I'm Melody. I'm 8 and I have the power to do things other's like me can't. But through all the trouble I found something better than powers, something I never had a home, a family. But Camp half-blood is my home. I just need to get a family. My dad is a very famous scientist. He has a California tan , dark brown eyes, straight jet black hair and small ears. In my opinion, I don't even look like him. I have light caramel skin, hazel brown eyes, small ears and dark

chocolate brown wavy hair with light brown highlights. I'm lean, and have an average height for my age. But my dad is really buff. Even though we don't look alike I know we're family. It actually bothers him alot when people say stuff like 'that's your daughter she looks nothing like you', he doesn't say anything but I can tell by the way he looks at them afterwards, he doesn't like it. My dad had just finished his prototype time travel machine. My dad's name is Jake Jackson. His last name is Jackson but mine is Starr. He said that I could choose my last name. I don't know why, most parents give their children their last name. I chose Starr because I want to be a famous actress when I grow up.

I was walking down our big hallway when I stumbled upon my dad's laboratory. What did he tell me again, something about never going in there. Oh well. I took a test tube & turned on the time machine. I was thinking 'how could I get in trouble, daddy never told me not to go in the machine, oh wait, he did, ehh, plus how can she get mad at a face as cute as this'. Honestly I didn't know how to use this thing but I saw a button labeled 'NYC', so I guessed it meant New York. It's the year 2005 Then I went in. I was in some part of New York I didn't know. I had never been to New York before so this was going to be hard. I went to a small apartment complex around the block. I went to where I thought Percy's apartment.

"Hello, can I help you", Percy's mom asked.

"Yes please, I'm lost, confused, & scared. I was walking with my mommy then I stopped to look at an ice cream truck. And when I turned around she was gone. I tried to follow a woman I thought was my mommy. But I ended up here walking around looking for her. It's been I think 2 hours. So I went to this apartment", I said innocently.

Ok, ok I know what your thinking. What the heck am I doing? Well honestly I don't know what I'm doing but I do look good doing it.

Well let's say this is my little project. Plus it's not like I'm telling a lie. I'm simply acting.

"Oh dear please come in", Sally said.

"Thank you", I said sweetly. That's when Gabe came. I sniffed the air when he pasted by. He smelled like...trash can?

"Sally, who is this!", Gabe said rudely.

"You know what, I don't care JUST GET ME A BEER!", Gabe shouted. Then left.

"I'm sorry about that dear what's your name? Do you know your mother's or your father's phone number", she asked."My name is Melody Starr & I don't know my dad's number. I don't have a mom", I told her.

"Oh that's terrible. Ok Melody go to that room for a minute please", sally said pointing to Percy's room. I went in calmly then quickly searched though Percy's things to find a brush or something with hair on it. Finally I got a brush & took the hair. I took the hair of it and quickly put the brush back. I heard someone coming the quickly sat down on Percy's bed. Percy came in put his backpack down. He was going to walk out the room then turned back around. I stared blankly.

"Hello", I said waving.

"Hello", Percy said slowly. He turned back to call to his mom through the door.

"Mom, their's someone in my room", he turned around to see I was gone.

Percy's POV

"Percy where did she go", my mom asked.

"A little girl came by saying she was lost & came here for help, then I sent her to your room while I try to find her parents", my mom said concerned.

Melody's POV

I had just come back to Florida with the time machine. Thank god no one knew I was gone. I took the hair sample and put it in a converter it turns hair samples to blood samples. I put the hair in & press the separate Percy's DNA with the half blood DNA. Then I press convert button. The I put the blood in a needle like thing & I gave myself a shot. I hate needles but I feel better when I give them to myself. It was already 8:30 my dad should be on his way home. I took a shower, got into my pj's brushed my what used to be brown, turning raven black hair, and gave my dad a goodnight hug. Then went to bed. The next morning I took a book from my book & I couldn't read it, at first I was startled but then I remembered my brain is now wired for greek. Everything was going the way I planed it. I went across the hall to my dad's room.

"Hi daddy", I said in an innocent & sweet voice.

"Hi sweet heart did you sleep well", he asked looking suspicious.

"Yes", I said slowly not wanting to get into trouble.

"While I was gone did anyone touch my prototype time machine", he asked curiously.

"No", I said darting my eyes to the left.

"Well ok then", he turned around and started to walk away. Then unexpectedly quickly turned and started to tickle me. I laughed like crazy.

"Stop...stop. Ok I'll talk...stop tickling me". He finally stopped tickling me and I told him everything that happened. To my surprise he wasn't mad at all, actually, he said that it could help a lot of little project. He said, that there are some people in the world who killed others. And that they didn't even know the people at the killed and felt no remorse whatsoever. But they knew that they were killing people. ObviousIy I was a little upset, people dying is sad. To me that seems unhuman.

"I know it's upsetting, but that's why I need your help, so we can save these innocent people who are being killed for no reason", he said softly.

"What can I do? If you don't I'm only eight, a genius, but still eight".

My dad held up pictures of 12 strangers. "We have to destroy them. They are all over the world at the same 've killed thousands of people all over the earth", He said sadly but with anger as well.

"Is that how mom died?".

"Yeah", he said sadly. I knew not to bring it up again, cause it would only get him more upset. After some discussion, my dad decided after I had to some training, that at 15 I would go to Camp Half-blood.

6 months later...I got a bow & arrow for my birthday and I trained every single day for 4 hours a day I practice the bow and arrow, etc.

"Here honey take your meds", he said handing me my gummy meds and some Apple juice.

"But I don't want to".

"Melody, you know you have to improved your memory", I put the gummy bear shaped pills in my mouth, and washed it down with some apple juice. I've been taking medication since I was 5. I have problems paying attention and tend to lose this a lot. 7 years later, when I was 15 I went to Camp Half-blood.
