Hi! This is my first fanfic so all constructive criticism is welcome. Please no flames. By the way I DO NOT own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, that Rick Riodan's and he's a living genius!
Chapter 1
Percy Jackson
When I first meet Percy Jackson, I knew he was different. He was not like the usual people of our age he was way less mature.
That day camp Half-Blood was quiet. Not the peaceful silence either, this was flat-out strange eerie silence. I had just finished yet another successful lesson of archery when lightning around camp struck a nearby tree. I ran up Half-Blood hill to make sure Thalia's tree was okay. The tree was fine, but the tree next to it was far from fine.
At the fork of the tree, one branch was down into camp's borders while the other one was smoking and burnt crisp. I quickly ran down the hill bumping into Luke.
"Hey, hey Annabeth what's a matter. You can't just run down a hill that fast, you'll set it on fire!" he joked his dazzling blue eyes sparkling.
"Luke, I need to tell Chiron something, a tree near Thalia's is smoking and part of it fell into camp borders." I wheezed out.
"Oh," Luke's face turned serious. "You better hurry." he said.
I smiled at him and ran back to the Big House. I was about to tell Chiron about the smoking tree when Grover and a strange boy collapsed on the Big House porch.
"He's the one. He has to be." I told Chiron.
"Silence Annabeth, he's still conscious. Bring him inside." Chiron told me.
I was thinking about the prophecy that said that a new camper would finally take me on a quest.
Over the next few weeks, I slowly nurtured the strange boy back to health. I was worried about him, in his sleep he kept murmuring about strange gods, Grover, and something about his mother bullfighting. He was funny though, he slept with his mouth partly open and drool ran on his pillow making it hard to keep clean. When I fed him, he was messy spilling the neater and ambrosia all over himself. His sea green eyes sparkled when he was partly awake; they were also filled with sadness. Why would he be sad? I thought.
One day I was feeding him ambrosia when I suddenly thought. I should ask him about the lightning bolt! Maybe he knows something about it. I leaned in a little and said, "What will happen at the summer solstice?"
"WH-what?" he asked his voice cracking.
I looked around to make sure no one was listening.
"What's going on? What was stolen? We've only got a few weeks!" I asked.
"I'm sorry," he said "I don't…"
Someone knocked on the door. I quick stuffed pudding in his mouth. I went to open the door it was Argus the security guard person was there to take my spot watching the strange boy. I thanked him and ran out to find Grover. Grover knew this kid better than anyone so he would have to tell me something.
I finally found Grover in the strawberry fields playing his pipes. He slid to the ground to sit and I joined him.
"Grover you need to tell me something about that new guy! He is driving me crazy." I told him.
"Um… Well his name is Perseus Jackson, but Percy Jackson for short. He is a native New Yorker. He is your age in human years, twelve years old. He lived with his mom when he wasn't at Yancy Academy; well he did until she died…"
"How did she die Grover?" I ask trying my hardest to be gentle and not hurt his feelings.
"We were so close to camp I could smell the enchiladas. His mom was driving us here when suddenly the Minotaur hit the car. We all climbed out and ran up Half-Blood hill, the Minotaur close behind us. Now Percy's mom is a mortal you know, so she could not come into camp but Percy wanted her to. The Minotaur got her and squeezed the life right out of her; she exploded into a cloud of yellow dust. Percy got very angry and took on the Minotaur all by himself. He stabbed it with his own horn. I was so worried Percy was going to die. He can act so irrational when he is upset."
"Oh Grover," I said that's terrible.
"I know." he said sniffling.
Now I was determined that this Percy Jackson was the one of the prophecy.
Okay that was Chapter 1. What did you think? Please review! You will make my day if you do! Remember constructive criticism is good no flames though. PLEASE REVIEW! I will finish chapter two and continue the entire series if you do!
