The Invasion of The Monsters
Chapter 1
We finally arrived back at camp. The war was over, Kronos was gone, and we were safe. We just finished burning the shrouds of the demigods who had died during the war, so we weren't in the happiest mood. Annabeth seemed to be one of the most affected by everyone's death.
"All of them, t-they were so nice, t-they always helped me when I needed them I-" She choked out. She started sobbing into my shoulder. I comforted her the best I could.
"Its okay, they died brave, they died heros, they fought the best they could, I'm just glad your okay, I don't know what I would do if you were gone." I said. It didn't seem to help because she kept crying.
"Hey, listen" I said as I picked her head up and looked into her stormy grey eyes, "I love you and I always will, I just keep imagining you in the hotel, with your shoulder. I should've done something, I should've never let you take that knife, its all my fault, you knew, you were-"I rambled and I almost started crying.
"No, listen Percy, I love you too, I took it because if you did, you wouldn't be here and I can't live without you," she said and then she kissed me. I was shocked, but I didn't stop. I felt like I was in water, drifting off away. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever known, she was smart, funny, and just so, so amazing. I put my hands on her face and she smiled. And then I heard laughing. I opened my eyes. There was an air bubble around us, but we were under water. I lifted up my head.
"Aw look at you lovebirds, now I think we have a camp to rebuild Annabeth, but first lets go eat so stop kissing him" Conner Stoll said
"Don't listen to them," she said. I kissed her again. It felt like a million years. She was the best girl I could ever want; finally my growing crush on her was over, because she loved me back.
"Jackson! Stop kissing her and come on! Annabeth you can do so much better!" Clarisse screamed.
"Come on Wise Girl, let's go eat." I said.
"Okay" We climbed out and almost everyone in camp was there. I later found out that Conner was eavesdropping and told Clarisse to dump us in the lake while we were kissing.
As we were walking over there barley saw three people up at the hill. They were all about the same height, and about our age. I couldn't see anything else because it was dark.
"Hey Annabeth, do you know them?" I asked
"No, it can't be, they said they weren't coming this year, wh- Conner! Look, look!" she cried.
"Who are they?" I stood in front of her protectively but she pushed me out of the way. She ran up the hill crying her eyes out.
"Don't do anything stupid Wise Girl…" I said chasing after her.
"Oh my gosh I can't believe you're here! Why weren't you at the war? I asked Thalia and she said you were off somewhere else!" She cried as she ran up to them and hugged them. Suddenly I had a flashback of Annabeth and Thalia.
"Are they here?" Annabeth asked. This was just after the hunters showed up at the war.
"No" Thalia snapped, "They are not here, and I don't expect them to be here". That was it that was all I remembered. Maybe they were these three girls.
"Hey, uh, who are you?" I shyly asked. Normally I wouldn't be shy but these were Annabeth's friends and I didn't want to upset her.
"Who are you?" The one in the middle quickly snapped. She had long, blonde, wavy hair, not like Annabeth's more golden, like the sun. She also had really tan skin as if she stood in0 a beach for hours. She had sunglasses on her head, really big emerald-green eyes, and a bow at her side. Oh gods, they all three had bows. They also all looked exactly the same.
"Umm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, leader of the army in the war we won about twenty-four hours ago and her boyfriend, now who are you?"
"Di Immortals really, this is the Percy Jackson, son of the all mighty Poseidon, the chosen one! Nice job Annabeth, no one else was available for the dance?"
"I doubt you have a boyfriend"
"Oh really, actually he's right over there and I would very much like to go talk to him."
"How! You are a hunter! Didn't you swear off against boys or something?"
"We can all explain if we stop fighting," said the one on the right said "I'm Caroline, this is Carly, and that's Carter. We're the Yew sisters. We are the three daughters of Apollo and the Hunters of Artemis," she said
"So, where's Michel?" Carter said. Michel Yew. That must be their brother. No one has talked about him since he had died. Or what we think, he was Missing in Action. But no one could've survived the bridge collapsing. We just finished burning his shroud. It was yellowy-gold with a sun on it.
"Uh… well…A-Annabeth" I stuttered. How do you tell three girls that there brother is dead and he was killed only a day ago.
"Carter, Michel's dead." She said
