Hi again! I've decided to change the title of this story. I have my reasons lol. And I can't believe I forgot to put a disclaimer. When I was about to sleep, I was like, "I FORGOT TO PUT A DISCLAIMER! NOOO!" And yeah… So now I shall put the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything except my OCs and the plot.

Annabeth POV
We met Grover at Goode, and he was pretty happy to see us again. Being the Lord of the Wild must be pretty hard. "G-Man! What's up?" Percy shouted in the hallway. A few girls were ogling at him and they were wearing about 10 pounds of makeup. And a few guys were glaring at him. But never mind them. I gave Grover a hug. "Grover! How are you?" I greeted. He grinned. "I've missed you guys. The demigod you're looking for is a freshman, probably around Nico's age. But we have a small problem…." His grin vanished and he suddenly looked worried. I tensed. I had a feeling there was a monster in the school. Then a girl with dirty blonde hair walked past us. She looked at us for a second, then turned to her friend. "That's Alexis." Grover whispered. Percy stiffened. "The demigod?" he asked. I rolled my eyes. "Obviously…. Seaweed Brain.." I muttered. Percy scoffed. Then he started laughing. I shook my head. "Ms. Cruz!" we heard across the hallway. Grover started panicking. "Grover, relax. It's just a teacher." Percy said. I face-palmed. "Gods, Percy, are you that much of a Seaweed Brain?" I asked. Percy looked at me for a minute, gods, he was so cute. I remember that time when—STOP! ADHD! STOP! Then he seemed to get it. We looked at Grover. "Is that him?" I asked. Grover nodded. "That's… that's the monster." Percy was about to reach for his pocket and run for the monster's classroom, but I stopped him. "Percy… we have to wait first." I said. He was about to protest, but I shook my head. We started talking about Camp, like what's going on and all that stuff. "But Juniper's okay, right?" Grover asked. Percy and I nodded. Then we heard a scream. Or, Grover heard it actually. We ran for the classroom.
Alexis POV
I wondered if my scream was loud enough. The skeleton dude choked me more. That's it. I was going to die. This is the end of my life. At least mom won't hurt me anymore. And maybe I'll find out who my dad is when I'm dead. Maybe he'll be at my funeral or something. "Hush, daughter of-" Then suddenly, the 3 seniors I saw busted in. The boy with black hair was holding a sword, and the blonde girl was holding a dagger. The other senior had… hooves? "Ble-eh-eh!" he bleated. "Don't hurt her!" the girl warned. The boy glared. "I thought I sent you back to Tartarus." Wait. What? Did he say Tartarus? Like that Greek place for monsters or something? I have got to be dreaming. The skeleton smiled evilly. "Do not worry, Son of Poseidon. This is only the beginning of Gaea's last words." The boy with the sword slashed him, and the skeleton turned into yellow dust. I suddenly noticed I couldn't breathe well. It was as if someone was still choking me. I couldn't believe what I saw. I was trying to breathe, but I couldn't. The blonde girl came up to me. "It's okay, it's okay.. breathe slowly." I started to go slow, but it was still tight. Then I went slower. It was getting better, but I still needed air. Slower, breath slower…I thought to myself. I was able to breathe normal again. The blonde girl smiled. "Good, good. What's your name?" she asked. The black-haired guy rolled his eyes. "We already know her name, Annabeth." He said. She glared at him. "Oh, shut up, Seaweed Brain." She turned to me. "I'm Annabeth. What's your name?" she asked me again. "A-Alexis. My name's Alexis." I stuttered. The senior, Grover, I suddenly remembered his name, went up to me. "What did you see?" Seriously? I thought. I've just been choked by my math teacher who turned out to be a skeleton and you ask me what I saw? I cleared my throat. "Mr. Lee was calling me, so I came here. Then he asked me about my life at home. I said no, and he started creeping me out so I ran for the door. But he caught me and started choking me. I tried to let out a scream and then you guys came." Annabeth nodded. "Who are you guys anyways? How did you know I was here? Why did Mr. Lee turn into a skeleton? How—" The black hair dude cut me off. "You know the Greek Gods and monsters and all that stuff in Greek Mythology?" He asked. I didn't know where this was going, so I nodded. Annabeth stepped up. "Well, all that stuff are real. You may not believe it now, but you were just attacked by a skeleton warrior. Think about it." And I did. I remembered how I'd see these dogs that looked like hellhounds and these snake ladies. I fought them, but I never told anyone. Not even the 3 people I trust most. I was scared, and the more I thought about it, the more it all made sense. "But why was I the only one who could see the monsters? No one else could, so I decided not to bring it up…. And you didn't tell me your name yet." I pointed to the black haired guy. "Percy Jackson. I'm Annabeth's…. boyfriend.." the two of them blushed. Percy Jackson… That name sounded familiar. Then it hit me. "You. You were in the news. I talked about it at lunch, but no one seemed to believe me. You jumped into the river. In- in the arch." He nodded. "Who are you people?" I whispered. Annabeth knelt down and looked me in the eyes. "We're demigods. You're a demigod. Half-mortal, half-god." I looked at her in shock. "So… who is my dad?" Grover came up. "We don't know yet. You should have been claimed when you were 13, but I don't know. You'll have to come with us, Alexis." He gave me a hand and I got up. "But.. my friends… my mom…" I thought about it. If I went, my mom probably wouldn't bother. I could tell my friends that I'm going for a vacation. No one else would care. No one else would notice. I sighed. "I'll go." I told them. Just then, Carmelita came into the classroom.
"Alexis."
Carmelita POV
I waited for Alexis in the hallway. The three seniors we passed were still standing. Grover, the senior that had crutches, was looking panicked. So was the guy with black hair. But the girl was calm. Then they started running into the classroom. I was about to follow, but Andrea Tyler came up to me with her pink high-heels and her pink mini dress. And yes, she was wearing about 10 pounds of makeup. More than the little girls in Toddlers and Tiaras combined. She was walking with her plastic friends. (Seriously, they are plastic. Trying to look prettier than the Barbie dolls, eh?) "Oh my, what are you wearing Caramelta?" Andrea had a pretend shock face, along with a massive fail Spanish accent. Her lips were bigger than Jessica Rabbit's. (Not that I have anything against Jessica Rabbit.) "First of all, Andrea, I'm wearing decent clothes. Unlike you. Second, I'm wearing decent shoes. Third, I don't pay the principal to make my grades higher, Fourth, your Spanish accent is horrible, and third, my name is Carmelita. Of course, I don't expect you to get it right, because you have no brain at all. Dumb-fakeass." Andrea rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Caramel. I just wanted you to know that you are really ugly, have no sense of humor, and forever alone. You have an ugly ass." I snapped my fingers at her. "Whatever." I started to walk to the math class, getting worried about Alexis. But Andrea pulled my hair and pushed me to her friends. I groaned. "What do you want now?" I demanded. Andrea's balloon lips formed a small smile. "Oh, nothing. Just a little… business." They moved in. They were holding out makeup stuff. So that's what they're doing. They're going to ruin my face. I know how to take care of this. They moved in a little more closer and were about to start poking me as hard as they could, but I blurted out, "Just so you know, I took a bath in my mom's homemade cheese. Don't worry, I rinsed." They soon ran away to the restroom and Andrea was looking at her hands like they were filled with blood or something. They were all screaming. Hmph. I continued walking, to find Alexis in a mess. Her hair was messy, her throat was little red, and she looked like she'd been raped. She was talking to the seniors, all three who had pleading faces. "Alexis."
Nico POV
I sat down with Chiron. I was feeling a little nervous, and I couldn't keep still in my seat. "So what exactly did Gaea say to you?" he asked. Tell him, I thought. I cleared my throat. "Something about me being crushed more than it already is… I don't understand Chiron.. Does she mean that I'll have another sister who will leave me again? What does it mean exactly?" I questioned. Thinking of how she'll crush my soul made me wince. If she was planning on killing me, I wouldn't really have a problem with that. I'd be with Bianca and my mom. If you ever go into Elysium, you made some bad choices on Earth. I slumped. Now I was having a conversation with myself. Chiron thought for a minute, then looked at me. "I might not be right, Nico, but perhaps she'll try to get someone who is close to you." He said gravely. Even if what he said was pretty scary, I actually took it pretty calm. I thought about it for a moment. There aren't much people close to me. There's just Percy and maybe Annabeth, but I think that's about it. And probably Thalia and Hazel, too. Thalia and I have gotten closer over the war, and ever since then we've been like siblings. Then it hit me. I looked at Chiron with worry. "You don't think she might try to kill them… right, Chiron?" I asked nervously. He shook his head. "This might someone a little different. After all, the people who are the closest to you are very powerful. I don't think Gaea could kill anyone while she's asleep. So don't worry about it, and I'll tell the gods. They'll think of something, I guess. I nodded and asked Chiron about some normal stuff. Like the weather, or what's going on, stuff like that. There wasn't really much to talk to, so I decided to go to the arena. I battled a few kids, but then I got bored so I went to the Hades cabin. I lay on my bed, thinking of the words Gaea said. (AN: Hey, that rhymes! :D) I decided to put it aside and went to sleep. I silently prayed I'd have a dreamless sleep. And I did.
Alexis POV
I walked home with Carmelita. We both learned that Louis and Rick had gotten detention for 'talking' too much. Carmelita told me about her encounter with Andrea, and I just laughed. Those girls would stay away from anything that would make them fat. Even if it wasn't edible. It explains why they weigh 85 pounds. They are going to die of starvation. I thought about what Grover, Annabeth, and Percy said. Maybe I should go. They told me I didn't need to pack anyway. I could just meet them near the Empire State Building and we'll go on our merry way. But what would my mom do? What would Lita, Louis, and Rick do? Won't they feel hurt? I shook my head. We reached my house. "Are you sure, Lex? Will you be okay?" she asked me. She had gotten suspicious of PAG. You know, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover? Never mind. I smiled at her. "I'll be fine." I replied. I gave her a hug and entered my house. My mom looked at me. "Why are you late?" I tensed. I hoped what happened last night wouldn't happen again. "Uhm, my math teacher needed some help with the papers. Nobody volunteered, so I did. He gave me credit." I half-lied. Annabeth was able to use the Mist on the principal. Gave me extra credit. It was pretty awesome. My mom narrowed her eyes. "How much?" she asked suspiciously. I answered her straight. "Plus 25 for helping with the papers, plus 10 for putting them together orderly, and plus 10 for cleaning the classroom." My mom looked contented. Good. I nodded and walked up to my room to do homework.
Time skip! Time skip! Time skip! Time skip! Time skip! Time skip!
I checked my watch. 8:30 PM. My mom went to bed early this time, so that made things easier. I was wearing black jeans, and a plain black shirt. I also brought a few things that were important to me. My panda hat, and my iPod. My mom never kept pictures, so that was all I had. I made sure to turn my iPod off, because Annabeth told me they could attract monsters. I closed the door to my room quietly, and made sure to lock the door of the house. I grabbed my favorite (and only) shoes, and ran for the ESB. I saw Percy, Annabeth, and Grover and went up to them. "You don't have a lot of stuff." Percy noted. I shrugged. "My mom never really bought me stuff. Just food, and a few clothes. The rest of my stuff are hand-me-downs. The panda hat and iPod were gifts. Carmelita bought the hat and Rick and Louis paid for the money together." I told them. Annabeth smiled. "We'll make sure you'll be able to keep in touch with them." She assured me. I smiled at her. "Well, let's go now! I can't wait to see the look on your face when you see Camp!" Grover said brightly. He wasn't wearing any pants, so all he had was his fur. No offense. Annabeth pulled out a golden coin. "Stethi, O harma diaboles" she chanted. For some reason I understood what she said. 'Stop, Chariot of Damnation'. She then threw the coin into the road, and it fell in it. Like seriously, it fell in it. Then a taxi appeared. We got in and I couldn't believe what I saw. The Gray Sisters. "Where to?" one asked. "They obviously want to go to their camp, Persis, you twat!" the other one scolded. There weren't seat belts, but there were black chains. I put them on along with the others. "Hold on tight.." Persis, the driver, grinned evilly. The car started speeding up. I get carsick easily, so I nearly puked. They were driving as if there was nothing was in their way. They kept begging each other for the eye and the tooth, so we nearly crashed every 5 seconds. When they finally stopped. I got out of the taxi. Grover grinned. "Welcome to Half-Blood Hill, Alexis."
Sorry if Nico was too OOC. I went for archery and swimming today, and I was really having fun so I didn't really think up anything. Gommenasai. I'll try to update sooner. Hope you loved it! :D If you want to give me any ideas, just PM me! Please review! Because, reviews make me excited. And I get more ideas from excitement. The good excitement, not the bad one. Saranghaeyo! Bye! For now! xD
