Tides of Shadows: Percy Jackson Fanfiction, (Oc story)

flying in a bus

"Ruby!" she shot up then her head hit something,

"Ow!" she looked up and saw Percy rubbing his head while Sapphire stood behind him crossing her arms.

"Sorry," Ruby mumbled as she scooted away as she turned around. She searched for her headphones until she found them under the pillow

"I never seen you without your headphones, why?" Sapphire asked,

"None of your business," she said coldly, slightly turning her head toward Sapphire. She frowned slightly before turning to leave the tent.

"We're leaving soon," Percy said as he followed after sapphire. Ruby stayed sitting down until she heard the hunters packing away camp. She stood up and left the tent. She saw that the camp was already half-way packed away, and everybody was waiting for something near the cliff edge.

Soon the whole camp was packed up and it surprisingly took less than ten minutes. Then a blinding golden light came down from the sun landing in front of the group, Ruby and everyone else covered their eyes until the light died down enough where when they looked at it they wouldn't go blind. Ruby looked up and saw a cherry-red Maserati, with a tall and muscular man who was bronze like a baywatch lifeguard, long golden hair tied back into a 'man bun' with eyes that shone like the sun. He wore jeans, loafers, and a sleeveless t-shirt.

"Little sister!" he called, he smiled and his teeth were so white he could've blinded us without the flying car thing, "what's up, you never call. You never write. I was getting worried!"

Ruby heard Artemis sigh "I'm fine, Apollo. And I'm not your little sister."

"I was born first,"

"We're twins! How many millenia do we have to argue-"

"So what's up?" he interrupted, "got the girls with you, I see. Do you all need some tips on archery?"

Artemis grit her teeth, "I need a favor. I have some hunting to do alone. I need you to take my companions to camp half-blood,"

"Sure, sis!" Then he raised his hands in a stop everything gesture. "I feel a haiku coming on."

The Hunters all groaned. Apparently they'd met Apollo before. He cleared his throat and held up one hand dramatically.

"Green grass breaks through snow.

Artemis pleads for my help. I am so cool."

He grinned at us, waiting for applause.

"That last line was only four syllables," Artemis said. Apollo frowned.

"Was it?"

"Yes. What about I am so big-headed?"

"No, no, that's six syllables. Hmm." He started muttering to himself.

Zoe Nightshade turned to them. "Lord Apollo has been going through this haiku phase ever since he visited Japan. 'Tis not as bad as the time he visited Limerick. If I'd had to hear one more poem that started with, There once was a goddess from Sparta-"

"I've got it!" Apollo announced. "I am so awesome. That's five syllables!" He bowed, looking very pleased with himself. "And now, sis. Transportation for the Hunters, you say? Good timing. I was just about ready to roll."

"These demigods will also need a ride," Artemis said, pointing to us. "Some of Chiron's campers."

"No problem!" Apollo checked them out. "Let's see... Thalia, right? I've heard all about you." Thalia blushed.

"Hi, Lord Apollo."

"Zeus's girl, yes? Makes you my half sister. Used to be a tree, didn't you? Glad you're back. I hate it when pretty girls turn into trees. Man, I remember one time-"
