Disclaimer- I do not own PJO (well duh!). But don't worry; it's on my Christmas list! And now, Let The Story Begin!

Chapter One: Annabeth Has A Maniacal Grin

"Hold on, tell me again, what happened to Percy?"

"Annabeth," Chiron sighed. "We cannot do anything. Percy has been kidnapped by Kronos' army, and they have threatened to harm him if we do not surrender."

"But there has to be something we can do. Can't we have a quest or something?" Annabeth asked desperately.

"I am sorry, Annabeth. But we can't have a quest, for the risk that they might injure Percy. We cannot have him harmed, he is crucial to the fate of Olympus. He will be alright. Percy is clever. He will play for time."

"But-"

"Annabeth, consider what I have told you. The fate of Olympus is at stake. Don't act rashly. We will find a way out. We will get Percy back."

Annabeth turned. Chiron, thinking that she had finally given up, galloped away towards the archery range to check on some arguing campers. But Annabeth hadn't given up at all. She had a maniacal smile on her face. Anybody who knew Annabeth well knew that the only time Annabeth had a smile like that was when she had a plan…

Okay, so I made Annabeth's maniacal grin up, sue me (not literally!). Sorry for the short chapter, but I promise more in the next chapter. Please R & R. I want to know if I've done anything wrong with this. Plus, if I don't get 5 or more reviews, I'm not going to continue. Ha, ha, blackmail!
