The New Beginning (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Vanessa III

Hello! My name is Vanessa Maris Labelle, and I'm a demi-god. I guess you could say life was-is...different for me.

But, I'm getting ahead of myself, I was in the middle of describing myself. Now, a normal demi-god is a child of both a god and a mortal, though in my case, my parents are a god and a demi-god.

Meaning not only do I have a name with a lot of history/meaning, but I have more power that is passed down to me from my mother.

My mother is a Daughter of Aphrodite and her name is Mara Odele Labelle. Mara meaning eternally beautiful (Greek), Odele means song (Greek), and Labelle meaning fair/good looking (French). Apparently, my grandfather met Aphrodite in France during one of her many trips to Paris. Why she was in Paris? I'm not sure.

Anyway, my name means butterfly of the sea (Greek). Plus, Labelle would be; Butterfly of the sea fair/good looking. Well, doesn't that seem great, note sarcasm.

Why I told you that? Because, I have to start at the beginning to get to where I am now. And right now, I was traveling alone, due to what happened nine years ago...

It was a pretty normal day, I had been studying Ancient Greece, had Greek and Latin lessons (Latin for the fun of it. Well, that and I know about the Roman Camp...), trained in...quite a few different weapons, while also balancing regular school (Mom homeschooled me).

My life was mostly training (weapons and powers), education (mortal and Greek...plus Latin...), and spending quality time with my mother.

That day, we had been watching a movie, I was half asleep when it happened. I was only six, when the monsters came. I don't remember much of what happened, just that there were monsters, our house burned down, and lost everything including my mother.

But, that was nine years ago, now I'm a powerful fifteen year old...and I was making my way to New York...again. For the past nine years I have traveled around, never staying in one place for too long. I learned from that day to never let my guard down.

As I adventured off towards New York, I realized I almost adventured off into the wrong way....again. Why does New York hate me so much? Ugh, I continued on my journey. I sighed, to New York I go.

~~~

So, somehow I headed up in New York with no shoes. Good, I hate shoes. As I came across a alleyway, I noticed something-or someone that I had seen before. But, where?

As I froze, it came rushing back to me. I stumbled back, trying to get away from the images of Thanatos. Wait, he was the Son of Death, meaning...

'And, to Camp Half-Blood I go...' Was my last thought as I collapsed onto the ground, falling into oblivion.
