Sorry about the long time it took to write, but high school deserves quit a load of attention!

Best of luck,

Lord Momus

'' Nichole please wake up '' said Mrs. Brandon to her still sleeping Step-daughter '' it's time for school wake up '' then she impatiently left the room altogether.

'' Great god she left, she was starting to give me a headache '' mumbled Nichole Brandon before she picked herself off of the bed and towards the bathroom.

After finishing her morning chores, Nichole put on a bright orange and green tank-top and green tights which fit her beautifully. She brushed her incredibly long bright-red hair before fixing a green clip at the left side.

Nichole sighed at her reflection, her mesmerizing blue eyes stared back with the same expression. Nichole Brandon knew she was beautiful, everyone had told her so.

They even added she was more beautiful than her step-mother, Melissa Brandon whose chestnut-brown hair took everyone's breath away, and her lovely set of hazel eyes were just perfect.

But even with all that beauty Melissa still envied her step-daughter, Nichole. Nichole sighed again before going downstairs to where she knew Melissa and Nicole's father Steve (Mr. Brandon) would be waiting.

Nichole reached the kitchen door but before she opened it a knock came at the door, Nicole sighed before making her way towards the door; she opened it revealing her best friend, Rob.

'' what are you doing here Rob? '' Nichole asked in a demanding tone which made Rob jump in surprise.

'' I'm here to walk with you to school Nick '' answered Rob in a somewhat hurried tone.

'' alright then, wait till I finish breakfast then we can go '' answered Nichole in a calmer voice then before.

'' I will be waiting then '' answered Rob before he started walking towards the bench seated in Nichole's garden.

Nichole closed the door and made her way inside the kitchen; her dad looked up at her and smiled kindly before offering her a seat next to his.

Nichole took the seat all the while hoping Melissa didn't have a trick up her sleeve, Nichole placed the syrup on her fresh pancakes and started chewing.

'' Who was at the door Nichole? '' asked Melissa while she ate her own plate of pancakes with syrup.

'' Oh it was just Rob '' answered Nichole all the while eating her plate of fresh made pancakes and syrup.

'' Honey would you min passing me the butter? '' asked Mr. Brandon to his only daughter.

'' Why of course I wouldn't mind, here you go '' answered Nichole while she handed her father the butter.

After breakfast Nichole placed her school bag on her shoulder before giving her dad a kiss on the cheek, and then she headed out the door and towards Rob who was waiting for her.

When she had caught up to Rob they started walking together towards school, Nichole was only twelve years old but Rob was much older even though he went to seventh grade with her.

When she had asked him he had said that he dropped from class many times, so he needed to repeat them again which was why he was even in seventh grade in the first place.

Rob had ginger hair covering most of his head , and a pair of warm and kind brown eyes, Rob also had a small goatee at the base of his chin which he didn't like to admit was there.

Nichole and Rob walked to school everyday, Nichole had met Rob when she was eleven years old and in grade six, where Rob had failed before.

With her help and his hard work he finally made it into grade seven , where he wasn't bad either (with her help of course), Nichole planned on getting Rob to high school with her and she was making the most of it.

They finally reached the school playground where some grade eighties were already using the children's playground as a '' dropping '' off point where they would throw six, seven or even eight graders to get hurt.

'' I hope we don't get thrown '' whisperd Rob in Nichole's ear, Nichole just laughs and makes her way toward the eighth graders who were on the verge of throwing a brown-haired six grader towards the children playground.

Nichole stared at their leader in the eye, he had longish black hair and a nasty set of gruesome looking brown eyes that were nothing like Rob's.

'' what do you want bitch? '' asked the leader in a sharp voice making it clear that he can throw her with the six grader.

'' No need to call me bitch you filthy bastrad, I only came here to let you leave that six grader alone that's all '' said Nichole in an angry voice.

'' Boohoo I'm scared '' said one of the gang who had a blond Mohawk which looked terrible.

'' if I say no what will you do to me bitch? Huh? '' asked the leader in a threatening voice.

'' I would tell the teacher about what you do and then just wish that your limbs turn youth less and that you always feel like carrying squirrels '' said Nichole in an amused voice before leaving and taking Rob with her.

'' Such a bitch '' said the leader before he suddenly felt weaker, he called for a break before he rushed to the boy's bathroom, he undid his pants and gazed in wonder and fear at what he saw.

His legs were that of a ninety or eighty year-old, but what was worse was that it was spreading everywhere and soon his face was older than his grandfathers' could ever be.

He screamed in horror before running down the hall screaming curses, all teachers saw an eighth grader running with his pants pulled down to his knees and his boxers showing screaming curses and running down the hall.

They all did the natural thing, which was catching him and putting him in the office where he was set there to wait for the principle.

All the while Nichole saw the sixth grader that she had tried helping running towards her; he thanked her and said his name was Michele Rain before running off.

'' he was flirting with you Nichole, didn't you notice? '' asked Rob in wonder all the while he was hitting woodchips that way and that.

'' I know, he was trying to flirt but it was a failure '' answered Nichole while she was hitting woodchips with her new running shoes which she had bought with her father just last week.

Suddenly the bell rang and everyone had to get inside for classes, Nichole and Rob were in the same classes except for one, Gym which Nichole just hated.

The Gym teacher was Ms. Allan and she was just creepy, her hair was black and her eyes green, but these were not human eyes but snake eyes or that was what Nichole thought anyway.

At the first break right before Gym, Nichole and Rob were sitting down with their trays filled with food, Nichole had pasta and pure tomato sauce while Rob had Greek salad.

Nichole gazed at the Greek salad and then asked '' Rob does that taste good? It's from school after all '' but Rob only nodded and said '' it taste great Nick try some! '' then he offered her a spoon.

Nichole took the spoon and found that Rob was right after all, she took her tray and placed one of the containers reading Greek Salad before retreating back to the table she was sharing with Rob.

'' so you got some after all huh? '' asked Rob with his mouth full of Greek salad.

'' Why yes after I learned that the school makes good Greek salad '' answered Nichole while opening her container reading Greek Salad and eating the contents eagerly.

When the break finished Rob said that Nichole should try having fun at Gym, even if it meant sharing it with Ms. Allan who Rob couldn't stand either.

Nichole made her way to Gym class and saw everyone ready to play Bench Master, that game is childish though thought Nichole angrily as she sat down in the now formed circle.

Ms. Allan spoke in a snaky tone '' Well, who would like to be bench master? '' a lot of people raised their hands because if were going to play a childish game might as well be one of the masters.

Nichole raised her hand and instantly Ms. Allan picked her, she was yawning actually not raising her hand but why the hell would she tell the teacher that?

Nichole made her way towards one of the benches and stood on it waiting, the other bench master was a scrawny sixth grader who could catch balls pretty good.

Nichole caught every single ball thrown to her , she felt beautiful youth soured her, it feel lovely to be young thought Nichole as she caught an unexpected ball and that was it her team had won.

After the game Ms. Allan called her over for a secret meeting, Nichole reached her office and found it more like a cave, there was a little Chewelah sitting on one of the chairs beside Ms. Allan.

'' Please sit '' said Ms. Allan in her snaky accent, Nichole obeyed a little shakily which wasn't good; this place is too much like a cave thought Nichole helplessly.

'' I like you Nichole, I really do. Which is why I shall show you my true form, please do not scream because I'm quit wounded now '' said Ms. Allan in a pleading snaky accent.

Nichole nodded and suddenly Ms. Allan's skirt ripped to show a sneaky tail covered in green blood, Ms. Allan's hair turned dark green and her snake eyes became brighter while her skin transformed into snake-skin.

Nichole's eyes were as wide as saucers which just go puffed up, Ms. Allan collapsed onto the floor in a blooded heap right at Nichole's feet, now the smart thing to do was run out the room but Nichole felt brave.

So she bent low and gazed at Ms. Allan, Ms. Allan wasn't ugly oh no she was quit a lovely young green women and her hair was quit nice, her eyes looked snaky and kind of scary but the problem was her tail.

Nichole bent low on the wound , it was made earlier in the day so maybe before Ms. Allan came to school, Nichole looked at the odd mark and found that it looked like a sword had cut it.

That's quit impossible thought Nichole, who could get their hands on a sword anyway? Nichole then stood up and rummaged through the drawers for a first aid set.

She filled a couple of glasses with water before setting them down, she cleaned the wound with the water and when it was clean she placed her hands on a hug needle and some strong thread.

This is going to be hard thought Nichole as she sewed the open cut with pure youthful care, when that was done Nichole gazed at her work the cut was not bleeding and it was all closed up with neat strong tight stitches.

The hard part was pulling Ms. Allan onto a couch, Nichole fed Ms. Allan Greek Salad and some pasta with pure tomato sauce, and finally Ms. Allan sat up and pulled her into a hug.

'' Thank you for you for what you have done, I shall ever be so grateful '' said Ms. Allan as she pulled Nichole into her cold snaky arms, then she placed Nichole onto her right side.

'' I know this will sound weird but I'm not human, I'm a Dracaena and we are creatures of evil , but while we were fighting demi-gods one of them wounded my tail, so I had to get out of the battle field '' said Ms. Allan.

'' so that's why you have snaky eyes and green hair? '' Nichole asked Ms. Allan who smiled at her before she continued '' yes it is, I decided to act normal so I went to work today but I still couldn't ignore the pain for long ''

'' That's where you come in my dear, I would've never done it without you '' said Ms. Allan sweetly, before she added rather sadly '' and that's why I'm sending you to Camp-half blood ''

'' What is Camp-half blood? '' asked Nichole but Ms. Allan only nodded sadly, then suddenly the door burst open and in ran Rob carrying a sword, he gazed at Ms. Allan and looked in horror at Nichole.

'' do you know what that is? '' He asked fearfully, Nichole nodded before she said '' yah and I know that pointing sharp objects at people is rude ''

Rob placed his sword to the side before he said '' Nichole she is evil and has no feelings '' Nichole looked at him before she said '' yes she does, everything in this world has feelings ''

Ms. Allan had just sat there looking sadly at Nichole, in her heart Ms. Allan thought Nichole would've made a great Dracaena queen but she couldn't tell her that until she had trained in Camp-half blood.

'' she told me that I should go to Camp-half blood, do you know what that is? '' asked Nichole while she gazed at Rob, Rob nodded and said '' it's a place where people like you are truly safe ''

'' people like me? What's that supposed to mean? '' asked Nichole angrily, but Rob only shook his head '' people with powers like you and skills like you, you'll see ''

Then Rob motioned for her to come over before he said '' I have a car which is packed with weapons and supplies, the problem is that getting there unnoticed is kind of hard ''

'' no it is not, come after me I know a secret place out of the building '' said Ms. Allan confidently before she slithered towards her desk and took her bag which was green with her before she opened a secret door in the drawer.

'' Cool '' said Rob as he nervously climbed in the last after Nichole, Ms. Allan led them through a secret tunnel before she finally opened a door revealing the parkway.

She led them towards a hug black car and said '' this is a magical car Nichole and I want you to have it, it's a gift '' then she handed the car keys to Nichole who took them eagerly.

'' alright let me get the supplies and weapons out of my car '' said Rob as he raced off , Ms. Allan then said '' I will go with you to the front of Camp-half blood and there I shall leave, when your out of Camp-half blood I shall go with you to protect you, I'm ever devoted ''

Nichole hugged her and told her to get in the back which she did, Rob came back with odd bags and weird shaped weapons, and then he placed them in the backseat with Ms. Allan before climbing in the front with Nichole.

Rob drove them for a long period until they reached Manhattan, then he drove them deeper and deeper with the magical car, he drove them until they reached the lone island.

'' That was a fast magical car, thanks Ms. Allan '' said Rob as he took the supplies out and pulled them onto the grassy plains of lone island, Ms. Allan said goodbye before she drove the car away as fast as she could.

'' now what do we do? '' asked Nichole while she survived the place, it was quit a nice scenery but didn't they come to look for a Camp?

'' Yes, yes up that hill, you go first and I'll follow soon after '' said Rob in an excited tone.

'' Alright then '' said Nichole as she trudged forward on her own, she reached the top of the hill where she something odd, there was a whole Camp down there!

She trudged on feeling curios about why this Camp was any different then any normal Camp that was when she herds the shriek and the worse part was the shriek sounded like Rob's.

She turned around and saw Rob with no pants on running for life from a huge Minotaur? Yes that was a Minotaur, and yes Rob's legs were hairy and looked like goat legs but that was not the fact.

Nichole ran over to Rob who threw her a lip-gloss? Yes at this time of need Rob threw her lip-gloss, she sighed frustrated and opened the lip-gloss which surprisingly turned into a sharp orange glowing sword.

She swung it and found it really light, she slashed the air until she was sure of what she was about to do, of course Nichole had practiced sword fighting and it was not a hard task.

The hard part was fighting that Minotaur who was moving quit slowly at the moment; she also knew some acrobat moves so she could probably wound the animal but kill it? Oh please.

She helped Rob towards the Camp and then turned to face the beast, its nostrils flared and its eyes turned red in the light, and then it charged.

Nichole's father watched many bull-fighting and lots of Mexican shows where the bull would charge and someone will rid it or place the red cloth in front of it.

So when the Minotaur charged it was no surprise when it found her unharmed and sweating, suddenly she felt so youthful that she could fly so she just jumped and did a back flip and suddenly found herself sitting on the Minotaur's head.

The beast was trying to pull her off but she was quick, so It ran towards a nearby tree to try getting her off, Nichole got the message so when it was about to touch the tree she jumped off and landed on her feet feeling youthful again.

The Minotaur was stuck! She had done it, that's when it hit her that she should probably kill it before it gets free, so she stood up feeling instant youth hit her like wildfire.

She went close to the Minotaur and stabbed it in the head right between the horns, the Minotaur turned into ash and she found in its place was a black horn; she took it in her hand and instantly felt weak.

She limped over to where Rob was laying on his back, he smiled when he saw her limping towards him, she gazed at him and said '' so … this was what I need perfection from right? '' then she backed out.

When Nichole woke up she saw a man with a brown beard and hair, he looked worried as he spoke to two teenagers, the boy had black hair and sea-green eyes while the girl had blond hair and gray eyes.

The man was talking about her with two odd teenagers , Nichole sighed and everyone's eyes were on her in a minute, the boy grinned at her while the girl gave her a smile.

'' You did great, awesome fighting '' said the sea-green eyed boy '' my name is Percy Jackson Son of Poseidon by the way and this is Annabeth Chase Daughter of Athena and were demi-gods from Camp-half blood ''

The man smiled and said '' you were such a great fighter, my name is Chiron and I'm the Camp's counselor and your teacher, welcome to Camp-Half Blood ''

Nichole smiled and said '' where is Rob? And did I really kill a Minotaur? Why did it turn to ash? '' Then she looked at the tow teenagers before she said '' and how are you guy's demi-gods? ''

Chiron smiled before he said '' Rob is fine, yes you did kill the Minotaur and when any monster dies it turns into ash, and they are demi-gods because one of their parents is a god ''

'' do you mean that the Greek gods are real? And that everything I ever knew about Greek mythology is real? '' asked Nichole while the two teenagers were giving her approving glances.

'' yes! How clever, you are brighter than I thought Nichole Brandon '' said Chiron as he wheeled himself over to her bed, she sat up and said '' well that great! Now the world is a more interesting place '' that made everyone crack up and soon everybody was laughing.

Nichole took the tour pretty well, she was to stay in the Hermes cabin until her godly parent was identified, and she placed her belongings on of the bunkers before sitting and watching the Hermes kids.

When it was dinner time everyone sat in their respectable tables according to their godly parent, Nichole squeezed between two Hermes kids she now knew as Travis and Conner.

Suddenly everyone stood up and walked over to the fire before throwing the juiciest piece of food, Nichole knew they had to sacrifice something to their parent so she threw a yummy cupcake whispering to whoever her godly parent was.

When they were back at the table Travis suddenly pointed to her head and said '' do any of you know what god has that mark? '' everyone stared at her head and gawked at it, she looked up to see swirling bright green mist form a naked youthful women kneeling with a jar and pouring it into a stream.

Chiron gave her a wink before strolling over on his white legs, part of the tour knew that Chiron was a Centaur and that Rob was a Satyr which was half-goat and half-human.

Chiron stood next to her and announced in a serious tone '' Nichole is a daughter of Hebe the Goddess of everlasting Youth, beauty and Cupbearer to the gods ''

After dinner Nichole was led to a separate cabin which was the Hebe cabin, the cabin was spring green with orange letters; Nichole liked the colors for they were her favorite ones.

She sat on the bed rewinding recent events, so her mother was Hebe the Goddess of youth? Then no wonder she came out beautiful and no wonder her step-mother was always so envious of her.

Whenever she had asked her father who her mother was, he would always say she was a most wonderful, beautiful and magnificent women who had a kind heart.

Her mother had disappeared when she was one-year old which left a couple of memories, like the way her mother's red hair felt and the way her touch always felt gentle and youthful.

Hopefully my mother would visit me thought Nichole happily, she had ever been anxious for her mother to give her a girl talk; she really wanted to see her wonderful mother who was a Cup-bearer to the gods.

Nichole had taken her school bag with her which now had her black minotaur horn as a trophy , it also had her green colored lap-top, she pulled the lap-top out and put it on then she searched up Hebe the Greek Goddess and this what she found :

Her mother was married to Hercules.

Her mother was a daughter of Zeus and Hera (on some accounts only Hera and a cabbage)

Her mother used to be the Cup-bearer until Gyamedes took her place, but she still kept the title.

Her mother was the goddess of everlasting youth, beauty and was the guardian of any Cup-bearers.

Her mother's symbol was indeed a naked youthful, beautiful young women kneeling with a jug and pouring it into a stream.

Her mother was very beautiful.

'' my mother sounds awesome '' whispered Nichole to herself as she shut the lap-top for the night, that was until she herd the quit foot steps of someone.

'' Nichole I'm Hebe the Goddess of youth and you're long lost mother '' said the women now known as Hebe and Nichole's mother.

Nichole ran to her arms and started crying from mirth, sadness and longing, her mother hugged her tight and whispered kind words in her ear until she fell asleep right in Hebe's arms.

Hebe would've stayed and slept with her daughter but she knew the rules, no interacting too closely to mortals or demi-gods, so she left Nichole with two bags, a little purse and a handwritten note full of instructions.

When Nichole woke up she found her mother gone, she sighed before he noticed the two bags, the little purse and the handwritten note from her mother.

So she does care after all thought Nichole happily as she reached for one of the bags, in one of the bags was a bunch of dresses which Nichole placed to the side before checking the other bag.

Inside this one were outfits and clothing, Nichole opened the pure and found it full of makeup kites and beauty products, when she looked closer she saw they were weapons.

She picked the handwritten note and this is what it read:

Dear Nichole,

I cannot stay with you for long because of the rules, gods cannot interact with their children, demi-gods or mortals for too long so I had to leave you. However I can speak with you through the little glass mirror in the little purse, all the beauty products are weapons, supplies, or helpful gadgets. The bag with the dresses is for special occasions like a party or a wedding, the other bag is clothes that I recommend for your body type. If you do not believe me then try the green Portrait that shows your shoulders not the one that covers them, also try it with those short orange shorts that only reach half of your thigh. The shoes are at the very bottom, please trying wearing the green sneakers with the straps they will help you move so quickly and youthfully. Last but not least try placing your hair beauty-queen style with my magical orange clip , so even if you get thrown off a cliff or fall in the water your hair style will never change my little beauty-queen . I shall tell you what to do for I know that your good with sword fighting and acrobats so your good for a rogue, I want you to know that when your angry, sad, happy, excited etc… you affect how much youthful energy people get. For example if your angry at Percy he might suddenly turn into an old man while Annabeth will suddenly feel youth less , so please be careful sweetheart .

Love you,

Hebe

Her mother was truly amazing, awesome and remarkable, Nichole happily pulled on the green Portrait and orange shorts, and then she placed the green sneakers on and did her hair beauty-queen style using the magical orange clip that her mother had given her.

When she was done she stared into the mirror, Nichole saw a beautiful girl who looked ageless, she saw a lovely young lady who took her very own breath away, and she saw a true daughter of Hebe.

Nichole decided to listen to her mother's advice, so she practiced with the long rouge daggers which were as sharp as steal, she did well but needed more practice to truly master such an art.

Percy came over to her with a younger teen, the teen had dark olive-skin and silky black hair, his eyes were black and he looked quit miserable at the moment.

'' This is Nico Di Angelo and he is a son of Hades, How are you getting along with everything Nichole? '' asked Percy in an amused tone while he saw me slashing in the air with my two rogue daggers.

'' I'm getting along just fine Percy '' said Nichole in a bemused tone while she slashed in the air again and again; quit forgetting how to stop her from doing so.

'' I will leave you to practice than Nichole '' said Percy while he eyed her quick dives and flips, she is quit something Percy thought as he walked back to the Poseidon cabin.

When Nichole stopped for a break Nico came over and said '' your great with those rouge daggers, do you mind practicing with me? I promise I'll go easy on you '' he added rather innocently.

'' sure Nico, by the way my name is Nichole and I'm a daughter of Hebe Goddess of youth '' Nichole said to him, he nodded before saying '' that's cool, do you get a discount for more youthful years? '' I laughed and soon we were both cracking up.

When it was dinner time Nichole sacrificed a piece of her cake to Hebe, she took her place at the Hebe table where there was a lot more space to sit then at the Hermes table where it always crowded.

After dinner Nichole returned to her cabin to sleep, she pulled the silky green sheets up her body and closed her eyes, this was only the next day at Camp-Half Blood but Nichole already loved it here.
