"It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged."

~Aldous Huxley~


Octavian McKenzie

Octavian didn't know why this guy was after him. He hadn't done anything wrong to him but that didn't seem to matter! As he ran through the dark and twisted woods, that has always surrounded his house (1), he heard the creepy laugh of the man trying to kill him. The boy made a quick left, which caused his long-sleeve blue dress shirt to rip on the arm.

As he ran away, the murder gained up on him and jumped. Octavian fell down with the mystery man on top of him. "Why are you doing this!" He screamed as the man flipped him on to his back.

"You are a Demigod and I have problems with Demigods!" The man's creepy voice said.

Octavian was actually scared! "Wait so you are killing me because I'm a Roman Demigod!"

"It's not because you are Roman. I've killed Greek Demigods too. Like Austin Copeland and Isaac Schuster. I've also killed Larry Dean, a Roman Demigod. Now descendant of Apollo, you are dead!" And with that, the man sliced his throat. He watched as Octavian's blood came gushing out and on to the forest floor. And once his body was completely drained out, the man in black craved Apollo's name into his chest and a bow and arrow over his heart. "You will not be the last! I won't quiet until HE is dead!" (2) And with that he pulled Octavian's dead, cold body on to a stretcher before pulling him towards his house.


Five days later, Annabeth was sitting at her table. For a year and half, Percy and she have lived together and they couldn't have been happier! She grabbed the news paper and flipped to the front page and began reading the feature story.

People are calling him the Myth Killer; he is killing people who love the Greek/Roman Mythology! Octavian McKenzie was brutally killed on Monday, September 3, 2012. Like the three other victims the Myth Killer has killed, his throat was sliced and some post-mortal cuts on his chest. The killer has so far changed the marking at least three times! How many people have to die before the police can catch this man!

Annabeth set down the paper and turned towards the door where Percy was walking from the bedroom that they share. "Percy, he killed again!"

"Who killed again?" He asked as he got him a bowl of cereal. (4)

She sighs before throwing the paper in front of him. "The Myth Killer! The guy who has killed Austin, Isaac, and Larry!"

"Who has he killed now? Another Demigod?" Percy asked as he sat down with his cereal.

Annabeth stood up and got her a bowl of cereal as well. "He killed Octavian McKenzie. I know you were never a big fan of the guy, but I feel bad for him."

"Wise Girl, I know I haven't liked him in the past but I don't believe that means he should have been killed! I think we should call Chiron. We need to know if he has heard from the others and then call Jason, Piper, Hazel, Leo, Frank, and Reyna. Maybe they could be helpful and make a plan with us." He told his girlfriend and she nodded her head yes.

After they were both done with breakfast and Percy had read the story in the paper, they Iris Message Chiron. "Hello Percy and Annabeth! How is living together?" Chiron asked his two favorite students.

"It has been great! But that isn't why we IMed you." Annabeth said with a concern look on her face. "Chiron, have you been reading the news paper?" Chiron sighed and nodded his head yes. "Do you have any idea who is doing the killings?"

Chiron looked concern before speaking, "I've asked all the campers here if they knew anything and they don't. The only reason why I've asked is because the killings started a few months before the summer holiday happened, and as you know not all campers are year-rounders." The young couple nodded their heads to what their past instructor was saying.

"Have you talked to the praetors of Camp Juniper?" Percy asked with concern of his second camp. "Two Romans have died along with two Greeks."

Chiron nodded his head and said, "Trust me, I asked as soon as the first Roman was killed. I never thought to ask after the first Greek died."

"Okay, what about former campers? Have you tried getting a hold of them? We know that Hazel, Frank, Leo, Reyna, Piper, and Jason are fine... What about the others?" Annabeth asked in concern about her friends and family.

Chiron sighed and looked down at the table he was sitting at. "I've heard from all former campers besides Connor, but Travis has talked to him a few weeks ago. He told me that Connor has traveled around the world, something he has always wanted to do. I'm going to try once again and if I hear from him, I'll tell you. Ever since Miranda and he broke up last year, you have barely been able to hear from him. He calls his brother and mom every so often, to let them know that he was okay, though."

"Please let us know if you actually speak with him. We're really worried about him... You never know who is going to be next..." Annabeth said with a worried face. "This is actually even worst than making sure monsters aren't following you!" Annabeth looked at her boyfriend and he wrapped his arms around her.

Chiron nodded his head and said goodbye before the young couple broke the connection. "Annabeth, let's call our friends." Percy said and with that, they started IMing.


Three hours later, Piper, Jason, Leo, Reyna, Hazel, and Frank were sitting in Percy and Annabeth's living room with them. "Guys, what should we do if this gets worst?" Hazel asked from Frank's side.

"Um... How about this, if this killer kills more than one person at a time, Reyna and I should call our sisters to see what they know... Because I'm sure they are both tracking him." Jason said as he played with one of Piper's braids.

Percy wrapped his arm around Annabeth and pulled her close. "Okay, that's a good idea! I just know that I really don't want anything to happen to your guys, especially you, Annabeth." Annabeth leaned over and kissed her boyfriend.

"I agree, Percy, I agree." Annabeth placed her head on his shoulder.

Reyna sat straight up in her seat and looked over at her boyfriend before saying, "Okay, we need a plan and fast!" And with that, the group of eight sat and started to come up with a very good plan.

A/N: Yay! The first chapter is done! I'm so glad too! At first I wasn't so sure about it and so I sent the first scene (where Octavian dies, because I wasn't sure of it) and my friend liked it a lot! And so after that I knew I was going in the right direction... If anyone has any questions, just message me or leave them in a review and I will try to answer them the best way I can! Also, actresses and actors: Octavian McKenzie- Ed Speleers; Annabeth Chase- Taylor Swift; Percy Jackson- Munro Chambers; Olivia Wood- she is me; Chiron- Pierce Brosnan; Piper McLean- Kelsey-Maree Eckstein; Jason Grace- Austin Butler; Leo Valdez- Tyler Posey; Reyna Gonzales- Mariah Buzolin; Hazel Levesque- Seychelle Gabriel; and finally Frank Zhang- Dylan O'Brien. The already dead actors: Austin Copeland- Chord Overstreet; Isaac Schuster- Jeffrey Davies; and finally Larry Dean- Daniel Radcliffe.

The numbers' reasoning...

(1) Yeah, I know the Romans live inside the came... But I was thinking that Octavian could own a summer house...

(2) I hope you all realize that this is a story about revenge!

(3) LOL, I know you guys don't know but my last name is Wood!

(4) Oh Seaweed Brain!
