Chapter 1

Percy:

Camp Half-Blood is just a little farther up the hill and then I'll be at my favorite place in the world. I got up to the top of the hill and immediately started looking for Annabeth. She was down by the infirmary talking to a few other people from camp. She was holding her base ball cap of invisibility, as if she were just wearing it to show her friends how it works. I started to run toward her but I didn't want her to think I had missed her like there was no tomorrow, and immediately started walking. One of her friends pointed at me walking and Annabeth whirled around, put on her base ball cap of invisibility and suddenly she was next to me, she took off the cap and wrapped her arms all the way around my neck giving me the biggest hug I'd ever had in my life, then she sneaked a little peck on my cheek. I felt my cheeks flush; they must have been bright red because Annabeth seemed to notice. She laughed at my expression and hugged me again and asked me how my summer had been. I told her the truth it was long and my mom wouldn't let my go barely any where with out her or else Grover. But since Grover was on his mission looking for Pan since the day he got his searchers listens, I was with my mom almost 100% of the time, which doesn't bother me much because of how close I was to my mom. She just kept looking me strait in the eyes when I was talking so I knew she was listening to what I was saying. After I was done talking she grabbed my hand and we walked down the hill together. We went down to my cabin and put my suitcase and all of its contents away. We went down by the water, and there were canoes but the water, we grabbed one and started paddling off shore. We heard the many sounds of frogs singing and crickets chirping because of our timing, it was sunset. Annabeth smiled and started humming a song. I didn't know what song it was but it was very pretty. We stopped paddling and started talking and catching-up on what we did this summer. We heard the dinner bell and paddled to shore put the canoe away and found out that we had been out there for hours.

We rushed to dinner. This time I was invited over to Annabeths table. They said after dinner I could eat with them ever day if I wanted to. Then it was time for capture the flag! We all took off and I was by the river again waiting for the opponent to come. One kid then another and then three more came out of the woods. I took the first one down with one swing then the other and then they all retreated without ever having the others give any effort in fighting me. Then came every one on my team and then there was a flag floating in the air, and immediately I knew it was Annabeth. She ripped off her cap of invisibility and Ran to me. I picked her up and put her on my shoulders so every one could see that she was the one who had gotten the flag. The flag changed from a hog with spears over to a book and owl. She was smiling so big I though her face might be stuck like that forever. We all met at the area out side of the woods and the end of the game was clear to everyone, and so was who had won.

I went back to my cabin and lade in the bed that I hadn't since the end of summer. It wasn't till then that I started wondering if this year at camp, will there be any threats to my life, will someone try and kill me again, or will I be safe, not have to worry about this, and have a fun summer? Surly the last one was wrong and I'd have to face great dangers again.

Annabeth:

I had just been at camp for a short amount of time and started talking to some of my half brothers and sisters from my cabin and a few of our friends from last year, when one of them pointed behind me and told me to turn around, so I did. Percy was coming into camp! He started to move faster down the hill but then he slowed down and I threw on my cap of invisibility from my mother and ran right up to him, without thinking I whipped off my cap, wrapped my arms around his neck as hard and as much as I could and really quickly kissed him on the cheek. He blushed after word. I laughed and gave him another big hug. He told me about his summer a little bit. A kept looking into his nice eyes since I hadn't seen them in so long and wished I could tell him every thing that had happened right then and there. I grabbed his hand after he was done talking and we ran down the hill. He didn't notice but my half brothers and sisters and our friends were staring at us and either laughing or else smiling at how I reacted to seeing him or to how I got to him faster than anything in my life and I blushed a little and I remembered how I totally and completely dropped a conversation. Percy and I went down to his cabin and as I walked in I smelt the salty smell of the ocean. When Percy first entered the room he took a big breath of air. We unpacked some of his note books and he unpacked only some of his shirts, shorts, and other pants.

We went down by the water and I saw that some of the canoes were open and we grabbed one. Almost right after Percy and I started paddling Frogs started singing and crickets started chirping. It was starting to be sunset but I could tell there were still a few more hours until it was totally done setting. He smiled at me and I smiled back, then I started humming the song "Beautiful Day" by U2, and I could tell Percy didn't know what song it was so I just kept on humming. I told him about how my summer with my dad, step mom, and step brothers was. He told me about the cool stuff he did with his mom and how he was glad that smelly Gabe was no longer around to hold him and his mother back from going to places like the beach and to places like that. The dinner bell rang and me and Percy started heading toward shore and we put the canoe in the boat house.

I t was time for dinner and I asked every one of my half brothers and sisters if Percy could sit with us. They all agreed that he could and I told him to sit by me. We burned over usual part of our meal and ate the rest. Percy was over by the river and I put on my cap of invisibility and dashed over to the other side. Some one was hiding up in the tree by the flag under some leaves. I climbed up the tree quietly and sat on the branch on the opposite side of the tree. The person guarding the flag wasn't guarding it too good because he was sitting in front of it and not looking behind him. I swiped it when I was sure he wasn't looking and scurried down the tree. Then I noticed that the flag didn't turn invisible and that I would have to run fast and hide good to get to the other side. I ran past over twenty of the opponents players, and hid and slipped into other bushes to hide from about ten of the opponents players. Once I saw that my home base was only about 10 yards away I ran for it. The other team had known someone had taken the flag by now and my team saw me start to run and they all ran with me, I saw that Percy had held his post and once on home base, I ran to him and he picked me up and put me on his shoulders to everyone could see me and see the flag change from the war hog to the book and owl that represented my cabin. I smiled so big and proud because I had finally won the game Capture the Flag for my team. We all went out of the woods and declared who had won the game.

I went to my cabin and thought about my day and finally seeing Percy again. I wanted to go and talk to him but I couldn't since the sun had set a few hours ago before capture the flag had started and it was time for all campers to be in there cabins. Instead I thought of stuff I could tell him tomorrow morning at breakfast. Now I can't wait till morning.
