This book has some characters from my other book, The Forbidden Child. You don't have to read it, though.

DISCLAIMER: Percy Jackson and the Olympians does not belong to me.

"Just a little bit longer…" a strained voice yells. "Hang on, you can do it."

I'm in something to the effect of a swirling vortex. It feels like I'm being sucked in by a giant vacuum. Then I hear the voice again, "Don't let go. We can make it. We'll stop this all, I promise." BANG! A bright light flashes and everything goes dark.

Later…

"Hey, are you okay?!?" a voice asked.

Ugh. My head was pounding and I felt dizzy. I decided to open my eyes. I was met by two completely black eyes. I tried to lift my head but gave up the attempt. I closed my eyes and slipped back into unconsciousness.

The next time I awoke, I saw the sleeping form of the girl with black eyes. I looked closely at her; she had black, shaggy hair, black clothes, and a red, plaid coat. She looked distressed, even in her sleep. My eyes felt heavy… I fell asleep again.

"Chiron, I think she's waking up!" a new voice said. I opened my eyes to see a girl with blonde hair and gray, intelligent eyes looking at me. She had a nice tan and an athletic body.

"Ah good, it's about time." I turned to look at the additional voice. It's a man with a scraggly beard and a kind face. He was in a wheelchair.

"Umm… where am I?" as I asked this question, I realize that not only do not know where I am, but where I came from. Or for that matter, anything about myself.

"You my dear, are at Camp Half-Blood, the home for half mortal half god children." the man I presume to be Chiron, said.

"Yeah, welcome to camp! My name is Annabeth. I think you'll like it here!" the blonde girl said.

I had nothing to say. I wasn't even sure what to think. Mostly, I was confused. I felt like a lost puppy with no where to go, but guess that's me.

Chiron looked at me. "I don't believe I've introduced myself properly, I'm Chiron, the activities director here. And your name is?"

"…I - I" I can't believe it! I don't even know my own name.

"Well?" Annabeth asked impatiently.

"Umm… I don't remember… anything…"

"Oh dear. You don't remember anything at all?" Chiron asked.

"No…" I thought for a moment. "Well, I do remember a voice. It was telling me to hang on, and to not let go. It said we could stop something… It promised something, but I'm not sure what."

Chiron looked deep in thought. "Do you remember where you were during this conversation?"

"Yes, I was in a vortex, I guess. I'm not sure how to explain. It was really colorful and I felt like a giant vacuum was trying to suck me into something. Then, a flash of light illuminated everything, and then it all went dark."

"Hmm…" Chiron seemed puzzled. "It's best not to dwell on the past…"

"So, I think you need a name." Annabeth said.

Just the, a girl walked into the room. It was the girl with black eyes. "Is there anything I can do?" Then she looked over at me. "Oh, you're finally awake! By the way, my name is Lyla, daughter of Mania." "Who's Mania?" I asked.

"Chiron, you haven't told her?" Lyla asked.

"Not yet! I suppose now is a good time." Chiron told me about Greek mythology and how there are gods and goddesses that have certain powers. He also told me about titans and the war they fought against them about two years ago.

"So, do you have any questions?" Annabeth asked.

"I - I don't think so… At least now I have a purpose, and I'm not completely in the dark. This seems kind of far fetched, though."

"It's a lot to take in. And adding into the mixture that you have no idea who you are, it must be confusing." Lyla said.

"I think the best thing to do right now is to go and introduce her to all the campers." Chiron suggested.

"That's a good idea." Annabeth said.

"I'll do it!" Lyla and Annabeth both said at the same time.

"You can both do it." Chiron told them.

"I guess…" I heard one of them mumble. I climbed out of bed and the three of us walked out of the building.

"So anyways, back to giving you a name." Annabeth said. "I was thinking something like Natasha or Mary."

"No, she needs something strong, like Roxanne." Lyla said.

"NO! She needs-" Annabeth began.

A voice seemed to whisper in my ear the name Evangeline. "Evangeline. It has to be Evangeline."

"Evangeline?!?" they both asked me.

"It has to be. That's what it has to be." I said. I wasn't sure why, but I knew it was the perfect name.

"You know what Evangeline means?" Annabeth asked me.

"No, why?"

"It means 'angel' in Latin."

"Well that's defiantly a strong name, then!" Lyla said.

I wonder why I chose that name…

"Here's all the cabins, Evangeline. You know, you really need a nickname. It'll get old saying Evangeline all the time. Let's think, how about umm… VANNIE! It's perfect!" Lyla yelled.

"You're right! Vannie is perfect!" Annabeth said.

"Sure, Vannie it is." I said.

"Great, so anyways… this is my cabin. Actually it's my mom's cabin, Athena." Annabeth told me.

I looked at it and all the other cabins. We were walking past the stables when someone darted in front of us. He was tall and slightly muscular with pale skin and bright carrot orange hair. As our eyes connected, something familiar passed between us. His silver eyes got real wide and a look of surprise crossed his face. He opened his mouth to say something when a big, tall, muscular girl tackled him. They both fell to the ground and the girl pulled out a knife. She started yelling something in ancient Greek. I understood every word she said, which might not have been so good. She had quite a gift with words. Annabeth said, "Hurry let's get out of here!" We all ran far away from there and finally collapsed by a huge tree.

"Who were they?" I asked.

"The girl's name is Clarisse. She's the biggest, meanest, ugliest, smelliest-"

"She's a daughter of Ares. He's the war god." Annabeth said. "And I think the boy's name is Malakai. He just came to camp, too." A strange look crossed her face. "Malakai means angel, too. That's unusual."

"Yeah… very strange." I wonder if I know him. He seemed very familiar. And he acted like he recognized me as well.

"Hey look! There's Percy and Vlad!" Annabeth and Lyla both seemed happy for a change. We walked over to the two boys and Annabeth introduced us. Percy, Annabeth boyfriend, was average height with dark hair and sea green eyes. He was Poseidon's son, which they told me, was the sea god. The other man, Vlad, was tall with pale skin and coal black hair. He had solid black eyes just like his sister.

Once we were all done talking, we walked back to the big house. Annabeth told me I would be staying in Hermes cabin until I was claimed.

I asked, "Do one of you guys have a mirror?" I didn't have the faintest idea as to what I looked like. Annabeth handed me a mirror and I looked into it. I saw dark black (almost purple) hair, electric blue eyes, and a strong jaw line. I had semi-dark skin and a petite body.

"You're probably what, seventeen eighteen years old?" Lyla asked.

"I don't know. How old are you guys?" I asked this because we all looked about the same age.

"I just turned sixteen and Annabeth is eighteen, right?" Lyla said.

"Right. Vannie, you look in between our ages. I'd say you're about seventeen." Annabeth told me.

"Great, now I know one more thing about myself."

Annabeth looked down at her watch. "Ah man, we missed supper! I we hurry, maybe we can make it to the camp fire." We ran to the place where the fire was and sat down. Chiron was making announcements.

"Capture the Flag will be tomorrow night directly after dinner. I will tell you each team before the game. In other news, here is our new camper, err…"

"Evangeline." I told him.

"Right. This Evangeline everyone. We'd all like to wish you an enjoyable time here at Camp Half-Blood!" Chiron yelled as all the campers said, 'Here, here!'

I sat back down between Annabeth and Lyla. I looked around and saw Malakai looking at me. He seemed to be trying to say something to me, but I couldn't hear it over the singing.

After the camp fire, it was time for bed. I followed my camp counselors, Connor and Travis Stoll to the cabin. They introduced me to everyone and I laid down in an empty bunk. Soon, everyone but me was asleep. Someone walked into the cabin and laid down in an empty bunk. I recognized him as Malakai. I guess he hadn't been claimed yet, either… I wonder what he had been doing out so late. I thought about this as I fell asleep.

So, I revised the first chapter. I hope it's better now. Thanks to Theia 47 for pointing out everything.

Well, I hope you liked it! Please keep reading and review if you wish!
