**AN - Hi. My name's Gabi. I write a few different fan fictions, and wanted to post them on here and see how people like them. If you all do, letting me know would be great. I'm going to be posting from five different stories: Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Jackson Rathbone, Jasper Hale, and xOC. If positive comments come in, I'll continue the stories. If you don't like them, please let me know because I will certaintly remove them if people don't want to read them. Thank you for taking the time to read this. =]

""I shall have a new lieutenant," she announced."If she will accept it."

"No," I murmured.

"Thalia," Artemis said. "Daughter of Zeus. Will you join the Hunt?"

Stunned silence filled the room. I stared at Thalia, unable to believe what I was hearing.

Annabeth smiled. She squeezed Thalia's hand and let it go, as if she'd been expecting this all along.

"I will," Thalia said firmly.

Zeus rose, his eyes full of concern. "My daughter, consider well—"

"Father," she said. "I will not turn sixteen tomorrow. I will never turn sixteen. I won't let this prophecy be mine. I stand with my sister Artemis. Kronos will never tempt me again."

She knelt before the goddess and began the words I remembered from Bianca's oath, what seemed like so long ago. "I pledge myself to the goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the company of men…"

Afterward, Thalia did something that surprised me almost as much as the pledge. She came over to me, smiled, and in front of the whole assembly, she gave me a big hug."

"Percy." Thalia whispered in my ear as she held on to me. "I need you to do me a favor. Something that I saw coming, but now cannot fulfill. I need you to go to Arizona. You will know where to go once you get there."

"But, Thalia, what?" I tried to reason, but she simple released me and smiled.

The whole night, even through the party, Thalia's words echoed in my mind. Why was I supposed to go to Arizona? And what did she mean she saw it coming? I couldn't wrap my head around it. Even when Annabeth and I arrived back at camp, I couldn't make sense of her words. Chiron pulled me aside after the meeting we had.

"Percy, what's wrong? You seem distracted, child." Chiron's ever wise voice did nothing for my nerves which were standing on edge.

I sighed. "Chiron, Thalia told me to go to Arizona and do a favor for her. But I have no idea what she meant and she didn't even tell me anything specific."

Chiron nodded thoughtfully. "I see. Well, I suppose this should be a quest. It's time to see the Oracle."

My guts were in knots as I walked up the steps of the Big House again. This was really getting old. I entered the room with the Oracle. "What is my destiny?"

The green smoke left her mouth and surrounded me, and I made a face as she spoke.

"The time has come

To find the lost one

A daughter to be found

A daughter once bound

One will go and return

One to be filled with concern."

I left the Big House. Chiron, Grover and Annabeth were all waiting for me. I smiled at Annabeth, who gave me a half smile back. I really wanted to know what was going on with us, but now wasn't the time to say anything.

"The Oracle told me to go alone and find the 'lost one'." I informed them. "She said something about a daughter bound and found."

Chiron's face twisted thoughtfully as Grover bleated nervously.

"Chiron, he can't go alone!" Annabeth protested.

"Hush, child. The Oracle has decided." Chiron said as he looked up at me. "You leave tomorrow with your Pegasus, Blackjack. Try and be back in time for Christmas so you can go home." He nodded and walked away.

"Percy, I agree with Annabeth." Grover spoke with his mouth full of Coke can.

"Dude, chew and swallow. I have to do this on my own." I walked away from them, walking back to my cabin to crash for the night.

I woke early to leave for the quest before anyone else was awake. I packed a back with two changes of clothes, nectar and ambrosia, and some sugar cubes for Blackjack. I woke him up and left as quietly as I could.

Blackjack flew smoothly as I slept, thankfully he was being quiet. We landed in Arizona, and for some reason, I knew exactly were to go. I left Blackjack with some sugar cubes and ran in the direction my gut was dragging me.

I found a wrecked house. My gut was telling me to come to a wrecked house. I sighed, frustrated as I walked over wreckage.

"Hello?" I called out, wondering what in Hades Thalia could possibly want me to do here. I heard a little gasp, and I ran as quickly s I could, trying not to twist my ankle on rubble.

"Hello?" I voice again. There was a noise beside me, and I turned to find a girl looking about my age standing beside me with a board of wood. I could tell she was trying to lift it and she had tears pouring down her face.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." I dropped my bag and jumped around the board to her, pulling her hands off of the board and locking them in mine. "It's okay."

"Please don't hurt me." I heard her whimper. I looked her over once in shock, to find her covered in bruises and cuts. She was so skinny; I could see obviously why it was hard for her to lift the board.

"Hey." I said gently. "It's okay. I'm here to help. Thalia told me to come here."

Her eyes shot up to meet mine at that, and I guessed I had said something right. "Thalia told you to come?"

"Yeah. She told me to come here. What's your name?"

"I'm Evangaline. Thalia's five years older than me and my sister."

My eyes widened. "It's okay. I'm going to take you back to a safe place, okay?"

"Okay." She whispered before passing out. I picked her up, whistled for Blackjack and picked up my bag.

Blackjack landed in front of me. *Whoa, boss. Who's that?*

"She's a friend of mine, Thalia's younger sister." I said while climbing onto his back. "Get us back to camp as quickly as you can, please."

*You got it!* With that, we shot off. Camp was before my eyes in a flash, and we landed with everyone surrounding us and calling out to me. I only locked eyes with Chiron. He approached and took Evangaline from me.

"Who's this?" He questioned.

"Evangaline. Thalia's sister." I informed him, sliding off Blackjack.

Chiron sighed. "This is not good. Thank you, Percy. Now, why don't you head home?"

I wanted to do nothing more.
