My name is Adelaide Hunter and I am about to tell you the story of how my whole demigod life was turned upside down. I think the best place to start is telling you a bit about me. Well here I go:

My full name is Adelaide Sarah Hunter. My friends call me Addie. I grew up in San Diego, California with my dad in our small house by the beach. I was home schooled for my entire life, but I always had plenty of neighbors who were my friends.

The day before I went to camp this summer a giant blue crab attacked my best friend. My life is so interesting.

It was a typical Saturday morning. I woke up at 7:30 and went down stairs to see my dad already making my favorite blueberry pancakes. He looked up when I entered.

"Lizzy called," he said, flipping a pancake. "She asked if you wanted to go shopping today." I sat down at my usual spot at our little square table. My dad put some pancakes on my plate and I dug in.

"Are you going?" Dad asked when I had finished eating. I took a large sip of orange juice, thinking the idea over. Considering that it was Lizzy who had asked, I thought about declining. She would probably spend the entire time making me try on outfits I had no intention of wearing ever in my life. Then Lizzy would make me help her pick out outfits. I really hated shopping with Lizzy, but it was the last time I was going to see her before I went off to Camp HalfBlood all the way in New York, and I wouldn't see her again till August. So I told my dad that I would go with her.

I flipped open my midnight blue cellphone and read Lizzy's text again. Now I know that it isn't the greatest idea in the world for a demigod to have a cellphone, but Chiron had said that texting was safer than actually making a call. Plus, when I first arrived at camp HalfBlood three years ago, I already owned a cell phone.

Anyways, while I was rereading Lizzy's text, which said to meet her outside Jamba Juice, I heard someone running down the street. I looked up. I saw Lizzy. This may have been good, except for one thing: she was being chased by the biggest crab I had ever seen.

"Aw, Styx," I mumbled under my breath. I slipped my cell back in my pocket just as Lizzy came to stop next to me. Her face was as red as cherry juice, her clothes were completely soaked, and her blonde hair was full of seaweed. As she bent over panting, I asked her what had happened.

Through gasping breaths, Lizzy explained how she had been taking detour to the mall to meet me along the beach and how the crab had burst out of the water, getting seawater and seaweed all over her, and attacked her. Only just then I noticed the crab hadn't sliced us to pieces. I looked up and saw none other than the son of Hades holding off the crab. I could never remember his name. I wondered why he was in San Diego. Not to see me or fight giant crabs, that's for sure.

He looked at me with an expression on his face that said "Get-your-lazy-butt-over-here-and-help-me!" I took the hint and tapped my yin-yang necklace. The symbol fell off their string I wore the pendant on. They separated and grew bigger until they were two curved swords with silver and black handles. I gripped a sword in each hand and attacked the crab, leaving Lizzy to catch her breath.

Ten minutes later, when the son of Hades and I were both covered in cuts and monster dust, Lizzy sat me down and demanded to know what exactly had just happened and if the "creepy Goth kid" (aka the son of Hades) was my new boyfriend. I rolled my eyes at her and said, "He's not my boyfriend. You have seen pictures of my boyfriend. Alex is way hotter than Nico." I had finally remembered his name in the middle of the fight with the huge crab.

Lizzy looked satisfied. She waved at Nico shyly and I rolled my eyes at her again. The stupid blonde was a boy maniac. I know for a fact that she had hit on every hot guy at every school she ever went to. The girl was out of control.

Nico came over and leaned against a tree. Lizzy flipped her hair and batted her eyes at him. He did not seem to notice her.

"What brings you to San Diego, Nico?" I asked him. He raised an eyebrow at me. I just stared at him.

"I came to pick up your friend here," he said. I admit, I was a little shocked. I couldn't believe that Lizzy was a demigod. Then again, it was indeed possible. Lizzy was dyslexic and had ADHD, like most demigods, so I guess I should have guessed that she was one of us.

I turned to look at her. Lizzy stared at me blankly. I smiled.

"I guess you're coming to camp with me after all, eh Lizzy?"
