Just a bit about this story. It is set after the SoN, and during the MoA. It's a new twist. I thought about how Katie Gardener wasn't the TLH, and thought. what happens if she went missing during the Second Titan War? And she turned up at Camp Jupiter. And Percy recognised her after he got his memory back. What would happen when the Argo II turned up? Would Katie and Travis be reunited? IT IS AU

Anywho (hehe cool word - Anywho...) Onwards with this absolutely AMAZING story (If i do say so myself!)

THIS IS A DISCLAIMER FOR THE WHOLE STORY (because i'm too lazy to do any more) I DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS OR HEROES OF OLYMPUS. IF I DID I WOULDN'T BE WRITING THIS!

What Happened To Katie?
By Fran Evans-Potter

Prologue

A pair of sea-green eyes sparkled in recognition of a young, though not-that-younger-than-him girl. Green-grass eyes looked back at him in confusion.

"Katie? Katie Gardner?"

She smirked slightly. "Its about time you remembered someone else apart from Annabeth."

The black-haired boy, Percy, stumbled in his toga, and looked back at Katie. "But, what? You went missing after the Titan war in Manhattan. Travis, your cabin. They couldn't find you!"

Katie smiled sadly, her dirt brown hair falling out of its pony-tail as she shook her head sadly. "I can't tell you now Percy. I have to tell everybody. All of Camp Half-Blood. All of Camp Jupiter. At the same time. The Roman's think I'm a Roman. They ignore the fact that I don't a word of Latin."

"Well, didn't you hear?"

"Hear what?"

"That all of Camp Half-Blood are coming on the Hephaestus cabin's boat. The Argo II."

"Hades! Really, it'll be great to see everybody again. And to use the Greek names freely! It's a dream!"

"I can imagine." Percy said. "Look. Is that the Argo II?" He pointed to a shape that was hovering in the fields of Mars.

"You better hurry up praetor, wouldn't want to miss the arrival of the Greeks!" Katie said.

"Your right! I'll see you later Katie." Percy called as he started to push through the crowd of Romans in front of him, to get to the front."

"Bye Percy!" Katie called over the crowd. A hand shot up in acknowledgement.

Katie shook her head as she continued through the crowd, all desperate to see the Argo II and the Greeks.

She took a small leaf charm off a necklace with 8 handmade beads on that she kept hidden. She touched the leaf and smiled, as the memories it brought flooded into her mind. She swung the leaf round, tiny as it was, like you would swing a sword. A smooth but rough leather grip appeared in her hand. The hilt came into view next. intricate leaf and vine designs patterns engraved into the metal. Then finally a 3 foot long blade. She smiled at the blade, the celestial bronze glinting in the sun.

She drew out another sword from a sheath at her hip, this one made of imperial gold. She shook her head as she threw the gold sword on to the ground beneath her. She then placed the celestial bronze one in the sheath. It was nice to have a balanced weapon again.

Katie put on her helmet, which she had taken off due to the heat of the Californian sun. Her eyes looking determindly at the Argo II, through the helmet, which covered most of her face. She started to make her way through the crowd to the front. Byt the time she made it to the front, she saw the whole of the Argo II, from the bronze dragon head at the front and the steering wheel at the bow. The ship was floating a few metres off the ground.

A ramp was from the Argo II'sdeck to the grass floor of the earth. A group of campers in orange t-shirts and Greek armour were at the bottom. Katie recognised a few, Annabeth Chase, Clarisse La Rue, Pollux from Dionysus, Miranda, from her own cabin, Travis and Connor Stoll from Hermes. And a few other campers that she could vaugley remember being in the Hermes cabin. They were three others, ones she didn't recognise.

Snapping Katie out of her thoughts, a voice sounded, Reyna the other praetor, "Our praetor, Percy Jackson, Frank Zhang, and Hazel Levesque vouch for these ... intruders to be allowed a peaceful stay at our noble camp. Does anybody else wish to support these... graecus?"

Shutting her eyes, Katie thought. She should speak out? Vouch for those who were her friends, family?

"I do."

Katie's voice rang out through the wize silent field. Both parties, Greek and Romans turned to face her.

"Step Froward." Reyna commanded. "Name?"

"Katie. Katie Payner."

"Payner?" She heard Travis whispered. She smiled to herself. Payner was a name she used at camp, Gardner sounded to cliche, her mother being Demeter and all. But she was called Katie Gardner to everybody except a few who knew about her dislike for her name. She looked to Travis' eyes. He knew.

"Why do you vouch for these graecus?"

Taking a deep breath, Katie removed her helmet and look down at the ground, refus9ing to meet anybody's eyes.

"Speak!" Reyna's harsh voice cut through the silence.

"Είμαι Έλληνας, βλάκα! Είμαι κόρη της Δήμητρας, θεάς της συγκομιδής" (I am a Greek, imbecile. I am a daugther of Demeter, goddess of the Harvest.) Katie looked up to meet the eyes of her old camp-mates.

"what?" Reyna replied, confused. "What is the meaning of this Payner?"

Katie tore her eyes away from her camp-mates to meet Reyna's. "My name is Katie Gardner. I am a daughter of Demeter, goddess of the Harvest. A Greek."

Gasps rippled across the field, for very different reasons. Katie stepped forward to the Greeks, her friends, her family.

"Hey."

Before the others could reply, reyna strode forward, Octavian on her heels. Reyna roughly grabbed Katie's arm and held a dagger to her throat.

"Katie!" The Greeks called out.

"Not one toe out of line Greeks." Reyna snarled. "Or this one gets it."

Katie, quickly reached for her sword. Her hand wrapped around the hilt and leather girp, and she drew it. In the process she knocked the dagger away from her throat. The celestial bronze flinted dangerously in the cun. "You romans may have defeated a single titan and a few giants with hundreds of soldiers. But us Greeks defeated morew than you can imagine with 40 people. Way more than you can imagine."

Katie spun on her hell and walked towards her friends.

"Katie? What? How?" Miranda spluttered.

"Later Miranda, I want to see Annabeth and Percy's reunion." She replied and added on as an afterthought. "Its a long story. A very long story."
