TheAnnoyingOne97: The original chapter title is supposed to be "The Quest to give Persephone a message from Demeter so that we don't die!" but it was to long of a name.

Lucia: TheAnnoyingOne97 does not own PJatO or any of the other characters besides me and Victor!

Lucia's POV

I freaking hate Hades. And I'm not talking about the god, oh no. I am talking about the damn Underworld!

Confused? Well lucky you. Meanwhile me and two of my friends had to go down to the Underworld because- Well I'm getting ahead of myself, so let me start off at the beginning.

Hi, my name is Lucia Fuller and I'm the daughter of Nike, the goddess of victory. I have orange wavy hair that ends at my shoulders, mossy green eyes, and a tall willowy body that is so pale you might think that I'm dead. I'm originally from Seattle Washington, but during most of the year I live at Camp Half Blood, a camp where demigods come for refuge and training.

And the morning before I found out that I had to go to Hades was pretty normal. Since Percy Jackson (a son of Poseidon and also the Chosen One) pretty much forced the gods into having more cabins be built, Nike has a cabin now! And before that I had to be in Hermes cabin. Very over crowded. But as I said before, my morning was normal. I woke up to my best friend poking me with a stick.

"Wake up, Luci! You're wasting the day away!"

Good old Amore, my best friend ever since coming to camp. I peaked my eyes opened and saw her standing next to my bed. Her waste length ebony black hair was in a carefully tied into ponytail, and her misty blue eyes were shining with excitement. Instead of wearing shorts and the camp t-shirt like most of the other campers, she was wearing a neon pink shirt, dark jeans, and her black and white boots.

"Ammo!" I whined, "Quit poking me!"

"It's 7:50! Breakfast will be ready soon!"

Now you may be thinking that I'm not a morning person, but the truth is that I am. A Washington State morning person. I mean time moves 3 HOURS faster here in New York State than it does back in Seattle.

"I will shoot you if you don't get up soon!"

I quickly got up after that. Amore "Ammo" Jemison does not threaten people. She makes promises.

"I'm up!" I shouted, jumping up from my bed and headed straight towards my dresser. I share the cabin with my older half-brother, which sometimes sucks but at least I have more room for my stuff.

"There you go!" Amore said brightly, skipping out of my cabin and to who knows where. One thing that you need to know about Amore is that she's really bipolar.

I quickly changed from my pajamas (which consisted of a Seahawks jersey and sweats) and into my camp shirt and knee length shorts. I slipped on some flip flops and left my cabin and headed over towards the Dinning Pavilion for breakfast.

As I walked there I passed by the Demeter cabin and saw another one of my friends, Andria Graceton, planting some flowers the mortal way. Oh this can't be good.

"Hi Ria." I called out to her, walking towards her, "Is everything okay?"

"Nope!" she said quickly, patting a gardening tool onto the soil, "Nothing just that my mom is sending me onto my very first quest! But nothings going on! Don't you worry about!"

"Wait!" I stopped her rambling, "What do you mean about a quest?"

Andra put her gardening tools down and brushed her dark blonde hair (which she calls wheat color) away from her green eyes.

"My mom wants a message to be sent to..."

Amore's POV

"Hades!" I yelled out loud as my arrow hit the center of the target. We were both at archery practice, and I (being the daughter of Cupid) was hitting every target. While Lucia on the other hand was not (which is weird seeing as her mother is the goddess of victory).

The other campers that were doing archery looked at both me and Lucia after I yelled.

"Nothing to see here folks!" Lucia told them, grabbing my arm and dragging me away from the other campers so that she could talk to me without eavesdroppers. She dragged me to a tree and then continued her story.

"Yes, to Hades." she said.

"And you volunteered to go? Without even asking me if I wanted to go!" I grabbed her by the shoulders and started to shake her as I continued to yell at her, "You're not going anywhere without me!"

"Why do you think that I just told you about this! Andria wants you to come too! Now can you please let go of me?" I did as she asked me to and let go of her. When she fell onto the ground I immediately started to laugh.

"That's not funny!" she shouted at me, quickly getting off the ground and tackling me. We wrestled on the ground for a while until Andria Chiron found us.

"Are you two are done rolling around in the dirt?" he scolded us. Lucia and I got off of each other, Lucia elbowing me.

"Did you get our prophecy yet?" Lucia asked Andria.

"Why would we need a prophecy? We're just sending a message to Persephone." I reasoned. I mean really. Why the hell would we need one?

"We don't have one anyways." Andria informed us. I nodded at her.

"The what are we waiting for!" I said, totally excited for my first quest.

Hope nothing bad will happen.

But of course, I just had to think that and jinx everything!

Andria's POV

Gods I am so nervous! Why didn't Demeter chose Katie Gardner or someone else? Why would she chose me to send a message to Persephone?

"Hey Andi? Is everything okay?" Lucia asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. We (as in Lucia, Amore, and me) were riding in a train that will lead us out of New York City NY and into Pittsburgh PA where we will then go onto a train that will head towards Cleveland OH and to other cities I don't want to name. We would have been flying in an airplane, but I have a fear of heights so we agreed that we would take the train.

"I'm fine Lucy," I said, feigning a smile, "Just nervous. This is my first quest and all."

"We're just going down to the Underworld," Amore said simply, as if it was normal to go to the Underworld while you're alive, "Not like anything bad will happen."

But of course something did happen. But it didn't happen right after she said it. It happened like two days later when we got off the train from Tuscon AZ to Phoenix AZ. It was nearly 11:00 p.m. when we arrived, so we decided that we would rest at a motel for the night. But before we could even leave the station when a Laestrygonian showed up.

"So after we deliver this message, who wants to go to a casino?" Lucia asked.

"Chiron said to come straight back to camp after the message was delivered." Amore said.

"Since when did you live by the rules?" I asked her looking at both Amore and Lucia with a knowing smile. Travis and Conner Stoll weren't the only ones who caused mischief at camp.

We were walking towards the exit of the station when I felt a huge ruff hand on my shoulder. I turned around and got a punch to the face, my nose cracking when the fist reached my face.

"Andria!" Lucia called out in shock, her celestial bronze knives already flying out of her hands and landing into the giant's eyes.

"Ow! That hurt Brain Thrasher!" the Laestrygonian that punched me cried out. The two knives were sticking out of his eyes.

"Can I have those back?"

Before Brain Thrasher could even respond Lucia charged at him, both her hands in fist as she pounded on him. She pulled the knives out of his eyes and then stabbed him repeatedly until Amore screamed, "Leave some for me!"

She pulled out her bow and an arrow while I lifted my sword up, ready to fight. It was just a plain sword, with vines etched into the blade and up to the hilt that my mother gave me when I came to camp. Just as I charged into the battle Amore shot two of her arrows at the Laestrygonian into his gut.

"Quit hurting Brain Thrasher!" he whined, trying to slam his huge hands onto Lucia's head but she kept dodging him, causing his fists to destroy the ground below them.

"Get away from her!" I yelled, running up to the monster and with all my strength I slashed his ugly head off.

Lucia dropped to the ground after that with exhaustion.

"Have I ever told you guys how much I hate monsters?" she panted, her heart hammering inside her chest, "They always seem to come at me for some reason."

"You had your rest, now get up." Amore ordered Lucia, "The police are going to be here any second now."

All of a sudden sirens could be heard.

"Why do you always jinx it?" I said, giving her the third degree.

"Just part of the charm, I guess." Amore claimed with a smirk on her face.

I knelt down by Lucia and put her arm over my shoulder and stood up. Looked like I was going to have to carry her.

"I need a coffee." Lucia mumbled tiredly, "And I don't mean Starbucks."

"Quit your whining! And lets get out of here!"

And with Amore's words we left the station and headed towards a motel to stay the night. The motel was the sleaziest motel I've ever seen.

Amore's POV

"We're not sleeping here." I declared, my voice sounding weird because I had my nose pinched to keep the horrible smell out. I never in all my life have ever been in a place like this. And I've been in Mr. D's private room before (don't ask, just don't ask). The place was a dump. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls, I saw a cockroach the size of a peach chase after a rat (and then eating said rat), the manager (at least I think he was the manager) was grinding it up with some scantily clad girl behind the front desk (I had to cover Lucia's eyes to protect her innocence), and there was even a chalk outline of a body on the floor that police use in murder scenes.

How this place ever passed the health inspection I will never know. But I'm pretty sure there was a lot of bribing. Either that or the owner threatened the health inspector's life. I believe either one.

"It's the only place we can afford." Andria pointed out, "And it's not that bad."

"Why are you covering my eyes, Ammo? And where's that moaning coming from?" Lucia asked innocently. After we left the station we made a quick stop at a cafe for her to get coffee. For some reason coffee is her Nectar and Ambrosia, always giving her strength when it's depleted.

"There some things in this world that someone as young as you should never see." I explained to her, looking at the two people behind the front desk still grinding against each other with disgust.

"I'm a year younger-"

"Shush." I stopped her, putting my other hand away from my nose and over her mouth, gagging as the scent of the room clogged up my nose. I turned my attention back to Andria.

"Sweetie, there's bugs everywhere, there's people doing it here, and I think someone died over there." I explained to her, "When I die, I would rather have it not be done by a cockroach."

"Then what do you want to do?" she questioned me.

Lucia then started to mumble something and I released my hand away from her mouth.

"What?" I asked her, albeit irritably.

"I can always try to hot-wire a car."

Andria and I gave her a weird look, even though we knew she couldn't see it.

"Since when did you hot-wire a car?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't. But it's worth a try."

And so we led her out of the horrible place (and just in time too, the manager was taking his belt off) and went to the only car in the motel parking lot.

"I don't know if we should steal a car." Andria said, her visage clearly showing that she was deep in thought. She was probably thinking about whether or not we should "burrow" the car.

"Don't be such a goodie-goodie, Andy." I said, keeping watch for Lucia in case the owner of the vehicle found us, "I would rather go to Los Angeles now than stay another minute at this dump."

I then turned my attention to Lucia who was working on the car.

"Hurry it up!" I yelled at her, really just wanting to be done with this quest. It's been days since I saw my little sister or wreak havoc at camp.

The car then started to purr, as if it was following my command.

"Done!" Lucia said joyously, getting out of the driver's seat and doing her "happy-dance" which consisted of her jumping up and down with her arms waving in the air like the little freak she is.

"Just get into the car." I said, pushing her out of the way so that I could sit down in the driver's seat.

"I call shot-gun!" Lucia jumped up, rushing over to the passenger's seat, "And I shall call it Ramon!"

Andria shrugged her shoulders and opened the car door to get in.

"Lucia do I need to I.M Victor again?" she asked jokingly, putting her seat belt on. I blushed lightly when she said that name.

To cover it up I quickly snorted and said, "Like Victor would ever do anything. He just baby's her."

"Can we get going? I want to go to Disneyland!" Lucia pumped her fist into the air.

I ignored her and began to pull the car out of the lot and away from the motel.

"So you're just going to drive all the way to California in some car that you just stole?" I heard Andria ask me.

"Eh," I said, shrugging my shoulders, "It's better than staying in that motel."

Lucia's POV

An hour or so later (could have been longer but I slept through part of the car ride) we arrived in Los Angeles. We decided to get some burgers from In-And-Out Burgers before we left for the Underworld. We got them and headed towards an abandoned park to eat them.

"Oh I'm in love with these burgers! And these fries!" I moaned out in delight. Now if only I had Papa's cannoli. I would be in heaven.

"We should really start to head towards the Underworld."

I turned my attention away from my food to Andria, who had a serious look on her face.

"I haven't slept in almost twelve hours." Amore grumbled. Her head was resting on her arms on the table, having her eyes closed.

"Well we need to finish this. Might as well do it now." Andria reasoned with Amore. In my opinion I thought that we should let Amore sleep more (she isn't really fun to be around when she hasn't had her full eight hours of sleep) but then again if we finished the quest I could go back to camp and bug Draco, a fellow camper at camp that I befriended. After a minute of thinking I decided my opinion.

"I think that we should go." And with those words coming from my mouth I threw a fry in the air and waited for it to land in my mouth, only to find that Amore's hand shot off from the table and caught.

"Well let's get going then!" she said grumpily, some hobos that were walking around the park jumping at the sound of her harsh voice.

"My french fry!" I cried out.

That salty delectable greasy potato was supposed to be in my stomach.

"To bad!" Amore got up from the table, "The sooner we're done the sooner I can sleep!"

She left the table and Andria and I quickly followed her to make sure she didn't cause any harm to innocent bystanders.

Andria's POV

Charon is such a mean guy. Just because we didn't have any golden drachmas and that Amore punched him in the face he wouldn't let us into the Underworld. And after Lucia accidentally called him Chiron we got kicked out of the place.

"Well this stinks." I mumbled. I was sitting on the sidewalk and while Lucia was jumping around next to me trying to cheer me up I was growing mushrooms around me (AN: It's a joke in Japan that when you're depressed you "grow mushrooms in your closet").

"Don't worry," Amore said, putting her hand on my shoulder, "We'll get in there. All we need is money."

"And how are we going to get that?" I raised an eyebrow, "It's not like we can just make money appear out of thin air."

And then a bag filled with drachmas fell out of the sky. I'm not even kidding, it fell onto my lap. I opened it to see what was inside and saw the drachmas.

"Thanks Mom!" I said happily, getting up from my spot on the ground and turned to my friends, "Lets go!"

We marched right back into DOA Recording Studios and Amore pretty much forced Charon to take us to the Underworld. He took us down the elevator and sailed us across the River Styx. I was pretty much jumping in my seat with joy.

We would be done with this quest soon!

"Hey how are we going to get past Cerberus?" Lucia asked, breaking me out of my happy mood.

"She does have a point." Amore said, "How are we going to do it?"

I was going to reply when the boat bumped onto land, meaning that our ride was over.

"I hope you enjoy eternity here, little godlings." Charon chuckled mockingly, "And tell Hades that I need a raise! How else am I going to get my Italian suits without money?"

"Maybe by quitting and getting a better job?" I said, not noticing that what I said was stupid until Charon glared at me. Behind me I could hear both Lucia and Amore laughing at me.

"Well be going now." As the words came out of my mouth I turned away from the ferryman and grabbed Lucia's and Amore's arm and pulled them away from Charon.

"So... are we just going to wing it?" Lucia asked, pulling out her knives as her eyes darted from right to left.

"That won't be necessary." a voice said behind us. I turned around and saw Nico di Angelo, a son of Hades. I don't really know much about him besides the fact that he didn't really stick around camp a lot.

"Hi Nico!" Lucia waved at him with a big cheesy smile. She can make friends with even the most anti-social people in the world, Nico included, "Whatcha doin' here?"

"Lady Demeter visited me and..." he paused for a moment, probably trying to choose his next words wisely, "kindly ordered me to assist you three to the palace."

I never met my mother before, but from what my siblings told me I could imagine her doing that.

"Whatever," Amore said in an almost bored-like attitude, "I just want to get back to camp as soon as possible. Rose might be going through my stuff as we speak."

And so we continued on towards the palace, and on the way there Lucia screamed when she first saw Cerberus (and then started to play around with him, causing us five minutes of weirdness that we'll never get back), Amore getting hit on by a wondering spirit ("La réponse est non! Maintenant sortir de moi avant que je sauter la tête!" (1)), and just silence from Nico (which wouldn't be too bad if Lucia and Amore weren't talking our ears off).

It felt like years before we made it to the palace. We let ourselves in and Nico lead us to the thrown room where we saw the king and queen of the Underworld, Hades and Persephone.

Amore's POV

Andria walked in front of us and took the lead.

"Queen Persephone," she said as she knelt down to the ground, motioning for us to do the same, "I have a message from-"

"Mother, I already know." the washed-out woman said with annoyance, "She sent me many other messages before she sent you three."

"So you already know what she wants?" Andria asked, rising up from the ground, the rest of us following her lead (which I was grateful for. The floor was way to cold and I had a huge back ache from having so many hours without sleep).

"Yes, and I'm going to tell you the same thing I told the other messengers." she said slowly and calmly, "I'm not a child anymore. I don't have to leave if I don't want to leave."

I just shrugged at the queen and put my arm around Andria's shoulders, "We delivered the message. Now let's just go home."

"But-but Queen Persephone!" Andria stuttered, walking towards the two gods in front of us, "We were sent to-"

"Deliver her a message." Hades said, speaking for the first time, "Not to retrive her."

"But the world will be destroyed if you don't come back!" Andria shouted, my eyes widening at the word 'destroyed'.

No one told me about that.

"My mother needs to understand that I'm not a little girl!" her calmness was now replaced by rage.

"You're highness? Why don't you just talk to your mother?" I asked her. The faded queen looked away from Andria and glared at me, causing me to shrink back.

Who knew that the goddess of spring could be scary?

Lucia's POV

"And then what happened?" a small demigod child asked me.

Its been a day since we got back from the Underworld, and ever since Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood came back from their first quest its been tradition to tell the story of the quest that you were on around the campfire.

"For some reason Lord Hades actually agreed with Amore, and talked to his wife about it." I continued the story, "He sent us out of the Underworld safely and as we appeared outside of the entrance to the Underworld I fell on top of Drake-"

"Don't call me that you simpleton." the guy from across from me said.

"- Wait, give me a minute." I said to the crowd, pulling out my handy-dandy dictionary that I now carry around when Draco Khalid (the guy who insulted(?) me)

"Simpleton; A person who is felt to be deficient in judgment, good sense, or intelligence; a fool- Hey!" I glared over at the son of Athena and closed my book. As I glared at him he gave me an arrogant smirk and gave me a look that said 'I'm better than you'.

I stuck my tongue at him and kept on staring at him.

"Keep staring at me and I'll put you on fire." he said, and knowing Draco I knew that he would, so I continued on with my story.

"Anyways I fell on top of Draco and we fought for while, and then Victor pulled me off of him before I could bite his ear off." I said, glaring at my half-brother as I spoke.

Victor Leroux (also known as Vic or Vicky by me) is also a child of Nike like me, but we look nothing alike (what with me being a carrot top and him having a head full of dirty blonde hair) besides the fact that we both have grey eyes. And right now he's looking at me with a smug look.

"Vicky explained that Chiron sent him and Draco to retrieve us so that we wouldn't get distracted and like destroy Disneyland or something like that. And that's pretty much it. Nothing big." I said, ending my story. Everyone around the campfire stared at me in silence until Draco said,

"Well that story wasn't as atrocious as the one that you told last week about the time you got attacked by monkeys at the zoo."

"Are you saying that my story-telling is awful!"

"Did you know the definition of that word by yourself or did you look it up in your dictionary?"
