A/N: 3-4 yrs after last olympian (the last book I cared to read)

I stumbled up a hill as a blonde girl in an orange tee shouted at me to hurry up. I pushed off the ground when I fell. I saw her pull out a knife. Wait, why does she have a knife? Is she gonna kill the guy? He's creepy as frick, but you can't kill someone for that, I thought as I made it to the cease of the hill. I turned around to see the girl stab him. He didn't fall over; he turned to dust. I blinked a few times before she made it to me and dragged me down the other side. I saw a blue house come into view along with a hill, which had a pavilion on it, and a bunch of huge cabins. She dragged me to the house and I got plenty of awed and angry looks.

"Chiron, I need you to find her a home," she said as she stopped me. I stared up at the half horse man. I must have looked like an idiot because she turned the attention to her again. "I don't know anything about her, expect that she's a demigod." I giggled at the false comment. "What's so funny?"

I waved my hand, dismissing the question, as Chiron, the half horse man, said "So, what's your name?"

I cleared my throat as someone approached. "Chiron, can I get your help?" He seemed very similar to my dad with his sandy blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Just a minute, Austin," Chiron motioned with his hands for a bit. I cringed at the thought of thinking "Austin" was cute in any way. It would be like hitting on my dad. I shook my head, getting the thought out of my head. "Are you okay?" he asked, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Oh, yeah. It's just... hitting on your dad," I shook my head some more. "Stop that," I muttered as I slid to my knees.

"This might be a good time for you to get more of your siblings, Austin."

I woke up with the same girl feeding me a yellowish paste. It oddly tasted like my favorite food, this "skinny Cajun chicken penne"(A/N: recipe link at the end). I took another spoonful before I sat up, pushing the spoon aside. I swallowed as I addressed her, "So, what's your name?"

"I could ask you the same thing," she laughed. "But you asked first, so... I'm Annabeth." I nodded, think that my name was less self-respecting.

"I'm Juli." I looked out the window to my right. The sun hurt my eyes, but I didn't mind. "It's nice out."

"It sure is. When you're okay, you can go outside, too," she said as I fell out of the bed. "Oh, gods. Are you alright?" I nodded, standing up. I walked out the door before she caught me, which wasn't long after. "You can't just leave."

"Watch me," I said as I ran to the cabins. Once I lost her, I sat behind one of the cabins. The soft moss was a nice seat under a pine. I leaned my head against the cabin as I caught me breath. Why couldn't my parents have been different? Why did both of them have to be... I stopped thinking to hear footsteps. They sounded close, so I got up and took off again. I ran until I ran into a guy. He had jet black hair and sea green eyes. He seemed as shocked and sorry as I felt.

"Oh, sorry," he said as he climbed to his feet to help me up. "I'm Percy and you must be new here." I blushed at the true statement. "And you're..."

"I'm Juli. I'm sorry. I bumped into you. You see I was running away from this guys," I said as I pointed behind me.

"Who?" I glanced back to see no one running.

"A girl named Annabeth," I said, turning back to Percy.

"My fiancée is chasing you?" Percy raised an eyebrow.

"And Chiron."

"You got off on the wrong foot then. They're great people," Percy wanted to reason. "Mostly."

"Well, they want my head," I glanced back over my shoulder.

"I'll just tell them it's a misunderstanding," he said, grabbing my wrist and dragging me back to the horrid blue house. I twisted and pulled, but that did nothing. I stopped struggling and walked next to Percy, when he let go of my wrist. I blinked a couple of times before I turned to see what was up. A kid about my age, fourteen, smiled at everyone who rubbed his head. We connected eyes before I turned away.

"Who's that?" I said, covering my feelings.

"That's my friend I haven't seen in years. His name is Nico de Angelo," he said, grabbing my wrist and dragging me once more.

First thing I noticed was his love for the color black and his black hair and his dark skin. I felt like a Titan was dragging me to my death; that's how much I didn't want to get near this kid. My body was sending up red flags and flares. I twisted and stopped walking as much as I could before I stood next to him.

"Who this?" Nico said, hiding the same feelings. I smiled, thinking, I might have a chance. "Percy, she's kinda freaking me out, which is hard to do."

"Oh, sorry, Nico. This is Juli. She's new here," Percy introduced me. Annabeth pushed to the front, causing me to be pushed against Percy. I quickly pushed away.

"Juli, I found you. Thank the gods. Now, come back," she said, grabbing my wrist. What is with these people and wrist grabbing? I thought as I pulled out of her grasp.

"I'm not going with anyone. At least not yet," I said as Chiron stood next to Percy.

"Do you know what your parent's cabin is?" Chiron asked as he turned to me.

"Of course, but it might be tricky," I said, looking to someone for support. No one came.

"How so?"

"My parents were the demigods."
