Published 29th August
Olive POV (you've all been waiting for this chapter *wink*)
Olive needed to talk to Annabeth and Percy. She was sure it was them she'd seen fighting that... that... thing. She knew she wasn't crazy. She wasn't right? No, of course not. This wasn't the first time she had seen something strange or abnormal.
The tricky thing was getting them alone. By the end of the day she still hadn't got a chance to talk to either of them. Then, this morning, they turned up with a new kid. He was weird. He had a goatee, and walked with a slight limp. Olive was intrigued by him. Something was... off about him. He introduced himself as Grover. No last name, thought Olive, interesting.
Tom also seemed to be eager to talk to Annabeth. It must be something to do with the article he found yesterday, though Olive couldn't think of any reason that would help Tom break up Annabeth and Percy. If he was trying to do that, which made sense. His crush was so obvious to everyone. Well, everyone except Annabeth and Percy. Maybe his head was full of kelp.
Grover seemed like a nice guy. We had recess with him and turns out he also goes to the ever-mysterious summer camp with the two. Apparently he was the one who introduced both of them to the camp. Then FINALLY in 6th period (Olive was very annoyed that it took the whole day) she got a moment alone with Percy and Annabeth.
Percy POV
We were in PE and put into groups of three. Luckily for Percy, he got Annabeth and Olive in his group. Olive didn't seem like her usual self though. She was more... quiet and distracted.
"Are you alright, Olive?" Percy asked. "You're just a little quiet today."
Olive's jaw hardened. "I- I need to talk to you guys."
Percy and Annabeth shared a looked and then nodded. "Shoot."
Olive swallowed. "Okay, so you guys are probably going to think I'm crazy or delusional but I need to tell someone so I'm telling you guys because I think you might know something. I- Okay, here we go." She took a deep breath. "yesterdayisawwhatlookedlikeyoutwofightinganalienwithoneeyeusingswordsandimfreakedout."
Percy looked at Annabeth, who's eyes shone with concern. "Olive, can you say that again?"
She cleared her throat, and looked at her feet. "Um.. yesterday I saw what looked like you two fighting an alien with one eye using swords and I'm freaked out." She looked at the pair nervously. "You think I'm crazy don't you? I knew i shouldn't've told you, it's dumb ignor-"
"Olive." Annabeth said gently. "You're not crazy. Come with us, and we'll explain everything on the way."
Olive's eyes widened. "So... I'm not crazy?! YES!" The class looked at her weirdly. "Wait...so then, what were you fighting? Was it really an alien? How is this possible?"
Percy smiled. These were all thoughts he had experienced before when he learned about the gods. "You're rambling Olive." She stopped. "It's ok, I know how you feel. Come to camp with us and we'll let you know everything you need to know."
Olive's eyes flickered between both of them warily. "Okay... lemme call my mum."
Annabeth quickly stopped her. "No, Olive, if you are what we think you are, you can't use a phone. It's too dangerous."
She was confused. "What? Why?"
"It's okay Olive, we'll let you know. Come on, it'll be an adventure!"
Olive smiled weakly. "Okay?"
They led Olive to the van parked outside, painted with the words Delphi Strawberry Services on the side. Grover was with them too, and as he drove them away, Percy looked out the window and smiled. We've found our demigod he thought.

Annabeth POV
The group introduced Olive to Chiron, after sighting whom promptly fainted. She was now in the infirmary and they had called Will over. He, of course, brought Nico along, and when they said he wasn't allowed in the infirmary pulled out a doctor's note. Sigh.
Annabeth, Percy and Grover were speculating about who her godly parent might be. Grover was reckoning a minor god or goddess, as he could barely get a scent off of her. Percy thought perhaps Ares, as she's always fiery. It would make sense - not all Ares children have to be mean. Annabeth could see her as a daughter of Demeter, perhaps. Definitely not Athena, however, because she didn't have grey eyes.
Grover was called off by some dryad, and Percy invited Annabeth for a bit of friendly sparring in the arena.
(AN - I have no idea how to write a fight scene lmao don't judge imma just throw in some fencing terms and see how it goes)
Annabeth squared up against Percy, grabbing her drakon-bone sword. She narrowed her eyes at him, but he was avoiding her gaze. Apparently, according to him, they were too 'distracting'. Annabeth had rolled her eyes at this. The pair circled each other for a minute before Percy attacked swiftly, Annabeth meeting his blow with a clang that echoed across the arena. They dodged, parred, blocked and jabbed (see what i mean about throwin in some terms) before they both ended with their sword at the other's throat.
Percy smiled. "Ti-" Annabeth cut him off with a kiss, which he smiled against and happily melted into.
In a flash, Annabeth had his arm twisted behind him with her sword at his throat. She laughed - this was a move she had done before. "I win. I can't believe you fell for that."
He gave her a lopsided grin as she released his arm and lowered her sword. "I'll always fall for you."
(K BUT LIKE HOW CUTE IS THAT ANYWAY)
*liIIInNEe bReak kIdsS*
Percy POV
Percy and Annabeth sat in the arena together, chatting and laughing like they always did. Percy was in the middle of re-telling the story of the gorgons at the Bargain Mart when someone cleared their throat from the doorway. Will and Nico stood there, with Olive, who, for probably the first time in her life, was shyly standing behind them. Percy smiled and she seemed to relax as Annabeth waved her over.
"Hey Olive! How are you liking camp?" Annabeth asked
"It's good. Lots of this stuff is really cool!" She said with a smile.
Percy had an idea. "Wanna see us spar?"
Olive seemed puzzled. "Like, with swords and stuff? Sure!"
Percy looked at Annabeth who reached for her sword in response. They repeated the same movements as the hundreds of other times they had done this, moving into a sort of harmonious dance-like rhythm. As always, it ended in a tie. Olive was watching with her mouth open. Will and Nico watched her with amusement.
"Best swordsman in 300 years, right there, Olive." The boy said, his blond hair glistening in the sun.
Percy held out the hilt of a bronze sword. "Want to try a little bit, Olive? I can teach you a couple basic moves."
She looked wary at first, but agreed and took the sword handle with enthusiam.
"Okay," Percy started. "So hold your sword like this, right hand on left." Olive copied his movements, but accidentally twisted her arms and dropped the sword.
All the demigods in the arena stared in shock at the sword as it clattered to the ground. Will was the first to recover from the surprise and began to sprint up the hill. Nico disappeared in a cloud of shadow.
"CHIRON!"
Percy and Annabeth looked at each other, mouths hanging open. They were sure that the other had seen what they saw.
The celestial bronze sword passing through Olive's arm, like it was made of air.
