Chapter 1-
(Percy POV)
The war had started 16 years ago and it was showing no sign of stopping. It all started because the Hapsburg family of Austria thought that the northern Germans and Swedes couldn't worship the Olympians. I myself am one of those Swedes that worship the gods. My name is Perseus Jackson by the way but my friends call me Percy. Anyway the war started about two or three years after I was born, my mother, her name's Sally by the way, told me that we lost my father in the early weeks of the war. She warned me to keep a low profile whenever I walked by the recruiters table at the boarding school she sent me. But on a happy note I woke up today feeling extremely excited, it took me a few moments to remember why. Today was my graduation and my friends and I were going to head out to Stockholm(capital of Sweden if you didn't know) and celebrate at one of the many pubs there. I had to be at the school's auditorium by noon so I had a few hours to myself before the ceremony. I walked into the kitchen and saw my mother and step-father Paul had already started eating. My mother greeted me, "Good morning
sovhytt. "(sleeper in Swedish) "Good morning mom, good morning Paul." Paul was busy eating so he nodded his head at me. "What are you plans for before the ceremony?" My mother asked, "I was actually thinking about going to Rachel." I replied, Paul grimaced and said, "Percy, your mother and I have thought about your relationship with that girl. We don't trust her." I was appalled, Rachel and I had been the best of friends since we were kids, "Why the hell don't you trust Rachel!?" I was pissed if you couldn't tell. "Percy watch your language!" My mother snapped at me and continued, "And we think she's just using you to get back Luke." I shook my head and stormed out of the house muttering under my breath. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going, when I bumped into Rachel which immediately improved my mood until I saw who she was with. "Rachel, I uh. I thought we were together?" She smirked at me and said, "Oh Percy I told you I loved Luke still, I'm not sure why you're so upset?" I growled under my breath and started running, tears were threatening to fall. I wasn't really aware of where I was heading, I just let my feet carry me. They carried me smack into someone, "Why the hell were you running with your head down!?" A voice from in front of me. I look up and my heart caught in my throat, sitting in front of me was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She had blonde princess like curls, her looked extremely athletic, and her eyes were a startling grey I felt like her eyes were calculating best how to take down in a fight. "Hey jävel, you gonna stop staring at me and explain why you were running?" It took me a second to get back to my senses, I shook my head and replied, "Sorry about that, the girl I've been courting left me for her ex. I usually swim when I'm troubled like that but I wasn't near any water so I ran." Her expression softened and she said, "If it's any condolence my fiancé left me for some redheaded girl today." I was shocked, why would anyone in their right mind leave a girl like this? Wait where did that come from, I just met this girl. "Oh I'm sorry, for running into you and for your fiancé for being a total ass." She smiled at that and said, "It's alright, I'm Annabeth by the way, Annabeth Chase I came to Sweden for school but I move back to northern Germany after my graduation." "I'm Percy Jackson, I've lived in Sweden all my life. How do you like Sweden?" "It's far too cold for my taste." I smiled at that. "What!?" She said accusingly. "That's only because you haven't been here long enough to get used to it." I said with a smile. She rolled her eyes at my comment, "Well it was a pleasure meeting you Percy, I hope we see each other again." "Adjö(goodbye) Annabeth, may the gods watch over your travels."
