REVIEW.

All around, the sounds of the blades and swords clashing with each other, the people screaming in pain, the

shrieks of people screaming for help could be heard. It was chaotic. I was fighting hard. I also started to think. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't believe I agreed to become a pirate. Was I crazy? I, Annabeth Chase, princess of Greece, a pirate? I must be dreaming.

"Annabeth, WATCH OUT!" Someone screamed. I turned around. Another attacker was behind me. Oh shoot. His dagger connected with mine. I fought hard to disarm him. Just the opposite. My sword fell to the floor. I ran to get it, tripping over someone's body. I rushed to get up but he stood over me. The impact of me falling to the ground made my head ache.

"Say bye bye, girlie." He raised his dagger. I closed my eyes, getting ready for the pain of the dagger.

"Oh shoo-" I looked up, the attacker was pushed to the ground by another person. I looked up, it was Percy. He held out his hand.

"Better get up, Princess. You don't want anyone else to hurt you, well if there was anyone else to kill. You did well." I looked around. The ship was full of dead people and bodies lying around.

"That's it?"

"Why, do you want a longer battle?" I shook my head. "Annabeth, I think it's time I introduce you to the crew. They are going to be your new... 'buddies'. He led me inside a small room with about 6 people inside, all sweating and drinking water. "Hey guys." Some waved. Others said 'hey' back.

"Who's the girl, Perce?" A tall, lean guy with long, curly hair and elfish features asked.

"Everyone, this is Annabeth, she is going to be one of us now."

"Wait a minute, Annabeth, as in Princess Annabeth?" A girl with brown choppy hair asked. Her eyes changed colors, making them look like a kaleidoscope.

"Yes, Piper. She is Princess Annabeth. Problem?"

"Um, no, but she's the goddamn princess, Percy."

"Is there a problem with that?" I asked her.

"n-no, your majesty."

"Please, call me Annabeth."

"Sorry, Annabeth."

"Okay, now Annabeth, this is Piper." He said, pointing to the girl with the kaleidoscope eyes. "Hazel." He pointed to another girl with brown, curly hair. "Frank." He was a buff guy with a 'baby' face. "Leo." He gestured towards the 'elf' guy. "Jason." he was a blonde haired guy with blue eyes. "Thalia." He introduced me to a girl with black hair and electric blue eyes. " And Charles, but everyone calls him Beckendorf, it's his last name" he pointed to another buff looking guy.

"Um, h-hi." I waved.

"you don't have to be afraid, we're not going to eat you." Jason said. "I am Percy's assistant captain." He put his hand out for me to shake. I shook it.

"Nice to meet you." I replied.

"You too." I told him.

"Annabeth, you know, you shouldn't be afraid. We're your new family now, well, your 2nd family at least." Hazel told me sincerely.

"Thanks Hazel, I appreciate it." I smiled.

"Well, I'm hurt. I think I belong to your first family." I turned around, towards where I heard the voice. It sounded familiar. I couldn't believe it.

It was Leila.

"LEILA!" I ran towards her and attacked her with a bear hug.

"Annie!"

"You're a pirate?"

"Well, no."

"Then, why are you here?"

"Well, Annabeth, you were 'rescued' because of me."

"If you're not a pirate, then why would they listen to you?"

"Because."

"Because what?"

"Because you were rescued by Percy."

"Is Percy your boyfriend or something?!"

"EW NO!"

"Then why?"

"Because Percy is my brother."

"Your WHAT?!"

"Annie, are you listening?" I told you, he's my-"

"Yeah. I heard you! But. What. How. When. Why."

"Because we have the same parents? The day he was born? Seriously, I thought you were smart."

"Yeah, sorry. Just a bit frazzled."

"Pull yourself together, Annabeth. We're in trouble."

"Trouble? What kind of trouble?"

"It's Luke. He's-"

"He's what?"

"Annabeth, I know you're excited but please stop interrupting."

"Right, sorry. Continue."

"Luke, he's using you.

"Of course not! I've known him for years!"

"Yet, you still don't know his middle name."

"Well, that doesn't matter."

"Doesn't it?"

"Then what is Luke doing?"

"Luke is," she took a deep breath. "Luke is destroying your kingdom. He- killed your parents."

I'm so sorry for the length of this chapter because it is so short! I will make the next ones longer, I promise! It's only about 700+ words and I apologize because of the shortness. I was actually supposed to end it in the line 'It was Leila.' But then it would only be 500+ words and that would be way too short! Special thanks to my reviewers!
