Ok, so I know that I usually am trying to update once a week, but this is a two-parter, so I need to finish this. And it is also my gift to you guys for being so patient with me. Writing isn't easy for me, and I usually fail essays because my writing isn't well structured. And again, what I said last chapter still applies. If you want me to delete this, vote 1, and if you don't, vote 2. Please vote in the reviews and I will take feedback from your votes to decide if I want to leave this story or not. And thank PicturePerfectMe for requesting Brittin and here is part two. And I should have a QT question for you guys, so here we go.

Previously on Humans meet Percabeth:
I opened my mouth to say something, but a low growl cut me off. Percy's face was pale as he asked me some questions. "Are you ADHD and dyslexic? Do you live with one or foster parents? Is this the first time that this has happened?" I answered yes to all of his questions.
Then the growl, pierced the air again, this time closer. I could make out a body that was low to the ground, walking on all fours, was as big as a rhino, and had lava red eyes.
"Brittin, Percy said, run, now".
Brittin Tomas-Robert
I hesitated, I was scared out of my mind, but I didn't want to leave Percy. "What is that thing?", I managed to get out.
"That is a...I have to tell you later. Now run, I can handle it.", Percy told me. I did what he told me, I ran, faster than I have ever run before. I stopped near the staff parking lot, which was on the other side of the school and heard thundering footsteps behind me. My heart raced. What if it was that thing that had tried to kill me before Percy, wait a minute, where is Percy? I started to double back towards the gym, when something grabbed me. I did the only natural thing that a girl does when frightened, I screamed. A hand clamped over my mouth, looked right at me with its sea-green eyes.
I relaxed, then went crazy. "What the Hell were you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed. I am not a defenseless little girl, you didn't have to go after that...that...what was that thing? A creature from hell?"
His face was solemn, "Yes it was a creature from hell. You are a demi-god, which means that one of your parents is a Greek god or goddess. I have to take you to a special camp for people like us." Wait, like us?
My face must have voiced my question because Percy answered, "I am also a demi-god, a son of Poseidon. But we need to get going before more hellhounds and other little nasties come after us." He pulled me towards his car and I hopped in. Now I just need to know where that hell we are going.
At Camp Half-Blood
We got out and ran up a hill towards, well I was just following Percy. He was so handsome, I could just kiss him. But I pushed that thought to the back of my head and hurried to the crest of the hill. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, Brittin. I'll get someone to show you around", Percy told me. A crowd of people swarmed me, peppering me with question after question.
Percy pushed me towards a girl with brown hair and forest-green eyes. "Katie, this is Brittin. Can you show her around, I have to meet with Annabeth."
Katie snorted, "Yeah sure. Because your meetings always stay on task. And anyway, Annabeth isn't here yet. She is still on her way here."
To me she said, "Annabeth is Percy's girlfriend. And their meeting always end up with them making out in a random spot." Percy blushed and hurried off in the direction of this giant house.
"Come on new girl, I'll show you around and explain things better than Percy would anyway." She led me down the hill towards a U shaped row of bizarre looking cabins.
At Dinner
Katie had shown me around and I know knew that I would belong at this camp, I just needed to know who my godly parent was. And I got my answer sooner than I thought I would. In the middle of dinner, everyone stopped talking and looked at me, but they weren't looking at me, they were watching something above my head. I looked up to find a glowing lyre floating in mid air above me. Then it got weirder, they all knelt and he next thing I knew, the centaur named Chiron said, "All hail Brittin, daughter of Apollo, the god of sun, healing, archery, music, poetry, art, oracles, plague and medicine".
A boy with shaggy blonde hair looked me over, saying "You don't look like a child of Apollo. Can you prove it somehow? Not that we don't trust Dad's judgement, we just want to know."
I agreed and asked for a basketball. They gave me one and what I had considered practice paying off, was natural. I stopped lining up the shot, and just threw it. It always found its way to the hoop. "Okay, I think that I have more than proved myself now, can I enter the cabin now?"
Needless to say, they didn't question me once the found out how good I was with a bow and a quiver of arrows.
The Talent Show preparation
Each year, according to Will, the camp puts on a talent show and I had an idea on how to get Percy to become mine, and out of the clutches of Annabeth. She didn't like me and I didn't like her. The feeling was mutual between us. I had an idea that I would sing a song I wrote for him at the talent show. The conversation with Will was weird though. I asked him before I added myself to the list, "Hey Will."
"Yea, what do you need?"
"Can I perform something at the talent show?"
"What do you have in mind?", was his answer.
"Uhhh...can I sing as an act?"
"Is it something you wrote or a rip-off of an actual performer in the mortal world?"
No I stole it, "I wrote it myself, and why would I do that? I couldn't sing that garbage."
"Okay, but let me look over the lyrics. We have to make sure that some of the younger campers can hear you perform."
"Uhhhh, okay, I guess. Just wait I'll bring the lyrics here."
I brought him the lyrics and a few small changes later, I was ready to perform. And since dad was the god of music, I could all of a sudden play guitar better than before. So look out CHB, here I come!
The real Talent Show
I was sitting backstage, then Conner, this guy from Hermes cabin came up and wished me luck. I noticed how cute he looked and that Annabeth had Percy in her claws and wouldn't let go. Conner had beautiful blue eyes and curly brown hair. He wasn't normally shy, but he was shuffling his feet as he came up to me, which was odd for him because he was always so confident and as far as I knew, he didn't have a girlfriend. So I could grab him as mine, did I mention that I can be really possessive? Anyway, I thanked him and hurried on to the stage to perform.
"Thank you guys, so this is an original song that I wrote about no one in particular, so don't freak Chase."
"[Verse 1]
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
[Pre-Chorus]
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
[Chorus]
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me, you belong with me
[Verse 2]
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doing with a girl like that?
[Pre-Chorus]
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
[Chorus]
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me, you belong with me
[Bridge]
Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
[Chorus]
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me, you belong with me
[Outro]
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me"
I finished the song to a huge round of applause coming from the audience and then Travis, Conner's brother, stood up and yelled, "Conner likes Brittin! Conner likes Brittin!" I grinned and Conner blushed bright red. And I ended up with Conner Stoll as my boyfriend, which is practically perfect, except he is a thief, because he 'Stoll' my heart.
Well there you have it, that is my story. And Percy and Annabeth are having one of their little 'meetings' again, so I am going to prank them with Conner. I outgrew my crush on Percy and to every fan girl out there who is in love with Percy, no dice sister. Find someone else. See ya later people!
Well readers, there you have it. QT is... Who said "Oh, I hate your ideas" GTG
