AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Sorry for the long wait! I decided to rewrite the first chapter in a more lighthearted tone. I have much of this story planned out already...aside from a few parts. I am leaving the first chapter I wrote up, in case you like it better. If you like this one better, review and say so, and I will take the darker one down. In later chapters you will find out my intention for this story :D Don't worry, I like the Percy x Annabeth pairing.

I do not own PJ or HOO, so..yeah! Have fun reading, and review!

Percy woke up by a gurgling river, on his face. He got up and looked around. Where am I? He tried to remember, but his mind felt blank. He looked down. He was wearing a pair of ripped, baggy jeans and a plaid shirt. He reached into his pockets. A pen? How strange. He clicked it. Whoosh! Percy jumped back as a giant gold blade nearly sliced his dark black hair off. Just then a group of campers ran into the clearing. One, that looked around 8, ran right up o Percy. "Can I hold it?" he asked, while mesmerized by the blade. He had red hair and dark blue eyes. A Brunette ran up and grabbed his arm. "Sorry, this is Timmy, son of Vulcan". As she led him away, Percy said " Hephaestus", without even knowing it. He looked at the ground as it grew quiet. He had a feeling he would be looking at the ground a lot, at least in the coming weeks. He could feel their stares burning holes into his back. "Umm…hi?" He said unsurely. After a moment, he heard a loud noise. "Out of our way!" Three mean looking kids stalked up to him.

"Who are you?" the Blonde one asked, sword at Percy's throat.

"I'm not sure"

The Brunette that had taken Timmy away spoke up. "He made it inside the borders, so he must be one of us. Give him a break, Fred. Put him in the unclaimed, and let's see what happens"

Fred sighed, then strapped his sword back to his side. "Ok then. You're the head counselor, now, Lea, so whatever you want". He rolled his eyes, then walked away, the two other guys following him, out of the little clearing where Percy was still standing aimlessly. "Come on…What did you say your name was?" Lea inquired.

"Percy"

"Ok then, Percy, follow me". And with that, everyone followed a trail around some tall Redwoods and into a camp of sorts. A bunch of grey stone buildings stood clustered around a central courtyard, facing a fountain with a howling wolf on top. Outside of that were open fields bordered by more Redwoods, and what looked to be a few sheds, a circular track, and covered dining area. Far to his right he also noticed a small arena, and a stable. Closer to the cluster of buildings was a grey stone bathroom with a wooden roof. He could hear the ocean not far off, and he liked the sound. It was comforting to him.

"Done looking?" Lea asked.

"Sure"

"Ok then, follow me over here, and we'll…" She was then interrupted buy someone shouting in the forest "We have another monster! Lea!"

"Be right back, Percy" she shouted over her shoulder as she ran towards the woods.

Percy was alone no more than a few seconds than a muscular black haired boy, who Percy recognized had been with Fred, had walked out of the bathroom, plunger in hand, smirking. "Here you go, newbie! The toilet in stall two is clogged. Better fix it!" "Uh…sure?" Percy half asked/half told. He figured it would be best to stay out of trouble for a while, at least until he figured out where he was…who he was. So, plunger in hand, he strode into the boy's bathroom. The big stone stalls face the doorway, which was open. Out the door he could see a buzz of activity, and a cabin with an owl on the roof. Since they all faced a central courtyard, he could only see the back window. It has beds! Well, barely, he thought. The beds were covered with papers and books. It looked so familiar…he cringed. His mind was empty. "Hey, newbie! Get that toilet cleared, pronto!" With the yelling of the Black-haired one, he snapped out of it, and walked into the stall. He started plunging as soon as the guy walked away. Sclurge,scluge,sclurge. This is so nasty, he thought. After plunging for a little while longer, he wasn't making progress. Why won't it get unclogged? He was mad now. Mad at the stupid toilet, at whoever took his memories. Suddenly, mid-plunge, the water drained into the toilet stuck the plunger to the bottom of it. Percy tired to pull it out, but it wouldn't come. Then he realized he had been holding his breath the whole time. Exasperated, he let out a groan and kicked the porcelain devil. FOOM! Water suddenly burst out of the toilet, rocketing the plunger stick-end first out the open doors and into that cabin he was looking at, the one with the owl. It shattered half the glass, but remained stuck in the window. Everyone stopped what they were doing as Percy ran outside. The whole bathroom was flooded, but he remained dry. "Whoops…"he said quietly, again looked at the ground. Lea came walking up, grinning, and said "I guess we know what cabin you belong to now!".

"What?"

" You are half human, half God…didn't I mention that?"

" Umm, I think you left that part out. So who am I?"

"Son of Neptune" she said.

"Poseidon", he corrected

"Ok, sure, whatever you want to call him", she said, eyeing him strangely.

Several grey-eyed campers that had had been glaring at him glared at him some more, and the sky rumbled. One camper walked over and patted him on the back. "That Minerva cabin was getting too full of themselves anyway".

It was pretty intense. Some campers bowed their heads. But that moment was ruined when the lunch bell rang and everyone started walking up to the dining area he had seen earlier. Percy followed the other campers to the pavilion, wondering what would happen next…
