Hey Percy Jackson readers, and...non-Percy Jackson reader!! My second chapter, hope you like it!! R&R!!

Oh, and by the way this is after The Last Olympian.

Chapter 2

I met Madison's step-mom and half-brother. Her step-mom had black hair and dark drown eyes. She didn't like me much, I could tell by the way she looked at me. Her half-brother had blond hair too, and he had brown eyes. He was six years younger than me. Madison must look like her mom because she looked very different from the rest. When she told her family the news everyone was happy, except her brother. He was sad that she was leaving, but she promised to came back soon.

She led me to her room and explained what had been happening in the god world. She told me about the war with the gods and the titans. The boy who saved everyone, Percy. She didn't know much, but she new what was happening somehow.

"How do you know what's going on if your all the way over here?" I asked once she finished her story.

"The news. Mortals don't see what we see, it's called mist. They don't see the gods fighting or the titans they see a huge unbelievable storm. I saw the gods fighting in the news." She said. I nodded and studied her room. The walls were light purple lots of posters of celebrities. There was a bookcase with tons of books, her bed was queen sized and had pink blankets on it. The desk next to her bed had a small light and five books on it. There was another white desk and on it was a pink laptop. There was a purple rug on the floor and a couple of clothes on her bed. Very…girlie.

"How do you know your Aphrodite's your mom?" I asked quietly.

"My dad told me. And I've been claimed by her. We don't know about you yet though" She said. "You hungry?"

"Yeah" I responded.

"Well come make your own sandwich" She said and led me to the kitchen. The kitchen was like any other kitchen. I was feeling …happy here.

______________________________________________________________________

The next morning there was a tearful goodbye for Madison and her family. I changed into jeans and a red jacket. I didn't want to wear a hat even though it was snowing. I stood in the back round awkwardly holding a black backpack. She wore a purple jacket, a pink hat, jeans, and pink boots. I had food, and extra pair of clothes, and a book. Madison's dad told me to take care of her and keep her safe. He trusted me, that's the first I thought. Madison took her Laptop, food, two extra pair of clothes, One hundred dollars, and two books.

When we left she was crying. I didn't know what to do so I just told her everything was going to be fine. Two hours later we got tired walking so we took a cab to Manhattan, New York. I was quiet then I spoke up.

"I have ADHD, is that normal for a half-blood?" I asked her.

"Yes, makes you aware of everything in a fight. I have it too. Most have dyslexia too because their eyes are made for Greek. I don't have and since you like to read" She pointed at the book in my hands. "I'm guessing your not dyslexic?"

"You guesses are really accurate." I said laughing a little. She laughed too, it was a small laugh.

"So…what was your life like before the, uh, hospital?" She asked glancing at the cab driver to see if he was listening. Of course he was.

"My dad was really nice, but he had to send me to the hospital because the town was giving forcing him to. The monsters I fought did blow stuff up, but no one believed me. I never saw the person who killed the monsters though." I said. I look to her and I couldn't read her expression.

"Well my dad married my step-mom when I was five. I've been to three different schools because the monsters attacked me and I got kicked out. But, I guess I'm not like normal people so I accepted it." She said and shrugged her shoulders.

Than we talked about other stuff like our favorite color, food, person, etc. Her favorite color is purple, mine is red. Her favorite food is pizza, mine is chicken sandwiches. Her favorite person is obviously Aphrodite, I don't have one. We didn't know how much time past when we got to New York, but it was late because the sun was setting. It was snowing lightly and I've got to admit it was really cool

"This place is beautiful!" She said holding her arms out and looking upwards. The snow fell on her and she giggle when the snow touched her face. She turned to me. "Can we go sightseeing before we get to camp? I've never been here before." She asked. I shrugged my shoulders and she dragged me to a place where the sign said "Central Park"

She walked ahead looking at everything she can. I was a few feet back with my hands in my jacket pocket looking at her marveling at a huge tree. I walked over to her.

"It's called a tree." I said startling her.

"I know, but look" she pointed to where she was looking at before. It was a heart and in it was A+T. She smiled, "It's so cute and sweet" she turned and ran to a huge building. I ran after her and stopped in front of the door .

"The Zoo. And it's opened! Can we go inside?" She said, practically bouncing up and down in her boots.

"Fine, for 10 minutes only! Then we're leaving!" I said, she rolled her eyes and pulled me into the Zoo.

We walked around looking at each animal we could find. It was interesting. We passed a huge mammoth that looked as if it was going to trample us. We went to the Penguin area, the reptile area, and looked at dinosaur skeletons. Next thing we know an hour had passed. We ran out the Zoo and when we got out it was dark.

"We should camp here for the night" I said. "We can't travel in the dark."

"Okay, and thanks for taking me to the Zoo, I've never been to one before." She said and grinned widely. I smiled at her, but didn't say anything.

We went under a tree with no snow, and sat down. She took out her laptop and started typing something fast. An earth popped up and zoomed in to New York, then zoomed farther to Manhattan. She pointed to a spot in the middle of trees.

"We are here" She said. Then she zoomed out and dragged the mouse downward. She stopped at Long Island in a large plain field.

I squinted my eyes at it. "There's nothing there." I said

"You can't see it on the computer. The mist tricked the humans eyes, so nothing shows." She reminded me, I nodded. "It's about 2 hours from here. We can't afford to take another cab, so we have to walk."

"Why can't we take the train? It's the quickest way." I said.

"Because I don't like them. They're scary." She said almost sounding like a little girl.

"Well, I guess your going to get over you fear of trains tomorrow. And I'm going to enjoy every minute of it" I said, teasing her.

"Whatever" she muttered and put away her laptop. She took her bag, set on the ground, and lay her head on it. "Good night" she said

I did the same and said "Goodnight" We were exhausted so we fell asleep five minutes later.

Meanwhile…

A dark haired boy with green eyes hid behind a tree watching the two half-bloods. He was with a blond girl with grey eyes. They were following James and Madison since they reached Manhattan. They watched as they checked the computer, whispering to each other. The blond girl quietly sprinted to a way the led to where the half-bloods were. She looked at the computer then sprint back the way she'd come.

"They know where camp is. I told you they could find their way on their own, we don't have to baby-sit them" The blond said.

"We still have to take them to camp with us, no matter what" The dark haired boy said.

"Whatever, lets just follow they're example and go to sleep" The grey-eyed girl said. The boy nodded at the rested their heads on a tree.

________________________________________________________________________

I woke up to a loud roar. I quickly woke Madison and she woke up immediately. She looked up and her eyes widened, she screamed and I followed to where her eyes settled on. A huge black monster was standing before us. It was three snake like heads with red eyes. I put my hand over Madison's mouth, and slowly stood up. It was still roaring and I looked around for a weapon. Ugh, I didn't have any weapons! It pulled it's middle head I new it was going to try and eat us. I ran dragging Madison with me. It snapped my side and grazed my ribs. I yelled out in pain and dropped to the floor. Madison stopped and leaned over me. Her eyes went wide when she saw the blood at my side.

Tears formed at her eyes. "Oh my gods, its not a deep cut" she said, "It's probably a broken rib"

The monster approached us and right when I thought we were going to die someone got in front of us.

"Yo! Multi-headed freak!" A boy yelled. "Attacked people with no weapons, you're so brave!" He said, even though he didn't have a weapon either. I glanced at Madison, she was staring at him.

Then, he took a pen out of his pocket. What's he going to do with that? Threaten to write on it? Then he uncapped it and it turned in a brown glowing swords. Oh, of course. He was about to cut the monsters heads off when a girl stopped him. What was she doing? The monster's going to kill us!

"It's a hydra! Cut off it's head and it grows two back! The only way you could kill it is to cut off its neck and burn it!" She yelled at him. He lowered his sword and nodded.

"Get the half-bloods! And then start a fire, make sure it doesn't spread much!" He said and the girl ran to me and Madison.

"You" she pointed to Madison, "Help me get him up and we'll bring him under that tree over there.

Madison looked at me for permission and I nodded. They help me up and took me to the tree. The girl gave me a type of juice and told me to drink it, I drank it and it tasted like Coca Cola.

"Drink that James. Madison," how did that girl know our name?, "Help me start fire!" She yelled and dragged Madison away. I started feeling better already once the fire started. Then, I was healed up and ready to go. That was fast, I though. I looked over to the boy fighting with the hydra, I went to the girls to make the fire bigger. When I put sticks in it, the fire rose about ten feet. Madison and the mystery girl stared at me.

"Stay here!" The girl said and ran to help the boy, she took a dagger from her waist band and started fighting too.

Five minutes later, the boy and girl were carrying the large heads and dumped it in the fire. The fire rose, then turned green. Madison and I stared at the fire. The boy did something with his arms and water came from it and doused out the fire. He didn't have a scratch on him while the girl had cuts all over. They looked at us and the girl stepped forward. She had blond hair in a ponytail, tanned skin, and grey eyes. Kind of pretty.

"Are you James and Madison?" She asked. Madison glanced at me and I nodded.

"We're here to take you to Camp Half-blood." the boy said. He had black hair and green eyes. "And we're not taking no as an answer."

"You know about Camp Half-blood?" Madison asked.

"Yes, we are half-bloods. And we know you are too." The girl said, the boy just nodded.

"Who are you?" I said to them.

The girl stepped forward. "I'm Annabeth Chase" she said.

The boy re-capped is sword and it turned into a pen, and he slipped it into his pocket. "I'm Percy Jackson" he said.

Madison's eyes widen at him, then she looked at him with admiration, he smiled at her. I clenched my hands and glared at him. I think Annabeth saw her look too because she put her arm around Percy. Percy looked Annabeth and she whispered something in his ear. He laughed and shook his head, she looked angrily at him. Then he kissed her. I glanced at Madison. She looked away and decided her nails needed some attention. I rolled my eyes.

"Are we leaving or not?" I said, my voice impatient.

"Yeah, lets go. We're taking the train." Percy said, and I heard Madison groan.

"The train?" she whispered to herself

Him and Annabeth walked ahead holding hands and Madison and I walked a few feet behind. I was avoiding any touch from her, and she wasn't meeting my eyes. This was going to be a long walk, I thought.
