A/N: Hey Everyone so this is my first fanfic so please no flames. I plan on making this a 5-part series and this would be the first book. So I'm really lazy and I'll try to post once a week but I might not but if I can get 10 reviews I will post another chapter today. The more reviews the quicker the updates and please don't think this is a way to get more reviews it just I'm lazy and reviews help me get up and actually write. Wow long anyways here's chappy 1. P.S TOA spoilers

Disclaimer: I don't own ANYTHING except the characters I made up and the plot.

Samantha Valdez

I woke up to my alarm going off. The sun is bright reflecting my whole room. I water my plants and there

everywhere since my bed is pushed to the side leaving more room for my plants. After watering all the

plants that I have on my desk I go to the window plants. I have giant windows that almost occupy the

entire walls. Once I'm done I walk over to my small wooden closet and grab the first thing I see which is

a winter coat and that won't work since I live in New York and its summer I'll let you figure it out. The

next thing I get is a tunic shirt, flower shorts and crème flats that lace up to me thighs. I don't bother to

brush my hair since that would take me 3 days I just put a flower headband on and go. I always wear my

flower headband since I have Demeter powers and the headband amplifies them. Oh, you must be

wondering how does a daughter of Calypso and Leo have Demeter Powers? I mean my dad is a fire user

and my mom lost her powers well… I'm adopted. Not really adopted just one day my mom found me as

a newborn on the front steps with a note that said: "from the Gods to Leo Valdez and Calypso Valdez".

Over time my parents just guessed I was a daughter of Demeter because of my powers since I have

never been claimed which is weird since after the second titan war my Uncle Percy said all demi-gods

must be claimed by the age of 12 and I turned 12 in September. Anyway, once I'm downstairs I see that

the kitchen is on fire then it goes out since my house is fireproof. Hey, when you have 2 fire users in one

house you have to make sure your house stays standing. I was wondering if it was my brother Aaron or

my dad my question gets answered when my mom tells Aaron to be more careful and trying to be

serious while my dad is laughing in the background. He goes up to Aaron and says "that's my boy" which

earns him a slap from my mom. If you're thinking whoa she describes this so naturally even though

what's going on is crazy, well this is my house and this happens on a regular basis yeah. Even though

Aaron and I aren't actual brother/sister he looks a lot like me except his hair is a darker brown almost

black while mine is a more Caramel, and wavier, less curly but I have brown eyes and so does he. Then I

go over to the table and say good morning to my mom and dad. My mom says good morning back while

my dad is still laughing. Then Aaron (who by the way is 16yrs old) says

"So excited for camp Sam?"

"Yes, this is the first year I get to go!"

"You are going to love it. Camp is the best place in the world"

Dad who finished laughing says

"And hey you might get claimed"

"Don't we already know it's Demeter?"

"That's our guess but you haven't been claimed yet."

"Why?"

"I don't know maybe Demeter thinks you're not as great as the BigMcshizzle Supreme therefore not

worthy enough to get claimed" he says it in mocking tone but mom then adds

"Leo you didn't get claimed until you were 16"

I stick my tongue out at him and he does the same I know, childish, but dad never stops being childish with Aaron and me then my mom says

"Alright, you two. Sam, Aaron you better get going or you'll be late for your last day of school."

With that, we say bye to our mom and dad and Aaron quickly grabs another piece of bacon before

heading out the door (boys). Aaron takes me to school for safety reasons even though it's just around

the corner but with a demi-god/legacy you never know. Once I get to school Aaron and I say our

goodbyes and he heads to his school. The school I go to is called "Goode Junior High" my parents went

to Goode but they also opened a Junior High. The minute I step in I'm greeted by a hug that almost

knocks me down. My friend Carmen is looking at me beaming then I ask

"Why are you so happy"

"I'm going to Camp Jupiter" did I mention Carmen is a demi-god daughter of Venus

"Really!" wait let me explain Camp Jupiter is a year-round camp unlike Camp Half-blood which gives you

the option of year round and Carmen's dad has been reluctant to let her go but she really wants to go

since she is a Roman demi-god I guess her dad let her go

"Yeah, my dad said that I have to call him every day but I can GO!"

"Yay. I'm so happy for you" then the realization dawns on me, I am never going to see her, only maybe

on Christmas, but she will want to spend time with her dad on Christmas and me with my family. My

smile fades and turns into a frown, Carmen completely oblivious to why I am sad gives me a questioning

look so I explain.

"Camp Jupiter is a year-round camp"

"Yeah," she says still not getting it

"I'm going to Camp Half-blood not a year round camp"

"Yeah" I can't believe she is still not getting it

"You are going to a year-round camp" she is STILL oblivious to what I'm saying

"Carmen don't you get it" I'M NOT GOING TO SEE YOU AGAIN! Well not for a long time!"

Her excitement fades, then she screams. I have no idea why until I see a spider. I let out a sigh at

Carmen. She can kill monsters but whenever she sees any type of bug she freaks out saying it's gross.

Then my other friend who is a mortal Danny comes up and kills it with his book -

"No!" I yell

"What?"

"That's a living thing you can't just kill it! You can grab it gently and take it outside!"

"Was a living thing"

I grab the spider and somehow heal it -ok weird, then take it outside and head back to my friends. Both

Carmen and Danny (who by the way is a clear-sighted mortal who knows we're demi-gods) are looking

at me with confused looks.

"How did you do that?" Danny asks

"I have no idea"

"Well… we should … um …head to class"

"Yeah how about we forget that happened"

"Agreed," Danny and Carmen say in unison

We head to Biology class where we are dissecting frogs yippee! (note the sarcasm). I hate the fact that

they use poor innocent animals as science experiments. The teacher is discussing the rules and what we

are going to do with the frogs as I whisper to Carmen who is to my left

"These frogs were living things how could they just ask us to open them up to see how they work. How

would they like it if somebody killed them just to see how they worked? It's the exact same thing except

worse because the frogs can't defend themselves"

Mr. Lucas sees me whispering

"Miss Valdez is there something you'd like to share with the class?"

When teachers say this, most students stop talking and apologize or something along the lines so he

isn't expecting this

"In fact, there is something I'd like to share," I say.

He raises an eyebrow at me and says

"Oh"

"Well Mr. Lucas, how could you expect us to dissect these frogs when someone killed them for the sake

of experimentation? How would you like it if someone killed you, then took you to a class to be opened

up and experimented with? This is the exact same thing maybe even worse because those frogs couldn't

fight back! How could you bring those poor frogs into our classroom?"

When I finished talking I wished those frogs could just be brought back to life and jump back to where

they came from so we wouldn't have to open them. As if on command all of the frogs started jumping

out of the classroom causing Carmen to scream and stand on her chair yelling "Gross Slimy frogs" When

the commotion finally dies down and everyone goes back to their seats the bell saved me from an

explanation and I darted out of the classroom. Once far enough from the classroom so that I wouldn't

bump into Mr. Lucas I stopped. Most people would be out of breath for running that fast that far but I

have run way faster and way longer distances because of monsters. Carmen was first to catch up since

she also is a pretty good runner I think the whole demi-god/ legacy thing kinda makes you have to be a

good runner. When Danny catches up they give me questioning looks.

"What happened?" Danny asked

"I have no idea what happened in there"

"Wait isn't Apollo-like the god of healing and other stuff maybe you're his child"

"No, unless he really and I mean REALLY likes you will he bless you with the power to heal. His children

are just superior archers, musicians and healers they can't actually heal people"

We stood there silently thinking about what happened. Then the bell rang indicating the next class. The

rest of the day went by smoothly until the end of school. I said bye to Carmen who had promised to text

and call me every day and told Danny I'd see him when school starts again. I went to go wait for my

brother who gets out 30mins later than I do when I heard rumbling coming from the side of my school. I

walk over carefully hoping it's not a monster and if it is they don't see me because I left my belt. Ok, that

probably sounds weird but it turns into a belt and sheath with a sword in it guess who made that? If you

guessed Hephaestus, then you are mistaken my dad made a lot of these for legacy's and demi-gods who

live in the real world since it's easier to disguise. I had thought I would be fine and it was the last day of

school before summer what could go wrong? The answer to my question everything could go wrong

because at that moment I saw 10 hellhounds and one saw me!

A/N Wow this was really long and I was planning on making this one a full fight but I decided to leave it one a cliffhanger for 1 to annoy you and 2 because I really didn't want it to get this long. If I can get 3 reviews, I'll post a chapter tomorrow I promise. So I know this was kinda boring but it was info you had to know about her in order to know one of the main characters. If you see any mistakes PM me and I'll edit it.
