Hello persons of fanfiction! My name is Sam, and Derek and I are here to publish our first story, so wish us luck!

~Summary~: When Percy lost the war and all demigods that were out there, even those that worked for the Titans, were betrayed and put in prison. This is the life of Max and Melanie Solomon, twin demigods, as they try to break out of their prison and find out who their godly parent is. But their ultimate goal is to break out the necessary heroes: Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, and Nico di Angelo. Since Percy's sixteenth birthday has already passed and it's been almost an entire year, Nico has to prepare himself for his own success. If the twins can bust him out, of course.

Enjoy!

We do not own PJO since I'm not a guy that is married with two kids, and Derek is not married either.

~Chapter 1: The Beginning~

August of 2009 had to be the worst month of my life.

Don't get me wrong, I usually love summer vacation. Especially August, since it is close to my birthday. The only bad time about that month is the fact that it means going back to school soon, and if there is one thing that I hate more than Kronos, it's school.

Okay, I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. You probably don't know who and what I'm talking about. To tell you the entire story, I'm just going to have to start at the beginning. The very long ago beginning.

You know Greek mythology? Well, it's not all myths and stories for bedtime and school assignments. It's real. Every last bit of it is true, and the gods really existed. They had kids with mortals and those kids turned out to be demigods, or half-bloods. The demigods ended up saving the day and defeating some villain or monster in the stories. So yes, the gods were real.

In fact, they're still real today.

They live in modern New York on the sixth-hundredth floor to the Empire State Building, which is Mount Olympus.

I know what you're all thinking: There is no sixth-hundredth floor to that building!

Well, guess what? You're wrong.

You just never see Mount Olympus because of something called the Mist, which causes mortals not to see average stuff like monster attacks and Hermes flying around on his winged shoes. Only certain mortals can see through the Mist, and those mortals are very rare these days.

Do you remember Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos? The guy that was the ruler of Crete and made Athens pay 'blood money' for the death of his son? Well, Ariadne gave Theseus, a demigod hero, a ball of twine to guide him through the Labyrinth. But Ariadne could see through the Mist, so she helped in Theseus's escape.

Do you remember how I mentioned that the Greek gods are still around? Well, they still have kids with mortals. I guess the saying 'old habits die hard' is true to them.

As for the kids they have, well, they usually turn out to be heroes. They go on quests to save the world and other movie-cliche stuff like that. There are demigods from the twelve that have thrones on Olympus, and then there are children of the minor gods.

There's a camp where they all go to when they get old enough. Camp Half-Blood. Camp is a place where most demigods end up to learn how to defend themselves from Greek monsters that find demigods appetizing and a great way to get a snack.

I know, the monsters sound unbelievable, but they're real. Most demigods end up at camp after surviving a monster attack and a satyr will usually rescue them and bring them to camp. That's not what happened with me and Melanie, though. We were just sent to camp when our mom thought we were old enough. We were about ten.

Melanie is my twins sister. We're fraternal twins, I guess you could say. I'm a guy and she's a girl. We both look kind of different. Her hair is darker than mine, and our eyes are always changing colors. It's kind of weird and it makes finding out who our dad is more complicated than it should be.

Yeah, our godly parent is a guy. Our mom turned out to be the mortal. We were sent to camp at the age of ten, and we learned how to fight against monsters. I was always best with arrows and knives while Melanie was the sword girl. She's good with dagger throwing, but I think that she's better with a sword. She claims that I'm best with a bow.

As we lived at camp, we heard the different stories and met new people. This guy named Percy Jackson was the subject of some prophecy to save the world at the age of sixteen. He was the guy that Melanie and I saw at the Big House on the day we arrived. He was walking out as we were walking in, and he gave a us a wave and a hello. We never really talked to him more than that, but we crossed paths a few times after.

When we were about twelve, Melanie and I still hadn't been claimed. We were both angry that our god parent wouldn't claim us as their own, so we joined the Titans. They had promised to make the world better and help us get the answers that we most wanted to know.

Too bad for us that they lied.

Somehow, Kronos beat Percy by knocking the knife away from him so that he couldn't stab his weak spot. Kronos changed into his new form, burning Luke to a crisp as he did so, and Percy, Annabeth, and Grover were forced to retreat and go find Thalia where she was still laying under some rubble from a broken statue that had fallen before Percy confronted Kronos. They got out, but they were later caught trying to go through the streets.

Melanie and I thought it was victory. Our side had won and we were happy about it. A few days later, though, everything changed.

All demigods and gods, including the ones on the Titans side, were seen as a liability. We were all thrown in prison where we couldn't do any harm to Kronos and his army of monsters and Titans. I even heard that he kept the four main heroes, Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico, chained to the wall in his throne room where he could keep and eye on them and where they wouldn't cause too much trouble.

Melanie and I were separated. Okay, not entirely separated, since she had a cell in front of mine where we could see each other, but they had separated us in that way. I felt distant from her then, and I kept thinking how idiotic we were to have believed a deceitful guy like Kronos.

Kronos had promised us something that we had wanted, and we fell for it. He had lied an locked us away like we were nothing but trash.

I think it's kind of obvious when I say that none of the demigods are loyal to him anymore.

That's how everything begins though. Melanie and I, no longer loyal to the Titans, plot our escape. We plan to bust everyone out of the prisons, even though it seems like an impossible job. I don't think we can, but Melanie has a 'gut feeling' that we'll succeed. I've learned the hard way that her gut feelings are usually correct.

I'm just another person affected by a stupid war. I'm only thirteen, and this is where joining the wrong side got me.

And this, dear readers, is my story.

Yeah, so that was our prologue. There should be more action later on, but for now this is all you get until you review!

Like it? Hate it? Haven't decided yet? Well, review and let us know what you think, please! CC would be appreciated if someone gives any!
