Hidden in Plain Sight

Annabeth and Jason sit in the kitchen, her polishing her knife and him pouring cereal into a bowl. He takes a bite. Annabeth looks up and wrinkles her nose. How he can eat that sickeningly sweet stuff, she has no idea. "I talked to Reyna last night," Jason says, his voice echoing around the mostly empty kitchen. Everyone else is still in bed or showering, even Coach Hedge. "Hmm?" Annabeth's hands stop moving over the blade, and she glances at him. "She didn't have any updates," Jason continues, "They're still in the same area, moving at the same pace. But she seemed really…I don't know. Odd. I mean, she wouldn't meet m

When Mrs. Jackson walked downstairs to get herself a midnight—well, eleven o'clock—snack, she barely even glanced at the light coming out of the living room. (Being pregnant, and therefore constantly hungry, really diminishes one's perceptiveness.) It was only after she'd loaded a plate full of white rice, soy sauce, and maraschino cherries that she heard a soft voice coming from the other room. Frowning, she shoved a bite of sweet and salty heaven in her mouth and padded into the living room. That was when she noticed the light; her son was sitting on the couch, talking on what had to be their house phone. She decided t

This takes place right after RICK RIORDAN'S FIRST CHAPTER, so you may want to hear that before you read this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRa3e0IuVJs Please enjoy. Annabeth forced that cold, shivery feeling out of her mind and gazed below them. A sea of purple t-shirts (much like the one Jason first wore) covered in battle armor awaited the crew of the Argo II. Two people wearing togas stood before the crowd. As they got closer, Annabeth could see that one of them had very dark hair, almost like… Suddenly, Annabeth's heart was pounding so against her chest so hard she thought her ribs would break. Annabeth tried not to

Reyna was not nervous. She was…anxious. Yes. That was it. Her hands were shaking because of anxiousness, not nerves. The paleness of her face (which had caused Percy to remark, "You look like one of those Elizabethan ladies. You know, with the lead?") was caused by the idea of seeing Jason again—not that she was nervous about that, exactly. Just excited. Leaders don't get nervous, Reyna had thought. And even if they do, they can't show it. Weaknesses are stupid, trivial matters that cannot be acknowledged, no matter what. Even as the ship approached, she kept her nerves in check. She and Percy walked closer to greet wh

"When Annette gets here, can I show her my action figures?" I sighed, sitting down on a bar stool. "No, Jeffery. We'll have to leave really soon." "Why?" "The movie starts at twelve, remember? We don't want to be late." "Oh, yeahhh." A moment of blissful silence passed, then, "Are you going to kiss her?" I dropped my head into my hands. Fielding Jeffery's questions was always exhausting, but he'd managed to reach a new level of inquisitiveness today. Getting ready for your first date was supposed to be nerve-wracking enough without the added stress of dealing with an over-excited kid brother. "Listen, how about I

Summary: Peter offers my favorite liar a little recognition. Note: Contains minor spoilers for Curveball: The Year I Lost My Grip and Zen and the Art of Faking it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm sitting on the top step in front of the school, waiting for my mom to drive me to Angelika's house. This time, my girlfriend isn't mad at me—thank god—and I'm not caught in multiple half-truths.

V is For Vision

Day 216, A.P.D. I've been dreaming a lot lately. This is good because it means I am able to receive appropriate levels of R.E.M sleep, despite the stressful situations at hand. Most of these dreams are the kind in which I can control what I think and do, but not what the dream itself does. The one I had last night was that kind of dream. It started out normally enough, with memories thrown into a quick and blurry slideshow. Needless to say, these snippets made me relive my acrimony all over again. Then, the predictable images stopped abruptly. Fog had swirled around thickly—an asthmatic's nightmare. When my vision started to

Owen Sachar • Is 17 • Has short, blonde-ish/brown-ish hair • Is 6'1" • Is a son of Hestia Being a son of Hestia, Owen spends most of his time at home. This is not, as one would expect, because he enjoys his family's company, or because he just enjoys being there. No, Owen is actually quite socially awkward. He has been labeled by most of his peers as a "nerd" or a "geek;" therefore, he is not invited to movies or parties by those who are considered popular. Owen doesn't mind this too much, though, as he'd rather spend his time reading or researching. What does he research? Black holes. They have, quite literally, su

During the weeks before Valentine's Day, Camp Half Blood was buzzing with excitement. The Aphrodite campers had gone crazy with the decorating—every cabin was thoroughly sprinkled in red, pink, purple, and white. Even the Ares cabin wore a heart-shaped wreath on its door. Annabeth had been pretty excited about the upcoming holiday, as well. After all, it was the first Valentine's Day that she'd have an actually Valentine for—one who wasn't missing. For the first time in years, she was happy about February 14's arrival, instead of dreading it because of her singleness. And

My Bio

Hi! The first thing you should know about me is that I do not draw; I write. I love writing original stories, and I hope to publish my work. Editing other people's work is something I enjoy doing, too.
Besides writing, the other thing I love to do is DANCE! I take just about everything you can think of, from Hip Hop, to Lyrical, to Ballroom. Broadway, here I come!
I love, love, love, love to read, as well. My favorite book series is Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Percabeth!). Maureen Johnson and John Green are my all-time favorite authors.
Basketball is my favorite sport, mainly because I play it (I know, I know, what don't I do?). I'm a forward (right by the basket), because I am very tall.
I doubt anyone will read this, but if you do, thanks.

Woah. I Disapeared

0 min read

Um, hi. I realize I've been gone a while, and for that, I apologize. I know how it feels to check an author's page and have my heart sink when I see they've written nothing. Honestly, I don't know if I'll write anything for you guys/gals soon. I feel like it, but I haven't written anything yet. Inspiration is fleeting, especially when I'm waiting for the real authors to write the books I'm anticipating. However, there is something that is really inspiring me right now. That something is NEEDTOBREATHE. They are a band--a rock band, from South Carolina. They're great. I greatly encourage you to look up their music. If you don't like them, that

MARK OF ATHENA!!!

0 min read

First, I think it's pretty obvious that this will contain a million spoilers. You've been warned. Okay, I finished Mark of Athena this morning, and though it was so good. Percy and Annabeth's reuion was (too me) just okay, but it was MORE THAN MADE UP FOR by the scene in the ship's hull. :heart: Melt me, why don't you, Rick. And there was plenty of sweet little things throughout the book. I am very glad with the way the prophecy worked out; Annabeth didn't die, and she and Percy stayed together. Thank gods. I really wished that she and Percy had some more time together after Annabeth's ordeal with Arachne. I would have loved it if they could

Dear everybody, I've been in a huge Percabeth/Mark of Athena mood today, and I've been searching the interent for something satisfying, something that would make me happy. And I found it!! It's a summary for The Mark of Athena on Rick's website, and it's very long and very cute.
