Prologue:

The cold air slapped me in the face as I ran through the crowded streets of Manhattan. Why were they after my child, my baby girl? I was able to Iris message one of my closest friends, Melissa Westbrook. She was now at her job which I took her to. I ran through the doors and gave her a frantic look.

"Over here Justin!" I practically jumped over the counter with my crying baby in my left arm and Melissa lead me into a storage room and she pulled out a small box.

"I'll take care of her, you want me to take her to Camp Jupiter?"

"No you can't take her there. She must be a secret or else she'll be in danger." I say frantically.

"But she'll be protected? Who's her mother?" I hesitated to answer this question.

"Justin…who's her mother? Why can't you raise her in Camp Jupiter?"

"Because her mom is Athena okay," I kissed Naya on her little forehead and she began to calm down. I tried to pretend I didn't notice the look on Melissa's face.

"You mean Minerva?" she tried to clarify.

"No Athena, as in Minerva in her Greek aspect,"

"How could you Justin! And with her" she gave me a disgusted look.

"Don't judge me okay. Please just take care of my baby. I love her with all my heart and if anything happens to her I'll kill myself." Melissa's face softened.

"For how long?"

"Until I can find someplace safe and take care of her,"

"okay, keep in contact. Be safe Justin this baby needs her father," I handed Naya to Melissa who seemed to fall in love at the sight of her. "she's beautiful!"

"I know, bye sweetheart be good for Daddy," she smiles at me sweetly and it breaks my heart. Before I started to cry I said goodbye and hurried out of the diner. Where I was cornered and attacked by giants.

Naya's POV

Today was another sucky day for me. I decided to talk to principal Wiggins and ask if he could Danielle in the same classes as me. That way she could help me with my work since my dyslexia just seemed to get worse. My teachers thought I was stupid and I couldn't stand it when people made fun of me because I couldn't read like today when the teacher called on me to read aloud and I could only make out 3 words. After I spoke to the principal he changed Danielle's classes and I was a lot happier, even though I got shoved in the locker because I was by myself and I had to walk home since I missed the bus.

I reached my apartment and when I walked in there was a note near the door. I snatched it and looked at it. It was an eviction notice,I recognized the form and the bold red letters, and I became angry. He didn't pay the bills again!? Wait til Melissa sees this.

"Melissa!" I called out. No answer. Then I heard a strange squeaking noise coming from her bedroom. As I walked towards her room I heard the bed springs and moaning. Ugh! She was having sex….again! I was disgusted, so I just walked into the kitchen and began to fix myself dinner like, I've had to do since Jason came along. While eating I decided to call Danielle.

"Hello?" she answers.

"Yea Danni this is Naya,"

"Oh hey Naya, what's up?"

"Nothing much. I'm just eating dinner. I got your schedule changed by the way."

"Oh that's great! You have the copy of my schedule?"

"Yup it's all packed up and ready to go,"

"okay good so am I coming over tonight?"

"Yea I need you to help me with my homework,"

"Okay I'll be there in ten,"

"Kay, see you in a minute,"

"Kay bye,"

"bye" the phone call ended and so did the annoying sex sounds. A few minutes later when I was in my room Jason decided to come in wearing nothing but briefs and he gave me a smirk.

"What do you want Jason?"

"I don't like you're tone"

"And I don't give a rat's booty hole," he grabbed me and pinned me to the wall so quickly I almost peed on myself.

"Watch how you talk to me little girl," he lifted my chin so I could look at him then his face relaxed and he started looking at me in a way that made me uncomfortable.

"Where's Melissa?"

"She went to grab some pizza since you were too selfish to cook dinner for anyone else," I felt one of his hands slide down to my waist and caress my thigh.

"Stop please," my voice began to tremble. He made me do things to him that made me feel so dirty. He touched me in ways that I could get him arrested for, but I never said anything. I was too scared. Since the last time he violated me I made sure not to ever be alone with him. If only I had known she was leaving… His hand unzipped my pants and entered my panties. I jumped at the touch of his hand exploring me down there. I kneed him in the balls and ran towards the door but he caught me and pinned me down. Then the doorbell rang. Yes!

"Coming Danielle!" I yelled. Jason glared at me then let me go so I could answer the door. When she saw me her jaw almost dropped.

"What happened to you?"

"I uh slipped in the bathroom when I rushed to come answer the door," she gave me a skeptical look and I could tell she knew I was lying.

"Yea okay," she walks in and goes straight to my room. I zip up my pants and practically run into my room and shut the door. Then we do our homework. Then she spends the night and I'm able to sleep safely while Melissa went to work.

The Next Day

We wake up bright and early the next day so we can grab breakfast somewhere else. Since, Danielle wanted to meet her boyfriend Grover, who she hasn't seen in forever.

"I don't wanna be a third wheel Danielle," I whine. She doesn't stop pulling me forward towards Mimi's Café.

"You won't be. Grover is bringing a few of his friends," my mood brightened when she told me that. I was finally able to see the upside in this, at least I'd finally be meeting Grover.

Percy's POV

Annabeth and I decided to go with Grover to see his girlfriend Danielle. It was nice that Grover finally found a girlfriend of the same species. She was pretty and I think he was better off with her even though they seemed to be the opposite of each other.

"You sure we won't be cramping your style Grover?" I asked as we turned the corner near the café.

"Nah man besides there's someone I want you to meet," he bounces his eyebrows playfully.

"Who? And why?" Annabeth rolled her eyes and continued to walk silently.

"Her name is Naya and she's Danielle's demigod assignment. She's real pretty too," I shrugged my shoulders and just went with it.

"So you're letting Grover set you up now seaweed brain?" she asked sarcastically.

"No one said anything about setting anything up I'm just meeting her like you are," she rolls her eyes and we approach the café. Grover looks through the window and jumps up excitedly when he sees Danielle.

"Come on, there they are!" He practically swung open the door and walked over to the table fastly. I finally reached the table and saw the most beautiful girl. The best part is that she wasn't perfect, she had braces and her skin wasn't completely smooth but she was so pretty. She had long thick wavy hair that fell to her hips and the most beautiful blue eyes. What's strange is that when she laid eyes on me they began to turn a blue-greenish color that was so unique. She had nice monroe piercing that complimented her soft beautiful lips. Her smile was enhanced by her deep dimples and the fact that her eyes were so big. Her body was nice too even though she wasn't as skinny as most girls, but I liked it. She was sexy. When she noticed me checking her out she started blushing. Awww how cute was that?

Naya's POV

My cheeks felt hot when I noticed the boy that came with Grover looking at me. He was tall, probably six feet, and had black hair and sea green eyes that seemed to peer into my soul. He was so sexy to me I couldn't help but blush. I thought Grover was pretty cute to, I could totally see why Danielle loved him. He was so her type. There was another girl too she had blonde hair, had pretty gray eyes, and looked about 5 "8" or "9" it was still a lot taller than me, and she was of course skinny. She looked pretty mean but I tried not to judge her.

"I missed you so much baby!" Danielle hugged Grover tightly and I decided to stand up and not be rude.

"I missed you too Danni Bannanie," Ugh! Was that his nickname for her? I couldn't help but laugh but I stopped almost instantly when the girl and the boy looked at me. I wish I knew their names.

"Grover this is Naya the girl I've been talking about and Naya this is my boyfriend Grover and his two friends Annabeth and Percy," Grover held out his and I shook it with a friendly smile. Then Percy did the same and I felt an electric current go through my body when I touched him which caused me to bush again.

"Nice to meet you," I said to all of them. Then we all sat down and got a little something to eat. Danielle laughed at me because I was being so shy when she knew I really wasn't like this. I wonder what Percy thought of me? Soon enough it was time to go, and we had to go to school. Luckily I was able to persuade the front office to let Percy, Annabeth, and Grover come to school with us for the day. When it came to lunch time I was in for another embarrassment.

"Aye bubble butt! When you gonna learn how to read?" Drew said mocking me. Everyone knew that I couldn't read, why did they feel the need to do this every day?

"Just ignore him," Percy says grabbing a lunch. The cool thing was I found out Percy and Annabeth were dyslexic too. It made me feel a whole lot better even though mines was a lot worse.

"Aye metal mouth! I know you hear us!" Another boy named Jared said throwing an orange peel at my face. I kept walking and tried hard not to cry. Then one of the cheerleaders tripped me sending my food flying into the air and landing in my hair. Tons of people started laughing and Percy helped me up. Then I dashed to the bathroom crying. I was so angry! Why didn't I fight back!? Why was I bullied everywhere I go! I'm so tired of it. I smashed two of the bathroom mirrors without even thinking. Then I heard two voices in my head I named them Terra and the other Kayla. I never told anyone but I was diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, there are time when I become a completely different person. One day I'm super sensitive and girly but the next I'm ready to fight or I'm super brainy. It was something I kept to myself. I was already short, fat, had braces, illiterate, hyper, but to make things worse I was partly crazy.

I was crying my eyes out when Danielle and Annabeth came into the bathroom out of breath. They probably ran in, when a girl went to wash her hands she saw what I had did to the mirrors. No doubt I was getting in trouble for this.

"Hey, it's okay. They were just being stupid. Let's get you cleaned up." She pulls my arm so that I get up from the floor and she helps get the ketchup and mash potatoes out of my hair. I still cried though. Annabeth tired to soothe me but there was honestly nothing I could do. By the time we were out lunch was over and it was time to go to my next class. Grover suggested Percy walk me to my locker while he took Danielle and Annabeth came along.

"Are you okay?" he asked. I wasn't feeling well. I didn't really want to talk with anyone.

"Yea," I say softly.

"Doesn't seem like it. Those guys were total jerks, trust me I'll make sure it doesn't happen again." I couldn't help but smile. I opened up my locker and got my things then I went to class. I was fortunate enough to make it to class without being harassed., but I had to admit I was going to my least favorite class English.

I sat in the back of the class as always and pulled out the book. For some reason I was able to write but not read. So I decided to take out my book and write poetry like I always did in that class. The worst thing was that I couldn't read what I wrote -_- . Once again we began to read aloud and the teacher called on me. I was determined to do this. I was able to read about two sentences very slowly then the words jumped off the page and scattered around. I started reading everything wrong and people laughed. Tears welled up in my eyes once again and I snapped.

"Damn it! You know I can't read! You do this to me every day! You're my teacher you're supposed to be helping me!" I threw the book across the room and it broke the window.

"Naya Rodriguez your behavior is unacceptable!" The room became quiet and Danielle tugged at my arm but I snatched it away.

"I don't give a rat's booty hole! I'm not going to accept this any longer. You can all kiss my mother freakin rear view mirror!" I heard a few ooohs. People really haven't seen this side of me.

"You should give up on life! You call yourself a teacher! Well you can keep teaching these retarded Apes for all I care!" I storm out of the room only to be stopped by security a few feet away.

"Well you saved us the trip little girl come with us," the two men looked sinister and I was alone. My hands became clammy and my heart was beating so fast I felt like it was going to explode. Suddenly I had flashbacks of when Jason hurt me, when he violated me. I became scared that I was about to be raped and I started screaming.

"Danielle!" I screamed and I started running. Within seconds Annabeth, Percy, Grover and Danielle were running out the classroom. Someone tripped me and I felt something wrap around my leg and pull me. I continued screaming until I was in the schools boiler room. It was dark and I heard a humming noise.

"Hello my sweety!" suddenly there was someone pinning me to the wall. when I look down I noticed something weird. She had one bronze leg and one goat leg. What the heck is this!? I screamed and she laughed.

"Stupid demigod. It's pathetic to think you were to be one of the greatest heroes," She smiled and revealed long viscous fangs. Then my necklace began to glow. I had the urge to touch it and when I did there was a strong blue force field that pushed her away then it became pink. The diamonds on the key began to shine brightly almost blinding the hideous monsters in front of me.

"What's this!?" the creature screamed. Percy and Annabeth started fighting. All of a sudden I saw Percy's pen turn into a sword and Annabeth's cap made her disappear. Its official. I am now insane. Another creature attacked me from behind but was shocked by the force field that came from my necklace, which I was holding onto for dear life.

"Think of a weapon" I heard a calm voice say. I didn't want to fight, I didn't want to be in this situation. I wanted to be somewhere else. I began singing an ancient chant that I was fascinated with after listening to it in the credits of the movie Troy with Brad Pitt. The ground began to shake and the monsters busted into a cloud of white and turquoise glitter and dust. Everyone was gawking at me but all I did was melt and cry. I was so scared. What was wrong with me!? I was going crazy. What if they put me in a straight jacket and lock me in a padded room for the rest of my life!? What if I'm one of those people they have to sedate every two hours and put in a dark isolated room!? I began to panic and I couldn't breathe. I heard someone from a distance telling me to calm down but I couldn't. My heart started beating faster and faster until I couldn't take it anymore. I had flashes of me going crazy. Of being tied up. Left alone and abandoned. Or being sedated and abused. It was all too much so I screamed and the world became black.

When I woke up I felt extremely light headed. There were a pair of brown and another of green watching me. It was Percy and some other man with a beard. I clutched the necklace in my hand tightly as I nearly fell out of bed.

"It's okay little one. You're safe here, we won't harm you." The man said calmly.

"Wh- Wh- Where am I?" I stuttered.

"Camp Half-Blood," Percy answered calmly he brushed a streak of my hair out of my face and behind my ear. If I wasn't so scared I would've probably blushed.

"It's a camp for demigods like you who need to be trained, educated and protected," the man continued.

"Demigods? as in Greek mythology?" I asked skeptically. Was I hearing things wrong?

"Yes, that's exactly it my dear," he says while eating a grape.

"So you're saying that I'm half…" my voice trailed off and I became distracted. I hadn't taken my medication for my ADHD or my anxiety. I was in bad shape.

"God…yea you are. But you are undetermined," Percy answers. My face scrunches up.

"Meaning…I don't know who my parents are…I don't have powers…what?" I ask.

"You haven't been claimed by your parent yet," I lift my eyebrow at Percy skeptically. Then suddenly I feel defiant and rebellious.

"Okay so who are you and why do you have a horse's ass?" I ask rudely. 3 seconds later I regret it badly.

"Oh gosh I'm so so so sorry I didn't mean that," I clutched my necklace even tighter. Percy and Chiron look confused then their faces relax.

"It's okay we understand. I'm Chiron, a centaur, and I train demigod heroes here at the camp."

"Ahh" Is all I managed to say. I can't lie I was always into Greco-Roman mythology. So yes I had extensive knowledge of it.

"So that thing that attacked me…was an empousa thingy?"

"Yes, it was how did you know? Percy asked. I shrugged my shoulders and laid back down tiredly.

"Well it's best you get your rest. You can see Danielle later at dinner," Chiron turns and walks away of should I say prance O.o

"I was scared. You freaked out so badly…" he says putting his head down.

"Why would you want to talk to a crazy person…you should go talk to some friends or something,"

"You aren't crazy Naya," my heart jumped at the sound of my name.

"Yes, I am. You have no idea, you don't even know me."

"Well while you were out I've learned a lot of things about you,"

"Yea sure, like what?"

"I know you have a passion for music, you love to dance and sing, your favorite colors are white, blue, and pink, you're 13 going on 14, you're really smart, your dad…well he kind of abandoned you, you have dyslexia and ADHD, along with a mild case of multiple personality disorder." I shot up at the last part.

"How did you know that," I glared at him.

"Danielle was discussing these things with Chiron. It's natural to freak out when things like this first happen but not the way you did. Just know you can talk to me,"

"How did she know?" he chuckled a bit.

"She knows everything about you…plus you talk in your sleep," he starts to blush. Oh gosh, what did he hear?

"Why are you blushing? What did you hear when I was knocked out,"

"You were laughing and I guess you were having a dream about some guy and you were talking to someone about him," my cheeks got all hot. I did have a dream about telling Danielle I liked Percy and we had got together and….well you know. I smashed my face into my pillow hoping I could just die.

"Don't be embarrassed, I talk in my sleep too," he said soothingly.

"Did I say his name?" I mumbled into the pillow…I didn't want to see his face but in no doubt he was probably blushing or uncomfortable.

"Yea…," he said softly.

"I'm so sorry," I cried. Why did I have to feel this way!

"Don't be…I like you too," he pulls the pillow away and tries to get me to look at him.

"you shouldn't. I'm nothing special, I'm a stupid illiterate person who is seconds away from being completely insane,"

"Stop putting yourself down. Come with me I want to take you somewhere," he held out his hand and I hesitated before I took it.
