Chapter 1

For days I've been slashing my way through monsters. It gets pretty tiring after a while. But I needed to get Percy back to camp, Chiron told me it was a necessity, and who am I to question his authority, he is practically my dad. When he assigned this quest for me I was euphoric in other words, I mean aside from the fact that I would be able to see my friend Percy again (not that I missed him much or anything) I would also get another chance to live in the real world. Camp half blood is great and all don't get me wrong but I want to test my ability and what better way to do that than to practise out here?

What I didn't realise was how difficult it would be to get to him. I know what you're thinking he's one of the Big Three right? It's bound to be difficult to reach him. Even if he is, it doesn't make me any happier with having the ordeal of sleeping rough in the open for days and being on the receiving end of monsters wrath's.

I brought my Yankees cap my mother gave me which gives me the ability to turn invisible. My mother is Athena by the way which means she has the power to do that sort of stuff. It's actually been really handy for the past couple of years and I probably wouldn't swap this weapon for the world.

Anyways I did some research beforehand for this mission and wrote down Percy's address so I could get to him. Trust me I don't feel happy at the thought of practically being his stalker- even if he is kind of cute- stop it! I shake my head angrily, he's irritating. Sometimes I really do wonder how on earth we managed to become friends, what with my mother and his father being rivalries, but not only that I mean we hardly have anything in common. Sometimes I feel like strangling him. Though we did save each others lives multiple times I mean if you don't become friends with someone after that than clearly you have a problem.

I was standing on a rickety old fire escape and believe me the details of how I got there were painful enough, so I put my cap on not wanting to attract any curious bystanders and waited outside Percy's bedroom window. I tried calling out his name for a while then promptly realised that Percy was a very deep sleeper. I analysed him closely. He was tossing and turning in his sleep, moaning and talking. He does that a lot. That's one of the many ways I find out information from him, I couldn't hear what he was saying though. The window was too thick. His hair was messy, even more so than it normally was, then he sat bolt upright. I was guessing he was having a nightmare, I wonder if it was the same ones I'd been getting about camp. His eyes looked worried and frantic as if he had been running in his dream. I was so shocked at his sudden movement that I moved across the window to get out of his vision.

Coming from me this was a very stupid idea considering a) he couldn't see me and b) there was no where to go on this old fire escape so moving didn't change anything, but I was panicked O.K? I didn't expect him to wake up that abruptly. Immediately I saw his head snap in my direction, piercing me with his gaze. How did he do that? I knew I was invisible yet his green eyes had an unsettling effect on me, as if he could see through my invisibility and for the first time I got an inkling of how monsters felt before he attacked them. I promised myself from then on not to underestimate him.

Seaweed Brain was so unpredictable. When I first met him I got the impression of a slightly dopey, stubborn boy who asked annoying questions, but when I got to know him during our first quest I realised he was much smarter than I gave him credit for. Of course I wasn't going to tell him that. He would probably smile like an irritating troublemaker and pester me about it. Did I mention I find that smile annoying?

I heard a knock on his door and the faint voice of his mother calling to him about getting ready for school. Apparently as I heard his mum call him again, it was his last day of school. So Seaweed Brain actually managed to last a year? that's a surprise I smirked. He reached out from under his pillow case and gripped on his pen. Riptide.

I turned around quickly as he hastily got dressed and left his room in a cluttered mess. This fire escape didn't lead to the kitchen so there was no point of waiting in his room. I climbed down silently and made my way to the opposite building of his apartment, waiting for when he would leave. Even if I was invisible I wanted to keep my distance. With his ADHD he may just bump into me accidently, then my whole cover would be blown. No, I needed to talk to him alone. After a while of me waiting impatiently (I have ADHD), I caught Percy open his front door and step out into the open. It's surprising really how he managed to last a whole year without being attacked. Especially since he was one of the most powerful demi-gods, even if wasn't the brightest. Suddenly he turned his head once more to look at me and I quickly ducked behind the building and saw him shake his head trying to clear his thoughts. Then he hurried off towards his school.


Hey guys I might try and do the whole book from her point of view because it's really interesting so review if you like the idea and any comments or feedback would be much appreciated!
