Note: Hey guys! I really do apologize for the delay for this chapter, I know I said it would be up on August 5, but I unfortunately got ill for the past weeks and had tons on my schedule. My school is starting again next week and I haven't got my uniform yet. (Yes, we have a uniform.) I just want you guys to know that every chapter I post, I make sure that I am good with it and that you guys are.

Please also understand that this fan fiction is far different from other usual Percy Jackson take ons. I try to make it as original as possible and as interesting as possible. Please give it a chance and keep reading!

Thank you for all your follows and favorites and I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter.

Love you!

Denise's Pov

I looked over at Percy and Annabeth as I wondered what I said to mute them. I certainly don't remember saying anything foul, right? I hope so. "I'm sorry, did I say anything.." I said. Annabeth snapped out of her thoughts and smiled at me, shaking her head. "No, I just remembered something." She replied.

I felt a rush of gladness and relief rush to me. I took a deep breath and smiled, "Okay, I thought there was something I said. If you don't mind, I'm going to approach Chiron about where I'm going to stay." I said. Annabeth nodded and smiled, "No problem." She said.

"Great, thanks!" I said as I nodded before walking away. I think there was something more they wanted me to know, I am not certain what it is, but I hope it has nothing to affect anything in a negative manner. Now, where could I possibly find Chiron..

Third Person's Pov

"She's pretty, Perce." Grover said, with a slight teasing hint glinting through his voice. Grover went ahead and patted Percy's back, while Percy continued to ignore Grover's teasing statements. "No offence, but you're making it so noticeable that you like her." Grover laughed.

Percy shook his head at Grover and stood beside Annabeth. There was not a doubt that Percy possibly felt more for Annabeth, but there was something about Denise that struck his admiration. Fairly said, it wasn't only because of her physical appearance.

"I won't deny she is." Percy mumbled.

"You like her, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth teased, nudging him with her elbow towards his arm. Percy rolled his eyes and scoffed at Annabeth. "But I could tell she's not just one of those girls you can't get by a snap of a finger, Percy. Which is one of the reasons why I like her already!" Annabeth continued to tease him.

"Okay, let's say you do like Denise, yet she shut you down like that!" Grover said, snapping his fingers. "Welcome to the friend zone, buddy." Grover said, putting an arm around Percy. Percy moved and glared at Grover.

"Shut up, Grover. I get it, friend zoned, I must be the luckiest guy ever." Percy sarcastically scoffed. He refused to admit his liking to the hazel-eyed beauty, yet he didn't want to admit his liking for Annabeth either.

Denise had just finished speaking to Chiron about her schedules, her cabin and the activities. She approached Percy, Annabeth and Grover, who were all sat back by the lake. "Hey guys, I got my schedule and all. If it isn't much trouble, can anyone of you show me where my cabin is?" She asked.

She still quite felt shy and weary about asking for help to people she had just met about two hours ago. Although, she felt unusually comfortable to talking to them rather than other campers around Camp Half blood.

Grover smirked and pushed Percy closer towards her, "He wouldn't mind, would you Percy?" Grover sheepishly asked. Percy glared at Grover before facing her as he scratched the nape of his neck, "Let's go?" Percy asked.

Denise didn't feel as comfortable around Percy as she did with Annabeth and Grover, she didn't know what made it awkward but it was definite. She stayed silent and nodded as both walked away towards the cabins.

Denise's Pov

I walked towards the cabins with Percy, and I can't deny that it's currently merely awkward. We didn't make a single peep, not a letter nor even a single sound. "How do you feel about being here?" He said. The first thought that entered my mind was that he finally said something.

"I admit it's quite hard to take the facts in, in one go. It feels like my life just flashed before my eyes." I said, stopping as I looked at him. He pressed his lips together and nodded, "I know how you feel. I've been through it." He said. "It'll get better, I promise." He smiled.

I couldn't help but smile back, he's actually quite nice, I guess?. I understand that it's wrong to judge people by your first impression but I honestly thought of him as a stereotypical guy you see everyday. Maybe I was wrong, maybe Percy's different. Who am I to judge.

We stopped in front of this wide built structure. It was mostly made of marble, pillars by the sides and a statue of a rebuilding fire. It had a Greek writing carved by the entrance that said 'Serenity will come upon you.'. "This is it. Niveria's cabin." Percy said, maintaining an eye on the structure.

"Thanks for your help. I'll look forward to tomorrow?" I said, a faint smile planted on my face. He chuckled and nodded, his sea-green eyes glinted as they planted on mine. "It's nice to meet you." He said, with a slight nod. He went ahead and walked away afterwards.

I took a deep breath before opening the polished bronze doors, a bright light welcomed my presence. It wasn't a light that would blind your eyes, it was a light that would give you comfort. It was decorated with a very light shade of blue, the walls were, at least. There was a section for a small archery change by one side.

The other side contained a maximum of only four beds, not bunked but on the floor. There were stacks of bookshelves filled with books beside the beds and a small fireplace. It wasn't too large but it wasn't small at all, it was an okay space. There were marble floors and a couple of paintings hung on the wall.

It was a stunning place, I felt a rush of comfort and protection when I entered and still do I now. This is definitely going to be a change of scenery for myself, a change in everything in fact. I have to accept that from this day forward that I am never going to be the same, or normal even, hence the fact I was never normal in the first place.

This is a start of a new story, and it is certainly fair to say that I'd like to see how it goes and how it end.

I woke up with a reassuring weight lifted off my shoulders. I took a shower before getting some clothes from my backpack I brought. I put on a Camp Half-blood shirt I received yesterday and a pair of denim jeans with White chucks.

Breakfast had just finished a couple of minutes ago and I had a scheduled meeting for Ancient Greek with Annabeth at exactly 9:00. Chiron handed me the necessary things I needed, like the shirt and the schedules and things like that.

I walked towards Athena's cabin, and to my luck Annabeth had only just gotten out of the cabin. I briskly walked towards her and tapped on her shoulder, "Oh hi, Annabeth. I think I have a scheduled session for Ancient Greek today?" I said. She looked at me and smiled, "Perfect, I have a session with Percy too." She said.

"You can teach us both?" I asked. Annabeth and I started walking towards Poseidon's cabin while we talked. "Of course, why not?" Annabeth responded. We arrived in front of the cabin as Annabeth knocked on the door, "Open the door, Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth exclaimed, continuously slamming her fist on the door.

Percy answered, wearing his usual orange Camp Half-blood shirt and a pair of denim pants and shoes. He looked at Annabeth with a slightly sheepish smile, as he leaned on the wall. "Good morning, Wise Girl." He said.

Annabeth, in response, rolled her eyes but smiled. "Ready for Ancient Greek?" She asked. Percy noticed me standing beside Annabeth, his smile faded and an agitated look was planted on his face. "If it's too much trouble, I'll just ask Chiron to reschedule-" I said, preparing to walk away. Is my company that bad, it agitates people?

Hell, I hope not.

"No, no. It's fine." Percy said, taking a soft grasp of my wrist. He and I looked at each other before pulling our hands away. I shook my head and looked at Annabeth, then back at Percy. "You sure, I mean-" I said, but he cut me off. "Positive." He answered.

"Okay! Let's do this." Annabeth said, clapping her hands together, once.

We had just finished the session, that honestly seemed like forever. It wasn't bad at all, it was actually quite interesting, it's just the tension that builds up. Whenever tensions arise, I feel the need to run away from the situation, which is indeed one of my many flaws.

We headed towards the archery range for self- training. Annabeth, Percy and I were going to train on mostly archery skills, and things as of that. I came to see Grover and a girl had started with their training already. "Hey, Thalia." Annabeth said, a grin planted on her face as she high- fived with the girl.

The girl had short raven black hair that barely went until her shoulders. She wore more of gothic styled type clothes, but had a seemingly tiara placed on her head. She had electric blue eyes, that were somewhat intriguing. "Ooh, who's your friend?" She asked, pointing at me as she walked closer.

She examined me from head to toe, "Denise Diametrie, daughter of Niveria." Annabeth said, placing her hand on my shoulder. Thalia placed a rather less intriguing look on her face as she smiled, "I would have guessed Aphrodite." Thalia responded. "Nice to meet you." She held a hand out as I shook it.

We pulled our hands away from each other. "Alright, we should start on archery, shall we?" Thalia said. Everyone nodded in response, We all stood in front of the target boards, a couple yards away. I grabbed a bow and a quiver filled with arrows. "Grover, you go first." Percy said.

Grover looked at Percy and nodded, before firing an arrow at the target. Good to say, he almost hit a bull's eye, probably a couple centimeters away by the left. Annabeth went afterwards, she easily hit the bull's eye in quick about as a snap of a finger. Thalia, as well easily hit the bulls eye.

Percy, not so much, his arrow was fairly far away from the bull's eye. Maybe, archery isn't his forte, eh, what can we do. I heard Percy grumble under his breath as Grover started laughing, Percy then, socked Grover on the arm with his bow. "Ow!" Grover shrieked.

"You can get closer if you'd like." Thalia said. They were clearly going easy on me, because I'm new, I can't blame them. I probably look like I've never been associated with self-defense or fighting in my life. "I think I'll be fine." I said, a smile planted on my face.

I looked back at the target board, and quickly shot the arrow. Not at all in my surprise, the arrow hit the bull's eye. I looked back at them, seemingly shocked looks planted on their faces, "I've taken archery lessons since I was little, I'm pretty familiar with archery." I shortly explained. Grover nodded and shrugged, "Fair enough."

We continued on archery for a maximum of two hours. I'm exhausted as heck, my fingers feel like breaking from all the fast shooting we've been doing. Fairly lucky for all of us, archery's almost done in about, well. Now.

We all placed our bows and our quivers back where they belonged. "Alright, I'm off to Sword-fighting with Clarisse." Percy said. We all nodded, we started to disperse the place when I accidentally slipped on a medium sized smooth rock. I unintentionally bumped into Percy, causing him to fall and I with him.

I opened my eyes to see myself on top of him. I felt paralyzed, I couldn't seem to react as quick as I normally do. Gods, spare me from this situation. Goodness gracious.

Well, that's about it for this chapter. I apologize once again for the time it took for this chapter to release but as I said from the start, I have been very busy lately and I've worked on this chapter for a couple of days now. Right now, my school starts in three days, yes, three days and I am grieving for that day to come.

Never the less, I hope you guys somewhat enjoyed that chapter and are still kept interested in the story. Please leave your reviews, for they are most valued! I love you all!
