2nd Generation

Intro

Hi, I'm Melody Jackson, I'm a second generation half-blood. I know what you're thinking, 'Oh my gosh, is your dad Percy Jackson??!! '. Well, yes, yes he is. My mom is Annabeth Chase as you might have guessed. I'm the daughter of two of the most famous half-bloods of their generation. Yeah, it's a lot to live to up to. But I'm not worried. Too much anyway.
If you know about my parents then you probably know that my dad's dad is Poseidon and my mom's mom is Athena. Talk about a family rivalry. Family reunions are the worst!!! Grandma and grandpa are always fighting over the smallest things. 'I get to take Melody to the Parthenon' 'No I get to take her!'. Why do gods have to be so dramatic?
We used to live in New Rome, but moved when I was ten. Now we live in San Diageo, California. We moved so I could get in some real monster fighting practice before I went to Camp Half-blood, and so I could see what the real world was like.
I know what you're thinking now. 'Isn't being a half-blood dangerous, even for second generations?'. Well yeah, it is. My dad goes on and on and on about how careful I need to be. 'My math teacher turned into a fury, yours can too!'. I'm twelve. I think I can take care of myself by now, Dad!
I'm not scared of fighting monsters. I have my dad's sword, Riptide, which always returns to my pocket, my mom's Yankees invisibility cap (which Athena fixed after the war), and a new knife. All of which were presents for my twelfth birthday, which was a few months ago (December 20). Plus, my parents have already started training me. I'm good with both my sword and knife. I've got all my parents skill (and trust me, they are VERY skilled) and all of their powers which is unusual for second generations ( I also got a pegasi named Spades, after her dad, Blackjack, my dad's pegasi.)
​Anyway, something else you should know about me, I have strawberry-blond hair and freckles and I'm also kind of pale. But my mom has bright blond hair, my dad has jet black hair, and they're both pretty tan. I look nothing like my dad. Well except for my eyes. They change colors, so sometimes they're gray, sometimes they're green, and sometimes they look blue. I know, I know 'how' you ask. Well, before my mom and dad started dating, my dad had a thing for this mortal girl named Rachel. Rachel eventually became the oracle at camp and well dumped my dad before they even started dating, but we'll get into that later.
So, there are two gods who hate my parents more than any other half-blood of their generation. Ares, the god of war, absolutely HATES my dad, all because my dad beat him in a sword fight. Hera, goddess of marriage, queen of heaven, wife of Zeus, etc., HATES my mom mostly, but definitely does NOT like my dad. My parents know one of them did it, because when I was born they got an anonymous card that said something like," HAHA!! Your daughter will be cursed to have RED hair just like Rachel Elisabeth Dare!! This is a prank, because I'm a god and you're NOT!!". (Yeah, we think it was Ares, because Hera just isn't as stupid.)
Also, I have a second generation friend, who's the son of Jason Grace and Piper McLean and the same age as me. His name is Taylor Grace. And yeah, I know, I know his dad is THE Jason Grace and his mom is THE Piper McLean. They're great family friends, and Taylor also has the same family problems, though not as bad since his grandparents don't have a rivalry going on like mine do.
Now, I'm really going to get into the story. That was just a little bit about me. My story has only just begun.
