Quest
Annabeth's POV
One beautiful day in December, my friends and I had a snowball fight that turned into a quest. Weird, huh? Well, it all pretty much started like this:
My school does winter break for a month, and so does Percy's, so we were at camp before most people. There were only a few people here, including the 7, Nico, Clarisse, and about 15 other people. Percy and I were taking a walk around the camp because we had free time. Because of the camp's magic, it was 72 degrees fahrenheit, even though outside it was snowing hard.
"You know, it wouldn't be that bad to have one snow day." Percy said, interrupting my train of thoughts.
"You wanna go ask Chiron if he can let the snow in?" I asked. Percy's face lit up when I said that.
"Yes! Please, can we?" He asked, putting on his puppy face. He knew I couldn't resist his puppy face.
"Okay, okay," I said. "Let's go.
When we reached there, Chiron seemed uneasy about it but agreed. A few minutes later, it was snowing outside. I got on a pair of blue earmuffs, white scarf, purple coat, my gray sweatpants, and white fluffy boots. Percy was wearing a dark blue coat, scarf, hat, snow pants, and boots. When we left Percy's cabin, I felt a snowball hit the back of my head. I turned around to find Leo with a challenging look on his face. "Bring it on, Brainiac."
"Oh it is so on!" I yelled. I grabbed a couple of snowballs and hurled them towards him but right when they were in front of him they melted to water. "What! That is so not fair!" I yelled, sounding like a little kid. But before I could give him a piece of my mind, I remembered Percy was supposed to-
My thoughts were interrupted by a snowball that hit me in the chest. I fell back, and anger boiled inside me. I got up to see Percy with a water barrier, Jason throwing snowballs around with wind and dodging them by flying, Piper charmspeaking the snowballs to stay away from her, Hazel using crystals as shields, Leo melting them, and Frank flying around as different birds. I got even more angry. I'd never admit it out loud, but I always feel jealous when I'm the only one without a power. I can give you snow powers, a voice said.
Everyone froze. Like literally froze. They were covered in frost.
"Who's there?" I yelled. "What are you and what did you do to my friends?!"
A girl my age with silky, long black hair, and pale skin appeared.
"I am Crystal Winter, daughter of Khione, granddaughter of Boreas. My mother could use your help. She has a quest for you, if you choose to accept it. Your reward will be powers over snow. She needs you to retrieve her diamond necklace. The necklace is her symbol of power. It has been stolen by goblins, and they are headed to Florida. If it is taken there it will melt and if it melts, all snow is gone forever. You may choose one person to come with you, for I am also coming along. Only I can hold the necklace, for if anyone else did, they would probably freeze to death. Also, can you bring the Leo kid along? He's hot."
"CRYSTAL! YOU MAY NOT FALL FOR THE FIRE BOY! FOCUS ON THE MISSION!" A voice yelled out of nowhere.
"But mom-"
"NO BUTS! NOW CONTINUE BEFORE THEY MELT. I HAVE LIMITED POWER!"
"Okay mom," she muttered, obviously annoyed. "Now where was I?"
"Um, something about-"
"Oh yes," she interrupted. "You have until sundown today to choose. If you do choose to accept the quest, ask Jason or Piper or Leo where my mother is. They know."
"Okay-"
"Oh and just saying, you should really let your hair down. It'd be really pretty like that. Anyways, bye!" She said, perkily, then rolled her eyes, and repeated it but more in a normal voice. Then, she disappeared in a poof of snow, leaving me to be hit by a million snowballs.
