The only thing I need to tell you is read The Lost Hero, it will make everything easier to understand, but if you catch on quick, then maybe it won't matter.

Chapter 1: Annabeth
I sat on my bed, looking through pictures of Percy and me, some had Grover, but it was mostly me and him. I really missed him, I just wish that I could see him right now, I know that sounds all stupid and romantic, but when you feel the way I do about a person you would too. Around Piper, Leo, and Jason I acted all tuff and like I could handle anything, but inside I was breaking, piece by piece. I was breaking down into nothing, that sentimental feeling coming back for the third time tonight.
At least we knew his location, or at least where it might be. He was in the Roman Half-Blood Camp, he was traded for Jason. Hera was gambling for something and we all knew, even the gods knew that if we lost something really bad was going to happen.
The thing is that, Jason doesn't really remember anything from his past, well at least he didn't until him, Piper, and Leo went on a quest to save Hera. We discovered that he is the son of Zeus and that he is Thalia's actual brother, and not half. Zeus had had two children with the same women, which was very unusual for gods, but being that Zeus is married to Hera, it makes her hate Thalia, who is a huntress for Artemis, and Jason. But Hera doesn't really hate Jason; it's more of a very strong dislike.
Well anyway, they saved Hera, for now, but all we know is that Lupa, a wolf that Jason knows, is after Jason, for something.
I sighed mentally as I put the pictures back in my side table drawer. I closed my eyes and for one second I swear I had some peace of mind, but it was so rudely interrupted by someone touching my shoulder.
"Annabeth," I heard one of my half-sisters say to me. I opened my eyes slightly to reveal Beatrice, one of the older girls. "Are you okay?"
Was she really asking that? She's the daughter of stinking Athena! Goddess of wisdom! Hello! You'd think that she would have some brain as to tell her that I was definitely not okay!
"Yes," I lied smoothly. She nodded her head, in agreement to some sort of thing. Sometimes she would just agree to something that we didn't even talk about, isn't that weird? Well, being a demigod is pretty weird I guess. "I'm just really tired; I guess I just can't sleep. Tomorrow is a big day for me."
"Okay," she said and understood. We had talked about it many times and each time we did it hurt even more. We; Me, Jason, Leo, and Piper, are going to San Francisco to try and find the Roman Camp, and if we do, we're going to try and get Percy back. The only major problem with this whole thing is that Percy is probably just like Jason and he probably don't know where he is or who he is, which is going to make this even harder. "Goodnight then Anna."
I nodded and sighed as I climbed into my soft, warm bed. But it didn't feel soft and warm anymore. It felt so empty, probably because I was empty. Nothing felt the same after Percy disappeared, the Poseidon cabin was empty and so was his table. I missed battling him in the arena with all eyes on us and how once or twice between classes he would steal kisses.
I missed feeling his unbelievably soft lips against mine, and how perfectly they fit together. Like a piece to puzzle we have yet to figure out. Mine and Percy's relationship is never an easy one, for one or parents hate each other and that we can never have a normal date without being attacked by some sort of monster.
I smiled as I closed my eyes and I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep. Which was nice and peaceful and this was never a good sign. Not a good sign at all.
I woke to the sound of an alarm clock on my bedside table. I slammed my hand down on the clock and slowly arose out of my messed up sheets and blankets. Most of my brothers and sisters were still asleep. Talk about deep sleepers. Some stirred at the sound of the alarm, but others just snored and slept.
I grabbed a towel and some extra clean clothes as I entered the bathroom, smiling weakly at the sleeping figures. As I shut the door I saw one of my brothers, Jeffrey, roll over a little too far. I closed the door at that second, then I heard a thud and I stifled a laugh, because I heard a groan and Jeffrey curse.
I started my shower and got in and let the warm water take me in and refresh me. I knew that this would be my last shower in a few days so I washed my hair and body as best as I could before I heard the alarm for my shower time to be over. I turned it off and quickly wrapped the soft fuzzy towel around my skinny frail figure. I dried of my body and slipped on some new clothes.
Being in the Athena cabin we were all very wise about time and we were always, okay almost always, fair about time and stuff like that. We were civilized, unlike the Ares cabin. Their motto is if you get there first or if you punch someone for it; it's yours, which is pretty stupid considering that at least no one gets up until at least ten o'clock. So when they all do it turns into a huge fight for the bathroom. Oh such silly idiots.
I walked out of the shower and I put my dirty clothes in the hamper. I walked to my already packed bag at the end of my bed and picked it up hastily, almost ripping the fabric handle off. I said my quick goodbyes as I walked off toward the arena where I was supposed to meet Piper, Jason, and Leo with our transportation. Most likely it will be the bus toward Manhattan that would drop us off at the airport to take the flight to Los Angeles, California. We would have to walk the rest of the way to San Francisco, how that sucks, I know!
"Hey Annabeth," Leo cried as I made my way into the arena. Jason stood beside him, his lips forming a perfect straight line. His electric blue eyes shone bright in the early morning sun. Piper stood next to Jason, holding his hand her hand looked to be strangling his hand, like she was afraid that if she let go he would disappear. "Are you ready to go?"
I wasn't really sure if I was ready, but then I thought of Percy and seeing him again, even if he didn't remember me. It would be great to see his sea green eyes once again, and I had almost forgotten his voice. Oh his wonderful voice! Wait what? What is wrong with me? I am going absolutely crazy for I guy that I had barely even began dating.
"Yeah I guess," I said nervously, my voice cracking at the end. I was so nervous I felt dizzy, which was very unusual for me, even if I didn't feel good I never felt dizzy!
So many weird things are happening right now, I don't even know if this is real. Being me, I'm hoping to wake up any second and to find that Percy is outside my door waiting for me, but too bad for me. That was not to be and I either had to go do this or chicken out, or lose everything that is and was important to me.
Nope! I'm going to do this and find Percy and bring back his memory, even if I had to die doing it, which might very well be just the answer.
Okay so that's the first chapter and next chapter will be Annabeth's P.O.V too. Mostly it will be Annabeth's, but occasionally it will be Piper, Leo, or Jason, but whatever! So please if you liked it or hated it, please review and tell me! Review me on how you can't wait for the ACTUAL book to come out in fall 2011! I'm so excited.
Thanks for reading and please review!
XOXO Amcraw123!
