Hey lnb1221 here! This is my first story so please no flames, only advice please! Also, please note this is set before The Lost Hero and I do not own the Percy Jackson series and never will no matter how much I would like to! Enjoy!

Nerissa's point of view*

"Crap" I thought as I looked up and saw that it was still following me. "It" had been following me and leaving a wave of destruction behind it all day, and just when I thought I lost it, it came back. I pulled out my meager pocket knife and attempted to take a jab at it but then this freak with no weapon mind you came running in..

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" he screamed at the top of his lungs while waving a pen around.

"Huh" I said looking around and losing my concentration. In the second that my concentration faltered the monster tackled me to ground and was ready to slit my throat.

"One false move Jackson and I kill her." the monster growled.

"You wouldn't dare!" he yelled back.

"Try me." it replied.

"Let her go and I will do whatever you say, just don't hurt her" the kid whose name I now knew to be Jackson replied.

"Fine, Fine, you got me, you found my weakness, I will let her go, as long as you keep your promise." the creature replied.

"You keep your promise, I keep mine," Jackson replied turning to me and saying, "Go out side there is a car with a boy named Nico in it waiting for you."

"Who me?" I replied lamely.

"Yes you" he replied angrily.

Slowly the monster let me up and cautiously I got up and walked to the door. "Good luck….Jackson."

"You can call me Percy…if we ever meet again" he said.

"Ok I will, and don't think if, think when"

"Ok I will, see-ya"

"Bye….and good luck" I replied regretfully as I walked out.

* Nico's point of view *

So I am outside waiting for this so called "powerful" half-blood. Then this chic walks out of the building. She was sweaty and covered with cuts and bruises, but she looked beautiful. I couldn't help but hope she was the one I was waiting for.

"Hey are you Nico?" she said looking at me as I rolled down the window.

"Yes I am, who are you and who sent you?" I replied testily.

"I'm Nerissa, and Jackson….I mean uh Percy sent me" she replied looking annoyed.

"You pass, now get in the car," I said, "you look tired."

"Thanks" she said opening the door and plopping down on the seat.

"So um….. Goodnight…I guess." I said lamely.

"Yes, goodnight." she said generically.

Within minutes she was a sleep and I was left with nothing to do but to watch her sleep. After ten minutes of doing that I heard a scream and looked up to Percy running out of the building as it exploded. He jumped in the car, looked at me in the passenger seat and simply said, "Drive". I looked at him and even though I only had my permit, I didn't question him I just floored it, it also helped that a giant winged creature was chasing us.

Hope you liked it! I will update sometime next week (if time allows) also any advice or ideas you have I am open to just review! If you don't know how to review you need some help!- lnb1221
