BOOK TITLE: A Second Chance
SUMMERY: The Giant War has ended, but with many deaths. Percy Jackson, the only survivor of the seven, wishes for a Reset Button, to change the way things went, a second chance. The Fates were merciful for the demigod, granting his wish. Imagine his surprise when he woke up at the young age of twelve, in his old bedroom. The most surprising thing? Percy Jackson is now Persephone Jackson. Basically, Percy gets a chance to redo things but as a girl. Can be read as a oneshot. Probably will contain OCs (Original Characters) later on.
PARINGS: Female Percy/Luke
CHAPTER TITLE: The Mysterious Woman
PERSEPHONE: played by Ryan Newman.
ANNABETH: played by Hattie Gotobed
AN: THANK YOU! A big THANK YOU to all those who favourited, followed and reviewed! Sorry for the short chapter, I haven't had much inspiration lately. Ok, this is were the story starts to change a bit…

Big brown eyes glared into the mirror as a slightly pale hand gripped a pair of scissors, bringing it up to long, luscious dark brown hair. Persy watched in horror. What is she doing? Who is this person? Persy asked herself. The person whipped around as if hearing Persy's thoughts. "W-Who's there?" A light, yet powerful, feminine voice stuttered. Persy frowned, she knew that voice, but where from…
"Come to tease me? Whoever you are, I bet you're enjoying seeing me in pain!" Persy felt sympathy fill her at the young woman's words. "Wait! PERSEPHONE ANASTASIYA JACKSON! Get out! Get out! Get out!" The woman frantically waved her hands in Persy's general direction. A wave of gold shot out of the woman's hands, hitting Persy in the chest.

Persy gasped as she jumped up, feeling a faint tingle running through her veins. "Are you okay?" Persy whipped around to see Annabeth, Luke and Grover watching her with worried eyes. Persy gazed into Luke's blue eyes, surprised to see genuine concern in them. "Yeah, where are we?" They were sitting on the bus, having just left CHB.
"Um… Don't you remember? We just got near Manhattan and you just… Collapsed!" Annabeth scooted closed to her best friend, feeling like bawling. She didn't remember… What had happened? Annabeth had no answer, and that was what worried her.
Persy frowned, Manhattan? Oh no… Persy looked down the bus and gulped when she saw three people, three old hags. The Furies…
"Annabeth…" All four of them sat up straight. They glanced at each other as a young voice called out to them. "Annabeth, psst!" Annabeth walked over to the voice. Annabeth's eyes widened at what she saw. "What the Hades are you doing here?" She whispered furiously to… Whatever it was.
"I wanted to go with you!" Annabeth sighed. "Come on! You're not coming with us! As soon as we get to Manhattan, you are going home!" Annabeth pulled the thing over to them, revealing a young girl, around their age, looking very, very guilty.
"Guys, this is my younger half-sister Astrid Winter." (AN: Astrid Winter belongs to TheAwesomePercyJacksonFangirl) "Astrid, this is Persy-" Persy grinned widely at her, Astrid smiled back at her, "-Grover-" Grover nodded before going back to his tin can, WAIT! When did he get that? Oh well, "-And you already know Luke." Luke waved.
"Annabeth, why can't I go with you? I'm ready for this!" Astrid asked her older sister. Annabeth just frowned at her. "You've only been at camp for a year and a half!" Astrid huffed, "and she only just got here!" She gestured to Persy, who tried not to pay attention to the argument. "Yeah, but Hades himself gave her this quest! She HAS to go! You, however, don't!" Astrid plopped on the seat beside Persy and promptly frowned at her sister.
"Hey, Astrid, trust me, a quest isn't all it's cracked up to be. We're going to the Underworld! We don't even know if we'll live!" Persy told the slightly younger girl. Astrid's eyes filled with tears. "I know, but I wanna prove myself to my cabin! I've only ever been seen as the baby, Josh Winter's daughter! I just wanted to prove myself." She whispered. Persy remembered Josh Winter, he was basically know as the next Einstein. It kinda makes sense that Athena 'loved' him.
"I know what that's like! I'm Poseidon's daughter, people expect me to be, look and act a certain way, and I can assure you that your chance to shine will come." Persy was being completely honest, Astrid, from Percy's life at least, worked as a ancient history teacher at Scholars School for the Academic (AN: made up school… I hope…) and was know world wide as one of the smartest women to ever live.
Astrid nodded. "I suppose you're right, but, can I come on one of your quests?" "Maybe." Now that was something she couldn't promise. "Ok." "I need to go to the bathroom!" Persy cursed in her head. She had forgotten about the furies! Dam it!

"Well…that was chaotic." Astrid commented. Persy nodded while Annabeth, Luke and Grover stared at the flaming bus. "It went a lot better last time…" Persy muttered lowly.
Persephone, remember where this lead you last time. Do not forget… the lulling voice that Persy had heard at Yancy Academy whispered. Persy frowned. AM I GOING CRAZY?! She yelled at herself. "Come on, guys. Let's find shelter, Astrid, stay with the mortals." Astrid crinkled her nose at Annabeth. "NO! Why?" Annabeth just sighed. "Chiron will hear about the crash, and send someone to clear it up. You'll stay here to greet them" Annabeth commanded her little sister.
"Ughh!" Astrid stomped off into to crowd of mortals. "Let's go." Luke grabbed Persy's hand and started dragging her forward. Persy looked behind her to see Annabeth and Grover following behind, hiding their laughter at their best friends situation.

In an unknown area…
"What? Are you sure?" Lachesis asked, pacing. A beautiful young woman with brunette hair and brown eyes nodded. "Positive. Persephone Jackson is more powerful then you thought, she did appear to me invisible after all. Perhaps it has something to do with that Perseus Jackson you were telling me about?" Atropos nodded, listening to the woman's words. "We will see. You must go, before the gods get suspicious." The woman rolled her eyes. "Yes, Lady Fates." With a flash, the woman disappeared. Clotho entered the room. "Lachesis, Atropos, what was she doing here?" Atropos looked away guiltily. "She had come concerns about our experiment."
Clotho frowned at Lachesis. "Alright, if you say so…"

AN: The next chapter should be Medusa. Sorry if the story doesn't really follow the books, I'm trying. What do you think of the woman? Yes the woman from the top and the bottom are the same, and they are in the books! The woman is not a Original Character. TheAwesomePercyJacksonFangirl, what did you think of Astrid Winter? No, Lachesis and Atropos aren't bad, they are just… Goddesses. Please review, the more reviews, the more inspiration! (AKA: the more guilty I get that I haven't done anything.) Who do you think the woman is? Until next time!
