AJ

I was running through the darkness, narrowly avoiding a vast number of objects, "Do you really think you can hide from me?" I was cold and scared and running away from the evil and insane goddess of night, you're probably wondering who I am and how did I get Nyx angry at me, its best I start at the beginning.

My Name is Angel Jade Jones, to my friends AJ. Since about six months ago I've been looking for my best friend Audrey, who died. Why am I looking for a dead person? Because she's not dead, I can feel it and as the daughter of Hades I'm pretty good at knowing if someone is dead or not, yes my brother Nico watched her die, but that's not important, I just have this gut feeling and no, it's not because of Leo's tofu taco's. Anyways, back to the beginning.

So, I left my friends to fight Gaea and then I realized I had no clue what-so-ever about where Audrey might be, so I went where she always talked about going, Nevada, Her connection with Nevada? No clue, up until recently I knew very little about her past, what? It's not like you know everything about your friend's life.

I popped up in the middle of nowhere next to a 60's style diner and gas-station, I pulled open the hot rod red door,

"Hello?" I called "Is anyone in there?"

"Oh yes deary, I'm afraid I'm tied up at the moment." The voice sounded rough and metallic. I looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young woman, somewhere in her thirties with bleach blonde hair. The woman was tied up and gagged, she stared behind me and tried to say something, I turned around and saw what was talking, an Empousai, it was the ugliest thing I have ever seen and I've seen Hephaestus, so that's saying a lot. She had white skin and flaming hair, I mean literally on fire! So, I did the first thing that cam to mind, I ran and hid under the thing that had the most cover, in this case the check-out counter.

"Where are you dear? I'm getting hungrier by the minute? Why don't you come out where I can see you?" So, there I was, waiting for death or maybe a chance to lob the Empousai's head off, when a car smashed through the wall and smashed the Empousai to jelly. I looked at the car, A black Chevy Camaro with celestial bronze spikes on the front bumper. I only knew one person who drove a car like that.

"Thea! I had that!" The car door opened and out stepped Thea, she's taller than me, about 5'8 with black hair, green eyes and lots of freckles over her nose and cheeks.

She chuckled, "Is that the only way to greet your sister?" She reached out her arms to hug me, I reluctantly accepted. I don't like hugging my sister because every time I do I get a mouth full of feathers… Oh, I forgot to mention she has wings, big black ones, get's them from her dad, Thanatos. See, we only have the same mom, Katrina Jones, we inherited her green eyes, otherwise we have nothing in common.

"So, what brings you to Nevada?" She asked after we freed the woman.

"I'm looking for someone."

"In Nevada?"

"She always talked about coming here."

"Hmmm."

"Oh, and she's supposedly dead, So I could use your help."

She smiled, "Hop in." As we sat in the car I explained the last few months.

"That is interesting, what did you say your friends name was?"

"Audrina Noir." Thea gasped and stopped the car, my head whipped foreword and smashed the dashboard, my nose started bleeding.

"What in Hades was that about?

"Oh sorry….. A few months ago, on the Winter Solstice she snuck into Olympus and caused a HUGE blackout, When it faded Poseidon was gone, he wandered up a few weeks later with no memory of what had happened since we defeated Gaea."

"That doesn't sound like something she would've done."

"Well she did and a lot of the Olympians are not happy, although I expect her mother is part of it."

"Nyx? No, she hasn't been in contact with her since she left Audrey to die…. Unless… I need to get to camp."

"I'll go with you."

"I have no problem with that." Then we shadow-traveled away.

It was afternoon in Camp Half-Blood when we arrived.

"AJ?" Someone exclaimed, that someone was Piper McLean, she ran over to us.

"Oh my gosh! Where have you been? Why is your nose bleeding? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, where's Nico?" I asked.

"Probably in his cabin or with Will." So I went off to find Nico, Thea trailing behind me. First place I stopped was his cabin and sure enough, there he was, laying in his bed, reading.

"AJ!" He exclaimed, "Back already?"

"Nico, I've been gone for six months."

"Did you find anything?"

"Actually, I did." He sat up, now at full attention.

"What?"

"She isn't dead, something worse happened….. Nico, Audrey's gone bad!"

"No, she wouldn't!"

"She broke into Olympus and kidnapped Poseidon!"

"Where is she now?"

"Not a clue, that's why I came, I hoped maybe you had seen something, or Rachel had said something." Nico shook his head. "But we still could see Rachel, just in case!"

So we left to find Rachel. It didn't take very long, she was in the Poseidon cabin, talking to Percy.

"Rachel, can I talk to you quick?" I asked.

"Sure thing." We stepped out of Percy's cabin. Suddenly green smoke began to pour out of her mouth, her eyes became pure whit and she began to speak a prophecy.

"Three children of the Underworld,

And a descendant of the light,

Will face the queen of night,

One, a coward, who only knows to run,

Another wants only the sun,

But all must come together, in the end,

For what they love most, they must defend.
