I do not own PJO or HP.

Chapter One

Challenging. That pretty much sums up my life. Hi. My name is Jocelyn . I will not give you much info about what you are about to read. I don't like spoilers. My cousin once, she totally told me something about the last book in this series and the book before that… that made me REALLY ANGRY. But never mind that. Just read.

So, there I was, alone. 10 years old. I know, kind of irresponsible, but I didn't run away. I was 10! Not much older than that now, but anyway… I ran away. My father had died 9 years before. When I was baby, my mother found me. My father was dead. She took me somewhere. I don't remember. Then when I was 6 I woke up in a forest. Owls followed me. Then I made friends with them. They became my companions, my pets. I was out there for years. Then monsters found me. I started to run. Then Winter came. My owls changed shape. They became deer. Silver deer. Hmm. That was strange. But I hopped onto one. It ran through the snow with the other deer following. The snow melted where it put down its hoof. That finally, then Spring came, then it was Summer .The deer changed back to owls.

That's when I saw it. I wandered through Manhattan. Sick right? I walked right through it. No one noticed me. I finally found myself walking on a country side. I was walking when my owls nudged me.

"What?" I asked. My owls nudged me again. And again. And again and again until they were pushing me up a hill.

"Stop it! What are you doing!?" I told them. They didn't listen. They were pushing me toward this pine tree with a bunch of cables wrapped around the trunk, and a golden towel on the lowest branch. Then we got closer.

"Holy mother of"- One owl clamped her wing on my mouth. The cables were the body of a dragon. The towel was golden sheep fleece. The dragon woke up from a nap. He growled at me. He snapped at me once. I screamed. A few kids came running. They whispered to one another. They beckoned for me to come forward. I walked forward and saw these cabins. Each one different. I saw an archery range, an arena of some sort, a forest, a climbing wall spewing lava, and a big baby blue house. Two girls stepped forward. One of them had brown mahogany hair with eyes that shifted color, she was beautiful. The other one had blonde hair and startling grey eyes. They had also come with two boys. The girls smiled at each other.

The blonde one said, " She is a god spawn."

"But can't you feel something…" The brown haired one said.

One of the boys stepped forward. He had blonde hair , lightning blue eyes and glasses. "What's wrong?"

"We'll talk about it later." The blonde one said. The brown haired one nodded.

The other boy stepped forward. He had dark messy hair and sea green eyes. "So, what's your name?" He asked.

I didn't know these people that well, but I decided I should get to know them. " My name is Jocelyn." I said.

The brown haired one smiled and stretched out her hand. "Pleasure to meet you, Jocelyn. I'm Piper."

I shook her hand.

The blonde one put out her hand and grinned. "I'm Annabeth. Nice to meet you,Jocelyn."

The blonde boy with glasses smiled and put up his hand for a high five. I hit his hand with more power than I thought. He laughed. "Ow! I am Jason, It's a pleasure to meet you." I smiled back.

The boy with black hair and green eyes stepped forward. I knew who he was though.

He stretched out his hand. I shook it. I didn't exactly let go right away.

"Hi. I'm Percy. Nice to meet you." I almost screamed. Percy Jackson said hi to me! I mean, I know about all four of them, but wow. Then I looked at them and blurted out "Can I have your guys' autograph?" I scolded myself for being so stupid. Annabeth laughed. They all did. I could feel my cheeks turning red. Piper smiled at me.

"We aren't celebrities."

"But there is two book series on you guys! And two with Percy and Annabeth in them! Thalia too! And Grover. And Rachel. Reyna is in both too!" I said.

They all said, "WHAT?" Except for Percy who already knew that. It was kind of funny.

"There is a-a book series on our fight with Gaea?" Jason choked on those words. I nodded.

"I don't... how many people have read it?" Piper asked.

I said , "You don't want to know."

"What do you mean?" Piper asked.

"Well, I know that you don't want to be famous or become a celebrity, you think about others before yourself, you don't want to be noticed everywhere you go." I said. Piper stifled a scream.

"Kid's pretty smart." Annabeth grinned.

"How do you know that?" Piper asked nervously.

"I know a bunch of stuff about all of you. Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, you ran away from home at 7 years old, at the moment you are dating Percy, hates spiders, and never wants to travel through Tartarus again. Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, your sister is Thalia Grace who is now a Hunter of Artemis , you lost your memory a while ago, near-sighted, was stabbed a while ago by Michael Varus. Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, defeated Kronos, got a nose -bleed that woke Gaea, it happens, it's alright- is currently dating Annabeth, traveled through Tartarus with Annabeth, apparently you have the best mom ever, you lost your memory a while ago too. Piper McLean , daughter of Aphrodite, your father is Tristan McLean, famous actor, you have charmspeak- you guys get my point?" I said. They looked at me like I was crazy… except Annabeth and Percy.

"whoa." Percy sighed.

Annabeth smiled. "I think that's kind of cool."

"Well then, how old are you?" Percy asked.

"Ten." I said simply.

"Ok." Piper looked like she was still trying to get over the fact that I know all of her personal info.

Jason stepped in, giving Piper time to calm down. "Well, Annabeth, you should give her the tour, with Percy perhaps, and I'll take Piper…away for a bit." He said, glancing at Piper.

"OK, we'll do that." Percy said quickly. "Let's go."

Annabeth and Percy guided me all around Camp Half Blood. IT WAS SO COOL. I wondered who my parent was. It would be so cool to be a child of Poseidon, but my dad died. So, my godly parent was a goddess. I just hoped it would be like Athena, or Demeter, or, like, Nike, or someone really cool, and stuff, you know? I just wondered if I was a child of Aphrodite. Charmspeak would be really awesome, I just don't want to end up like DREW, other than that worry, Aphrodite would be fine by me, as long as I don't end up like her .

Back to my tour. They finally led me to the armory. This was going to be so cool. Percy handed me a bow. It felt weird in my hand. He put it back. Annabeth handed me a dagger. Its hilt was oddly shaped. She put it back. Percy handed me a spear. I nearly dropped it, it was so heavy. Then he seemed to remember I couldn't use a full spear. I was only TEN. He put it back. Annabeth handed me a sword. It was Celestial Bronze. Cool. But it was too heavy. Percy handed me a different dagger. One side was Celestial Bronze, the other side was silver. It fit in my hand perfectly. They gave me one of those belt things. I sheathed my new dagger. Soon, it was time for dinner. I sat with the Hermes Cabin. I made friends with a Hermes kid named Rosalie Shack-fighter. She had long, beautiful, curly brown hair down to her waist. She had freckles on her nose and cheeks. Then they walked over to the camp-fire and slid part of their food into the fire. I did the same. Then we sat at the camp fire, they sang pretty silly songs at Camp. One about how Grandma puts on her armor or something? Then I couldn't help but join in. Then the song stopped suddenly. Everyone looked at me. Annabeth jumped up, beaming.

"Yes!" She yelled.

I didn't understand why she was saying this. Then her whole cabin cheered. Annabeth walked over to me and put her arm around me.

She said, "Welcome to the Cabin of Athena!"
