Soooo basically Percabeth and Leo and Nico went with Thalia to track some empousai since it was the hunters' week off (i'm making this up i just need an excuse for the hunters to not be there without killing them off)(oh and the empousai are actually Strigoi but you would've figured that out soon enough) and they run into Rose doing a training exercise with Janine outside of the wards. It's been one month since the Strigoi in Spokane and Rose is finally beginning to come to terms with the events. Lissa, Eddie, Christian, and her mother are helping a lot, as well as Dimitri (BECAUSE WE NEED THE RUSSIAN GOD) but Dimitri is still avoiding a relationship with Rose and it's hurting them both. Tasha will show up at some point and be a little b*tch, Adrian will be nice (and I'm ignoring the romantic tension between him and rose for the sake of the plot so deal with it) and very supportive, Lissa will be an upstanding best friend and NOT a little b*tch. To sum up, I don't actually have a plot line for this because I really just wanted to see these two fandoms come together (and see Percy get his butt whupped by someone other than Annabeth). This takes place after Frostbite and nothing that happens after Frostbite has happened. That might change if I decide to make it happen. This takes place after Heroes of Olympus but before Trials of Apollo but Leo survived and never died. Calypso doesn't exist in this story (sorry caleo fans :() because I want Leo to be a huge flirt and it just makes more sense if he doesn't have a girlfriend. I will be using both the movie and the book as reference points, like some of the comments that Rose and Dimitri and Lissa make to one another. If it's already happened just pretend it makes sense, again, I just want the characters from both fandoms to react to each other.Thanks with love from AnaeEverything to its rightful owner.

"Ciento de miles de años de evolución le otorgaron al hombre la capacidad de mirar al cielo y, con curiosidad, preguntarse que había ahí. El miedo los cegó durante siglos y no fue hasta que los pioneros de la astronomía imaginaron un "Mas allá" cósmico que el hombre emprendió sus primeros pasos en un intento de comprender el universo que lo rodeaba, pero el cosmos es masivo e inacabable hasta donde se conoce y las fugaces mentes humanas, que van y vienen, no llegan a comprender la inmensidad que los rodea cuando esta se escapa de su capacidad para explicarse a sí mismos el todo con formulas y palabras. La historia del hombre, apenas un parpadeo en el calendario cósmico, no ha descubierto siquiera un cuarto de las virtudes del universo y aunque lo hicieran, los ojos de los humanos continuarían empeñándose con lagrimas cada vez que miran al cielo, asombrados por una inmensidad que les recuerda su propia insignificancia"Esas son las palabras que llegan a Steve cuando, pasados quince meses desde que se marcho, mira al cielo nocturno con su telescopio. Detrás de él Cruinne parece ladrar con melancolía y él solo busca ansioso señales de un objeto volador no identificado que guste irrumpir en su propiedad. Donde Steve es un artista y Bucky definitivamente no se llama a Bucky en este universo. Es más, su nombre no ha logrado ser traducido al lenguaje humano, pero las silabas que componen su nombre definitivamente suenan como "Bucky" y Steve lo llamara así.

Sin saber que a veces un instante, una sola mirada, es suficiente para entrelazar los destinos de dos almas para siempre. Se puede correr, pero nunca huir del destino. Pero... ¿Podría el destino equivocarse acerca de la persona con la cual se debería compartir el resto de nuestras vidas? Si el dolor que causa el amor, y el aferrarse desesperadamente a esa persona, es peor al que se sufre cuando se esta lejos; ¿no seria mejor vivir el resto de nuestras vidas solos, pero sabiendo que la persona amada se encuentra bien? Lee Annie nunca había creído en el amor, el fallido matrimonio de sus padres y una mala experiencia en la universidad, le habían servido para darse cuenta que el amor no duraba para siempre. Y que el hasta que la muerte los separe, había dejado de ser valido. Cuando el amor se acababa, simplemente había que dejarlo ir, solía decir. No era de extrañar entonces, que a sus 22 años nunca se hubiera enamorado de verdad, ni mucho menos hubiera tenido una relación seria que pasara de simples citas. Kim Hyun Joong había sacrificado la mayor parte de su vida para cumplir sus sueños. Inmerso en un mundo donde nada era real, él únicamente recordaba a una mujer que había sido autentica para él. Y había pasado tanto tiempo de ello, desde que era un simple traine, que había perdido la esperanzas de volver a verla alguna vez. Perdido en el mundo del espectáculo y teniendo citas esporádicas, con artistas que pocas veces eran más que envases vacíos, él estaba a punto de perder la fé en las personas.En medio de este mundo y contra todo pronostico, el destino esta a punto de poner a prueba la fortaleza y duración que tiene el Te amare por siempre...

This isn't a werewolfXvampire book, it is not a romance set in medieval times where they ride dragons... those styles are all fine and dandy but this is completely different. imagine you are sitting at home one day when you see on the news that there has been terrorist attacks in the city...you nod sadly, because you are used to it, you lived through 9/11, you lived through the London bombings, the Tunisia beach attack, a British solider beheaded on the city streets. Terrorism is something you are all too familiar with, but then imagine Riley's surprise when from the rubble rose hideous demon-like beasts that stand on there back legs as they rip people apart, then the TV station cuts out, and never goes live again, the electricity lasts all but minutes, people begin to loot and raid stores, and then soon enough each others homes. The mayor and his family become the closest thing to a government, since there is no media anymore to connect the people to there democratic leader... so they are left with... whatever this is, without protection, with little food, and with abuse. this is Dystopian. be warned there are themes of violent rape, murder, attempted suicide, mental illness and the characters in this book are very malnourished and underweight, if you are triggered by any of these things, or are too young to deal with them, then please do not read, i wouldn't have liked to read about this sort of stuff as kid, though this is probably more tame than the everyday news, lets be real. Riley wasn't made for this new world, not many were only those selfish and cruel and evil enough to use and abuse others to improve their own quality of life, in this new world Riley doesn't just have to protect herself from the beasts, but from most every other person out there, even her own father.
Marie is a girl who doesn't give a shit about anything. She's just not an emotional or dramatics person. Unless the emotions are: anger, sadness or, adrenaline. She always felt... Numb. That's the best way to explain it. Her heartbeat was normal, her brain was zoned out of reality most the time. But when she did something dangerous or risky it would give her an insane adrenaline rush. And she loved it. Her heart would beat loudly In her chest like it was going to burst, her mind would zap back into reality and suddenly her mind was racing with so many thoughts. She would suddenly feel... Alive. And one day she meets Min Yoongi, who goes by his street name Suga. Suga is a bad boy in a gang called Bangtan Boys aka BTS. Marie starts hanging out with Suga and his gang because of the illegal things they do. It makes her get that feeling of being alive. It gives her an adrenaline rush 10X better than the usual stuff she does to feel alive. But how far will she go to feel... The rush? To not feel numb. To just feel... Alive.
