Annabeth's POV
I woke up, where the hell am I? I rub the back of my head and wait for my vision to re-focus. Jeeze. Animal cage? The sides are metal, on my side are two buckets. One orange and one blue. Inside were another shirt and pant while the other one had a necklace. I took it out and look closer. It was shaped like an owl, whose are these? Might as well take them, who knows when I need another pair of clothes.
The cage I'm in starts moving. Shit shit shit. I start to bang on the sides, kick whatever my legs could reach. I guess this is how I die. I hope my parents- wait who are my parents? What kind of kid doesn't remember their parents? Where are they? Did they put me in here? I threw my head back as the cage pick up its speed.
Then it stops. I see light, the cage is opening. I see someone- a boy. The boy had messy jet-black hair and sea-green eyes. "Welcome to Camp Half-blood." He says, in seconds other people started to surround me.
The boy with the green eyes had held out his hand, I took it and stood up. "I'm Percy, and this is the maze. I figure you'll remember your name in a few matter of days-" My name. I remember it.
"It's Annabeth. Annabeth Chase." I interrupt him, his eyes widen a bit. "That's a pretty name." Percy said and ask if I wanted a tour around. I nod as he leads the way.
I heard whispers when we started walking away. "How did she remember her name so quickly?" The old man with grayish, white hair whispers to the other.
"She's different. Good different if I risk saying." He replies. I grin. I stayed because my instincts told me to. If it weren't for them I would've took off running. My name on the other hand, another instinct I guess.
"You okay?" Percy asks when we reach a cabin. The cabin door says 'Hermes'.
I nod. "Good. We can't afford for anyone to be sick with the disease around." I raise my eyebrow, "I'll explain later. But now, this is the Hermes cabin. You'll be staying here until Chiron and Dionysus find out what you're good at.
"Okay." He smiles and show me the other cabins and what they do.
So far, when the stars started coming out I learned that the Hermes cabin were where new-comers sleep.
The Hermes cabin isn't needed because the campers who use to live there now live in the runner's cabin. Runners are the only people who go into the maze. They map ways until they find where they could escape this hell hole. I met a few of the runners, apparently Percy's the lead runner, Luke was second in command, Travis and Conner (the Stolls) they're twin and seriously cocky. Other runners I saw but haven't met yet.
The Demeter cabin grew the food. Gardening, strawberry fields, agriculture, florist etc. Complete green-thumbs. Whatever they say they would always have to end it with a plant fact. I met Katie Gardner, leader of the Demeter cabin. She has beautiful brown hair with green eyes. Unlike Percy's they were more nature, leafs kind of green. Her boyfriend is one of the Stolls, Travis.
The Hades cabin were the ones who bury the 'bodies' which I most likely don't wanna talk about. They also have to 'take care' of the ones who caught the diseases. Percy didn't explain what he meant by 'disease' or what 'grievers' were. Back to the Hades, they were quiet and very scary. Nico, the leader of the Hades cabin is two years older than me. Not much I can say about them other then those things, they won't explain anything to me.
The Artemis cabin are protectors of the camp. They weren't awake even though it's alright noon so I know nothing about them yet. But the one with black hair and those blue highlights remind me of something.
The Apollo cabin were the healers. They create medicine for the sick ones and treat the wounded ones. When I enter the cabin it smelt of herbs. The cabin leader was named Will Solace. He had blonde hair with blues eyes about 6'0 in height.
The Athena cabin was fill with books. Their leader was Malcom, he had the same gray eyes as mine but a little bit darker with brown hair. When I open the door to that cabin he smiles at me. Like he knew me. They were the 'bookworms' of the camp. They know practically anything beside how to escape the maze.
There were more cabins but Percy didn't have enough time to show me. It was getting dark.
Percy tug on my wrist, "Let's go eat." I nod. "Okay. Can you explain to me everything you know tomorrow then? I hate not knowing what's going on." He grins and nods his head up and down.
After getting our food we sat down on logs and the ground. Then before I could even lift my spoon, the wind whisked and a loud 'BOOM' cracked in the air. I lean closer to Percy, "What was that?" He looks at me and smiles, "The doors close every night. Then the maze changes." He says simply and returns to eating his bread.
I kept staring at him. My eyebrows furrow together. Percy notices and sighs. "I promise I'll explain more tomorrow. Kay?" I nod.
The next morning, someone shake me awake.
"Annabeth. Get up, I'll explain to you now before I have to leave." The person whisper in my ear. I remember that voice, "Percy?" I rub my eyes and look up. There was the same sea-green eyes and that smirk on his face.
"Ugh. Fine, let's go." I let him lead the way to a forest. We stop at a pine-cone tree. "Where are we?" I ask. "Thalia's Pine." He says, that name reminds me of someone. Why couldn't I remember her or him?
"Why is it call Thalia's Pine?" He shrugs. "You ask alot of questions." Now it's my turn to shrug. "Well, you kinda told me to ask you anything yesterday." He sighs, "Thalia's Pine is my friend-Thalia-she's in the Artemis cabin. Has black hair, blue highlights, blue eyes. Anyways, she climbed on-top of this pine tree when she first came here. It took 3 days until finally she gave up and fell down." I smiled.
"I think I know her from somewhere, before I came here." He raise his eyebrow. "But i'm not sure." I add on.
"Sit." He points at the empty patch in the ground surrounded by grass. I sat down and crossed my legs. "So, ask me anything." I spill all my questions on him, most were answer but some were avoided.
We got up and started walking around. Then I saw, on the wall were names. Some were crossed out. I wonder why, I saw at-least 40 names on there.
Percy obviously notices, "Here. You have to write your name on here too." I stare at him for a minute then understood. I grab the knife and craved my name. I step back and look at my name, it was under Percy's I just realize.
"The names, that are cross out. They're old friends of mine. They either die from the maze, or just got infected." His voice was lower than normal, it cracked a bit when he said 'old friends'.
I nod and look up at the wall again. Names like 'Grover' and 'Jason' were crossed out. I wonder who they were but afraid of asking.
"Tell me about yourself." I blurted out. He stop in his tracks, "There's nothing much to tell." I stopped too and place my hand on his shoulder. "You can trust me." Percy tilted his head, "Can I really?" He push my hand off and walked away from me. "I have to get ready. Runners go out pretty soon." He mumbles.
Author's Note: I didn't have all the cabin like Aphrodite because this is a life or death plot and when someone in pink high-heels and make up that cover their entire face.. will.. lets just say it doesn't end well for them. (NO OFFENSE TO DREW. I LOVE HER AND PIPER ALOT!) I only put in the cabins that are needed for this story.
I also will kill off alot of characters that already die in PJo. In this story at the moment Luke, Lee Fletcher, Michael Yew, etc. are not dead yet... but if you review the ones that die in PJo I might save them in this story.
Also notice that the camp half-blood in the maze is the exact same camp in the story. The map with their beach, cabin, fighting area etc are placed the same. But i also added the pit -its like a jail-from the maze runner book. And the box so. yeah.
PLEASE REVIEW IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR TIPS ABOUT THE STORY. danks.
/MAJOR SPOILER ALERT FOR THIS STORY\\ Jason and Grover aren't actually dead... mwahahahahahahaha
