Hello everybody! It's Storm229 here again with another collab with Owl 'n Trident . This time, we'll be featuring the PJO and HoO characters as well as our two OCs AS WELL AS... I Am Katie Daughter of Demeter's own OC! Her character was from an old SYOC that I had created, which sort of got out of hand with too many OCs so I had to delete it Sorry guys!

Anyway, I do hope this story will be enjoyed by all readers and PLEASE PLEASE R&R! It would really be helpful! Who knows, maybe I'll need OCs exclusively from some eager reviewers soon ;)

Katiyana's POV

First day of the school year. Uneventful, as per usual.

Students bustled around afterschool, chatting about their exciting summer holidays, where they went, what they bought etc. People avoided my ice-blue gaze as they all skirted around me, muttering low "Hi"s beneath their breath. Well, no surprise there.

Me? I told Chris to meet me just after school ended.

As I approached the school gates, he raised his eyebrows and studied me with his light chocolate eyes. He hadn't changed at all. Clean, organized honey-blond hair that has always been too neat for my liking. Sun-bronzed skin that radiated healthily. A few stares from girls directed his way as "the group" of cheerleaders strutted by. Nothing out of place.

Christopher Jay Hughson. The only mortal friend that Katiyana Yukitora had. Isn't that just optimistic.

Anyway, we walked in silence for some distance. Sometimes we enjoyed this; we both found noise chaotic and distracting. We would always give each other time to think. Typical.

It wasn't until we turned around a corner when Chris said softly, "The new book is quite good."

I stared at him in shock. To be frank, I was quite disappointed with the plot of Mark of Athena, and the annoying Mary-Sue Piper.

"Good? Are you kidding me?"

I started ranting in an out-of-character fashion about how stupid Piper had been. Nothing but a douche.

Yet Chris begged to differ, saying that she was a good character. Though I already knew what happened during and after the Giant War, I was forced to enlighten him with a little argument.

Needless to say, we engaged in a heated debate straight away, as we entered my cottage-like home.

"Piper's all gorgeous and pretty without trying to, what a total Mary-Sue!" I exclaimed.

"No. She's been through a rough patch. She can't help it," he retorted, voice rising in a very un-Chris way, storming his way up the stairs two steps at a time.

"You mean, can't help being all perfect and goody-goody and jealous of Reyna? Geez, she's known Jason for two months and she's like 'You Belong With Me' (AN I do not own this song, Taylor Swift does). At least Reyna had four years of history with him! But nooooo, Rick just can't let Jason and Reyna even talk face-to-face..." Scrunching up my eyebrows, I blew a strand of wavy dark brown hair in front of my face as I plopped down on my soft, white bed.

"Jason said he never felt anything for Reyna." Chris stated curtly, lips pressed to a thin straight line in disagreement. "Jason fell for Piper. Vice Versa."

"Trust me, I know the characters better than you think, and Piper's just... Ughhhh." I made a face at the thought of the pretty brunette.

"You're just jealous," he said nonchalantly, turning away from me in disgust.

"Huh? What do you mean?" My fingers clenched themselves into two fists as I gave his back a challenging stare. Guess it doesn't really work with your opponent's face turned away from you.

"You're just jealous that you're not as pretty as her, as clever as her, as powerful as her. Admit it, you're not as good as her! " Chris stood up, his body poised in a threatening stance, his brown eyes blazing with outrage. That was probably the longest sentence he had spoken the entire day.

"I actually can say that Piper does not appeal to me, as a character and as a person! And for the record, I am not jealous!" How dare he!

"You don't have the authority to say that. You just hate the fact that there's someone who's better than you, fictional or not!" A knowing smirk placed itself on his arrogant features, making me thump my hand on the bed in frustration.

"Well, that's obviously because I know her in person, and I must say she's the shallowest, most Little Miss Perfect person I've ever met! You don't know anything, Mr. Christ, so shut up!" I blurted out, a blush tinting my cheeks red as rage and hurt boiled up inside my heart. He thinks I'm a selfish, arrogant know-it-all? Well, I'll show him...

Chris's face changed for a moment, reflecting confusion, amusement, then back to his emotionless face.

"Kat, I think I'd better leave now. Uh, see you tomorrow," he said quietly. Silently, he made his way to the door. Without even saying a decent bye, he left, slamming the door behind him.

The only thing I managed to do was sigh. Why did I say that?

"Chiron, what's wrong? You should be celebrating! It's our first-year anniversary of Gaea's defeat, so come have some marshmallows!" came the persuasive voice of Piper McLean.

"My dear girl, something's not right. I can feel the sensation tingling throughout my whole body, There's something rising, something bad, something evil." Chiron's worried gaze reflected in his low pitched voice.

A frown spoiled Piper's features, "I thought Gaea was the largest enemy there was to face... Anyway, relax for now Chiron, you're thinking too much. Come join the campers whenever you're ready, and we'll hold a feast for you!" With that said, she left the Big House, her sound of her soft footsteps fading away into the night.

"You can come out now, Jace." Chiron said tiredly.

A figure emerged from the darkness, clad in a black, his amethyst eyes almost glowing from beneath the shadows.

"Well, Chiron. I'm surprised you still remember my name." He laughed drily, running his hand through his dark, golden brown hair.

"Jace, I never forget a camper. I assume you heard my conversation with Piper?" Chiron inquired.

"Yes, I did. I feel something as well, something stirring from the depths of Tartarus. Ominous, and powerful, maybe even more so than Gaea." The normally stoic teenager shuddered slightly at the thought, yet kept a calm composure.

"This is bad. What, or who, could hold such power?" Chiron muttered, mainly to himself.

Jace, having excellent hearing, stood up straight and said,

"I don't know Chiron, I just don't know."

So... I hope you enjoyed that! Sorry it may be a bit on the short side for some readers, but that's the best I can do so expect the other chapters to turn out like this!
