I panted as the air around me managed to evade my desperate lungs. 7 miles I had ran, seven just to escape that ungrateful, two-faced, ungracious camp. "I hate this life" I moaned "I hate it!" Perfection grazed my life before retreating and laughing in mockery. I hate Andrew, I hate Annabeth I hate that whole camp fucking camp with every fiber of my being.
Flashback
I sat in my cabin pondering over where I should give Annabeth the ring that will tie our lives together forever. I had jumped into the depths of hell, fought back monsters, titans, giants and primordial's just for her and there wasn't any thing that was going to change my mind. At least that was what I thought. Suddenly the sound of a horn cut through the air entering my cabin and leaving again. That horn meant one of three things one the Stolls have gotten a hold of the horn, two the camp is under attack, or the third option a new half blood was approaching the camp. As quick as a flash I leaped out of my bed and dashed out the door leaving a trail of dust behind me.
Reaching into my pocket I took out the most loyal weapon I've ever had Anaklusmos. Uncapping the pen a 3 foot celestial bronze blade grew and the pen itself changed into a leather handle. Not wasting anytime I ran to the borders of the camp leaving all the campers behind me. As I approached the border I saw a teenage boy running for the borders of the camp waving a long branch trying to fend off the Hellhounds chasing him. I sighed at the boys ignorance, he had a lot to learn at this camp. Jumping out of the borders I ran to the boys side and raised my sword protecting him from a huge claw that threatened to kill him.
"Yo back up" the boy growled "I can handle myself." I showed my teeth as I held back the claw "A thanks wouldn't hurt" I growled in frustration. Once he moved out of the way I managed to shove the giant claw away throwing the giant hound off balance. I looked to my right and saw the boy swinging a stick at another spawn of hell before swatting it on the nose. It was pretty amusing seeing as it was like hitting a dog with a rolled up news paper. The hell hound grabbed the stick in its large jaws before yanking it out of the boys grip and applying pressure snapping it like a twig. I knew he was in trouble and took off bounding across the grassy area with ease. With one large leap I jumped on to the demons back and pulled on its ears bringing its snapping muzzle away from the boys head.
The boy seemed irritated at this but I did not care in the slightest for I had my own troubles to deal with. I tightened my legs around the canines body and lifted my sword ready to strike before my lips curved up. A silver arrow had imbedded its self in the monsters head making it go cross eyed before promptly turning to dust and knocking me onto my backside. A volley of more arrows rained down taking about a dozen more monsters out leaving about to three left. It was now a race between me and the hunters who could kill the hell hounds first. I jumped out of the way 6 silver arrows aimed for my shoulders before rolling under a hell hound and slicing it from head to rear turning it in to a easy cleaning service. Three more arrows this time aimed at my legs flew but I slashed them out of the air with a smile at the challenge. I was enjoying myself so much that I didn't even notice the complaining teenagers or the other campers staring in shock.
I was completely in the zone and nothing would stop me. I lunged at the second hell spawn and turned my body sideways slashing more arrows aimed for the creatures before taking my three feet of celestial bronze and beheading the snapping creature turning it to a pile of dust. I smiled and looked at a single arrow cutting through the air towards the last hell hound, I knew I couldn't stop it so I watched its progress. It whizzed through the air, before cutting right in to the skull of the demon dog making it yelp before disintegrating leaving the arrow to fall to the ground. I looked at the arrow slightly amused before turning around and being tackled by a midnight black haired girl knocking me to the ground. I chuckled and ruffled the spike hair before seeing the other hunters eyes and stopping "Hi Thalia." Thalia in return stood up and smiled her natural Goth look smile "It's good to see you Percy." I looked at the piercing in her ear and noticed the ear ring of a wolf head.
"So you decided to dedicate yourself more to the hunt" I asked gesturing to the piercing. She lifted her hand and put it in between in her forefinger and thumb before rubbing "Yep got it last week." I stood up and dusted the monster remains off me before taking the piercing in between my fingers. I heard the hunters growl at this and I jumped back before tripping over my own feet and falling to the ground making me grunt. An arrow landed in between my legs menacingly almost making me whimper. I looked up to see Phoebe boring her eyes into my skull. I knew why she was angry but I didn't comment on it. After Thalia sent the hunters to their cabins I stood up carefully avoiding the arrow. "Sorry about that Percy she is still a little angry" I raised an eyebrow "Okay a lot angry but anyways I need to get the hunters set up before Lady Artemis arrives so I'll see you later." She gave me a hug before jogging off towards the camp grounds.
"Excuse me" I heard an arrogant voice say and I turned around to see the teenager who was being attacked looking at me annoyed. "Oh yeah you" I muttered "What was that" he questioned in the form of a threat. Well it would of been a scary if he wasn't about a foot shorter than me making him five foot two. "Nothing" I sighed "So what is your name?" He put a fist to his puffed out chest "Andrew Ocean" he said importantly. (O-see-an) I rolled my eyes "Great just what this camp needs an arrogant teenager" I thought. Rolling my eyes I tried to keep my patience "Well Andrew I am-" He cut me off "Yeah Percy Jackson dad has already told me." This caught my attention "Dad?" He nodded "Yeah you know Poseidon, ruler of all sea's." This really irked me to the point that I felt my eye twitching but I chose to ignore it. "Well follow me Andrew" He rolled his eyes "Whatever." I turned around and headed for the camp Andrew in tow.
When we passed the borders I began to jog towards the big house, all the campers had gone back to their regular activities so I maneuvered easily and Andrew followed suit. Once we reached the big house I opened the door and entered revealing Chiron sitting in his wheel chair reading "Ah Percy what brings you here" he asked looking up from his book. "Hey Chiron, we have a new camper his name is Andrew Ocean" I gestured to the black haired boy. "Ah Andrew, your father told me you would be showing up soon" I stared at my mentor in shock. "Let me get this straight" I said "He told you that Andrew was coming but didn't even give me the slightest clue?" Chiron looked a little dismayed at this "Well Andrew I'll have Percy show you around the camp and-" Andrew cut him off. "Sorry pony man I already know my way around so I don't need this little dork" I could feel my fist tighten at this comment but ignored it. He then turned around and walked out of the big house.
Chiron trotted nervously "I sense that one is going to be trouble." I cracked my neck "No kidding." I walked out of the big house to leave Chiron back to his reading and headed towards the sparring fields. As I got closer I Thalia caught up with me and smiled "So, where are you going." I huffed in frustration "To the sparring fields to work off some anger." She jumped at the idea "Oh, can I join? I can finally kick your ass to Olympus." This made me chuckle "If you want to lose be my guest." She stuck her tounge out childishly at me and laughed.
We reached the sparring fields and saw a group of people muttering and chatting among themselves. This raised my and I guess Thalia's curiosity so we snuck closer. "Did you hear" A kid said "Andrew took on over a dozen hell hounds with only a branch." I couldn't believe my ears "All Percy Jackson did was watch, I knew he wasn't a true hero." I fell over standing up "You heard that too right Thalia?" I looked up to see her shocked face. I stood up and whipped around before shoving a path to the center and what I saw left me absolutely dumbstruck.
Annabeth, my Annabeth was kissing Andrew full on the lips. My sight darkened and I blacked out.
