Prologue

Annabeth

I sprinted down the dark alley as I saw the shadow of the three hellhounds on the bricks of a building. Food I had recently stolen was falling out of my bag as I tried to remember my path. My hiding place wasn't far from here but the monsters were catching up. For once in my life I regretted running away from home. I came to a sudden stop when I saw a 12-foot fence blocking my way. Think Annabeth. I thought about climbing the fence but to my dismay, it was coated with barbwire. I was trapped. I knew I couldn't fight all three monsters at once. I could see them now and they were almost to me. I cringed my eyes when I saw one of them explode. I saw a boy about 7 or 6 years old, the same age as me, covered in dust. He had his hood up which covered his face, but I could see black messy hair sticking out. I shook off my shock and got to work on killing the other hellhounds. After I had killed the second one, I noticed the boy was trapped in a corner. I ran over and slashed his leg and then the boy stabbed it and it evaporated. I put my hands on my knees and sighed. I walked towards him and he abruptly shuffled away. I put my hands up and stopped. I stood there for a few minutes, trying to figure out his situation. I noticed him fiddling with a ballpoint pen wondering what it was. After we rested for a little bit I said,

"Thanks." After I didn't get an answer, I took a better look at him. He had a red jacket and dark wash jeans with holes and dirt marks on them. I could tell he had a deep tan though he was covered in scrapes and gashes. His sneakers had scuff marks and his shoe laces were brown from dirt. His hair looked as he had been in the rain or took a swim. He carried a large blue backpack that looked fairly new as though he stole it or something. It was open and I saw 3 water bottles, a map, huge amounts of food, and a photo that I couldn't really make out. Soon I got uncomfortable with the silence so I tried again,

"So you're a halfblood, huh?" still no answer. I sighed. After another 5 minutes he finally asked,

"Are the monsters gone?" His voice sounded small but strong like he has been through a lot.

"Yes, I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena," I said proudly. He looked up at me and took off his hood.

"I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon."

Soo how was it? I know it was short but the others are gonna be longer I promise. Please review! I'm so excited for this story.
