Percy

When I put my arms around Hazel and Frank, I felt a sense of relief. I've been through a lot in the past week with these guys and they mean a lot to me. I hope my old friends don't mind that they're Romans. I don't think that they will… well except maybe Clarissa and the Ares cabin.

When we got to the field of Mars, Hazel, Frank, and I all sat down by the water. I was getting anxious and worried about seeing Annabeth, Just thinking about seeing her makes me nervous.

She's going to kill me I thought to myself.

Frank and Hazel must have seen how nervous I was to see my old friends because Hazel gave me a friendly hug. "Everything is going to be fine Percy, just you wait and see." She said as she pulled away.

"Yeah" Frank said reassuringly "Your Percy Jackson, people must be going crazy worrying about you."

I looked down into the sea and waited. I guess that's the only thing I can do. Wait for my old friends. I feel useless, I thought I should be searching for them; I'm the one who's been asleep for eight months.

I took a deep breath as I looked at Hazel and Frank and smiled. I couldn't wait to introduce them to my friends, especially Annabeth.

"You guys are going to like Annabeth" I said breaking the silence.

Hazel Smiled "What's she like?"

"She's… funny, smart, gods she is beyond smart," I said quickly "An amazing fighter, strong, fierce, and to be honest… sometimes she scares me." I couldn't help but laugh and neither could Frank and Hazel. Frank smiled and shook his head "How long have you known her?"

I looked at the sea again "I was twelve. So was she and I had just beaten a Minotaur with my bare hands," I looked at Frank who's eye's went wide "It sounds cool" I continued "But to be honest I don't think I've ever been more scared in my entire life. Anyways, I was weak from my fight and Annabeth healed me." I took a breath and laughed "She hated me at first when I was claimed by Poseidon, and when I got offered my first quest to retrieve Zeus's lightning bolt, she told me she has never been on a quest and she wanted to come with me. I was scared not to take her." I looked at Hazel who was smiling and Frank who was looking at my with anticipation to finish the story "We fought so well and got to know each other after that, every quest we went on, we took each other, we were best friends for 5 years."

Hazel smiled and went in for another hug as she pulled away she said she couldn't wait to met her. I was glad my new friends were okay with the fact I was Greek and I had Greek friends. I was also very happy they trusted me.

Reyna and a bunch of other armed Romans came up behind us. "Percy, remember our deal. They attack, and you fight with us." I nodded and stood up along with Hazel and Frank.

I heard a weird noise, like a scream coming from the air. Apparently I wasn't the only one. Me and a bunch of other Romans looked in the sky to see what appears to be a metal ship coming down from the air.
