A/N: Sooo, I'm sorry this took a bit. I have been busy with school and sports. I haven't had time to write and I got stuck.. So tell me what you think! Read and Review please.. :)
*Percy POV*
I sped down to the sword arena with the other three behind me trying to catch. I heard Thalia mutter, 'you would think since he just woke up he would be slow not as fast as a stinking tree nymph!' I couldn't help but laugh. I ran into the arena and everyone got quiet. Waiting to see what was going to happen.
"So, just to warn you," Mike said
"We will not be going easy," David continued
"And there will be no power using just swords" Mike
"Because we don't want a remake of these past few days" David
"And that we are glad to finally have you back!" They both said and I rolled my eyes at the in sync thing. They could be twins!
"Well, I will still win anyways." Is all I said and they charged. After about two minutes I had Mike which was strange because it was normally David out first. David stopped and stared at Mike, I guess he was thinking the same thing I was, and I used this to my advantage I went in and twisted the blade around his sword and disarmed him and pointed the point at his unarmed chest.
"That wasn't fair little bro." He said crossing his arms.
"You were the one that got distracted so it was fair." I did the mature thing for a seven year old, I stuck my tongue out. And he did the mature thing for a fifteen year old, he laughed at me. Everyone cheered and I bowed and got a few chuckles. I looked up at the new three and they were all looking at me with wide eyes and mouths open.
"How long have you been here?" Luke asked as they walked up to me. I had to think for a second.
"Since I was four so, five, six, seven, this is my third year." I said and lifted up my camp necklace and showed them the beads. They nodded and I could hear some people stifling laughs in the back.
"You would think since Annie there was a daughter of Athena she would have figured it out." I heard and knew who it was. I turned and glared and people backed away. I have really good hearing and Mike and David like to say it is hearing like a horse. I normally tell them to shut up. I have also been told my glares are scary even for a seven year old. I think Annabeth heard too because she had a tear going down her face. I knew she would stick up for herself but she's new and she isn't used to the camp yet. I give her a couple days before she decks Aaron in the leg with her knife. I looked straight at Aaron and he had a smirk on his face. I couldn't stand him at all.
"Go away Aaron, she is smart but she's new here. She is just trying to figure everything out. From what I have heard Athena kids brains work fast, unlike yours that most likely works like a slug." I said and before he could do anything an iris message appeared and look who it is, it was Ares. Yay.. Even for a seven year old I have great sarcasm.
"Chiron, I have a daughter coming either today or tomorrow. Most likely today though. Her mom can't handle the monsters no more and Clarisse is turning eight next month. Make sure no one treats her bad." He threatened and before Chiron could answer Ares cut off the message.
"Well, it seems we will be getting a new Ares camper soon, Ares cabin, go get a bunk ready for her." He said and they left we Aaron giving me a glare that I gave straight back.
I turned back around and saw Annabeth wipe the tear away quickly.
"I could have handled that, but thanks anyway." She said without looking at me. I stared at her for a second and I could feel Mike and David looking at me.
"What are you thinking about little dude?" Mike asked.
"You know how Chiron thinks my 'fatal flaw' is loyalty?" I asked and they nodded. "I think I know Annabeth's."
"How, you haven't even known her fully for even a day." David asked and stared at me.
"It's by what she said. She even knows she wouldn't have been able to take them yet. She's new. She's yet to learn his weakness, she hasn't been around him long and she still said she could take him. Her flaw is pride or whatever smart people call it." I said. I wasn't for sure the other word.
"Hubris." I heard Annabeth mutter.
"Yeah that!" I said with a smile and she rolled her eyes.
"You are such a Seaweed Brain. You know that?" She asked and I looked at her.
"Fine⦠Wise Girl." I said and she looked at me.
"That's all you got? Really?" She asked and I just shrugged.
It was after dinner now and we were all going down to the campfire. I started to walk after Mike and David who were waiting at the edge of the dining area when I heard my name and I turned. I saw Annabeth running towards me.
"Do you mind if I sit with you?" She asked and I smiled.
"Sure, come on. I always sit with Mike and David since my first day here. You can sit with us." I said and led her over to them. They looked at us with grins that could rival a Hermes kid. "What?"
"Nothing," They said at the same time but still with that smile.
"Well, Annabeth is going to sit with us. Is that ok?" I asked and the smile got wider. I didn't even know that was possible.
"Of course little man." They said and we headed to our normal seats which for some reason had been taken by Ares kids. I looked and didn't see any new ones so she must be coming tomorrow. Hopefully she isn't like her siblings in the way of not liking me. But if she is like her dad then she'll not like me anyway.
"What are you doing in our seats? You all always sit over there." Mike asked with a glare and put a hand on both Annabeth and I's, shoulders.
"We don't have assigned seats here so we can sit here if we like." Aaron said with a smirk and all the other Ares kids laughed. Mike was about to lunge but David held him back.
"Come on man, we'll just sit over there." David said and started to drag him over to the farthest bench.
"Little Annie can stay over here though. She can learn who the right people to hang out with and we have young ones she can 'like'." He said and I couldn't stand it. I grabbed riptide and pointed it at him. It got him to be quiet and sadly everyone else.
"I may only be seven, and you may be bigger than me, but I would stop talking about Annabeth if I was you. You got it Aaron?" I asked and he nodded and I backed away slowly until I was a safe distance to turn around for him to not attack my back and I sat down beside David. Annabeth came running over and sat down beside me.
"Thanks." She whispered to me.
"What are friends for?" I asked and I saw a smile on her face.
Ok, so I have a question, I was thinking about bringing in Nico and Bianca sometime maybe when Percy and Annabeth were tweleve, should I? And what do you guys think about bringing in Clarisse? Tell me your thoughts!
