A/N: Hello you guys! Does anyone remember my fanfiction called Fire, ice and The Flying ace? Before that it was called angel child of the moon: Daina. Well if you do in chapter two Percy said something to Nicki about the hunters. Nicki said she hated them. This is the background story to why.

R&R: Flamer's are not tolerated. Tell me nicely or not at all.

Chapter one:

Sunbeams

Nicki store out the old dirty car window as the clouds washed like waves over the sun.

"Nicki, come on stop mopping. You know, I live just two blocks from the Empire State building. You can get free tours." Nicki's eyes moved from the now drizzly sky to her aunt's headrest. She sighed,

"Aunt Jamie, I like it here but… forget it you won't understand." Her aunt smiled,

"Of course I will. Oh, hold on a sec." Her cell phone buzzed and her aunt clicked her headset. Nicki paid no attention and gazed back to the sky which was now sunny but rain still fell like confetti. The car turned swiftly and a small pack that held the only things left of Nicki's entire existence plummeted onto her side.

"Nicki, there's an old friend of mine waiting at the house. He's excited to meet you." Nicki's shoulders drooped even more.

"I feel the same, Aunt Jamie I really do." She said sarcastically. After some more bumpy roads and twisting and turning a small apartment that was like her aunt had said two blocks from the Empire State Building appeared out the window. And on the front porch was a young man about twenty two. He had bright blond hair that because of the bad weather shone like gold but Nicki was sure it still shone like that every day. He had bright blue eyes with flecks of gold that seemed molded in. He looked rather tall and was very well muscled. He also had a prefect tan, not too tan but not too little just right.

"Ah," Her aunt smiled,

"That would be him." Nicki looked a bit skeptical, how did her aunt know someone like fifteen to eighteen years younger than her that is model material? Sure aunt liked going to Broadway when she could afford it like every six or seven years. But then again how does she know someone who could be on Broadway? Nicki gave up trying to understand why and just got her small pack then walked out of the small car.

"Hey Jamie! And you must be Nicki?" he said with a million dollar smile. Nicki arched an eyebrow,

"And you would be? A million dollar model my aunt picked up?" The guy laughed, Jamie scolded her,

"Nicki!" Nicki shrugged. The guy smiled again,

"I'm, uh… Nathan." He said pausing, Nicki had a feeling he was lying but if that's what Aunt Jamie knew him as so it will be.

"Inside come on, don't want to be freezing and get a cold." 'Nathan' nodded. Nicki followed them in and Nathan sat on the old green couch.

"So Nicki, I heard what happened to your family. I'm sorry." Nicki felt her heart wretched out, her aunt had told 'Nathan' about her family. Nicki's family had been in a car accident one day and her father died, then their house was broken into while her mom was at work the next week and she and her sister were at about the third school they had been transferred to that fall. When her mom got home early from work one day it was about four weeks after Nicki's father had died and as her mother walked into the nearly empty home she was mugged. She had died and left Nicki and her sister alone. Alison her sister had not felt well the next day and Nicki had to leave her home alone to go to school. Nicki had called her grandma over to have her take care of her sister, not knowing her grandma had died the week before. Pretty much any one remotely related to Nicki in the city or areas near the city had been killed with in the four weeks to five weeks after her father died. Alison had been poisoned, her grandma shot, her father in a car wreck, mother mugged, her uncle on her dad's side had committed suicide though they had been waiting for that because he had been planning it and no one could change his mind. Nicki had been left alone and the police had found her and called her aunt.

"Now look, all the schools here are filled up so we won't be able to get you in for another month. Your aunt and I talked, and I know a camp that you can stay at. This camp is normally a summer camp but some kids live there. I know you don't want to stay with your aunt. Your aunt said its okay if you want to stay there for a while until some of the schools open up." 'Nathan' said. Nicki took in what he had said. A summer camp that some kids lived at? It didn't sound too bad but Nicki started wonder about her aunt, she had just in the last two months lost half her family. What if she was left at that camp because something happened to her aunt?

"You'll be safe there. I promise you. It called Camp Half-blood. You'll love it. They have great food." Nicki pondered more,

"Um… okay I guess. I've been to camps before. Isn't camp half-blood a funky name for a camp though?" Nicki's aunt laughed,

"You'll understand the meaning once you get there." 'Nathan' nodded.

"Er… okay." 'Nathan' got up and smiled his charming smile.

"I'm gonna go, I live a few blocks down near the-"

"Empire State Building." Nicki and her aunt said at the same time.

"Now be gone unless you want supper its soup salad and ravioli with spinach." 'Nathan' raised his hands,

"Nah, I'm fine. Nicole will make something fine tonight I'm sure." He left leaving Nicki wondering about 'Nicole'

"Aunt Jamie who's Nicole his wife?" as her aunt pulled the ravioli out from the oven she said,

"Nah his sister. Their twins. You might meet her some time I don't know. About the camp though…" Nicki cocked her head to the side,

"Yah?" Her aunt sighed,

"The reason your family died so fast and in just weeks was because of monsters. They are coming for you." Nicki rolled her eyes,

"Okay, Aunt Jamie I'm not amused. Remember I'm not six. Monsters aren't real." Her aunt shook her finger,

"Oh no, the Greek ones are alright." With an eyebrow ached and her hands on the chair ready to get up ask which room is hers and get the freak out of the kitchen .Nicki asked,

"You mean the minotaur and Medusa? And all the other's like Griffins and all the other books of stuff I read like last year?" her aunt nodded,

"Yup. Nicki. Camp Half-blood is for Demi-gods. Child of gods. Like all those kids of Zeus from mortals?" Nicki nodded still unsure of everything.

"Well, Chiron the one who trained Hercules and Achilles and the heroes? He is the runner of the camp along with Dionysus." Nicki looked at the still steaming food,

"The god of wine and parties? Oh Aunt Jamie can you serve the food still warm?" she grabbed the food and stet it on the table and sat across from Nicki.

"Yes him. He was punished there for chasing a wood nymph but they kinda rule it. There are cabins for children of all gods. I think they are making ones for more minor ones still but all twelve of them are there even one for Artemis." Nicki was digging in when she asked,

"Why one for Artemis? She's never going to have a kid why make one?" Her aunt shrugged,

"Let's talk more tomorrow after dinner shower then bed." Nicki smiled,

"Okay." They finished eating and Nicki got ready for bed. Her room was a small one and it was painted blue. There was a painted sun on the ceiling and gold curtains.

"Your mother loved this room. When she stayed here we painted this for her." Nicki smiled,

"I love it. Night aunt Jamie." The lights flicked off and Nicki looked at the window by her bed. It was a full moon that night. She kept thinking of camp.

How can the gods be real? They are myth, the Greek's don't even believe in them anymore. Who was Nathan. Was he a god? No. what will it be like. Will there be nymphs? Will everyone hate me? Will I even go? Aunt Jamie can't be telling the truth. Which monster killed my family then? Why make cabins for Artemis and Athena they will never have kids. It's a waste of space. Whose kid am I? Was my father my real father? Was my mom my real mother? Who am I?

A/N: Chapter 2 coming soon. Please review nicely or not at all. Pretty much the rule:

IF you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all.

Also I realized PJO is the MOST flamed fanfiction on this site. If you want to change that follow the rule above and hopefully it will. The title of most flamed isn't a good one.

Also does anyone know who Nathan was? And if so his description may be off because I don't have the book I got it from a friend to read it and that's how I thought of him, I'm too lazy to Google it. I tried not to Mary-sue Nicki there is a reason for her family being killed though. It's NOT a random thing. AND NO her parent isn't Artemis. Don't go thinking that please. It isn't she was just wondering why Arty had a cabin because she will never have a kid. Just wondering. Full moon just something I threw in. So hope you enjoyed I'm going to start chapter 2 soon.
