Town Half-Blood - Chapter One

Two teenagers were out camping in a green forest filled with beautiful colourful plants. The sun was glimmering in the cloudless blue sky. It was a lively forest, with birds singing and rabbits hoping. The teenagers, boy and girl were happily laughing and joking around. They wish.

Here's what really happened. They were in a dark forest filled of pine, camping in the middle of the woods. The moon was covered by some gray clouds and it looked like it was about to rain. There were fruits in the forest, yes, but there wasn't much. Some of the fruits and berries were poisonous. There were owls and rats scattering about. Crows were hovering above their heads. The two teenagers were not laughing and joking around. In fact, they were doing the exact opposite.

"I can't believe you ate the last marshmallow!" Annabeth growled.

"I was hungry!" Percy protested.

"Well what about me? Didn't you think that I'd be hungry, too?" she hissed.

Percy was about to open his mouth to speak, but Annabeth had cut him off. "I'm a girl. You're supposed to let the girl eat. You know what? I was right all along! Princes were selfish and greedy." Annabeth turned away from him, crossing her arms against her chest with steam coming out of her ears.

Percy's expression turned from anger to worried. Annabeth was his first friend and he didn't want to lose her because of a lame fight on marshmallows. Then again, that was the last of their food supply. They could die out here from starvation. Percy tried to say sorry, but Annabeth wouldn't listen to him.

"Anna–," he started.

"I don't want to hear it, Jackson. Just leave me alone," she slumped.

Last names. Percy knew that she was really furious about this. Percy turned around to give her some personal space, but he bumped into something. Or rather, someone.

Annabeth POV

I can't believe the nerve of him! The pig ate everything. I know I'm exaggerating, but he did eat almost everything. I can't believe he has such a big appetite!

I had just finished another huge argument with Percy. There's no way I'm going to look at him for the next four hours.

"Ow!" Percy yelped.

I failed. The moment I heard Percy fall onto the ground, I turned around, by instinct, to check if he was alright. Percy was sprawled onto the ground, rubbing his forehead.

In front of Percy stood a girl who should be around my age, and held a shield that made me flinch. Her shield had the face of Medusa in the middle. It's pretty scary. The girl had dark black hair like Percy's and electric blue eyes. Her hair was short and spiky. She wore a "Death to Barbie" T-Shirt and a silver circlet around her head.

"Who are you?" I asked, resisting the urge to run over to Percy's side. I just had an argument with him. There's no way I'm going to make myself look like I was going to forgive him.

"Thalia Grace," she says. She said her surname distastefully. "And who might you be?"

"Annabeth Chase," I said cautiously.

"Nice to meet you, Anna. Tell your boyfriend here to watch where he's going next time."

"He's not my boyfriend," I scoffed. There's no way I'd be with someone as self-centered as he was.

"Don't like him, huh?" Thalia says thoughtfully.

I just scowled at Percy in response.

"Why don't you join the Hunters then?" Thalia says happily. "I'm the lieutenant of Artemis."

"Hunters?" I questioned. "As in Artemis' Hunters?"

Thalia nodded. "You get to stay immortal and young for the rest of your life! It's pretty great!"

"Wait, but I remember that there's some sort of catch to become a Hunter…" I faltered, racking my brain to figure out what it was.

"Yeah, you have to swear off boys," the girl shrugged.

I shuffled my feet a bit. I wasn't very comfortable with that. I couldn't tell why though.

"You're a half-blood?" she wondered.

"Yeah," I replied softly. "Percy too…" I looked over at his direction, but he was gone.

"You mean that klutz who bumped into my shield? That guy ran over there," she says, pointing at a narrow path in the woods.

Truthfully, I was worried. I wanted to go after him, but at the same time I was still angry. My pride won over and I thought I should chat with Thalia for a while. Who knows? Maybe she could become my friend too. Too. Was Percy still my friend? Or what if he wasn't anymore? What if he left because he didn't want to come back?

"So, who's your parent?" Thalia asked me, snapping me out of my trance.

"Athena," I answered proudly.

Thalia grinned. "Mine's Zeus."

"The god of gods?" I gasped.

Thalia nodded proudly. "So what about that boy? A minor god's?" she laughed.

I frowned. I didn't like the way she talked about Percy, but she's a hunter and swore off boys. She probably hates them. What can she do? "No, actually. He's the son of Poseidon."

Thalia gaped at me, and then laughed so hard that she was rolling around the dirt. "You're joking!" she laughed. "There's no way that he could be Poseidon's son! Children of the big three were never even aloud to exist in this world! The three biggest gods formed a pact to never have children anyways!"

I gave a strange look at Thalia. "But you said you're a child of Zeus."

Thalia stopped laughing. She nodded her head solemnly. "I'm a mistake," she wrinkled her nose.

"So Percy was too?" I mumbled to myself.

"Wait, you're serious about Percy being the son of Poseidon?" Thalia raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. His mom told me. I had to explain to him about gods and stuff about three days ago. I still don't know much," I admitted. "He took it pretty calmly. Well, except for the part where he kept shouting that gods were just myths."

To my surprise, Thalia laughed harder than before. "That klutz was my cousin?" She continued to laugh for about a few more minutes until she calmed down. "How do you put up with him?"

"I don't know. I just do," I shrugged.

"You like him," she stated. It wasn't even a question.

"I don't. Well… before I kind of did. Kind of. After a few days of camping with that Idiot, it's hard to get him to stop whining and complaining. He's a stupid, idiotic, sarcastic, and a big-headed kvetcher."

"Ketchup?" Thalia asked, looking very confused.

I sighed. "Kvetcher. Someone who complains a lot."

Thalia started to laugh again. "A son of Poseidon complains?" It took an extra four more minutes to her to stop laughing. It's getting kind of aggravating now.

"No wonder he's left over there. That path leads to a river. He probably went to take a bath or something. There's a place for demigods nearby. Well, sort of nearby. It's about a six hour walk," she says.

"That doesn't sound so bad. Maybe we could visit," I decided.

"Might want to look for Percy first," Thalia suggested.

I blushed, "You said he could be taking a bath though."

"Oh right. Then we'll wait 'till he comes back."

We sat down and talked about each other for a while. I also talked about the fight Percy and I just had. I left out the part of Percy being a prince and all. It's his secret to tell, not mine. Anyways, Percy's been gone for over thirty minutes now. So I'm currently in panic mode.

"What if he hates me?" I said, painfully. "What if he doesn't want to see my face again?"

"Hey, it was just a little lover's quarrel. He'll come back in no time," Thalia reassured.

I shot an icy glare at her, and then went back to being worried.

"Oh come on. It's not that bad. Well, if it is, you can always come and join the Hunters!" she says enthusiastically.

"That's not exactly helping," I grumbled.

I was pretty quiet for a while. That is, until we heard the sound of rustling bushes. We turned to face whatever it was. It could be a monster for all we know.

To my relief, it was Percy. He stared at us with a blank expression, blinking his eyes at us. "What? Is there something on my face?" he wondered.

I shook my head, resisting another urge to run over to him. I realized Percy was holding something that was…alive, kind of. He held three fishes, flopping about in his arms. They were pretty big too. They looked more like trout to be exact.

"Is that fish?" Thalia asked credulously.

"Unless you're blind, yes they are fish," Percy says smoothly.

"So you went fishing?" I asked.

Percy nodded just when Thalia says, "But you're the son of Poseidon, right? What're going to do with those fish? Eat them?"

"Annabeth was hungry. So I thought I could roast some fish. Plus, they were getting on my nerves," Percy muttered the last part.

"He's nice," Thalia whispered to me with a smirk. Heat crept up to my face. "I thought you said he was selfish?"

I just shrugged at her in reply, trying to cover my blush. I just can't believe Percy would go through all that trouble to get me something to eat. Or maybe it was his way of apologizing for earlier.

"Should I start the fire?" Percy asked.

"It is fine, my cousin. I've got it covered," Thalia rubbed her hands. All of a sudden it smelled like ozone. Thalia pointed over at the pile of sticks and zapped it with lightning, and a fire instantly appeared.

"Cousin?" Percy asked confused.

"Thalia, Daughter of Zeus, at your service," Thalia smirked at him.

"I think my dad's cooler," Percy muttered.

"Who uses the word 'cool' anymore?" Thalia snorted.

"I do," Percy shot back at her.

"Well then. I guess that makes you 'uncool'," she says, using air quotes.

"Whatever," Percy glowered at her.

We roasted our fish by the fire and ate them up quickly.

"So you said something about a place for half-bloods?" I asked Thalia.

"That's right, Anna," Thalia nodded her head.

"What place?" Percy said thoughtfully.

"It's just a small town. We Hunters don't go there much. We like to spend time hunting, obviously. Anyways, the place's called Town Half-Blood," she answered.

Hey, hey, hey!
