Hello!! This is, in fact, my first story. I'm not sure if it's good or not, so the few that may read this, please do share how you feel about it! :D

I probably have a million of the details wrong to match with the books and all, but I'm basing this story off of the movie. Yes, the books were better, but I immediantly fell in love with the characters from the movie too, and I felt that I could work with them a lot more.

So anyway, thanks for taking the time to read :D

~Chapter One~

Janelle

My father was crazy for sending me here. I looked up at the rock entrance (Μισό αίμα στρατόπεδων--Camp Half-Blood--was engraved within the stone,) and walked onto the site.

"Percy is the one you want to get the closest too. Give him your trust. Then we'll squash him like a bug," My fathers voice rung out in my head. I couldn't tell if he was really speaking to me, or if I was just remembering this quote.

I walked on into the woods, looking for some sign of civilization, and came across no living creature for about three minutes. Then something rustled in the bushes to my right. I braced myself; one hand inside my jackets' pocket, reaching for my golden dagger.

Instead of danger, a satyr emerged, backing up clumsily; stumbling over branches. I let down my guard a little as the satyr finally turned, and spotted me. He jumped, startled, and stared skeptically at me. "Who are you?" His voice was deep, and it fit his appearance perfectly. Despite the gawky display before, he looked completely at ease. He was completely naked (not that it mattered,) and his dark skin seemed to glisten with sweat as if he had been running from someone or something.

"Janelle. Janelle Liberato," I said. I had actually rehearsed the moment I would have to say this millions of times before; to myself. Janelle Liberato wasn't really my name. Well, Janelle was my real name. But Liberato wasn't.

"Janelle huh? Well, I'm Grover. Grover Underwood." He took a step towards me and held out his hand.

I shook it, without dropping eye contact. It seemed vital to me to make sure I was completely safe here for the moment. What if they knew I was coming? What if this friendliness was just a sham?

"So Janelle, did you just get here?" Grover motioned to the single suede backpack on my back.

"Uhh yeah. Yes. My mom dropped me off just a few minutes ago. " I nodded while I said it. The lie tasted metallic on my tongue.

"Awesome." He grinned; his white teeth contrasting vividly. He glanced around, and when he accepted that it was only me and him he said, "I could show you around if you want."

I contemplated it, debating how this could effect things. Of course, it wouldn't be a big decision. I would have to make more important ones later in the mission, but I couldn't help but think that one wrong move, and I would fail at everything. I faked a smile, "That would be great actually."

"Great! Just follow me," He said and began his weird lope down the dirt pathway.

I did as he said, following a few feet behind him. He glanced back every now and then, making sure I was still there, and didn't say anything until we came upon an opening. There, the dirt pathway branched off into three different directions. One led down a hill and looked like it was heading toward a crystal clear lake. Another spiraled--for no apparent reason-- towards some small buildings; each one completely different from the others. The path right in front of us, stopped a few feet away, giving way to an enormous field that looked about two football fields long. The terrain sloped here and there, making it even more complicated to do what was needed there; training. Kids and teens alike were jumping and prancing around with swords. Behind them, the view was breathtaking. The mountains in the distance rose up in different shades of blues and grays, and off to the side the sun gave off hues of pinks and oranges, beaming like a spotlight.

Grover stopped at the mouth of the opening, "This, is where you'll be training," He said gazing around googly eyed as if he were seeing it for the first time.

I had to admit, it was rather impressive. The sight of the bright meadow-like clearing, full of people training had my heart beating a little faster, but in a good way. "Wow," I managed to say.

Grover sighed dreamily, "I know right?"

I turned to look at him, and couldn't help but smile genuinely at the pensive expression on his face.

"Grover!" A guy with dark auburn hair and dark blue eyes, that I swore would be extremely easy to lose yourself in, ran up to us. He slowed once he was closer and came to the realization that I was standing there too.

I watched as he shot a glance at Grover and then back at me. "Hey," he said carefully, as if he was surprised to see me standing there with him.

"Hi."

He looked back at Grover, waiting for an introduction of some sort, and when he gave none, he flashed his eyes back to mine. "Uh. Since Grover here is kind of out of it, I guess I'll just introduce myself," He grinned, making way to perfect whiter-than-ivory teeth. "I'm Percy Jackson."

Shit, I thought as I felt myself fall into the dark recognition that I was going to ruin this kids life. I had no doubt I would fail. I was the daughter of Hades for gods sake.
