Ch. 1
I Meet The New Kid
My name is Annabeth Chase. I didn't ask to be a demigod. I didn't ask to be almost getting killed every 5 minutes. But here I was anyway, training, and training, and training. But all of the training stopped when one particular boy came into my life. His name? Percy Jackson.
Loud. That was my first thought when I was woken up. Then I realized everybody was shouting... at 1:00 in the morning? I knew something was wrong. Some of my siblings had already left the cabin. I put my hair up in a bun, slipped on some shoes, and headed out the door.
I gasped when I saw what was happening. Chiron was blocking the gate out of camp to stop kids from going to help the boy. I could still see a kid with black hair and sea green eyes fighting a what? I squinted my eyes, and saw it was a Minotaur. I rushed over to help but Chiron stopped me. "No child," He warned, "This is Percy's fight."
Percy? I looked up at him. Then the whole camp fell silent. I looked over and saw the Minotaur roaring, but not from delight, from pain! The boy had killed the Minotaur. I glanced at Chiron and saw he had a small smirk on his face. "Leave, everyone. The show is over," But he looked at me when he said this and I reads his expression. Stay. I nodded slightly. All the campers stared to go their separate ways. Chiron pulled me aside and pointed. Percy, who had fallen to his knees when the fight had ended, was slowly starting to get up. He grabbed Grover, and started mumbling. "Mom. Mom, please, come back! Mom!"
"I looked at Chiron, "Wha-?"
He put a finger up to his lips, and pointed to the scene, motioning for me to just watch. Percy had started heading towards the big house. He got to the porch and collapsed. Chiron and I rushed over there and stopped, staring down at him. A dryad came to collect Grover. I stared at the new kid's face. A jolt went through me, as I stared at him.
"He's the one! He must be!" I said.
"Silence, Annabeth," Chiron said, "He is still conscious. Bring him inside."
