Hey there! Just so you know, this isn't my first fanfic. It's my second. I just haven't posted the first one (It's a Killjoy fanfiction). I'm going to be writing this in the style of Heroes of Olympus, for now. Two chapters per character. The first two are written through one of my OC's perspective, hope you don't mind. I have two other chapters currently, so I'll post them every couple of days or so. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, or Heroes of Olympus. I only own my OCs, and the plot to this fic.

ReNeTtE

"Shhh, shhh, it's okay, Julia, it's okay." Said Renette, slowly rocking the little girl back and forth. She was twelve, but the size of a nine year old.

"Why do I keep seeing things? What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing's wrong with you, sweetie. Just calm down, okay?"

Despite her efforts, Julia continued to sob. Sometimes Renette didn't know what to do with Julia. She was always seeing things. The future, she said. And it scared her to death. Death... That's something that Renette would know a lot about. And she also knew why Julia saw the future. But she would never tell her. Never. Renettehad had that weight on her shoulders when she was only eight, and she never wanted Julia to know the truth, because it was just so heavy. She would never let them get her. Renette could feel them, sometimes. Watching her and Julia. An eye in the sky- literally.

Once Julia had cried herself out, she just sat there in the little clearing, looking blank. Renette and Julia had camped out in some woods in Virginia, and there were no signs of monsters... Yet. The cold wind rustled the trees, making leaves the color of autumn fall around them. It didn't look like rain, which was good. They didn't have a tent. Just a couple of sleeping bags and a backpack each. Both girls were almost clean out of food... So that meant Renette would either have to steal some soon, or try her hardest to get a job for a couple of days. Jobs were hard for her, because if she didn't keep moving then monsters would find her. As for the stealing, Renette hated it. But sometimes they had no choice. She had to keep Julia fed. Even if that meant getting arrested or attacked by monsters. Even though Julia was much faster and smaller than Renette, Renette would never let her steal. Stealing was bad. And Renette didn't want Julia doing anything bad. She didn't want her life to go downhill, like Renette's had. No bad choices for Julia.

"You should get some sleep, Julia." Renette said. The moon was high in the sky.

"Can't." Julia said.

"Something you saw?" Renette guessed. Julia waited a moment before answering.

"Yes."

"Listen, sweetie, you've got to get some rest. You can't do anything about those visions. Just get some sleep."

"Okay..." Julia grumbled, spreading out her sleeping bag.

"I'm just worried, Renette."

"About what?" Renette asked.

"I'm worried that one day I'll see a vision of... A vision of... Well, a vision of you. Or a vision of my mom. And I won't be able to stop it."

"Don't worry about it, Julia. I'll take watch. Don't think about it." Renette said. Julia didn't answer. But she still blinked back tears.

For the first few hours that Renette had watch, nothing happened except the occasional wild animal running through the forest. And a ghost. They appeared to Renette sometimes. How annoying. If she told them to go away, they listened. But that was no mystery. In the night, Renette almost blended in. Her

black hair, dark blue t-shirt and black jeans seemed to melt in the darkness. The only contrast was her pale skin, that seemed white against her long ebony hair. Julia was almost an opposite to her. The twelve year old had blonde hair the color of sunlight. She always wore bright colors, reds and pinks and yellows. The only thing she and Renette had in common were their eyes. Each girl had blue eyes. Julia's the color of a clear day, Renette's more stormy. How fitting.

By the time Renette had been on watch for about four hours, the first shafts of sunlight could be seen on the horizon. It was Julia's stupid dad driving that stupid chariot across the sky. Sorry, not chariot. Sports car. What a little- she didn't finish the thought. The ghosts had told her what he was like. Of course, Julia didn't know who her dad was. Her mom never told her, and there was no way in hell that Renette would tell her. She hoped Julia never found out. That way the gods could never take her away. Well, okay, Renette didn't know for sure that Apollo was Julia's dad, but it was so obvious, if you knew what to look for. Julia never missed the bullseye when handling a bow, and the girl practically radiated sunlight. She had a healing touch. She was wonderful at almost any musical instrument, stringed ones in particular. Plus, there was that whole seeing the future thing. That was an Apollo thing. Renette had heard stories from ghosts about some of Apollo's kids that shared what they saw... And the result wasn't pretty. To think that the stupid god would even consider doing things like that to his own kids was sickening. And of course she had read myth about him- she had read myth about all of the gods. She didn't want Julia exposed to it. Even though she wanted Julia to share her visions, Renette deemed it too dangerous. What if one of those horrible things happened to Julia? Renette would never be able to bear it. She knew that the gods were constantly watching them... Waiting for a mistake. Renette could tell they hated her. Why? First of all, they didn't know who her godly parent was. And they knew how powerful she was. Well, they didn't know the whole show, otherwise they'd be able to tell who her dad was. But either way, it was dangerous being watched all the time. Before she did anything too terribly revealing of her powers, she'd have to make sure she didn't feel that little tickling feeling on the back of her neck. She could feel them watching right now. Renettewas surprised they hadn't killed her yet. She didn't know why exactly, but she had her suspicions. She protected Julia. And she could tell that Julia was... Important.

The sun rose high above them. Renette glared at it. She really should've woken Julia up by now, the younger girl hated Renette staying up all night. Too late now, Renette thought. As the sun was right over their heads, Julia woke up. At sunrise, no matter where they were, Julia woke up. She was shaking. She'd probably had a bad dream about what she had seen.

"Did you... Did you not wake me up at all?" Julia asked, irritated.

"Hey, I'm older! I can stay up later!"

"Not true, Renette! You're only five years older than me anyway!"

Renette didn't say anything.

"You should get some rest, Renette. I won't be able to go to sleep anyway." Julia said, motioning her head towards the sun.

"Fine." Renette said, stretching out on her sleeping bag. She closed her eyes and instantly fell asleep.


Demigod dreams aren't that much fun.

Renette was in the woods of the north. She knew it was the north because she knew that it wasn't the south. She had spent enough time in the south to know what it looked like.

It looked like people were recovering from a battle- a bunch of teenage kids and half-goat kids (satyrs, right?) slowly retreating from the dense woods. They were walking towards a large clearing, with lots of cabins lined up in a U shape. More cabins were spread out in other shapes in other places. Some of the buildings were smoking, and a couple of places looked like they used to have a cabin there. But right now, it just looked like a pile of rubble. Some of the kids carried stretchers, and Renette noticed that teenage girls with green-tinted skin were now walking among them, a few of them freaking out over injured satyrs.

They stopped in the middle of the clearing with the U cabins, Renette gliding along beside them. Suddenly the crowd parted, and a centaur with curly brown hair and a teenaged red headed girl walked through. The centaur was carrying a bow, with an almost empty quiver of arrows strapped to his back. Several cuts and bruises blemished the white stallion part of him. The red headed girl looked frazzled, but unharmed.

The centaur spoke.

"I know that we have suffered losses today-"

"Losses?!" One of the kids cried out, cutting off the centaur.

"My cabin burned down!"

"My best friend is DEAD!"

"The camp is in ruins!" Tons of kids were yelling.

"Wait!" A boy stepped forward. He looked about eighteen, with dark hair and sea green eyes.

"Let Chiron speak."

"Thank you, Percy. As I was saying." The centaur, who was apparently named Chiron, continued.. Wait. The Chiron? Not right now, Renette thought. Just listen.

"I know that we have suffered many losses today. Some of them great, some of them minor. But now is the time that we need each other the most. I think that we should treat the wounded and get the camp cleaned up. Then we will discuss a battle plan."

The crowd remained quiet. The centaur Chiron left, followed by the red headed girl who was looking more frantic by the second. The kid named Percy turned away, looking so grim Renette didn't think it was possible. He looked around like he'd lost something important.

"Something's not right here." Said a boy that looked about fifteen or sixteen. He had longish black hair, pale skin, and a silver skull ring. He was dressed pretty much all in black, and was holding a black sword. He turned toward Renette.

But he can't see me! He can't see me!, Thought Renette, internally freaking out. The miserable boy Percy walked over.

"What is it, Nico?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Can't you feel that? That... Chill? Like someone's watching us?" The boy named Nico asked, walking straight to Renette.

"Umm.. Nope, no scary presences here." Said sad Percy, stepping up beside Nico.

Get out! Get out now!, Renette ordered herself. But she couldn't. She was stuck. The boy named Nico took a sudden step back.

"Get out!" Renette told herself, aloud this time.

"Get out!" She felt energy pooling around her. The ground started shaking. People everywhere shot frantic glances at the scene.

Oh, god, she thought. I'm really doing this. Doing it for real. But then she started to dissipate. She woke up, to the sound of a girl screaming.


"Renette! Renette! WAKE UP!" Julia shrieked, terrified. Well, Renette was already awake. And no, she did not like what she saw.

"Dr-dr-dr-dra-drakon." Her voice was barely a whisper. She clamped a hand over Julia's mouth, muffling her screams. The giant serpent took up almost the whole clearing. The piercing yellow eyes stared right at Renette, paralyzing her with fear. Oh my god, Renette thought. Oh my god. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. The tickling sensation on the back of her neck seemed to grow stronger, like the whole family had gathered to watch the show.

The drakon lifted its head back. It opened its mouth, like it was going to blow fire. Like it was going to blow fire. Fire.

No, please, no, Renette thought. Not now. Not when they're watching.

The drakon's eyes were no longer fixed on her, so Renette had just enough time to gather her self before she made her move. She did the only thing she could at the moment. She caused an earthquake. The drakon looked down, confused. A crack in the earth had torn open right underneath the drakon, spreading wider every second. The drakon seemed to panic, flailing. It reared its head back and spewed fire into the air.

"Julia! Get up!" Renette ordered, pulling the girl up by her arm. Both girls grabbed their backpacks and sleeping bags, and bounded off into the woods. Once they were about twenty feet away, Renette stole a glance back at the clearing. The whole place was on fire, and spreading quickly. The crack Renette had made in the ground was also spreading quickly, catching up to them. She knew that she couldn't close it up this time.

"There's a river up ahead! We need to get to it! Someone's there!" Screamed Julia, but she was still hard to hear over the roar of flames and cracking earth.

"How do you know someone's there?" Renette screamed back.

"Is it- oh!" She must have seen it. She must have foreseen someone waiting for them. This was the first time Julia had ever shared something she saw- oh, god, no. What was going to happen? Renette had no time to think about it as they crashed through the dense woodland and out into the clear dewy morning. Renette and Julia ran forward, crashing straight into something. Everything and everyone flew back, careening into the river.

Renette was swept downstream. She had no idea where Julia was, and that freaked her out more than the fact that she was heading straight for the rapids. She sputtered and gasped, desperately trying to get a glimpse of Julia. That's when she hit her first rock.

She slammed into it full force, knocking the breath out of her. Then she hit another, and another, and another, and another. The world seemed to spin, and she heard someone calling her name. Suddenly the river lurched backwards, and Renettewas knocked out of the water on a big water spout. She was dumped on the river bank, coughing up what must have been gallons of water. She felt something tugging at her lungs, and all the water rushed out of her chest. She felt herself being pulled up, and she felt dizzy. A weird drink that tasted exactly like her mom's cake recipe was brought to her lips, and she felt better. That's right... it was called Nectar. She'd never had it before. Renette didn't expect it to be so... sad. She heard sobbing, a dog barking, and too many voices to count. One voice broke through.

"Renette! Wake up! Please! Please, please wake up!" It was Julia. Renette's eyes shot open, and she sucked in air like she never had before. Julia was in front of her, crying her eyes out. Renette pulled her into a hug.

"I'm okay, sweetie." She looked up.

"You!" Renette exclaimed, standing up abruptly, but almost falling over.

It was them. It was the sad boy Percy, and the kid called Nico. Plus a gigantic dog, a kid who Renette recognized from her dream, and a very tall boy thatRenette realized had only one eye. A cylcops.

"H-h-how did you get here so fast?" Renette said.

"We didn't." Said sad boy Percy.

"What?" She said.

"What Percy means is that it wasn't fast. I'm guessing you saw us in a dream?" The kid called Nico asked.

"Yeah! About ten minutes ago!" The Nico kid looked sort of confused.

"Well, that's weird." Said the boy that she recognized from her dream, but didn't know by name. He had curly dark brown hair, slightly pointy ears, and a very mischievous grin. He looked around the same age as Percy.

"The name's Leo, by the way." He added, flashing a dazzling smile.

"Now is not the time, Leo." Said sad Percy.

"I'm just saying hello!"

"Yeah, alright." He turned, addressing Renette.

"I'm Percy. This is Nico." He said.

"Leo already introduced himself. He's Tyson." Percy said, pointing towards the cyclops. "And that's Mrs. O'Leary." He pointed towards the giant dog. Renette tilted her head.

"Hellhound!" She exclaimed. Everybody jumped, except for poor little Julia, still crying. But it wasn't the same crying as she was doing earlier, when they had pulled Renette out of the water. It was the kind of crying she did when she saw a particularly scary vision. The shaky, hyperventilating kind. Renette's eyes widened in fear. What was it this time?

"What are your names, exactly?" Said Nico, interrupting Renette's moment of terror.

"I'm Renette." She said. "And this is Julia." She added, crouching beside the little girl. She cradled her in her arms, rocking her back and forth like she always does during a long vision.

"It'll be okay, sweetie. Just wait it out. It'll be okay." Renette said. The new group looked rather confused.

"One minute." She said to them, giving what was hopefully a pleading look. Percy nodded.

"She is pretty." Said Tyson the cyclops, but Percy quickly shushed him.

After about five minutes, Julia stopped crying. But she continued to shudder scarily. Renette just kept rocking her back and forth, telling her that it'd be okay. Then Julia stopped altogether, and passed out.

"Julia!" Cried Renette, catching the little girl before she hit the ground. Percy got up to help, and they laid Julia down on top of her sleeping bag.

"Um, I hope nobody minds me asking, but what just happened here?" Leo piped up. Renette opened her mouth to say something, but no sound came out. Everybody ignored Leo. Renette got the feeling they did that a lot.

"It is okay." Said Tyson the cyclops. "She is asleep. She will wake up. Do not worry." He patted Renette on the head, and she felt strangely better.

"Thank you, Tyson. You're right." She said with a smile, and sat herself up straighter.

"Okay. I'll tell you guys everything. Well, almost everything. If you'll tell me how you got here so fast."

"We didn't get here fast at all! It took a whole week to find you! Because Nico here took so long!" Cried Leo.

"Why don't you try looking for someone on hunches alone!" Nico shot back.

"I don't even know why we had to find this chic anyway! It has nothing to do with Annabeth!"

"You heard the Oracle!"

"Hey! Her name is Rachel!" Interjected Percy.

"Um-" Renette said, trying to get their attention. She failed, and they continued to bicker. Tyson the cyclops looked upset. The hellhound Mrs. O'Leary let out a howl.

"HEY!" Renette yelled. That got their attention.

"WHAT?" They all said in unison. Renette raised her arms in mock surrender.

"I just think we should get back on track, that's all. Please explain to me what's happened, and how you got here. Evidently, not very fast."

Percy took a deep breath.

"Sorry. You saw us in a dream, right? What exactly did you see?"

Renette paused for a moment. She decided it would be best to tell the truth.

"I saw a bunch of kids and satyrs leaving the woods. It looked like a battle had just happened. A centaur named Chiron spoke. Then... Then you noticed me." She pointed at Nico.

"I tried to get out. But... I mean, I didn't mean to. Honest."

Percy tilted his head.

"Mean to what?"

"I didn't mean to cause that earthquake. Sorry if I damaged your- well, wherever you guys were."

"Hm." Nico said.

"This is... Really weird." Leo commented.

"But how did I do that? I know my strengths. Never before have I caused something to happen in a dream. Especially not one that took place in the past."

"Wait... So you know what you are?" Percy asked her. Renette took a quick glance at Julia.

"You sure she's asleep?" She asked.

"Yes. The blonde girl is asleep." Tyson confirmed, sitting next to Julia's unconscious form.

"I know what I am. But Julia doesn't. So please, please don't tell her."

"Why not?" Percy asked.

"I don't want her to know. I can't let them... I'm sorry. I don't think I can say anymore. They're watching." Renette said, her voice quavering with worry.

"Who's watching?" Percy asked, whispering.

"She means the gods. The gods are watching. But how can you tell?" Nico said, staring at her. Leo seemed to be impartial. He was messing with something in his hand. It looked like metal.

"I can feel them. On the back of my neck. They're always watching me. When will they stop watching me?" Renette said, almost a little desperately.

"It's okay." Nico said. "Don't worry about it right now. Do you know who your godly parent is?"

"Yes." She said. "And I know who Julia's is, too. But that's exactly why they're watching me. They don't know. They want to know. But I don't want them to."

"How old are you?" Percy asked.

"Seventeen. Wait, why?"

"Reasons. It's important. What about her?" He said, motioning his head towards Julia. Renette thought about maybe not answering, but she decided she could trust them.

"She's twelve."

"Hasn't been claimed, then." Percy muttered.

"No." Renette said.

"How do you know what claiming is?" Nico asked her.

"I know a lot of things." She said, smiling mischievously.

"But how?"

"Not tellin'. She said. Leo looked up at her and grinned like he'd been listening the whole time. Maybe he had been paying attention.

"Monster coming." Tyson announced.

"We should get going. Take them to camp." Percy said, hopping up. He sounded almost frantic.

"Wait! Camp for demigods? I don't think so!" Renette said.

"Why not?"

"Julia can't know! They'll take her away!"

"Who?"

"The gods! Leave! I can handle this! It's probably that drakon!"

"Drakon!?" Leo shouted. Percy and Nico just looked stunned.

"Yes! Now leave!" Renette said, with a lot more urgency.

"Yes! Leave! Monster coming!" Tyson said, panicking.

"I'll be fine." She said. They were then interrupted by Julia, who had apparently woken up. She was issuing a series of high pitched shrieks, pointing at the forest. When Renette turned, she saw the drakon advancing toward them.


It seemed to be wounded. Kind of like it was almost limping, if a serpent could limp. Was it burned? No, it couldn't be burned by its own flames. It was moving slower than it was before, but still too fast for Renette's liking. The drakon's eyes were fixed right on Renette, so she was paralyzed, once again.

"Alright. We're not leaving you here to die. Let's go." Percy said.

Renette still couldn't look away.

"I'll be fine!" She said.

"Tyson, if it's not too much trouble." Said Percy.

"Okay!" Came Tyson's cheery reply. She heard the big hellhound Mrs. O'Leary bounding over. Then Renette found herself getting hoisted up by Tyson the cyclops. Her eye contact with the drakonhad been broken, so she could move again.

"HEY! LET ME GO! THIS IS KIDNAPPING! AH!" She screamed, flailing about. But she was nothing compared to a cyclop's strength. He sat her on the huge dog, right beside Julia. The poor girl looked terrified. Her face was blank, like she'd just been looking into the Drakon's eyes.

"Alright, girl." Percy said, patting Mrs. O'Leary. "Take us to Camp Half Blood."

Renette would've gotten off, but she knew what Mrs. O'Leary was about to do. And she also knew that she could never get off fast enough and be able to take Julia with her. Renette closed her eyes, and braced herself for shadow traveling.


So? What did you think? Reviews welcome! I'm sorry if there were any typos or technical errors, sometimes I miss them, and I always make them.

By the way, I think it sucked. But I think everything I write is absolutely horrid, so... Constructive criticism welcome! Please, please tell me what you think. I want at least two reviews before I post the next chapter. Until then, I bid you ado!

PS- This fic didn't look like this to begin with. added all sorts of gaps I couldn't remove. Like, there were originally spaces between each capital/little letter in the beginning, where I have "ReNeTtE". :(
