Cresent Moon

Chapter 4: Marked

As promised, Chapter 4! Sorry about the name, again... I keep doing that for some reason

Oh! By the way! I kinda screwed up with Percy's age for those who knew that. Just like Annabeth, and Clarisse. Pardon the age differences, I know they are error, and I am sorry about that!

Just to help:

Ages:

Percy- 16

Annabeth- 16

Clarisse- 16

Loren- 15

Eve- 14

Nico- 15

Hope that clears things up! :)

Oh! And the people at Percy's Pizza Party (3P's!) are; Clarisse, Chris, Grover, Tyson, Rachel, Nico, Sally, Annabeth, Percy, and Eve.

/-Eve-\ (2nd Person)

She grabbed a piece of pizza and a coke, before walking over and sitting with Percy at the window, he was staring at a potted garden, a beautiful moonflower was sitting there, glowing. Taking her attention from the other plants, "Nice Flower, Jackson. You a Gardener now to?" She asked, grinning a him.

He looked over at Her, before smiling. "Hey." He said, She could tell he was tense, and a little uneasy. She nodded slightly, "Hey to yourself." She replied, looking back at the party, she saw Nico looking at her, she nodded in his direction, before looking outside. "I have a feeling you know exactly where that sword came from, and you know why it appeared. I also have a feeling that your not so normal yourself." She said, not even looking at him.

He looked away sheepishly, "Eve, I-""Save it, Percy." She said, leaning against the window frame, "I don't want to hear anything but the truth, and if you can't give me that, than you might as well tell me nothing." She said, finally looking at him.

He looked down at his hands, before he sighed, and looked dead-serious at her. "Want the Good news first, or the Bad?" He said, and she leaned back, "Slap me then pat me on the back." She said, she noticed the room had went deathly quiet, and all eyes were on them. She mentally groaned, 'Why me? The human side-show!' She thought to herself, waiting for Percy to start with his big news.

"Eve, You remember when we were studying the Greek God's in school right?" He said, She rolled her eyes, but nodded. He sighed, "What if I told you they were real?" He asked, She raised her eyebrow at that one. "I'd say you need to go see a Shrink and get some meds, you sound like a freaking quack!" She said, She got a few cough/chuckles for that one. He sighed again, "They're real. And so are Demigods." He said, She nodded, "Ok, If thats true,-" She heard sighs for that one "- What does it have to do with me?" She asked, crossing her arms.

He winced, "Because your one of us." He said, and stepped away from her, waiting for her to yell or scream. She remained emotionless, "Your wrong." She said, and he sighed again. "He's telling the truth." She jumped, and turned around so fast she knocked Nico down. Percy broke out laughing, and everyone one except Nico and Eve laughed.

She glared down at him before looking over to Percy again. "Your not joking... are you?" She asked, her hands clenched. She felt to arms suround her, and looked to see Ms. Sally hugging her, The older woman looked down at her and smiled, "Look," Percy said, She returned her attention back to Percy, "I know it's alot," He gave a dry, humorless laugh at that "To handle. And I can't offer you any reassurance that it won't get any better." He said taking a step closer, he grabbed her the hand that Sally wasn't holding, before smiling at her, the kind a brother gave a sister, the kind someone who's been through the very same the someone else was getting put through, "But I can say, that you won't be alone." He offered her a weak smile, which she returned with a weaker one that looked like a grimince.

He stepped away the same time Sally did, suddenly looking very serious, all she could think was 'did this boy have a personality complex or something?' before sitting back on the window still. She turned to the room, where everyone was staring at her, which was begining to unnerve her. "Am I that intresting?" She snapped at them, and most of them turned away with pink cheeks, except Clarrise, who was staring at her like a science project. She glared harshly at the teen, "Is something intresting, La Rue?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest, letting her annoyance slip on her face. Clarrise just stared at her for a moment before chuckling "Nope, ain't a child of Ares. Other wise she'd have thrown a chair at me." she told Percy, sitting back on the couch. She glared, "Don't tempt me, La Rue." She said, feeling even more unnerved than before.

Percy sighed, "She's not a Child of Posiden," At this Tyson looked sad, "I don't think she's a child of Zues." He said, and Nico chuckled, Before standing up, "Agreed, She's not cocky enough." Nico said, leaning against the spot she was lying earlier. She rolled her eyes at that, before looking at Percy again. He seemed to take the hint because he continued, "Nico's right about that, so that also leaves out Apollo, Dionysus, Ares, Artemis -for oblious reasons- Hera, Hermes. And Hephaestus. Because, -and you know this is true, Eve- she can't hammer a nail in correctly, let alone build anything" She gave him a nasty look for the last one but he continued as if she didn't "MOST Definetly not Aphrodite!" Everyone seemed not to suprised at that "Hades is out, because -from what Nico tells me- Persephone hasn't let him out of her sight after the whole 'Nico' issue." Someone in the room chuckled at this, of course, that might have been Nico "Persephone isn't it either. Can't be Hestia since you know, VIRGIN Goddess. Can't be Demeter, she hasn't once mentioned cereal the entire time I've known her. No offence Eve, but it can't be Athena either." Annabeth seemed a little sad at this "So who? A Minor God or Goddess maybe?" He asked, rubbing his temples, "Goddess." She said, and everyone looked at her, "Excuse me?" Annabeth asked, looking confused. "Goddess." She said again, pronucing it like they were idiots.

Annabeth looked shocked, "Now Eve, you don't know that, the Man raising you coul-""Don't you even finish that sentence!" She growled at the other girl, Everyone in the room froze, All of them staring right above her head, she looked up, and saw a symbol floating above her head. It was of a pentagram, with a Raven. A Cresent moon was above it, on it's side, then she realized, She had seen this symbol before. It was the symbol of Night. The Symbol of Nyx.

(Slight A/N images/search?q=nyx%27s+symbol&view=detail&id=&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR Check this if you want to see it! :) Back to story... NOW)

She looked back over to the others. Percy's mouth was opening and closing, Shock clearly written on his face. Annabeth was looking at the Symbol and muttering under her breath. Tyson was grinning ear-to-ear, trying to talk around his pizza. Grover was bleeting, and eating a... Soda can. Nico had a calm look of calculation on his face, looking at her every now and then, but mainly looking at the symbol. Sometimes somebody met her eyes, but they mainly stared at the symbol.

It took about 4 minutes before she finally snapped. "I know! It's a pretty symbol, can we please stop looking at it for one sec and tell me what the hell's going on!" She yelled, feeling her paitence snap like a twig. Percy frowned, and looked over to Sally, "Mom, could you call camp for us, tell them it's an emergancy." He said, and she was about to tell him to not talk to his Mom like that, but Sally just nodded, and ran out of the room.

He turned to me, "Okay, Eve. We're going somewhere, now you have to trust me on this one... You'll really be safer here." He said, and she raised an eye-brow. "It's a good thing it's summer-time." Grover said, putting on a hat, and picking up some crutches. She raised an eye-brow and turned to Percy. "Not a chance in hell am I going anywhere with you guys." She said, calmly, crossing her arms over her chest.

Percy groaned, "Please, Eve, for once in your life, just go along with things!" He growled, well sorta. Sounded more like a kitten trying to growl. She mentally laughed, but on the outside She kept her hard look. But the look of him begging was just to much. "Fine. Let me get my stuff." She said, and Percy looked relieved, "Great. Nico wi-""I'm going alone." She said, he looked tired, "But you'll be s-""I'm going alone." She pratically snarled, he sighed, and nodded, "Be quick!" He said, leading her to the door. When she was walking to the stairs, a new voice stopped her, "Eve?" She whirled, to see Nico standing there, She looked annoyed, "Yes, Nico?" She said, crossing her arms over her chest. He's brown eyes met her Blue ones, "Be safe." He whispered, and she just nodded, "Always am." She said, before turning around and walking down the stair.

2 pairs of eyes followed her, One Silver the Other Gold.

Be safe young one The body owned by the Silver eyes thought.

For you do not know the Dangers that lie ahead. The body owned by the Gold eyes thought, before they both vanished, out of sight.
