Sorry I haven't updated, I didn't have access to my laptop...Well, here's a new chapter, and it's not going so fast like the first one!! Oh and, I'm changed the story to two years after The Last Olympian. And Arlene is Fourteen, not thirteen.

Well, I decided to add a character from the series to this story. As a main character. You'll see when you see his name. And, sorry about the curse here...

Chapter 2

Just my freaking luck. A monster. And a huge one at that. Nearly thirty to forty feet, no doubt it was a giant. But, it was a dark reddish color. I've never seen anything like it. It roared and I remembered I'm suppose to run from this thing. I spun on my heels and run the opposite way, as fast as I could.

As a child of Kronos, what's my power? Can I control time? Can I travel through time? I stopped running and decided I should at least try. When the giant neared, I started getting nervous. Maybe this is a bad idea, since this is my first time using any type of power. I raised my arm up and help it in a stop motion.

Nothing happened. I was really starting to panic now. I tried again, concentrating more, but still nothing happened. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Maybe I'm-

"ROOOOOOOOAR!" The giant yells.

It's hand hit me and I went flying through the air. I fell though a large tree. Branches broke as I landed on them and leaves tickled my face. I landed on the ground hard and coughed. The rain washed any blood from the cuts I now have on my face. I didn't even have time to notice I was in pain because the giant came at me waving around a large stick. Wait, no. A large tree. I winced as it lowered it to hit me, but felt nothing.

I gasped when I noticed the rain slowed unnaturally. The monster looked like it was slowed 5 times and was moving inch-by-inch. I scrambled and moved out of harms way. Instantly, everything went back to it's normal speed.

The giant looked confused when it saw I wasn't there. I slowly turned and walked away slowly, trying not to make any noise. I stepped on a branch that cracked, and the giant turned towards me. It roared and raised the tree over it's head. It brought it down and I was sure slowing down time wasn't going to save me this time.

But, I didn't die. I did get hurt though. Something had pushed me, and I went flying to the side and my back hit a tree...and I was pretty sure my hand hit it, too. I blinked and looked around, dazed. My eye-sight was fuzzy and it slowly stopped raining. I heard something like an explosion and large winds.

I knew I was immortal, but that didn't save me from passing out.

|Time Lapse|

I woke up when I felt something against my head. I leaned up a wet towel from form my head. I looked around and noticed I wasn't outside. I was in the infirmary. Of Camp Half-blood. Anger surged inside me. I got, felt a little woozy, and sat back down.

"I suggest you rest." I heard a voice say.

I noticed the person's voice was deep and boy-ish. I looked at the person, yes, it was a guy. I've seen him around camp, though I doubt he's ever seen me. He has shaggy black long-ish hair, olive skin, and black eyes, he was wearing all black. He was fingering a skull black ring. The famous Nico di Angelo.

"Nico di Angelo." I breathed.

"Strange, I don't know your name." He said, he sounded cold towards me. Hatred clearly in his voice.

I frowned. "I'm Arlene." I said.

"What a pleasure to meet you." He said, sarcasm dripping off his words. Not literally, of course.

What he said made me angry. I'm use to people not noticing me, but what he said angered me. I don't like being reminded that people don't like talking to me.

I turned to him and clenched my fist. He looked looked like he was in agony. He seemed to want to push himself off the wall. I gasped unclenched my fist. He doubled over, a took sharp breaths.

"I-I'm so sorry!" I said, I didn't really plan on hurting him.

"What happened?" A girl's voice said from the door.

I looked at the door. The girl was about my height, maybe my age, she had brown hair and blue eyes.

"This freak did something to me!" Nico said and straightened up.

I got angry again. I clenched my fist and he froze, but his eyes had pain in them. "Stop fighting!" The girl said.

I unclenched my fist and he took a deep breath and glared at me. The girl turned to me. "I'm Presley, you're Arlene, right?" she asked. I nodded. "Well, Nico and I are suppose to guide and protect you, by Chiron's orders." she explained.

"Protect me from what? I'm freaking immortal!" I yelled.

They blinked in surprise. Presley shook her head. "Some gods are out to get you, since you're Krono's daughter. You can't die, but you can be tortured for your entire life." she said.

"Let her be tortured. I wouldn't give a-" he stopped when he saw the look Presley gave him.

Presley sighed. I had a feeling I was becoming a burden to everyone. I thought Nico would be cool, but he's the opposite. And I bet I'm just giving Presley headaches. I can't be here, causing everyone's worries and such.

I took a deep breath and concentrated on the time. I concentrated on time slowing down, so it's like they weren't even moving. I could feel energy being drained from me. I hurriedly grabbed my bag and stuffed necessities in it. This is really hard, considering my energy was running low and I had to concentrate on slowing down time. I ran out the door once time went to it's normal state.

I heard Presley and Nico yell, "Where'd she go?!"

I sprinted to Half-blood hill. I didn't take any notice of campers backing away from me. I glanced back enough only to see Presley and Nico running after me, but they were really behind.

"Dammit" I muttered and ran as fast as my slim legs could go.

Running through a field in Long Island isn't exactly, what's the word...oh, right. Fun. I was already sweating and felt incredibly hot. Presley and Nico were closing in on me.

The thought of Nico made me go faster. Something about him...it just made me angry. Like, I just feel a resentment towards him. Just like he feels a resentment towards me. Whenever I thought of him, it just made me insanely angry. Maybe because of his hurtful comments..?

I saw a car on the field. What a stroke of luck! I sprinted towards the car and jumped in. No one was in the car, and the keys were in the ignition. Someone loves me. I slammed the door shut and hit the accelerate pad-thing.

Maybe I should throw in the fact that I can't drive! So, naturally, I was pushing the break too much and kept stopping. I cursed silently and just completely let go of the break. Bad move. I was going way too fast for my liking. The sky suddenly turned gray and it started raining hard.

"Just. My. Fucking. Luck!" I screamed, hitting the wheel with every word.

That's when I felt all tingly. Something bad is going to happen. The car, lightning, Zeus hates me. And the break on the car didn't work now! I did something a mortal would have done, I screamed and thrashed and tried opening the door. But it was stuck.

"Are you so freaking real?! I'm freaking immortal for goodness sakes! I can't die! Is this how you're going to torture me?!" I screamed, sending my hates towards the gods.

I tried controlling the wheel so the car wouldn't hit a tree. At the same time, I brought my leg up and kick the window off. I let go of the wheel and jumped out the car, just before it exploded. I covered my head for..well, cover. Car parts fell from everywhere, a few hitting me. When the falling of car parts stopped I stood up.

There was fire in random spots, long grass was burned off the ground, and the storm just made everything worse. I looked around for Nico and Presley.

"This is why we can't leave you alone!" A voice yelled behind me.

Somehow, Presley and Nico had appeared behind me. I yelped and backed up a few feet. "How did you-"

"Shadow traveling." Nico interrupted me, I heard him mutter idiot, but just glared at him.

"What don't you get this is what were trying to protect you from?! Just because you're immortal doesn't mean you can't die! It just means you'll be the same age forever and won't die of old age! The gods can still kill you!" Presley yelled over the rain.

Oh. Well I feel completely stupid. I opened my mouth to say something, but something happened. I was grabbed by the arm and pulled up into the air. I screamed, but someone put their hand over my mouth. I looked down at the ground where Nico and Presley were trying to do something. The hand squeezed against my mouth real tight. Someone out a cloth bag on my head and threw me over what I assumed was a Pegasus. Someone tied my hands and feet, so I was defenseless.

I stopped thrashing after a while, I was obviously not winning this. But, suddenly, I realized that I could die. So I started thrashing. But then something came upon my head, hard. Blood trickled down my neck and my eyes closed.

How was that???????????????????????????

I hope it was good, tell me what you think!!

REVIEW PLEASE!!
