Hi. So here's the chapter I promised since the last chapter was so chapter isn't overly long but that isn't important since this is, after all, an extra post. I thought you should know because I don't think I've mentioned it before but this is going to be a multi 'book' fanfiction. This is just the first one and I'm working on the second one right now.
I have nothing I can think to say in here but I have this feeling that I wanted to tell you guys something important. I'm totally going to remember what I wanted to say as soon as I post. Oh, well. It couldn't have been that important if I can't remember it.
In other news, I'm writing a two 'book' story about Fem!Percy. There's one 'book' for the first five books of the Percy Jackson series and then the other 'book' for the Heroes of Olympus books. Okay I think that's all. Please keep an eye out for this story. I should have it done in a month or so if I don't get a sudden blast of inspiration for a new story or one of my other stories. I tend to flip between stories and that's why I want to write the whole story out before I post in in case I lose inspiration. For those of you who have read my Tartarus Choas Story then you'll know I'm not updating it regularly. To be honest it's because I had renewed inspiration for this story.
Sorry about the rambling, I don't own the Percy Jackson series for those of you who haven't guessed that already.
PS I'm posting this at 7:27pm.

We ended up bringing the two kids to our hide out with us. Luke wouldn't abandon two little kids on the street like this and neither would Clarisse and I. I was curious to see what they looked like because we couldn't see their faces in the dark. It took us about fifteen minutes to get back to the hideout. It wouldn't normally have taken so long from where we were but the two kids seemed to be injured and had trouble walking so far especially the Percy boy.
Luke and I, since we're the oldest, offered to carry them if they needed it but they refused saying they were fine. I don't think they trusted us that much, but then again if I was in their position I probably wouldn't trust us either.
"We're almost there." Luke said from the front of the group. "Are you sure you're fine?"
"We're fine." The girl, Annabeth, said. Looking back at them I noticed that the boy, Percy, was leaning on his sister a bit for support.
"Are you really?" I asked. "You both seemed quiet injured."
"We just need to bandage them up a bit and we'll be fine." Annabeth said tightly.
"Have you heard of Ambrosia or Nectar?" Luke asked. "It's a special type of food and drink that heals demigods."
"If it doesn't burn us up first." Annabeth muttered. "We had some when we started off but we're out."
"How long have you been on the road?" Clarisse asked.
"A week, maybe two." Percy replied. "I'm not sure though. Keeping track of time didn't seem that important."
"We're here." Luke sung. I watched as Luke reached out into empty air only to open a door. "Our hideouts are invisible so monsters can't find them."
"Cool!" Percy said as Annabeth asked, "How does it work?"
"Annie! Don't start with the questions now?" Percy complained. They walked past me and into the hideout.
"Be careful. Watch out for the ledge." My voice trailed off as I saw both of them step over the ledge that was almost impossible to see in the dark if you didn't know it was there. They both moved as if they could see in the dark.
Once we were all in the hideout Luke turned on the power. Looking at the two kids I gasped. They both had auburn hair but Annabeth had blond highlights and brown lowlights, while Percy had brown highlights and blonde lowlights. They're eyes were the most startling. Annabeth's left eye was a stormy grey with a red ring around the iris and her right eye was luminous silver that almost looked like it glowed, with a blue ring around the iris. Percy's right eye was sea green with a red ring around the iris and his left was the same silver as Annabeth's with a blue ring around the iris as well.
"Holy Hades." Luke said looking as them. I looked over at the son of Hermes and realized he was looking at Percy's torso. Looking at it I saw the gash that went across it not to mention all the other cuts that covered his body.
"Clarisse, grab the medical supplies." I ordered. "Percy, why don't you lay down over here so we can clean your wounds."
"Let Annabeth go first." He mumbled closing his eyes a bit. "She has a nasty cut on her leg." Looking at Annabeth I saw she was just as beat up as Percy, just without the gash across her chest.
"Percy, I'm fine." Annabeth insisted. "You, on the other hand, can barely stand on your feet." Percy went to say something but Annabeth beat him to it. "If you don't go first I will forever call you by your full name." That shut him up.
"What's his full name?" I asked trying to think what Percy could be short for.
"Tell her and I'll tfg blf drgs z yofmg pmruv." Half way through the sentence Percy changed to some weird language. (A/N I was reading this over and fixing mistakes. I had forgotten about the secret language and was so confused because I had no idea what I was trying to write. By the way the gibberish says 'I'll gut you with a blunt knife'.)
"Uh, what?" Luke asked.
"Sorry about that." Annabeth said. "Percy and I have our own language that no one but us, one our sisters and our mom know. We use it for threats or when we don't want people to listen to what we're saying."
"It's fine." I said. "What happened to you guys?"
Percy and Annabeth both looked at me like I was crazy. "We're demigods, so monsters happened." They both said slowly as if they were talking to a little kid, which is funny since they're seven and I'm twelve.
"I meant what kind of monster." I replied hotly.
"Gorgons and a few others." Percy said. He looked paler than before. Just then Clarisse found the medical kit.
"What took you so long?" Luke asked taking the kit from her.
"Couldn't find it. We haven't used this hang out in a long time." Clarisse defended herself. When she was with us she lost the attitude she had from being a child of Ares.
"Okay." Luke said going over to Percy's side. He pulled out the canister of Nectar we had gotten from the Hunters, when Annabeth grabbed his hand.
"I can do this." She said grabbing the canister. Luke did the smart thing and backed down. Man, that girl was scary.
"So you said you were attacked by gorgons?" I asked trying to change the subject as I watched Annabeth start working on her brothers' injuries. "Like Medusa."
"Very." Annabeth agreed pouring Nectar on the gash going across her brothers' chest. "It wasn't Medusa though, just her two sisters."
"Just her two sisters?" Luke asked. I had to admit, they made it sound like a small thing.
"Could have been worse." Percy said as Annabeth bandaged his chest and other cuts and scraps.
"Like you ending up dead." Annabeth said handing Percy the nectar as she laid down and Percy started to work on her wounds.
"I'm fine with being dead if it means saving you." Percy relied shocking me. Not that many people, much less seven year olds, could talk about their death so calmly.
"I feel like I missing something." Clarisse said interrupting the bickering siblings.
"We had defeated one of them and the other one was cornered when it's claws managed to catch my leg." Annabeth pointed to where Percy was pouring the godly drink on her leg. She had quite a nasty cut right above the ankle. I was surprised that she hadn't let us see her limp on the walk here.
"When I saw Annabeth go down and the gorgon standing above her I had to do something." Percy said.
"So this idiot," Annabeth pointed to her brother. "Decides to jump in front of the gorgons claw and get himself injured." Percy finish bandaging up his sisters injuries and sat back. Looking at their bandaged wounds I couldn't help but notice how professionally they had applied the bandages. Pretty impressive for untrained seven year olds.
"Well I saved your life didn't I?" Percy shot back.
"Would you guys like to stay with us?" Luke asked out of nowhere. The two siblings stopped their arguing to stare at Luke. I, along with Clarisse stared at him as well. I was thinking about letting them tag along as well, but hearing Luke say it out loud shocked me.
"Stay, like in here?" Percy asked.
"Well there's here, but the three of us usually travel all over the country. You could join us if you want." Luke replied calmly and collected like always.
"Why should we trust you?" Annabeth asked coldly
"Zmmzyvgs!" Percy yelled as Clarisse snarled, "Maybe because we just help you!"
"Zmmzyvgs?" I asked stumbling over the word.
"My name in our language." Annabeth replied. "Percy's name is Kvicb."
"As I was going to say, that was rude to say." Percy said.
"Well it's true. We just met them." Annabeth had a point there but there was no way I was going to allow two little demigods to live on the street.
"We can help you out." I said. "We have some supplies we got from the Hunt and some from Luke's dad. We can take care of you."
"The Hunt?" Percy asked. "You mean Artemis' Hunt?"
"Yeah." I replied trying not to let any venom seep into my voice. I can't believe that huntress, Zoë, asked us to abandon Luke like that.
"How'd you get supplies from Artemis' hunt?" Percy asked. "I mean you have a guy travelling with you and all."
"Clarisse and I were asked to join the hunt but when we said no she gave us a backpack as a goodbye gift." I replied.
"That must have been handy." Annabeth said and I had to admit it was.
"It has been." Luke said. "So what do you think of the offer?"
"We... uh...I have to agree with my sister. Sure you seem nice enough now but who's to say that, when things get tough, you wont leave us?" Percy was whispering by the end of the sentence. From what I've seen so far, Annabeth seemed confident surrounded by people while Percy seemed more like a one on one person.
"Because we're not like that." Luke said.
"If we were like that we would have left you to die in that alley." Clarisse said at the same time. "I mean look at your injuries. Percy's cut across his chest isn't completely healed, even with the Nectar, so it would've probably been bad enough that you'd of bleed to death, and you Annabeth, were also hurt, are extremely tired and probably wouldn't outlast your brother by much." She had a valid point.
"Just because you helped us out doesn't mean you won't abandon us." Annabeth insisted. "We're just going to cause more monster attacks for you."
"What are two more demigods going to do?" Clarisse snorted probably think of how we only got two or three extra attacks on a bad day when she joined us.
"How many attacks do you get a day?" Annabeth shot back.
"Ten on our worst day." Clarisse snapped.
"With the three of you?" Annabeth snorted. "I guess we have worse luck than we thought, Percy."
"Why? How many do you usually get?" Clarisse asked.
"How about…" Annabeth began before I interrupted.
"I have an idea." I said before Clarisse and Annabeth could get into a fight. "How about you come with us for a week. If by then you still don't trust us you can go on your own."
"That's a great idea." Luke exclaimed. "What do you guys say?"
I watched as Percy and Annabeth looked at each other for a few minutes before Annabeth looked away. "Fine." She said.
There was a moment of silence then, "So how old are you guys?" Percy asked sounding nervous. He defended wasn't a group person. "And full names." He added.
"Thalia...Grace." I hated my last name 'cause all it did was remind me of my mom. "12"
"Luke Callestan, 14" Luke said.
"Clarisse La Rue, 9" Clarisse said. "An you guys?"
"Annabeth Hunt, 7"
"Percy Hunt, 7."
"So you're twins?" I asked.
"Nope." Annabeth said popping the 'p'. "I'm older."
"Not by much. You're still 7." Percy said. I had a feeling that they argued about this a lot. Life with these two was going to be interesting.
