A/N: Sorry we haven't updated in like ages! We've both been busy with side stories and one of us has been moving house.

Thanks for all the reviews!

lostgamer64: We saw Carter as a slightly more mature person, seeing as he's kinda like a pharaoh. And the kindergarteners look up to him, because he's a 'boss' you could say. And also, he was pretty hungry, so he decided to make himself spag bol.

reegreeg: Don't worry, there will be plenty of Percabeth to come.

AND THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO LOVED/ FAVORITED/ FOLLOWED!

We've had some trouble with this chapter, so sorry if its slightly bad.

AND JUST A QUICK NOTE: We've never been to Williamsburg bridge, so sorry if the description is really bad.

Disclaimer: We hate to say this but... we don't own Percy Jackson or Kane Chronicles. :(

CHAPTER 2: A PERFECTLY GOOD DANCE GETS INTERRUPTED- PERCY JACKSON

Apparently, I don't know how to get dressed.

The minute I walk out of my cabin in a tuxedo, Grover pushes me back in again.

"Grover! What are you doing?" I half yell.

"Percy. This is a beach dance. Not a formal dance."

I scoffed. "All I heard was dance. For all I know, it could've been a pyjama party."

Grover rolled his eyes. "Okay. I'll keep this simple. Lose the tuxedo. Keep the shirt. Wear some smart shorts. And, don't do your hair. It makes you look like a politician."

I quirked an eyebrow. "Since when have you been an expert on fashion?" Grover snorted at my comment,

"Since I saw you dress up in a tuxedo for a beach party! And... I might've been hanging around the Aphrodite cabin?"

"The Aphrodite cabin eh? What would Juniper think of that?"

Grover blushed. "Don't you dare tell Juniper. Or I'll... Um... I'll do something horrible! Now, just go get changed."

I hurriedly stuck on a pair of shorts, and messed up my hair. I walked outside to see an impressed looking satyr with his arms crossed.

"That's more like it. Now, come on we have a party to get to."

When we got to the beach, I felt a thousand eyes staring into my back. I felt like the Aphrodite girls had asked Grover to get me dressed up on purpose.

"Hey Seaweed Brain."

I turned around to see my girlfriend Annabeth, dressed up more than usual. She had no makeup on (which was totally normal), her hair was down in curls, she had a knee-length grey dress and she wore simple ballet flats. She wore grey owl earrings that I got her for her birthday last year, with the matching owl necklace. All I could do was stare in awe and say, "Woah."

Grover excused himself, and went to look for Juniper.

"Um... You look... stunning," I said. I was completely speechless for words.

Annabeth smiled. "You don't look so bad yourself Seaweed Brain."

"What can I say? I'm a natural... So Annabeth, do-"

I was cut off by someone screaming my name. "PERCY!" It was Jason.

"What?"

"Have you seen Piper? I mean, I asked her if she wanted to come to the dance with me, but she said maybe, but I don't know if that was a yes or a no, and now I'm really panicking and-"

"Jason," Annabeth interrupted, "You may wanna take a look behind you."

I looked over Jason's' shoulder and was Piper in all her Aphrodite glory. No, literally it seemed like her mom had given her another makeover.

Jason's eyes got wide. "Wow. Pipes. You're a knockout! Again."

Piper groaned. "I knew I shouldn't have asked my mom for help! Always putting too much of this and less of that! The thing is I didn't want to look too bad for you Jason, so I-"

Jason interrupted Piper by a passionate kiss. "It's okay Pipes. You're always beautiful. No matter what."

Piper smiled, took Jason's arm and the two walked away.

"So, Annabeth. Would you-"

"OW! Frank, stop stepping on my feet! Look, just sway to the beat. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four- OW! Frank!" Hazel and Frank danced over to us. That is, if you can call it dancing. It looked more like an elephant attempting to samba.

"Oh, Percy!" Hazel took a step away from Frank, a relieved look on her face. "I'm so glad you invited us here today! But next time, do you mind telling us a little earlier? Frank's dancing is non-existent.

"Hey!" Frank protested.

I sadly placed an arm on his shoulder. "Unfortunately Frank, everyone knows it's true. Even you. Somewhere deep down in your heart you know-"

"Ok, now seriously, stop." Hazel said, "I have a dance lesson to teach."

And Hazel and Frank danced off with a high amount of clumsiness.

"So Percy, what were you going to ask me?" Annabeth asked.

I cleared my throat. "Right. Um... Annabeth do you wanna-"

"PERCY! ANNABETH! You have got to see this!"

I groaned and looked to the source of the noise. Leo was covered in soot and oil.

"Leo, I'd love to see your crazy invention, but right now, we're kinda busy," Annabeth said, "Anyway, why aren't you dancing?"

Leo beamed as if this was his favourite thing to talk about. "Oh, the usual. No date, no dance! It's simple!"

I rolled my eyes. Every girl Leo talked to was 'out of his league'.

"Anyway, please look at my invention? You two out of all people will love it!"

I put my arm around Leo's shoulder. "Leo. This is Annabeth's and my first dance together after the war. And, we have a lot to catch up on," Leo's eyes saddened, "But, I promise we'll see your invention tomorrow."

Leo's face lit up. "Promise?"

Annabeth smiled. A thing that I love so much. "Yeah."

Suddenly, the bonfire shot up 50 feet into the air. Hazel and Frank came running up to us.

"What in the name of Hades was that?!" Frank yelled. He looked at Hazel. "Uh, no offence."

"No problemo. Anyway, what just happened?" We saw campers with their weapons out, and Piper and Jason seemed to be fighting some black dude.

One look at the others and we sprinted to our friends' aid. I hope this isn't one of Nico's tricks, I thought. Because if it was, he'd be dead. For being the fourth person to interrupt mine and Annabeth's catch up time. I quickly took out Riptide, and uncapped him. Annabeth drew her knife Frank took out his bow and arrow and Hazel had her spatha out.

The strange monster turned out to be a strange shadow who smiled as he saw us.

"Come," He urged us, "Come with me..."

I found it pretty strange that a monster tells us to follow him. Every part of my body told me no, but my brain seemed to be arguing. I was shaken out of my thoughts when Frank pushed me out of the way. I looked up to see the shadow with a spear. He then disappeared to the edge of the beach. We ran after him anyway.

"WHY DOES HE WANT US TO FOLLOW HIM?" Hazel yelled.

"NO IDEA!" Annabeth replied, "BUT WE HAVE FIND OUT WHERE HE'S TAKING US! IT MIGHT LEAD US TO-"

Annabeth cut off and started slowing down her pace. She may have stopped talking, but we all knew what she was going to say. Recently, one of our campers has gone missing. One minute she was out patrolling with her boyfriend, and the next they were attacked by something that they had never seen before. A monster that was neither Greek nor Roman. Then the monster grabbed our camper and disappeared. Chris Rodriguez, the missing camper's boyfriend, was going out of his mind with worry. And if you know our 'Camp Couples, then you'd already know who our missing camper is. But if not, we'll tell you. The one and only, daughter of Ares, Clarisse La Rue.

(LINE BREAK)

After what seemed like hours of running, the shadow finally came to a halt. After moments of catching our breath, I looked up at our surroundings. We were at the foot (not literally! We were on the sidewalk) of Williamsburg bridge. Annabeth seemed absolutely intrigued with the architecture (which isn't knew) and Frank seemed like he needed to pee. Which he probably did.

"Look!" Jason pointed to the middle of the bridge, where the shadow had reappeared, "Let's go get him!"

Jason and I charged, but we were pulled back by Annabeth.

"Yeah, smart plan! Just run across a bridge where thousands of people in cars will be driving so you'd get run over! We need a plan of strategy!"

We nodded our heads, knowing that Annabeth would always win an argument.

"Okay," Piper put in, "I'm getting stares from loads of people because I'm wearing too much makeup. So, can we hurry up?"

But no sooner than a second later, the sounds of people and busy traffic was unheard.

I looked around to see everything frozen.

"What just happened?" Hazel asked.

"I don't know," Annabeth forced out. She hated not knowing things. It was 'unsuitable' for a Daughter of Athena to not know things. "But let's pray it was Hecate."

"Who?" Hazel and Frank asked in unison.

"We Romans know her as Trivia," Jason replied, "The goddess who haunted graveyards and the goddess of witchcraft and sorcery."

"Right... Now are we gonna chase this monster or what?" Hazel asked.

"Yeah! Let's go!"

We ran to the middle of the bridge only to see three teenagers who looked totally unfrozen. I looked around for the Shadow man, but he seemed to have gone. A girl around fourteen held a staff. She had caramel hair with purple highlights and her eyes were blue. She wore combat boots and ripped jeans, which I found odd. But the two boys standing next to her were much darker. One of the guys was a 17 year old African-American dude who had coffee bean brown skin, black hair and he looked like an athlete. The other guy had brown hair and brown eyes and was really dark. He looked around 15.

"Um... Sadie... They're unfrozen."

"I can see that Walt. Now, let me try again!"

The girl said something that I couldn't make out. Then, a glowing image appeared. After the image disappeared, the girl frowned with disappointment.

"Ok. Either my staff isn't working, or you're-"

"Magicians," The dark boy said, "Are you magicians?"
