I do not own PJO Rick Riordan does

It's been 5 years since I've seen Annabeth and camp. I was 17 when I left. I left right after I broke her heart, and couldn't force myself to ever go back. That is until Chiron IM'd me and begged me to come back and be the sword instructor. I had initially turned him down, but after him calling me every day I finally gave in and agreed.

I was out of collage for the semester and wouldn't go back for another year. I over the years I've had more monsters attack me than probably anyone, and it showed with my skill. As far as I knew Annabeth had moved on probably through with college. She always did want to be an architect I wondered if her goal succeeded. I thought about this on my drive from New York to Camp-Half-blood. After the war my dad had gifted me a truck. It was an F-150 Velociraptor, with a few modifications of course, such as the body was made of Celestial Bronze, windows and tires were unbreakable and the motor was enhanced by Hephaestus so it would run about 220, and cops couldn't see me.

As I pulled in to the camps drive I hit my door opener for the garage door to open. Some children of Hephaestus made it for those of us who could drive. As I got out I was greeted by an old friend

"Percy long time no see" Nico said as he locked up his jet black Corvette.

"Yea, it's been a long time" I told him.

"That little gift do you any good over the years?" he asked me

"No kiddin, it's safed my neck more than once, actually I've got towards I use both of them when a monster attacks" I told him with a laugh

See on my eighteenth birthday Nico had brought me an obsidian dagger about 18 inches long. It was forged in the forges of his dad's palace, the same place where Lord Hades's sword was forged. Then he made it similar to riptide it would change into a pocketknife I loved it, but I liked riptide a lot better. When I fought monsters now I wielded dual blades, that along with my invulnerability I was the shadow of death to monsters.

"So how's college been for you?" He asked

"Good actually graduated about a year ago, and work for a marine research team" I said

"Sweet" Nico replied with a grin

"What about you?" I asked

"Oh, I been in the underworld helping dad and all, plus when I need money he does have all the precious metals at his disposal" he said with a grin

"Yea lucky" I said laughing

We started walking towards camp and I seen all that I had missed. They had a new roll of cabins a better training arena. The dining hall had been expanded along with the campfire seating. I knew then who had designed it only one person could have in my eyes. Annabeth.

"How's Annabeth been" I asked

"She hasn't changed much she still hasn't dated anyone and still pissed the Hades of at you for doing, why did you break up with her any way?" He asked

I guess I stepped into that one "Long story short I did it for her" I answered.

"What" he asked

"Please man I don't want to go into it just leave it be" I answered a little harshly.

"Alright whatever you say" Nico responded

We reached the big house a few seconds later. We seen Chiron and Mr. D on the porch playing Pinochle.

"Percy, it's good to see you" Chiron said when we reached the steps.

"Yea you to Chiron, good morning Mr. D" I said

"Mornin Johnson" He replied

"So, Percy how have you been we haven't seen you in a while" Chiron asked me

"Pretty good" I answered

"So what's my schedule" I asked

"You have six classes a day and then whatever you wish to do" He told me

"Thanks, see you later" I told Chiron

I went and unpacked my things, then headed for the sword arena and my first class. It was going to be the Ares cabin and the Hermes Cabin. I thought about what I should do first with them.

"Okay guys my names Percy Jackson I'm the son of Poseidon and I'll be your new sword instructor so if the two cabin leaders will step forward please" I asked them

"What's up Percy you still a pain in the ass" Clarisse asked

"Only to stubborn children of Ares" I joked back

Over the years we had formed a good friendship her dad still hated me but I couldn't change that.

"Least I'm not a Seaweed Brain" she countered

"Fair Enough" I replied

"So for the second year and up start sparring with a partner, for the ones of you that this is your first year me and blockhead here are going to give you a demonstration" I told them

Clarisse and I began our match. She came at me like a whirl wind but I countered her. Then she lunged and as I went to dodge she yanked her blade to the side knocking me of balance then as I steadied myself she pulled one of the first tricks I'd ever learned and knocked my blade out of my hand.

She smiled and said "I win"

"Not so fast" I told her as she went in for the death blow(figuratively of course) that's when I pulled out my secret weapon my dagger shot to full length in my hand, and as she fell I rolled her over with my blade at her throat.

"Not today" I told her

As I helped her up she said "good move, I forgot about your dagger"

I was about to ask the class to analyze what happened when she walked into the arena, and when she saw me a murderous gleam went in to her eyes, and for the first time in a long time I was thankful that I was invincible. Because right now if I hadn't been I was going to be killed by my only love on earth Annabeth Chase.
