I know, I haven't updated this for a looooooooooooooong time. I was out of ideas.

On with the story!

Mei's POV

A few days before school started, Mike and I met up at a froyo place next to Mike's school.

"So… Chiron thinks that there're half-bloods here, huh?" I asked while twirling my pencil/sword between by finger and thumb. I've taken a habit of calling it Reaper. Mike, being the dumbass Aphrodite guy he is, said really loudly, "Yup. Powerful ones too!" causing me to give him my trademark daughter of Hades glare.

A group of his fangirls, who still stalked him, started whispering together and staring at us, probably wondering why we looked like we were on a date or something.

"Hey, Mei, I really gotta piss."

"Whatevs, Pretty Boy. Not like I tied you up or something." Mike jumped up and ran for the bathroom like a little kid, causing his fangirls to giggle. All except for one, who fixed a very creepy glare on me- an icy blue one that flashed red for a second. An empousai.

A few seconds later, Mike walked out of the bathroom. The empousai turned her attention on him, but then turned back to her "friend," who said "Crap! Mom texted! We gotta go!" The group of stalkers all stood up, but the empousai stayed.

"Mads, Eri, I'm gonna stay. Make sure that slut makes no moves on him." That pissed me off. I am NOT a slut. But then again, since she is a monster, she probably wanted an excuse for some alone time with us so she could have a little snack.

Her "friends" shrugged and said a quick "Bye Tammi!" Tammi huh… Oh my gods. The empousai that tried to kill Percy and our Oracle, Rachel! I got Reaper ready in my hand, and Mike looked quizzically at me, but put a hand on Katropis II. Tammi looked satisfied as her idiotic friends walked out. I grabbed Mike's wrist and backed out of the place. When we got out, I started sprinting, Mike on my heels.

"Going somewhere?" The empousai appeared in front of me. "You remind me of that fish from four years ago."

"Yeah, 'cause he's my frickin' cousin, you idiot!"

That might have pissed her off a little, because she went into monster mode, which means flaming hair, red eyes, screwed up legs, and claws, and she started throwing crap that was around her.

"Oh my gods, an empousai!" Mike is such an idiot.

"No shit, Sherlock! Now help me kill her!" I hissed as I dodged another potted plant. He snapped out of his little trance. He slashed at her donkey leg and almost cut off her foot, but she moved out of the way, right on to my sword. The Stygian iron side sucked up her energy and the Celestial bronze reduced her to golden dust.

"Mei! You got the dust on my shoes!"

"Shut up, Pretty Boy! I'm thinking about how the monster knew we'd be here," I said, turning my sword back into a pencil.

"Well, she smelled us, duh. Plus, the Romans are here, so she might've come to California for a snack."

"No… empousai prefer Greek demigods. Apparently Romans smell funny. And I'm pretty sure we're the only Greeks in California."

"Well, technically, I'm Korean and you're Chinese, so… we're not exactly considered Greek." I facepalmed.

"Mike…I meant Greek demigods."

"Ah. I see."

Suddenly, a rainbow appeared in front of us. You have one message from Jason Grace, San Francisco, Camp Demigod. Mike jumped.

"Whoa! Monster! Mei! Kill it! C'mon, take out Reaper or something!" I rolled my eyes.

"Mike, it's an Iris Message."

"…oops. Sorry Lady Iris!" I rolled my eyes again and threw a drachma in the rainbow. The image of a ripped blond guy with blue eyes appeared.

"Hey Jase. What's up?"

"Hey Mei. Is Mike there with you?"

"Isn't he always?"

"Good point."

"Yo, Jason, my man! What up, dawg?"

"Hey bro. How's Piper?" After Jason left for the Roman camp a week after we came to camp, Piper went all emo. She even went to me for some black clothes. Nico was really pissed off because he was napping.

"Good…ish."

"Ish? What's wrong?"

"…I don't know how to say this. She's alive, but she's- I mean- actually-"

"Jason, this idiot's sister is all emo."

"…yeah. I was totally gonna say that."

"Well, tell Pipes that I say hi, and have you been attacked lately?" That took me by surprise.

"Umm… yeah… by a… a…"

"An empousai. The one that attacked Percy and Rachel. Tammi."

"Oh, right. Psht. I totally knew that."

"Sure. Of course. Hey, I gotta go. Lupa's getting kinda pissed. Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you. Gaea is after you. That's why there are so many Greek monsters in California. Expect to be attacked a lot. Ok, bye!"

He swiped a hand through the rainbow and cut our connection. Mike and I had no choice but to head back into the froyo shop.

"Mei! Gaea's after our fat Greek asses! Oh, hey! ET's on! Oh my gods! I love this song!"

"Katy Perry's a daughter of Apollo."

"What about Ke$ha?"

"Daughter of Dionysus."

"That explains a lot."

"I know right? Well anyways-"

"Take me, t-t-take me, want to be a victim, ready for abduction-"

"MIKE! What the hell?"

"I love this song!"

At Camp Halfblood...(no one's POV)

"Percy! Annabeth! What if she dies? What if she loses a leg? What if she becomes horribly scarred for the rest of her life? It's like Bianca all over again, sending my sister into a death trap, except she's only thirteen!" An agitated son of Hades paced around in the Poseidon cabin, annoying the hell out of a certain daughter of Athena and son of Poseidon.

"Nico! Calm down! Mei will be fine! She's got a responsible- um- teenager looking after her!"

"Hehehe… Mike is as responsible Travis and Connor. And Bianca was twelve."

"Shut the fuck up, Percy! And I was ten, so twelve seemed really old! But-but- my little sister-" His voice broke.

"Sorry Nico." Nico plopped on to Tyson's bunk, covering his face with his hands.

"Why'd that idiotic horse let her go to California? He knows that Gaea is after her and that Pretty Boy, so why?"

"Nico! Respect Chiron!"

"Hehehe… he's been acting like he has a stick up his ass ever since Jason left. Lawl."

"Percy! And yes, he has been acting like he has a stick up his ass, but you've been so… weird ever since you came back!"

"What can I say? Bobby's a screwed up guy."

"That's true. He is." Percy and Annabeth whipped around to see who was talking, because it definitely wasn't Nico, who was having an emo scene over in a corner.

"Jason!" Sure enough, the son of Zeus stood right in the door way.

"How the hell did you get there?"

"Percy! Don't curse- oh fuck!" Annabeth swore as she knocked one of the shell shaped alarm clocks on her foot.

"Annabeth! Don't curse!" Percy mocked. "Anyways, Jason, how did you get here?"

"Some fancy rainbow riding, a blessing to Dad, and a purple koala. Don't ask."

"Okay. Why'd you come here then?" Percy rested his arm on Annabeth's head as she fixed the alarm clock.

"Just tellin' ya that Mei and Mike are fine. Nico, stop having an emo scene." Nico immediately snapped out of the emo scene and pranced around saying, "My baby sis is fine!"

"But! They were attacked by an empousai. Tammi, to be exact."

"Damn! She's back already? Anna, go fix Nico." Annabeth straightened up.

"Why don't you, Seaweed Brain?"

"Because… um… Sparky here is a lot hotter than me!"

Jason chuckled.

"Sorry Perce. My sexiness is not an excuse for you to be lazy. And besides, I like Piper. No offense or anything, Annabeth."

"None taken. Now Percy, go get your lazy ass over to hyper Dead Boy over there!"

"…fine."

Pretty short, I know. Don't be a hater. Review!
