Hello Everyone! I adopted this story from xx-Don't-Let-Me-In-xx to kind of test out the figurative waters of FanFiction... :0)... The story will become all my writing around Chapter 8 (I think...) Well, here it goes!

Huulloo. Sadie Kane here. Carter's ticked off and won't speak because of... ah, we'll get to that.

(Shut up, Carter. You're supposed to be silent. Stop cutting in.)

Anyways, here I am, standing in front of the Empire State building. I know, I know. I'm not supposed to be here, Manhattan has enough problems without Carter and me barging in. Carter already filled me in on all that. But hey, rules are meant to be broken, right?

So, wow. The Empire State building is big. For some reason, Carter keeps glancing upwards. He says there's something up there, like the Empire State Building has a mini wave of fog clouding the top. Carter's insisting that when there's gaps through the fog, he swears he can see statues staring down at him.

Creepy. I've looked up and I don't see anything.

We entered the building. There's a random dude sitting at the reception desk. He saw us and frowned.

"May we use the elevator?" Carter asked. The guy just gestured towards the corner. We nodded and walk there, but Carter suddenly stops.

"There are more floors than the elevator show there are, isn't it?"

I stared at him. "Carter!" I hissed, jabbing him in the ribs. He winced. Always the wimp, my bro.

Carter glared at me, then continued interrogating the annoyed looking guy. "Right?" He asked.

The doorman scowled. "Another bunch?" He muttered under his breath. I glanced at him, puzzled. Carter lets out a triumphant caw.

(Carter - shut. Up. It was a caw! My story time.)

"What bunch?" I asked. The doorman glared at me, one eyebrow raised as if asking if we're serious.

"Fine. Go up." He throws me a bunch of keys. "Just don't attract too many monsters."

Okay. What?

I open my mouth to speak, but Carter clamps his hand over it.

"Oh, okay. Sure. No prob." He sends a fake smile over at the doorman. "Come on, Sadie."

I glared at him but followed. Carter presses the button to the elevator. It opens.

There are several floors. Crossing my arms, I leaned over to a corner of the elevator and watched as Carter inserts the keys into the keyhole.

Immediately, one more floors pop up. I stare at the number. 600.

"Woah." Carter mumbles, retracting the key. He leans back to look at the number.

I dart forward and press the floor. Carter tries to stop me, but fails, and stares at me with wide, frightened eyes.

"Sadie!"

I glance innocently back at him. (Shut up, Carter, I am innocent.) Carter jabs me on the arm.

"What?" I asked. Carter sticks his hand into his bag, reaching for his weapon. I did the same.

"What if there are monsters or other stuff up there? We don't know what's there, Sadie." Carter said cautiously. I grinned at him. He was such a sissy. (Shut UP Carter! My turn recording!)

"Exactly. So, naturally, we have to check it out."

"You could have at least let me look at it for a while longer."

I raised an eyebrow. "And leave you to stare at what? These numbers?" I gestured at the bland letterings.

Carter glared at me and leaned back. I smirked at him. Won that argument.

Music starts blasting loudly from the speakers. I grimace at Carter. Whoever chose the music for this elevator had really bad taste.

Finally, the elevator 'ding's open. I rush out, Carter right after me.

One look around and I've forgotten my name. Golden statues. Enormous Grecian Columns. Swirling and twisting clouds full of lightning. A gigantic golden door…

Carter also glanced around, but he's frowning. "Six hundredth floor...?" He questioned.

It's then when I noticed the statue. It's of a frowning lady, and bore the resemblance to...

"Sekhmet's cow. Hathor." I whispered, horrified.

Carter glances over, alarmed. Then suddenly the castle doors open and a girl runs out.

She runs straight into Carter. I stare at her, startled. She has curly blond hair and her eyes were a stormy grey. She was wearing an orange t-shirt that read 'Camp Half Blood'. Underneath were a bunch of letters and words I didn't understand.

"Greek." Carter says. The girl glances up, her eyes widening.

"You-" She started, then stopped. She pointed to herself questioningly.

"You're t-shirt has Greek on it." Carter says firmly. Then he turns to me. "Remember the Rosetta Stone? It had Greek carved onto it. Dad showed me."

I nodded slowly. Then I looked at the girl.

She stared back at me. "Are you guys demigods?"

Carter and my eyes went wide. She couldn't have known we had Isis and Horus inside us before, right? But she had a funny way of saying that. Demigods?

"Wh-What?" I asked slowly. My voice came out squeaky.

The girl shakes her head. "You guys probably don't know that yet. But you're here... so that means… And the doorman's really strict..." She stopped herself and stuck out her hand.

"I'm Annabeth, Designer of Olympus."

Carter stared at her. "...Olympus?"

The girl looked at him wearily. "Olympus. Do you guys know the Greek gods?"

Okay. Greek gods. What?

Then Amos's words popped into my head. Manhattan has other problems. Other gods.

"Oh no," I mouth to Carter. I get it now!

I coughed. "I think I need to sit down. Are we actually on Olympus right now?"

"Yes." Annabeth said. She smiled kindly at me. "You need to come with me. I know a safe place for people like you. Like us."

People like us?

"Do monsters chase you? Weird things happen? Got kicked out of school?" Annabeth continued.

Carter shook his head. "I've never been to a school. I was home schooled. Sadie here..."

"Oh, yeah." I smiled sheepishly. "I've been kicked out a few times... For breaking the dress code. And chewing gum."

That reminds me. The gum had gone stale in my mouth from it hanging open.

(Stop smirking, Carter.)

Annabeth shook her head. "No, not that. Supernatural stuff."

Supernatural.

"Annabeth." I couldn't help myself from blurting out. "Are you possessed by a Greek god?"

Carter started to choke. Annabeth stared at me like I had grown another head.

"Possessed? No, no. I'm not... possessed."

Now it was my turn to stare at her. "Then what..."

"You," Annabeth said firmly. "Need to come with me."

Typical.

On our way to the mysterious destination, Camp Half Blood, Annabeth filled us in on what she was talking about. Carter and I kept wisely silent, only occasionally choking here and there.

So basically, Annabeth is the child of a mortal and a Greek god.

How messed up is that?

Anyways, apparently when we got to camp, we would be determined whether we are clear-sighted mortals or demigods. If we're mortal, Annabeth said, then Chiron has to come and manipulate the mist. It's more likely that we're demigods though, since we did meet on the six-hundredth floor of the Empire State Building.

The car door opened. I quickly got out of the car, away from the old ladies with one eyeball. It was unnerving.

Carter looked as green as I felt as he watched the taxi drive away. Annabeth beckoned us forward, towards what appeared to be a strawberry farm. I took a step.

What I saw was surprising. Green meadows, children battling each other with swords, big and elaborate cabins. In front of us was a big brown board with weird inscriptions on it.

I didn't bother asking Annabeth what the words meant, since Carter whispered 'Camp Half-Blood' to me. Annabeth pointed inside. "Go on."

I stared at her in surprise but took a step forward. As soon as Carter and I were both inside, Annabeth came in.

"Congratulations," She said, then wrinkled her nose. "No, I wouldn't say congratulations. But you're a demigod!"

Huh?

A person came bounding towards us. No. Not a person. A horse. No, wait. It was a person. Half horse, half person.

I stared at him, my eyes wide. Carter was doing the same.

"Uh." I started to say, but Annabeth jumped towards him with a smile.

"This is Chiron. Trainer of camp, remember? The person I told you about?"

Chiron smiled kindly at us, eyes crinkling. He had a sort of glint in his eyes that told me he had been through a lot more than he looked like.

"And who might these children be?" He asked warmly. Annabeth sobered.

"Two new demigods. But they're over thirteen. At least, the boy is."

What? Offensive much?

"Do not be offended." Chiron said, as if reading my mind. "It's just that most children are already claimed at the age of thirteen."

Claimed? Oh, right. Being marked by a godly parent. Chiron then turned to Annabeth. "Gods are not usually that good at keeping promises. They'll claim them the next few days, I hope."

Annabeth nodded. They started having a conversation while Carter pulled me aside.

"This is crazy." He murmured to me. I nodded, missing my gum.

"Yeah, but this time we know it could be real."

Carter frowned. "Yeah. What will we do when they realize that we don't have a Greek god as a parent?"

I shrugged. "Run?"

Carter opened his mouth to say something else, but hewas cut off by gasping. People were staring at us, and I looked to Carter to find something floating on his head.

It was a green and black bubble with the amulet of Orisis on it. Our father. I subconsciously touched my necklace, and sure enough, the symbol matched the one on Carter's head.

"Sadie!" Carter hissed. "Your head!"

"You too!" I hissed back. Carter glanced up, startled. I do the same.

There's the same symbol floating above my head. The amulet, green and black.

Woah, dad. Way to betray our identity.

There's the sound of hooves and I look down to see Chiron galloping over. He looks at our symbol and starts muttering something in a language I didn't understand.

"Greek." Carter told me.

Even I, who could not understand Greek, could tell that Chiron was cursing. He paced across the floor, his tail flicking irritatedly.

"Οι δύο κόσμοι δεν πρέπει να συγκρουστούν..." (A.N. It means 'The two worlds must not collide...' Haha got that from Google Translate. If it seems wrong, PM/Review to tell me! :D) He muttered. Annabeth stared at him, concerned, then turned to us.

"What... Is that thing?" She asked Carter, pointing to his head. I caught Carter's eye and we agreed silently on an answer.

"We don't know." We said simultaneously. Annabeth paused, then raised an eyebrow.

"Listen." She said. "I'm a daughter of Athena, and she's the goddess of knowledge. You too obviously know what that is, and it most definitely isn't something Greek." She peered up once again at our symbol, then frowned.

I stared at Carter helplessly as Annabeth stood on her toes to observe the symbol. Finally, she leaned back.

"Egyptian. You guys have an Egyptian symbol on your head." she said, looking a tiny bit frightened.

"The symbol of Osiris."

Well, what do you all think? Please let me know!
