A/N Disclaimer: I do not own PJO, Rick Riordan does.

I haven't gotten many reviews, but two of them put questions into theirs. I am just going to answer them here rather than through PMs. Also, if you have a question, just put it in the reviews, I will try to answer it in the next chapter if you do.

DHG Kablamstar: Yes. I liked it very much. Are you going to pair Percy up? If not no problems.

I will be pairing Percy up, I am going to be putting up a poll later on to decide who he should be paired with.

Djberneman: When will we learn what he is the primordial god of? He is supposedly a threat to Aurora and Chaos so he must be extremely powerful.

What he is the primordial god of is going to be found out later on in the story as well. I am still trying to find out how he is going to find it out, but I have decided on what his domain will be and it will explain why he was a threat to them.

That is all the questions for now, continue reading.

When it finally came time to leave, I had had all of my stuff packed into this small cube, basically functioning as a little pocket dimension. I was dressed in a white shirt, black pants, boots, and a black denim and grey knit vest hoodie because of the weather.

I quickly said goodbye to Ananke, Chronos, Gaea, Erebus, and Hemera, waving at them all as I vapor traveled out. I focused on the school's location while going over everything Chronos and Ananke had kept reminding me about. Like becoming friends with people. I don't think they realized I was raised as an only child, bar Hemera as she was usually in a younger form.

I opened my eyes as I felt the wind chill from how cold it was. I pushed my hands into my pockets, seeing my breath fog as I stepped towards the school. It looked castle-esque, really strict and regal looking. Everything was covered in sleet or had a thin layer of ice forming over it. I walked up the steps to the entrance doors, quietly mumbling to myself, "This better be worth all the shit I'm gonna have to deal with."

I stepped inside, feeling myself untense from the cold as a gust of hot air hit my face. I shook myself off of the snow which had fallen on me while I was outside and continued on walking to where the dance was supposed to be being held. The demigods shouldn't be arriving for probably another hour.

I soon came to a line of people waiting to enter the gym where it was being held. While waiting, I looked around for where the two children were and for any other monsters, besides the manticore, which could've been after them.

As I grew closer to the front of the line, I took notice of a man with slicked back hair, heterochromatic blue and brown eyes, wearing a military-style uniform. I had a deep temptation to salute at him because of how often Erebus and I did it to each other out of habit.

As I was finally at the front of the line, the man looked at me, his eyes slightly narrowed as he took me in. "Pardon me, but I don't believe I've ever seen you around here before." The man said with a distinct, French accent. I read his name tag which was pinned to his left breast: Dr. Thorn. 'Huh, that's not the least bit suspicious,' I thought to myself, fighting the urge to smirk. 'Hades really put them in a school where the Vice Principle is a gods-damned manticore.'

"I was transferred here very recently," I replied, smiling at him. "I'm in Mrs. Chalksgott's class, that's most likely why you don't recognize me," I added. He kept his eyes narrowed at me, but let me through along with about ten other students. I shook my head to myself as I entered the gym, not believing he actually let me in.

Red, black, and white balloons covered the floor. Guys were kicking them in each other's faces or attempting to strangle each other with the paper streamers. Groups over girls were huddled together, wearing very bright and revealing clothing as they went around the place, every once in a while surrounding a poor guy and then leaving him with string in his hair and lipstick graffiti covering his face. Others like me were off to the sides, playing basketball or just trying to keep a distance and hide.

I looked around at all the mobs of dancing kids, spotting two people standing out against the brightly colored clothes of the kids. A boy and a girl, they were both wearing dark-colored clothes, except for the floppy green hat which the girl had on. It looked like the boy was getting chewed out by the girl, shuffling a deck of cards in his hands nervously. They both had ebony black hair, olive skin, dark brown eyes, and an aura of death and danger emitting from them. Maybe we could be good friends, after all.

I made my way over to them while getting a better look at them as I got closer. The boy's eyes had a mischievous glint to them while he held a grin on his face, looked kinda emo with how his hair hung in his face - but, hey, I'm not really one to judge with how much black I wear. The girl's eyes held the same mischievousness, but it looked like sternness and maturity were really trying to overcome it. She kept looking over her shoulder, on guard, keeping an eye out for anything. A small part of my mind acknowledged how pretty she was, but I shrugged it aside. Friends, Percy, just friends.

I finally got to them, thinking of the best way I could go about introducing myself without seeming weird or too forward. But I felt a little inkling in my gut, sensing the demigods and Hunters of Artemis coming closer to the school. I sucked in a breath and went forward, approaching them so that they could see me coming. They both focused on me, Bianca's eyes holding apprehension while seeing me, while Nico's eyes gleamed while staring up at his sister.

"Hi, I'm Percy," I said, grinning at them slightly, stopping in front of them. I was going to continue, however, Nico beat me to it.

"Hey, I'm Nico and this is Bianca," Nico said, holding out a hand towards me. My eyes widened a little bit, I had expected him to be shy when I first saw him. I shook his hand, smiling while asking about his cards, trying to make small talk with his sister because of how hesitant she was. It took a bit of work, but I got through to her eventually. We were soon actually talking and laughing with each other easily over the course of the next hour.

I looked over my shoulder casually, sensing the demigods in the gym. Bianca seemed to notice it though as she asked, "Do you have that feeling as if we're being watched, too?"

I had to play the clueless part for now, but that didn't mean I couldn't drop a few hints here and there. "Yeah, it's weird," I said, then nodded over to where Dr. Thorn stood. "Have you noticed how Dr. Thorn keeps looking toward us?"

Bianca and Nico nodded, looking over at Dr. Thorn while I caught a glimpse of the demigods and satyr that were sent here after Bianca and Nico. There was a girl with raven-black hair and blue eyes, a boy with black hair, too, but with green eyes, a blonde girl with grey eyes, and finally the satyr who had a lightish dark skin tone and curly brown hair with brown eyes. I held back a growl at the thought of what Zeus would do to Bianca and Nico.

Dr. Thorn noticed us looking toward him and began making his way to us. I quickly turned and told them to act as inconspicuous as possible, even though we'd done nothing. He appeared in front of us as we talked casually, interrupting us, "You, three. Come with me," He said. I gave Bianca and Nico a look that said 'Don't worry' before we were pulled into the hallway with the entrance to the school and gym branching off from it. Before the doors closed, I took one look to where the demigods used to be, watching as the girl with spiky black hair and electric blue eyes dragged the satyr toward the door we were lead out through. My eyes quickly skirted around, catching on to the forms of the blonde girl and the black haired boy dancing together just as the doors closed. I held back a sneer as I compliantly followed Dr. Thorn, shifting closer to the siblings. I watched Dr. Thorn closely, attempting to move my hand closer to Revenge, but hesitated as Thorn suddenly appeared to disappear into the shadows of the hallway and two spikes were fired at me. I dodged one of them, but the other caught me in my left arm, sending me against the wall hard.

Bianca and Nico back-peddled in shock then tried to make their way to help me but were stopped as another eight spikes barely missed them. "Gods-dammit," I hissed as I yanked the spike out.

"It would be wise to not try that again. I have very good aim and won't give a warning shot next time." I heard the voice of Thorn say. I watched as Thorn reappeared from the shadows, now as a fully grown manticore. 'Great,' I thought sarcastically. He had the body of a lion, rippled with muscle, large bat wings, and the tail of a scorpion which curled upward threateningly, he had porcupine-like spikes protruding from his mane all the way down his spine and lining his tail in vast amounts. Bianca's breath caught in her throat along with Nico's, who was quickly shuffling through his Mythomagic cards. He motioned for us to continue following him as he made his way to the exit. We all stayed silent, with the occasional groan from me as the poison from the spike sent deep pangs of pain through my arm.

"Will you shut up?! My poison causes, pain not death. Move faster," Thorn said angrily. I glared slightly at his form, huffing and biting my tongue to keep me from saying things I'd regret. Thron stopped and turned us once we got to a clearing next to a cliffside outside. He somehow pulled out a walkie-talkie with his paws and went out of earshot of us. He came back a minute later. "Your ride will be here in a little bit. Shut up and sit tight till then," he said.

"What ride?" Bianca demanded, "Where are you taking us to?"

You could see Thorn snarl, "Silence, you insufferable girl!"

"Don't talk to her that way!" Nico and I shouted back at him.

Thorn growled deeply, walking up behind us, causing the hair on the back of my neck to stand up and Nico and I to be quiet. He started edging us closer to the cliff, finally giving me a shove which caused me to stumble and almost fall if Bianca hadn't caught me. I mumbled a quiet thanks while turning and sending Thorn a harsh glare. However, my attention quickly focused on the raven-haired girl and satyr sneaking up behind him. I watched as Thorn sniffed the air and whirled around, his tail narrowly missing the girl. The pair quickly backed up, Thorn stepping away from the cliff edge to get closer to them. Bianca, Nico, and I took out chance and dashed across the clearing to the opposite end, near the entrance to the school.

"Stay away from the manticore no matter what, understand," I said, momentarily turning to them to make sure they heard me. Nico's eyes lit up, quietly yelling, "I knew it!" I shook my head slightly then made my way over to Thorn, tapping my wrist and then gripping Revenge in my right hand. I momentarily looked away to see the other two demigods run outside, weapons out. The daughter of Athena disappeared as she put on a cap while the boy took one look at the manticore and paled. 'Really?' I questioned, watching as he dropped his sword and ran behind a tree. I blinked a few times then sighed, shaking my head and advancing on Dr. Thorn.

I pulled out a throwing knife and launched it at him, catching him in his shoulder and sending him reeling as he quickly turned to try to pull it out, making his tail flail out in a very deadly version of the game Helicopter. A game which the girl and satyr lost at as they were smacked aside, giving me the chance to dash forward and slash at his chest, getting a few deep cuts in before I was sent flying with a pain spreading through my back as he had whipped his tail backward, hitting me with a hell of a lot of force.

I cringed in pain, feeling a few of the manticores firmly implanted in my back. They weren't worryingly deep, but Chaos did they hurt. I grumbled while pulling myself up and advancing toward the manticore again. I narrowed my eyes as it seemed like he was struggling with something on his back but soon understood as a cap was thrown from the back of the monster and the daughter of Athena appeared, gripping onto his back. I quickly ran into the manticores guard, narrowly dodging a swing of its tail and an ark of lighting which missed the manticore. 'Guess that's the daughter of Zeus,' I thought, jumping up as his tail swung at me again, swiping downwards and effectively cutting it off from him. "Now it's time for the fun part," I said aloud, lunging forward. The girl on his back was flung off as one of his claws came up and clung to her shirt when trying to swipe at me. He lunged toward me and I side-stepped it at the last second, stunning him for a moment and allowing me to set him off balance with a kick. I jumped onto him, stabbing him in the stomach with my sword but being flung off as he squirmed in pain.

I got back up from the snow, looking around for Bianca and Nico and seeing them beside the satyr who was playing his reed pipes in an almost melodious tune. I sighed in relief, seeing as they were fine, but it didn't last long as I heard a hunting horn sound. "Oh, Gods," I said, looking over and seeing the daughter of Zeus helping the daughter of Athena up off the ground, "The Hunters." I heard the black-haired girl say bitterly with a snarl.

The manticore roared, attempting to get up and beginning to struggle as he heard the hunting horn sound. "That's not fair! Direct interference is against the Ancient Laws!" He yelled out in rage as silver arrows started raining down upon him. About twenty girls in silver ski parkas and jeans, all armed with bows and hunting knives. The advanced on the manticore with determined expressions, stopping to make way as a 12-year-old girl with auburn hair and silvery yellow eyes took to the front, a girl a little older with copper skin, long silky black hair, dark onyx eyes, and a slightly upturned nose with a silver circlet braided into her hair stepped up beside her with her bow drawn and aimed at the manticore. Lady Artemis and her lieutenant, Zoë Nightshade. I cursed under my breath, 'Of course, they would arrive now of all times,' I thought.

"Not so," Artemis said, "The hunting of all wild beasts is within my sphere. And you, foul creature, are a wild beast." Artemis finished, giving the slightest gesture to Zoë. "Zoë, permission granted." Zoë fired off a deadly shot aimed for the manticore's heart without a second of hesitation. But my eyes widened once I saw the manticore push off of his haunches jumping forward and backhanding Zoë with his huge claw over the cliff while her arrow met its mark, sending him flying over the side of the cliff, disintegrating as he fell. I jumped up, forgetting the pain in my back and lunging off the side of the cliff without a second thought.

I couldn't faintly hear the sound of Bianca and Nico screaming my name as the wind rushed past my ears. I had one plan going into this to get Zoë and me out of this alive, and yes, it would work, but I would have to convince Erebus to claim me.

'Better get ready to beg,' was my final thought as I went over the edge.

A/N I finished, thank the gods. Remember, if you have any questions put them in the reviews and I will answer them in the next chapter. If you enjoyed favorite, follow, and review, it's always appreciated.

That's all for now, bye.
