Previously on The Disguise

Zeus frowned and looked directly at me. "Artemis, are you sure that you want do watch over the demigods? Kronos' monsters can be very dangerous".

I knew in my heart that this would be the best way to work. I had much less duties than most Olympians, yet I was still powerful enough, and trained to destroy and hunt monsters.

"Zeus", I said, "I will be safe, I will use my original form instead of a duplicate to make sure that I will be powerful enough to defeat anything that comes their way"

With that, Zeus stood. "Artemis will watch over Percy Jackson and the demigods when they arrive at Goode High later on this year. The council is dismissed".

With only one day left until I went to school, I decided to prepare my disguise, and move in to the condo that I had found in Manhattan. Athena had already cleaned up most of the damage in the area, so that I would be able to find an place to live that wasn't damaged. The rest of the damage caused by the Titan war was reported to be the results of a terrorist attack.

I already figured out my name, my past life, and why I was at Goode High. My name would be Melanie Hunt. I would be an Apollo demigod who used to be part of the Hunters. I shared some of the same godly abilities as my brother, Apollo, and as a result, it would be easy to demonstrate that I was a demigod of Apollo. I would be at Goode High because Artemis had asked us to take a break from the Hunt to allow for Zeus to recruit new Hunters to join our ranks. It was true, as I had announced it 3 days back, so that would be a solid explanation.

Athena had briefed me earlier on how to act like an average high-schooler. She had frowned largely upon the fact that I would have to pretend to be less intelligent than I was, but than again, she is the goddess of wisdom.

As I aged myself backwards to become an 18 year old, I cringed at the thought of having to wear Aphrodite's clothes, which were now all lying on my bed. I regained my focus, and completed the disguise by turning my hair from auburn to blond and my eyes from silver to hazel. It would likely fool any monster, demigod, or mortal.

All in all, I had to admit that the disguise was perfect; I looked just like any average high school girl. It would only be my hunters who would be able to see though this entirely new facade and see who I really was.

My lieutenant, Thalia, already knew of the plan, and would pretend that I was just a normal demigod that used to be part of the Hunters while she was at Goode High. The rest of the Hunters stayed at Camp Half-Blood unless they had family to go home to.

Now, the last part of my disguise was what I dreaded the most. Clothing. I guess that that was the only way that I would blend in. My normal clothes, which consisted of a toga, would immediately give me away, making "OMG. ITS A GOD" appear in demigods' minds as soon as they saw me.

I would have to dress like the average girl-next-door teenager, revealing cleavage and legs to fully fit in. It was one of the things that I most despised; girls dressing like that just to impress and gain attention from males. It was the only thing that most males cared about; how a girl looked, instead of putting mind & personality over looks. It was one of the reasons why there were so many teen pregnancies in the first place. Society had lowered the standards of modesty so much that it was considered normal to be dressed in slightly revealing dresses. Which, coincidentally, would be I would be soon wearing.

Being a goddess wouldn't help either, as the godly aura that all gods and goddesses gave off attracted the opposite sex. Normally, I would have scraped the entire job by now, as it was why I vowed to be a maiden goddess in the first place. At the same time, I couldn't back out. I was needed in order to protect those who had saved Olympus. If they could have done so much for us, we would have to return our thanks in some way. Even if we didn't want to return it in this form.

I guess I would have to treat it as a learning experience. I had never gone into human civilization, other than staying in forests that were becoming smaller and smaller every day. It would be a whole new experience to actually live among humans instead of watching them from above.

Sighing, I teleported to one of the godly palaces that I would have never thought of entering before today. But I had no idea how to dress to play the role of my disguise. There was only one person who would know perfectly what to wear and how to act. Aphrodite.

Three hours later, Aphrodite had completed my makeover and I teleported to my new condo suite in Manhattan. It was close enough to school, yet I had a car to avoid all the stares that I knew I would be getting.

I now wore a flowing purple a-line sleeveless dress that stopped right at my knees. It had a v-neck, and was layered semitransparent at the bottom. I also had black sandals, and a pair of purple moon earrings. My hair was now pulled into a ponytail, with wisps of hair framing my face. Which was covered in makeup.

In my opinion, makeup was one of the stupidest things ever. Why would females put on makeup, just so that males around them would find them beautiful? It didn't make any sense. Using makeup was just like creating a fake identity. It looked nice, and would pass as normal, but when it came off, you were left with the original identity.

I really did not need the complications of having boys lust over me. Nor the issues that would arise if someone saw me turning them into animals.

As I scrubbed, trying to get the blush, purple eyeshadow, and foundation off, I realized that not a single bit had come off. It was obviously from one of Aphrodite's magic makeup kits. Which meant that it wasn't going to come off until Aphrodite willed it to come off.

Vowing to get Aphrodite back for her trick when I had the chance, I gave up from the scrubbing and plopped down on the bed. This disguise was going to be more problematic than I had thought.

Maybe it wasn't.

But I was a fool for letting Aphrodite put makeup on me.
