AN: So sorry I haven't written in awhile. I have a list of excuses that I'm pretty sure you don't want to hear, so on with the fanfic.

A.J

"ENOUGH!" A.J shouted. A ring of ruby red fire sprouted around Calypso, and another one sprouted around Annabeth. The fire became a series of ruby red chains that in turn wrapped themselves around Calypso and Annabeth. The chains then attached to Percy, Leo, Piper, Jason, Rachel, Thalia, and each other. Everybody looked at A.J in shock.

"What is this?" Calypso asked as she struggled. A.J walked over to her.

"Those are the one thing you can never escape." He said. "Those are your family ties." Suddenly, his sword was in his hand. He raised his sword above his head, as if to strike Calypso down. Leo made a move to help her, but A.J was already bringing the sword down. Instead of killing her, though, it ended up in the ground next to her head. "I will not tolerate any form of harm towards my family, do I make myself clear?" He asked in a deceptively calm voice. Calypso could only nod. A.J turned to Annabeth. "As for you, WHAT IN THE NAME OF HADES DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!?" The shout was so loud that it caused everyone to flinch. By this time, other campers were emerging from their cabins. A.J looked around, and picked his sword back up. It disappeared. He snapped his fingers, and the chains around Calypso and Annabeth vanished. Leo helped Calypso up, while Percy helped up Annabeth.

"What was that all about?" Jason asked. Before A.J could answer, Chiron walked up.

"What is this racket?" He asked. Then, seeing Leo, he smiled. He turned back to the campers, who were standing a little ways away. "To the dining hall! We will celebrate!" Nobody really knew what was going on, but they all cheered anyway. After all, a Greek party is second to none. Then, everybody went over to the dining Hall.

Leo was regaling the Hephaestus cabin with tales of his adventures after the giant war, while Calypso sat at his side, interjecting where necessary. Percy and Annabeth were going around and talking to the other cabins, same with Piper and Jason. Thalia was hanging out with a group of girls dressed similarly to her, and Rachel was sitting at the head table with Chiron and A.J.

"So, A.J, have you figured out where we place you?" Chiron asked him. A.J nodded.

"Do you have a shrine to Hestia?" He asked. Chiron nodded.

"Of course."

"Would it be alright if I stayed there?" A.J asked. Chiron looked surprised.

"Whatever for?" He asked. Rachel leaned over.

"He thinks he's Hestia's son." She said. Chiron looked over at her, then looked back at A.J.

"Is this true?" Chiron asked. A.J nodded. Chiron placed a hand on his chin, in a thinking gesture. Then, he breathed out a long sigh. "Very well, you may sleep in the shrine of Hestia."

"Thank you." A.J said. "Is it alright if I get to sleep now? I've had a long day." Chiron nodded.

"Of course young one. Goodnight." A.J nodded and stood up. He then left the Dining Hall, but unknown to him, he was watched.

A.J finally found the shrine, after about ten minutes of searching. It was a small gray building, only one story, one room. It had a pointed roof, and a wooden door. When A.J went inside, he found a statue of a little girl resting on a mantle over a hearth. There were a pile of hogs in the hearth, as if someone was ready to burn them. There was almost nothing else in the room, save for a medium sized pillow in front of the hearth. A.J sat down near the pillow, ready to fall asleep, when there was a knock on the door. A.J stood up and opened the door. There stood a living version of a Barbie Doll. She had WAY to much makeup to appear like anything else.

"Hiya Hun. My name is Drew." Said the Barbie girl. "I think you and I should get to know each other better."

PERCY

Percy was chatting with Annabeth about how Mr. D would look drunk, when there was an enormous crash. Everybody looked over towards the sound. They saw a small column of ruby red fire.

"Di Immortals." Said Percy as he sprinted towards the fire. He was dimly aware of other campers behind him, but his attention was on the column of fire. Then it was on the two figures near it. One was A.J, and the other was Drew. Oh, this cant be good. Percy thought. Te thought was only confirmed when he heard A.J shout.

"HARE DRAE YOU TRY TO CHARMSPEAK ME!" He shouted. He walked over to where Drew was, lying on the ground. He picked her up, and threw her as hard as he could straight back to the ground. It was at that time that Percy tackled him to the ground.

"What are you doing?" He asked A.J.

"Nobody charmspeaks me!" A.J said furiously. "Let go of me now!" Just then Piper came up.

"I'll take care of Drew. Relax, I'll make her sorry for this offense. I'm her counselor." She said to A.J. He appeared to calm down. Percy got off of him. A.J stood up, dusted himself off, then he turned to Piper.

"You had better." He said. Then he turned towards the shrine. He walked through the empty door frame, as the door itself was shattered when he threw Drew through it. He then lied on the ground, with his head on the pillow, and fell asleep. Chiron came riding up.

"That boy has the right idea." He said. "All of you, to your cabins." With that, everyone went to their separate cabins and went to sleep.

RACHEL

Rachel was staring into a fire in her residential cave. She had been having flashes of insight ever since A.J had shown up, so she was waiting for the full prophecy to reveal itself. Just then, Rachel's vision went black. Then, an image of a ruby red flame appeared, with a hand stretching out. It then shifted to a vision of many silhouettes, which then shifted to a vision of a town. The vision then shifted to a group of people, all girls, with boys chained to walls at the side. It then shifted to a pile of boxes before shifting to an image of a scythe. Her vision then went black, before it returned to normal. Rachel leaned towards the fire. "So, that's what's going on." She whispered to the flames. "Half blood claimed by fire's hand..."

AN: Hey, so I got this chapter done. That means it's the perfect time for me to tell you some news. I have decided to write multiple chapters and then upload them all at once, unless a special circumstance comes along. So, enjoy this chapter and tell me what you think.
