This Will be the Day - Jeff Williams & Cassey Lee Williams

At least for the rest of school, everything remained normal.

No strange teachers going missing, no monsters popping up out of nowhere, there was even a lack of the usual monster fodder that roamed Manhattan daily, but nothing odd at all.

Ana and Percy carried on as if nothing had happened, and for the latter of the two, nothing did happen that night of the solstice, he didn't know anything, from what she believed. If he had guessed something was up or had one of those pesky half-blood dreams, he never mentioned it. Although as of late there were many things neither mentioned to one another.

When Ana had contacted Annabeth, she had seemed on edge. In fact, everyone she saw in the background of the IM was on edge. She had told her that something was wrong, that something happened on Olympus that night and no one knew what. The gods wouldn't tell anyone and their camp leader, Chiron swore not to reveal anything. It seemed to just make the whole ordeal even worse, considering the whole Athena Cabin were ripping their hair out with theories.

Annabeth had bounced ideas against her, or at least tried to as Ana kept trying to avoid it all with not much luck. When she asked about Luke, along with Kallid, Ella, and Maads, Annabeth shrugged.

"Luke's fine. He seemed a little scared during the solstice. His dad tried to talk with him but he brushed it off, that was all though," she looked up from her notebook with a curious look, "Is everything alright Ana?"

"No everything's fine. Don't worry about it."

"Alright, if you say so."

It started with a student at their school.

And then a teacher followed. Soon after though, another two students had been exchanged out, or something along those lines.

Monsters had entered their school and had begun posing as students and teachers.

The students, who were originally girls before becoming swapped out, tried befriending Ana. It was a funny attempt at first. But then it was annoying, and so Ana did the next best thing, sending them back to Tartarus with a smile.

The girls returned the next day after apparently being on 'an unexpected family vacation'.

Percy was left with the teacher who had replaced math teachers. Ana hadn't been too sure if that teacher was a fury sent by their uncle or if that was another change from the books. Either way, her brother didn't take the time to find out, beheading the monster before it could do anything to him.

She found him standing over the disintegrating corpse of the monster, thank the gods he had beheaded a teacher, and you know, not an actual mortal (not that Xiphos would cut a mortal though). They went out for ice cream afterward.

Both had thought that would be the end of that, that everything would be fine and go back to normal, but that was a lie. When they had returned from spring break, Percy found e had a brand new science substitute, and three of the boys who were seated beside Ana had 'hit a tremendous growth spurt' and 'growled' while she was around. once again with a new teacher who had decided to make their lives a living hell.

Percy didn't help the situation, in turn letting out his sassy snarky self against the teacher, a comedic thing to their classmates, but a source of growing anger for the monster. If the monsters hadn't gone and tried to attack Ana when her back was turned, he may have continued to make jokes, but like his sister, anyone who touched his family was toast, or in this case a pile of ash.

Thankfully the end of the year approached but with the end came the realization that they would be going to camp the moment they were out.

It was obvious by the time they left school on the final day that something was severely wrong.

Everywhere there were storms and raging waves. The skies were covered with thunder and rain, while fishermen's livelihood were in shambles. Nothing was safe anymore.

Planes had to remain grounded in some states and bizarre floods had encompassed many beach homes and southern states. Normal mortals saw it as a freak weather occurrence or global warming, but any and all half-bloods knew the truth of the matter.

Triton hadn't stopped to say hello or IM in the last few months, his only excuse was that something was up but couldn't elaborate. Luke had been far more caged in his IMs while Annabeth has grown distant with theories and ideas. Ella and Khalid did message her once or twice, but neither had much to say other then the chaos happening at camp. The only one who seemed to be fine was Maads, who gladly talked off Ana's ears and keeping both her and Percy company whenever they needed, a very endearing action.

Their mother, knowing this day would come, that they would have to go camp sooner or later had promised them one last trip. One last stay in Montauk before they left to camp. And despite Ana's worries and the nagging feeling in the back of her head that something, something bad would be happening if they went, yet she didn't voice her concern once more, she wanted to honor her mother's wish to let their family stay together for a weekend in happy bliss.

Their mother hit the gas pedal in full speed, forcing the car to move faster than it ever had to before as the three hightailed it to camp as quickly as possible. And with every other minute, Ana found herself looking backward trying to glimpse something from behind the treelines and other cars, anything at all.

And then there, in the shadows, lurking behind the tree lines, skidding in between the cars of unknowing mortals there it was. The being that had sent their mother, the original story's Sally into Hades's clutches, the Minotaur.

Its horns were black and razor sharp, it's eyes beading and as the car zoomed by, its eyes seemed to glow and twist in the darkness. In its hands was it's crooked weapon that was screaming to be bathed in blood, their blood.

Besides her, Percy had already unsheathed Xiphos, his body rigid and body on alert. His sea green eyes had caught the creature as well, eyes narrowing as the water around their car began to wrap itself around them before shooting out at the monster who dodged the watery tendrils much to their annoyance.

Realizing just how dangerous of a situation they were in, she had fumbled out a set of dracma and fizzled a small orb of water into her shaky hand as the rainbow goddess accepted the offering as the view of camp half-blood appeared in her palms.

She spotted the famed curly blonde hair as she called out to her, grabbing Annabeth's attention who gave her a surprised look but was soon mixed in worry as she rushed over to the misty IM. Behind her, the other blondes Ana assumed were her siblings followed hesitantly.

"Annabeth I need you to listen," she told her before she could get a word in, "we're on our way right now-" her mother swerved violently as her palm shook at the move as Percy continued to try and pelt the monster with water bullets, "we're being chased right now, Pasiphae son is right behind us."

Another swerve of the car and her mother's desperate pleas and worried curses were heard through the IM as Annabeth nodded her head as she looked towards her siblings who were quickly off to alert the camp counselors of their arrival as well as the monster that followed.

"Don't worry, we've all been training for something like this," Annabeth reassured her, as one of her brothers brought her armor for her as Luke appeared into view, clad in armor and a serious expression. "We won't let any monster get you, we promise. It will not be like last time"

A loud howl rang through the air as everyone in the car froze, the hectic chaos on the other side of the mist seemed to become frozen along with them as they all realized what that sound was.

"Hell hounds," whispered Ella who had joined the others before another loud crack of thunder rumbled through the sky as the rain began to flood the streets ten-fold.

Annabeth nodded hastily, "We'll be here for you, Athena lead you and Hermes guide you-"

Her voice cut off before she could continue as the water in Ana's palms hit off it on onto the ground as she swerved yet again. In a moment, her trusted trident glittered in her hands as she braced herself for the impending attack.

Behind them, there were the cries of monsters, howls of hell hounds, and the large horns of the minotaur plummeting towards their car as they passed the strawberry sign. The chants of her mother echoed through the car, 'just a little further' as Percy and she exchanged glances, his free hand coming to reach for her as her fingers encompassed his tightly, "Together?"

He didn't need her confirmation to know that no matter what she would be by his side the entire time as she nodded, mustering up a smile, "Always."

It was at that moment that another loud clap of thunder roared as something shot through the car, spinning it over and onto it's back as it skidded down the street as everything around her cut out to black.

A/N: Super short chapter, promise the next few will be longer! The PJO Musical was super fun, really nice jokes, great acting, and songs! My friends and I cosplayed and it was a great time, seeing a bunch of kids running around with orange shirts and toy swords but let me just say, the bright orange shirts totally doesn't draw a lot of attention pffft.

The next 2 chapters are already written so the next one will be out (hopefully) this weekend!
