Hello, everybody! And welcome to my story, Centuries! (And yes, it's named after the song by Fall Out Boy). It is a remake of my old story, "Worst of Both Worlds". I decided that since Blood of Olympus just came out (I haven't finished it yet so don't spoil anything for me!), my old story would become irrelevant plot wise so I'm going with a new plot and it'll be awesome! X3 Now, I've had this idea of mixing the world of Percy Jackson and the Kane Chronicles ever sine The Red Pyramid came out back in 2010. And it's gonna be awesome. With that said, let's get this started!

*The only characters I own in this story are Zelda Ivory, her mom, her dog (Shadow), and a handful of OCs. The rest belongs to the great mind of Rick Riordan.


It all started at an Avenged Sevenfold concert…


Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band. You have no idea how happy I was when my mom said I could go. But…the concert was in Texas. She was a bit iffy of me going to Texas, since the Fifty-First Nome was there. It got blown up or something…I don't know. I was just happy I was going to a concert, okay? Also, Three Days Grace and Bullet For my Valentine was there! All they needed was Black Veil Brides and I'd be one happy lady! There was no way I was going to miss it, even though it was about two states away. Took a plane and got to my hotel just like that and now, I'm head banging to "Sidewinder". When I get back to St. Louis, I'm totally giving Mom a bear hug. But little did I know, that my joy would get killed off…

As I was escaping the total chaos (I'm not allowed to use that word around my mom, says it brings bad luck), I bumped into someone. "Oh, man, sorry bro…" I mumbled. Heck, I've been doing that all night long but something felt very familiar about him. Like I met him a long, long time ago. He looked at me with his charcoal black eyes and they widened. Did he think he knew me too? I was just about to ask him but he kept on his way. I glanced over my shoulder, watching him leave. All of the sudden, I saw him flicker. FLICKER. Like a freaking hologram in those science fiction shows. It from typical punk rocker, heavy metal dude to a man in a black toga then back again. I rubbed my eyes and blinked in bewilderment towards his direction. He disappeared through the crowd as fast as he appeared. Maybe I've been up for too long…oh, yeah, I'm totally going with that. I dragged my feet to the hotel (which was total hell getting into since my parent wasn't along with me…) and plopped onto my bed. As soon my head hit the mattress, I was out like a light.

…Man, I'd take the body of a chicken any day. I had that nightmare again. Dead bodies everywhere, they reminded me of the Romans and Greeks in mythology by their armor. And that wasn't the scariest part. There was this...gigantic lady that looked like she was sleeping was coming out of the ground like a daisy and around her poured out a crap load of demons that were unknown to my knowledge along with what looked like blood. But it wasn't just red blood. It was also a gold color. I have no idea what this dream means but this is the fifth night in a row and it's about to drive me nuts.

I got out of bed and fixed my nest for hair and put on fresh clothes. Ugh…back to linen clothing. I swear I'm allergic to this stuff! I get some kind of rash every time I wear it! But at least my mom was kind enough to customize it for me. I packed my stuff, checked out of the hotel, and grabbed a taxi to the airport. This is now when stuff started to go down. I didn't really paid attention to it first, but as I ran through the airport to catch my flight back to St. Louis, I almost literally ran over a cluster of preps. To the hurried eye, they just looked like the girl you'd see in Starbucks with the tight yoga pants and those fur boot thingy-ma-bobs. But as I was on the plane, I started to realize that those preps…they had some freaky looking eyes. Like they from the Underworld freaky. I shook my head and went back to my magazine. I just want to go home where all this freaky stuff isn't there.

And when I got there, my mom gave me a tight hug, "Sweetie! There you are! I was starting to worry that something bad happened at Texas!"

I looked at the stove's clock and huffed, "Mom, I'm only thirty minutes late…"

"But your safe now…and what did you do to your hair?!" she rubbed one of my red streaks. "Zelda Fadiyah Ivory, you know better than use red!" You're probably wondering why my name is Zelda…my mom's a big Legend of Zelda nerd. 'Nuff said.

"Oh my gods…Mom! It's only a color! Just chill for a second, okay? I'm not in the mood for ranting…" I dropped my pack next to the table. I clicked my tongue and patted my leg, waiting for our dog to come see me. But he didn't come. "Where's Shadow?" Shadow's my best friend, literally. We think he's a Doberman/Rottweiler mix. He's the only thing I got that connects me to my mysterious, good-for-nothing, abandoning father.

"He's in your room." My mom answered. "He's been acting weird ever since you left."

"Weird? Define weird, Mom. Because there's a lot of stuff in this family that a lot of people would consider weird." Trust me, I'm like the real Harry Potter…yer a wizard, Zelda! That is literally how it went down when I found out I was…a wizard. Egyptian magician (That is really hard to say…I'm off track again! Stupid ADHD…), to be exact. There was this one time I tried a spell…it backfired and turned my mom's hair blue. It was pretty hilarious.

"I'm sure he's fine, honey." My mom assured me. "He probably just missed you."

I bobbed my head from side to side. "That sounds…understandable." I turned on my heel to head to my room. "He's in my room, right?"

Mom nodded. "Yes. He's on your bed, cuddling with your Stitch doll."

"Not Stitch!" I exclaimed. "He's my favorite stuffed animal! He's probably chewed and slobbered it to death by now…" I picked up my backpack and dragged my feet to my room at the end of the hall and, just like my mother said, he's asleep with my Stitch doll between his paws. I crept into the room and with a growling yell, I jumped onto the bed. Shadow jumped at my landing and barked happily at me. He pinned me down and licked my face like there was no tomorrow. "Ew, stop it! I missed you to, buddy." I pushed him off and rubbed his ears. I looked into is eyes when I asked, "What's going on, buddy? Mom says you've been acting weird…"

He just barked for an answer.

I rolled my eyes and started to head back out of my room but I ran into my mom. She was blocking my way. I slowly noticed that she looked scared. "Um…excuse me, Mom…"

"No."

I raised a pierced eyebrow. "I beg your pardon?"

"Zelda, grab all that you can, okay?"

"Why…?"

"Just do it, please!" My mom begged me. "Make sure that it's something that you can carry for a long time, okay?" She shut my door in my face. Her voice came through to say, "Don't come out until I tell you to, okay?"

"Mom? What's going—?"

"Just go it!"

"Okay! Okay! Jeesh!" I went back to grab my pack and digged through it to see what things I could toss out. Once that was done, I grabbed my jewelry box that held all my charms and, well, gages and hoop rings. I mumbled under my breath as a threw clothes into another bag. I glanced to my music collection (All Time Low, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Black Veil Brides, Theory of a Deadman, Red Jump Suit Apparatus, Rise Against…stuff like that) and I sighed. I took my gym back and stuffed all of the CDs I owned into it. I set my iPod and CD player (as well the batteries and charger that had to be with them) inside it and hung my black Beats around my neck. I plugged into the iPod and put on my jacket before I put on my bags. Right before I put my hand on the handle of my door, I looked over my shoulder to the red velvet case that laid on my headboard. I went over to the case and opened it. Another thing that my father left behind was this black-bladed knife that had a red ball on the handle's end. I sighed and placed the case into my jacket's pocket and returned to the door.

I heard a scream then a thud. My eyes widened and my hand grabbed the handle, I twisted it and the door burst open. I ran out of my room with Shadow close behind me. When I entered the living room at the end of the hall, my heart skipped a beat and my jaw dropped.

It was this…human…bird…thing. I had no idea what this thing was! Shadow then started to bark at it. It spun around and its eyes gleamed when it saw me. "Demigod!"

"Wait, what?"

My mom suddenly whacked it on the back of the head with a vase. The bird-human creature cringed at the hit and…THUD! Face-plant! Mom looked at me and yelled, "I told you to stay in your room until I said so!"

"I heard a scream! I couldn't help it…"

"Zelda, you need to get to New York—"

"New York?!" I repeated. "Why?!"

"For once in your life, just listen to me!" Mom growled. I quieted down. She sighed deeply and said, "Go to New York. It's safe there."

"What's in New York?!"

"Zelda…"

"Are you coming with me?"

My mom shook her head sadly. "No. I am not a loud to set foot on either side of the river."

My head cocked to the side at the last part. "Come again…?"

The bird thing started to rise up from the ground. My mom summoned her wand and drew hieroglyphics in the air above it in grey. The bird froze up and stayed put. "Zelda, go!"

"But Mom—!"

"GO!" She yelled.

I looked at her for a short time and painfully nodded. I ran to the front door and hooked Shadow's leash to his collar before I ran outside. When the door slammed behind me, I heard my mom scream bloody murder: "RUN ZELDA! RUN AND NEVER LOOK BACK! I LOVE—" There was a splat noise.

Air caught in my throat and stood before the door with my hand covering my mouth and tears coming down my face. Shadow tugged me forward, out of trance of fear, and we ran. We ran like there was no tomorrow.
