, it isn't just you. You want to go for a walk or something?"

"Sure," I shrugged.

We walked through the dirt paths of the campsite for almost an hour. We passed a tin lake with a fountain that was lopsided. Annabeth muttered something about poor works man ship. I just starred at her but she didn't seem to notice.

We circled the whole camp. I learned that this camping trip for her was just a pit stop to her summer camp. She really lived in California. I wondered why she came all the way to New York State to go to a camp. Her family was probably rich and they send her to a special camp, I didn't ask though.

She understood a lot of things I go through. Her real mom left when she was born. My dad abandoned me and my mom when I was younger too.

After we circled the camp a second time and made our way over to the main road, and Annabeth saw a familiar car. A woman with black hair sat in the driver's seat. A boy with very messy hair and see green eyes sat on the passenger's side. He didn't look very happy.

The boy looked towards us and the women smiled. He looked at the women which I suspected was his mom and he got out as she nodded.

Before he was in ear shot I asked Annabeth, "That's Percy?" She just smiled and nodded not making eye contact with me. Her eyes locked on Percy. Just friends my butt, I thought to myself. I'm glad I didn't say it out loud because it sounded like a really stupid comment.

"Hey Annabeth," Percy said. We stood up. "And…"

"I'm Lindy,"

"Hey. I didn't know you were going to be here." He said turning back to Annabeth. His eyes widened a bit as if they were asking a question. They moved from me to Annabeth. Annabeth shook her head. That was weird, I thought. "Um, okay. Anyway my mom said we were taking a road trip, but she is a very bad liar."

"Are you kidding? I love your mom! She isn't that bad a liar." Percy starred at her. "Okay she is but she is still awesome."

"Yeah she is. What about your dad?"

"He is fine," Annabeth rolled her eyes as if sharing a secret joke. "Same as always."

I suddenly had a weird feeling. Like the expression of someone walking on your grave. Time seemed to slow down around me. I looked into the forest behind us and, very slowly, an arrow was whizzing through the air. I was aimed at Percy. I snatched it out of midair before it sliced through Percy's head. Time started up again. I starred at the arrow then looked at Percy and Annabeth. They were just starring at me.

"Whoa," I muttered.

"Lindy," Annabeth breathed hard. "How did you do that?"

"I don't-"

"Duck!" Percy yelled. He pulled Annabeth and I down behind a few large boulders as more arrows flew over our heads.

"What is going on?" I asked, horrified.

"Just stay down," Percy said. He pulled out a pen and uncapped it. Before my eyes the pen turned into a long sword. If I had blinked I would have missed it. Annabeth pulled up her pant leg and she pulled a bronze knife out that was hooked to her ankle. I started to stand but Percy pulled me down again.

"Stay put," Annabeth told me. "We'll explain later." Then they ran off into the woods.

I was sure I was going crazy. What were they doing? They had to be just as crazy as I think I was. I saw the sword appearing Percy's hand. It had been a pen at first. A pen! A pen! I was crazy, I decided.

I decided to disobey what Annabeth told me and bolted for my cabin. I got inside, closed the door, locked it and leaned against it with my back. Unfortunately locking it did nothing. As soon as I walked away, it blew off its hinges.

A very large guy maybe my age, walked through the door. (His large bodies made me ponder on how old he was.) "You are going to come," the guy said, "The easy way, or the hard way." I didn't move which probably wasn't smart. He laughed and pulled a sword of his back. He lunged at me. I had just enough time to jump out of the way and run out the door.

I saw Annabeth's dad on the porch with Annabeth's step family. Her dad looked at me as I ran out the door. His expression turned into fright. I didn't stop, until I was hidden behind a cluster of trees and bushes.

I looked around and saw Annabeth sprawled out on the rocks we were by before. She looked unconscious. There was a boy and a girl guarding her.

My heart started beating faster. Where was Percy? That was going on? Why was I sucked into this? As I was trying to figure out these questions and trying to figure out what to do someone appeared behind me. I almost screamed but their hand clamped over my mouth.

"Don't say anything," Percy whispered. He removed his hand from my face and gave me the knife Annabeth had before. "She dropped it when they got to her. Thanks for running by the way."

"OH, you would have done the same thing." Percy questioned this for a moment, then shook it off.

"Just defend yourself. If you're a demigod, which I am almost 100% positive you are, you'll be able to use it."

"Demigod?" I asked

"I'll explain later if we get out of this. Just fight anyone that attacks you. The knife won't hurt mortals. Just follow me." He stood up partially. I followed him, looking behind us every once and a while.

Turns out, I noticed, we were circling around the woods to get to Annabeth from behind. We got so close when Percy stiffened and stood up straight. "Ethan," he growled the same guy that attacked me in the cabin stood in front of Percy. Percy stood his ground raising his sword.

"To bad Lord Kronos only wants her," He snickered, and his sword pointed to me. "And your girlfriend over there. Kronos wants you fresh for the war, so I will have to go easy on you. We won't kill you, much."

"I saved your life," Percy spat. "And this is how you repay me?"

"Sorry Percy. You always support the side that will win. Looks like you chose wrong."

"This time I won't spare your life." Percy lunged. As soon as he attacked another kid grabbed me from behind. On instincts, I stabbed the person in the stomach. They cried out. I ran towards Percy and Ethan, who were still fighting fiercely.

"Your way to out of practice Percy," Ethan said. He then caught Percy by surprise and hit in between the eyes with the butt of his sword. Percy fell to the ground. He was the only thing that stood in between Ethan and me.

A kid ran over to Percy and held him down. They poured something green into his mouth and he instantly stopped moving. "We have and hour," the kid said.

They then looked at me. I raised Annabeth's knife. They laughed, and I swallowed hard, took a deep breath then charged. The one kid took a step in front of me, and I caught his knife with mine. I kicked him in the stomach. Ethan charged at me and jumped to the side and slashed at his arm.

Then I ran. Through the woods, and over rocks I ran. I made it to a clearing. There was nothing there but tall grass. I dove in and started to crawl. I wasn't that noticeable, but if they could spot a dear in this, (which I could,) they could probably see me.

Halfway through the clearing, I began to hear yelling. I stood up and ran, which probably wasn't very smart, but I did it anyway.

Time froze again, but this time nothing was going to attack me. A voice sounded in my head. It sounded familiar. It was a man's voice and he said, "Give yourself up, child. For I am the god of Prophecy and you will be fine,"

I don't know why, but I listened. Time sped up again, and I stopped running. I fell to my knees, and before I knew it everything went black. My last thought was; How did I get sucked into this?

So now we are back to stuck in a dungeon. I still don't know what is going on, and Annabeth is still unconscious after almost a whole week of being here. I couldn't see outside so I couldn't count days, but I was sure it was about a week.

Suddenly, Annabeth stirred next to me. Finally she sat up quickly and said, "Percy," She took a look around, "Oh Zeus, not again."

"Annabeth," I said. "What is going on?"

"Right now," She said, "No clue,"

"No, I mean what have I gotten myself into?"

"I don't even know if you really are one," she muttered completely ignoring me.

"Annabeth," I said it more sternly so I could get her attention. "Am I a…a demigod? That's what Percy called me."

"Most likely," She said. She seemed to be in deep thought, like she was trying to think of a way out of here. "I don't think they would have taken you if they knew you weren't one."

"Annabeth," I said again after a moment. "What is going on?"

"Okay, here it goes." She sighed and glanced up the stairs to the locked door. "You know all the Greek gods and myths?" I nodded. Doesn't everyone learn about them in Social studies, eventually? "Well they aren't myths, they are real. The gods usually did what in the stories?"

I thought for a moment, and then it clicked. My stomach seemed to drop to the ground. "Th-they had kids with mortals." My voice almost cracked. "But they are just myths. They were, like, forgotten thousands of years ago because people discovered science."

"It's not like the gods just disappeared, Lindy. How would you like it if you were called a myth?" Annabeth tore her eyes away from the door, and glanced at me. "How would you feel if everyone forgot about you?"

"I wouldn't like it," I admitted after a moment.

"The gods didn't just disappear. They moved with the western civilization. They went from Greece, to Rome, and even to Spain for a little while. The gods didn't die, Lindy, they just moved."

"So, my dad… isn't gone?"

"No. He is one of the gods."

"Then why are we here?" Annabeth sighed yet again at my perplexing questions.

"The next titan war is upon us." She whispered. "Kronos's side is recruiting new demigods to join their side…" She paused then her eyes flew to mine. Hers were wide. "Lindy, whatever they say is wrong. They will threaten to kill you, but you can't join them,"

"Kill me?" joining their side sounded much better.

"Yes kill you. They are the wrong side to choose. You would die anyway in the end." I swallowed hard.

"When is the war?" I asked. Annabeth took in another sigh. It was like she thought I should know all of this.

"On Percy's sixteenth birthday, if he makes it to then, he will have to make a choice. The choice will save Olympus, or destroy it. He is a child of the Big Three. The next child born from Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades, according to the prophecy, that makes it to their sixteenth birthday, will lead Olympus one way or another."

The locked door opened. A large form appeared in the light of the door way. Ethan walked through. Annabeth glared at him, but didn't dare speak. "Adelinde," He said. I wanted to punch him. I hated it when people called me by my real name. "Lord Kronos calls for you."

"And if I don't go?" I thought I sounded brave, but Annabeth gave me a warning glance.

"Then lord Kronos won't be too happy," I got the message.

"Fine," I grumbled standing up. Ethan began to walk from the room, I followed. Ethan locked the doors behind us.

Out the door we went and into a rock hallway. It carved all of rock. At the end of the hallway, I saw a cliff that looked over a city I couldn't name. It suddenly felt like there was a giant rock on my back, that I needed to hold up, after a few steps I was panting a bit, from one the humid heat, and two the heavy feeling.

I stopped to take in a shaky breath, and then I walked on trying to act as brave as possible.

Out on the cliff, stood a few guards in armor. I couldn't make out what they looked like but I know I really did not want to find out either. Another person stood on the mountain. He looked like an average college guy. The only odd thing was that his eyes were a bronzy yellow.

"Annabeth has been telling you lies hasn't she?" the boy asked. His voice was much more deeper and powerful then I expected. "Lindy Scarlett- may I call you Lindy,"

"No," okay now I sound hypocritical, but I don't like this guy, just by the way he looks, and for what he did to me.

"Lindy Scarlett," he went on ignoring me. "We know perfectly well who you are, yes. But do you know who I am?" he spread his arms out wide gesturing himself. I shook my head, but instantly knew then answer after. "Honestly! Who teaches demigods these days? Child I am Kronos, lord of time." I looked at him doubtfully.

"Yes, I know," He continued. "This host is not well fit for me. Soon though, I will take my true from. With your help, of course if you accept it. With us," he put out his hand, "Everything will be better. All gods and goddesses will be treated equally. They will all have a thrown on Olympus! The Olympian gods will be destroyed!"

"I-I barely understand what you are talking about."

"All in good time my dear. You will just have to join us, the winning side." His hand still gestured for me. I was eager to take it. I felt like I should get down on my hands and knees and bow down to him. But, I didn't, and remembered Annabeth's warning.

"I can't," I said. Kronos put his hand down. "I won't,"

"Wrong answer child," A scythe appeared in his hands. I prepared myself for death. I prayed to any god out there, whoever they were, for a miracle. I closed my eyes.

Suddenly many guards burst through the door. "She," one panted, "Escaped. The other girl."

"WHAT!" Kronos raged. Ethan grabbed me from behind and pressed a sword to my chin. "Well," Kronos said after a moment, calming himself down, "What are you standing around for? Find her!"

"My Lord," Ethan said. "Shall we-"

"YOU!" Kronos shouted. "You did not think of searching her?"

"She was disarmed sir. I thought-"

"Yes you thought. Tell me Ethan, do you think this world developed from thought?" I resisted the urge to say yes, I'm sure Ethan did the same. "NO! It has become what it is today from action! Leave Lindy with me and find the other one!" Ethan let go of me shoving me to the ground, and ran off.

"Maybe you will reconsider your answer after a few days." Kronos said to me as Ethan left.
