Heyyyy! This is kinda short but hey, I'm only human. Or am I…

Anyway this is the best I could do. I have homework and stuff so…

I own nothing. Except for myself.

Annabeth walked through the streets of New Jersey with her friends, Thalia and Luke. Well, she says friends. They were more like her family. Ever since they picked her up in an alleyway in Virginia they had kept her safe from all the monsters that chased them around.

Once they were in the woods and out of view of anything normal, Luke and Thalia set Annabeth down beneath a tree with all of their stuff. They walked away to find food, leaving the blonde seven year old to amuse herself with whatever she could find nearby.

"You look really tan in that knife."

Annabeth jumped away, turning to see a girl with brown eyes and short, messy, brown hair. She didn't look all that threatening, with her grey hoodie and jean shorts, but Annabeth knew better than to trust a stranger in the woods.

"G-go away!" she shouted, hoping Luke and Thalia would hear her.

"Hey, clam down, I'm not going to hurt you." The girl raised her hands in a sign of surrender. "I don't got any weapons on me. Not that I need them anyway…"

"Stop!" Luke yelled, brandishing his knife(?) as he came out of the bushes. Thalia closely followed, holding out Aegis. Unlike most monsters, the girl was not affected by the hideous face on Thalia's shield.

"Cool your boots, children. Chill out." Said the girl.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Thalia demanded, raising her shield and grabbing Annabeth.

The girl sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose as if the three demigods annoyed her.

"Fine, let's start over. I am Stevie. And you are Annabeth, Luke, and Thalia."

Luke narrowed his eyes.

"Have you been following us?"

"Haha, no. But I have been following your story. So I know somewhat of what you've been through, but I haven't been following you. I'm not a creepy stalker or something like that. Well…"

"What are you, if you're not a monster?" Annabeth asked, stepping out from behind Thalia's legs.

"I'm a normal mortal. Well, not normal… wait, you can't know anything. Yeah, I'm a totally normal mortal!"

"Then how do you know us?"

Stevie disregarded their questions.

"I'm not really s'posed to be interfering, but when have rules ever stopped me. Anywho, I best be getting back. Wouldn't want to stall you in your quest. Here some money, home slice." Stevie said, tossing Luke a wad of cash. They stared at it. This would buy them food and clothes for a month!

"Uh… thank you?"

"You're welcome. I gotta go, but see ya later. If I ever show up again, it'd best if you gave me a warm welcome, unlike some kelp-headed buttmunches I know." Stevie muttered the last part, but the other still heard it. "Okay bye!"

Stevie walked behind a tree and vanished.

Second chapter! Yeah! Again, PM me or review if you have somewhere specific you want me to show up or something you want me to do. Until next time!
