A/N: SOOOO, I decided to make a new fanfic, but this one is one Percy Jackson! R&R If you like!
Prologue - Surprise
Em fingered the picture, yellow and fading from all the times she had touched it. It was a picture of she and her father, and her mother, a woman she had never known, until now. It all started when the monsters attacked, those hideous looking creatures she wished she had never seen. Her father apparently knew this was to come, and had scooped her up along with her packed bags that were supposed to be for a trip to Italy.
Em shook her head, wanting to keep the memories that haunted her at bay, but they kept popping into her mind, and she couldn't make them stop. She remembered her father talking so fast as he was driving, she almost couldn't understand him. All she caught was that she was a daughter of a minor goddess, the goddess of knitting and sewing. Well, if there was a giant monster chasing their car, many things that had not seemed possible to her, now were seen in a different light.
Her father's car stopped at a hill with a large tree atop it.
"RUN PAST THE TREE, NOW!" he had screamed.
Her father then brandished a gun, something she had never known him to have and began to shoot the monster, but the bullets literally bounced off its hard green scales. Em had had enough. Scared for her life, she ran past the tree. The last thing she remembered was a big camp spread before her, that she hadn't realized had been there earlier, before everything went black.
Em was woken up from her dream of memories by a knock on the door, and dropped the knitting needle that she didn't know she had been clutching tightly.
