I stared down the street. I pulled my over coat closer to myself.

It was cold. My breath was showing in the cold morning air.

I walked down the street and into a cafe.

As I was just closing the door suddenly I bumped into a person that was at least half a head smaller than me.

Well most people were. I was kinda tall.

"Uh...oh sorry." I looked down.

"Doesn't matter." It was for some reason a very familiar sort of voice. I picked up whatever that the woman had dropped and gave it back to her. She looked slightly up.

"Thanks."

"No prob."

"Wait, do I know you?"

"Well, I was asking the same question."

"Wait aren't you that, that kid that saved this whole big thing?" Well if that's the way the mortals see it...

"Well, I guess you could say that."

"Percy?"

"How do you know my name?" I snapped.

"Percy! It's me! Annabeth!"

"Annabeth! Oh sorry I didn't know it was you!"

"Oh, Percy, here my number, call me later. I need to run." She gave me a card. I took it and she ran away.

"Bye." I said sadly as she ran away. I walked to the counter and asked for a coffee.

I walked down the darkening street. Me and Annabeth had just been to the cinema, I had already taken her home. Throughout the movie we talked. Barely watched the movie itself.

We just caught up on our lives.

I was smiling as I walked across the car park. This was the only place really in New York you got forests. Well it was really on the outside of the city. I opened the car from a distance.

A bright red Ferrari. Nice and sleek shape.

I kicked a can.

"Hey don't do that, after this meeting, I'm sure you will think differently, so come on why not start now. Pick that can up and throw it in the bin." I spun round riptide in my hands in a millisecond.

And I stared. There was a man turning into a huge white arctic wolf. He kind of blended in with the background-the snow.

Once he was complete he stared at me. Those amber eyes boring into mine. He was pretty much at eye level with me. Which meant he was simply a huge creature. Bigger than a regular wolf.

"What the-" I didn't have time to complete my sentence because he lunged at me. I felt pain surge up my shoulder. I screamed. The sharp teeth sinking into my flesh.

Ripping it in places.

I screamed and screamed.

Then I felt an even stronger pain. I supposed afterwards that that was when the beast took out it's horrible fangs out of my flesh. Suddenly I felt completely numb.

Black dots appeared in my vision and my eves closed.

I woke up to the sound of beeping. I fluttered my eyes open and I found myself in a medical bed probably in a hospital. I noticed that my vision was really sharp.

My eyes moved to the thing the beeping was coming from and I realized it was a heart thumping thing. The thing was going at a normal speed. That meant my heart rate was ok.

I sat up in the bed. Suddenly the door burst open and in came mom.

She ran to me and kissed me.

"Percy! You're alive! You wont believe how worried I was."

"Ouch!" I yelled when her hand brushed on my bandaged shoulder.

"sorry Percy."

"It's ok mom."

"It's not ok, I should be more careful."

"Yeah whatever."

"Percy, you've been out for a whole week. The doctors said you were found in a car park almost dead blood all over you and on the floor. Also the doctors found a huge bite mark on your shoulder. Like huge. They thought it was a bear."

"Oh great, when am I allowed to leave this place?"

"This evening, just you'll have to use a bandage on your shoulder."

"Thanks."

"And then you are going straight Paul and mine house. Understood."

"Mo'om I'm 19 for goodness sake, I'm old enough. I'm going to camp."

"Well honey, if you are sure..."

"Mom! I'm totally sure!"

"Come on, help me out."

I walked over the border of camp when I realized I was slowing down a little bit.

But when I passed through it was all right.

"Percy!" I heard Annabeth.

"Hi."

"What happened to you?"

"Well I got attacked by a giant bear at the car park after the movie."

"Oh."

"Anyways, I got back here to remember the memories. I mean its been, what, 3 years since I have been here."

"Same here, but well, I came here to heal again." Suddenly we heard hooves patting the ground and I saw Chiron coming to us.

"Percy!"

"Hi."

"What-"

"Bear attack."

"And I guess you are here to heal right?"

"Yep."

"Well then you will be relieved from your normal routine and you can do what you want."

"Great."

"But ancient Greek and battle strategies are still to be done." I sighed.

"Well, ok."

"Bye see you at Supper."

"Bye." I left Annabeth standing in the middle. Looking at both of us going in different directions.


I sat down at my table at camp. It felt so homey here.

Once everyone was settled down a dryad brought me some food.

I threw some food into the fire.

"Please dad, could you get this pain away from me, it's killin' me." I whispered into the smoke. There was an ocean breeze right in my face. My hair flew back a little.

I sat down at my table knowing that he had heard me.

At the campfire Chiron told us that today the Athena cabin was going to be the one entretaining the campers. Many people groaned. When ever the Athenians actually told something at the fire most people sat with bored faces.

Why?

Yeah they mainly talked about learning which got on many people's nerves.

But today we were actually allowed to bring marshomellows to the campfire.

At least it wasn't gonna be so bad.

I sat down on one of the logs. The Hermes cabin practacly pushing me of.

"Attention!" The Athenians shouted. "Attention!"

"Silence!" Yelled Chiron. Everyone stopped talking."

"Thanks." Annabeth said."Anyways, hello campers, today the Athena cabin decided to tell the story of the lighting thief." There were several whispers from the newer campers the older ones looked at each other equally excited.

"Once, about 7 years ago on the winter solstice a powerful weapon was stolen..." Annabeth told the story of us and Grover when we went on the quest. There were several funny bits when the lavatory exploded or when Mr.D threatened me that he would turn me into a dolphin if I didn't go on the quest.

There was a lot of whispering at the part when I faced Ares. That was kinda funny.

But the thing that I swore was that I would sometime kill Annabeth. She was such an ididot. Because every once in a while she looked at me. As a result people soon realized she was talking about me and their eyes widened.

That night, I was tiered and I wanted to go to my sea smelling cabin but I decided to actually go to the sea.

I kicked off my shoes and dipped my feet in the water. I loved the feeling. But suddenly I felt a tug towards the forest. The feeling pulled me to it. I put on my socks and my shoes.

And I did the dummest thing ever I ran to the forest.
