The Lost Heroine (Other-wise known as the AU where Reyna and Annabeth get switched)
A.N: Yep, this has been done before.
Other stories that use this idea include, a series of Leyna drawings and drables by King Buru, The Lost Heroine, by prplemyth here on fanfic (it's a Piper/Reyna pairing, fangirling!), and The Lost Heroine by larry's podex, also here on fanfic. These are only the stories that I know of, and I thought that they deserved credit for coming out with the idea before I dide. Go read them as well, they're good.
This is the longest thing I have ever written. I'm already about twelve chapters in, most of them about this length, and I plan on finishing the Lost Heroine portion of this AU before New Year. A new chapter will be posted every day until then, unless I get behind.
Disclaimer: Don't own.
Main Pairing: Leyna
Side Pairings: Percabeth, Frazel, past!Jeyna possible Jasper starting in Mark of Athena
Reyna's POV
School buses, troubled kids and amnesia
Reyna woke up on a bus beside a girl she didn't know, who was talking to a boy in the seat behind them. Reyna's black eyes started to wander, because really, this was quite startling. Why was she here? Who were these people? She started to think through possible reasons she might have ended up on this bus.
"Am I on a school trip?" she considered. She couldn't remember if she even went to school. When she tried to bring other things to memory, she just couldn't. She didn't remember anything except her name. She looked down, and saw that she was wearing a tattered purple t-shirt.
The girl turned her head to face Reyna and smiled, "Rey, you you're awake. You didn't miss anything; there was nothing interesting. No scenery, no fights, no rabid animals, nothing."
"Who are you," Reyna asked, her eyes widening.
"What are you talking about?" asked the girl, her face contorting into a confused look.
"Who are you?" she reiterated.
"Rey, are you telling a joke?" she asked in a shocked tone, though she seemed more shocked by the possibility her friend was telling a joke than the possibility that she'd lost her memories.
"Piper," said the boy, "You know Reyna doesn't have a sense of humor."
"Honestly," Reyna replied, slightly irritated, "I don't have any idea who you people are."
"Come on, Cupcakes!" blared a voice over what sounded like a loudspeaker. After that comment, it said "The cow says moo."
"Good one," Piper said, looking at the boy.
"I try," he said, as the three got up and exited the bus.

"So you really don't remember us?" asked Piper, a look of concern in her eyes. Reyna couldn't decide what color they were, they seemed to switch from green to blue to brown.
"I don't remember who I am," she asserted.
"Alright," remarked Leo, "Leo Valdez is here to give you a crash course in your life. Basically, we go to "Wilderness School" which is a school for "troubled kids". They make us run laps out in the desert sun, knit hats out of flowers, build character, and send us on educational field trips hoping that one day, we "troubled kids" can be reintegrated into society."
"We go to a boarding school and it sucks," Piper translated.
"You, Piper and I are best friends," he said, "And we do crazy shit together and you do everything I say and think I'm super-hot…"
"LEO!" Piper snapped.
"Sorry, that last part's a lie," he said, his face turning scarlet, "but we are friends."
"Are you sure I know you," she questioned.
"Of course," he said, rolling his chocolate eyes.
"Maybe we should tell someone," Piper suggested, "You might have hit your head."
"Oh yes," said Leo, "And have Coach Hedge take a baseball bat to her head to "cure her". Wonderful idea, Piper."
A boy with black hair and gleaming white teeth slinked over to them.
"Come on Piper," he said, wrapping his arm around her, "You don't have to hang out with these losers, you're my partner."
"These losers are my friends, Dylan," she snapped, getting herself out of his grip, "I detest you."
"You know you don't, babe," he smirked.
"Save me," she mouthed as he dragged her away.
"Should we help her?" Reyna asked.
"Nah," Leo replied, "She's Piper. She can take care of herself."
Reyna looked up at the sky. She really didn't like how dark and stormy the sky was, or the rumbling of thunder in the distance.
"Rey," said Leo, "Really, are you sure you're ok. You look even more serious than usual. And you look worried as well."
"I am worried," she said, "Those clouds look ominous, and if you haven't forgotten, I'm on a class trip for a school that I don't attend with lots of people that I don't know. Gods, and I'm the one who's lost her memories."
"You really think that?" he asked, "You think that you just randomly appeared and that we all have fake memories of you?"
"Kind of," she admitted.
"I guess that could be true," he said, "It would be pretty hard to forget me."
"You are kind of memorable," she agreed, with a slight tone of sarcasm, "But really. What do you know about me?"
"I know that we're friends," he said, "And that you're really serious and we watch violent movies together."
"But really," she said, "What's my last name? Where was I from before this? How did I get here?"
"I don't remember," he said, "Rey, I'm ADHD. I know you've told me, but I can't bring it to mind."
Reyna gave an exasperated sigh; this boy was getting on her last nerve. The clouds were growing more and more frightening, almost to the point that they were more frightening than her lack of memories.
Almost.
A.N: So, did you enjoy it?
