Disclaimer: I do NOT own Percy Jackson
My footsteps echoed as I briskly walked down the dark passageway. I was free from the underworld. According to Lord Hades, much of Camp Half-Blood was currently at a roman camp called Camp Jupiter. I burst through the doors of DOA Recording Studios and onto the streets of Hollywood.
For the first time in months, I breathed in the fresh air. I quickly hailed a taxi and headed off to San Francisco.
Upon arrival at Camp Jupiter, I was fiercely questioned for my identity and they requested all of my weapons. Of course, after being in the underworld for 2 full years, I was unarmed. Many Romans began to surround me and escorted me to a large and seemingly empty room. "We've been expecting you." I heard from the far corner. Percy Jackson stepped out from the shadows; Annabeth Chase was by his side.
I heard footsteps behind me and turned around. A young blonde boy stepped out, flanked be 2 other kids his age. The doors burst open and I saw the person that I had missed the most.
Jacinda Winsted- my ex-girlfriend- framed the doorway. "Luke." She muttered. I wanted to run and hug her right then but I had a feeling that would be frowned upon. Moments later, the room was filled with people; Many of which I didn't know.
"I understand that introductions are needed, but first, you must tell us who you are." The blonde boy stated.
"I am Luke Castellan." I said loudly. Percy sneered and gestured back to the blonde.
"My name is Jason Grace. I am son of Jupiter, AKA, Zeus." The blonde guy said, completely emotionless "This is Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite," He pointed to the girl on his left and wrapped his arm around her, "This is Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus." He put his other arm around the Latino boy's shoulder.
"Nico di Angelo, son of Hades." Said the pale boy behind me. "I don't believe that we have ever formally met, but I was one of the kids trying to get you killed."
"Reyna, demigod daughter of Bellona, and Praetor of Camp Jupiter."
"Frank, son of Mars, AKA, Ares."
"Hazel, daughter of Pluto, AKA, Hades."
I saw Thalia and Grover standing side by side. On the other side of the room stood the Stoll twins, my brothers. Reyna dropped a large box on the desk in the center of the room. She pulled out a book and read the title, "Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief."
"What?" I asked.
"These books are written in Percy's point of view from the time he was 12 years old. We have been ordered to read them as a group once you arrived." Reyna explained.
We all sat on the floor and the book was handed to Annabeth. "I thought that we are all dyslexic…" I frowned.
"These are Greek copies, you dummy." Reyna scoffed. Annabeth opened the book to the first page and sighed. Jacinda scooted a little bit closer to me and looked me in the eye. It had been way too long since the last time I saw her pretty face, but all I cared was that she was here right now.
Annabeth cleared her throat and began to read.
