CHAPTER ONE

The morning started off as any other in Camp Half Blood. Demi-gods did their activities normally. The children of Apollo were practicing their archery while the children of Ares sword fought in the arena. Percy walked out of the Poseidon cabin in a relatively awful mood. It had been on their two year anniversary that Annabeth had broken up with him. He was just about to turn eighteen, hoping that they could go out in the world together. But all those plans went to Hades the morning of their anniversary.

He shook his head angrily, not even wanting to think about it. It had been two days since said event and he still couldn't get it out of his mind. He kind of blamed for the camp, if the days hadn't been so predictable, he might have forgotten it by now. Not like that would happen. People said hello to him as he passed, but he ignored them, heading up to the Big House.

Chiron stood on the porch of the Big House and watched Percy as he strode towards him. "Chiron," he said quietly, looking up at the centaur.

"Percy, I'm glad you're here. I was just about to tell someone to fetch you. We need to talk," his voice was as serious as Percy had heard since the battle with the Titans. "Okay?" Percy raised an eyebrow and followed Chiron into the Big House, into the rec room which was also known as the meeting room for the Cabin Councilors. Except that not every cabin was represented, only the Ares, Athena, and Hades cabin, as well as Percy who was in charge of the Poseidon cabin. Nico was standing in the shadows in a corner of the room, his arms crossed. Annabeth sat with Clarisse on the couch in the middle of the room. Percy avoided her gaze and sat down on the ping pong table, looking over at Chiron.

"Okay, what is this about?" he asked. The Ares, Athena, Poseidon, and Hades were the cabins with the most powerful counselors. Hades and Poseidon because they were two of the three major Olympian gods and Athena and Ares because they were two of the most driven.

"We have a problem, a few days ago, a girl wandered through the boundaries of the camp. She has no memories whatsoever, only her name. We do not know what she is. She obviously isn't a mortal, and not a demi god either. There is an Olympian Council occurring right now in Olympus, that is why Mr. D isn't here. It includes the major and minor deities. We want to know who this child is. No one has yet claimed her, none of the gods know who she is either. It has worried us greatly and I want you four to help us."

The room was quiet for a few minutes. This was a lot to take in this early in the morning. Finally, Annabeth spoke up. "How are we supposed to help?"

Chiron looked over at her. "Well, Annabeth. I'm hoping that you four can spend time with her, something. Maybe it will help her memory return if she is introduced to familiar things."

Percy sighed and nodded. They had to do this; it had to be serious if Chiron was asking for their help. "I'll do it," he said, speaking loudly. "What's her name?" he asked, knowing everyone was thinking it anyways.

"Melanctha," he said to the room, taking a deep breath.

"Black flower," Annabeth said softly, racking her brain. She knew no one with that name. As she said this, a beautiful girl with midnight black hair and black eyes decended the stairs. She was pale, yet tan at the same time. Her skin seemed to shimmer in the light, glowing in the darkness. She stood next to Chiron, looking utterly confused and lost.

"This is Melanctha-"

"Call me Mel," she spoke up, looking at the four demi gods. Her voice was smooth, yet sharp, cutting through them. Percy didn't know why, but he knew this girl was powerful.

He stood up, walking towards her. "My name is Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon," he held his hand out to her.

She smiled softly at him and took his hand, shaking it. After a second, she let go and adressed the rest of the room.

"I am truely sorry for this inconvenience. But I...I need to know who I am," she said softly. "Chiron has told me about the gods, demi gods. Everything. Nothing seems familiar. I woke up in the woods next to a cave a few days ago. I wandered around for hours until I found this place. A nymph led me here, and I've been in the infirmary ever since."

"We'll help you get your memory back, Mel," he smiled over at her, a twinkle in his eye.
