Hey, hey guys. I'm sorry to say this but my life has gotten too stressful that I lost focus on my stories a while back. All of them but this one are now up for takeover. I hope you enjoy my newest work Darkest Times.

"Dammit, did you have to pull a stunt like that?" I heard a voice say. "Gotta stop the bleeding." I felt cloth being pushed against my side.

As the voice registered and the persons face became clearer, I was filled with both fear and relief. "Sandra...you're okay."

"Of course I'm okay! You took that blast head on! Why would you do that?!" She sobbed, unable to hold it in anymore.

"You and I both know damn well why." I said, and she looked down at me and smiled a little. I used all my energy to reach a hand up and stroke her raven black hair. She looked at me with her watery, black eyes. I let out a horrible cough, which scratched my throat and caused blood to fly out. Sandra's eyes went wide.

"Andrew!"

"I'll be fine..." I grimaced. "Just...before I go-"

"Don't say that!" Sandra demanded.

"Look, we both know," I let out another hack, "I'm going to die. Just let me finish. I want you to know that even you are the daughter of the god of the darkness, you've always been the light in my life."

She broke down again. "Gods dammit Andrew!"

I smiled up at her, then slowly started to close my eyes. "No! Andrew! You can't leave me!"

I coughed one more time before closing my eyes all the way. Now I just have to wait.

"Whatchya writing?" A voice behind me asked.

"Ah!" I yelled, startled.

"Oh did I scare you?" Sandra giggled.

I spun around and was greeted by two fleshy bulbs in my face. "Shit!" I jumped back, falling off my bed. "What did I say about tits and my face?"

Sandra sighed, "Don't get them too close in the morning, when you're too tired to enjoy the sight."

"And?" I said, motioning for her to continue.

"And it's not the first thing you want to see when I break your focus." She finished with a exasperated sigh.

"Good." I pushed myself into a sitting position. "What time is it?" I asked, looking around.

"It's 5 A.M." She said getting down. "You okay?"

I nodded, getting off the ground. I looked at her, then blushed deeply. "For gods sake! Put a shirt on!"

Sandra giggled. "What? It's not like you haven't seen em before!"

I groaned. "Come on!"

She sighed, then melted into the shadows and left my cabin. I looked around, the sun was just coming up. I picked up my journal and opened it again. What happened next? I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the picture, but I got nothing. I stayed like that for five minutes before giving up and throwing it on my bed. "Dammit." My cabin next to empty, per usual. There was only three other people who had the same father as me. Chronos, the god of time. Sandra's dad was Erebus, the god of dark. I put on some jeans and my Camp Half-Blood t-shirt. I combed over my white hair and put contacts in my eyes so they were brown instead of a misty blue. I looked in my mirror. A handsome looking 5'11 and 170 lbs. looked back at me. TIME TO SIEZE THE DAY!

I grabbed my pocket watch and staff and ran out the door. As I exited, I tapped the staff on the grass quickly to make sure it wasn't tampered with in the night. The grass grayed and shriveled up. Feeling satisfied, I spun in around once and it shrunk into a cane. I sauntered off to the woods, when I looked down and saw an extra shadow. "Do you have a shirt on now?" I asked.

"Yes, I've also got a skirt." Sandra answered.

"Panties?" I asked.

"You'll have to find out for yourself." I heard her giggle, then she popped up out of the shadow. I rolled my eyes, she smiled and winked at me.

Sandra's weapon was twin daggers that turned into the rings she wore constantly. We walked into the woods and started our daily walk. Sandra looped her arms around mine. "You know what tomorrow is?" Sandra asked.

"What?" I asked, knowing I forgot something important.

"This proves it! You have horrible memory!" Sandra shouted, punching me in the arm.

"Ow! What is it?" I asked, rubbing my arm.

"Tomorrow's our three year anniversary!" She shouted.

"Oh yeah." I laughed.

"At least nothing crazy has happened." She said, hitting me softly again.

"Don't jinx it!" I said, joking.

Sandra smiled and I laughed, that was my mistake. I let my guard down for a split second. And a lot can happen in a second. Something ran up and snatched Sandra from me.

"Andrew!" Sandra yelled, but her voice was lost in the wind.

"Sandra!" I pulled out my pocket watch and opened it. Time slowed down around me and I ran after the thing. How it got camp borders was beyond me. I got closer to whatever took Sandra. To my shock, I saw another kid carrying her. He was pretty tall and he had brown hair. His eyes moved towards me, then he smirked. That was impossible! Before I could do anything, he punched me in the jaw, sending me flying back. Time sped back up and he ran off with Sandra into the new day.

There we go. I hope you guys liked what you read. This is after The Last Olympian, as there is a cabin for Chronos and Erebus. But I'm going to start working on the second chapter tonight. 'See' you guys in a few days
