Hi, I'm back. I've been pretty aware that I have to spell check everything so don't worry, I'll try not to make so many grammar mistakes.

I don't own Percy Jackson. Only Jamie which she isn't happy with.


I didn't sleep well that night. I mean, not because of the argument that broke out between Phoebe and Annabeth but because of my dream. I stayed up the longest, reading a random book about the Greek Mythology. My eyes drooped down and I could hear the delighted laughing outside in the campfire. Percy had asked me if I wanted to go but I declined mostly because of Annabeth. She and my cousin Sasha would have gotten along great. Except that Sasha had, like, zero brain cells and went on after any boy with legs and hair on his head.

Eventually, I did fall asleep and felt a weird sensation. Have you ever felt like you were being pulled away from your body? That was exactly how I felt. A strange sensation like going threw a tunnel with dark lights all around you. It was like I was being pulled away from my body. I had! When I looked down, I saw myself still wearing my camp T-shirt and my hair sprawling all over, hands clawed. That was all I managed to see because just then a jerk forced me back. Colors swirled past my eyes and I raised a hand to block light from my eyes. Strangely, my hands were immobilized, pinned down at my side.

Then everything was gone. When I looked up, I was in an unfamiliar room with brick walls and high ceilings. In front of me were two people. One of them was a girl with jet black hair and eyes that flickered restlessly. Her lips moved silently . The other person was a boy with sandy blond hair. With a curt nod, the girl left after eying me with distaste. The boy spun around, his hair seemed alive as the torches flickered and burned.

"Well," He said smoothly," It's Nice to meet you Jamie. He has been waiting for you."

" Who are you and where am I? I thought I was dreaming."

"Oh, my manners, my name is Luke, but I guess you already knew that." A hand casually flicked his grey hood back. Those eyes...that scar...it was no doubt this was Luke. As I studied him, I could see why Annabeth would be upset by his betrayal. I would too if he had betrayed me.

"How did I get here?" I asked.

"Hecate is amazing when she wants to be. She transported half your soul here so you could meet...him..." His expression darkened then smoothed out.

"You..you were Thalia's friend." I muttered.

"So you do know her," he said darkly.

"I also know the other girl," I said. "How could you betray them?" My voice at least sounded calm. Inside I had shriveled up and died.

"The Gods are too blind. They need to be De-throned." He said matter-o-factly.

"No, there are...they're just..." I struggled to defend them but after everything they had done to me, it was impossible.

"They're people," I managed out.

"Really? You still say that after what they did to you? Just because of who your father is?"

"You know my father?" I asked. Luke shoved his hands in his pocket.

"The type I know but a specific person, I do not know." He said at last. I huffed, forgetting that I was dealing with the most deadliest person I could meet.

"Thanks for your help," I grumbled. Luke spun around sharply into another room, this one completely dark. There was cold energy surrounding the entire room an a thin layer of frost was clear in the air.

"Can't you turn on the heat?" I grumbled. Then I saw it. A golden coffin was in the back of the room with senses that showed painful ways to die. But that wasn't the scary part. It was when a voice hissed inside my mind, like a razor across a smooth pebble. It made my skin crawl and hide.

Leave us, Luke, It hissed.

Luke nodded once and left. I could make out a sliver of his face but I saw that his face was white with fear. Now I was alone with Kronos. The most evil person alive. i was sooo dead.

So, he said amused, this is how you turn out. He gave a short burst of laughter and it rattled around the room and sent chills down my spine.

"Y-you're suppose to...barely alive." I stammered.

Lies, he hisses, I have been nearly complete. A couple of weeks and I will rise again. His statement was more then I could bare. I shivered once.

Are you afraid,He asked amused.

"No way! Mad yes, scared, never!" It bended my pride alot to even say that. kronos's rattling laughter sounded around the room again.

Do you know why you are here before me now?

"No," I admitted grudgingly." But you want information on Percy, you'll have to do it over Annabeth's dead body..which might be better then her being alive," I added after a pasue. I couldn't help it. She was just so...urh! Athena could punish me later.

You are very interesting to talk to, though I expected more from you, He said.

"Just who are yo to think you know me?" I demanded.

You'll figure it out in oh, 24 hours. For now, begone. And just like that I was awake.


Thalia's eyes were the first things that I saw.

"Hey, are you okay? You were very restless," She said. Phoebe came in, the sleeve of her silvery jacket ripped.

"What happened to her?" I asked.

"Oh nothing much. She just had a friendly spar with one of the Apollo campers." Thalia said impatiently.

My heart was pounding and I needed to get out of the room. But I also had to tell someone.

"Thalia, I need to tell you something." I said. "Alone." Thalia stood up and I followed her outside. The sun was up already and warm pink rays shone on my face and arms.

"I saw Luke in my dream,' I said without drawing breath.

"yeah well, wait ..what?"

"Well, I saw him in my dream and then Kronos.." I licked my lips nervously," He spoke to me. Kronos, I mean. And Luke said he knew what my dad was." For the first time, Thalia looked like a kid again.

"Annabeth,"she said automatically,"She'll know what to do."

" Yeah..so, she won't care. All she'll care about is Luke.."

"What about Luke?" Annabeth's pesky voice said from behind me. I spun around.

"Nothing you have to worry about." I said coldly.

"But Luke is my friend and I should get to know."

"Yeah, but he came to my dream so bug off Wise Girl. Don't you have another person to bore?"

Annabeth swallowed and said. "Look...maybe I was out of line yesterday. I men, I thought a lot about what you said and you're right, the Gods have had harsh judgements before and ...and..maybe I was too harsh to judge."

"Are you sensire or is it just because you want to her about about Luke."

"Both," she said.

"Swear on the River Stix," I insisted. She swore and only then did I tell her about my dream, leaving out the parts about what Kronos had said to me. That was personal.

"Well,"Annabeth shifted," Luke is always like that so..but I never knew Hecate was that powerful!"

"I thought you knew everything," I stated. She elbowed me lightly in the ribs and I dodged. As soon as we got to the Dining Hall, all conversation hushed up. I tried not to let it get to me. This time, I didn't sacrifice anything to the gods because if I did, I'd bet they would fry me alive.

Silena, pretty Aphrodite girl got up and tapped me on the shoulders.

"What?" I demanded.

"Um...that girl wants you," She pointed to a girl from the Apollo cabin with frizzy red hair around an otherwise pretty face. Though, her eyes were narrowed into slants.

"What?" I demanded.

"Nothing, just that well...if you want to eat, you know, you have to make a sacrifice to the Gods." She had a snobby voice like she was always bugging someone.

"Yes, I know that." I said as calm as I could.

"So, do it! Oh, wait, the Gods hate you!" I stared at my hands to keep from strangling her. "Your aunt didn't even want you!" I spun around.

"Where did you hear that?" I demanded.

"Oh, well, I heard you on your first day."

"You were spying?" I asked.

"Spying is a harsh word, I'd like to think of it as listening without people knowing me. Besides, I was curious."

"Curious about being more of a B.I.T.C-" Thalia clamped a hand over my mouth. The Apollo girl smirked.

"Yeah, you don't have a family and you aren't even a Demi-God because , well, all the Gods want to kill you!" I stormed out of there. Not before I heard Annabeth explode with fury.


Thalia's P.O.V

The thing with Annabeth is that she is real protective of her friends. Even if they are new, she hates it when people make fun. Plus, Annabeth could relate.

"What was that about, Sheena?" She exploded. I backed up towards Percy and Nico. There were dark circles under Nico's eyes.

"What's going on? Where is Jamie? Who is Annabeth yelling at?" Percy demanded.

"IN order, Sheena was making fun of Jamie. Jamie ran out and Annabeth is about o tear Sheena up. Want to try to stop her?"

"No, I'm good."Percy said. Nico didn't say anything but that wasn't unusual.

"By the way, who came up with the strategy yesterday for your team. It was pretty thought out." Percy said.

"Jamie," The single blank word came from Nico.

"Wow, well..that's..yeah.." At that moment, there was a loud yell of pain and Annabeth yelling," LUKE IS NOT LIKE..LIKE KRONOS!"

I sighed as Percy went to break up the fight. I turned to Nico.

"What's up with you?" I asked.

"Nothing. I talked to Bianca last night. She told me something was wrong and after that she told me Kronos was stirring. Also," he looked up," She said that we'll get a suprise at this time." Maybe it was Percy getting kicked in the face by Annabeth but that happened everyday.

A strange gas entered the room, chilly and cold. I shivered, and discovered that I was not the only one. The smell...ugh! It smelled like rocking sewage. Then, I looked up briefly and dropped my tray in shock. The Oracle was walking towards us, green mist and all. The smell was awful enough but when she spoke in my mind, it sounded worse.

I am the Oracle of Delphi. Speak your wish. Annabeth's lips trembled with the word 'Luke' about to burst out.

"What happened to Artemis?" She asked instead. I thanked her a thousand times with my eyes. The Oracle opened sightless eyes:

three of the eldest, one of evil and two more depart

at the end of end is where it lights the dark

two or more for death to claim

But make haste and light the flame

The goddess in chains bound to a curse withstand

One to choose a friends or a fathers hand

A loved ones fate with evil is to be seal

two choices, one path of evil must deal

To find answers sought go naught but west

the Olympian holds a secret of evilness or bless

a secret best kept with sealed warrior's breath

When one becomes three the answer is death

And then, she collapsed where she stood.


Jamie P.O.V

I was pretty confused when I saw the Oracle collapse. Chiron got some people to tend to her and turned to Annabeth.

"Do you have any idea what that means?" Annabeth shook her head."I do know that six people are suppose to go." Annabeth said.

"Everybody out!" Chiron called out and they all scattered.

"Wait! Percy, Nico, Clarisse, Thalia and...Jamie..why don't you guys stay?" I stayed back, confused by what was going on. Chiron led us to the Big House. Clarisse was one of the people at camp who didn't seem to care about who I was.

In fact, she was actually the one who had gotten people to stop stealing my stuff.

"Got any idea what this is about?" I asked.

"No idea, punk. But if I have to go, then that just goes to show you how bad this is.'

I twisted a strand of hair in between my fingers. Clarisse punched Percy as he passed. When we got to the Big House, Chiron folded his front legs under him.

"Why am I here?" I demanded.

'I think I have some of the answers from the prophecy." Annabeth had a look in her eyes that made me wary. "The first line said 'three of the eldest, one of evil and two more depart".That meant the child's of the three big gods: Thalia, Nico and Percy. The one of evil meant Ares, I think so you came, Clarisse. And the other two are for Jamie and myself."

She took a deep breath and continued," Then it said 'at the end of end is where it lights the dark' and I think it means the underworld so in California somewhere. The next line I'm sure of is' two or more for death to claim But make haste and light the flame'. I think that means that two or more of us are gonna die but not for long. I think Nico might have something to do with that, actually. Let's see'The goddess in chains bound to a curse withstand' that is of course Artemis. And a friends fate is..is Luke. That's about all that I am sure of."

She bit her lip and settled back while the rest of us lapsed around in silence. I couldn't help but to check my watch. I mean, I know kronos was evil and everything but he seemed to be sensire. It was an hour and a half since I'd had that dream. In twenty three and a half hours...

My head snapped up.

"We know another line. It says to find to goddess in chains no naught but west. That means Artemis is being held in the west, maybe,like Annabeth said near where Hades is. The rest is s mystery." That was all I could figure out but I guess it made a difference.

Annabeth's eyes lit up and she tapped her Yankees cap against her leg.

"That means the ...But its so.." While she struggled for words, Thalia seemed to have gotten bored because she was having a wrestling thing with their left hands. Charisse had bulk and skill but traveling around with Artemis seemed to have been an energy boost.

"When do we leave?"

'Thalia asked once she had lost..expectantly.

"Its dawn..nearly so I suggest you leave...now. Oh, an a deadline is to be expected. The Phrophecy..the Great One...the Gods are to be in Olympus in four weeks to scout more Titans. If Lady Artemis isn't there then ...well, she's the best scouter so..just a warning.."

"Great, how are we gonna get to California in less then a week?" I asked.

"Figure it out and stay out of the air, Jamie and the sea...well, any where the gods have reign."

I sighed but nodded.

"Get packed and meet back here in..oh..no more then ten minutes. That's when the cleaning Harpies come out to eat." Annabeth told us. That woke me up a little as me and Thalia went out.

"Are you okay with traveling with boys?" I asked, remembering she was in the hunt.

"Well..the Goddess needs my help and if they are needed, I will not protest." I grabbed a small bag and put down clothes, water, and the few dollars I had still left over. I had no weapon so I still had the sword I had...borrowed from Nico. When the Mist discorded it, it looked like a bracelet..but I couldn't picture Nico wearing a bracelet. Maybe the sword knew I was a girl.

Thalia of course had her monster Aegis on her arm and items in her bag and a bow and quiver.

We decided to go to the entrance of the camp to wait for them. The camp was oddly warm an heady yet at the same time, dark and scary. Annabeth was the last one to come with her hair tied back in a ponytail.

"Hey, is that my sword?" Nico demanded.

"Yeah, so?'

"Where did you find it ?" He asked.

"Uh, I found it lyng around the weapons area and I need a weapon or I'm toast."

"Look, Stygian Iron isn't for you. Try Celestial Bronze Swords or something,"

"Ah, nah. Maybe later," I said. Nico scowled like a little kid but allowed it, eying the metal bracelet on my hands.

"Any idea how to get to California from New York?" I asked.

"Maybe one way," Percy said," But first..we have to visit my mom."

"Percy, this is serious! We can't waste any time at your moms house."

"We have to," He insisted," We need human money and we need a camp. And if we're not gonna be back for four weeks, mom's gonna flip. Come on, Annabeth!" Annabeth hesitated and I could see that her mind was working out plains.

"Fine," she said," But only for a little bit. Artemis has been captured, Percy, and i she can't make it back, the Gods will have our heads." She tapped her cap nervously. "Don't worry, it'll be quick,"


Percy's mom turned out to be really nice with reddish-brown hair and a smile that seemed plastered on her face.

"Oh, Percy!" She had attacked Percy into a tight hug. "What is it this time?"

She really seemed to know her son then she saw me. "Oh, who is this, Percy?"

"My name is Jamie. Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Jackson."

She smiled back and said," Paul left for his job so..come in, come in!" There were cookies on the table, chocolate chip and we all helped ourselves. Percy and all the rest made a small fire and threw food in it for the Gods.

I didn't, though my chewing slowed until I was barely eating. Thalia looked over at me with the evil eyes.

"Jamie, i know you hate the Gods but , they won't do anything to you. Be polite." I glared at her but didn't do as she asked. "Jamie..."

"Fine," I snapped and chucked my cookie in the flame. It bounced back out, flaming hot and branded on my searing hot burst of flames hurt and I struggled to drop it. I glared at her sourly."Thanks for the helpful advice, Thalia, if I ever want to die, then I know what to do,"

"Sorry," Thalia said, flushing up.

I got up and was about to turn on the sink when I remembered Poseidon. I slammed a hand on the sink, gnawing my teeth in frustration.

"What-"

"The Gods resent her for something,"he answered."They tried to set her on fire yesterday."

"Oh, poor thing. It must be because of her parent. Does she know yet?"

"No, I don't know and I am at a lost for what to do because I have never done anything to the Gods and yet ..." I sucked in a deep gust of wind.

Percy explained our quest to his mom and she pursed her lips, looking concerned.

"You have to be safe, okay?" She handed over the money and gave him another hug, this one I was sure rattling his jaws.

"Oh, this better not be not be like last year," She pouted.

"I'll be fine mom." Percy sounded ...annoyed. His mom looked ready to cry. I wondered exactly how many times Percy had disappeared.

"AT least stay for lunch," She said,. "Just a little bit longer, Percy. I have to run to the bank for your money." Percy opened his mouth to protest and Thalia nudged him sharply.

"Er..yeah, sure." He said. His mom happily went upstairs to his room.

"What? Are you trying to be annoying? You said so yourself that Artemis is in trouble-"

Thalia shut him up with one of her evil eyes.

"Percy, your mother loves you and you have run off so much. This is a small price to pay to be loved by your mom...I would know." I realized Thalia's mom must have died. Percy scratched his head.

"Right, sorry. Right after lunch, okay? Or Annabeth is gonna kill me." Annabeth socked him in the arm.

Nico and Clarisse had been quiet in the background, hands held awkwardly. Poor things. I took two cookies and pressed one to each of thier hands.

"Eat," I told them," And be happy. Why aren't you happy?"

Charisse looked at me.

"Listen here, punk, my father is gonna skin me good if he finds out I'm traveling with runts like him," She jerked her chin towards Percy."He ain't so forgiving to people..I would know.."

I looked at Nico."Why are you like this?"

He shrugged."I don't know. Why do people hate Hades? Who made such thing as the Sky?"

"That makes no sence," I said."Maybe not to you,but to me, it makes a whole lot of sense. It's just like a puzzle."

"Well, then..I'm lost..I stink at puzzles." I told him. "But I do know that I am two seconds away from punching your arm off." Nico stared at me blackly.

My arm came up and punched him hard in the arm."Told ya," I said, shrugging. He rubbed his shoulders.

"Hey, what time is it?" I asked Percy. I really wanted to believe Kronos...how weird that sounded...and see if my Godly parent would claim me. "

Uh...nine in the morning, why?"

"No reason," I said, shrugging. Twenty hours left. That seemed so far away. I was pushed up against the couch with Annabeth on one side of me and Nico on the other. Percy was raiding the fridge, poking in and out of the rooms and sitting down with a bowl of blue popcorn. How weird.

I took a a handful and paused, looking at Nico. I pressed most of it in his hands. He pushed it away from him. I pushed back harder and again he bested me. Childishly, I put a few pieces in his mouth. He choked and swallowed, glaring a time.

"What was that for?" He demanded. "Just checking .." I said and trailed off.

There was that voice in my head again. Kronos. His laughter ran in my mind, making everything icy and cold. I clutched the side of my head in agony.

"Hey, Jamie?" Annabeth said."Are you okay?" I nodded, my eyes going black. How was this happening to me. How was Kronos able to do this? Why didn't he do it to Percy?

The throbbing continued and it worsened and I fell of the sofa, holding my head. Voices floated in my mind.

"Is she okay.."

"What happened to her.."

"Oh my goodness, Jamie!"

"What is going-"

The voices died off and strangely, so did everything else. My eyes opened and froze. Everything was unmoving. Annabeth stared at me without blinking. Percy's mom's hands were in mid air, stuck. They had frozen. So why wasn't I ?

I got up and swayed to avoid the incoming hands. Did I do that? How did I reverse it?

"Uh..undo whatever.." I waved my hands foolishly. Nothing happened."Okay..uh...un-freeze.." Nothing. I was losing my temper. "Oh for the love of...Just...Unfreeze, dammit!" My voice rang out in double tones and everything sped up. Percy blinked and looked at me; Clarisse hit the wall; Annabeth spun around; Percy's mothers hands came down; Thalia's scowl melted into confusion; Nico blinked once.

"Jamie what happened?" Percy asked. I didn't answer. I just had a scary thought. But it couldn't be...

"Jamie?" Annabeth said. I still didn't answer. No, but it couldn't be..but what if..my father was...

"I..I'm fine..I think.." I said. I shook my head.

It couldn't be possible. But what if...just maybe...No!


Yeah, I know that was a weird way to end the chapter but oh well. Her father will be revealed in the next chapter..maybe.

The prophecy has a double meaning behind it and as for Grover and Tyson..well..you'll find out later.

Try to guess who her father is. Maybe one of you will get it right. Maybe.

Comment and guess. Well..

Bye!
