POV Annabeth
I laugh a little as Blackjack lands. Percy slides off, then turns around to lift me off.
He suddenly sighs. "I don't have any doughnuts!" he says. Blackjack whinnies and gallops to the stables.
I laugh, but my smile quickly fades when I see Chiron galloping towards us.
"What's the news?" I ask.
"Not good, I'm afraid. The mortals have seen our world, and Zeus can't exactly wipe the minds of all the mortals."
"So what does this mean for us?" askes Percy.
"We shall see," sighs Chiron. "Ah, here come the mortels from your school. I've made it so they can get through the barrier."
Percy sighs. "I guess we should greet them."
"Yes, give them a short tour then show them the orientation video. I've made some modifications so your stories have been added," He calls behind him as he gallops off.
Percy turns to me and shrugs. "I guess we do have a pretty interesting story."
I laugh. "Are you kidding me, Seaweed Brain? We saved Olympus."
"Well when you put it that way . . ."
"Come on Seaweed Brain."
We walk towards the barrier. The students silently line up in front of us. When they are all there, I look at Percy. He motions toward me in a 'go ahead' gesture.
"Alright," I call to get everyone's attention, though I already have it. I point out the key parts of camp - Arena,big house dining hall, cabins, and the forest. "If you guys now follow me, I will show you the orientation video," I call. Percy and I show them the room.
"Normally I'd pass out popcorn, but there's not enough to go around," I call as I press play.
In the half hour we watch, they are introduced to the world of monsters. After that, our story comes on. As we're nearing the end, I see a familiar scene come up. "... get used to it" I hear as on screen me kisses on screen Percy. It doesn't take me long to figure out who took it. "Stolls!" I cry. They come running in. I point to the video, and they start stammering. "You have three seconds to run," I say. They bolt out the door.
"Okay," Percy says. "Now that that's done with, I think it's time for dinner." Sure enough, the dinner conch blows. That boy can sense food from a mile away.
"And after dinner we'll assign cabins!" The students obligingly shuffle out the door.
This is a short chapter, and I didn't make too many modifications, just fixed grammar and spelling etc. the next chapter is where the writing actually starts to get good!
