Hey guys! Okay, so this is my new story. AU. Ships include: PERCABETH, Jasper and others... Have fun reading, hopefully you like it. The good part will maybe be in the next chapter or so. Please last through this first one, hope fully this introduction will be short.

A soft knock was heard from the other side of the little princess's bedroom door. The wooden door creaked open and from behind appeared the face of a lovely young woman. Her features kind and cheerful, soft, curly, brown hair tumbled down her shoulders and on top of her head was a delicate golden crown. As you can tell, she was the queen of this kingdom. Her name was Athena.

The queen crept closer to the grand bed on the opposite side of the room as she watched the sheets on the bed shift. A little girl emerged from the silver sheets yawning and stretching. Her hair was curly like her mother's, but were the color of gold. Her features were also that of her mother's, and when she opened her eyes, they were large, gray, and full of wonder and curiosity.

Athena smiled as she came to sit at the edge of the little princess's bed. The little princess yawned and greeted her mother. "Good morning, mom!" She smiled.

Athena laughed lightly and hugged her daughter. "C'mon, let's go and get some breakfast, Annabeth." Annabeth nodded and jumped off the bed, anxious to get the day started. And also because she was really hungry.

Her day passed by normally as it would. She was still 6 years-old, but she was adventurous, curious and was very smart. She spent the day with her mother and her father, Frederick Chase, the king. They would walk around the gardens, have lunch by a few wells, and Annabeth would sometimes adventure on her own, exploring around the gardens, picking flowers, and planting a couple of seeds with the help of the castle gardeners.

At the end of the day, Annabeth would get tucked into bed by her mother and father. Athena would tell her stories about famous greek ledgends and tales of heroes.

This particular night, Athena was going to tell her daughter about the story of Heracles. Annabeth snorted. "Heracles? You mean the most show-off of all the heroes? Mommy, tell me a different story! Something new, please.

Athena thought for a while. "But you've heard all of the Greek ledgends and fairy tales I can tell you." Athena decided. Annabeth frowned. "But I want new story." She whined, pouting at her parents making them both laugh

"Tell you what," Her father, Fredrick, said. " Try to go without a story for one night, and you get a special chocolate/strawberry cake tomorrow for breakfast." He smiled smugly, knowing his daughter could never refuse the offer.

It was seriously tempting for Annabeth. I mean, strawberry and chocolate all in one cake? She knew how much work it would take, especially to get strawberries in this season. But she also wasn't used to not getting story-told to sleep... how else could she fall asleep at night?

Annabeth studied her mother's face. For the entire day, she noticed that her mother was unusually wary and tired easily. She looked like she hadn't slept in days. A few times, she caught her father giving her mother worried glances. At first she shrugged them off, but now it was starting to bother her. Maybe her mom was really tired about all the royal buisiness she had to do...? Whatever thecase, she knew something was wrong with her mother. But she didn't dare ask.

Annabeth nodded. " Okay," She said. Her father smiled at her gratefully, for a reason she didn't know. And after a few hugs and kisses, the king and queen left...

The very next day, Annabeth woke up from her sleep to find the curtains still closed and no one around her. Did her mom forgrt to visit this morning? But, that can't be. She never forgets.

Maybe she's making her a special breakfast...?Annabeth felt excited at the thought. She jumped out of bed and shinnied out of her sleeping dress. She pulled on a pair of light brown pants and a white top with an orange vest. She put on her shoes quickly and headed for the door, a smile on her face.

She pushed open the heavy oak door and instantly knew something was wrong. Well, for starters, she didn't smell any food being cookeed from down stairs. That was very unusual.

But she did smell something. It was a bitter and noxious scent she remembered all too well. It was the winter last year when she got a fever from accidentaly rolling into a partly-frozen puddle. She got colds and the doctors gave her some sort of medicine wich tasted horrible. It was bitter, warm and basically just plain gross. The scent blocked up her nostrills for a week.

Nevertheless, she walked into the hallway and made her way to the grand oak doors of her parents' bedroom.

When she finally came to the doors, Annabeth heard hushed voices coming from inside the room. The left door was open just a crack, so Annabeth could still see a bit inside. She looked into the tiny opening she had and listened to the voice of her father

"-is her condition?" Her father said, a worried tone in his voice.

"Well, Lord Frederick," Started nervously who Annabeth guessed was one of the doctors. " The Queen is in a stable condition for now. B-but her condition is still critical if she would not get better in a few weeks."

"And why is that?" The king muttered through gritted teeth. For a moment, no one spoke. The king could get easily angered, especially if it comes to matters of his family. Finally, one doctor spoke up.

"We're afraid her highness has caught one of the newest and rarest unknown conditions. It is either she gets better in a few weeks, or .." The doctor paused, his voice nervous. "She-she passes away..."

The king had a disapointed and at the same time angry look on his face. He stared at his wife, who layed on the grand bed .

Athena smiled. "Frederick..." The queen croaked, her voice was worn out and tired.

" No." The king stated firmly. "You will pass through this. This is simply a trial. Athena... you will live."

He studied her face. She was already pale and sickly. She was sarting to grow thin already.

Annabeth knew what was going to happen. Her mother was going to die. Annabeth couldn't hold back the tears. She pushed open the door and ran inside, startling everyone in the room. She want to her mother's side and hugged her, crying. Her mother hugged her back tightly.

"Annabeth," Her mother whispered in a repremanding tone. But she had a smile on her face. "It's not nice to listen to adults' comversations."

"I love you, mommy. I don't want you to leave." Annabeth cried. Athena simply smiled. She was going to miss her family dearly.

So this is the basic intro I guess. The main plot would start in the next chapter or so. So I hope you liked this, please leave a review on your thoughts and suggestions. Thankyou!
