The Find

Annabeth's POV

Percy and I were just having a lovely picnic lunch when 2 random kids had to ruin it.

I know that sounds rude, but come on. Am I not supposed to be at least a little bit ticked off if 2 kids randomly fall from the sky then set our picnic on fire?

Anyways, here's what happened.

"Liking it, Annabeth?" Percy asked, his mouth full with his PB&J sandwich. He acted like such a kid sometimes.

"You are such a Seaweed Brain," I said, giggling.

"Thanks," he said, and we both burst out laughing. Then, there was an awkward silence. We leaned in slowly, lips about to touch when we heard a girl and a boy screaming. I looked up, and saw 2 kids hurling towards as at the speed of sound. They were on fire, and from the looks of it they weren't actually burning.

Percy and I moved out of the way just before they landed right on our picnic, setting the entire thing on fire. Percy, finally acting smart for once, used water from the nearby lake to put it out. The kids looked up at us, then the girl looked at the boy, and screamed in a british accent, "Seriously James? You had to suggest that to Zeus? You know he doesn't like to be questioned!" I looked at them both closely. They looked like 11 year olds, probably twins, and they both had fire red hair and freckles. Their eyes were the most normal thing about them. They were a light brown, and kind of looked like firewood.

"Sorry if we were a bit rude, we didn't want to interupt your tea party," the girl said quickly. "I'm Ella and this is my brother, James. We kinda grew up on Olympus, blah blah blah, we were made out of fire by Hestia, so we're technically her demigod children, and James and I kinda insulted Zeus, and yada yada boom! We're falling off Olympus!"

"Uh, okay?" Percy said unsure.

"Perce, let's take them to camp," I said. "They can't survive a day out in the open. Chiron will know what to do."

Percy looked at the ashes of our picnic. "Yeah, let's leave before we get blamed for something by the police."

"Okay," James said out of nowhere. "One question, what are police?"

Ella nodded as if she wanted to know that as well.

"This is gonna take a while," I muttered. "C'mon, James and Ella, you've got a lot to learn."

Hey guys! This is finally out! Sorry for the wait, but I've been busy! Anyways, sorry this is short, it's just the beginning. Buh bye!

Live Love Laugh,
