HELLO! So I've decided to redo everything, with editing and...yeah...This is going to be second to Before Dawn, but I think I'm going to have fun doing it! Chapters 1-6 are done, and I'm working on them slowly. Hopefully, I'll be able to update everything by the next week.

Diary Entry #1

Day 1

Dear...well, whatever you call this. Diary, Journal, Letter book, whatever.

My name is Juliette. Or Julia. Or Lettie. But I have absolutely no idea why my brother shoved this diary into my hands.

Which is rather odd.

So hello. Hola. Aloha.
I live at Camp Half-Blood. Well, obviously. Ever since I was nine, I went to this camp. I'm sixteen now, and, yeah.

My two best friends, Marianna and Layla are like twins. Even though they're from different families. After all, the first thing that I asked them when I first saw them was if they were twins. They told me that they were not. I looked at them and asked if they were sure. Because, well, they had the same slightly yellowish brown hair and big eyes that were wide and pretty. And they were from the same cabin, Hermes, which probably accounted for how close they looked together. But anyway, I felt out of place next to them, with my weirdy-golden-brownish hair and light blue eyes that they tell me look okay together even though I think that It makes me look like a ghost.

Wow.

And from now on, this is an account about everything that has, or will happen to me.

Diary Entry #2

Day 2

I am steadily becoming way too tired.

Well, for starters, I had to go swordfighting. And do you know who they paired me up with? Percy Jackson! Yes, that Percy Jackson, the one I've been drooling over ever since Grover brought him to camp like, six years ago. He's nineteen and I'm three years younger then him, but he is wayyyy too cute. Unfortunately, he's dating Annabeth, and everyone can see that they're obviously in love, so, adios Percy. He's also going off to collage this year.

"Hey," I said to him.

How cliché is that? We're talking to each other, and I'm like, staring at his perfect green eyes and the only thing I can say is- 'hey'.

Good for me that he doesn't judge people that much, because otherwise, he would be looking at me like I was crazy. "Hi," he said back an gave me a smile. If I weren't so in control of my emotions, I would have swooned, like all the twenty other girls at Camp. But if we get like, an inch too close, Annabeth comes around (how does she do that?) and glares at us. Believe me, I know. Marianne and Layla say that I'm crazy, that Percy isn't worth it, but...wow.

The only other dude that's almost as perfect is Nico. He was pretty immature when they brought him to camp, his sister was fourteen, but he was a little kid. But now, he's my age and has these amazing black eyes and black hair combined with his pale skin that makes me sigh like mad. Of course, he's taken too by that darn Jess from the Apollo cabin and I just want to strangle her so, like I did with Percy, bye bye Nico.

Geez, are all the cute guys taken?

So I'm swordfighting with him when he suddenly goes, "So, what's up?"

And I, being the clumsy bloke I am, nearly dropped my sword and he nearly sliced off my head before I dodged and kicked out at him. "Nothing much," I said as he stumbled. "Sorry about that," I said, trying not to laugh as I put my sword to his throat. "Dead."

He grinned and I realized that there was someone behind me and I whirled around, but too late. Annabeth had already put her dagger to my throat.

"Dead," she said.

And I got mad. "Hey-whoa! Two against one! Not fair!"

"Good," Annabeth said, with a little smile on her face and that immediately makes me mad. Again. "So why don't you go and Percy and I will fight together."

I grinned at her and wink. "Just fighting?"

I'd love to say that I hate Annabeth, but the fact is that she and I have a relationship purely based on teasing and joking together with pretend jealousy...if that makes any sense at all? She says I'm okay for an Aphrodite kid (Thanks?) and that she can beat my ass at swordfighting any day (yeah, thanks, but it's true).

And so there I was, smirking at the two of them (they were flirt-fighting) when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I whirled around and Nico was there. "I saw what you did to Percy," he said. "Wanna bet you can do it again-to me?"

I smirked. "You're on," I said, and we started to swordfight.

Dang he was good. Of course, when I had fought Percy, I had fell and he was concerned, which broke his concentration. But Nico was steady and kept on lashing at me, which therefore made it near impossible to 'pretend' and fall. Which made me mad and you know, emotion is the ally of your opponent.

In no time, he had me pinned to a tree behind me.

"Fine," I said. "You win." And he had just relinquished his hold on me when I lashed out, trapping him in a web of daggers. He had the nerve to laugh.

"Cheater," he accused.

"Cheating is a way of winning," I informed him softly. He shut up.

I let go of him. "No tricks, death boy," I warned him, walking backwards so my eyes were on him. He started laughing again as I slammed into Mrs. O'Leary, Percy's pet hellhound. The minute I turned around, he was there. His Black Stygian sword or whatever was at my throat.

"I said no tricks," I complained, standing very still.

"As you said, trickery is a way of success," Nico whispered in my ear. I rolled my eyes, though he couldn't see.

He finally sheathed his sword and stuck out his hand. "Truce?" he asked.

I shook it. He was awfully cold. "Truce."

Now, I'm in my cabin-which is by the way, Aphrodite, with my silly cabin mates, which are all fighting about whether lip gloss looks nicer sparkly or clear. I told Marianna about my encounter with him and she's a Nico fan as well, so she said that he's a hottie and if he breaks up with Jess, that I should totally go to him. I swatted her on the arm.

"He and Jess are perfectly happy!" I said to Marianna.

"No way," Marianna giggled. "They were fighting last night."

"So?" I demanded. "All good couples fight."

"Yeah, but they sounded like they were on the verge of breaking up. No good couple sounds like that-except for Percy and Annabeth. They fight like that all the time, and then make up. Pity for us," Marianna said with a grin.

"Whatever. Let's stop mooning over taken people and eat," I grumbled. Honestly! It's like there was nothing else better for us to do then gossip.

"Fine," Marianna said.

And so now, I'm chewing on the end of my pencil, thinking about all the miserable things in my life that people could consider lovely. For one thing.

Diary Entry #3

Day 3

Oh lovely. Just plain lovely.

Yesterday, Marianna and I were talking about how Nico and Jess might break up. Well, it's official now. They broke up. Apparently, Nico was sick of how Jess was so clingy. And...Jess had seen me and Nico swordfight the other day and claimed that it was 'intimate' and he was 'cheating on her with me'.

Yahoo. As if I were worth cheating for. Jess is like, the queen of Barbies with her perfect 'silky' golden hair and perfect green eyes, and is as tall as Nico. I'm pretty short. Marianna teases me about it all the time, and in return, I punch her in the arm.

Marianna told me during a snack time.

"So?" she asked, obviously expecting me to do something.

"And your point is?" I asked her.

She gave a huff. "Nothing! I just wanted to say, well, that."

"You do realize that we have to watch a movie today?" I asked. "It's supposed to teach us something."

"What else do we have to be taught?" Marianna asked.

"Loads of things," someone said dryly from behind me. "Like the new threat."

I whirled around. Marianna sipped her drink and giggled. I rolled my eyes.

"Hello Nico," I said tiredly. He was looking very perky today, for which I had no idea. His usual pack was behind him, a Hermes boy named Sean, a boy from Ares that was named..uh...Tom? Or something like that. And another one, a boy from the Hecate cabin with the green eyes and brown hair. He was annoying, and I think I punched him after he magically turned my hair bright blue, claiming that it looked pretty. I told him that he'd be mumbling pretty after I was done with him. I was a violent Aphrodite girl.

He slid into the seat next to me. "Haven't you heard?"

I shook my head.

"Kronos isn't rising, but his followers are. Again. Percy is going to be so pissed," Nico said regretfully, running a hand through his hair. "And there's something else that's rising-only thing is that we don't know what it is. Whatever he is, he has a hundred minds. A hundred.

"Oh yeah, cause he thought that he got rid of them," Marianna said, nodding wisely. "I see."

I looked down. Nico was wearing a shirt that molded perfectly to his body, showing all his muscles. It made me want to blush. "A hundred minds? That's a little scary, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is," Nico said seriously, and I finally looked up. "We have no idea what it is."

"I think you already told us that," I said. We chattered on aimlessly, until the annoying boy from Hecate (I found out that his name was Ryan) dragged Nico away.

"He's totally hot," Marianna breathed.

"Yeah," I mumbled, then blushed. "Okay, but how's Layla?"

Layla was our other friend. She had broken her arm, and was in the infirmary.

"Oh, she's fine," Marianna said, looking oblivious. "She's still complaining about her head, but she's just joking, or wanting some attention."

"That sounds like our Layla," I said.

Weird right? Well, I'm going to skip into the movie scene, because we were glued to seats with pieces of paper and pencils to take notes, so what I did was write notes, and toss them at my friend.

I'm so bored! -J.

Oh, don't be such a spoilsport. It's really quite fascinating.-M

You're hilarious. -J

Was that sarcasm? Yes, it was. Now shut up and watch the movie, or-oooh, Nico's watching you! -M

He is? Where? Oh. -J

You're obsessed. -M

Shut up. -J

And those were only about 1 percent of the notes we passed.

In fact, Nico was, in fact watching me. The minute I whipped my head around to search for him, and found him, he was staring at me. When he saw that I was staring right back, instead of looking down, he gave a crooked smile. My face burned. He had seen that Marianna and I had been passing notes the entire movie.

My face is still red. Ugh.

Diary Entry #4

Day 4

Why am I so bored?

Marianna is wicked. I am going to kill her. I was walking with her when she shoved me with a wicked smile-straight into Nico's arms. While I was sputtering and swearing and cursing, Jess saw and started shrilly shrieking at me.

It went a little bit like this:

Me: I hate you Marianna!

Marianna: Mwa ha ha

Jess: (comes over, sees me) So YOU'RE the reason that Nico broke up with me! (cursing, cursing, blah blah)

Me: What? NO!

Jess: It's true! (More colorful cursing.)

Nico: SHUT UP!

And it went on like that for a few more minutes, until Chiron came and told all of us to get the heck out of there. Well, he was too polite to say that- all he said was that we should probably stop fighting and please stay out of each other's way, but I could tell- he was thinking that we were a nuisance.

Hmph. I am soooo going to kill Marianna tomorrow. But tomorrow is the day that I can finally see Layla (the nurse would only let the Hermes cabin see her until now) and dang, that is the first thing that I am going to do. Then I shall kill Marianna.

If I remember.

Author's Note: Yeah, thank you for reading! Hugs!

Yeah, yeah, there's not Eragon in this chapter. Don't worry, the entire story starts soon. Love, Me.
