*Ducks and hide from readers throwing tomatoes and other questionable items* Oh my gods guys! I am SOOOOO sorry I haven't updated in four months! But like Percy "deadlines just aren't real to me until I'm staring at one in the face." I guess its a family trait. So a lot of crap has been going on in my life within the past two months and its been really stressful. Also, I broke my wrist, and then my computer broke. /: Please don't bail on me, but I'm still trying to figure out where Im going with this story so bear with me please. I promise I will not make you wait a whole four months before the next chapter. I GOT TO 50 REVIEWS! YAY!
The 50Th review is!…. PoTtErFaN1999 THANKS SOO MUCH!

*Disclaimer* Do I look like a grown man who published eight, soon to be twelve, books about demigods saving the world? Of course not! You are looking at a computer screen!
I Never Knew: Chapter 9: Morgan/
Morgan:
Lately, I have been really happy. I feel at home now that I am back with my brother and my mom and Paul. I used to be a happy person, but I feel I was usually just masking who I really was. Here, I am really being myself. I already have a lot of friends at school and at camp. I can be pretty social and outgoing. I was one of the most popular people in my school last year. Then again, there weren't that many people in the little boarding school I went to.
At camp this past weekend, I had been hanging out with Michael, Annabeth and the Athena cabin working on strategies for capture the flag on Fridays. Nowadays with all of the campers even in the winter we can play every week. I went training with Percy and Elena, and sometimes even Mads. She is usually at archery and I, not surprisingly, am no good at it, but when I do have to go there, she's there so it makes it a little more fun. I was hoping she was going to the dance on Friday but unfortunately she cant.
At school, I had been hanging out with all the people I had met and I saw Percy and the boys around. Amy, Crystal, Jaina, Jenny-Katherine, Declan, Lyf (the senior girl), and I had lunch together so we all sat together. Lyf was new here, and apparently she already is a hunter. She is very discreet about it unlike Amy and Cordelia, who obviously despise boys. She tolerates them, unless they try to flirt with her. So I guess that's why I didn't realize at first. As we were talking and eating during lunch, I noticed Jenny-Katherine and Declan were holding hands under the table. They were cute together. I noticed that Kristen and Adonis had a few classes together despite the fact that Adonis is a sophomore. It was obvious that they liked each other and they were going to the dance together. I think they make a cute couple. They were both good looking, and both had amazing personalities that complimented each other well! It was only a matter of time for both couples.
As the week went on, we all became more and more excited for the dance coming up. By Thursday, people were going crazy. Goode has a lot of dances through the year, but apparently the first and last are the best because the teachers are a lot less strict about dancing and what-not. Michael, Elena (who's bringing Will) and Annabeth were coming tonight and I couldn't wait to see them. The day passed by in a blur. I vaguely remembered sitting in first period art with Amy, second period history with Kristen, third period biology with Lyf and Declan, fourth and fifth periods with Crystal and so on. When the final bell rang, it was all I could do not to run out of the building down to my brother's car. I unfortunately had to wait about five minutes before Percy came leisurely walking out of the school.
"C'mon Perce! They will probably be at the apartment by now!" I yelled as he realized it was Thursday and everyone was coming and was suddenly in a hurry.
"Oh yea! Comin'!" He yelled back. We drove quickly and excitedly home to our friends.
We got there and we spent all night with our friends. It was great. The girls and I all got mani-pedis so we didn't have to tomorrow. The next day, Percy and I got out of school as fast as we could so we could get ready. Annabeth helped me do my hair. We curled it like hers is. Like a princess, and I helped her straighten hers. Elena's long hair was done up in a French twist that because her hair is so long, it ended up having the waterfall effect. It looked gorgeous on her. We got into our dresses and went to go meet up with the boys for dinner before the dance.
We went to Gina's. A little Italian restaurant off of 32nd street. (completely made up. Couldn't figure out which restaurant in NYC would be good so I made one up.) We ate a delicious dinner and we decided to get to homecoming.
So the six of us went to the dance in Percy's car. Percy and Annabeth in the front, me and Michael in the middle and Elena and Will in the back. My adrenaline from the excitement of getting ready was gone and I yawned and laid my head on michael's shoulder.
"You tired already? We haven't even gotten to the dance yet!" Michael said.
"I'm just. . . *yawn* taking a cat-nap." I said.
"Well wake up!" he yelled and started tickling me.
"Stop or you'll mess up her hair!" Elena yelled. Typical Aphrodite girl.
"Okay! Okay! I'm awake!" I said laughing.
"Good." Michael said while we pulled into the school. The other girls and guys were already there waiting for us.
"Hey guys!" Kristen said as we got out of the car. "How was dinner?"
"It was good!" Will said. We decided it was about time to go in now we were all here.
The dance was great! Up until it went wrong.
We were just dancing around the room. It was a slow dance and we were all with our dates (except for Lyf, Amy, and, Cordelia. They went off to get something to eat cause they are hunters so they didn't bring dates). I was dancing with Michael and all of the sudden I heard Percy and Annabeth scream from across the room. I look up and Annabeth is on the floor examining a cut in her arm. Though it doesn't exactly look like a cut. It almost looked like a bite mark. Whatever happened puller her arm bands off. If I wasn't awake before, I was now!
I look over and Percy has his sword drawn and he is facing something that I can't because the crowd covers it. I push my way to Annabeth who is starting to get up and pull her knife out of her sheath in the dress that we had to make. I twist my ring twice and my dagger is in my hand. Will and Michael get their sheath and arrows from where they were stashed before the dance. Amy, Cordelia, and Lyf also got their bows. Adonis yanks his dove charm off his necklace and it becomes his sword which I didn't know he had. Kristen just stands their looking shocked along with Declan, Crystal, Jaina, Jenny-Katherine, Jake, Jesus, and the rest of the school who have started to scream and backing out the doors. Elena on the other hand, pulls out her mirror and starts fixing her makeup. As of we would fix whatever it is. Which we probably will.
I look over to where Percy is and now that the crowd is staring to dissipate, I can see it is a dragon. A baby by the looks of him, but definitely older than any dragon I've ever seen. Aka Peleus. The rest of them start to attack but I just stand there. I'm still a little new at this, but eventually I join the fight. It wasn't that difficult with nine of us fighting one baby dragon. While the others were distracting it, I went up and stabbed it in the neck, which seemed to just make it angry.
"Be careful Morgan!" I heard Percy yell.
"I'm trying Perce!" I replied.
I started to fight it off until Annabeth came in invisibly and cut its head off. Once everything calmed down, the little dragon just looked like a big Peleus, which made me sad because I could never dream of hurting the little dragon; he's just too adorable. I could tell the others from camp felt the same way. I needed to distract myself. I walked over to Adonis.
"Not so bad with the fighting there, Adonis. Where'd ya learn to use a greek sword like that?" I asked.
"No where. I didn't even know I could. It was just an instinct. I didn't even know my dove turned into a sword." He put the hilt to his chain and it turned back into a dove charm.
"Let me see that" He handed it to me. "looks like this is from Aphrodite. Elena! Come look at this. Is this something your mom could've given him?" I asked showing her the dove.
"Yea it does. Though she often only gives these to her children who like to fight. There aren't many of us. I think the only one right now at camp would be Piper. You have a mom Adonis?"
"Uh, yea? My mom always talks about her mom who was named Aphrodite though."
Elena looked at me.
"What? His mom probably just made it through her life without dying! Ha-ha. It's not that rare!"
"Thats true. It really isn't that rare. Some people are able to move past camp." Percy said.
"Uh, does someone mind explaining this to us, please?" Kristen said. I forgot that they were there.
"Well, for starters, Kristen, Declan, Crystal, Jaina, and Jesus, you all are demigods. Half-god, half mortal. Just like us *gestures to herself, Percy, Morgan, Will, Elena, and Michael* and Lyf, Cordelia, and Amy, who's real name is Licinia, are in an elite group of maiden hunters under Artemis." Annabeth explained. Their faces were white with shock.
"Adonis, is apparently a mortal who's grandmother was a goddess." She continued. "Jenny-Katherine and Jake, you are mortals, who, if you just saw a dragon here a few minutes ago, have very clear-sighted vision. You can see through the mist, which most cant. Get it?"
There was a chorus if "no"s and "not at all"s through the group. After a few seconds of silence, Percy, Annabeth, Will, Elena, and Michael, and I burt out laughing at their expressions. Which were the equivalent of O.o on a real face.
"Don't worry. You should've seen my face a month ago when I found out! Then I found out I was Percy's sister! It's been crazy!"
"Ha-ha! I loved your face when we told you! You got so excited cause your dreams were coming true but so were your worst nightmares!" Michael said kissing my temple and putting his arm around my waist.
"Yea! Then Mads started a rant about the books! Ha-ha." I said.
"Who?" Jaina said.
"My twin sister." Michael said, "She's back at camp."
"Camp?" Declan said.
"Yes. Camp. Camp Half-blood. The only safe place for people like us." Will said.
"Eh-hem?" Amy said.
"Sorry," Will said sarcastically, "Only safe place for boys like us, the girls could also choose to be a hunter, and eternal maiden hunter for Artemis, goddess of the hunt."
"So thats why you said no to me when I asked you out! I knew you'd never turn me down unless you had to." Jake said moving closer to Amy, who moved farther away from him.
"Yeaaah. Thats why I said no." She said sarcastically.
"Enough of this. We need to get you all to camp." Elena said, getting serious again. "Unfortunately, we can't bring Jenny-Katherine, Jake, and Adonis with us, for you guys are mortal and cannot cross camp boundaries."
"Wait. So I wont be able to see Jen anymore?" Declan said, getting worried about seeing his girlfriend.
"Of course not! You guys can Iris Message, which we'll show you eventually, and you can still see her in the school year, if you leave camp and only come during summer, but right now you need to get some training." Michael said calmingly.
"Oh good. I guess we can go now." He said reluctantly.
Okay! So I know you guys are VERY pissed at me! To say the least! But I want to thank all the people who stood by me on my little *HUGE* hiatus. So massive thank you to you!
Next matter of business: As you probably all know, we can have picture covers for our stories now! I have absolutely NO photo-editing skills, so if anyone would be so kind as to make me a cover for this story and also 'IYCATAWWIB' holy crap why did I make that title so long? Anyway, I will promo you and give you credit.. EVERY chapter(: So please?
