Oh, hello! :D Sorry if my updates take longer than usual, because I have been quite busy in the summer. I have summer class in a few minutes, on the 6th (which is my birthday, btw) there'll be a summer camp that I gotta attend, and I have reading homework from my Language Arts teacher, I don't really mind, but it's been keeping me busy, so you can't really expect faster updates or more chapters. So this chapter will be about Amelia. Just her POV, so I'm very sorry about that.

Disclaimer: Yes, I do not own Percy and the others. Just my OCs. And the plot.

Amelia (Ms. Cruz) POV

I was very glad that my daughter, Alexis Marie, had gotten extra credit from her math teacher. I do believe that she should keep it up until, well, I want her to be successful. And, of course, I don't plan on telling her that she's a…. you-know-what. (AN: Dursley much? xD) I hope she does not suspect after my little… scene. Ugh. Hermes. I can't believe I trusted that "man." I can't believe he even asked me to bring her into a camp. Said it would keep her 'safe'. Well, I don't want to bring my daughter to a camp full of those foolish "demigods".
Ugh. Sure, there have been a few monsters every now and then, but they didn't hurt her! I checked the clock. It was 30 minutes before Alexis' school starts. I stormed to her room. The lady needs to hurry up, before I break her iPod (it is SUCH a distraction). I knocked on the door. "Alexis Marie, hurry up! What are you waiting for?! Chinese New Year?!" I yelled. There was no response, so I opened the door myself. There was no one. I checked the restroom. Nothing… I turned and noticed her shoes weren't there. Funny. Alexis doesn't go to school very early. I called her other 3 'friends'. She wasn't there. I decided to report this to the police. They checked surveillance cameras everywhere in New York. I waited, and after a few hours, they called me to the station. I drove my Mercedes Benz (that's what happens when you focus on your studies and have a good job) and ran inside. A police officer shook my hand. "Good morning, Ms. Cruz. I am Officer Brad Johnson," he said. "Have you found my daughter? Where is she?" I asked worriedly. I barely get worried about Alexis, but my feelings can get the best of me sometimes. Officer Johnson led me to a room where they controlled the cameras. "Your daughter, Alexis, was seen outside the Empire State Building with a few other kids," he said. I balled my fists. So the 2 boys and that Spanish girl was in this, huh? I looked at him. "Show me the video." I said darkly. Officer Johnson turned to his fellow officer and whispered something. He motioned for me to come over. There, I saw Alexis running to three kids. Since I was a 'clear-sighted mortal' as Apollo said, I saw that one had hooves. I nearly barfed. I can't believe Alexis was friends with people, scratch that, delinquents like these. She should have been friends with Andrea Tyler instead. She is the first in their class, even if she wears the most inappropriate clothes. Alexis was talking to the three other kids. I heard someone come in, and there was Alexis' friends. The ones that she's been with every time. "Ms. Cruz…" the girl, who I remember as Carmelita, the Spanish one, said. There were tears in her eyes. The other two boys looked sullen. They watched the video in disbelief. "She…she ran away…" one of the boys, Rick, said. Carmelita started crying into the other one's shoulder. He was hugging her. I was very taken aback. These kids acted like Alexis was their sister or something. I cleared my throat. "The three of you, I would like to speak with you. Please, join me for some ice cream back at the house. We can discuss things about Alexis." I said. They nodded and Carmelita stopped crying. Rick was tearing up. Alexis' runaway had taken and great impact on them. We got to the house, and we had some printed reports and the pictures of Alexis outside the building. "These kids… they're seniors. I remember them. The one with the hooves…he was watching Alexis for some time." Carmelita said. She didn't even seemed bothered by the hooves. Rick and the other boy, Louis, grabbed the picture. "Hooves?! The guy has hooves!" Rick said. Louis glared at the photo. "No… there's no way he would do something like this." He said shakily. "You know this boy?" I asked. He nodded. "He's Grover. Grover Underwood. Said he was looking for some girl. I never thought it would be Alexis." He said quietly. "And those two other kids. When I went inside Mr. Lee's classroom, they looked at her like…. They wanted her to go somewhere. I asked Alexis about them, but she always changed the subject. I should have watched her. I texted her, but she didn't reply. I called her, but she wouldn't answer. They probably did something horrible to her." Carmelita choked out. She cried in frustration. Just then, there was a knock on the door. I ran to the door, expecting it to be the police, but no. It was Hermes.

Hermes.

Alexis' dad.

"How…how could you?" a tear escaped my eye. I suddenly started yelling. "HERMES! HERMES, HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY CHILD! HOW DARE YOU USE OTHERS TO KIDNAP HER! HOW DARE YOU! Did you take care of her? No. You left right when she was born. You left her, you left me! You left us for other women! GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD!" I screamed at him. He started glowering at me. There was suddenly thunder and strong rain outside. He slammed the door behind him. "Your child? Your child, Amelia?! You made the girl suffer! You never let her out of the house except for school, you hurt her! You hurt my daughter!" he shouted, and there was a storm brewing. He continued, "You've treated her like she was trash, and do you know how hard it was, watching her get hurt and being called a monster?! Do you?! Oh ,no you don't! You were the one who caused the pain! The pain to Alexis, the pain to me! I told you why I left you! But you decided to make lies. I thought you were smart. I thought you could be trusted with a child." He got a gold coin out of his pocket, and threw it in the little fountain model at the living room table. He muttered something. A rainbow shimmered, and Alexis was there.
