Chapter 1

Hey guys! I really actually have some great ideas for this story and I hope you all enjoy it. I'm also working on a story called "Everyone needs a Little Help", and a book called Percy Jackson and the Fountain of Youth. Be sure to read both! After TLO they're all about 17.

It was hot and humid out today and even though Annabeth, Grover, and I were under the shade of the dinning pavilion we were all miserably uncomfortable. Camp had been dreadfully boring this summer with the lack of quest that had been going on. The campers had to find new things to do besides chariot races because of the Stoll brother's incident; Connor thought it was hilarious to slip the other team's water tanks with sleeping pills so the Hermes cabin would win. The rest of us fell asleep alright, crashing into each other and wrecking the track. Ever senses then we've had nothing to do all summer long.

I looked at Annabeth who had her head resting upon her hand. "Do you think we'll have a game of capture the flag any time soon?" I whined.

"No Percy, for the last time Chiron says that it's too hot and someone could get heat stroke." She sighed. "I wish we could though."

I huffed out a puff of air in agreement and turned to Grover. "How is Juniper doing g-man?" I asked trying to cure the boredom.

"Well." He replied. "She's good, she's been helping out a lot of the junior satyrs get they're horns." He said with a little bit of pride.

SMACK! I turned around startled. The only thing I saw was Annabeth's head face down on the wooden table. "Are you ok?" I asked a little concerned; I hope she wasn't getting heat stroke. No answer. Or so I thought when I heard a mumble from underneath her fluff of curly blonde hair unfortunately I couldn't make out what she had said. "Can you say that again? I didn't catch that."

She groaned, apparently in frustration. "I'm so bored isn't there anything we can do?"

"well, I actually need some help getting some of the old stuff from the attic out in the big house if you guys don't mind?" a voice sounded from behind us. We all turned around to see Rachel standing behind us. She was wearing a pair of denim Capri's and a white tank top covered in different colors of paint.

We were all extremely happy to agree with her, mostly because the big house was air conditioned. Once we all arrived we saw Mr. D and Chiron playing pinochle at the card table. When Rachel opened the door we felt a rush of cool air hit us. "Straight up here." Rachel led us up the stairs. "I've been looking for kids to help me all day and they all just keep avoiding me. I think they're afraid that I'll start spitting out prophecies, and I'm sure none of them want to do anything after the war with Kronos." She explained.32 (sorry I sneezed and hit the keyboard lol)

I had understood exactly what she was saying, even though we had nothing left to do around camp we didn't want to do any more fighting than was absolutely necessary. We had already lost enough people last summer. I wasn't surprised that people shied away from her.

'So is there anything in the attic you want to keep Rachel?" Annabeth asked with a furrowed brow. "I mean there's a lot of interesting items up in that attic."

Rachel turned around when we half way through the fourth story stairs. I hadn't noticed how high up the attic actually was. It'd been a really long time sense I had been up here to get a prophecy. "I don't really need, let alone want anything up here so if you find anything you like you're free to have It." she smiled.

Once we made it past all the dust up there we had brought a couple of boxes down. We hadn't found anything to dazzling up there yet; except for maybe some swords and shields, along with some pieces of arm, and a trinket or two. There were a small group of things left in the back corner of the room and we had Rachel run down stairs to get Grover, Annabeth, and I something to drink.

We walked up the spiral steps to the attic and pushed open the creaking wooden door. Grover clopped against the old boards on the floor making his way to the boxes while Annabeth and I walked over to them hand in hand. "Hey guys!" Grover called back to us looking over his shoulder. "Come over here and look at this box of stuff. This has gotta be the best find all day!"

Annabeth and I ran over to him somewhat excited to see what he had discovered. "What is it G-man?" I asked.

He then put his hands in the box and pulled out a bunch of clothes and some jewelry. He handed a pair of slacks and an old button up shirt to me, A dress was pulled out of the box and given to Annabeth, Grover took out a pair of old looking clothes somewhat identical to mine.

Annabeth laughed. "You're serious Grover?"

He grinned back at her. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because…this dress is old. And who knows if it'll even fit me?" she explained with a funny look on her face.

"Well, you won't figure it out if you don't go try it on will you?" I pointed to a draped curtain hanging from the ceiling.

I had figured she wasn't going to do a single thing if Grover and I were still there so we walked out of the room closing the door behind us. I was excited to see what the dress was going to look like on her. This was probably one of the best things I had done all year besides hanging out with my mom and Paul for my seventeenth birthday.

"Hey, Percy." I heard Grover say from behind me. "Let's put ours on." He handed me the pair of clothes I had set down next to the box he had pulled them out of.

I stared at him for a second and then when I figured out that he wasn't going to let it go took off my pants and slid on the old slacks and then put on the button up shirt on over my orange camp T. To my own surprise Grover did the same' slipping the slacks on over his hooves. The way the slacks fit around his legs made it look like he had normal legs again. The clothes looked and fit good on both of us.

"You can come in now guys!" we heard Annabeth yell from behind the door.

I was nervous to see how the dress had fit on her but yet again I was surprised to see another article of clothing that had fit someone so perfectly. It was like these clothes were made for us.

"You look amazing!" Grover and I said in unison. I already knew I was blushing and so was Annabeth.

"Lets see what else there is!" she insisted. Annabeth made her way to the box and knelt down pulling a petite silver locket out of a tiny case. "Percy. Can you come over here and put this on me?" she asked.

I happily agreed and walked over to her taking the ends of the necklace in hand and putting them around her neck. CLICK! The sound came from the necklace as it closed around her neck. All of a sudden the floor boards started to shake and rattle. Then things got a little more intense there was a loud buzzing sound and I had to cover my ears. Annabeth grabbed around my waist and Grover ran a little closer to us. They both tried saying something to me but I could hear anything, the sound was just too much. Then…black, I couldn't see a single thing that was happening.

Well I hope you all enjoyed this first chapter and ill be posting sometime soon :D

Be sure to R&R!
