A/N: I really liked the harry potter books, and since she is goddess of magic I researched Hecate, and she is actually one of the most powerful gods. She was honored/feared by all the gods/titans she is older than the Olympians and possibly older than most titans and is sometimes considered one of the primordial gods. And when the Olympians took over she knew they would win, so she sided with them. After they won Zeus was afraid to try and take her power because she was too powerful, so they let her stay, and he asked her before granting mortals requests. and Zeus gave Hecate portions of the earth, sea, and air/heavens/Underworld. So basically she controlled everything in a way. It says she was prayed to when going on sea voyages, before battles, and for protection from pretty much anything. And she was supposed to have control over ghosts/spirits maybe even equal to Hades power. But she is mainly known as the goddess of magic and night, and she seems to have three personalities, because sometimes she has three heads or three bodies, and she acts differently most of the time she is written about. So judging by the way she acts I'm guessing these are three personalities; the classic dark sorceress. The kind hearted sorceress. And the seductive sorceress. So my point is, Hecate is really powerful and interesting. So her children would be super fun to write about and that's what I'm gonna do :D oh and I chose Alice as the name for main character cuz it sounds like my name; Alison :P btw this takes place around the same time as HoO

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters/places in the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series, or the Heroes of Olympus series. They are property of RR I just like to play with the characters/places :P :D

Alice Masen thought today would be just like any other day in the life of an almost fourteen year old girl, go to school and get told by disappointed teachers how she had so much potential, and could accomplish so much if only she would apply herself better. After that, she would go home to her single dad who would most likely be drunk, as usual. Then eat, do her homework and go to bed, then repeat the process the next day. She never stayed in one area long enough to meet any real friends, her dad was always moving because of his job, and Alice was resigned to that lifestyle.

But when she met the goat-boy she knew her world was going to come crashing down. Alice was sitting down for lunch when a teenage boy in baggy jeans, a blue t-shirt and a black cap with curly blond hair poking out, sat across from her at the table she usually sat at, He looked like he was around fifteen. She was sitting alone because she was fairly new to this school, and hadn't really made any friends here. "Um, do I know you?" Alice asked, confused about why a stranger would sit by her. "No, just act natural, we're being watched." The boy replied casually, as if he were discussing the quality of the food.

He nodded in the direction of the school janitor, who was standing just inside the lunch room by the main entrance. He looked like he was in his late twenties, he was lean and fairly good looking, and was wearing a blue janitor's suit, his shoulder length black hair pulled back in a pony tail, and he was looking straight at them, his eyes were a strange gray color.

For a brief second Alice could've sworn his eyes turned red and his skin turned a black-blue color, but when she looked again it was back to its regular pale color, and his eyes back to gray. Disregarding the janitors skin and eyes changing color for a trick of light the dark haired girl said, "What are you talking about? That's just the janitor." The teen in front of her shook his head, then said in a low voice. "I can't tell you anything yet, but this is very important, you're in danger and this could save your life. Wait here a minute then follow me to the gym, I'll explain there."

With that the boy stood and chuckled lightly for no apparent reason, then said "Okay, see you later." Then turned and walked out of the lunch room. The janitor watched him leave with suspicious eyes, then with a final look at Alice walked out of the room pushing his janitor's cart. Alice was confused, she got a bad feeling from that janitor, and something hadn't seemed right about the teen who told her to meet him in the gym either.

Alice was fairly used to weird stuff, she'd seen some strange people and things, like stuff out of fantasy movies. But she'd always attributed it to her active imagination and ADHD. Plus a couple of years back, a school counselor had said she was prone to hallucinations after she'd claimed her 6th grade math teacher had goat legs and hooves.

She'd been forced to go to therapy for it, and pretended to stop seeing things to get out of it, but the truth was she still saw some pretty weird stuff. Alice finished her lunch then stood and headed into the hall leading to the gym, she was curious to see what the strange boy was talking about, somehow she knew he was telling the truth when he said she was in danger. Alice reached the gym and walked through the open doors, there were two entrances to it and the room was fairly large. As soon as she got a few feet past the door someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her behind one of the doors, a hand clamped over her mouth to stop her scream.

"Shhh, It's me from the cafeteria, I'm not gonna hurt you. Just be quiet." The hand left Alice's mouth, and the hand gripping her arm turned her around to face the boy from earlier. "What's going on?" Alice demanded, with an angry frown on her pretty face. "Shhh not so loud, the Eurynomos is looking for us." The boy said, "Eury-what?" Alice asked, confused. "Eurynomos, it's a demon from the Underworld, basically it will kill you and then eat your flesh till your just pile of bones, that's what the janitor is." The other teen explained, he kept casting worried glances behind Alice.

"Underworld. Demon. What the hell are talking about?" Alice asked, thinking the blond boy in front of her was insane. The said boy just smirked at the look on her face. "You know the myth's about Greek gods, well they aren't myth's they're true. And that 'janitor' is really an evil demon who wants to kill you." Alice got the weird feeling that the boy was telling her the truth. "Who are you, and why would anyone want to kill me?" Alice asked becoming concerned. "My name is James. and as for who you are, well you know how in the myths the gods would go down and 'date' mortals, the children born from those cases are called Demigods. And you're one of them."

Once again Alice somehow knew the boy was telling the truth, she was about to say something. when suddenly the janitor burst through the doors on the far side of the room, but now he looked different, he had long black claws, was taller, and had the same black-blue skin and glowing red eyes Alice had briefly seen earlier. James moved in front of Alice, then pulled a big club-stick out of nowhere, the janitor-demon looked at him and a horrible growl emanated from it. "Stay back, and if I start losing you run." James told her, then he charged the Eurynomos.

A/N: I'll write the next chapter soon, depending on how many people like this.
