"Thwack" My arrow lands its target. I turn to the left and see all of my honey-blonde and gray-eyed siblings' arrows make contact with their targets. A regular day at camp just going through the motions day after day. I crave to go out into the real world to see how my skills work in action. As do all the other campers, but every since Luke got back from his quest gone sour, no more quests have been granted.

Luke, I thought, the blush rising to my cheeks. I refuse to admit I have a crush on him, he's like a big brother to me! He and Thalia were my only family when I was little.

"Annabeth," Malcolm's voice calls me back to reality. I look up from my thougths to see all of my cabin mates leaving for our next activity.

After campfire I go to the big house to speak with Chiron. The sky is especially dark and creepy tonight. I am going to try and convince him to give me a quest for what seems like the hundredth time, maybe I can even weasel some information out of him on what's happening.

As we speak I hear a moo. I can't imagine why, we don't have any near the camp for miles. Minutes later I hear a loud thud on the front porch.

Chiron (in wheelchair mode) and I rise and head towards the front porch.

Before he had completed passed out I caught a glimpse of his startling sea-green irises. "He's the one, he has to be," I said

And there was my first chapter ever. Please review! I hoped you like it.
