Chapter 1

(Percy POV)

"I didn't want to be a demigod"...

"Now that I look back on those words I spoke so long ago, I actually regret them. Now I'm not saying there aren't times that I don't particularly enjoy being a demigod such as when stronger, more sinister monsters attack camp half-blood or when Annabeth and I have to go to our quarterly meetings with our parents to help keep peace amongst all the gods. We are invited to the meetings as we are the senior demigods at camp and the most experienced given what we've been through. It's times like those that I truly wish I could be normal for just a little bit. Another example is... "Hey seaweed brain" Annabeth's words pulled me out of my whirlpool of thoughts and back to reality. I looked up. She was standing in the doorway of cabin three wearing a gray tank-top, a sexy pair of cut-off jeans and her signature I'm-smarter-than-you-and-we-both-know-it smirk. "What're you up to wise-girl?" I asked. "Oh.. not much" she sighed and smirked. It took me a little longer than I'd like to admit, but I finally pieced it together, the casual yet sexy clothing, the playful banter and what was that.. a new perfume? "You're wanting to get laid aren't you babe?" I grinned. She scoffed and rolled her eyes "Why don't you just announce it to the world?" She faked a scowl at me so I grabbed her arm, pulled her into my lap and started tickling and kissing her all over with tiny quick motions. "CUT IT OUT, CUT IT OUT!" She squealed with delight. "If you don't quit you're gonna make me wet myself!" I stopped, but I still held my arms around her and nuzzled her neck. "That'll have to hold you off for now baby, because we have to see Chiron in ohh.. 17 minutes."I said looking at my watch that Tyson had given me a few years back after I threw my old one (in shield form) at kampĂȘ. "What for?" She asked with a big HUMPH as she put on her sexiest pouty face. I told her "We have to go to Camp Jupiter, Reyna sent him an iris message saying you, Nico and I have to get there by noon." That brought her back to reality. Over the years Chiron has granted less and less quests due to them being so menial, so when we get a message from camp Jupiter saying we need to be there that day, well you can never truly know what to expect. "I'll go get Nico," she said "and you pack a couple bags for me and you. I'll have Nico pack his stuff and we can meet at the big house." She gave me a quick kiss and ran out the door leaving me to pack the bags and wonder what our friends at camp Jupiter might have in store for us.
