So, today was a really sucky day for me, so I apoligize for using the word suck a lot. There was a bog and I got stuck up to my thighs in mud and it took 4 people to get me out, I feel about 3 inches taller, and I took 3 dives after the stupid bog. My only friend who is a girl and likes Percy Jackson was joking around saying I got stuck in muskeg and I realized how stupid I must have looked while stuck there. My friend, my teacher, and 2 of the class clowns had to work together to get me out and I feel really crappy but hyper so I felt like writing up the rest of the chapter. I hope you enjoy!

Me: Ok, I own everything about this story!

Nico: No you don't! You don't own me! Nobody owns me, I'm a real boy!

Me: Dude, your a fictional character, how are you talking to me?

Nico: Only uncle Rick owns us, well you own Andy, Shannon, and Lisa, oh yeah the plot too, but I'm the freaking son of Hades and I can do whatever I want!

Me: Okay then...

Chapter 6

After breakfast, Percy said we were scheduled for the climbing wall. I love rock climbing. When we approached the wall, I might have made some intelligent comment like, 'Well, that looks easy,' but thought better of it. The wall was one environmental issue after another. There was lava, flaming rocks, earthquakes, and the wall was changing constantly. From the distance, I saw a small dark shape fall from about midway up. We kept advancing. I saw the small figure get up and take a swig of something from a water bottle. He started climbing again. As we approached the base of the wall, he had come back down. He had blond hair and electric blue eyes, maybe 2 or 3 years older than I was.

"Hey Percy, who's you're friend? Annabeth wouldn't like to know anything about this now, would she?" He was just teasing Percy, it was obvious by his tone. I hadn't seen him at breakfast or at dinner, and I wanted to know who he was too.

"Your brain really must be fried. Jason, Andy. Andy, Jason. So, he is a son of Jupiter, lord of the skies. Jason's roman. We actually have really similar stories." Percy was anxious for me to meet his friend. I could tell his friend was curious about me. Wait a minute, similar stories?

"Huh?" Jason and I said at the same time. Just then, 2 girls came down. One was totally punked out but had a silver circlet over her head that made her look like a punk princess and the other was absolutely gorgeous. She had long chocolate hair and eyes that seemed to change color.

The punked out princess girl shouted, "What's up little bro?" The boys chuckled, like it was some inside joke.

Jason shouted back, "Nothing much except for the fact that my LITTLE sister just called me younger because I am officially older than you. Unless you forgot that you never turned 16." After that, Jason let out a maniacal laughter that just mad him seem that much more mature (note the sarcasm oozing from my words). As the girls got closer, I could see a scowl etched onto the girl's face. The other, had on a brilliant smile and was walking briskly as the princess of punk trudged along beside her.

"I assume that either A: you are the Princess of Punk," with that I curtsied and continued, "or B: judging by the fact that your circlet is silver, I'd say, 2nd in command to... Artemis?" I wasn't sure about that last part, but the girl nodded and held out her hand.

She introduced herself, "Thalia Grace, Lightning Boy's older sister, and congrats, you're the first person I've ever met that actually got it right on the 1st or 2nd try. Well, I hope you were being sarcastic about the princess thing, I hate being called that. Do you know anybody besides Kelp Head and Lightning Boy?" I was about to answer her when someone grabbed me from behind. It was Nico.

"Hey, what should I call you now?" he inquired. I just laughed at him.

Thalia let a scowl flash across her face before saying, "I see you already know some people." She then, addressed Nico with a scowl, "I almost had another hunter there! Whatevs Death Breath, but he's right. Whatever shall we call you?"

I thought for a second before answering, "I don't know. My dad is Poseidon." Shock flashed her face as the news registered. The other girl still hadn't said anything because she was behind me, sucking face with Jason. I held up my finger and counted to 3, they understood the message.

On 3, all four of us yelled, "Get a Room!" They finally broke apart, faces red of embarrassment.

The girl said, "You didn't see any of that," and I felt like puking. I felt a roll of... I don't know how to explain it, but it was like sickeningly sweet words.

"What is that?" I asked and shock almost passed along the girl's face.

"What?" asked Nico, "Piper, did you just try to charmspeak us?" His voice was steely calm. It made me scared. She nodded and gulped then took off running. Jason ran after her and grabbed her by the waist. As he dragged her back, they were laughing and a scene from yesterday flashed into my head of when I met Percy and Annabeth.

I guess I started giggling because soon, I was laughing nonstop. "Ok, I did try to charmspeak you guys, but for Thalia and the little girl's sake who obviously likes Nico who likes her back. Wait a sec, are you guys dating? Oh, sorry sometimes I just say whatever pops into my head, you don't have to answer that, Percy is really protective about his friends and family. Nico is like our little brother, who happens to be what, at least 70 years older than us. I'm gonna shut up now cuz I am really hyper. Leo gave me some Mountain Dew!" I started to laugh some more. The girl, whose name I guess was Piper, said all that without breathing.

Jason's face paled, "You guys had Mountain Dew? Sorry Percy, I better go and stop Leo from blowing up the camp with a rubber band. He tried to explain to me how its done yesterday but, I fell asleep." Just then, a girl came into view up on the top of the hill. She had blond hair and was covered in grime and dirt. An expression of fear was plastered on her face.

"Camper!" Nico whispered and ran towards the girl. I was sure he wouldn't get there in time. I ran as fast as I could. Somewhere, I ended up passing Nico and in no time at all I was standing by the girl's side. I didn't have any weapons or anything, so I tried to get the girl across the camp border. Nico came up the side of the hill, sword drawn, ready to disintegrate the monster. Wow, this was an eventful day and I only woke up about an hour ago. The monster's attention turned towards Nico, I had no idea what it was. She looked downright ugly. The thing was like a vampire but with one leg bronze or something and the other was like a donkey hindquarter. As Nico was running, he took one look at the monster and froze, with the dreamiest expression I had ever seen on his face. The monster was approaching him and I started to panic. I felt an intense pain in my stomach. The next thing I saw was the monster drowning and everyone else was wet, even Percy, then, I blacked out.

Shannon's Point of View (I just like the name ok)

I was being chased by this crazy lady, who was saying random things that made no sense at all, when a girl came barreling towards me. She was a really fast runner. The girl tried to pull me towards the hill, I somehow knew it would be safe if I went with her. A boy who was, like, completely emo or goth or something, I don't know, he was dressed all in black and was really pale, came running towards the lady chasing me. He was holding something. At first it looked like a pure black stick of energy, but then I realized, it was a sword. Woah, a sword? The guy was hot, but the sword kind of freaked me out. Then he looked at the monster and froze. He had a dazed expression on his face and just stood there, as the lady was coming towards him, probably murmuring something about death. I hadn't realized the girl was still trying to pull me along as I watched the scene. She doubled over in pain and I quickly wondered what happened, when a huge wave of water roared onto the side of the hill.

When my vision cleared, the monster wasn't there anymore. The girl was laying there, sprawled out in the wet grass, but she was completely dry. I could see the boy leaning over her, murmuring words in another language. It sounded like a dead language, because I, for some reason, can understand any language I hear, except for dead languages, those take a little work to understand.

Another guy came over the hill and when he saw the girl lying there he paled, which was kind of weird looking because of his tan skin. He was like an older copy of the girl, but in boy form. The guy came over with a water bottle and knelt down next to the emo dude. The older guy tilted the water bottle to her mouth, but it wasn't water, the liquid was golden. She snapped her eyes open almost instantly. When ahe sat up, emo dude gave her a bone crushing hug. Aww, he was pretty cute, oh well.

"Andy, I may have known you for less than 24 hours but you are still my sister and I will not have you dying on me. Nico would be able to see you, but I wouldn't, so please don't die." The boy was still hugging her fiercely as the older guy was saying this. She was really pretty, however, she seemed only about 14. I was 15 almost 16, sometimes I wished I was older so I could get into the more advanced classes at school. Some of those problems are an insult to my intelligence even with my dyslexia.

As I was thinking, the girl's voice dragged me out of my daze, "Nico, please get off me. I can barely breathe." He pulled out of his bear hug and I saw a blush creeping up an his face. The older guy just started laughing, as if he had never seen the guy blush before, or even show any emotion besides hate.

"Who are you people?" My call seemed to end their oddness and bring them back to reality. They got up and walked over to me. I was surprised that I said anything, normally I wouldn't say anything, but I was having a really sucky day. Wait, actually, yesterday was sucky and so was last night, I just blended the days together.

The girl stretched out her hand to me while saying, "I'm Andromeda Jackson, but if you call me that I'd have to kill you. Call me Andy, I'm the daughter of Poseidon. You probably think I'm a wacko, but thats what I thought at first, and I haven't been here even 24 hours." She said this with a big smile on her face, I trusted this girl, she seemed really nice.

The older boy stretched out his hand, "Perseus Jackson, but if you call me that, I'd have to kill you, and before you say anything, she totally stole my line. Andy is my little sister." I started giggling a little. I felt good to laugh after my sucky adventure.

The emo guy didn't offer to shake my hand or anything, he just looked really embarrassed for some reason, "I'm Nico, son of Hades." Then, the girl whipped her head around and stared at him. She pulled him to the side and started whisper yelling at him. I couldn't hear her though. They came back over and the girl, I mean, Andy, asked, "What's your name?"

I replied, "Shannon, Shannon Greene."

So, tell me what you thought and please, no fowler language than what I have used in my story. Flames are accepted and I thank you for you honesty. I get that this chapter probably wasn't my best.
