A/N: 1) Thanks for reviewing! 2) In time, I might get Jackson and Percy together, but it might be a while. 3) I'm going to try an update every 3-4 days, maybe earlier if I'm in a good mood. 4) I used "They" so that Percy and the others didn't know if the person was a boy or a girl. To everyone: Thanks for reading! Now on with the story!

Chapter 2

Jackson's POV

God, these kids here have to learn their place. I don't care if they're Zeus himself, manners are meant to be shown. On the other hand, at one time I was as incorporative as that kid. Well, before Chaos found my life wasn't all dandy. But that's a story for another time.

When I made it to the Chaos cabin I went in and was completely surprised. The place looked amazing! The cabin didn't even look like a summer cabin, it looked like a mini house. It had a full kitchen, living room, and a dining room. The upstairs had four bathrooms, each attached to the bedrooms. And to top it all off, the basement had a bunch of computer screens so we could communicate to the soldiers working with Chaos. Whoever made this, hands-down, one of the best things I have ever seen.

I decided to pick the second room on my right. All the rooms were the same size, so no problems would start on who's room is bigger. I put my clothes away in the closet and then went downstairs where I saw the Vanguards all sitting on the couch in deep discussion. Once the see me on me they all stop talking. Were they talking about me?

"Soooo…" I say trying to break the awkwardness. I really don't communicate with other people. I like to keep to myself, but given my current situation, that won't be happening.

"Who are you really?" Thalia asks me being straight to the point.

"As I you probably already guessed, I am Chaos's second in command. As for my name, just call me Jackson." I can tell that wasn't the answer she wanted.

"Not what she meant." Nico told me.

"I understand that, but that's all you really need to know. I know for a fact Chaos told you three that I am very secretive, so don't go expecting me to open up to you three at first sight. And I presume you've heard stories of what I can do?" They all nod. "Good, so I will always be around, but you might not see me. That doesn't mean I'm not here. Understand?"

"Yes ma'am." They all say in unison. I chuckle. Ma'am makes me feel old.

"No need for formalities. Ma'am makes me feel way to old. Like a boy talking to his girlfriend's mom. I am not a mom." I smile.

"Alright then, can you tell us one thing?" Percy asks.

"I guess I owe you that much. Shoot."

"Are you a mortal, demi-god, demi-titan, or what?"

Great, out of every question, he picks that one. What do I tell him? "It's complicated to explain, but no, I am not a mortal."

"So you're a demi-god or demi-titan?" Nico asks confused.

"This is hard to explain. I can't tell you at the moment, but I am a demi-something." I can see their brains trying to figure out what I am. It amuses me a little.

"Okay then. Well, Chiron wants to speak to all of us with the cabin leaders at the Big House in five." Thalia informs me. "So we got to get going now."

"Lead the way, I don't know where we are going." I tell them and Thalia nods.

We walk out of the cabin and head to the Big House. On they way there, everyone stares at us. Don't they know it's rude to stare? Things are really going to change. Once we make it to the Big House I see everyone is sitting around a huge table. The kid who had an attitude earlier with me is yelling at Chiron with two other kids. Funny, the boy who wanted to fight with me earlier looks like Percy, with that shaggy, black hair, sea-green eyes, and a tan body. But he is nowhere as built as Percy is, not that I was checking him out or anything. The boy next to him look like Nico, same pale skin and everything, again, Nico is more built, not more than Percy though. Finally, the girl on the other side of the Percy look-alike has black hair, piercing blue eyes, but she seems peppier than Thalia.

Once they see us, all three kids sit down and quiet down. Chiron smiles and waves us to four empty seats. The three Vanguards bit, but I deny. I don't mind standing.

Chiron begins to talk. "Since you four are here to teach the camp about monsters, mythologies, and sword fighting to defend ourselves. Who is going to teach what class?" I actually never thought of that, the thought never crossed my mind.

"Well," Percy began. "Since Jackson is Chaos's second in command, she should teach the sword fighting."

"No!" I quickly deny the offer. I then calm down. "I can't. I don't want to hurt anyone."

"You can't hurt us even if you tried!" The boy that looks like Nico said with a smirk. Gosh, are they all obnoxious?

"David, let her speak." Chiron says and I give him a thank you smile.

"I can't teach that class, because I will loose my temper." I inform them all.

Percy's face looks like he's confused, but then realization crosses his face. "Oh yeah, I remember now. The stories say that when you fight you go on a rampage, killing everyone who attacks you." I smile remembering my last fight. I almost killed a whole race of Zanopians.

"Correct Percy. But, I will co-teach it with you. Thalia can teach about monsters and Nico can teach about mythologies. Does that work for you three?" I ask them.

"Yeah, sure. Not a problem." Thalia says as she turns to Chiron. "When do we start teaching?"

Chiron thinks for a few seconds then comes up with the answer. "You can all start teaching tomorrow."

"Good." I start to walk out when that kid, David, speaks.

"How 'bout you battle me, Jackson? Or are you to scared?" His friends laugh.

"Don't push it, kid. Do you want to be blown twenty feet like your friend did earlier?"

The kid from earlier speaks up. "My name is Mark. And I can beat you easily. I'm the best demi-god in over 5,000 years!" I can see Percy tense up when Mark says this.

"Listen, I'm not Chaos's second in command for nothing. I have more power than you will ever see in your puny life. And yes, I did say puny. I am over 10,000 years old. Don't push me." I say calmly.

"Let's fight! I'm tired of you coming in here and acting like you're the boss. News flash, Jackson, I run this show!" I'm really getting tired of his ego.

"Fine," I sigh. "Let's get this over with. And when you loose, don't blame it on you weren't ready. That's a dumbass excuse." I walk straight out of the Big House and don't look back. This kid is going to learn to respect authority.

Percy's POV

I can't believe she is actually going to fight him. I've never seen her fight, but she is a legend! The only thing is, when she left, she didn't seem into the fight. It's like this fight is going to be like playing patty-cake for her. This should be kind of interesting.

Once Jackson left the Big House everyone followed her. We headed to the field to watch the battle. Jackson was on one side just sitting on the floor. It didn't even look like she cared about this. Mark, on the other hand, was talking to David and Thalia half-sister, Ashley. David and Ashley were patting Mark on the back and telling him he's going to win. Five minutes later they backed away from Mark. Mark then walked over to Jackson. I couldn't hear them, but some words were exchanged and they shook hands and Mark walked away. Wait a second, they shook hands! Since when does Mark show good sportsmanship?

Chiron walked in between the two and started to tell them the rules. "There will be no killing, none of that. The fight will continue until one of the fighters says mercy. No one may interfere, got it?" We both nod. "Good, begin!"

Mark rushed at Jackson. But she just stood there, and then she disappeared. Just gone, one second there, the next, gone! Mark's face was hilarious! He just stood there utterly confused.

"Are you to chicken to show yourself?" Mark asked as he laughed. He then plummeted to the ground, like someone kicked him in the stomach.

Jackson reappeared. "It's not called being chicken, Mark. It's called the element of surprise."

"Yeah, well surprise this!" Mark flicked his finger and a massive tidal wave came and hit Jackson. He laughed in victory. "Say mercy, Jackson!"

Once the water cleared, Jackson just stood there, unharmed. How did she recover from that? It looked like she didn't even stumble. She smiled an evil smile. She has something up her sleeve and I wonder what it is. But one thing bothers me, in the legend she is an uncontrollable killing machine. Now, she isn't even breaking a sweat. I don't understand her, but for some reason, I'm attracted to her. No, I have to get that thought out of my mind. She is Chaos's number two and we have business here. I don't have time to like her, do I?

Back to the fight. She raises her hands again, like she did earlier, and shoots a plasma ball at him. He only flies five feet. He gets up staggering and a little bruised. Jackson does it again and laughs this time. Again, Mark only flies five feet. This goes on five more time before he doesn't get up.

"Going to say mercy, Mark?" Jackson asked innocently.

When Mark doesn't get up, David and Ashley rush at Jackson. You can see she is pissed because she glares at them, worse than Thalia and Nico's glare put together. They both continue rushing her but she just sighs. They rush up to her and at the last minutes, she disappears.

Jackson then appears ten feet in back of them. "Now," She begins. "This is cheating, but if you insist on fighting me too, so be it."

She charges at both of them and pulls out two daggers. She easily cuts them both all over the place. They both fall to the ground bleeding all over. I look in her eyes and no longer see the calm girl, I see a blood crazy killer. I look over at Nico and Thalia. We have a mental conversation that goes a little like this.

"We have to stop her"

"She'll kill us."

"We have to try."

They nod and we rush Jackson. She looks over at us and I see a longing for blood in her eyes. A few feet away from Jackson, a cloud of smoke appears in front of her. Once the smoke clears I see Chaos, We all bow. He nods at us and lifts his hand, motioning us to stand. He turns to Jackson and touches her right shoulder. She automatically is turned back into the calm girl.

"Little one, you are fine now." He tells Jackson in a quiet voice. I've never heard him talk like that.

"Thank you, fa-Chaos." What was that about? I'll have to ask her later. Chaos turns around to face us and the campers again and Jackson goes to his side. He looks to the sky.

"Gods!" He yells and a flash of lightning crosses the sky. Not even a minute later, the Olympians are upon us. Every camper bows. "We must discuss an issue. Let's talk in the Big House. And immortal campers, come as well. Somebody get the three kids on the floor and feed them the food of the Gods and bring them to the Big House. Vanguards and um- what are you going by? Jackson, right?" Jackson nods and he smiles like he understands the reason for her name. "Alright, well you four come as well." He turns and walks to the Big House.

When Chaos shows up out of nowhere, it's usually not good. Something is wrong, very wrong. Then he speaks to Jackson like he's truly concerned about her. To top it off, Jackson almost calls Chaos something. Something is not what it seems, and I want to know what it is. Well, after I got to the meeting at the Big House. Thalia, Nico, and I walk to the Big House. Then, I realize something weird. Thalia and Nico are holding hands!

"It's the Apocalypse!" I scream and they blush knowing exactly what I'm talking about.

A/N: There you go, Chapter number two! I hope you liked it. Who do you think Jackson is, like what type of demi-something is she? What did she almost call Chaos? Why is her name Jackson? And does Percy like Jackson? Again, more questions to ponder about. THALICO LIVES ON! Until my next chapter, you'll find us chasing the sun! (The Wanted is amazing!)
