CHAPTER 1

It was dark. We were tired. Exhausted even, but none of that mattered. The only thing that mattered was the barks, howls, and the pounding of paws behind us, "A-Alex... I can't do this much longer..." I gasped to my not-so-identical twin sister.
She nodded once in response, panting too heavily to respond and we ran on again in silence, trying to shake the massive Hell Hounds off our trail.
We both had swords, given to us by our mother before she died in a house fire and left us by ourselves. But we did not have any idea how to use them in any way productive and it was quite a sight to watch us even try to wield them.
Suddenly an arrow whizzed past Alex's ear and I let out a small shriek.
There was a loud yelp behind us and one of the sets of heavy paw steps disappeared with a hiss.
We didn't even try to risk stopping running, especially now that we had the possible risk of new enemies.
A few more arrows and the paw steps abruptly disappeared.
Alex and I stopped running, too exhausted to keep going. I was almost blind with fear and a lack of sleep, but through the haze I saw many well built, well lit cabins that looked vaguely like a horse shoe, "Are you alright?!"
A males voice shook me out of my trance, "Yeah... We're fine." Alex said, almost defensively.
The boy gave her an odd look and backed away to leave us alone.
I glanced at the people surrounding us. There were only three, but even so I was uncomfortable and I could tell that Alex was also.
The boy Alex had spoken to was muscular and well built, but his face didn't match his body very well, the next was an older looking girl with curly blonde hair pulled up into a ponytail who smiled kindly at us, and the last was a boy with wild, dark brown hair and a face smudged with soot.
Finally I managed to ask, "Wh-who are you and where are we?..."
The older girl sounded very friendly, "I'm Annabeth Chase. This is Frank Zhang." She pointed to the muscular boy who nodded and smiled a bit, "And this is Leo Valdez." She pointed to the last boy.
He winked and smiled wide, "Don't fall in love too fast, ladies."
I blushed as I would if any boy said something like that and Alex rolled her eyes, looking sleepy.
The girl named Annabeth also rolled her eyes at the shorter boy and sighed, looking at the two of us, "So, how long?"
We both understood the question, but I let Alex answer, "We've been on the run for... About a year... Our mother died died in a house fire the day we ended up alone... We only knew we were demigods because she explained and gave us these before she died." She pulled out her sword which is almost identical to my own.
Annabeth's eyes shone, "Celestial gold... You're both in the right place." She turned and said in a cheerful voice, "Welcome to Camp Half-blood."


I hope you liked the the first chapter. X3 just to let you all know, this story won't follow the books really at all except character wise. It (obviously) takes place in the Hero's of Olympus series with Leo and Hazel and such but all 7 of them are at Camp Half-Blood. If you like, please review! :D
