A/N~ I'm sooooo sorry I haven't updated in forever. It's been a very crazy couple of weeks. Anyway, all of the reasons and the winner and character profile is in the last chapter. Even though this says it's chapter six, it is actually chapter 5 in the story.

Person(s) of the Week; 1L2Y3R4A and Bookwormgirl2

Chapter Five- Just Some Introducing

POV- Marisa

I push through the thorns and branches, looking all around for the boy of my dreams. His dark hair and eyes just make me melt. Oh, who am I kidding? I think bitterly to myself, Nico would never go for me.

After a few more minutes of getting scratched up (and thinking about Nico), I see someone with dark hair kneeling by a small river. It's Nico! I say as I quickly hid behind a bush. Idiot! Go talk to him! I build up my courage and rush towards him.

Biggest. Mistake. Ever. First of all, it wasn't even Nico. Second, I'M ANTI-SOCIAL and I brought too much attention to myself.

"Nico!" I call as I push through the rest of the thorns and bushes. The person with dark hair turned. I blushed a crimson. "Oh… um… hee… s-s-sorry?"

She gave an awkward smile, then glared at me a little, "Who are you?"

I quickly run my fingers through my hair, as I do when I'm nervous. "Oh… um… I'm… Ma-ma-marisa." I say as I bounce on the balls of my feet.

The girl considers me with a cold stare. She takes in my electric blue eyes (much like her own), my raven hair that frames my faces, pulled into a low pony tail, and my tan-ish skin (scratched to Hades), dark skinny jeans, my old Beatles shirt, and blue converse. Her eyes rest on my necklace, making me uncomfortable. It is a dragon curled around a blue orb. It's my weapon of choice, mainly because it changes into a scythe.

Her eyes slowly soften and meet mine. "Thalia Grace. Daughter of Zeus." She holds out her hand.

"Marisa Garcia. Daughter of Athena." I take her hand and we shake.

"So, what brings you into the fore-" She's cut off by a loud snap of a branch. We both whirl around and find ourselves face-to-face with non other than Percy Jackson. The son of Poseidon.

A/N- I know it's not much, but, I wanted to introduce Marisa and keep the story rolling. ATLEAST IT'S SOMETHING! Please don't kill me! Anyway, the next chapter will hopefully be longer. Yippee for Bookwormgirl2 who won the contest and thanks to those who entered. I hope you all know that it was quite hard to choose a winner D;

Anyway, love you guys and thanks SOOO much!
