Chapter One: Percabeth Falls Apart
Annabeth and I were practicing our archery when Chiron walked toward us with a guy who looked about our age. He had blond hair and black eyes that seemed to glow in a strange way. I looked him up and down, and realized he was pretty good looking. Not that I was interested, but never mind.
"Hello, Percy and Annabeth. Since you two have saved the world several times successfully, I have a job for you. This is Shane. He has just arrived at camp so I would like you to show him around before dinner. Goodbye, Shane." Chiron walked away, leaving me and Annabeth to deal with this Shane creature.
"Hi, I'm Percy Jackson." I reached out my hand, and he shook it firmly without saying a word.
"H-H-Hi. Annabeth Chase." Annabeth was stuttering with fear at him. Wait, that didn't sound right. Shaking with fear? Hatred? Admiration? Yeah, admiration. Oh wait, that's bad. Annabeth loves me, right? Right? RIGHT?
"Pleasure. Shane Walker." Shane tipped his black hat at us.
"So, who's your immortal parent?" I asked, very politely.
"Percy, that's rude." Annabeth whispered, elbowing me in the gut. I doubled over with pain. She has a pretty sharp elbow.
"Follow me," she said sweetly, taking him by the arm. No! NO NOOOOOOO! This Shane person was stealing my future wife! MY life was flashing befoe my very eyes! Wait, that's death. Never mind. I started to run after them, but I stopped myself. I needed to formulate a plan.
