I woke up to sun beaming in through the window. I glanced at the clock to check the time.
"Oh gods, I overslept!" I jumped out of bed, and quickly got dressed. Normally, I move pretty slow in the morning, but if I didn't hurry, Annabeth would kill me. I ran in to the kitchen to see Annabeth laughing with are as of today, 11 year old son, Charlie, and are 7 year old daughter, Zöe.
Annabeth smiled, "Glad you could finally join us, seaweed brain."
"Sorry, I overslept."
"Well, you better hurry and get ready, we need to leave for the water park in half an hour. We don't want to be late, especially since it's Charlie's birthday."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure we leave on time."
*fast foward to when they get to the water park*POV CharlieThough we didn't leave as early as mom wanted, we still got a good parking spot and found a nice shady spot to put our stuff.
"Your mom and I are going to go to the lazy river, you guys want to come?" My dad asked.
"I want to ride the water slides!" Zöe chimed in.
"You can't go off by yourself, what if-"
"I can go with her." I suggested.
"I don't know, are you guys sure you can handle yourselves?"
"Come on, I'm eleven years old now, I can handle it."
"Please daddy?" Zöe begged.
"Fine, but be careful and if there's a problem, get us immediately."
"Yes! Thanks dad, and I promise we'll be careful." Then we ran off to go ride the water slides.
We were headed towards the slides, when we were stopped by a strange man. The man was huge, and smelly.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.
"W-we were just heading towards the water slides." I said, trying to sound brave, but there was something about this man, he almost didn't seem human.
"I don't think so."
"Dude, what's your problem?"
"I'm hungry young half-blood, and you look tasty."
"Half-blood?"
"Don't play dumb with me, demigod. I'll eat you for lunch, and Ill have the little one for desert."
I pulled Zöe behind me to protect her. "Look, I don't know who you are, but you can't eat me, or my sister!" I filled with rage and fear, then I felt this a pulling in my gut. Suddenly, almost as if I controlled it, the water lurched up and pulled the under.
"Run! We need to go get mom and dad!" I told Zöe, I wasn't sure what was happening, but I had to make sure my sister was okay.
We made it to the lazy river and looked for out parents. "Mom... dad... creepy guy... water... help!" I was so out of breath tjat I could barely spreak. I figured they thought we were crazy. They exchanged nervous glances. Then, the man came running towards us again.
"Daddy, that's him! That's the scary man!" Zöe screamed.
"Annabeth, get the kids to the car, I'll stay and fight."
"Percy I-" Mom had started to protest, but decided against it.
"Maybe you should take them to camp, It'll be safest there!" I didn't understand what he was talking about, but mom seemed to understand completely.
"I love you, Percy"
"I love you too, Annabeth. And don't worry, I'll make it out."
Mom picked up Zöe, grabbed my hand, and we ran all the way to the car. I thought we were going to wait for dad, but mom just drove away.
"What about dad?"
"He'll be fine, but I need to make sure you guys stay safe."
"What's going on? I'm scared."
"I know, I'll explain later, but right now, your safety is more important."
We drove for a while, we finally stopped at a camp, with a big pine tree in front of it.
"Where are we?"
"Kids, welcome to camp half-blood, now we need to hurry. Come on."
"What is a half-blood? The maman at the water park used it too."
"It'll all make sense later, just be patient."
We walked past the big pine tree, and right into camp. It looked like your typical summer camp, except this one had kids sword fighting.
"Are those swords real?"
"Yes."
Then a guy walked over to us, I recognized her, it was Uncle Grover. The closer he got, the wierder he looked, he had goat legs.
"Annabeth? What are you doing here? And where's Percy?" Grover asked, he looked very worried.
"Monster attack. Can you watch the kids, I need to talk to Chiron?"
"Yeah, but later, you need to tell me what happened."
"Great. Can you explain to them what's going on? I'd prefer to tell them, but I really need to talk to Chiron."
"Sure, he's in the big house."
"Thanks. Kids, be good for Uncle Grover, I'll be back soon." Then she left, I couldn't believe she just left us alone with Grover and he s wierd goat legs.
"It's been a while since I've seen you guys, how old are you now?" He said, trying to break the awkward silence.
"I'm 11, and Zöe's 7. Why do you have goat legs?"
"Well, I'm a Satyr, we protect half-bloods and-"
"Why do people keep using tjat word, but nobody will tell us what it means?"
"It means you're half mortal, and half god. Most demigods don't live long enough to have kids, but your parents did, then they had you."
"So we're half god? Awesome!" Zöe seemed way more excited about this then I was.
"The gods? Like Zeus and Hera?"
"Yeah, but don't mention those two to your parents, they don't really het along with Zeus and Hera."
"So you're saying the gods are real? That's impossible!"
"You remind me a lot of your dad when he first found out. I was the one who brought him to camp."
"So if are parents are children of a god, which one is it?"
"Well, your mom is a daughter of Athena, and your dad is the son of Poseidon."
"So if we're part god, do we get powers or something?"
"Well, your dad can control water, and talk to horses and sea creatures. Your mom is super smart and good at making battle strategy. It's probably too early to know if you guys have any powers."
"Control water?" I thought about when the water had grabbing that man, what if I could control water?
"Yeah, pretty cool right?"
"Yeah. Is there somewhere ro sleep, I need a minute to process this."
"Yeah, we have cabins that you can sleep in. You get assigned your cabin based on your godly parent, but since your parents are half-bloods, we'll put you in the Posiedon cabin. Percy's the only demigod child of Poseidon, so nobody should bother you there."
We walked into a cabin, it was pretty nice, a little fountain, hose-fish things dangling from the ceiling, and a few bunks. Next to one of the bunks there was a picture, I think it was of my mom and dad when they were younger, they looked about 16. My mom had her blonde hair in a ponytail, they both were wearing a orange shirt that said 'Camp Half-blood', jeans, and thier bead necklaces that they always wore.
"Wow, this is-"
"I know it's a lot to ttake in, but you'll get used to it, and soon you'll feel right at home. I'll give you some time, I'll be outside if you need me.
