Dang it! I miss Alexia so much! At least they remembered to feed me when she was still here. I just wish that whoever my family was, they would come and claim me!
-Winter Solstice-
"Nichole Stevenson! Drag your lazy butt out of bed and get down here! There's someone here who wants to see you!" I rolled out of bed.
"I wonder who it could be," I muttered to myself sarcastically. When I got down the stairs I came face to face with the last person I expected to see.
"Hello, Nichole. My name is Apollo. Your family would like to meet you at the Empire State Building."
"O-okay," I said nervously. WTF is going on? Why do they want to meet me now? Oh, God, this guys must be delusional.
As we got in to one of the elevators, Apollo pressed a button that looked like it had the Greek Letter Omega on it. The elevator shot straight up and I tried to keep my mouth shut.
"You're the first person not to scream when they went on the elevator for the first time." He helped me off the elevator. I was trying not to vomit.
"I just have one question. Where the hell am I?" I managed to get out.
"This is Olympus, Nichole," Apollo said. "You do know that you're not a full mortal, right?"
"No, but I do think that you may be a lunatic."
"Nikki?" a girl asked, shocked.
"Alexia, is that you?" I asked.
"Oh my gods, it is you! And you're a demigod too! So do you know who your parent is?"
"Huh? Alex, please tell me you're not crazy too."
"She'll find out in about 30 minutes, Alexia. Just because you're technically my sister doesn't mean that you have the right to do that!"
"Well, I can't help it if Zeus is my father!" (btw Alexia's already been claimed)
"Shut up!" I exclaimed as I glared at both of them.
"Nikki, your eyes are turning black," Alexia said. I was about to retort back when I heard the doors to the great hall opening, and 11 adults walked out.
"You're finally back, Apollo," the first one said. "This must be Nichole, am I right?"
"You are correct," I replied, hesitantly.
"What are you afraid of?" one woman asked. "Don't you remember me?"
"Not really."
"Who am I?" a man asked from the back.
"Brother, not now," Zeus said.
"You are Hades, god of the underworld." (Quick piece of info: the people aren't wearing nametags, I just studied Greek mythology a lot when I was a kid. It was my escape from the world.)
"Who am I?" a man clad in a Hawaiian tee asked.
"You are Poseidon, god of the seas, also known as the earth shaker."
"Brother, she knows everything about us. Is she really all of ours?" Poseidon whispered to Zeus.
"I don't know, brother," Zeus replied. "Nichole, tomorrow, you will go to Camp Half-Blood." I nodded, still thinking they were crazy and decided to go along with their game.
"If you see Percy, will you tell him his father said hi?" Poseidon asked.
"I will, Lord Poseidon," I replied.
"Alexia, will you show her where she can sleep for tonight?"
"Yes, Chiron." Alexia and I started to walk away, when Zeus called me back.
"Nichole, wait," He called after me. Artemis walked over to me.
"He wants you to come into the great hall with us, all of us, for a moment."
"I don't really have much of a choice do I?" I asked.
"Not really," Artemis said as she grabbed my arm and started to pull me towards the massive doors.
Alexia's POV:
I watched as Artemis pulled Nichole towards the double doors. Blaze walked up behind me.
"What are you staring at her for?" he asked. I jumped.
"Don't do that!" I exclaimed. "I was trying to figure out why her eyes went black earlier. They never turned that color at the orphanage."
"Don't think too hard about it. Chiron wants you to rejoin the others."
"Okay," I said as I turned and walked away from the big doors.
Nichole's POV:
I was sitting on the floor in the middle of the great hall as the gods around me were arguing over who would talk to me first. I was getting extremely annoyed.
"SHUT UP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as my eyes changed to pitch black. "Stop arguing! If you don't start to get along, I'm gonna leave!" The gods all stared at me, some in shock that a mortal would be comfortable with yelling at them, and some with anger that I would have the nerve to yell at them. Hades was the first to walk over to me.
"When do your eyes go black, child?" he asked as he examined me.
"Only when someone dies, or when I get extremely angry or frustrated," I replied.
"Interesting," he said as he sat back down.
"Nichole, you are unlike any other demi-god," Zeus said to me.
"How?"
"You are my daughter, Poseidon's granddaughter, Hades's great granddaughter, then Athena's, Hermes's, Hephaestus's, Ares's, Apollo's, Aphrodite's, Diyonus's, and then Demeter's too. You are descended from the line of Hercules. You're almost a full goddess."
"Do what?" I shrieked. "That's it. I'm out of here." I turned and walked out. "Goodbye, lunatics!"
"Nikki, what's wrong?" Alexia asked me as I walked up to the centaur named Chiron.
"How soon can I get to 'Camp Half-Blood' from here?"
"If you wait until morning, Argus can take you, "he said.
"I need to go now, while no one is there," I said.
"One of the pegasi will take you." Oh, joy! more crazy shit to deal with. The horse was brought out and I just stared in shock. "It won't bite you."
"Thank you, Chiron," I said as I mounted. I flew to the camp and dismounted. 'Thank you. Go back to the others.'
'You're welcome, mistress,' it replied. I walked to the beach and watched the sea as the waves broke on the shore. I heard a noise behind me and grabbed the dagger of celestial bronze that Artemis had given me when I first met her.
"Who's there?" I asked tensing. "Who's there?" I asked again. "Show yourself!"
"Help me!" a voice called. I heard some loud growling and ran into the forest. I saw a boy my age fighting a giant black dog. I charged at the huge black monster. I had to keep moving to not get bitten by its giant teeth. After a long struggle, I managed to kill it
by slicing it in two.
"Are you okay?" I asked him.
"Yes, just get me to the beach," the boy said. "Who are you?"
"My name is Nichole Hope Stevenson. And you are?" I asked as we sat down close to the water's edge.
"I'm Percy Jackson," he replied.
"You're Poseidon's son, aren't you?" I asked.
"Yeah, and thanks for saving me Nichole. How did you know how to kill that hellhound?"
"I was invited to be one of the Hunters of Artemis, but I declined. Artemis gave me two daggers of celestial bronze as a reward for saving them from Medusa." Everything bad that happened when I was little was finally beginning to make sense.
"When was this?" Percy asked.
"It was the day I turned ten. I was the only child at the orphanage, because everyone else was at the zoo. I was alone when I heard some noise in the back. I saw Medusa and grabbed the closest weapon, which happened to be one of Artemis's daggers, and then I cut off her head while she was fighting the other girls."
"Okay. Here's another question. How did you get here?"
"I came on a Pegasus. Why are you not at Olympus?"
"I missed the van."
"Oh," I said. I felt sorry for him.
"So, do you know who your god-parent is?" Percy asked.
"I don't know yet," I lied. There wasn't any way I could tell him the truth about my family. "I'll see you later, Percy. I'm gonna take a walk around the camp."
"Um, sure. See you later, Nichole."
As I walked away from Percy, I saw the van that had taken the half-bloods to the Empire State Building coming back. That's when I saw a monster chasing the van. I must be crazy because the monster was the half bull, half human Minotaur. The van must've been going at least 110, and arrows were being shot from the back of the van.
"Percy!" I screamed. "Grab Anaklusmos, and come on! We have some demigods to save!" We ran past the van and came up on the Minotaur. (Percy had told me about his sword)
"Man, I thought that this thing wasn't coming back for another few hundred years," Percy said.
"Toss me Riptide!" I exclaimed. As I caught it, the Minotaur charged at Percy. As I ran in one direction, he dodged and we both jumped on its back. It was missing one of its horns, which made it easier for me to aim. We were both thrown off and I threw one of my daggers. It hit its mark and the monster turned to dust. I was sore all over and had multiple wounds, but I think I was worse than Percy.
"Nikki!" Alexia exclaimed as the ground rushed to meet me.
