Hey guys!

I changed my story cuz I didn't like it so I altered it hope you guys enjoy!

New plot is mine.

Chapter 1

Jason's POV

I smiled at Piper as we sat by the quiet lake of Camp Half-blood. Below the water, I could see the naiads giggling and waving at us as they sew their wicker baskets. It has been a month since the war with Gaia and now everything seemed perfectly normal. Well, as normal as life can be for a demigod.

"It's nice to be able to see Percy and Annabeth again," Piper was saying. "I hope Percy is doing well. Too bad Hazel and Frank can't come since Frank is too busy with Camp Jupiter. Maybe we can visit them one day though."

I nodded and we continued looking at the naiads giggling at us. "You ready for Capture the Flag tomorrow?" I asked, standing up and offering my hand. "We can't let Percy and Annabeth beat us."

Piper smiled and grabbed my hand, pulling herself up till she was face-to-face with me. "I'm prepared for anything," she whispered, coming closer till our noses were touching. "As long as it's with you."

The kiss we shared lasted for about ten seconds before the conch horn sounded, signaling us to get to the pavilion if we wanted our dinner. "C'mon," I said, pulling away from Piper and we walked to the pavilion, still holding hands.

Percy's POV

I grabbed Annabeth's hand and we dashed across a New York traffic light. It was just like I remembered it to be, the morning rush hour where people were always in a rush to go somewhere. For our case, we were going back to Camp Half-blood. I could not wait to see how everyone was doing back there. The van was there when we arrived, apologising to Argus for being late because of the traffic. Well, we actually set off a bit later than we planned because I couldn't find my favourite blue pajaymas. He didn't do much, just nod and started driving back to Camp Half-blood.

"I honestly can't wait to see everyone again," I told Annabeth for about the millionth time as I fiddled with my ballpoint pen, Riptide.

Annabeth laughed. "You should calm down Percy just be patient," she answered.

After for what seemed like forever, we arrived outside Half-blood Hill. I leaped out and threw my hands around the first camper I saw.

"PERCY JACKSON!" Clarisse roared, pulling herself away from me. I blushed scarlet red.

"Sorry Clarisse," I swallowed, eyeing her electric spear.

She narrowed her eyes.

"Because you saved our camp, I won't. But if you ever do that again…"

"Sure okay." I ran towards Grover before Clarisse could change her mind. "Hey Grover!" I hugged him with one hand and high-fived the campers behind him with my other hand. "Hey guys!"

"Percy!" I looked over the heads of the crowd and saw Chiron galloping towards us. "You made it." He sounded relieved.

I smiled back as other campers piled up. Did the amount of campers doubled since I've been here? I glanced at Annabeth and saw that she was hugging Piper as well as high-fiving her siblings in the Athena cabin. I could tell this was going to be a long morning.

*After everyone got used to Annabeth and Percy arriving at camp*

We walked hand-in-hand towards the lake. Piper and Jason were already there, holding hands. We crept up behind them and made them jump.

"Percy!" Piper laughed and slapped my arm. Annabeth laughed at Jason's expression.

"How are you guys doing?" Jason asked brushing his pants. "I hope Percy isn't flunking grades, as usual."

Annabeth laughed. "He's doing fine," she replied, wrapping her arm around me. "He'd be a goner without me though."

We laughed at this. Then Annabeth started rambling about her architecture grades and how she was chosen to design this building, blah blah blah. She told me this sort of thing a few thousand times already anyway. I slipped away while they were still in the middle of Annabeth's lecture.

I walked into the woods. If I was going to beat the other team tonight at Capture the Flag, I had to at least familiarize with the woods. The woods were the same as before and I climbed on Zeus's Fist, enjoying the gentle breeze around me. Then I hopped down and I was about to walk back to the camp when a glint of Celestial bronze caught my eye. I looked up in time to see an arrow disappear into a part of the woods not far from me. At the same time I heard the rustling of bushes. I whipped my head around to see something zooming through the trees.

Or someone.

The thing I saw looked like he was wearing ragged clothes.

One thing I knew though: the person wasn't from the camp. There was no one who could go so fast and besides, the arrow came from the beach at the far end of the woods. No camper would go there.

Unless it was an intruder…

I started running towards the spot where the arrow had fallen.

Sorry for cliffhanger hehe. Please review if it's any good. Give your personal responses! Hope that I can hear from you guys.
