Percy woke up with a start; he was falling to his death. Well in his dream, he had been pushed off a cliff. It looked like the Grand Canyon with its dry sandy orange terrain and its depths reaching infinity.

He had been having this dream for a while, the same one over and over again. Why was he having this dream and who had pushed him off.

Never mind he thought; just a silly dream. The sun was making its way over the horizon, it was nearly morning. He decided to get up and have an early start.

Adam, Theo and Max we still fast asleep but stirred when Percy shut the door with a click.

He wasn't supposed to be out this early. It was nearly 6:00am and wake up wasn't till 7.

He had forgotten to wear shoes; his toes were starting to go numb as he walked across the frost covered field.

He stopped in his tracks, he felt lonely. He wondered if Annabeth was awake yet.

Her cabin was only twenty metres away and he could see a little flash of light out the corner of his eye.

She must be awake reading one of her many books. They were on summer holiday camp and she was reading. He thought of her as silly but put that thought out of his head quickly.

He got to the little window at the back of Annabeth's cabin and peered through the window. It was all fogged up; he drew a smiley face in the fog then rubbed it out to make a circle with his palm.

He tapped on the window lightly and Annabeth whirled around hoping it wasn't a camp counsellor.

Percy smiled at her and she gave him a disappointed smile in return.

"What the hell are you doing?" she mouthed at him.

Percy just smiled and put his thumbs up. He motioned with his hand for her to come outside with him.

She crossed he arms over her chest and shook her head. Percy knew what makes her laugh; he knelt down on his knee and pleaded.

Annabeth laughed silently; she didn't want to but she did and couldn't help herself. She put down her flashlight and her book and put on her grey knitted cardigan and headed for the door.

She opened it with precaution checking that no one was there. If they got caught she would be in big trouble. Percy was the trouble maker and she was the good girl. She hardly ever got into trouble.

She met Percy round the corner and they headed towards their secret cubby house. I know they were a bit too old to have a cubby house but this wasn't an ordinary cubby.

Their hands and fingers were laced together while they were running through the forest dodging trees and bushes.

Percy looked at Annabeth; the wind was messing up her beautiful blond hair and her smoky grey eyes were glistening in the morning sun.

He smiled thing how lucky he was to get a girl like her. She was simply beautiful.

They had arrived at the entrance of their little cubby and were puffing like hell. Annabeth was sporty and fun; she was a good runner. Unlike me Percy thought.

But... they were alone.

No one was here.

Percy grabbed the chance. He pulled her into his grasp. She squeaked in surprise.

"I love you..." He whispered.
"I love you too" She replied.

Then they kissed; Percy's hands around Annabeth's waist and her arms around his neck. It came as a surprise for Annabeth.

The first time is was just a peck. Then it was hugs. Now they actually kissed...
It was a nice feeling Annabeth thought; she really did love him.

The camp got ready for their morning chores. Adam, Theo and Max were scrubbing away at the dirt and grime in the toilets.

They all were wondering where the hell was Percy; it wasn't like him (as the cabin leader) to miss a day of chores.

Minutes had passed and they were nearly done with the toilets and starting on the showers when the bathroom door creaked open.

Percy popped his head around the door with a guilty grin on his face.

"It was about time you showed up" Theo said with his eyebrows rising up his forehead and his yellow gloved hands on his hips.

"Sorry... Camp business" Percy lied.
"It's okay" Adam said giving a glance at Theo that said 'don't be so mean'

Percy grabbed two rubber gloves and set to work on a shower cubicle. There were cobwebs everywhere and you could tell that this bathroom hadn't been cleaned for some time.

Percy winced as he threw his arm through the spider's work of art. Dozens of glistening strings were wrapped around his arm; and in the middle was a little black thing.

It was a spider.

Percy shrieked like a girl and jumped around in circles like a little bunny rabbit. He was shaking his arm vigorously.

You might not have guessed it but Percy was afraid of... Spiders.

Percy's cabin mates just stood there and laughed; the loudest they had laughed in days.

Finally the little bugger got off Percy's arm and fell to its death on the floor. Percy wondered if this was his karma setting in for being late.

Bathrooms had been cleaned, breakfast dishes had been washed and beds had been made; it was now free time.

I was nearly winter so the waterslide and pool was shut as it was nearly the end of cap for this year. Percy, Annabeth, Adam and Megan were meeting up by the strawberry patches on the outskirts of the forest.

Percy and Annabeth could hear the birds chirping as they walk down the hill; their hands entwined.

They got down to the patch to find Adam and Mean already down there. They were sitting next to each other; quite close actually.

"Hey" Percy yelled. He started acting like a maniac. He has his arms flapping from side to side, up and down. He was acting like a bird again. "Squawk, squawk" he sang.

Annabeth hung her head in shame as Adam and Megan joined in the fun; acting like birds too. 'God' she thought 'am I the only sane one on in this place?'

The maniacs had finally calmed down and were lying on the ground puffing.

"That - puff - was - puff - fun" Megan said between deep breaths.

Annabeth rolled her eyes and gave them all a smile. She had some great friends. She was friends with Megan. They shared the same cabin and were becoming kind of best friends.

Annabeth was deep in thought when a Cadbury chocolate bar smacked her in the forehead.

"Ouch." She exclaimed. "Who threw that?" she said in a deep voice with her hands on her hips.

Sitting diagonal from her Percy looked guilty again; he was definitely trying not to laugh.

"Sorry" he said "I have a really bad aim"

Annabeth knew his aim was perfect but he was messing with her.

Chiron sat at his desk; his note pad in front of him and a calculator on the side.

"How am I going to do this?" he said to himself "I can't shut this place down, it will destroy the kids"

He let out a big sigh and sat up from his chair. He walked over to his couch where he found his jacket. He was going to have to tell the camp at lunch. That was half an hour away; he fell down on the couch and waited.

Percy, Annabeth, Adam and Megan made their way up to the dining pavilion. A big building with great white pillars. It was the nicest building in this camp.

They found James sitting at a table by himself. They all decided to go and sit with him.

Percy slid next to him "Hey mate how's your first two day been?"

"Alright I guess" James said with a little shrug.

The four older kids gave each other glances saying 'he doesn't want to talk, don't bother him'

The bell finally rang for lunch and Chiron stepped out into the middle of the vast space.

He cleared his thoughts and his throat and began. "I have two announcements" his deep voice bellowed. "First, we are having nachos for lunch"

Smiles went round the room and children started whispering.

"Quiet please. Second this will be your last week at camp... ever"

So... I have left you with a bit of a cliffhanger (:

Please R&R

I would some some ideas and some constructive criticism.

I changed my name to as wasn't coming up in searches (I don't know why)

It is still me just a different name...

I am going away on holiday in two days so I might not be able to take my laptop. I will try to get some done before then but I might not happen - sorry. (:

Will keep you posted ~ Tori (:
