"There's something off about her. Maybe she's a monster. She definitely gives me the heebie jeebies," Thalia ranted to Annabeth. They were walking to Percy's apartment to hang out after their first day at Goode. Thalia was more than a little upset that Rebekah had beat her, but she was telling the truth about Rebekah giving her weird/creepy vibes.

"Are you sure this isn't just because she got you out?" asked a smirking Annabeth. It was no secret that Thalia didn't like to lose(who does?), and it was worse than usual this time because Thalia's loss was her own fault. She had let herself be distracted, and that could cost her or someone else their life in battle.

"I'm pissed because I lost. I'm suspicious because I'm right," Thalia stated with her hands on her hips. "I have had enough experience to know to trust my instincts. If they say she is a monster, I am going to at least be on my guard." As she was speaking, she subconsciously fiddled with her bracelet.

"Ok. I'll tell the other to be on their guard," Annabeth agreed, "but don't act on your suspicions. For all we know, she's just a creepy mortal. Innocent until proven guilty."

"Fine," Thalia replied. She begrudged waiting, but she understood her friend's logic. "Is this it?" she asked Annabeth who had stopped in front of a tall apartment building. Annabeth nodded and the pair strode inside the building.

"Yeah?" a voice asked from the intercom. Annabeth had inpatiently pressed the button three times before she received an answer.

"Hey! It's us," Annabeth responded while rolling her grey eyes at the small white box.

"Oh, come on up," Percy said. Nico and Will could be heard in the background yelling about how unhealthy McDonald's was. In fact, this argument was still taking place when Annabeth and Thalia walked in the door a couple minutes later.

"No it's not, Will," came Nico's quiet, but strong voice.

"It is!" his boyfriend shouted in response. There was was a stark contrast between the couple's voices. While Nico's voice was quiet and rich, Will's voice was bright and loud. This made arguments between the two sound quite odd, especially when the subject was as ridiculous as the current subject.

"Do you really need to have this argument every day, you two?" Thalia asked the couple. They both gave her a look that very plainly said "of course" and proceeded to sit down next to each other on the couch.

"So . . . You guys never did tell me why you are going to Goode," said Percy. He flopped down on the couch and Annabeth and Thalia soon followed suit. Annabeth joined Percy on the couch while Thalia claimed a comfy chair.

"Our parents were making us go to school, and everyone figured Goode would be the most convenient option," Annabeth explained. She and Percy were now cuddling on the couch.

"Ohhhh," was Percy's only response to this explanation. He was glad that his friends had come to Goode. It would be nice to have people around who understood what it was like to be a halfblood, and they could help him if there were any monster attacks.

"Your friends seemed nice," Will commented. He was met with nods from all of his companions bar Thalia. Said hunter gave a disgruntled "Humph," in response.

"You didn't like them?" Percy asked his cousin. He wasn't hurt, but he was curious as to why his mortal friends had received this response from Thalia. He couldn't expect all of his friends to get along, but it would be preferable.

"They were all right," Thalia corrected. "I just didn't like Rebekah. Something about her rubbed me the wrong way."

"What do you think is wrong with her?" asked Will. His eyebrows were furrowed in concern. Thalia was a powerful demigod, not to mention an experienced hunter. If she thought something was up with Rebekah, they should be careful.

"Don't pay any attention to what she says, Will," Nico said as he playfully slapped his boyfriend's shoulder.

"Annabeth agrees with me," Thalia argued in order to legitimize her opinion.

"I said we should be careful," Annabeth amended. After Thalia's statement heads with questioning looks had turned to Annabeth. They all seemed to be accusing Annabeth of encouraging Thalia's hunter induced paranoia. Everyone agreed to this resolution and the conversation quickly shifted to lighter topics.

----—-------——————---------------

Over the course of the next couple days, Percy's mortal and demigod friends, including Rebekah, got to know each other. There was still the occasional feeling of compassion for the title of knowing Percy the best and the occasional argument between the different parties, but for the most part, everything was well. In fact that Friday, they had all decided to go out and get pizza. They all walked to the pizzeria together and had fun laughing and joking along the way.

"What table do you guys want?" Will asked turning to the rest of the group.

"We usually sit over there," Tucker replied pointing to a large table in the back. After pulling up/stealing a few chairs everyone was happily settled at the seat of their choosing. The conversation soon broke into very scattered and loud topics as is expected of a group of teenagers at a restaurant. Max offered to go order, and everyone pitched in some cash and told him what they wanted. They were all happily eating when a buzzing noise filled the air. This buzzing turned out to be Rebekah's phone, and everyone quieted down so that she could hear the person on the other end.

"Hello?" Rebekah asked as she picked up the phone. Her face soon darkened with annoyance. "What do you want!?" she demanded. "I have no idea . . . No really. Ask Elijah because I don't know what the hell Kol did with it. Don't try to threaten me, I'm not the one who took it, Kol did, so punish him!" Rebekah's eye narrowed as she debated with the person on the other side, but there was an obvious note of fear in her voice. "Well, I don't want to talk to you, so I'm going to go. Don't bother calling if you need anything." After she said this, Rebekah slammed the call end icon on her screen and put her phone away.

"Who was that?" Annabeth asked. Everyone was confused by what they had just heard, but Annabeth was the only one who was brave enough to ask.

"That was my dearest brother," Rebekah said. The sarcasm in her statement was impossible to miss. Chloe nodded knowingly at this. Rebekah had told her enough about the Mikaelson family for her to know why a phone call was not a pleasant event.

"Do you not get along with your family?" Percy asked. He was confused as to why Rebekah would've had a conversation like that with her brother of all people.

"Let's just say it's complicated," Rebekah answered cryptically.

Sorry I didn't update yesterday; I had a lot of work to do. I am so thankful that all of you are reading and I will try to keep updating weekly. BTW Klaus was talking about the dagger that Kol stole.
