A/N: Ok so this chapter is pretty bad, it's not action packed like some of my other ones. I'm going to Quebec, Canada, so I may not be updating any time soon. Thanks-F.H

When you see beauty what do you think of? Do you think of a pretty flower, or maybe a Picasso's portrait of Lady in Waiting? Or maybe a piece of music so beautiful it touches the soul, but when I saw her that was what was beauty. She swam in a marble pool that was planted into the living room floor. She had grabbed the edge and got up and sat on the edge. Her tan body much like Pearl's was in some what in a way like a model's body. Her hair was glossy and sleek; she slipped a sea shelled cover up on over her bikini. Her eyes though, almost like the depths of the ocean, almost the green to a black. So green that my eyes looked like plain day compared to hers. They were dark and mysterious, so intricate and complex. Her body was toned and muscles shone under her bronze skin. She made Pearl's beauty look like it was just pretty, compared to her she was a Greek god… a true Greek god.

Pearl walked to her, tapped her on the shoulder and showed her, own Poseidon's ring. The sisters froze in shock as when the rings started to break out a melody so beautiful and sweet the melody ended and the girl got up and looked at Pearl.

"I'm not her… I can't be." She said quietly, but her voice was like velvet and soft. Like a lullaby to a sleepy baby. Like the other half to a broken heart.

"You have to be…" Pearl said, "This is Dad's home in the summer."

"He's not my father, please don't say that." I saw Annabeth's expression she had a plan.

"I don't believe, you're this prophecy subject. I don't believe your Cartivalica."

"Don't call me that!" She shrieked the waves down below at the beach rose to the size of the Chrysler Building. Her fury that awoke in her soft eyes was fierce and scary I ran to Phoenix as an instinct, he forgot for a second her was angry at me and wrapped his arms around me, but then we both remembered we weren't together…

But I did the best I could to protect myself, as her voice echoed through the empty halls of the penthouse, the cracks began to break in the marble.

"Ah, crap, not again!" She threw a hand up and the silence that followed was uneventful. Jason joined in Annabeth's plan,

"Ok so what, hot body, powerful war cry, can make waves pretty big, big whoop!"

"Ha, my dear boy you shouldn't have said that…" Cartivalica said her eyes beginning to become engraved with anger, looking into the sea of anger. She smiled slyly, and then within a second she was holding a golden knife to his throat. "You know how the Romans killed my dear Jason don't you? First they liked to be so neat and daunting, but then they would get tired and slice the victim's miserable head off. You don't want to turn out like that, do you my boy?" Her eyes seemed to be happy and glad.

"No I don't, but show me the double sword play…" His words echoed and she leaped off him,

"Don't give me a reason too." She walked out of the room and we followed. She stripped her cover up and then put a tank top on and ripped jean shorts. Jason moved with striking speed and held a knife to her neck now.

"Show me the double sword play." She just smiled, moved her hand in a slow moving motion then the ground crumbled and he fell into the ditch she created in the marble.

"Do that again, it will be your head. Roman style." She slipped on a necklace with a tiny clear glass frame, inside was water that moved and swishing along inside was a tooth, with a golden top. A shark tooth.

"Cartivalica, please." Pearl begged.

"I said, don't call me that! My name isn't Cartivalica, that was my old name…I'm Carlina now… Fine I'll admit, I'm the recreation of Cartivalica, but please don't take me with you. I've lived a peaceful life here and-" The glass crashed in and a monster, that spooked me, only a Furi, growled at her but she snapped her fingers and the Earth shook, then something happened the ground went upward and formed into a hand, the hand reached and crushed the Furi into a million pieces of dust. "Anyway as I was saying, I've lived a some what peaceful life, please don't take that away." She begged us; her eyes showing true pleating her voice would make any person fall to their knees and beg for her forgiveness.

"What the heck!" Piper snapped, "Your charm speaking! I would know it anywhere."

"Fine, I guess I've had a little bit of practice from Aphrodite. But I'm not as good as the goddess herself."

"Well no dip you're not better then the goddess. Listen I'm a charmspeaker, I do it, I live it. That's what one of my frekin sweet gifts is as being an Aphrodite daughter."

"Yeah did you mention, annoying, greedy, can't wait to break a heart, leaving men to die, can't wait to go shopping every two seconds, perky and way too pretty, and also too damn girly, to your list of "frekin sweet gifts"?"

"What did you just say?" Piper said her voice rising in anger.

"Oh you heard me pretty girl, you definitely heard me. As clear as day."

Piper's words made me even ponder a little bit about what she said. Her voice radiated through my soul and her voice carried a powerful beat.

"You have no idea, who you're dealing with…" She hissed.

"I think I do. Yo Jason, you still want the double sword play. Well this is it." Carlina grabbed her sword that was a beautiful pristine gold and then started to move in an elegant way, almost like a dancer. Pearl got so excited, her eyes lit up with excitement,

"Double Sword Play, only can be created by the lovely yours truly, Carlina. It's when she starts out using Greek fighting style, then it turns Roman to violent and deadly." She started to jump a little, I looked at her weird. Leo came over and said he couldn't stress enough how exciting this was to Pearl. Pearl turned to him and looked him straight in the eye and then started to jump up and down, squealing. I rolled my eyes then turned back to the lovely graceful moves Carlina delicately asserted. Then she slowly turned and faced Jason, her sword artfully grazed his arm, he gave a look to her. But yet Carlin carried on with her death dance she then stopped in a quarter spin and her look on her face changed and a light came on in her eyes that showed anger and fierceness. She leaped on him, as much as he struggled she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, then swung herself around and hit him on the head. He fell to the ground, then she violently held him down with a foot, he struggled to get up but her leg was strong. She then let go and he leaped out of the way of the aim of her blade. But she was smarter then he thought. She flipped her blade onto the ground and it spun and tripped him, he fell to the ground once more and she held the blade to his neck.

"Romans were playful with their kill, but the Greeks went for them with no mercy. I had two tutors, the Greek one named Morcius, the Greek arts instructor, and Morillius, the Roman Arts. Poseidon said if I were to become the gifted powerful child the prophecy spoke of I would go to Morcius, as Neptune he urged me to see Morillius. I was trained to the bitter core of myself, and then beaten crazily by my tutors; they tried to absolutely turn me into the sour warriors that ran through what was the famous Greek and Roman Empires. They can't take away from me though." She flipped the sword in her hand then slipped it into the scalpel, "I suggest you not ask to see me fight, it might end in your death. Now about this boy, our brother."

"Yes Percy, he's located in the Roman Camp, and he's trapped there we think. We need your help finding him; do you think you can do it?"

"Duh, that's easy. I could probably give you the directions in less then a second. I've been there once, and to that Camp Half Blood too, Camp Grey Stone, that was better though Morillius wanted me to go there. My tutors often bickered which camp I would go to."

"Camp Grey Stone?" I asked.

"Ah, sorry. The Roman Camp, I learned all my Latin there. By the way, Salve."

"What?"

"Hello in Latin."

"Oh, I see…Now can we get back on the topic of our brother." Pearl said.

"Yeah, ok hold up one second." She then led us to a room where it was filled with maps of oceans and sea, lakes, rivers, a few streams, and even a sewage system. She placed her hand on the map of California.

"Stop thinking, it's annoying as hell!" She blurted out. We all just silently stepped back a few inches. She closed her eyes and rubbed her hand against the map. "Mmhm, he's there. Along with Choron."

"Choron?"

"The camp director… Chiron's twin brother, ring a bell? Um Roman Empire 101? Nothing…ok well I say lets head out now, so I can kick some butt and then get back to looking hot as a model on the beach and boys come up and ask me to marry them."

"Um, suuurree." Piper said, Carlina smiled then made a gesture for us to follow. We walked down to the docks, her hair softly waving in the wind. The sun shining on it, making it glimmer in the light. I could feel her eyes on me as I walked.

"Yo, Penelope Goddess of the Wild come over here." I walked over to her, she settled with her arm around me. "You know a lot about this whole me being the duodemigod of two cultures thing, don't ya?"

"No I really don't, Pearl actually told me about you. But my friend…your brother, I-he…we were really close. You and Pearl are our only chances of getting him back, and you're super powerful by the looks of it. You pretty much just beat Gaia at her own game with the, killing the Furi and all. Your pretty cool, I gotta admit, your powers their pretty jacked up."

"I know, but hey I don't like being called powerful, or the duodemigod, it makes me mad. I'm tired of always being called that. I get about sixty people, excuse me, demigods asking me to help them with this, help them with that. It gets tiring after awhile. You're a goddess, you must know the feeling though. Somewhere in that kind heart of yours, that's what your arm says."

"You seem actually like you get me. Like you understand how I'm treated, and everything else."

"I do, Neptune was more into schooling, sent me to a boarding school. I loathed every single minute in it. I have dyslexia, and kids treated me like I was shit on the bottom of their shoes. You and I we got something that others don't I feel it, in my blood something sparkin like a new beginning, by helping you guys maybe I'll finally show Poseidon and Neptune, my double personality father that I'm not too young to do things by myself. I mean look at me, I've done some pretty powerful things, my abs show it don't they?"

"Yes Carlina," I gave her a knowing smile, "How old are you?"

"In truth, 790 years old… how old am I now in my new life…thirteen."

"Whoa… that's older then my boyfr- friend. Can you like remember your past life?"

"Yup, all of it, it's a little fuzzy like your memories you have when you're a child but other then that pretty clear."

"That's ridiculously cool!"

"I know, I'm just a ridiculously cool person."

"Hey Chatter Boxes; tell me one way to get to San Francisco by noon, say tomorrow. I got a monster to kill." Jason said, he gave a small smile to Carlina and me.

"Oh I think I showed what I can do." Carlina gave a victorious smile back, and then held a hand, the ocean froze in place. She then gestured to the parking garage next to the skyscraper. "Get whatever car or motorcycle you want. This is gonna be fun. I haven't done this in a long time." We took off towards the parking garage.

"So Piper, see any car you want, I'm sure you wouldn't even need Carlina to freeze time, you could just get it from asking." Leo joked.

"Shut up Valdez!" Piper screeched, the building began to shake. Carlina held a hand and the foundation stopped shaking.

"Use your words wisely, young grasshopper." She smiled playfully. Then grabbed a black motorcycle. "Yo Phoenix, you can materialize stuff, make me a Honda Motorcycle key. If you think about it, were not stealing, were just illegally borrowing." Phoenix flipped her a pair of keys. "Thanks dude." She started up the motor, and then laughed as if purred. "Oh dude, this is going to be fun as hell!" She kicked her head back and her long black hair whipped behind her and she flew out the window, we looked at each other astonished.

"I think I'm I love." Leo said staring at the silhouette of Carlina. I smiled and hopped in a red Ferrari,

"Well you heard the girl, let's illegally borrow some cars." I said, we each hopped into a vehicle Phoenix passing out keys, and he hopped in the Black Sedan with Annabeth. I was about to scream, but I stopped and then turned the keys in the ignition and I was off, I drove out the window, it was like a scene from a action movie, the glossy car flying in slow motion over the high building, and then landing perfectly in tact. I slammed onto the breaks and drove after Carlina's speeding motorcycle, I caught up with her. She gave me a sly smile,

"Race ya."

"Your on."

"Kick her ass!" I turned around and saw Rodney and Grover in the back seat. Rodney had most definitely said it, but Grover kind of had that face that practically read one word, go. I smiled and sped faster until Carlina and I were neck and neck.

"Try to beat me, try." She laughed then was off once more.
