Obviously I do not own these characters, they belong to their respective owners, who have done such an amazing job of creating these characters that I won't even attempt to usurp them.

Chapter one

Percy's POV

"Percy, where are you going?" mum asked with thinly veiled concern.

I checked my pockets for Riptide, my sword, which currently looked like an ordinary disposable ballpoint but once uncapped, turned into a wicked looking sword. If you didn't know already, my name is Percy Jackson and I'm what you call a demigod. My father is Poseidon god of the sea, one of the big three, which means I get chased around by monsters a lot. In fact I recently defeated Gaea with the help of my friends the Romans, see I'm Greek and generally we don't get along as in the last time we got together world war 2 happened, we managed to lull her back to sleep. Now I'm home and I guess I understand why mum is so anxious, the thing is months ago Hera/Juno wiped my memory and I was missing for a few months and even though it's not my fault I feel bad for putting my mum through that.

"Just be careful," said Paul Blofis, my stepfather the wrinkles around his eyes also deepening in concern.

I gave my mum a long hug and Paul an awkward handshake thing- I was totally cool with him being with my mum and all but since I was always at camp or on a quest I didn't have much experience with being with him. "I'm not going far mum, I just want to take a walk."

My mum smiled while handing me a paper bag, I eagerly unwrapped it to find it filled with my mum's homemade blue chocolate chip cookies, it was buttery and warm and all kinds of delicious. I should probably explain about the blue cookies, see ever since my ex stepfather, smelly Gabe, told my mum that there was no such thing as blue food everything she cooked or baked me was always blue.

"Thanks mum." And with that I was out the door and onto busy streets of Manhattan.

I walked around for a long time periodically taken a bite of my cookie. I missed this, walking down the street with no monsters chasing after me, I knew it couldn't last; I'm a demigod and nine out of ten our lives ended in tragedy, especially if you were a child of the big three.

"Meow, meow." I looked around the streets trying to find the source of the noise because whatever it was it sounded in distress. I finally tracked the sound to a deserted alley way where a poor black cat was being strangled by a big ugly Cyclops, which I was probably related to. Cyclops are born from the union of nature spirits and gods- well a god in particular. If you haven't already guessed- Poseidon.

"Get away from the cat." I uncapped Riptide just to show I meant business.

Alec's POV

Jace and Clary were sat cuddling in the library, and Isabelle, my sister was busy having a phone conversation with her kind-of boyfriend Simon, after the whole Simon losing his memory thing I didn't know where they stood and neither did I care, when I received a text from Magnus, my warlock boyfriend.

Alec, U there? Come quickly, it's an emergency.

Magnus? What's wrong?

I sent back worriedly but unfortunately he didn't reply. I stared at the screen for two minutes but still nothing.

"Jace get up, I think Magnus is in trouble," I said while hurriedly showing him the text- I didn't want to waste any time.

Jace frowned. "What can scare a powerful warlock?"

Clary and Isabelle were already rushing out to the training room to gather weapons and their gear, at least that's what I assumed they were doing.

I paled suddenly, "you don't think he's been kidnapped again, do you?"

Jace stood up, took out a seraph blade and twirled in his hands. "Well, let's go find out, shall we? After we change of course."

I knocked urgently on Magnus's apartment door, literally counting the seconds until he opened it. Soon he stood in the doorway, his hair sparkly and dishevelled, like usual but there were bags under his eyes and his eyeliner was smeared- a sure sign he hadn't slept well. I hugged him tightly, my heart beating loudly with relief, clearly he was okay.

A minute later we were in Magnus's flat which was ridiculously messy- as expected.

"Why didn't you reply?" I asked still a little bit angry and worried.

"Yeah, it'd have saved us all the trouble of dashing here," replied Jace as he toyed with his seraph blade, Isabelle only scowled while Clary looked concerned.

Magnus sighed and ran his hand through his hair further dishevelling it. "Sorry, I lost my phone somewhere in this mess. I've been looking for Chairman Meow all day."

Jace blinked. "Your cat?"

"Yes, my cat." Magnus was clearly aggravated. "I can't find her anywhere."

"Why don't you use a tracking spell."

"My dear Isabelle, that would have been an excellent idea if I hadn't already tried it and got nothing."

Isabelle scowled, "no need to snap at me. I didn't lose your cat."

I glared at my sister, couldn't she see how worked up Magnus was? I stood up, walked to where Magnus paced and coaxed him into to sitting down with me on the love seat.

"How hard can it be to find a cat?" Asked Jace, as he absentmindedly rubbed Clary's hand. "I mean it needs food and water but then again looking at this place I scarcely doubt it has either. If I was your cat I would run away too."

Clary play punched her boyfriend's arm. "Magnus we'll help you find your cat but er do you have something we can wear?" she gestured to their shadow hunter gear. "We can't go around the streets of New York dressed like this."

"I can't believe we got all geared up for this. Where are the monsters? And why do you need all of us to help you find one stupid cat?"

"Jace, shut up," I muttered.

Magnus scowled at Jace, his hand suddenly sparking, "I help you shadow hunters all the time and if you want that help to continue I suggest-"

"Let's just find the stupid cat before it gets dark. I have a date with Simon and I'll be extremely pissed if I miss it."

Liked it? Hated it? I really don't mind as long as you have a legitimate reason for disliking it.
