I feel the need to write this little A/N- I just wanted to say the basic disclaimer. I do not own Percy Jackson that honor goes to Rick Riordan. I would also like to say that the original idea for this story and the actual writing of this story was done by me, but I have to give a lot of credit to J.M. Weezy, one of my real life best friends, for helping me. She is the reason I even began writing this story, she encouraged me and told me I was a good writer so here it goes. J.M. Weezy helped me with putting my thoughts to words. I love that girl and she has a lot of great ideas in that head of hers so you should really check out some of her writing.
Another A/N~ Hey guys! If you're reading this, thank you so much for giving me a chance. I am warning you though I have some issues w/ my POV tenses, so if you notice a change please forgive me. I try not to do it but sometimes I write in present tense when I give character thoughts when the rest of the story is in past tense. Please tell me through reviews if you think I should continue this story, it is up to you guys! Also, I am one of those writers that would love CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I ask that you please don't criticize rudely. If you don't like it just say that and you don't have to read anymore, but don't start being rude and mean. Thank you.
10 years w/ a horrible step-mother, 3 years of a crappy job, and 8 years of knowing the only thing that takes her away from her terrible life. It's a place of creatures, gods, goddesses, and dangerous quests. The world of a 12 year old boy named Percy. Percy Jackson.
19 year old Diana just wants to get away. She always just sits against the tall oak tree at the far side of Fones Cliff, where nobody ever shows up and she can be alone, reading about the world created by Rick Riordan; his writing draws her farther and farther into the story as the words begin to float off the page forming into images that play through her mind like a movie. Soon, she is completely engulfed within it.
Diana's POV:
A/N: To see how I imagine Diana search for a picture of Britt Robertson
"Linda! I'm going out for a couple of hours!" I yelled to my foster mother as I stepped across the threshold of my apartment door and my long curly locks of blonde hair began blowing in the wind.
"You're always going out! I don't care anymore. Do whatever the heck you want!" Linda yelled back. I then slammed the door shut mumbling under my breath about how much I hate this family. I closed my sea blue eyes in an attempt to calm down. When I opened them again they were gray, of course I didn't it then because I couldn't see them but still, they were.
I walked to my car and pulled out the keys and started it. To get to the cliff I had to drive to the outskirts of town, and then go down two annoyingly twisty roads before getting to where I could park. When I got out of my car, I grabbed my bag and started to walk down a worn dirt path to the cliff.
I was soon leaning up against a tree reading "The Titan's Curse" for about the 20th time. About an hour later, my ears picked up the sound of footsteps coming down the path. My initial reaction was to fight as I had been taught. I then heard more footsteps, meaning there was a whole group of people coming. As soon as the first person walked into the cleared area I grabbed his wrist and flipped him. He hit the ground with a loud THUD, and when I took a look at his face I saw familiar brown hair and blue-green eyes and realized who it was. It was Logan Lerman.
Just then, more people came with a van shortly behind. The driver saw Logan on the ground and for some reason decided to drive right towards me. He hit me in the side, launching me a few feet making me feel a flying sensation, but not causing any serious injuries only bruising. As I lay on the ground, I see Logan get up and begin walking towards me; I suddenly became self-conscious and wondered how I looked, and made a bet with myself that I most likely looked horrible. I mean, I just got hit by a van! Soon, he was helping me up off the ground.
"Thanks! I'm sorry I flipped you like a pancake, I thought you were some sort of thug." I said with an apologetic smile.
"It's ok. Are you alright though?" he asked me, smiling when he saw me blush. Dang why do I keep doing stuff like that?
"I should be asking you that. You hit the ground pretty hard." I replied with a joking smirk. I was trying so hard to keep my cool.
"You should really work on your social skills. You're never going to make friends by injuring them." He teased; when he saw my facial expression he must have decided it was fun to tease me.
When I realized he was teasing me I tried to think of something clever to say back, "Oh I'm sorry I am completely anti-social and don't know how to make friends." I said making sure the sarcasm was obvious in my tone.
Just then, Alexandra came up behind us, "Ehem…. Sorry to interrupt your flirting session". "Oh crap! I forgot you guys were around!" Logan exclaimed red flushing over his cheeks. I could tell he was embarrassed and had to try my best to hold in a smile. He was so cute like that… wait what am I saying, do I like Logan? No I can't. He's famous I have no chance. But seriously he is so cute right now. Gosh, shut up Diana!
As I took a step back they continued, Alexandra then replied, "Yeah because you were too busy trying to get her number."
"Whatever, what do you need?" Logan asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "You're needed on set." She replied.
"Wait your taping Titan's Curse here?" I said, not meaning to, but ending up butting into their conversation.
"Well duh, why else would we be in this crappy little town? How do you stand it here anyway?" Alexandra asked.
"I have to because of my foster family. Trust me I can't wait to get out of here."
"Come on guys! We need to get started." A new male voice yelled. "Sorry, got to go that's the director." Logan said quickly before running off after Alexandra.
I decided it would probably be best for me to leave. I began gathering my stuff, which consisted of a notebook, my IPhone, and my book, and started the ascent up the hill to my car. I hadn't even made it 10 feet up the path before hearing that same male voice, "Ok we are going to shoot the scene where Luke falls off the cliff, we are going to start where Alexandra says… Wait what is her line? I need a script!"
All of a sudden I felt angry because I was worried that idiot would ruin this like some other things in the first two movies. I felt my blood boiling as the heat began to rise to my face, and before I thought any farther, my feet were already carrying me over to the director, who sat reading the script.
"Excuse me," I said through clenched teeth as I tried to control my anger, "are you the director?"
"Yes, who are you?" he asked calmly, which for some reason only fueled my anger. It was like every word from that man's mouth made it worse.
"Diana." I answered as the edge on my voice increased in amount.
"Ok Diana, whatcha need?" he replied seemingly clueless to the emotion hidden within my tone.
"How in the world can you be so calm right now?" I said clenching and unclenching my fists at my sides.
"What do you-" he began before I cut him off as my last shred of control was torn away and replaced with annoyance. Annoyance at this man's stupidity, what does he think I'm talking about?
"What do you think I mean? Are you stupid? I'm talking about how you are going to ruin this movie!" I yelled loud enough to grasp everyone's attention, including Logan's, but I was too furious to worry about it then.
He tried to reply, but I began again before he got the first word out. "How did you get this job anyway? You don't even know the script! Please tell me you at least read the books."
"Well no bu-."
"No! A good director would have read the dang books. Just in the first movie you made at least 15 mistakes!" I continued. I could tell he was scared by the way he went quiet.
"Ok miss, you need to calm down and leave so we can film this movie." The director said as if nothing I had said mattered anymore. Ha that idiot. I am not sure how yet, but I will make sure he doesn't ruin this movie.
"You just don't want to hear me prove that you don't deserve to be in control of how this movie is made! Fine. Since you won't listen to everything I have to say read this. I have kept a record since the first movie came out." I said reaching into my back pocket and pulling out a folded up piece of notebook paper. I handed it to him then began walking away triumphantly. I was soon up the hill and starting my car to leave when I saw someone walking up the hill, when I realized it was Logan I rolled down my window so he could hand me a paper and with that he was heading back down to set. That was weird I thought to myself then began driving away.
Director's POV:
Gosh this girl is crazy! She just screamed right it my face about me ruining the first two movies. She seems like a really big fan of the books, and she's really feisty. She for some reason she reminds me of someone…. Anyway since she gave me this I might as well read it, I thought unfolding the crisp paper seeing it was covered with a handwritten list:

Dang! This girl is like some sort of super fan! She would make a really good consultant though.
Logan's POV:
Gosh I like that girl! She seems really cool, and she just yelled at the director like he was nothing. Wait, did I just say I liked Diana? Anyway, she seems really fun, and I really want hang out with her, that's why I gave her that paper with my number on it, I really hope she texts me. Wow! I sound desperate. I hate that I have to stay here and shoot this movie. Maybe I can get her a job on set, and then I'd get to see her in between takes. Gosh, she is so cute. Whoa! Snap out of it Logan. Soon I heard the director yell, "Get set we start filming in five!"
