Percy

Annabeth and I sat on the floor of Aphrodite's room talking quietly to each other while we waited for Zoey and Stark to return. To be honest this school is a little weird. What's with the tattoos? Especially Zoey's. She has them all over. "Do they know we're not human?" I whispered.

"I don't know, but neither are they." she whispered back.

"They're not human?" I ask.

She hits me upside the head. "No, Seaweed Brian! They're Nyx's Vampyres. Don't you read?"

"Dyslexic, remember? What are we doing here then, Wise Girl?" I put my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me.

"That's never stopped me from reading. Besides we were asked politely to come and stay here to learn more about Nyx. And Zeus wanted to know what was up at this school. He heard that bad things were going down. To be honest, Percy, I think we're here to stop something from happening."

Zoey and Stark came back a few minutes later with chips and dip. Plus her brown pop. Everyone stopped their conversations to look at them.

"What the fuck took you two so long?" Erin asked.

Aphrodite grinned and then made a face. "Not in the kitchen right?"

"Aphrodite! No, we didn't even do anything."

"Sure you didn't." She winked.

I stared at Zoey's tattoos with interest as she took a seat on Stark's lap after he sat down next to Aphrodite. Darius was standing guard by the door. What is so special about these people that makes them need protection? Zoey notices me staring and sighs. "So," she begins, "You all must be wondering what we are."

Us demigods all shake our heads, except for Annabeth. She obviously knows everything about them. I spoke up. "Yeah, what's with the facial design?"

"It's how our goddess Marks us." Aphrodite answered.

"How come you don't have one?" Leo asks earning a glare from her.

"I'm Nyx's Prophetess. My Mark was taken away when I helped Stevie Rae get her humanity back. The rest of the undead dead kids-"

"Stop being mean to them! They're just like you. All they did was die and come back." Stevie Rae stood up for them.

"All I did was call them undead dead kids. It's true. Right, Zoey?"

Zoey face palmed and sighed just as Damien came back with a person who must've been Jack. Jack had a dog with him. Aphrodite's cat, Maleficent I think, hissed and ran into the bathroom. Damien motioned to his friend. "This is Jack Twist, my boyfriend."

Zoey, the Twins, Piper, and Annabeth had big grins plastered on their faces. I couldn't help but grin at Annabeth's cuteness. "Alright." said Zoey. "We'll be splitting up for now. Annabeth and Piper you guys stay here. Percy, Leo, Nico, and Jason you can all follow Damien to the boys' dorm."

I kissed Annabeth good bye and followed Damien to the boys' dorm. "So you guys are Vampyres?" Nico asks.

Damien shakes his head. "We're fledglings. We have to go through the Change to become Vampyres."

"So, do you guys only eat blood?" Leo asks.

"Vampyres don't eat blood, they drink it." Damien crinkles his nose. "It's normal for a fledgling to experience bloodlust when they are a sixth former and that's how you know you're going through the Change. We eat human food if that's what you're asking."

"So fill us in. What's with the tension between the boss lady and Zoey?" Leo asks.

Damien's eyes darken. There's something he won't tell us. "Oh that? That's nothing." He says, obviously lying but I nod and nudge Leo to do the same.

"Here we are. Room 212 is yours. I'm right across the hall if you need me. Nice meeting you." He quickly walks into his room.

"That was weird." Jason comments.

We open the door to find two bunk beds and our suitcases already in the room. "I call the top bunk!" Leo calls.

"Me too!" Nico also calls and jumps towards the top bunk.

I walk towards the same bunk Nico's sleeping on and lay down. "Annabeth told me that their times are different and they sleep during the day. So, I guess we should go to bed?" It's 6 a.m in the morning and we've been up for 24 hours. Of course we should go to sleep. I couldn't go to sleep right away so I thought about everything that has been going on.

"Percy, I must talk to you." Chiron trotted over.

"What's up?" I turned to him.

He wore a grim expression. "There has been trouble in Tulsa, Oklahoma for these past few months. The gods' asked me if I could sent my best campers on a quest to the school. Now, I've already talked to Annabeth. She knows the details. Hopefully, Zoey Redbird will explain to you what is going on when you arrive. Jason, Piper, Nico, Leo, and Annabeth are already waiting for you by the bus."

I nodded. "How long will we be there?"

"Several months. Or until everything gets sorted out."

I nodded once again. "I understand. Will there be a prophecy from the Oracle this time?"

"Rachel already went to Annabeth. She said it was for both of you but since she couldn't find you she just gave it to Annabeth."

"Okay, I'll see you in a few months then."

Chiron smiled and trotted off. I jogged over to the bus. Everyone was already seated when I climbed in. I took a seat next to Annabeth and the journey begun.

My eyes fluttered closed and I drifted off to sleep.

Sorry for not updating sooner I've been busy with projects and other fanfictions. I really love writing fanfictions. They're so much fun! I'll hopefully get another chapter up soon.
