A/N: This is my first real story so be nice please. I am revising it so this is the second copy. Before each revised chapter I will let you know if it was revised. This is the winter after "The Last Olympian. The Lost Hero doesn't exist.
Attention Middle School Girls, if you are in need a good book series to read I recommend the Red Blazer Girls, By Michael D. Beil. It's mystery with the complication of guys. First book Ring of Rocamadour.
Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians but I wish I did.
On to the story: The first few chapters are just getting to the main point.
Annabeth POV:
I walked home from school with my boyfriend Percy. When we got to the apartment, the only thing I said was, "Hey, I'm home and Percy's here, so don't bother us." We went straight to my bedroom.
Something you should know is that I'm not just any 16 year old girl, but I am a demigod. My mother is Athena, the goddess of wisdom, architecture and battle strategy. My dad is a mortal professor at West Point, and teaches American History. My dad married this woman and they had two sons, Bobby, and Mathew. She never liked me much, and tells me that I am dangerous. I felt un-loved and I ran away at seven. I met Luke and Thalia on the run, and we went to Camp Half-Blood. I might be smart, but like any other demigod I am dyslexic and I have ADHD. My Stepmom and I were on better terms, but this past summer I was made official architect for Mount Olympus. To be closer to Percy, Camp, and Olympus I came to live and go to school in Manhattan. I stayed with my friend Rachel, and we both go to Goode High with Percy. My dad missed me too much, that the family moved to Manhattan to be with me. My stepmom and I were back on the old terms. She treated me like her own personal Cinderella, and I ignored her as much as possible.
Anyway we Percy and I are going to Camp for Winter Week. Percy was helping me pack for camp. Winter Week is this new program Chiron has imputed for camp. It has been around for three years. The week of winter vacation, most of the campers are invited to come to camp for the week. The activities are similar to summer but the evening ones are a surprise. There is usually less training and more socializing. The program is only for high school aged campers. The week starts tomorrow night and goes until school resumes.
Percy POV:
We were talking about camp, when Dr. Chase knocked on the door. "Do you two have any tests tomorrow?" He asked us. I answered "Only Greek Mythology, which will require a trip to the empire state building and up to the 600th floor". He smiled at my small joke. He nodded and left the room. See, Greek Mythology is our life. I am also a demigod, a son of Poseidon.
Winter week is really awesome because no one, not even Annabeth knows the activities. It's during our Christmas break so many campers can make it. We leave tomorrow right after school. The best part is that Thalia, my cousin and Annabeth's best girl friend, is coming. She is a hunter and Artemis's lieutenant so she doesn't get to come to camp often. So her coming to Winter Week is really fun. She is also a daughter of Zeus.
Lucky for me my mom is engaged to Paul and he is nothing like Annabeth stepmom. He is really nice, and he cares for me like a real father. Before him, my mother married Gabe Ugliano. He was a slob, he treated my mother like property and he abused me when I was around.
Rachel's POV: next day
We had a pop quiz first period in Math. I'm a pretty good student but I don't think I'll get an A. it's on trig. I turned around and saw Percy put his hand on a damp paper towel, which was sitting on his desk. I gave him an awkward look.
Percy POV:
"What," I mouthed to Rachel, "water helps me think". Being a son of the sea god, water is like my life source. My thoughts are less jumbled, when I'm in water. Rachel just smiled, turned back and laughed.
Annabeth POV:
After that stupid math quiz we had our Greek test. The teacher passed out the tests. They were three pages long. 'So what' I thought to myself, 'I'll pass this and finish it in like seven minutes'. However this is the only class, besides, art, woodshop, and swim team (if counted) that I can easily pass.
Percy POV:
After the "ten minute" test I had swim practice. Of course I was captain. Annabeth came out of the locker room wearing a blue and green one-piece swim suit. I was wearing a matching one but guy trunks. The Stoll brother had Annabeth, and I, for secret Santa last year, their idea of a funny joke. We also have a matching pair that has a horse and chariot on it. It was our parents' only agreement before our dating occurred. On the swim team there is about thirteen students. We are the best in the region.
Annabeth's POV:
Finally school let out until after New Year's. Percy, Rachel and I got in to his car. Yes, after the whole Prius incident, Paul, still bought him his own car. Shocker. We stopped at all of our houses picked up our stuff. Then we drove to off camp.
When we got to camp, all of our friends were waiting to greet us at the border. Let's just say saving Olympus, and bringing the Oracle makes you kind of popular. Later that evening at dinner Chiron made an announcement. "Welcome to Winter Week. Instead of playing capture the flag tonight, we have a different activity", Chiron said. He looked over to the Apollo table. Will Solace their head councilor, went over to the head table. "Alright, tonight we will be having a Karaoke battle. But here's the challenge you have to write at least some of the lyrics yourself. The song can be an original or you can just re-do a song your own way. To see who goes first, we will draw a name out of a goblet, after diner", he said.
My first thoughts were if it's me what will I sing? Then I thought and I had the perfect song. I smiled to myself, I was ready to take on this battle when it came.
Percy POV:
What will I sing? I don't sing. Okay, except for maybe in the shower. I knew that what I wanted to sing will be embarrassing. Well I'll talk with Nico later and see what we can come up with.
Nico POV:
I have the perfect song but I'm way too embarrassed to sing it. I am the emo- gothic boy. I can't sing this. I'll never hear the end of it.
A/N:I hoped you liked it. Please review. This is the second version to the chapter. Please comment. Constructive criticism is welcome. The next few chapters will be about the beginning of Winter Week. The real story kicks in around chapter 6. If you have any questions please PM me. I want the story to be clear and enjoyable to all fans.
