Hai! Welcome to "How to Get to Olympus"! If your reading this, then I have readers! Yaaaay! Anyway, this is my first fan-fiction. Usually I right original stories, but after reading the Percy Jackson series, I couldn't resist. So here's chapter one: I Become One With Nature.

I'm Jackson Vancoover. A normal 14 year old. Well, that's what I thought before this day. After I had experienced so much, I just couldn't keep it to myself. So I wrote this book. But be careful. If your holding this book, if you reading it right now, he could be after you. And if he is, we have no time to lose. Read this book at your own pace, but remember this. Make sure a friend always has your back, and don't trust anyone. Not even your best friend. Anyone could betray you… just like that... Okay, let me try this again…

Hi, I'm Jackson Vancoover. I'm 14 going on… 14… anyway, during the summer, I like to hike, so that's what I'm doing later today. I grabbed my backpack and filled it up with ONLY essentials. [In other words, chips and soda.] My mom told me to take an OFF: Clip On! Because for some reason, I was like a mosquito-magnet. So I grabbed one and stuck it in my pocket. I looked out my window. It was cloudy, but that's the only time worth hiking. I walked outside. Ah, fresh air. We lived near a strawberry field in Rhode Island. I've never actually been there because I usually hiked on trails. So today, I wanted to see if what it was like. I walked into the green-filled land. I saw the fields nearby. There was a hill that led to a giant pine. Near it was an entrance. On top it read Camp Half-Blood. I never knew we lived near a camp. I heard a loud sound from camp, maybe a siren. I started toward it, but then I tripped. I looked down. There was a wheat vine stuck to my shoe. The wheat started growing. I widened my eyes and tried to run, without luck. The vine had wrapped around my feet. I grabbed the vine, I tried ripping it. I ripped it, but it grew back every time I tried. It grew around my legs, then waist, then chest, then arms, then… well, you get the idea. The vines weren't wrapped around me tight enough to suffocate me, but it WAS tight enough to temporarily paralyze me. The siren continued, and three kids ran out. One had shiny brown hair that grew down to her back, another had shaggy black hair that reached his neck, and the last had short black hair that covered his eyebrows. The girl had green eyes, the boy with the shaggy hair had brown eyes, and the last boy had blue eyes. They all had an orange shirt that said Camp Half-Blood on it. "Who are you?" The girl asked. "Jackson Vancoover." I replied, in a kind of muffled voice.

"Are you a mortal?" The boy with blue eyes asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"No reason."

"Should we trust him?" the brown eyed boy whispered to the rest.

"No." The girl replied.

"Wait, why not?" I replied, still struggling.

"Quiet." The blue eyed boy said.

"Why?" I asked

"Mira?"

"Patience, Daniel."

"But-"

"Fine."

She put her hand up, and the vines wrapped my mouth. Then she pulled out a sword that looked gold-ish. I struggled even more. She swung the sword at me, and I yelped. [Well, tried to anyway.] I looked down at where she swung, expecting to see blood. But I felt no pain. Maybe it was because I was wrapped in vines. Maybe it was because I was dead, or maybe it was because… the sword hadn't hurt me? She pulled the sword out. There was no hole… no blood, on me or the sword. I gaped as she did two, along with the other two.. "What… just happened?" I asked. "No time to explain. You have to come with us." The girl said. She pointed her hand at me, then made a fist. The vines grew started growing again… above my neck… on my mouth… My eyes started closing, if they weren't already shut. I passed out, and couldn't feel anything anymore…

Yup. Bad start huh? I just sort of wrote. The storyline isn't very obvious right now, but it will be soon Oh, and if your wondering why they kidnapped… or… err… teennapped… vine-d… him… anyway, it's because they can't let him reveal the existence of the camp to anyone. So they brought him along
