Chapter 3:

Off to Camp Half Blood We Go.

……………………………….

So there we were just sitting in the car. Not saying a word. Mom didn't ask how Penny was, Penny just stared into space, and me? Well I just kept trying to get a conversation started but when no one 

seemed interested, I gave up. Talk about your awkward silence!

Just then a big pine tree came into view.

Wow! It's been that long? Why was the ride so short? I ask myself, but got no reply.

"So this is camp half blood huh?" Penny asked.



"don't let apearences fool you. This is the best place for us half bloods." I say.

"Just seems like another foster home to me. And when they get tired of me they'll kick me out." Penny said very depressingly. What did she mean by that? I ask myself.

I look at mom she had tears in her eyes but turned away. Like 

mother like daughter. I say with a knowing smile.

"Mom, I'm sure she's just stressed out right now. Nothing to worry about." I say trying to cheer my mom up.

But she wouldn't have any of it. She came up to me gave me a hug good bye and said "Tell her I'm sorry." And she left.

Has everyone gone all depressed or something? I ask 

myself for what seemed the billionth time that day.

All of a sudden a hear a loud yell coming from across the training field and see Annabeth running towards me.

When she finally comes to me she jumps and gives me the biggest hug ever. My stomach went into knots. My face was burning red hot, and my breath 

quickened when I felt her close to me.

Knock it off Percy come on don't let her see you like this! Besides like you got a chance with her she's in love with Luke for crying out loud! I gave myself a mental talk down.

But I wasn't listening, I wrap my arms around her waist and hug her back. When we finally pull apart she stars talking about 

how she was sorry she walked away like she did. Last summer.

(If any of you have read the 4th book you'll know what I'm talking about) But all I could see was how beautiful she looked just then. She had her long blond hair down which was very unlike her, and she had little blue owls on her ears a sign of Athena, aka 

Annabeths mom, who also hates my gut but so what.

She looked as if she were glowing with that big smile on her face.

"Hey, Annabeth I got to tell you something." Her face fell.

"It's not bad, well maybe it's not but you're not going to believe this… I have a twin sister! Her name is Penny!" I say real loud.



"Oh no!" Annabeth says in a loud whisper. "So it's true! This is very bad." And she runs away.

Leaving me to stand there wondering what she could have possibly meant by that.
