I own Nothing, well except Rose as she is my self insert. everything else is owned by someone else.


Prologue:

A month ago Percy Jackson and the rest of Camp half-blood defended Mount Olympus in Manhattan from the Titan Kronos and won. As a gift for saving Olympus, Percy had the gods swear on the river Styx to claim every one of their demigod children. Thalia was the lieutenant of the hunters of Artemis for some time now. Rachel Elizabeth Dare has become the new Oracle of Delphi. Annabeth has been chosen to be the official architect of Olympus, and has been allowed to attend Goode High School, on East 81st, to keep an eye on construction and be closer to her boyfriend Percy Jackson. As for claimings, new demigods pour in daily. Life went on in a calm routine and all was well.


Rose POV

I opened my locker on the second Monday of the new school year at Goode High School. As the first week of sophomore year goes, mine wasn't so bad, my best friend Diana is in most of my classes. I also have Greek class, which is a lot of fun for me, since my Dad loved anything Greek, he even spoke a bit of it. My father, Timothy Ryans, was an architect, he said that was what caught my mom's attention. He loved her so much and yet I never met her, but he told me how beautiful and strong she was, and how I have her grey eyes and his red hair. I miss him so much since he died two years ago in a construction accident. I think of all the fun we had, as I stare at the picture I have in my locker of us at the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, which he told me was where they met. He left me with a step mother that isn't that bad, I mean she is nice; especially when she kills any spider that gets too close to me and has helped me with that phobia, but I swear they target me and come after me, its weird. She tried to give me a makeover since she owned a salon in downtown Manhattan,and wanted to 'enhance the natural beauty I already aquired', which we resolved with a rebellious attire; quality combat boots, dark wash ripped jeans, and old band t-shirts like Guns and Roses, Beatles, etc. but an occasional plain t-shirt and hoodie, I enjoy looking badass.

"Rosie!" I turned to see Diana running down the hall to meet me at my locker.

"Hey Diana. What's up?" I asked.

"Oh not much, I'm just enjoying all the boys that have been drooling over us for the past week." She seemed happy about that, as I roll my eyes.

"Well I don't, they're nasty imbecilic hormonal pigs." I retorted. I understand why they drool over her, Diana is funny, athletic, and gorgeous with her blonde hair, blue eyes and sun kissed olive skin, she is drool worthy, she especially looks great in her country get-up including boots, flannel and denim shorts. We had this same debate a dozen times before about why guys would like me. Her platform for me is that I 'wear a cloak of mystery and rarity with my apparel and my grey eye/red hair combo' her words, as well as my 'lone-wolf attitude' also her words, since I have rejected and harmed every boy that tried to hit on me so far this year. The fact is I truly don't care for guys, meaning I would be caught dead before I even think about dating a guy. Even if I did consider dating, I wouldn't pick any of the guys at this school since just about all of them are immature, and only a certain few guys at this school keep their drool in their mouths in my presence and they are currently dating someone else. And no I am not a lesbian, if anyone thinks or presume that, they would get a pounding so bad they would wish that they were in a coma instead.

"I'm amazed that so many of them are brave enough to drool after I sent a bunch of their buddies to the nurse's office." I gave a death glare to a group of guys that formed a puddle of drool after three minutes of staring at us. Oh if looks could kill I would be a very happy girl.

"Well I think they're adorable." Diana blew a kiss in their direction, "beside we are spankin' hot for sophomores, I swear I saw a jealous senior chic last week after she saw her boyfriend drooling as I passed by." Diana giggled, I guess she was thinking about how many guys I beaten up in the last week.

"How many guys did you beat up last week?" She asked, and I had to think for a sec.

"I think six guys, of that, three repeats, of all those attempts there was four black eyes, two bloody noses, a broken nose, a broken wrist and a punch to the gut, in total 14 detentions. I'm surprised I haven't been suspended yet."

"Its funny, we are complete opposites, I enjoy boys while you basically despise them" she commented.

"So why are we friends again?"

"'Cause I am the only girl that isn't afraid or envious of you."

"Good point." She giggled.

"Well I got to head to English so Mr. Blofis doesn't yell at me again for being late." Just as she was turning the corner some guy came walking up to me.

"Well, well, if it isn't the girl prettier than her namesake." I recognized it to be John Bradfield, a junior, also now a repeat flirter.

"What do you want John? I need to get to class, because unlike you, I have a future."

"I want to go on a date with you, is that too much to ask?" he put his hand on my waist and I just sighed, he just asked for it.

"Yes, it is too much to ask, especially from an idiot like you." I grabbed his wrist, twisted it so he did a 360 turn and moved back a foot and I punched him in the nose, causing it to bleed.

"ow" he yelped.

"wimp," I said as he ran off. "and make that three bloody noses." I muttered as I looked up and down the hallway for signs of boys who want to try at what John just sadly attempted at. All I saw was Diana standing at the corner trying hard not to laugh, the puddle of drool abandoned, and Percy Jackson and his girlfriend Annabeth Chase staring at me from down the hall. I only know of them because they are in a few of my classes and from what I heard around school. If you ask me, they know a big secret, because at orientation I saw some chaos in the band room that involved a cheerleader turning into fire, and Percy with a weird sword, I didn't say anything though because the last time something like that happened and I told someone about it, they looked at me like I was crazy. Entering high school I did not want to be labeled as a nut case. So now I returned their stare and went on my way to Greek class.

Annabeth's POV

"Thalia would seriously love that girl." I told Percy after we witnessed a bloody nose and possibly another broken wrist dished out by Rose Ryans to a sleaze bag for flirting with her.

"No argument there," Percy replied, holding my hand, "Come on, we better get to Greek class quick."

Percy and I followed Rose to Greek class since we have that together, Percy and I share most of our classes with her like Lunch, Math, Gym, English with Paul, I mean Mr. Blofis. I also have Architecture with her while Percy has Marine Biology. We finally caught up with Rose before we entered the classroom.

"Hey Rose, nice shot earlier." Percy said with a smirk, I elbowed him in the rib cage, since he has the curse of Achilles I knew it didn't hurt him, I just wanted to make a point. We kept walking but she had a look that said she wanted to ask us something.

"Hey, hold up guys." Rose called out to me and Percy. We stopped and turned. "I had a question, how do you guys know so much about Greek Mythology and the Greek language? I mean you two are the best in the class, heck, you practically teach it." she said

"Oh, at this summer camp we go to Greek Mythology is one of the main focuses." I replied.

"That sounds so cool."

"You know you're not that bad in this class either." Percy commented.

"Yeah, I kinda grew up with it." she said shyly

"How about we get in there before she gives us detention for being late?" I added

"Oh please, I already have like close to a month's detention, one more won't be a big difference" We laughed at her comment.

We kept up a fun conversation with Rose for the rest of the day. We talked about camp and we learned a lot about her. In English class Mr. Blofis had Greek print textbooks for me and Percy, but Rose took one as well because from what we learned about her, reading Greek made her feel close to her late father. She also told us about her trip to Greece. I felt a pang of envy at that but let it slide. But the rest of the day was light and happy. She even introduced us to her friend Diana during Gym.

Walking to Percy's apartment after school we were quiet. I was knitting my eyebrows, being deep in thought. I snapped out of it hearing Percy laugh at my expression.

"What ya thinking about, Wise Girl?" He asked while swinging our joined hands.

"Just connecting some dots." I replied.

"About what?"

"About Rose! I mean she's afraid of spiders, the grey eyes, the ADHD, loves architecture, reads greek, her dyslexia, her missing mom, the parthenon; it all makes sense!"

"Of course it does, and that is?"

"You really are a seaweed brain."

"Yeah, but I'm your seaweed brain." I rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, she is obviously a demigod and possibly a daughter of Athena."

"Interesting theory."

"I'm right and you know it!"

"Probably, but the way she throws a punch, I would think she was a daughter of Ares."

"Maybe, but she seems a little too nice to be a daughter of Ares; and you don't think an Athenian kid can pack a punch?"

"I didn't say that, please don't hurt me." He has the right to be scared because I know where his weak spot is.

"Then say that I'm right, and you know I always win."

"Fine, when you can prove that she is a demigod and specifically a daughter of Athena then you can say 'I told you so seaweed brain'" he said, trying to imitate me.

"I will hold that to you." He laughed.

"Come on I can smell my mom's blue chocolate chip cookies from down here!" We ran up the stairs, but it was more like Percy dragged me up the stairs to the apartment, both of us laughing now.

Rose POV

I really had fun yesterday at school hanging with Percy and Annabeth. Even though I only really spent a day with them I could tell we could be great friends, given time maybe a sibling-like bond, of course I don't have siblings but I know Percy would be big brother like and help me punch an annoying guy into next week. Annabeth would be helpful with schoolwork. They seem like bigger siblings even though they are the same age as me, they just seem to act older like they have seen things that shouldn't be seen by people so young.

So today I decided to wear a simple grey t-shirt with my dark wash denim jacket with ripped black jeans and combat boots. The final touch, my sterling silver owl necklace, one of my most prized possessions as it was a gift from my dad. I decided to wear it since I may not be back for a while, I don't know why but I have a knack for knowing when something was going to happen like at orientation, when that happens I sometimes hear the voice of a caring woman answering in my head. Be prepared, you will not be coming back. she said this morning, and she was never proven wrong so I do as she says, so on that note I packed everything special to me, extra clothes, my little stuffed toy grey owl, and my overnight bag (girl stuff, toothbrush, stuff like that) into my book bag.

"Bye Tina, I'm off to school." I called out to my step-mother while grabbing my lunch that consisted of a peanut butter, honey and banana sandwich, a strawberry smoothie, an apple and carrots, and piece of toast for breakfast from the kitchen. Tina was in the living room, her dyed blonde pixie-cut hair in a bedhead look and bobby pins sticking out of her mouth, since she owns a salon (hair, makeup, nails the whole deal), she has a giant collection of those weird mannequin heads to test new hairstyles on, nail polish and makeup covering the coffee table. She seriously needed friends that weren't her clients or interns (Diana worked there as an intern, which was how we met).

"Okay bye, please behave, I don't want to get another call from the school about you punching some guys lights out." Thats all I get before she returned to a semi-styled head, I met up with Diana on they way to school. The school day goes on, gladly no boys have bothered me yet but something always happened in gym everyday, Diana fighting with her daily boyfriend, someone trying to hit on me, someone tried to hit on Annabeth and Percy pummeled them to a pulp (okay that was yesterday, I was laughing so hard and Annabeth was trying hard not to) so why should today be any different.

In gym, the coaches had the class running the mile on the track, me, Annabeth and Percy finished first so we decided to hang out under the bleachers by the woods, everyone else hung out on the bleachers so it was quiet underneath which was nice. They were telling me about some of the pranks that occurred at camp and we were laughing, silently I was wishing I could go there.

You will sooner than you think. That voice again, she never talked twice in one day, weird. No sooner than I thought that the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and a shiver went down my spine.

"Um, guys." I said to Percy and Annabeth, they were already aware and almost in a fighting stance waiting for whatever it was to come at them. Percy was going to his shorts that had no pockets and cursed himself, am I crazy or did he just curse in Ancient Greek? At that moment a giant dog bombarded out of the woods in a happy mood, while I was frozen in fear, they relaxed a bit.

"Holy Styx, Mrs. O'Leary, why in Hades are you here? You should be back at camp." Percy asked the giant dog while being licked by said creature. Still frozen in fear, Percy finally realizes that I am still here.

"Um, what exactly do you see right now?" he asked me nervously, finally I am unfrozen.

"Just a giant black dog the size of a HUMMER!" I said while thinking I was going nuts, first the voices and now illusions.

"Yeah this is my hellhound, Mrs. O'Leary; Mrs. O'Leary this is Rose." Mrs. O'Leary walked over to me, sniffed, then licked me, covering me in dog drool.

"Oh man! Tina is gonna hate... Wait HELLHOUND!? Like from hell? and Greek Myths?"

"Percy, now do you think she is a demigod?" Annabeth asked Percy, putting her hands on her hips. I almost forgot she was here, oh right because of the giant HELLHOUND!

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked, finally my brain is working again since it stopped when Mrs.O'Leary appeared. Then I heard the coaches blow their whistles and she barked. I found it funny when we all shushed her at the same time.

"Okay heres the plan. Percy you call Blackjack for a ride for three, we all go inside and get changed and get our stuff. Since we have lunch next, we can sneak back out here and head to camp. And Mrs. O'Leary you can stay here until we get back, Okay?" Annabeth addressed us, now she is looking at me worried that I would explode from the craziness of the past few minutes.

"Sounds like a plan," I assured her. "Besides I had a feeling something like this would happen so I am ready for wherever you guys are taking me, and someone did warn me," Percy was giving me a weird look. "I'll explain later, so can you about what the heck you just sucked me into."

So the hellhound stayed behind the bleachers while we went back inside to get our stuff and I had to additionally dry off the dog drool, wherever we were going I hope it had showers. I wonder how we were getting there, and who was Blackjack? So I ran out the back of the locker rooms to the bleachers, I didn't even say goodbye to Diana, I was gonna miss her. So when I got behind the bleachers I saw Percy and Annabeth standing there waiting. Then something came diving from the sky I backed up a bit, a beautiful black horse with wings and another one like him, but white. Wait, I remember now, those would be pegasi, cool.

Percy POV

Blackjack and Guido came in almost record time.

Yo, boss! Blackjack said. You called for a ride?

"I told you to not call me 'Boss' and yes, and this is Rose, Rose this is Blackjack and Guido." I introduced them, Rose seemed to take all of this well because when she saw the pegasi she said "Okay this is way cooler than the hellhound." Meanwhile, Mrs. O'Leary was chewing on some of those football pushing dummies, that will be fun to explain. Rose went into her lunch bag and offered up her apple and carrots to the pegasi and split her sandwich with me and Annabeth.

I like this girl. Blackjack said.

Me too. Guido said.

"Of course you would." I told them while rolling my eyes.

"Excuse me?" Rose asked.

"Oh I can talk to horses, since my dad created them they see me as their boss or lord." I answered.

"So your dad is Poseidon? God of the seas."

"Yep, see I told you that you were smart." she blushed a little, and Annabeth punched me in the arm for what she may have seen as flirting. Sure Rose is pretty, but Annabeth is awesome and gorgeous, why would I leave her?

"Well, we better get going, trust me you are gonna love it there." I was about to say more but I heard someone calling for Rose.

"Rose! Hey, I have been looking for you. I got worried after you ran out of the locker room and didn't show up in lunch... HOLY CRUD! That is a big dog! And are those pegasi?" Diana rambled off.

"Not another one!" Annabeth moaned, tossing her head back.

"Excuse me?" Diana asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Whatever, lets just get to camp. Diana right? Come on." I intervened. Rose took Diana's wrist and both of them got on Guido, while Annabeth and I rode Blackjack. I sent Mrs. O'Leary back to camp as well.

Can I get donuts on the way boss?

"No Blackjack, besides you just got part of an apple and carrots, that should be enough until we get to camp." So we flew off to Camp HalfBlood with two unclaimed demigods while one of them was kinda freaking out.
