Lost and Found: Chapter 1

Hey guys! I came up with another story idea! I really hope you enjoy it! Be sure to give me ANY suggestions you have. Take note of how much I emphasized any my friends. So, please, enjoy it and review it!

Well, as everyone knows, the best place to start, is the beginning, so that's where I'm going to start. After the war. I went into hiding along with Thalia, Nico, Clarisse, Connor, Travis, Katie, Silena, Bekendorf, and my new half-brother, Micheal. As you probably guessed from the "hiding" part we failed. Actually, I failed. The whole world depended on me and I completely messed it all up.

As you probably noticed, Annabeth was not with us. She demanded that she stay and try to protect the rest of the survivors. When we Iris messaged her a week later, we saw her get killed by Cronos himself.

It has been 2 years since then. I'm now 18 and trying to survive with the group. We move whenever we can. Killing monsters whenever we can.

Then, something changed. Something that would be crucial to our survival.

It was a horrible winter day and we were, at the moment, where in an ally. The ally was cold and damp and many of us were not feeling so fresh.

I decided it would be best if Connor, Travis, and I went and got (steal) some food for the others. Together, we left the damp alleyway and walked down the grimy, slushy, streets of Manhattan. We stayed close to the wall, concealed to the shadows.

We made our way down the street and to the local deli.

We pulled our hoods low onto our heads so no one would recognize us. You see, we were the number one people on the Titan's MOST WANTED list. I entered the deli first, with Connor right after and Travis trailing a little back. As Connor started to flirt with the teen at the counter, Travis started to take money from the cash register. I walked over to the racks of candy, gum, and chips. I was able to fit about 30 candy bars, 40 packs of gum, and 35 bags of chips in the bag before the lady realized what we were doing.

Her eyes widened and she called 911 on her phone. We ran out of the store with all our stolen goods and bounded into the closest alleyway to see what we had. Travis came up with 200 dollars and 46 cents from the cash register and Connor was able to sneak enough pastries for all of the group.

I smiled, feeling excited that we would be able to give the team enough food to fill our stomachs and a little extra.

Extra. Wow. That was a new word in the book.

"Wow man!" Connor exclaimed, "This is enough for everyone!"

"I know! We'll have a happy Clarisse tonight!" I replied.

"Yay!" Travis said gleefully, jumping up and down and clapping his hands together which was a little creepy.

We started heading back to deliver the food to our likely starved friends. On the way,I spotted a young woman sitting in an alleyway, clutching a baby to her chest, and shushing it in a kindly manor.

I walked by her and noticed something. She was wearing dirty, ripped up cloths and dangling owl earrings. She also wore a leather necklace with 9 clay beads on it. I stopped in my tracks and turned around. She had a bronze knife strapped to her side.

She looked up and green eyes met grey. I then knew it.

This woman was Annabeth Chase.

Soooooooo, did you like it, hate it, trash it, oh I don't know what else you'd do to it. Please review! I know I need help and you have to give it to me! Tell me if you think things in the story should turn out a certain way and I'll play with it!

R&R!
