Chapter 2:

Lilith's POV

After lunch I go to English with Percy's step-dad. It's a pretty cool class, since I have Percy's dad as a teacher and I have Liam and all the…um…how would you put it…funny, kids in my class. I sit in between Liam and Dylan, one of the non-demigod related troublemakers.

I take out my phone since class hadn't started and see I got a text from my half-brothers, Connor and Travis, who finally got up the nerves to ask out Katie.

Connor: hey, little sis

Travis: don't call her that. Not a good idea. She's just as good, if not better, at pranks and stealing things than as we are. Be smart.

Connor: since when are we "smart" XD

You: since travis had to go to lunch with Katie and someone from Aphrodite and decided that thinking things through and being smart was a good idea for his sanity?

Travis: ha-ha, very funny, Lilith.

Connor: anyways! Down to business. We have a plan.

Travis: it's awesome.

Connor: tell liam, too

Travis: you met Annabeth right?

You: yeah, how'd you know?

Travis: she called and told us

Connor: and warned us not to mess up camp or torture Chiron too much or she'd kill us

Travis: I told Katie and she said she'd help her… 8(

Connor: oh my gods *dies of laughter*

You: Connor!

Connor: …you're no fun.

Travis: thanks

You: don't mention it, now what is that brilliant idea of yours?

Travis: we want you to pull a prank for us.

Connor: since we cant we figured youd like to do the honors.

I smirk. The Stolls: possibly the best pranksters on the whole planet. Not including myself, obviously.

You: what's the plan *evil grin*

Annabeth's POV

Percy, Julia, Caleb, Cara, and I walk to Communications. This is weird. How are so many of my new friends, and demigods, in my classes? I'll have to ask Percy about that.

We walk into Ms. Zamorski's class and sit in the back.

"You're going to love this class. She doesn't give anyone homework—ever! And she's really nice, plus it's just generally a fun class." Percy enthuses.

"Seaweed Brain finds a class besides Greek that he likes? This teacher is a miracle worker!" I tease.

"Shut up, Wise Girl." Percy says laughing and slapping my arm playfully.

A thought dawns on me.

"Cara? Can we talk? Let's let the boys enthuse over not having homework." I ask, motioning for her to follow me outside before class starts.

She nods and we walk outside.

"What's up?" she asks me.

"A: how can any of us read basically anything in any class except English, Greek, and possibly Math? And b: how have we not gotten attacked by monsters? We have a Cyclops, demigods, and two of those demigods are children of the Big Three. Percy has gotten attacked by himself. Let alone with over 5 other demigods." I tell her.

She shrugs. "Luck. But as for how we can read, Percy's dad said that we need to work on our Greek so has most classes giving us stuff in Greek. As for the others? Google translate." Cara answers.

"Oh. Ok. Also, if this is relying on luck—than something is keeping monsters from coming towards us somehow. Demigods don't just get lucky. The only ones that do not get constantly attacked are the Hunters of Artemis because they chase monsters and demigods at Camp Half-Blood because we have a barrier." I decide not to mention the Roman camp.

"Oh. Maybe we can meet up after school and do some digging." she suggests.

"Yeah. W-" I was about to continue when Ms. Zamorski told us to come back in. We walk in and see the boys grinning.

Class goes by quickly until it is last period—science. It turns out I have Julia, Lilith, and Percy in this class. Lilith is starting to concern me…she has this evil grin on her face, like Leo…or Connor and Travis…or Clarisse when she works together with the Stolls to prank Percy…it's normally not a good thing. It's a mix of those and the face the Stolls had, ok so maybe more like Connor-Travis was terrified at Katie's reaction-when they put chocolate bunnies all around the Demeter cabin, in the Demeter cabin, on the Demeter cabin (yes I mean on the roof), and in the strawberry field. It didn't go over as planned when Katie found Travis and Connor…

Science is really easy. All of the things we are learning I've already learned. I just sorta sketch for the period and I end up with a picture of Percy and I having our first kiss. He glances at my paper and smiles. I give him a quick kiss on the cheek and then whisper to him, "Pay attention, Seaweed Brain."

"You're not, Wise Girl."

He thinks for a moment and I smirk.

"Our names for each other prove my point." I whisper. He smirks and starts copying notes.

The bell rings, signaling for us to leave, and Percy asks me, "Annabeth, wanna come over to my place for a bit?"

"I'd love to, but I can't. I made plans with Cara. We have an idea, but we want to make sure about something first." I reply, disappointed. He nods in understanding and gives me a kiss. I kiss him back, enjoying the moment, and then I hear someone cough behind me.

I break the kiss and turn to look at the person, who ends u being Cara.

"Don't mean to break up the lovebirds, but ready to go, Annabeth?" she asks. I feel my cheeks get hot and I nods.

"Bye, Seaweed Brain. I love you." I tell him honestly.

"Bye, Wise Girl. I love you too." he replies. I smile and jog towards Cara, who was perfectly ok with ditching me apparently.

"Ditcher." I tease once I catch up, which wasn't very hard.

She laughs.

"So? How was your first day?" Cara asks.

"Good. I'm excited that I finally get to see Seaweed Brain again, and it's cool that there are so many new demigods. We're being followed. You all seem like really nice people." I tell her, making sure the warning is followed by some nonchalant comment.

"That's great, Annabeth. Sorry for being sorta rude earlier. There are just a lot of girls that like Percy so I'm used to having to stick up for him before they get to him. Trust me. It's not pretty when he tells them no. I know. And I promise: we are nice. In our own ways." Cara says, using the same tactic I did.

"It's fine. On three. I get it."

"One." she whispers. I glance and see something moving in the shadows.

"Two." I whisper.

"Three." We say in unison. I'm faster so I take out my knife and push the person against the wall. Not a monster, I knew that before. They don't do waiting before they attack two demigods.

"Woah, Annabeth!" the person yells. I recognize that voice. It's dark so I can't see their face very well so I can't be positive.

I grab the person's arm and bring them into the sunlight. I look at his face.

"Nico?" I ask.

"Hi." the son of Hades greets. I give him a hug, which he returns. He got a lot more…open after the Giant War. More like the old Nico that Percy and I first met.

"What are you doing in New York?" I ask him.

"I could ask you the same thing! I've been trying to repel all of the demigods' sent with this thing Hades taught me. I have to use my sword and occasionally need Hazel to help, but I can do it. It's really hard to do. And it's even harder with the more demigods there are."

"That solves that question. And you two know each other?" Cara asks.

"It's not just me though. Hades had to get help from someone to give me the ability and sometimes I have to channel into that power to keep the monsters away. I don't know who. And yes." Nico answers.

"Cara-meet one of my best friends-Nico di Angelo: Son of Hades. Nico, meet Cara: Daughter of Athena." I introduce.

"Annabeth…have you heard from Thals lately?" Nico asks.

"No, why? Not since the end of the War. Cara-don't ask." I tell her as she starts to ask.

"I can't get a hold of her and can't find her. I even tried to IM her and pray to Artemis but IM's are useless and Artemis only says she's on a quest. That was two months ago." Nico says.

My face goes pale. "Nico-shadow travel, grab Percy, come right back here. Cara-I need to take a rain check. This is important. I'm sorry." I tell her.

"It's fine. Good luck. Text me if you need me or any of the others."

"Ok." I tell her and Cara walks away. I start pacing until Nico comes back.

"What's wrong?" Percy asks.

"It's Thalia."

Slight cliffhanger! Ok so maybe not, I don't know. Any ideas on what the Stolls and Lilith have planned?

And what happened to Thalia? I'd love to see what you guys think!

Also, what ships do you want in this story besides Percabeth? OC's are included, and if anybody is interested, I can add you into my story as an OC if you want to ship one of YOUR characters with a PJO character. Or make it yourself! All I'd need is a name for your character, their boyfriend/girlfriend in my story, and a personality.

Thanks for reading!

Love:
