the lightning thieve

by Madalin459

learning the trough about who we were ,we have bee thrust in to a world that we belived to be impossible now though understanding the trough we are tasked to bring the lightning bolt that have been stolen .

9. Chapter 9

Once we got over the fact that our Latin teacher was a horse, we had a nice tour, though I was

careful not to walk behind him. I'd done pooper-scooper patrol in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day

Parade a few times, and, I'm sorry, I did not trust Chiron's back end the way I trusted his front.

We passed the volleyball pit. Several of the campers nudged each other. One pointed to the

minotaur horn I was carrying. Another said, "That's him." i also saw that the campers were also looking at Naruto showing curiosity but also they were more familiar with him since some were waving or sending looks twoards him or simply were pleasent twoards him which was wierd to say in the first place but it was not bad to say in a way even if it was wierd .

Most of the campers were older than me. Their satyr friends were bigger than Grover, all of

them trotting around in orange CAMP HALF-BLOOD T-shirts, with nothing else to cover their

bare shaggy hindquarters. I wasn't normally shy, but the way they stared at me made me

uncomfortable. I felt like they were expecting me to do a flip or something.

I looked back at the farmhouse. It was a lot bigger than I'd realized—four stories tall, sky blue

with white trim, like an upscale seaside resort. I was checking out the brass eagle weather vane on

top when something caught my eye, a shadow in the uppermost window of the attic gable.

Something had moved the curtain, just for a second, and I got the distinct impression I was being

watched.

"What's up there?" I asked Chiron.

''huh? what do you mean Percy ?''i asked since i did not really understood well i kind of did since the same strange person that Percy saw i did too and it moved when i had my first tour as well .

He looked where I was pointing, and his smile faded. "Just the attic."

''uh did you said just the attic uhm you don't think some one is uh living there is it cause i do not think i could stand to see a ghost but there is a ghost there isn't and if it is not at least there is something or some one that is betwin isn't it but who or what is it and what power can it have cause i can't think of anything that could make some one end up like this .

i said while thinking about this ,Percy was not really looking very well in fact he was quite shocked after hearing my words now he was starting to act nervouse .

''uh i is Naruto corect when he said all that when he meant about some one actually living there '' i said as well now being unsure after hearing what Naruto said i did not want to belive that this place had some kind of ghosts or even worst a zombie but i had the feeling that something like that was present in that attic .

''i am sorry boys but no '' he said with finality stoping our debate deciding to continue "Not a single living thing.". that made the two of us start to shiver since now i knew that Naruto as wierd as he was probably had a point when he refered to what ever was living there in the attic was being a ghost .

''see i knew it there is a ghost in this camp great just great what next zombies are real i would not put it past not being unreal with what we saw till now '' i wispered while looking at Percy who gave a strain nod since he was confused by this whole thing .

we got the feeling he was being truthful. But we were also sure something had moved that curtain.

"Come along,Percy ,Naruto '' Chiron said, his lighthearted tone now a little forced. "Lots to see."

We walked through the strawberry fields, where campers were picking bushels of berries while a

satyr played a tune on a reed pipe.

Chiron told me the camp grew a nice crop for export to New York restaurants and Mount

Olympus. "It pays our expenses," he explained. "And the strawberries take almost no effort."

we were bought impressed by this but we heard Chiron telling us that Mr. D had this effect on fruit-bearing plants: they just went crazy when he was

around. It worked best with wine grapes, but Mr. D was restricted from growing those, so they

grew strawberries instead.

we watched the satyr playing his pipe. His music was causing lines of bugs to leave the

strawberry patch in every direction, like refugees fleeing a fire. I wondered if Grover could work

that kind of magic with music. I wondered if he was still inside the farmhouse, getting chewed

out by Mr. D.

"Grover won't get in too much trouble, will he?" we asked Chiron. "I mean ... he was a good

protector. Really."

Chiron sighed. He shed his tweed jacket and draped it over his horses back like a saddle.

"Grover has big dreams, Percy. Perhaps bigger than are reasonable. To reach his goal, he must

first demonstrate great courage by succeeding as a keeper, finding a new camper and bringing

him safely to Half-Blood Hill."

"But he did that!"we bought replied since it was true knowing that Grover tried to look after us even if he had troubel in doing this since we did not made this easy for him .

might agree with you," Chiron said. "But it is not my place to judge. Dionysus and the

Council of Cloven Elders must decide. I'm afraid they might not see this assignment as a success.

After all, Grover lost you in New York. Then there's the unfortunate ... ah ... fate of your mother.

And the fact that Grover was unconscious when you dragged him over the property line. The

council might question whether this shows any courage on Grover's part."

''now this is stupid that was not Grover's fault since we decided to leave him and about what happen to mrs Jackson as well as the fact that i brought my friends to the proprety line was also not our fault since we were against the bull cow so how is all this fair for Grover .

i said showing that i was not glad about this since it was not fare Percy agreed as well seeing this as being injust .

like Naruto who had a point and said what i wanted to I wanted to protest. None of what happened was Grover's fault. I also felt really, really guilty.

If we hadn't given Grover the slip at the bus station, he might not have gotten in trouble.

"He'll get a second chance, won't he?"i asked being curious about this .

''yeah Percy is right i mean Grover tried his best so why shouldn't he get a nother chance ''i also said after Percy said that to mr Chiron .

Chiron winced. "I'm afraid that was Grover's second chance, Percy Naruto . The council was not

anxious to give him another, either, after what happened the first time, five years ago. Olympus

knows, I advised him to wait longer before trying again. He's still so small for his age... ."

we bought felt kind of bad for Grover but we wander what did that meant when mr Chiron said that about Grover since i did not asked and nither did Percy .

"How old is he?"we asked being curious the man glanced at us and responded as if there was no problem .

"Oh, twenty-eight." we where bought shocked not expecting that . we felt really bad for Grover since this was really wierd to be in the six grade till now .

What! And he's in sixth grade?"i said not beliving this i really felt bad for Grover having to go to school till now .

''tell me about it Perce this is crazy i mean having to stay in school till being this old ugh yuck this is crazy '' i told him not feeling very good thinking about this ,Percy agreed since it was true .

"Satyrs mature half as fast as humans, Percy. Grover has been the equivalent of a middle

school student for the past six years."

hearing this we bought had o shaped expresions since this was very wierd to hear about Grover being a tenager when he was a grown man .

''this is horrible '' i said not knowing what else to say .''yeah that is true Perce that is very true '' i said not wanting to think about this whole thing since it was very odd .

"Quite," Chiron agreed. "At any rate, Grover is a late bloomer, even by satyr standards, and

not yet very accomplished at woodland magic. Alas, he was anxious to pursue his dream. Perhaps

now he will find some other career... ."

we did not really liked that since we knew that Grover was serious about this but we could not say our opinion in this matter seeing that it did not depended by us .

"That's not fair," I said Naruto agreed when he asked since he was probably curious like i was "What happened the first time? Was it really so bad?"

Chiron looked away quickly. that made us understand that what ever might had happen to Grover in his first search did not ended quite well ,we felt bad for the guy since he did not deserve that at all .

"Let's move along, shall we?" Chiron said wanting to not talk about it ,we were not quite ready to drop the subject when sometihng occured to me /Percy when Chiron started to talk about my mother's /mrs Jackson fate as if he were intentionally avoiding the word death. The

beginnings of an idea—a tiny, hopeful fire—started forming in my /Percy's mind since i knew what he was thinking about and even if it was crazy it was also worth to give this a shot .

''Chiron,"we said thinking about something "If the gods and Olympus and all that are real ..." i continued thinking about how should or if i could find a way to get my mom back .Naruto was not about to stop me showing he was suporting my ideea despite being very stupid to think about it .

''yes children '' Chiron/mr Chiron asked us after we started to talk we thought that he might realise what we might want to talk or get to .

"Does that mean the Underworld is real, too?"after Percy said that i knew with out a doubt that he wanted to go there and try to get his mom back a shiver went through my body since i knew it was crazy for that place even if it was real was probably a place that not many would dare to enter let alone go and take some one from there and come back .

''Perce i think that place might be real i mean we should go some were after we die isn't it but are you sure about this i mean to try and go there '' i said since i knew this was the plan Percy said nothing but i knew that he wanted to go there regardless .

we bought saw Chiron's expression we said that seeing the look we bought decided to stop not wanting to get in troubel with the man after seeing the dark look he had .

"Yes, child." He paused, as if choosing his words carefully. "There is a place where spirits go

after death. But for now ... until we know more . . . I would urge you to put that out of your

mind."

we bought were confused though i thought that mr Chiron said that since he wanted to probably wait till Percy's dad would sent a sign since he felt that maybe then something might happen even if he did not knew exactly what and i kind of agreed with this decision since i was unsure about what to do at the moment .

"What do you mean, 'until we know more'?" i asked not understanding but Chiron remained silent and even Naruto was not telling me a thing which was very wierd i decided to not think about this at the moment .

"Come, Percy. Let's see the woods." i was intrigued by this while Naruto was quite glad to agree with the strainge man .

As we got closer, I realized how huge the forest was. It took up at least a quarter of the valley,

with trees so tall and thick, you could imagine nobody had been in there since the Native

Americans.

Chiron said, "The woods are stocked, if you care to try your luck, but go armed."

i grinned since i knew what mr Chiron was talking about but Percy was confused by this .

"Stocked with what?" I asked. "Armed with what?"

''uh well i can say that the woods are stocked with monsters and for armes well you know there are weapons such as swords bows spears you know what we saw when mr Chiron was teaching in our class ''. mr Chiron agreed smiling at the words that i said while Percy did not expected that .

"You'll see. Capture the flag is Friday night. we bought stared at the man since we did not knew what that was in the first place . Do you have your own sword and shield?" he asked us but we looked straingely at him since how the heck was the man even expecting that from the two of us when we did not had weapons me i did had my ninja tools but other than that i had no other weapons .

My own—?"i replied not knowing how to react after hearing something like this from Chiron .

''mr Chiron we don't have our weapons i mean with me i do have my ninja tools but i don't have other weapons than those ''i said wanting to let the man know ,Percy was looking at me not knowing about this while mr Chiron agreed with my words even if he did not said a thing .

"No," Chiron said. "I don't suppose you do. I think a size five will do. I'll visit the armory

later." we heard Chiron/ mr Chiron saying that to Percy who was confused by this .

''and about me will you look for a weapon for my self as well but if you could could you if you can manage to bring me a staff as well as a sword since i m quite good with those '' i knew that the request was strange but for a reazon i felt that i could do very good with a staff as well as a sword .

''hm a staff as well as sword this is most unusual request but i do seem to recall seeing you wield a black staff when you tried to reason with the kindely one that was after Percy .

hearing mr Chiron talk about that incident made me and Percy think about that since it was still wierd to go through something like that to begin with .

''yeah but that was no ordinary staff since what i was wielding is known as Shakujo or also known as the staff of the wise ,i belive that i had wield such a weapon but i do not know when exactly but it simply felt familiar to me when i held that Shakujo .

teling the two that was very strange since thinking about it now i really did felt wierd but also very comfortable while holding that staff i knew the name but even this was strange since it was so familiar to me as if i held and knew of such a staff but i did not knew from were .

''oh is that so? i do know about such a weapon but it seemes to be quite surprising for you being so young to know about such a thing most intriguing indeed ''mr Chiron said while his expresion showed curiosity his brown old eyes where now staring at me as if he was intrigued by what i said .

percy was simply confused but he too was showing curiosity since his green eyes were gazing at me as if he wanted to understand how i even knew about the things i said a few moments ago and to be honest it was quite nerve recking since i was starting to feel very uncomfortable by the two .

''well hey look guys why don't we go on with the tour ok ?'' i said trying to stop the two from asking me questions that i did not knew much nor how could i even begin to answere them in the first place .

hearing Naruto trying to not talk about what he started too was strange and i for one wanted to know what he was talking about but i did not wished to presure him since he did not wanted to talk about what ever it was .

I wanted to ask what kind of summer camp had an armory, but there was too much else to

think about, so the tour continued. We saw the archery range, the canoeing lake, the stables

(which Chiron didn't seem to like very much), the javelin range, the sing-along amphitheater, and

the arena where Chiron said they held sword and spear fights.

"Sword and spear fights?" I asked. bought Naruto and Chiron gave nods

"Cabin challenges and all that," he explained. "Not lethal. Usually. Oh, yes, and there's the

mess hall."

''this whole thing is quite cool you know Perce i mean you could have a challange and of course the place were we get to eat i kind of like it you know '' i said with a grin Percy was giving me a strange look but he shrugged his sholders not caring that much .mr Chiron smile lightly at how i reacted when talking about this .

Chiron pointed to an outdoor pavilion framed in white Grecian columns on a hill overlooking

the sea. There were a dozen stone picnic tables. No roof. No walls.

"What do you do when it rains?" I asked.

Naruto smirked since he was thinking about the same thing but i knew the smirk that he had and concluded that he probably wanted to play a prank on me .

''oh that is a good question Perce i think that nothing since you know i don't think that rain could be a problem cause duh this place is protected by you know magic and since mr D is well you know a god i think he could let things not disrupt the flow that is in the camp if he is feling generous that is .

Percy gave me a look showing he did not belived me mr Chiron chukeled at my words since he knew i was having fun around this .

''uh yeah what ever you say Naruto ''i told him not really beliving what he told me even if he was taking this as a joke not being serious at all .

Chiron looked at me as if I'd gone a little weird. "We still have to eat, don't we?" I decided to

drop the subject.

Finally, he showed me the cabins. There were twelve of them, nestled in the woods by the

lake. They were arranged in a U, with two at the base and five in a row on either side. And they

were without doubt the most bizarre collection of buildings I'd ever seen.

Except for the fact that each had a large brass number above the door (odds on the left side,

evens on the right), they looked absolutely nothing alike. Number nine had smokestacks, like a

tiny factory. Number four had tomato vines on the walls and a roof made out of real grass. Seven

seemed to be made of solid gold, which gleamed so much in the sunlight it was almost impossible

to look at. They all faced a commons area about the size of a soccer field, dotted with Greek

statues, fountains, flower beds, and a couple of basketball hoops (which were more my speed).

In the center of the field was a huge stone-lined firepit. Even though it was a warm afternoon,

the hearth smoldered. A girl about nine years old was tending the flames, poking the coals with a

stick.

The pair of cabins at the head of the field, numbers one and two, looked like his-and-hers

mausoleums, big white marble boxes with heavy columns in front. Cabin one was the biggest and

bulkiest of the twelve. Its polished bronze doors shimmered like a hologram, so that from

different angles lightning bolts seemed to streak across them. Cabin two was more graceful

somehow, with slimmer columns garlanded with pomegranates and flowers. The walls were

carved with images of peacocks.

"Zeus and Hera?" I guessed.

''yeah i mean just by looking at the two cabins you can say but what ever ''i said not being very intersted in this .

''corect '' Chiron said.

"Their cabins look empty."as i said that me and Naruto watched at the two said cabins that were simply empty .

''you have a point Percy but i think that a certain egotistic jerk is just to proud to sent his kids here and his wife well she dose not want to cheat on the jerk preaty stupid if you ask me she should just dump him i mean that is what i would do go away and not even look back i mean leave such a creep alone maybe he would like it for once .

Percy was surprised by my words as well as expresion since i was serious thunder rumbel after saying that but i simply chose to not mind that egotistical guy since he was a creep .

''Naruto you trully have a incling to annoy the king aren't you ?''mr Chiron told me while giving me a look though he shaked his head sighing as if he knew that he could not change my mind no matter what he wanted or thinking he could do .

''hey don't blame me for saying the trough since it is true '' i said not wanting to be told other wise mr Chiron smiled a bit nervosely after seeing how i talked about something like this deciding to end the subject not wanting to be told other wise .

''only you Naruto only you ''i said while shaking my head having a smile on my face .

"Several of the cabins are. That's true. No one ever stays in one or two."

Chiron/mr Chiron said even if i already knew about this already from the first tour this was quite sad to say in the first place .

Okay. So each cabin had a different god, like a mascot. Twelve cabins for the twelve

Olympians. But why would some be empty?

I stopped in front of the first cabin on the left, cabin three.

It wasn't high and mighty like cabin one, but long and low and solid. The outer walls were of

rough gray stone studded with pieces of seashell and coral, as if the slabs had been hewn straight

from the bottom of the ocean floor. I peeked inside the open doorway and Chiron said, "Oh, I

wouldn't do that!"

''no let Percy do this since after all he is mr Poseidon's son so wouldn't this be right for him to try and enter the cabin '' saying this i tried to stop mr Chiron who looked uneasy but said nothing leting Percy do as he pleased but to me i think it was more like he felt drawn towards the cabin rather than being curious about it .

Before he could pull me back, I caught the salty scent of the interior, like the wind on the

shore at Montauk. The interior walls glowed like abalone. There were six empty bunk beds with

silk sheets turned down. But there was no sign anyone had ever slept there. The place felt so sad

and lonely. I was glad when Chiron put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Come along, Percy."

''so how was the cabin of your dad ?''i asked Percy since he saw a bit of it and how it probably was looking inside .

''uh it looked good i guess but the place is empty you know and it kind of made me feel i don't know sad i guess if i have to say '' Naruto gave me a knowing look showing he was understanding which made me feel a bit good about this .

Most of the other cabins were crowded with campers.

Number five was bright red—a real nasty paint job, as if the color had been splashed on with

buckets and fists. The roof was lined with barbed wire. A stuffed wild boar's head hung over the

doorway, and its eyes seemed to follow me. Inside I could see a bunch of mean-looking kids,

both girls and boys, arm wrestling and arguing with each other while rock music blared. The

loudest was a girl maybe thirteen or fourteen. She wore a size XXXL CAMP HALF-BLOOD Tshirt under a camouflage jacket. She zeroed in on me and gave me an evil sneer. She reminded

me of Nancy Bobofit, though the camper girl was much bigger and tougher looking, and her hair

was long and stringy, and brown instead of red.

''oh i think you got Clariss's attention she is cabin five trust me that baboon has no taste i kind of feel bad for his kids since they did nothing wrong but they had to have that guy as a dad yuck i would rather stop eating ramen if i was that thing's kid he is nothing than a baboon a cave man him and smelly gabe would get along so well you know Perce .

i was surprised when Naruto said this since i did not knew who he was even talking about hearing the name Clarisse i thought he was mentioning the mean girl that was looking very similar to Nancy but the rest even if it was very amusing lost me .

''huh ? what are saying Naruto cause i don't follow ''i asked him still being lost Naruto simply gave me a look when he replied .''i think Clarisse could tell you so don't worry she is kind of cool even if she acts a bit like a bully not that is her fault anyway since she is that thing's kid ''

i simply shrugged not understanding since it was confusing to me .

''Naruto please stop saying this when refering to the gods you would not want to incure their wrath now would you i understand you very well child but you should tread carfully when talking like this about them .

Chiron told Naruto showing he was not very happy with how Naruto probably might have insulted another god even if i did not knew who it was in the first place .

''i will not apollogies not when it comes to that thing since he is that how can you even try to defend that baboon in the first place mr Chiron he is not even fit to be a god so don't try to defend him in my presence since that guy dose not deserve that title . mr Chiron gave me a exhasperated look giving up in the end since he knew i was not about to give up on this he was looking nervosly at the boar that was placed at the cabine five we all did and we saw that it had an angry scowl it eyes started to become freaky bloody even if that kind of scared me and i think Percy a bit i decided to not give in since that thing was trying to annoy me .

''ok that was wierd ''i said after seeing that boar giving us such a dark scowling look i glanced at Naruto wanderying who did he ticked off this time around .

''what ever let's move on i don't want to see that cabin anymore ''i said wanting to leave and not look at cabin five if ever .

we kept walking, trying to stay clear of Chiron's hooves. "We haven't seen any other centaurs,"

I observed.

"No," said Chiron sadly. "My kinsmen are a wild and barbaric folk, I'm afraid. You might

encounter them in the wilderness, or at major sporting events. But you won't see any here."

i wined at the words since i kind of wanted to know how the rest of mr Chiron's familly was but i knew that was not going to happen though i was serious about wanting to see thouse guys some day .

''aww that sucks i bet they are cool to hang out well oh to bad but this dose not mean i won't try to find these guys some day . i said being quite serious . Percy laughed after hearing me out while mr Chiron had a surprised look on his face though he smiled at my words .

"You said your name was Chiron. Are you really ..." i asked after Naruto said thouse words since i kind of wanted to know if he really was the trainer of heros like Naruto told me when the two of us were back at Yancy .

He smiled down at me. "The Chiron from the stories? Trainer of Hercules and all that? Yes,

Percy, I am."

''see percy i told you that mr Chiron was thee Chiron so i guess Charon is the fary man isn't he so is he a jerk who is greedy cause i don't know call me crazy but some one with the name Charon who is the fary man and takes souls to the other side must be kind of a jerk person and probably complains a lot and maybe for nothing and so he might demand mony even if he is a lazy creep that dose nothing but sit on his ass all day .''

now Percy was shocked by what i said at first when i refered to mr Chiron who smiled at us beaming a bit showing he was proud that at least one of his students rembered what he tought us .but when the fary man came in to question me and Percy saw mr Chiron not looking very happy at first but that change after i continued . since right away mr Chiron was staring at me like Percy did but then the man had a big smile that change in to smirk .

''Naruto my boy you are so well so right ah my boy may the gods bless your sharp mind cause what you have said about that man is true so very true ah i have waited millenia for some one to finally get back at that man he has the gal to complain to me cause many heros are confusing his name with mine ,well at least i am doing something unlike him .

we stared at mr Chiron/Chiron seeing that the man was probably leting some repressed feelings regurding the man who was farying the souls that were dead much to my shock i had to agree that Naruto again had been right when it came to this new so called world we are suposenly part of .

''wow you must really dislike that guy if you reacted like this ''i said with a smirk mr Chiron coughed looking a bit flustered after saying that even Percy smirked at the man after hearing the small outburst that the man did .

''oh excuse my sudden outburst but it is true to some extent even if i should not even feel like this twoards a fellow coleag that serves the gods '' me and Percy simply shrugged not carrying about this .

''about what you said a bit earlier when you said that you are Chiron the trainer of hero's well shouldn't you be dead?'' i know this was not quite the right question to ask since it was rude but i still could not belive that our latine teacher was an imortal trainer .

''Perce really ? you had to ask that i m just as intersted like you but maybe mr Chiron made a wish you know i mean he likes to teach so maybe he wanted to do that and maybe he wished for it so bam wished foufiled since we do talk here about the greek gods and anything could be posible .

i said Percy was flustered and embarest but he showed he understood even if this was wierd for me though it was not so since i was from a totally diferent world so this was not so wierd .

Chiron paused, as if the question intrigued him. "I honestly don't know about should be. The

truth is, I can't be dead. You see, eons ago the gods granted my wish. I could continue the work I

loved. I could be a teacher of heroes as long as humanity needed me. I gained much from that

wish ... and I gave up much. But I'm still here, so I can only assume I'm still needed."

I thought about being a teacher for three thousand years. It wouldn't have made my Top Ten

Things to Wish For list.

hearing this from mr Chiron showed he was really old i felt bad for him when he said thouse words since it showed that he probably saw many people and he might had cared about them but those people were now dead talking about him thinking that he might still be needed was even more sad since it felt like mr Chiron was probably feeling tierd of living the live he had i did not blamed him if he did since even if this was something he wished for to still do this till now from such a long time it trully was sad .

''come on mr Chiron don't talk like that i mean sure this is your wish but you know there still must be something that you enjoyed while doing this .why i m saying this is because i don't know it sounded like you were kind of gloom for a moment maybe even tierd do you not want to do this anymore teaching i mean mr Chiron ? do you perhaps want to retier and live the rest of your life with out being well maybe imortal .

mr Chiron was surprised his expresion showing that i was not quite wrong though i was not right either but the man changed his expresion after notecing that i was well kind of upset since the man sounded sad and lonly . still mr chiron did showed after a few moments of silance that he was a bit happy even if his expresion was not so cherfule .

''Naruto don't worry about me child you may have a point but still i do not think i could actually do this since this is all i did through out my life i mean i could not be like the rest of my kin oh no '' after hearing that bought me and Percy began to laugh .

"Doesn't it ever get boring?" i suddenly asked interupting the moment .Naruto gave me a look showing he was not really liking what i said i was a bit flustered about this but it was to late to say anything else .

"No, no," he said. "Horribly depressing, at times, but never boring."

we bought flinched at the words bought of us having our own thoughts regurding this .

Why depressing?"was the question but it was something that i should had not have asked .

''nice going Perce i mean really why depressing ugh i think i can understand now why Iruka sensei acted the way he did . saying that i knew just why this was so depressing to mr Chiron since he probably wanted to live a life where he did not need to teach and probably wanted to be with the students that he had lost but he knew that his wish was to teach and he also knew that he had to look after other demi gods like us in a way this made the man more than a teacher to me .

''sorry but i was just asking you know '' i said being serious Naruto glanced at me and showed he agreed with me but he also was more understanding than i was at the moment something that was surprising at least to me .

''i get it Perce but think how would you trully feal if you would love something and ask the gods to give you that something and that something could be something like eternal life how would you feal, if after so many years you would gain so much but also lose how would you feal if you would want to give up and live a quiet life and finally rest and joyin your friends but at the same you know that you have a duty to do and others to look after ,this is what mr Chiron is doing he is looking after us cause let's be honest who else will huh Perce ? who else gives a crap about kids and teenagers like us when others don't huh ? i can tell you who it is the man who was our teacher at Yancy that's who can you actually tell and think off sure he was a bit hard and he might not be perfect but he sure dose care and maybe more than thouse guys who live on that Olympus mountain .

Percy after hearing my words remained silent even if he wanted to say something he probably did not knew what to say since he knew that i had a point even if things for the two of us were not quite as right as we thought . we saw mr Chiron look at us with a stunned look his expresion being flushed since he probably did not expect the words that i said to be like this but it was the trough .

''uh ah hm well uhm thank you Naruto honestly i did not expected for some one young as you to have such an apreciation and understanding but trust me i do not need so much prasing child since i could had done so much more and that is true especially with what had happen to you boys when you were at school and when you were in your way here ,perhaps i could had done something for Thalia as well but the trough is i did not so i do not deserve the praise .

mr Chiron despite sounding embarest and flustered he was also sad showing he was blaming himself for what happen to Percy and me not only at Yancy but also when we where attacked by the minotaur that ended taking mrs Jackson away .this was sad but the man did not needed to take things to hard and personal since it was not his fault but that stupid arogant jerk who simply did nothing but put us in danger because of his paranoia .

as for this Thalia person the way mr Chiron was talking about her was making me think that perhaps she might had been the first demi god that Grover was tasked to bring to camp but something very wrong had happen on the way and probably ended up with the girl probably be dead or who knows .

''hey come one now don't act like this so you are not perfect big deal that is not important cause what dose that have to do with it ,nothing in fact i mean who in here is trying to look after us huh who in here is trying to teach us about the greek gods and prepare us for what is outside of this camp i mean you could had not care at all and simply let us do what we wanted deciding not to care what might happen to us and let us walk away from here and end up who knows were but you are not that kind of person since you do care maybe way to much but you care since like i said who else dose .

again mr Chiron was stunned not expecting this since he knew that i was not critecise his way of doing things or that he was not even a perfect teacher no that was not even the matter it was simply the fact that the man saw how i decided to accept the man as he was .

even Percy remained still not saying a word gawking at me after saying all that about mr Chiron we bought saw the man who was silent but straingely he started to wipe his eyes and this shocked the two of us since the man was actually crying and i had to say that it was probably because of what i said i wanted to say that i did not meant to say all that but i did not wanted to lie since it was the trough and i knew that the man was some one strong who was able to acept this and not crack .

''are you ok Chiron/mr Chiron ''we asked after seeing this the man did nost asked making us worry a bit since we did not wanted to feel like we did something we should had not .

in fact the man seemed to be or pretend to be turning hard of hearing again.

"Oh, look," he said. "Annabeth is waiting for us."right away we knew that the man did not wished to talk any more out of respect we decided to leave the man alone not wanting to make him feel bad or get upset at the two of us for trying to pry to much .

The blond girl I'd met at the Big House was reading a book in front of the last cabin on the left,

number eleven.

seeing Annie standing near the door of the cabin reading was very funny since she was such a book worm well at least she was a very cute book worm and i had no problem with that .

''hey look Naruto your' girlfriend is standing right there '' i said that with a teasing smirk since i wanted to see his reaction .

''ohhh you are right and why did you had to put things like that are you perhaps jelous Perce well to bad cause i won't give up so easy you know since Annie is quite cute even if she is serious so you better get ready for a fight pal . i retorted back smirking as well but i was also serious since i did not wanted to lose against Percy i lost against Sasuke when it came to Sakura but she was so mean to me . but Annie despite being well a bit wierd and some what bossy and maybe angry i did not knew about that last part was nice to me in a way and not started to shout or hit me .

''what ? no i m not jelouse in fact i was just joking sure this girl might be cute well quite preaty but i don't know her expresion is well to serious and stuck up so no thanks if you like her like that well good for you but i don't want to have a crush on a stuck up girl maybe we could be friends at least .

i said being half honest since i did not even cared about that at the moment for i just wanted to understand what was going on around my life at the moment and more than anything i wanted to get my mom back so i did not wanted to think about having a girlfriend .

''you are not ,not even a bit well then this makes things more easier for me then thanks Perce i don't want to sound like a jerk but i was really serious when i said thouse words regurding Annie and since we are best friends i don't want a girl to get betwin us cause i do care about our friendship . i told him with a grin ,he grined back at me and the two of us fist bump starting to grin right after that .

''don't worry Naruto we wont split just because a girl might be part of our group it will just make things diferent but hey if you really want to try geting a shot towards this Annabeth girl then go on it sure looks quite wierd seeing you act like this but if you might like this girl then why should i get in your way .

Naruto looked at me with a surprised look making me wander why he was acting like this sure what i said was kind of strange but i was being honest since i cared about my friendship with Naruto this did not meant that i did not wanted to be happy as well cause i wanted but at the moment i was not in a rush to have a girlfriend but if Naruto wanted that then who was i to stand in his way since i knew that he too might had felt that this was probably to soon but well that was me and not him .

''ha ha well to be young again you two boys are sure living your youth since you already talking like most boys around your age or older '' hearing mr Chiron /Chiron made us react and had embarest expresions since we kind of forgot that he was with us that was even more embaresing since we had been talking about one of our former latine teacher's students .

''uhh uhm sorry we didn't mean too ,yeah we got carried away mr Chiron sorry '' we apologised about what we said but the man simply laughed at the two of us embaresing the two of us even more .

''ah don't worry Naruto ,Percy this is quite normal but rember don't cause to many problems ok boys after all i don't want to much troubel in the camp ''listening to him was sure wierd since it was as if he was teling us that it was ok to talk about stuff like this but he was also warning us as if he felt that we might do something we should not . we bought thought about that when i suddenly started to realize what the man was trying to say to me and Percy .

''mr Chiron you are a pervert you know that i mean you think me and Percy are going to do what spy on girls and do wierd stuff yuck gramps get your head out of the gutter we are just kids how can you think about that ,you are so wierd .

Percy blinked giving me looks not geting what i was saying i was debating on wether to tell Percy what was really mr Chiron hinting at or not i knew he was slower than me but i could had not let Percy to be confuse or i was afraid that some one was going to take advantage of him .

''look Percy i m going to say this for your sake but what mr Chiron said to the two of us something like him leting us well do stuff that most guys do you know things that revolve around girls if you know what i mean '' Naruto told me with a wisper i got him but i did not understood what he was trying to tell me cause all of this was very wierd and confusing .

''now now Naruto were did you even got the ideea that i will allow something like that in the first place ''the man told us but i saw his small hiden smirk as if he wanted to plead inocence when the man simply told us that we could do well stuff that should not be done but not cross a line .i gave him a flat look showing i did not belived him .

''yeah like i will belive you after what you said you old perverted centaur ,you are a pervert old man so just admited cause i cought you red handed like a kid is cought when trying to take a cooky from the jar when he is not allowed .

the man faigent inocence trying to pretend he did not knew what i was talking about but i was abel to see through his all so inocent mask since he was smirking even if it was very light that no one was able to see .

''Naruto i do not know what are you talking my young friend i think you are imagening things '' the man told us but i simply gave him a look showing that i did not belived him ,Percy was not only surprised that i was saying stuff like that about mr Chiron but he was embarest as well as confused by this strange turn of converstation that had began with the two of us that ended like this .

''Naruto can you please stop it cause you are not making sense ''i told him but Naruto gave me a look his face showing a creepy serios expresion for a few moments that made me nervouse while seeing it .

'oh but i do make sense cause this perverted old man simply told us that is fine if we peep on girls and do wierd stuff you know spy on them and probaly kiss and so but we are not allowed to cross a line ,you know since it's that stuff that people do and also how children are made in other words i m talking about that thing you know sex that is what this pervy old teacher is not going to allow other than that anything else is probably faire game as long as is not to wierd .

now Percy was gawking at the two of us with a red face not beliving what i said i did not blamed him since this was wierd and creepy as well as embaresing even to me but i felt like it had to be said .now Percy was giving mr Chiron a look that showed he was not beliving what i said it was comical but it got even more funny when Percy was taking a few steps back his expresion showing dobious distrust twoards mr Chiron as if for the moment he was seeing the man in a strange wierd light .

''a are y you s serious please tell me that this is a joke right ?''i said not beliving what Naruto had told me i turned twoards Chiron who had a small frown but the strangest thing was that the man was chukeling lightly as if the discution me and Naruto had was amusing this wierded me out cause i never belived that our former latine teacher was actually acting well like that meaning he was acting like a pervert i knew about that from the guys i saw at Yancy and ugh from that guy but i did not cared about stuff like that since they were wierd and grose .

''nope Perce i m quite and sadily serious our teacher is a pervert how sad the man that we trusted in turned out to be a pervert ,yeah quite right Naruto you are so right what a tragedy indeed .

we dramatically spoke amongst ourselves then we started to laugh out loud wierding Chiron who was shaking his head at the two of us seeing how we were acting .

after stoping we reached towards the girl who was giving us a critical look but she was also embarest since her cheeks were red still she looked towards me still keeping the look like she was still thinking about how

much I drooled.

''hey Annie what are you reading there cause it sure looks very intersting seeing as you did not even took your eyes from the book you really are a book worm you know maybe i should call you like that from now on instead of Annie what do you think .

i said to her while having a teasing smirk i did not expect for her to react but she did since her cheeks became even more red than they were she glanced at me with her gray stormy eyes showing she was embarest and annoyed by my words but i did not backed down from the look and instead i grinned at her making her blink at me showing confusion .

''honestly you had to say that Naruto well maybe i should just call you wiskers instead from now on as well seeing as you want to call me book worm which is a very wrong analogy since i simply love to read books beside they are highly inforamtional so maybe you should try to read sometimes too you know .

hearing Annie teling me that made me a bit embarest since she sounded quite serious and not even fun Percy was snikering at me but i ignored him since i wanted to retorte to Annie who told me that as if i would do as she said for books if they were not manga were boring me so i did not wishe to read something boring .

''why would i want to do that books are boring book worm now if you might have manga then we are going to talk cause that i can read since they are awsome . i replied with a grin ,now Annie was giving me a look showing she was again embarest by calling her book worm and again she was annoyed by me for also calling her like that .but she was also looking at me after teling her that i liked reading manga .

''you like manga ? uh i didn't knew that. surprising well i guess to each their own but i do have to dessagree here wiskers since manga is not that intersting you know i could recomand you some novels that i read if you want something to read .

right away i made an x shape with my hands moving my head negatively shwoing that i did not want to read what she might read even if it was probably not boring i was not intersted in that since it was boring .

''nah uh i don't want to read a boring book i will fall asleep book worm trust me if you want me to get to sleep then do that or homework give these two and i will simply sleep like the log well i think at home work i might run away and not come back till you might take what ever you might give me away from me other wise i will not do anything got it cause home work is so boring and usless .

i said having a comical expresion showing that i did not liked to do home work or read boring books Percy gave the same nood as me since he too felt like me .

''what ? are you serious you won't do home work nor read important books but then how can you manage in life honestly Naruto you sound like a delinquinte by saying things like this '' hearing that from Annie was like i was sudenly smashed with a giant rock over the head and was feeling like my head started to crack at the words i had a wide eye open expresion and i was shakenly ponting towards her .

''whaaa but boook woorm home work and long books are sooooooooooooo boooooooooooooring i want action and adventure i want to kick ass and save preaty girls and countries from bad guys that is what i want to do why should i do boring stuff that is so wastfule .

now Annie was looking at me blinking when she was starting to smile smirking at me for a few moments when she ended grining lightly at my words .

Percy was snikering at this while mr Chiron was chukeling bought being amused by the words i said i simply chose to ignore them since they did not understood my dream so they did not need ot know or understand .

''oh so you want action adventure and to save preaty girls as well as countries from evile people my my Naruto what a wierd dream you have so you want to play mr hero huh how wierd wiskers how wierd indeed .Annie said while she was looking at me but her eyes where having a mischivoous glint while her expresion suddenly turned in to an amused one as if what i said was something very funny .

''hey why do you have that look huh you are making fun of me aren't you ahh you are mean book worm well what ever you will see some day i will be seen as hero and then we will see who will swallow her words ,while you will read thouse books of yours i will be out there taking names and make a name for my self . i told her showing that i was very serious wanting to emphisise that my look became serious too but it was just so hard to put on such a look when some one cute like the girl who was in front of us was looking at me with a damn amusing smirk .

''oh is that so wiskers so you think that you will be a hero pwah how silly but go on try that and we will see just who will be a hero cause i for once will be quite safe in my books as you put it while you will be there taking names and make a name for your self ,oh by the way have i forgot to mention mr hero ,that heros die in the end ,so you might rethink your choice of carrier cause you might end in an early grave .

that strucked me as well as shocking me i wanted to reply right away since i was not going to let Annie to talk to me like that i would had let that pass but she was simply asking for it since she was reading but her eyes where glancing at me and from time to time i was able to see her amused smirk as if she was amused by the words .

''grr, ahh i wil show you just you wait book worm i will be a hero get it and when i will be you are going to be the one who will be jelouse cause i did someyhing while you well you remained with your nose in a book like a book can show you were the action is if it's not a manga then forget it you won't find action in a boring book .

Annie again pretended to not take my words serious in fact she acted all cool and nice as if she was not even phase and she continued to smirk at me trying to goad me more sadely it was working for a very strange reason cause i was starting to get iritated by her but she was also to cute for her own good to make me stay mad at her so i was in a hard and a rock like place since i had to chose betwin being mad at book worm or not in the end after a few seconds i was in betwin meaning i was geting mad at book worm and i was also not geting mad at her .

''you are just doing this to annoy me isn't it it's just that you are cute maybe way to cute that you are making things wierd and also for me to stay mad at you but you deserve to be poked you hear me i will poke your forhead till it will be all red and then you will apologise to me for saying all those things .

i declared not wanting to back down from this ,Percy was all amused by this even if he was wierd by the banter betwin the two of us mr Chiron was simply watching having an amused expresion it was as if the man was watching a tv show but only that it was real and me as well as Annabeth were the main characters .

''w wha what did you ,did you just called m me c cute and just why would you want to poke my forhead till i will apologies why should i even apologies for in the first place . i simply gave Annie an acusatory glance since she was pretending that she was inocent of not doing a thing when her guilt for making fun of one of my dreams was present and i was not about to let that go unpunished .

''yeah you are cute very cute extremely cute in fact got a problem with that cause if you have i don't care nor will i this is my opinion and i will stick with it get it and as for poking just because you are very cute that dose not mean you will not go unpunished so your punishment for taking one of my dreams as a joke is to have me poke your forhead till you will apollogiese i bet you will have a very red and bumpy forhead but i could tickell you till you will give out and admit that you are wrong .

Annabeth gave me a look taking a few steps back recoiling form my words her expresion that was incredulouse as well as stuned showing embarest as well was shown and that made me feel quite good since this meant that Annie was not so tough to hold the raign of the small banter that started betwin us .

''y y you ,y you w w wouldn't do that i don't belive you wiskers y you don't have the guts to actually do that ''Annabeth told me but right away i gave her a shrewed look showing that i was serious very serious in fact .

''you just made the worst mistake that you could ever do and that means that yes i can do this and i will do it since i can and i will so you have two choices either apologies and we forget this or take your punishment like a girl or are you a cowered book worm i mean what will people say when they will hear that you are runing away from being tickelled huh i bet that you are scared to be tickelled isn't it oh boo hoo book worm is afraid of being tickelled some smart girl you turned out to be ,you are more like a scared girl rather than smart even a cat would have more guts than you chiken .

as i told all that to Annie who was surprised by my serios as well as amsued look at first she was embarest and still surprised but then she had a change in her expresion since her stormy gray eyes became cold as metal and a cold expresion was present on her face now starting to give me a hard long annoyed stare that was quite cold as metal . i had to admit that was really intimidating and scary but i chose to not let Annie see that since i did not wanted to be seen as cowered .

''wiskers what did you said to me ,did you just insulted me cause that is what your words sounded like well i guess i have to show you a bit of descipline isn't it since it appears that you wiskers have quite the big mouth and i belive that this mouth needs to be closed a bit wouldn't you say so .

hearing the words as well as seeing the look that Annabeth had started to scare me a bit since she was glaring at me while being calm but i could sense that something strange was around her something like a black aura that showed a scary mad person or more like girl . i was starting to glup a bit as well as sweat seeing that it did scared me a littel since it was something i did not saw or wanted to see ever again .but still i did not wanted to back down so despite the sudden scary aura that Annabeth was having around her at the moment i shouted at her wanting to not back down from her or what she wanted to do as payback for what i said to her .

''oh yeah then go ahead bring it i m not scared of you since you ,you are just jus girl ''i shouted that wanting to insult Annie and well it worked but instead of having the desierd efect that i expected instead Annie was looking at me with a dead serious look and i could had sworn that a growl was let out by her but i did not knew for that was not scary no what was scary was her face as well as gray stormy eyes that had a very cold look as i was staring in thouse eyes i saw how they became sharp like a blade that was ready to cut me down even strainger i saw Annie's eyes not only narrow but they also gained a lower sharper almost like a slit like apparance .

''wiskers you are very wierd and so un original but you succeded in to making me mad so a girl am i well then wiskers i will just show you what this girl can do just you wait it will be fast swift and you will not expect it and when it will happen you will be on the ground standing at my feet while i stand victorious over you just rember i am a strategist and i can use any tactic i want wiskers so you want to test me cause i can show you just how eficient i am .

being honest the threat while not being to much was quite scary and coming from Annabeth who was a very preaty girl that was saying something since despite she being preaty very preaty in fact she was at the moment very scary i thought for a moment that maybe being preaty if not beutifule had also something to do with being very scary cause Sakura was acting like that when she was mad but she was mad all the time when i was around but Annabeth well this was so wierd and so bizare but it was aslo quite entrancing since for a wierd reazon she was even more preaty when she was mad than when she was usually calm and this was making me act nervouse while being around her .

''y you d don't s scare m me s so b bring it i will take you on'' i said back while wanting to show i was not intimidate .Annabeth gave me a smirk probably seeing that i was not cowering in front of her but that smirk turned in to a smug smile as if she knew she was going to end up as the winner betwin the two of us . i simply gave Annie a stare not wanting to be intimidate by her which in turn she smiled again after seeing that i was intimidate by her .

''ok this is so wierd i mean i don't even get what is going on here ''i said after having enough of eatching this strange exchange betwin Naruto and Annabeth .

''ahh Percy your ignorance is such a bliss child but in this case i think it is better to remain ignorant since trust me you do not wish to understand what is going on betwin Naruto and Annabeth cause that i m sure will only confuse you even more .

i shrugged after hearing the words that Chiron told me since i did not get it anyway not that i wanted to get it since what i saw as amusing and wierd as it was simply confused me as far as it continued .

geting over this wierd moment geting some courage i decided to walk closer to Annabeth wanting to see what she was actually reading . but I couldn't make out the title. I thought my dyslexia

was acting up. Then I realized the title wasn't even English. The letters looked Greek to me. I

mean, literally Greek. There were pictures of temples and statues and different kinds of columns,

like those in an architecture book.

''hey Perce what's wrong why do you look wierd out ''i asked since i saw my first best friend having a wierd expresion shown on his face wanting to see what that was all about i walked twoards Percy as well as Annabeth who pretended to ignore me like Percy i too glanced at the book but i was totally lost since i did not understood a thing although i saw pictures with buildinngs that looked strangely like tempels that were similar to how some of the cabins in the camp were there were also statues as well as columns ,i was wierded out but i was starting to get what the book was i threw a glance at Annabeth who did the same even if she had a more slightly colder expresion in her gray stormy eyes that made me nervouse since she was upset now after what i said .

''so this is an archithectural book this is so wierd i mean i just don't get what is in this book to begin with ''i did not said that to sound like a jerk but i said that since i really was lost when i saw that since i thought that at first Annabeth had some kind of boring book but seeing that it was not that well i had to say that at least she had taste in books but now this simply left me even more confused than at first cause a book about architecture was not something that i thought it could help Annie so i was simply at a lost here not geting her at all .

''honestly what are you seeing so wierd in this i mean to me this is not wierd it is actually interesting you know '' hearing that i was simply lost not geting it at all since what i saw were just a bunch of buildings and pilars so i did not saw what was so great about them .

''sorry but you are reading and looking at pictures in a book that has temples and pilars so what is so great about all this i just don't get it '' Annie gave me a look as if she wanted to tell me that i was 'stupid 'i would had been angry at her but for once i did agree since this was stupid since i just did not get what was so intersting in all this to begin with .

''Naruto this is a book about architecture so can you please stop saying such a crude thing '' Annie told me with a simple tone i simply made a sound showing that i did not really liked what Annie told me but i also did not cared cause i really did not .

''sorry but this is really a book about nothing but buildings pilars and statues what the heck i am supose to get from all this i mean there is nothing moving from what i can see just what the heck is this . i said already starting to feel like i was totally lost and did not knew what to do .

''honestly can you not get it this is book that showes diferent modelles of tempels as well as columns and even statues that can go well with the decour'' i after hearing the words tiltead my head not geting it it was as if a fly was entering on my right ear and was geting out on the left one .

''uh not geting it aghhh this is so stupid i just don't get this book out of all the boring books you could chose you chose one that has no sense to me '' i shouted since i did not get it it was so simple but it was also so hard since i really did not get a thing from the book that Annabeth was reading .

''wow holy Olympus you are dumb like what the heck can you not get form the book i m tring to read anyway '' now hearing this also being said with a blunt monotone tone made me mad at Annie since this was not so nice to be insulted just because i did not get what she was reading i did not even get why i was geting mad at her just because she was reading something like that since it was not my problem but i just seem to get mad after she said that .

''aghhhh stop saying that just because you are smart you are just looking at a book that has nothing but buldings strange statues made of stone and pilars just what the heck is so amazing about this ,i mean were is the action where is the dialog where is well what ever makes a book being book this is just plain stupid .

after saying that i trew my hands in the air while venting out since i did not get what the heck i even saw i wanted to understand even a bit but i could not get a singel thing .

''wow you really don't get this hm intersting can you not read greek at all ? wait a moment of course you can't i mean you must not get the langauge at all '' now Annie began to mutter her expresion showing a strange look while she was talking i simply did not get what she was saying but i did rember form the other day when i went to the class she was trying to teach and that was that i did not get a singel thing that was in the books that she gave me like litterally i could not get what was written in there even if i did or did not want to .

''oh great so what if i can't understand this language huh you think i m stupid well i m not get it i simply don't understand just what is so intersting at staring at a buch of buldings '' i said mostly to my self but Annie heard me a sigh came from her while she was reading her book .

''you are quite thick headed like i said this is a book abouth architecture you see the cabins and the pavilion of the great hall this is what i m watching as well as reading since i want to built ok i want to be an architect some day .

i as well as Percy stared at Annie not beliving what she wanted to become .

''uh really you want to built buildings and stuff like that how wierd i mean some one like you well you could be a great builder some day well architecture as you said it but i don't see it i mean you are way to smart for that i mean you could be i don't know a libririan or even a teacher so why stuch on building stuff that is so boring no offense .

Annie was looking at me after saying that she was embarest at first though she became mildely annoyed at how i was making fun of probably what she consider being her dream though i was not since i knew how important was to have a dream but a builder was so strange to hear from Annie since even if it had been just two to three days almost since i meet her i noticed that she was very good at teaching and even in battel though i did not saw her fight so much but it was simply her natural look that simply gave the look of a warrior as well as some one very wise and strong as well ,so hearing Annie wanting to be a builder instead of a warrior to me it felt well kind of strange .

''hm you think so well i could be thouse things if i wanted too but i enjoy building stuff too so this is what i chose '' Annie said in the end i just hung my head since this seemed like such a waste seeing some one like her who was very cute smart and very good at what she was doing having to built stuff instead of fight and beat down bad guys as well as save lives seemed wierd and a waste to me since where was the adventure in this . for there was none simply thinking of Annie having to be stuck behind a desk in a house having strange huge maps with buildings and other things drawn on them to me seemed so boring and simply wastefule .

''well what ever i wont bother you on this i mean this is what you want to be right so i have no right to tell you what to do but still i do see this as being well boring ,hey at least do you win mony out of this and if so how much .

i asked after deciding to give up on this since it was stupid to begin with hearing my words out Annie sure showed she was at leat glad that i did not continued i did not blamed her since i kind of sounded like jerk just because i did not get what she wanted to do for her dream .

''well you can win quite the money from being an architect but it dose depend on the period of the project that an architect takes so some times the pay can be small or it can be big it all depends .

Annie explained and me as well as Percy understood but this was so wierd since it was just so odd hearing her talk about this when there was so littel to gain from this in the first place .

''ah ha well what ever this sounds complicate and wierd but if that is what you want then ok even if i do think it is well boring now i m not saying this cause i don't like your dream but really do you trully see yourself actually do something like this for the rest of your life .

now Annie was giving us a thoughtule look showing she was trying to come with an answere she was quiet for quite a while but finally she decided to respond .

''to be honest i don't really want to just be an architecture since i do have other things that i like to do but sinc dauther of the goddes of wisdome we are requierd to do stuff like that but it is not like i do not like this in the first place cause i do to be honest .

after saying that Annie was quiet returning back to her book me and Percy thought about her words deciding to not talk about this building stuff since it was boring like really boring but we did saw that Annie was quite happy about this so we droped it and let her be since it was what she wanted to be in the future no matter how boring this was or maybe she was not seeing this as something boring but maybe it was for me and Percy since we did not get what she was trying to in trough .

''ok so you want to built stuff in the future that's fine i guess well what ever it's your problem not mine so i will drop it '' i said wanting to stop and not say a thing since it was boring to me as well as wierd thinking about sometihng like this .

''fine what ever i don't care what are you saying in the first place wiskers ''Annie told me showing she really did not care about my words i gained a small ticked off expresion for being called wiskers by her since that was starting to be annoying .

''shut up book worm ''i replied but she smirked even if she said said nothing we did saw her glancing at me from the pages of her book just to probably tick me off some more but i chose to not make her game .

"Annabeth," Chiron said, "I have masters' archery class at noon. Would you take Percy from

here?" we bought heard mr Chiron say to her while she was still reading that made me chukel seeing this but i chose to say nothing since i did not want to have Annie get on my case after that .

"Yes, sir."she responded at the answere i snicker and started to wisper in Percy's ear making him laugh at what i told him we were bought carfule to not be noticed by Annie but she did gave us a brif look wanderying probably why were we wispering and snickering she kept her gaze on the two of us for a few moments till she decided to drop the matter and mind her own busnis again .

"Cabin eleven," Chiron / mr Chiron told us gesturing toward the doorway "Make yourself at home."he told Percy who gave a nod even if it was a bit strained and weak showing he was unsure of all this i did not blamed Percy seeing how all this was new to him as well as me .

Out of all the cabins, eleven looked the most like a regular old summer camp cabin, with the

emphasis on old. The threshold was worn down, the brown paint peeling. Over the doorway was

one of those doctor's symbols, a winged pole with two snakes wrapped around it. What did they

call it... ? A caduceus.

Inside, it was packed with people, both boys and girls, way more than the number of bunk

beds. Sleeping bags were spread all over on the floor. It looked like a gym where the Red Cross

had set up an evacuation center.

Chiron didn't go in. The door was too low for him. But when the campers saw him they all

stood and bowed respectfully.

"Well, then," Chiron said. "Good luck, Percy. I'll see you and Naruto at dinner."

He galloped away toward the archery range.

me and Naruto stood in the doorway, looking at the kids. They weren't bowing anymore. They were staring

at me, sizing me up. I knew this routine. I'd gone through it at enough schools.

"Well?" Annabeth prompted. "Go on."

i agreed with Annie since this was important i just hoped and wished for Percy to not blow it up but sadely my wish did not came true for Percy So naturally tripped coming in the door and made a total fool of himself There were some

snickers from the campers, but none of them said anything.

i sighed and shaked my head but had a small snicker wanting to encourage Percy since he was acting nervouse and this was probably a very important moment to him since he was about to be a part of the camp so it was important for my best friend to not be seen as an idiot since he was not one despite not doing very well in school .

Annabeth announced, "Percy Jackson, meet cabin eleven.

Annie said earning the other campers attention at the name there were many looks pointed towards the two of us as if most were expecting some kind of answere from Percy though i kind of knew what was going to be said and it was better for him to reply with the second rather than the first since if the camp would guess or learn that Percy was the son of mr Poseidon then i bet things were not going to be nice but i could simply hope .

"Regular or undetermined?" somebody asked.

this earned our attention for Percy was confused not knowing what to say while me as well as Annie we knew Percy was undetermined well as far as Annie thought for she did not saw who Percy trully was .

''undetermined '' i heard bought Annabeth and Naruto say the two talking in sink it was a bit creepy to be honest but also fun ,it was even more funier when the two glanced at the other ,Naruto smiling showing a grin while Annabeth was just surprised showing a small flustered expresion .

after me and Annie said the words talking at the same time ending in a wierd synk we heard one the entier cabin groaned not that i blamed them for the place was already packed .

we saw A guy who was a little older than the rest came forward. "Now, now, campers. That's what

we're here for. Welcome, Percy. You can have that spot on the floor, right over there."

the guy in question was Luke a intersting guy from what i was able to see but quite scary looking because of his long scar that was giving him an almost evile look ,though to me that was not the reason why i felt he was scary ,no it was because i was able to see it just like me that guy was angry as well as bitter so bitter that he was hating the place he was maybe even the world and wanted vengance like Sasuke did but i did not knew why ,though i was thinking that he might have a problem with his dad although i did not knew what that problem was .

i was able to see that Annie was already starting to get flustered around the guy for she was figiting as if she was standing on pins ,that made me smirk at her for i wanted to try teasing her but i also did not wish to let that guy get any closer to Annie for i did not wish to share beside the guy looked way to older for her so it was more better for Annie to look twoards some one who was closer to her age ,now i did not meant my self but i did not deny the thought either wanting that ,so even if i stood closer to Annie already wanting to draw a line i was standing even closer ,geting her attention as well as the rest of the campers that stood in the cabin who now seeing this they where either smiling teasingly or smirking at the two of us .

''hey Luke how are you fine ? well i think so ,glad to see you agreed to help Perce here you know ''i told him with a grin ,making the guy return the said grin to me it was kind of sad seeing a guy like this turning the way he did for he was a good person .

''well you know us cabin 11 we allways wellcome new undetermined demi gods like your friend here ,i see you are fine kid ,and what is this you are standing awfully closer to Annabeth !''

Luke said with a bright tone that was quite nice from what i saw Percy was starting to get less nervous around the guy and be more like himself rather than tense ,the guy though as he went on and talked about how the cabin 11 was allways helping new demi gods like me and Percy we saw him smirk at me as he refered to how more closer i was standing to Annie .

''ah about that well duh of course i am standing more closer to Annie for you know i am just trying to keep her safe from grubby paws that want to take her away and by this i mean older grubby paws so my advice is to who ever is oler and has some slimy grubby paws to stand away from Annie cause i won't share and i don't like to do something like that so draw a line and just keep distance or well i know a few good pranks that i can put to good use ''

as i said this the entier cabin looked at me when after a few moments of silance they all began to laugh even Percy was doing that well i wanted to get embarest but i was not for i simply said what i wanted too .

the laughter went on for a few more minutes but then when it stopped i was able to see snickers and grins being sent twoards me after what i said to Luke .

''oh some one is quite teritorial from what i can see don't worry Naruto Annabeth is a great and old friend so you don't have to worry about me at least trying to as you put it place my grunbby hands on her .''

Luke said with a teasing smirking smile that made the others react in a similar fashion embaresing Annie even more than she already was after hearing my words and saw that i was serios as i talked .

''well i will be the juge of that ,but if what you said is true then i won't prank you but rember Annie if off limits to guys like you got that i saw her first so i won't share so find your self your own girlfriend some one who is just as old as you and not some one who is young i mean what the heck you might go to jail if you try something twoards Annie here i mean you are what 19 and well she is 12 like me and Percy so wouldn't this be i don't know wierd and creepy ?''

i told Luke who was staring at me with a surprised stunned look as did Percy and the rest of the cabin who heard me make such a bold declaration at first twoards how i wanted to defend Annie and make it look like i liked her which was true so i did not want any one to have her but me and also as how i thought about Luke being a guy who liked to date younger girls seeing as he was more older .

''uh wow i would have never expected something like this man you really are something huh and you also have quite a wierd mind set Naruto ,i mean really ? you think that i would try to do something like what you might think twoards Annabeth ,uh you are way to off for thinking like that ,you know .''

we heard Luke saying this to me but i did not really trusted him even if he was probably honest for it was obvious that even if he was not going to do who knows what to Annie ,she was probably not really against stuff like that seeing as she well she was probably liking the guy ,i was not upset but it sure was creepy seeing some one preaty if not very beutifule and also around my and Percy's age as well as other young campers beside us liking an older guy .

''mh you have a point but Annie might like you and this well it is way to creepy to see a girl around our age trying to well you know date an older guy ,i never saw any thing like this but isn't this i don't know wrong ?'' i asked for it really looked to be very wierd to me ,even if Annie was very embarest and was trying to save her self from any more embaresment she did glance at me with bought an annoyed expresion for she looked like she wanted to hit me some how and she also had a flushed red face ,that wierded me a bit for i did not knew what her problem was i mean i realised she was embarest by what i told the guy she might like but i did not get why she looked like she wanted to hit me or think about this as if she was in an in betwin decision , in the end i simply tried to not think about this seeing as it was wierd .

''haha don't worry Naruto nothing like this is happening ok and yes it is wierd and wrong but some times things like these happen you will get used to it kid if you are going to stay here from now on '' Luke said with a easy going tone ,that made hings so more wierd for me since i did not want to hear them form him but i thought that this was probably how these guys where functioning .

''you guys are all a bunch of wierdos really doing stuff like these yuck you are very creepy you know that ''i blurted that out not being in any way sorry about this ,this earned wierd looks from the members of the cabin who at first where silent but then started to laugh making me not get them since i was not trying to be funny but i was really wierded and starting to get a bit creeped out by what Luke told me regurding that dating a younger girl was wrong but if i where to stay at this camp i was going to get used to even wierder stuff now this was not making me comfortable at all for i did not wish to stay in a wierd camp ,that was filled with wierd kids and teenagers .

''hahaha really you are a riot Naruto don't worry no one is going to do any thing wierd here or creeepy so you don't have to be afraid or feel uneasy about anything while being here with us ''.

i was looking twoards Luke with a distrustfule expresion eying more carfully for i was not so sure about his words for i felt that there where a bunch of wierdos in this place a few or a cabin in particular was the cabin 10 and the members that where in it ,there where a lot of preaty guys and girls that looked well girly for once but to me the wierd part was that the girls from that cabin where giving me looks and they where allways starting to giggell or wisper ,this was really making me uncomfortable for i felt that thouse girls where almost about to take me to their cabin and do who knows what to me just thinking about this was making me shiver not liking the feeling at all .

''yeah right tell that to those girls from that cabin 10 they are the most wierd bunch of girls i had ever meet i mean what is with those girls looking so wierdly at me like they want to drag me to their cabin and do who knows what with me i mean what the heck did they even saw in me is it the face or the wisker marks or maybe my blond spiky hair i don't get it but those girls sure look like they would want to drag me to their house and well try to embares or at least do embaresing stuff to me ,yuck i don't like embaresing stuff you know ,this is so creepy and wierd ,ugh i will never get girls they are just so wierd .''

i told Luke who looking at me he had a very amused expresion as if the guy was trying to either fell annoyed twoards me or pity me the looks where the same from the other guys ,while the girls at least where doing that wierd giggeling stuff or they where just smirking at me trying to tell me something .

''haha yeah that will be the cabin where Aphrodite's children live don't worry they are harmless and for the girl there i guess that maybe they saw something cute you know they like stuff like that so maybe that is why they are doing what you just told me ''

Luke said and this was not looking good for me i was groaning not liking to be called cute i was not cute i was just awsome and wanted to be awsome not cute ,for cute was not awsome or dangerous and i was a ninja already how was i going to be awsome and beat bad guys up if i was thought of like some one who was cute ,that was just very embaresing and not awsome at all .

''hey whatch it i am not cute got it cute is not dangarouse or awsome how can i be an awsome ninja and future hokage if people think of me as being cute no i wont accept it never this is a girl's stuff and i am not a girl do i look like a girl to all of you huh do i do i do i tell me do i ,no i m not ,so listen here all of you ,you are watching at the future hokage of the hidden leaf village and the most amazing and soon to be powerfule ninja that will ever live i will be a legend amongst the ninja's that where before me so no one will tell people that i was cute got it never and i mean never ever ever ever say that to me i am not cute got it i am amazing and awsome that is what i want to hear and i will allow but cute ? never so don't ever say that in front of me or i will stab you i mean it i have kunais and shurikens on me don't think i won't use them if i will hear things i won't like ''

huffing i told the cabin showing i was very indignate at the insinuation that they dared to belive twoards me about thinking that i was cute i ignored the wierd odd flat looks that whre given to me as well as murmures or even the sarcastic looks as well as wispers .

even Annie was giving me a look but her's was diferent for instead of being flat or sarcastic she was looking at me with an amused smirk as if she had found something very amusing as i began to complain about not wishing to be called cute ,i glanced twoards her wanting to stop her from smirking at me .

''oh alright then my pardon Naruto i did not knew that i am standing in front of a future legendary warrior my pardon for trying to tell you that you are cute when you are not seeing as you are very dangerous like very dangerous ''.

Luke told me with a sarcastic teasing tone that made the others starting to almost laugh even Percy was smiling almost being about to laugh seeing this as something funny .

''ha ha very funny Luke you are so amusing like i could laugh right now oh by the way i am laughing you know so much in fact that i am about to burst ,oh ups but i m not am i sorry you where not so funny as you thought ''.

now Luke stoped and gave me an akward smile that was more sheepish than akward seeing that was ironically sardonic as well as cold to his words that showed his attempt on trying to make a funny joke and hoped to tease me .

''alright that's enough sarcasam for now wiskers and would you not stand so near to me i need a bit of space if you would '' Annie said while showing she wanted for what happen betwin me and Luke to stop ,i said nothing for i did not want to get upset for nothing .

hearing her how she asked me to get some space betwin ourselves made me notice this and i did that showing a small red tinge on my cheeks showing that i was a bit embarest by what i did .

after what had happen betwin Naruto and the person named Luke had been stopped by Annabeth who now was calm unlike before she eyed bought me and Naruto though i saw she had a small blush on her face as she did this ,not that i blamed her seeing as Naruto was very blunt and direct with his words as well as intentions showing he was quite teritorial when it was about Annabeth showing quite obviosly he was having a crush on her .

as i was whatching the teen named Luke i saw that he was about nineteen, and he looked pretty cool. He was tall and muscular, with shortcropped sandy hair and a friendly smile. He wore an orange tank top, cutoffs, sandals, and a

leather necklace with five different-colored clay beads. The only thing unsettling about his

appearance was a thick white scar that ran from just beneath his right eye to his jaw, like an old

knife slash.

"This is Luke as Naruto already spoke out ''i was able to hear Annabeth while Naruto was now silent showing he did not mind much what was said by Annabeth regurding the guy .

''He's

your counselor for now."

i heard Annabeth tell me while i looked at her with a very intrigued expresion showing that i did not understood what she meant through her words not that i did not understood what she told me but it was just to wierd to hear that the guy Luke was going to be a counselor for the time i was going to stay here at the cabin ,honestly i did not knew how to feel about this .

For now?" I asked.

"You're undetermined," Luke explained patiently. "They don't know what cabin to put you in,

so you're here. "You're undetermined," Luke explained patiently. "They don't know what cabin to put you in,

''ohh that is quite awsome to have a dad like that but well that's me at least ,and yes Percy this is where the kids who are unclaimed like the two of us stay for the moment ,betwin you and me i think for the moment is more better to be here untill well you know maybe will be claimed or something ,i bet it will be something wouldn't you say hehe i know it will already be something alright .

i replied right away seeing snickers from the others that where from the said cabin but Luke was not looking quite good for he was frowning showing a strained smile as if he was pretending to react in a fun way ,that shifted though when i moved the subject from Luke's dad to the demi gods that where unclaimed ,that was very bad and not good for it was not nice what me and Percy where seeing ,but i did not say a thing regurding that .

what did happen though was that i began to talk in a small misteryous tone that now earned attention from the group who where whatching Percy and me wanderying what i meant with my words ,Percy was surprised but understanding where i was going to he had a small uneasy expresion now rasing even more intrigue from me and Percy ,we bought smile and snorted when i ended things for the look on all the campers faces when they were about to learn who where our parents ,would sure shock and stunn as well as surprise many when it will be revealed .

''yeah i guess so but really do i have to stay here untill then and how long will that be any way ? beside you just had to make things like this isn't it ?''i told Naruto wispering to him being a bit usure of this but i was also not really geting why was Naruto trying to mess around with other people maybe it was a thing of his even if i thought that his plan and ideea of when our parents will as he told me claim us there will be stunned looks .

''who knows how long but i bet it will happen soon any way ''i wispered to Percy who was not very pacient about this but i did not blamed him for there was no time for what we where doing since we had to get out and trying to look for ms Jackson as fast and soon as posible .

hearing Naruto out i was unsure of what to think of all this for all it was so strainge to me looking around I looked at the tiny section of floor they'd given me. I had nothing to put there to mark it as

my own, no luggage, no clothes, no sleeping bag. Just the Minotaur's horn. I thought about setting

that down, but then I remembered that Hermes was also the god of thieves.

I looked around at the campers' faces, some sullen and suspicious, some grinning stupidly,

some eyeing me as if they were waiting for a chance to pick my pockets.

"How long will I be here?" I asked.

that earned the others attention who where looking at me with amused though very sarcastic expresions as if what i said was something so familiar but also sounded like a very good joke ,and this was quite sad from what i was seeing for this was no joke ,and if it was it was a sick bitter one that i did not liked

"Good question," Luke said. "Until you're determined."

Luke said to Percy as if he said something very funny as well as simple even if things where not that simple in trough ,i saw Percy have a ponderying expresion and i knew what he was probably going to say for i was thinking the same thing as well regurding this determined stuff .

How long will that take?"i asked when i saw the campers starting to laugh as if i said something very wierd or funny ,i saw Naruto having an upset even annoyed expresion when he saw this he glanced twoards me with a small smile showing he was not amused as the others where and i felt greatfule for this seeing as i had some one other than Grover on my side .

''Come on," Annabeth told me and Naruto earning our attention bought now where looking at her wanderying why was she annoyed we looked at one another trying to understand what Annabeth's deal was for this was wierd seeing her have such a reaction.

"I'll show you the volleyball court."

Annie told Percy and me we saw her being quite serios and did not wished to be told other wise i knew right away that something was wrong when she saw what happen with Percy a few moments ago when he introduced himself and then started to ask questions ,i admit that it was a bit fun seeing the reactions of thouse from the room when Percy asked how long was he needed to remain here at cabin 11 as well as how he recived the answere when he asked about how long was going to take for him to be claimed by his dad mr Posaidon .

but even so i did not liked how Annie saw this as something that for her was unsatisfaying as if she would have expect Percy as well as me to be better than these guys ,i internely snorted at this and at what Annie thought for this was arrogance at it finest and i did not liked it for it reminded me of Sasuke i disliked that guy but even so the real reason i did not liked him was because he was distant and cold i knew in a way that what happen to his clan was sad even terible ,but when i was seeing Sasuke being drawn in to his own alloffe prsonality that was not only similar to Annie's but also very cold and distant i simply hated that guy for that ,and in a way looking at Annie i did not wished that to happen to her ,for seeing Sasuke turn out the way he did was sad and lonley as well as empty so in a way who wanted to live an empty devoide life ,i for sure didn't want that for it was scary living an empty angry life was not something i wanted despite my own anger and problems i knew that Sasuke's way was wrong ,so seeing Annie act in a similar way it made me feel unpleasent for i did not wish to see this not again .

''we've already seen it." we said to her wanting to not see that again for it was true but Annie /Annabeth some how did not mind our opinion she grabbed mine and Naruto's wrists and started to drag us outside .we could hear the kids of cabin

eleven laughing behind us .

When we were a few feet away, Annabeth said, "Jackson, you have to do better than that

we bought stared at Annie/Annabeth starting to get annoyed me more than Naruto for i really did not get this girl sure she was preaty enough but she really was a stuck up girl acting like she was so more better than me or Naruto speaking of my friend he really was not liking the attitude of the girl either and he even said all thouse things about her i really was a bit glad that he was not suckered up like that by her and was just as upset as i was for this girl was really starting to irk me for some reason ,and it was not for the reason of having a problem with her but it was her attitude that was a problem .

''what ?''i replied wanting to know what her problem was .

''yeah Annie what was that all about i mean Percy just asked normal questions so i don't get it why are you annoyed ?''i asked Annie who looked at us and simply rolled her eyes as i asked her this now this was really starting to iritate me for i was just asking a question nicely and she simply responded like this as if what i asked was nothing in her eyes it was annoying but even more seeing her like this was starting to make me mad for she was acting just like my class mates and most if not the entier village who where looking down on me even Iruka was doing that and i was starting to get sick of this for i did not want to be treated like that again not when this girl did not knew a damn thing about me .

we bought heard her mutter under her breath earning our attention and made us wander what she was saying .

"I can't believe I thought you were the

one or rather ones ''

at her words me and Percy stared at her and said back now having bought enough of her high and mighty attitude .

''What's your problem?" we bought told her starting to get angry at her .

''yeah i mean seriously what the heck you don't treat people like this oh is this about what happen the night we arrived here ? are you stupid i think you are for you sure look like you want to think about me and Percy like we did something big we did something big alright .Perce you take it from here i don't want to talk to some one who think's she is more better than us just for doing something we did not really want and simply fought for our lives .''

i told Annie being very angry and annoyed at her and her attitude we bought saw that after i said the words i did Annie remained silent and she looked a bit hurt by my words i did not liked seeing some one like that but i also did not liked to just be talked like i was a fool when i did something that i just tried my best to and also tried to get alive and not end up killed .

''Naruto is right you know i mean all we know is that we killed some bull guy'' i said to her making her look at the two of us and she was annoyed even if she looked upset and this was making me at least more mad than at first .

"Don't talk like that!" Annabeth told me. "You know how many kids at this at this camp wish they'd

had your chance?"

we stared at her snorting with out a care now seeing that she was not only stuck up but crazy as well thinking that what me and Naruto did was something that any kid in this wierd camp wanted to do .

"To get killed?" we responded still showing we where annoyed at her and she with us for she responded with an even tone showing she was angry with us not that we mind what she thought about for we knew we would had been killed by that bull if we would had not worked toghether .

"To fight the Minotaur! What do you think we train for?"

Annie /Annabeth told us as we stared at her hard still thinking that she and this whole camp where insaine for trying to fight against something like that .

''yeah like we said you are training to get killed ,well go ahead then Annie i know that i might have annoyed and teased you a bit when we talked but if you trullly want to go out there then by any means go ahead but you won't last trust me Annie at best you might return with injuries or scars ,at worst you might end up dead some where thanks to this ,so don't go around acting all high hoarse about this when you don't even know what really happen that night ,yeah go fight the minotaur ,go and end up killed more like it ''

i said being very serios as well as angry at what Annie was saying she really did not knew what the heck was she saying sure training was good very good but what good was that if she as well as many others from the camp did not even saw a monster like me and Percy did .

i saw bought of them look at me with surprised looks Percy was more understanding and gave me a nod even if he was a bit surprised that i talked with a girl like that not that i mind or cared for Annie as well as the friends she might have and probably made here where wishing for something that was best to not go up against ,that was not the problem but the mind set that Annie had was for she was angry at the two of us for doing something we did not even wished to and we barely escaped with our lives if Annie where to learn that Grover was almost about to end up dead then i bet she was not going to be so eager wishing to fight against monsters .

Annie was now quiet and had a low down cast expresion i did not knew what was going through her mind but i at least hoped that despite how i reacted towards her words maybe later she would think more better than act before and end up like Luke or worst so damaged that she might have to fight for her life ,thinking about this was trully frigtening not only for Annie but to all of us who where here ,we where all on our own ,but what was even more sad and was starting to make me angry was that maybe there where other kids like us out there in the outside and where defensless who was going to look after them and try to defend them from what me and Percy saw and fought against who was going to do all that for i knew that this camp was un fit to do this not with the mind set that Annie showed ,for this mind set was a suicidal one not even fit of protecting one self or others .

I shook my head. "Look, if the thing we fought really was the Minotaur, the same one in the

stories ..." Annabeth snapped out from her small down side moping gloom and stared at me as well as Naruto bought now paying attention to me as i said that .

''yes ''we heard Annie /Annabeth respond to us as she still wanted to hear what Percy had to say even if i kind of had a thought about what he was about to tell us .

''Then there's only one." i told her while Naruto gave a nod ,again Annabeth gave us a look making us wander what she was going to tell us further for she had that look still being present not shifting it at all .

"Yes." Annie /Annabeth again gave us a simple respons now we where looking at her wanderying if she was doing this unpourpuse or she was trying to mess with us wanting to drone on the thing that she wanted to tell us for some reason ,she was wierd in my opinion i did not knew what Percy thought about her but at least i did thought about this as i was observing her .

"And he died, like, a gajillion years ago, right? Theseus killed him in the labyrinth. So ..."

me and Annie heard Percy talking about this bringing a very good point while he talked but i thought that something like this must be more harder to kill than me and Percy thought off.

''yeah Perce Theseus did kill the minotaur in the labyrinth but i don't think it is that easy i think that monster is probably like how my shadow clones work i mean you can make shadow clones then undo them and make them again so like this maybe the same thing with what we faced is happening meaning we defeat monsters they reform or what ever and then return and so on ''

Annie and Percy where looking at me with impressed expresions Annie more than Percy for i talked about my jutsu that i was using so seeing the look that Annie had i knew she wanted to know more ,Percy who knew about what i was talking had a not very good face for he was looking as if some one just gave him something rotten to eat and now he had a stomach ache .

''shadow clone jutsu ?''Annie said wanting to know more ,i stared at her with a small smile giving a nod now makng her even more intrigued than she was before hearing about the jutsu now her expresion showing she wanted to know what i was talking about .

''i will tell you about it but for now go on for i figured this monster thing up and this is just great very great ''i said to Annie who was at first a bit reluctant to go on but she decided any way after i told her i will talk about it with her if she was about to talk further ,the two saw my expresion that showed i was not happy .i was not happy for i figured out that monsters are not really gone and even if kids like us killed them once they where bound to return sooner or later ,that was so bad and unfair for this was a worst spawning cheat code that i had ever seen before and it made me very unhappy .

''oh so you figure it out huh well i guess you are not so dumb after all wiskers ,any way like wiskers here said "Monsters don't die, Percy. They can be killed. But they don't die.".

now me and Naruto who had been teased by Annabeth making him stare at her not really liking that as much as it was amusing seeing the two go at this again ,hearing about monsters like Naruto also told me was making me feel so great about this whole thing and in trough i was lying for i was not happy about this one bit .

"Oh, thanks. That clears it up."i replied being annoyed Naruto was smiling almost being about to laugh not making things better after hearing something like this from Annabeth .

''well think about it like this these monsters are like the bigest cheaters ever you know for they respawn after you killed them it dose not matter if it right away or not they return any way so what ever happen before is simply for nothing you know like the most annoying bosse's that you have to fight and wont die that is how this monsters are ''

Naruto told us now Annabeth was wierdly looking at him not beliving the annalogy that he made but me i was almost about to laugh but as well i was starting to get ticked off for i knew what Naruto was talking about i did not played to many video games but i went to the arcades from time to time with the small money that i was keeping away from smelly Gabe .

''that is the most wierd analogy i had ever heard about how monsters can't trully be killed but well in a wierd way yes that is the trough in more or less way ''

me and Naruto who saw Annbeth showing a not so very happy expresion explained not really wanting to go on about this for much time for she did not liked the simple explination but we did not care about this for this was more simple to us rather than boring long explinations .

''yeah but it is true for that is what happen with monsters you kill them they respawn back and the same thing happens over and over and over again till well you die while the monsters live '' i said and Percy had a flat look while Annie was not really liking that i put things like this even if they where true for she showed us that she too was not finding this to be a good or nice thing .

''geat this is so much better to know ''i told to Naruto and Annabeth who looked at me Naruto agreeing but shrugging a bit while Annabeth simply accepted that this is how things where which where not good for me at least .

''yes but they ,the monsters i mean they don't have souls, like you and me. You can dispel them for a while, maybe even for a

whole lifetime if you're lucky. But they are primal forces. Chiron calls them archetypes.

Eventually, they re-form."

now i was groaning and about to lower my head ,Naruto did not looked any better for he too was rather upset by this .

we bought thought about Mrs Dodds who Naruto managed to stop from nearly kill us .

''well like i said the most worst abilly ever respowing why would i not have that abillty you know i mean i will respawn every time i get killed sure it is annoying and boring but hey i at least will allways have the last laugh for i will allways return ''

i said to the two at first pouting making Annie smirk at me as well as Percy who was laughing a bit at this but then the two where looking wierdly at me not beliving that i was talking about wanting to have the same abillity as the monsters that where able to return .

Annie was giving me a look wanderying if i was serious but she gave up on the thought from what i saw her ,while Percy was now shaking his head while smiling at me .

You mean if I where to almost be about ending up killing one accidentally, with a sword—"

i replied while thinking about that incident with Mrs Doods and how i was almost about to kill her had it not been for Naruto steping in for me and stoping her in the neck of time .

''then i guess she will be back any way /The Fur ... I mean, your math teacher. That's right. She's still out there.''

Annie and me explained to Percy who now looked like he was starting to understand things a bit we bought stared at Annie when she said the word 'fur'but stoped showing fear we realised that she was going to say fury for that was mrs Alecto was toghether with her sisters .

How did you know about Mrs. Dodds?"i asked not understanding how she was able to know about her ,i saw Annabeth stare at me while Naruto was grining as i asked that question .

"You talk in your sleep."we told Percy who looked at us with a flushed expresion but recompose himself while me and Annie where smirking at him .

"You almost called her something. A Fury? They're Hades' torturers, right?"

we saw Annabeth glanced nervously at the ground, as if she expected it to open up and swallow her.

"You shouldn't call them by name, even here. We call them the Kindly Ones, if we have to speak

of them at all."

we bought rolled our eyes seeing as this being so stupid .i mean yes those monsters where terrefying but still not to worth of being afraid of them like that ,i saw Percy having the same reaction like me after we heard Annie talk about the furies it was wierd to hear them being refered like that .

"Look, is there anything we can say without it thundering?" I sounded whiny, even to myself,

but right then I didn't care. "Why do I have to stay in cabin eleven, anyway? Why is everybody so

crowded together? There are plenty of empty bunks right over there."

Percy had a point but again i had the feeling that things here did not worked like that we saw Annie not looking to happy about what Percy told her and i knew that this was bad .

''Perce that's true but those cabins belong to kids that had been already claimed isn't that right Annie ,that is how the cabins work around here they are filled with kids that belong to one god or goddess'' .

Annie looked at the two of us me a bit showing she was impressed that i figured that out already i liked that for at least now she was starting to see that i was not how she thought i was ,still she had a hard serios look as i said those words and Percy was silent as i said this now him to was starting to understand things a bit even if they where still wierd for him .

I pointed to the first few cabins, and Annabeth turned pale. " like Naruto said You don't just choose a cabin,

Percy. It depends on who your parents are. Or ... your parent."

She stared at us waiting for us or at least me to get it .

"My mom is Sally Jackson," I said. "She works at the candy store in Grand Central Station.

At least, she used to."i said starting to feel sad about this ,Naruto glanced at me showing he understood and even Annabeth felt a small tinge of simpathy after hearing me out .

"I'm sorry about your mom, Percy. But that's not what I mean. I'm talking about your other

parent. Your dad."

right as Annie /Annabeth said that we bought started to sweat earning a stare that was given to us showing intrigue and confusion as well as curiosity as we where being stared at making us sweat and get even more nervouse by the moment .

''oh that is what you meant hehe well uh you see he is uhm how should we put this Perce a litel help here ?/"He's dead. I never knew him."

we bought said in a diferent way with me trying to play the fool while Percy simply said thouse words not even minding or showing enough care i flinced a bit seeing how cold Percy was acting but after what happen and what i also seen from that guy Gabe i did not blame him for having a reaction like this .

''hm strainge you two know something isn't it ?'' we heard Annie /Annabeth say to us now observing us more closely we tried to not give ourselves away for things would look bad if she where to figure out who Percy's dad is while with me well things where even more greater for i was my mom's son and she was a very powerfule goddess that just happen to rule over the sun it self .

''no we don't really right Perce ?/yeah that's right why would we beside like i said my dad is dead and Naruto's mom is ,my mom is dead too as well as my dad so i am an orphan but it's ok i managed till now .

we bought told Annie /Annabeth who looked at us like she wanted to break that thought away though she did showed surprise after hearing what Naruto said ,even i was feeling a bit bad for him being all alone .

we saw Annabeth sighed. Clearly, she'd had this conversation before with other kids. "Your father's

not dead, Percy."

we bought stiffed not wanting her to go on or she might make us spill the beans and who knows that paranoid jerk was going to do to us seeing as he tried to wipe us out the other night we went on our way twoards this place .

we saw the wierd look that it was being given now making us look even more nervous than before ,but Annie /Annabeth did not said anything and simply dismissed the matter for some reason we sighed in relif thanking who ever was out there for not being found out by her .

How can you say that? You know him?"i said more like blurting that out when Naruto gave me a look that said to me something like ''really did you had to ask Annie something like that it is like you want to be found out that you are that god's son ''seeing the look even if it was silent it made me nervous for i was almost about to ask Annabeth if she knew my dad who knowing her of course she knew who he was .

"No, of course not."when we heard that we stared at Annie/Annabeth then at each other wanderying if she was just kiding or telling us the trough we stared at her for a minute when she did the same now starting to get wiered out by us looking silenty at her while thinking about what she just said .

we give up realsing that she probably did not knew that Percy /me i,was the son of mr Posaidon/Posaidon which was a good thing for the two of us for we where safe for the time being .

Then how can you say—" i asked wanting to know but also tried to not give my self away even Naruto was silent though he was silently teling me to whatch out for it was a bit obvious that i was almost about to give my self away .

"Because I know you. You wouldn't be here if you weren't one of us."

we stared at Annie /Annabeth who said that and it was freaky how she said something like this to the two of us Naruto was fine but me i felt shivers starting to go through my spine as she said thouse words that sounded so haunting like an ominous revelation .

''you know Annie with how you said things you should probably try to play in scary movies you know for those words really are spooky when you are telling them like this really you made Perce here be scare of you and frankely i am a bit too brrr you sure know how to set the mood for a scary part in a conversation ''

Annie /Annabeth stared at us while she was having a red face showing she was embarest making us snicker at her while she was trying to get her bearing back and go on where we interupted her but Naruto /i had/have a point when he said that about Annabeth for i was geting a bit scared of her my hair and even expresion as well as body where reacting showing i was feeling rather uneasy as she was talking ,i felt the same even if i was not as affected as Percy for i was used to frighening stuff more than him but Annie was very good at this for she made me shiver a bit making the hair on my arms starting to stand up while i was geting a bit uneasy and sweaty .

''uh shut up wiskers i did no such thing but really do you think i could be able to play in something so cheasy like that please i don't see my self doing something like this ''

Annie /Annabeth told us though looking at her we saw that she had the looks of a good movie star at the moment though in the future well we bought knew that she was probably going to be a great movie actrice with her good looks she was guaranteed to make it to the big screen .

''we totally do belive you would be able to make it ''we blurted that out now looking at one another then started to laugh while Annie/Annabeth looked at us with a surprised startelled look showing embaresment as well after hearing us out .

''uh what ? really ? wow ok you two are wierd but no i don't trully se my self like that i mean it is a lot of hard work and a lot of rules to follow not to mention the papparazzi and the tabloides that is a lot of hassel to handel so no thank you .''

Annie/Annabeth said to us with a blunt direct tone showing she did not really enjoyed thinking about being a movie star though we saw her that she did not dislike the ideea either but she was not very thrilled about some things we smirked seeing the expresion she had for it was obvious that as much as she disliked this the ideea in it self was not to bad .

''yeah right /sure it is a hassel to handel for you '' we teased Annie/Annabeth who stared at us with an annoyed expresion wanting to shout at us or tried to go for the strikes we did not knew what she was really thinking but we did not dismiss her to think at bought .

''shut up bought of you honestly you are acting imature ,well oh wait but you are imature already so this is a normal thing for the two of you ''Annie /Annabeth said trying to get back at us for trying to tease her about telling her that she was not really worried about having that much of a hassell if she where to be a movie star but she did not wishe to do something like that .

we ignored her not wanting to listen to her words for she was also annoying at least to me not that much to Naruto seeming as he was starting to have a crush on her it was obvios .

''says you who thinks is so smart but you aren't ''i said while earning a stunned look from Annie who was not to happy hearing this from me for she was staring at me with her steal gray look making her eyes and expresion appear scary even Percy was feling a bit uneasy seeing the look .

''wiskers did you say something for i felt a buzzing in my ears and i did not quite catch that so do you think you can repeat your self again hmm '' Annie said with a small smile but the expresion as well as scary aura that was starting to form behind her was enough to make me clam up for i honestly saw Annie like she would want to skewere me alive and even skin me while having a creepy smiling expresion ,that was not bad or the worst what was where her eyes for it felt like they where litterally glowing as she was looking at Percy and me scaring us bought .

''uhm well hehe what do you know ,no thanks i don' t want to do that thank you i am good Annie what about you Percy are you trying to say something ?''

i nervosly responded not wanting to make Annie mad for she was terrefiying if she wante to be glancing at Percy i saw him that him too was reacting in a similar manner wanting to stay silent .

''uh nope i m fine really very fine in fact ''i said as well not wanting to mess with this girl for i was not very good at fighting so i knew when i was in a losing battel taking Nancy on was one thing for she was a bully but trying to take this girl on it felt like i was going to lose before i was able to do something .

we saw Annie/Annabeth smile at us showing us a smirk that was satisfactory to her showing she wanted to be superior to the two of us which was not nice at all .

''good boys now where was i before being rudely intrerupted ah yes i was trying to tell you two that your parents at least one of them is not dead and that you two are demi gods like the rest of us ''.

we stared at Annie/Annabeth who said that giving her flat looks for it was as if she was thinking that the two of us where similar to dogs but that was far from the trough for we where not like that at all .

You don't know anything about us ''we told Annie/Annabeth . the way she was looking at us was a bit wierd and unraveling for she was giving the two of us a'is that what you think so 'look as if she already knew almost everything about us just from observing us .

"No?" She raised an eyebrow. "I bet you moved around from school to school. I bet you were

kicked out of a lot of them."

me and Naruto stared at Annabeth not beliving what she had said we did not even told her a thing and this girl at least when it came to me at least she described very well how my life went till now .

i was very spooked thanks to Annie who told us something like that ,unlike Percy i was not kicked out from any school or had to move from the village but i was not really a bright or good student for i was pranking people for they did not liked me ,sure i was not allways like that but even so i was not liked ,so in a small way Annie was right when she said the words she did .

"How—'' we asked staring at her with stunned expresions though we saw her satisfide expresion that was not making us feel any better for she was showing the two of us that she trully was more better than the bought of us and that was embaresing to the bought of us .

"Diagnosed with dyslexia. Probably ADHD, too." after saying that we simply realised that she was very good ,i don't know what Percy thought about Annie but me well i knew this girl was not only very smart but she really had skills so she was able to be one heck of a detective as well as a movie actrices .

''wow you are freaky you know that you should really stop reading those arhitecture books and try to be a detective instead i mean with how easy you realised that me and Percy have this problems it is very freaky you know .''

Percy agreed even if he was smiling as if i said something very funny ,we saw Annie staring at us not really saying a thing but she was surprised by what i said to her when i sugested that she should be a detective and not an arhitect .

''uh what ? really first you ask me to be a movie actrice and now a detecive you really are something wiskers ''Annie told me making me smirk at her while Percy smiled at what Annie said to me .

''at least you would be a very good detective you know ''i told Annabeth who stared at me wanderying if i was serious or joking ,in trough i was simply saying this as joke and not so serious .

''hm i think i would be i mean with my intelegence it will be simple to reveal clues and find criminals unlike normal detectives ''we heard Annie/Annabeth speak even if it was more in a wisper ,we looked at one another smirking seeing how Annabeth was acting .

''yeah i bet you will a great detective i mean you are smart and cute so why not give this a shot when you will be older i mean i bet that you will be allowed if you know how to plan ahead .''

Percy hearing what i said snickered at my words even if i was some what serios about this ,Annie was embarest after hearing what i said about this ideea and she was probably trying to think about it for she was silent trying to ignore us .

''this is a great way at least you distract her ''i wisperd to Naruto who smiled at my retort though it was right away as i said this that Annabeth stared at the two of us as if she was able to hear us ,well maybe that was more because we where standing close to her so it was a bit obvios that she was able to hear us .

''really distract who ,you have to try better than this Jackson if you wish to try distracting me '' we bought smiled at Annabeth /Annie seeing as she had descoverd what i have said about trying to distract her .

''you are good you know ''i said earning a smile form Annie who looked like she wanted to say something smug but she refraim from saying it .

''why thank you wiskers now stop interupting me with silly ideeas ok ''Annie /Annabeth said showing she was geting tierd of being side tracked we stared at her smirking for we did liked side tracks .

''sure ''we told her starting to laugh at what she told us earning an eye roll probably because she was thinking that we where imature or something ,not that we mind for we where not but we wanted to have fun and not be sticks in the mud .

''really ? is this the best retort you two where able to come up with !'' Annie/Annabeth told us showing she was not finding this to be funny ,we simply grinned while looking at her for this was the ideea meaning we wanted to make her show us that she was not amused so that we could smile and grin about this wanting to show that she was a stick in the mud unlike the two of us .

''yeah ,that's right ''we told her still grining ,when Annie /Annabeth stared at us and spoke with out even beating a beat .

''your heads are full of kelp ''hearing her saying this we bought stared at her not knowing what to say for this was very good even if it was wierd .

''and your head if full of books Annie so takes one to know one '' i told her smirking taking her by surprise at this Percy smirked liking this for it was a good comback .

''ha ha how amusing you two are you are so funny that you think you are comediants ''Annie/Annabeth said with a sarcastic tone as well as expresion though we where not affected like she would had liked .

''yes we are thank you for notice this Annie '' i responded while grining at her as Percy smiled lightly at my retort ,we saw Annie having a flat expresion showing she was sarcastic as she was looking at us .

''sure what ever you say wiskers ,now i want to get from where i left of if you don't mind ''

Annie /Annabeth told us showing she was not in the mood to take a few jokes ,we bought hang our heads at this seeing as this was so boring and not fun .

''ok fine Annie what ever man you are so boring you know ,isn't that right ? Percy ?'' i asked him with a grining smile making him react and give a nod agreeing having a teasing smile .

''ugh what ever can we get a move on i have other things to do other than stay here with you two '' Annie /Annabeth said showing she was really starting to get tierd of mine and Naruto's company .

''sure ,what ever '' we told her not really minding leting her understand something that she was quite greatfule from what we saw .

''finally and you two are not as fun as you think you are ''Annabeth /Annie told us with a blunt tone showing she was not amused at all ,not that we minded what she thought about the two of us for we where funny when we wanted to be .

''ok so What does that have to do with anything?"i asked after i thought about me and even Naruto learning that we where hyper active as well as dyslexic .

''yeah i mean we did not really wanted this you know ''i also said showing i was a bit serios after Percy started .

"Taken together, it's almost a sure sign. The letters float off the page when you read, right?

That's because your mind is hardwired for ancient Greek. And the ADHD—you're impulsive,

can't sit still in the classroom. That's your battlefield reflexes. In a real fight, they'd keep you

alive. As for the attention problems, that's because you see too much, Percy, not too little. Your

senses are better than a regular mortal's. Of course the teachers want you medicated. Most of

them are monsters. They don't want you seeing them for what they are."

hearing Annie out we started to understand that she probably went through similar things we thought that this was quite annoying if not boring to explain for who knows how long .

''wait you said that our minds are hardwiered for ancient greek but i don't feel any conexion at all i don't feel that funny feeling when i am around any thing that is greek but when i was at the museum with Percy when i walked around and saw a diferent side of the gallary with diferent statuse of diferent gods i felt that tingly feeling i felt it even when i saw weapons such as katana's bo staff's kusarigana's and so on ,so i guess that my mind is not hairdwier like your mind is i think my brain is hairdwierd to ancient japanease for i can read kanji very easy and not see words geting jumbelled up .''

Annie as well as Percy where looking at me with intrigue Percy was a bit more understanding for i told him and ms Jakson about my mom ,Annie on the other hand was staring at me with not only intrigue but also as if she was trying to understand what i have told her .''

''oh this is very intersting so you are saying that your mind is not hairdwiered to ancient greek but japanease then this means that you are a demi god from the Shinto pantheon aren't you ? very intersting so this means that either your mom or dad was a god or goddess from that pantheon ,how amazing a demi god from a diferent pantheon .''

me and Percy where silently observing Annie who told me this making me nervouse as how she was gazing me as if to her i was a sudden subject that she might had want to study ,i gluped a bit for that was scary to think about .

''uh maybe but uh can you please stop talking about this like that you will mostely find out when the time will be right and by the way it is my mom and she is very important goddess in the shinto pantheon as you said it ,she told me that when she visitd me ,and i also saw her statue at the museum .''

i told the two at first being nervous wanting to not talk about this for i wanted to let the others find out who my mom was yet ,Annie seeing that i was nervouse she stopped showing she was a bit embarest though she looked quite intrigued when she heard about my mom and that i talked with her and even told her as well as Percy that i talked with her well more like her statue .

''oh this is intriguing so you talked with your mom and you said that she is a very important person in the shinto pantheon well if you said that the trough will be revealed then i won't pester you '' Annie said and i was glad about this for i really did not want to talk about it yet .

"You sound like ... you went through the same thing?" i asked after i listened to what Naruto talked with Annabeth and i had to interupt before Naruto was going to tell her more seeing as he wanted to keep our parents a secret from the camp .

i glanced at Percy who said this now knowing that he was trying to stop me from talking more about who my mom was and i had to agree with his ideea for i did not want to reveal that for the moment ,Annie who heard Percy responded like she was very familiar with this stuff.

"Most of the kids here did. If you weren't like us, you couldn't have survived the Minotaur,

much less the ambrosia and nectar."

we looked at her not geting what she said when she talked about the last thing for the first part we got it for who was able to survive that thing if there where not people like us to fight that thing but the last part we did not really get it .

"Ambrosia and nectar."we asked Annie/Annabeth looking intriguinly at her as we asked her about that when she responded to us not finding this to be that big of a problem .

"The food and drink we were giving you to make you better. That stuff would've killed a

normal kid. It would've turned your blood to fire and your bones to sand and you'd be dead. Face

it. You're a half-blood.

Annie/Annabeth told us now we where bought intrigued me unlike Percy was thinking about ramen for it was so delicious to me that being this food of the gods and not what Annie told us ,still we did not really liked what we heard if we where to eat or drink more of that stuff if we where about to turn to dust and burn away .

i saw Percy now reacting in a strainge way but the same feeling he had i did too a bit and it was wierd as she said this refering to the two of us being half bloods for we knew what this was meaning to the bought of us .

A half-blood.

I was reeling with so many questions I didn't know where to start.

Then a husky voice yelled, "Well! A newbie!"

I looked over. The big girl from the ugly red cabin was sauntering toward us. She had three

other girls behind her, all big and ugly and mean looking like her, all wearing camo jackets.

''oh look if it isn't clarisse i see you brought your friends as well ,let me guess war girl you want to give Percy here your so called initiation isn't it ?''

when i saw clarisse and her siblings they where looking at us with a sneering smile showing they wanted to hurt us or more like Percy ,Annie was sighing not wanting to deal with the girl or her siblings only Percy was confused by this whole thing not geting what was going on .

''oh would you look at this if it isn't wiskers want to have a second round after the first time we meet i will not lose so easily this time around just so you know '' clarisse told me with a serios as well as smirking tone while her friends where noding showing the same smirks .

i smirked as well when feeling like wanting to tease them i said back.

''is that so ? i don't think you would dare take me on a second time i mean with three jutsu i brought you down or the name shadow clone jutsu as well as transformation jutsu and my own sexy jutsu do not bring a bell ,for they do for me war girl and i do rember that you lost so considerably or do you want to do the same thing i did to you again .''

now Annie and Percy where looking at me not geting what i was saying even wierd was that the two saw claris flintch and show a red face as she heard my words she glared at me as if she wanted to chase me around and beat me to a pulp for what i did to her but she did nothing though she really was trying her hardest to not look at me as she was geting flustered .

''ah s s shut up wiskers you just manage to get me off guard nothing more if you think that you turning in to a naked girl and then multiply and dare to get all touchy with me was counting as a victory then you are worng dead wrong .''

clarisse said growling at me with a red face while her friends where just as embarest for they too rembered what i did to their leader ,this made me laugh for even if clarisse was trying to act tough she was very embarest .

''you what ,what the heck Naruto you d did something like this ?'' i along side Annabeth asked bought staring in disbelif at Naruto as well as embarest for he told us something like this with out even being worried about this .

we saw him grin at us showing he was not even bothered that he used something wierd and perhaps humiliating against some one else .

''yup of course i did i mean this is a very great jutsu you could ask clarisse she went down right after i started to tease her geting quite close and personal with her '' i said to the two with a teasing smile winking at clarisse who was starting to turn beat red and she growelled a bit at me wanting to kick my butt for what i did to her .

''what ? y y y yo actually did that ? uh wow you are full of surprise's wiskers ''

Annie said at first she stuttered showing she was embarest which was funny and cute seeing such a reaction but i liked it more when Annie was embarest for she looked more preatty like that and more easy to tease as well as trying to get closer too than when she was her normal self . Percy stared at me in disbelife gawking at what i said and did in the end he shaked his head knowing that i was like that he smiled making me respond as well bought of us starting to grin much to the wierdness of the girls who where looking at us not really feeling that affected by what me and Percy did .

''yup you bet i am just as the usual i am an awsome amazing person ''i said while Annie was rolling her eyes at me giving me a sarcasting expresion showing she was not that impressed by my words ,not that i minded for this was something that only i was able to understand and do as best i could .

''really Naruto you are so modest you know ?''i told him with a slight tone of sarcasam though i did not really meant much for Naruto was funny as he said this .

''really Percy you are so modest as well saying something like this your sarcasam is very well noticed ''i told Percy with a small look that was a bit flat ,Percy gave me a small sheepish look .

''what ever we did not came here for this you know so take your fest some where else wiskers i would like to deal with you first but i think your friend should be first you know ''

we heard clarisse earning our attention we saw her sneearing at us wanting to pick a fight with us but she was targeting Percy more than me or Annie .

''oh sorry that we interupted you war girl please by all means use your bully strengh and try to intimidate us for we are so scare of you and your friends ''Percy me and Annie began to laugh at this while clarisse and her two friends where not happy about me making fun of them they where looking as if they wanted to put us in our place like a tipicall bully would .

''whatch it wiskers you will get it some of these days if you are not carfule ''clarisse told me with a warning while Percy and Annie where worried about me i was smirking at clarisse not being intimidated by her .

''i am not afraid of you just cause you are her dad dose not mean i am afraid of him or you so whatch it as well for i will take you down if you are not carfule ''i retorted now surprising Annie who was not really expecting me to react like this ,even Percy was staring not doing anything for he knew how i was when i was geting mad or iritated .

clarisse and her friends where giving me pointed menacing stares wanting to hopefule scare me i simply smirked at them when wanting to intimidate them i threw them a steal cold look showing the three i was not messing around wanting to really take my intimidation serios i let my chakra loose making my body show a blue bright glow .

i saw that Annie was looking at me with great surprise while Percy knew that things will not end well for he was already tense knowing that i was going to not let some one like clarisse and her friends to simply try their intimidation games on me ,i saw them starting to get nervous and take a few steps back already knowing this was going to be a bad ideea .

wanting to mess a bit with them focusing a bit in my right palm a bright black flame that was very hot appared ,this shocked Annie ,clarisse and her friends and where now looking at my black flames that where burning in my hand wanderying probably what i was about to do with them ,i set them loose throwing the ball of flames twoard the ground where clarisse and her friends where ,that made them jump and yell as well when they stared at me showing they where very annoyed and even angry but they where also intimidated .

the flames where burning away looking very beutifule as well as very deadly ,Annie was staring at me in disbelif not understanding how i was able to do something like this ,Percy was awed too as he was looking at the flames though he started to shiver probably rembering what i did to the minotaur after i shocked it till it was roasted and then set him ablaze wanting to see him wiped out from the face of the earth as punishment for what he did to ms Jackson .

''now do you see i am not afraid of you nor your dad i destroid the minotaur with Percy's help i roasted that whortless thing and set him ablaze like i did now sending him away from this world like i will do to you three if you trifell with me i will burn you and then if you survive i will cook you so bad and hard that you will end up as crisped bodies and then like what happen to that miserable cow i will set you on fier and whatch you burn till not even ash will remain of you three ''

i told the three bulies with a very serios cold tone that was becoming even colder talking about what i did to the minotaur as well as how i really thought of him while showing a sinister smiling gaze at the three bullies who started to get scared and where also losing color form their faces as i went on showing a very creepy frightening look that showed my wierd but also delight at having thoughts about the words that i said towards clarisse and her friends who where moving even more back than at first looking almost about to flee away before i was going to probably roast and burn then alive seeing that i was very deadly serious about this for i smiled at them very creepily showing that i was not one to kid around about something like this .

''uh N Naruto maybe y you should not try to do something like this here you know ?''

i said to him now after trying to calm down for seeing Naruto like this talking and looking like that was starting to scare the living daylights out of me i was sweaty and shiervering while i had a pale face not beliving how easy Naruto was talking about how he burned the minotaur and wanted to do the same to those three girls i was starting to get a bit well a bit more scared now after seeing the way Naruto was behaving .

i was not the only one for Annabeth too was shivering and had a spooked expresion now looking at Naruto as if she did not get what was wrong with him seeing his wierd nearly nuts reaction .

''ah Percy well you might have a point as fun as this will be there is no point in trying to do something like this to three bullies after all there are better ways of taking them down though they should really be carfule after all who knows how things might end up for them ''.

i said after what Percy said to me he had a point about me not having to start killing for this was a camp after all i did though left a warning hanging for clariss and her friends who where not very happy about what i told them hering the threat i gave them but they wisely shuted up and did nothing to make things worst for themselves .

''good glad i stoped you from starting to kill people here for a moment i really thought you where going to do that you know .''i told him after sighing a bit in relif he glanced at me as if he did not minded or cared about what i said which was quite wierd and not very good but i did not wished to start thinking about this for it was something that was better not being find out .

''what ever it's not like i would had done that anyway probably nearly kill thouse three yes but actually kill them please they are not even spares for me to do that so that's all no killing beside i don't really feel like doing something like that .''i replied now wanting to forget about this ,Percy and Annie where looking at me with unease for i did said that i wanted to nearly kill clariss and her friends but then i chained my mind not wanting to do that simply telling the two that the three bullies where not worth it and it was true ,we saw how this made clariss very mad for she was looking as if she wanted to murder me like her friends did despite what happen but i did not mind them or what they thought for if they wanted to be killed so badely than i was going to aublage them very much only to see the looks on their faces when they would be as good as dead and about to depart from the world of the living .

''sheesh wiskers you are quite scary for a few moments i thought that you really where about to go through with this and what is the deal with these black flames anyway ?''

Annie asked after giving me a look showing she was not very thriled about what i was about to do and said to clarisse and her friends she asked me about the flames that belonged to my mother and i was silent about this not wanting to talk about it with her for the moment .

''don't worry i am not that scary and these flames that you are seeing well they are gift i guess from my mom ''i said to Annie who looked at me wanting to know more but saw that i was not about to come forth so she droped the matter .

now we got our gazes twoards clarisse who was very ticked off at me for what i did when Annie said to her while sighing .

"Clarisse,''we heard Annie /Annabeth say starting to talk earning the attention of the girl

"Why don't you go polish your spear or something?" at the words i was almost about to laugh seeing that Annie said this now this was nothing wierd for it was just a sugestion but in a way it also meant some thing else entierly i snikered and gave Annie a shrewed smile this now starting to get intersting hearing such words from her .

i was surprised when Annabeth said this in a way straingely this sounded bouth wierd and ominously as well as a joke that was crude i saw the smirk Naruto had and i knew that he was thinking probably at the same thing as i did .

"Sure, Miss Princess," we heard the big girl saying this with a mocking tone going on .

"So I can run you through with it Friday night."she finished though this made us stare at her and then we bought started to laugh well i was wierded out and a bit scared thinking that this girl was nuts for talking like this ,i was also intrigued by what she meant when she said friday night but i let it be for now thinking that it was probably something that was going on here at this camp .

hearing the words right away i started to laugh for this was so crude but also so simple it was obviouse that Clarisse was a pervert just like Annie for the two talked like that when one brought out the other girl's spear that was her weapon and Clariss finished ,it was obviouse that there was tension betwin the two girls and they where taking it out on each other but in such a blunt way and right in front of me and Percy this was a thing that showed the two girls had no shame ,talking about stuff like that while we where around .

''really Annie ,Clarisse you are talking about something like this how shamefule and naughty of you two talking about things like these while me and Percy are here ''

the two girls as well as Percy stared at me after saying this not saying a thing for a few moments when right away i saw that Annie ,as well as Clarisse had red faces they where glaring at me wanting to hit me ,Percy was embarest as well but he did not let it bother him .

''wiskers '' the two shouted at me geting my attention showing them a grining smile .

''what the heck are you saying ,yeah you are so going to pay for this you wiskered brat ''

they went on with Annie staring at me with a blushing exprsion that showed she was annoyed while Clarisse who was embarest as well threatened me wanting to beat me to a pulp her expresion showing she was very eagerd to do that .

''hey it's not my fault that you two started to talk about spears and polish them and runing through people with them '' i said defensevly earning more embaresing expresions from bought Annie who was looking sheepish after hearing me out while Clarisse while she looked away she began to grumbel but me and Percy who was smiling very brightly thanks to my words saw that she was embarst .

''honestly wiskers how in gods name have you even thought about that to begin with i did not meant that you know ''Annie said to me and Percy while having a red face that made us smile brightly at her for we knew she did not trully mean things like that but she did thought about them or other wise she would had not said the words polish and spear in the same sentance .

''sure you didn't ''we told her earning an annyoing look from her when she mumbelle something to us as well to Clarisse .

''Erre es korakas!" Annabeth said, which I somehow understood was Greek for 'Go to the

crows!' though I had a feeling it was a worse curse than it sounded.

i looked at Annie who said that word and thought about it but not geting it i turned twoards Percy wanting to know what was said .

''what the heck did Annie said to us any way ?''

i heard Naruto asking me for he did not understood i was a bit nervouse to tell him that but i decided though i hoped he was not going to get to mad at this .

''uh well Annabeth just told us to 'go to the crows ' i think she just told us to go to hell or something like that or maybe another cursing word that is bad i don't know ''

Naruto was surprise well i did not mind the insult even if i thoght it was probably bad but still i did not liked it that much either for i was insulted as well .

''hey Annie that wasn't nice you know cursing is bad don't you know that maybe you should wash your mouth with soap if you don't get it ''i told her with a flat look while she looked unphased ,Percy was starting to almost laugh at what i said for he did not thought about me being able to say words like that .

''oh shut up you really is that the best you could come up with well what ever ."You don't stand a chance." Annie /Annabeth replied with an annoyed tone stoping me and Naruto from saying something for the girl was starting to get mad we saw her also tell Clarisse that annoying her as well for she retorted .

"We'll pulverize you," Clarisse said, but her eye twitched. Perhaps she wasn't sure she could

follow through on the threat. from what we saw ,she then turned twoards me as well as Naruto even from the distance we where when she spoke while trying to not look at Naruto probably for what he did a few moments ago when he was threatened by her .

"Who's this little runt?"we heard her rudely asked even from afar i was geting annyoed at this girl for i was not a runt ,Naruto smiled a bit annyoing me for he was supose to be on my side .

"Percy Jackson," Annabeth said, "meet Clarisse, Daughter of Ares."

I blinked. "Like ... the war god?" i said being quite blunt for i was intrigued ,i saw Naruto starting to laugh while Annabeth stared at me shaking her head sighing .

''yeah that's right Percy that is exactly right the three girls who are in front of us are the kids of that babon who is nothing but a cave man who has a very very minuscule brain if he even has one to begin with he simply is a jerk and bully who dose not know the meaning of maners but what will you expect from a monkey like him ,he should go to the zoo and stay in a cage while demanding bananas all day around .''

Annie and Percy gaped at me Percy starting to almost burst in tears and nearly started to laugh at my words while Annie was gaping at me for insulting a god like that but i did not mind or cared for that thing was no god but a bully who was oversized and nothing more .

''why you ,wiskers you are going to pay for this i swear i am going to murder you for the insults you have said ''we heard Clarisse say showing she was not kiding i was not worried for i knew how to take care of my self ,Percy was a bit intimidate by the threats that where sent twoards me .

''is that all you don't frighten me Clarisse if you are so eger to kill me then go ahead but rember i will kill you as well if you try to do this to me so let's see who will kill who first and who will just end up dead .''i said to her being dead serios now making the air around tense the girl was still angry but i was seeing a small glint of hesitation and even fear when i told her that i will kill her now this not being a joke but something real and very serious .

''woah hold on now you two stop it ,this is no joke what the heck are you even saying wiskers really stop antagonising people or you will end up in a lot of troubel ,and you Clarisse stop this don't get goaded in to a scuffelle '' Annie/Annabeth said to Naruto/me trying to stop him /me from doing something that was already going to end up badely .

i was not really upset by all this for it was fine with me for it meant that Clarisse was going to have her butt handed to her the hard way and in so she was going to think a few times before trying to even dare mess with me ever again .

i saw Naruto being calm not having a problem with what Clarisse told him seeing very well that he wanted to probably trully do what the girl said she will do to him ,this was making me uneasy for like Annabeth said this was no joke ,we bought saw her being worried as well as annoyed at Naruto who was simply not minding what he had did nor what was going on .

''stay out of this princess this is betwin the brat and me he will pay for insulting my dad Ares ,she is right Annie stay out of this i mean this will get bloody and messy soon enough and i am going to pay ? ha yeah right like that will happen ,nope it will be you who will be killed instead of me be sure of that .''

saying this shocked Annie and Percy who where staring at me thinking that i was joking or just thinking about this whole thing and not actually be able to go through this thing but i was decisive to go through with it and beat Clarisse no matter what .

''ok that's it wiskers stop it i mean it you had your fun but this is way beyond it so drop it or i will tell Chiron about this and then we will see what you will do after he will hear you out as well as Clarisse regurding what bought of you are trying to do ''

Annie was now very serios i sighed for i did not want to get in that much troubel if Annie was going to report this i gave up seeing as this was not worth the time or effort not that i was really about to kill Clarisse but rather intimidate her badely so that she won't try to mess with me yeah but really kill her i was not a murdurer even if i was a ninja .

''tsk figures that owle head will try to do that run to Chiron why don't you and sneak out on us just like a perfect princess you make me vomit ,what ever i don't care ''

we heard Clarisse who was very angry and ticked off insulting Annabeth who simply glared at her while we said nothing we saw her then look at our direction again now having a sneere while she spoke again but to Percy this time .

"You got a problem with that?"

"No," I said, recovering my wits. "It explains the bad smell."

at that me and Percy smirked for this was a good insult just as good as my insults when it came to that god who was Clarisse's dad .

Clarisse growled. "We got an initiation ceremony for newbies, Prissy."

we heard her and i knew what this was about but i smirked already knowing this was not going to end up good for Clarisse ,Annie simply was now looking like she wanted to be any where but here for she was annoyed at us ,Percy was not liking the way he had been insulted so he responded to her .

"Percy."i said wanting to make the girl understand but she did not mind my words .

Whatever. Come on, I'll show you."

Clarisse said already wanting to take Percy away to try and humiliate him i was not worried for i knew how things where going to end .i saw Annie being ready to say something wanting to stop Clarisse from trying to do the initiation to Percy .

"Clarisse—" i heard Annabeth trying to say when the bully said back .

"Stay out of it, wise girl."

we saw Annabeth looked pained, but she did stay out of it, and I didn't really want her help. I was the

new kid. I had to earn my own rep.

i saw Percy handing the minotaur horn to Annie who did not liked this she took it and was holding it in her left hand i smile at Percy seeing that he was doing something like this showing he was not going to intimidate by any one before he was going to fight i told him .

''have faith and you will win ,and if you want to win fast then do what you did when we fought against the minotaur use your water powers and you will win ''i heard Naruto saying this to me trying to encourage me i was nervouse but rembering what he refered at i gave a nod having a small smirk for i knew that Clarisse was going to end up with a surprise .

we saw Clarisse who was with her three goons walking twoards us with a smirk that was vicious but i saw that Naruto was not worried unlike Annabeth ,this was making me feel quite good about this ,i got ready and was about to start this fight but first wanting to get read of the two goons i shut my eyes for a few moments and then i thought about what i did to Nancy when me ,Naruto and Grouver where at the museum and then in the night when we fought agaisnt the minotaur ,thinking about water and how i wanted to help me in the fight i imagined it jump in and push the goons away ,when i open my eyes i was seeing ,

Clarisse being in front of me wanting to put me in a hold right away i jumped back when it happen again water answered to my call now feeling my body becoming more stronger than before my eyes chainging their color from emeral to bright blue like the ocean .

right away water was around and seeing this i smiled for it felt so familiar and so warm as well as good right away i looked at the two goons who now where so surprised by this that they started to take steps back when they saw my serene expresion that was just like the sea but also very powerfule just seeing the two girls staring in to my bright blue glowing eyes they froze and started to shiver in fear i smiled seeing this and the last thing the two girls saw was a powerfule wave of water hiting them straight in their face as well as bodies sending them flying much to the shock of Clarisse who was now gaping at me taking a few steps back standing still and staring at me in disbelif not understanding how was i doing something like this .

''wha what the fuck how did you even i don't how ?''

Clarisse who was still gaping at what Percy did showed she was not geting what was happening and this was so funny to see for now that girl was at a lost for words and she now was not looking so tough as she did a few moments ago ,even Annie was amazed by what she was seeing but she right away started to analise Percy for she saw the water listening to him and his eyes where not green but now they where bright blue glowing like the water of the sea or ocean .

''go on Percy show Clarisse and Annie your power show them who you really are forget about trying to hide these guys are trying to mess with us let's show them we are not guys to be messed with ''.

i shouted at Percy showing a very excited eagerd expresion that drew a look from Annie who was staring at me showing that i was to eager about something though she did showed a stare twoards me after hearing my words .

while i was about to take care of Clarisse i overhead Naruto shouting at me telling me to stop trying to hide and just show who i really was it was wierd to hear this from him for i wanted to hid this as well as know more but i thought that maybe a small show of my powers was not going to be to bad for at least then Clarisse was not going to mess with me again and if she thought of it then i would had showed her who i really was and make her think three times before trying to do something like this .

again i wield the water and now it was around me much to Clarisse surprise who was simply staring at me not really wanting to attack after what she saw ,this was good for me for taking advantage of that i formed while thinking about who my dad was a trident from the very water that was around me and started to spin it .

''what ? no way t t tha triden that is ,no way y your friend i i is h h his son but how i i thought he did not oh stix this is not good ''

Annie was now shocked and was gaping at Percy not beliving that he was the son of mr Posaidon it was so funny seeing the nearly gaping almost broken look that Annie had not beliving this .

''yup Percy is mr Posaidon son he belongs in cabin 3 in fact so he is not undetermined as you all think but he did not sent a sign yet but i think he will after what we saw for we meet the fates and they warned of times that will be hard from now on for the mad gramps who is in the freaking pit is now trying to get out and to do this he staged a war betwin the jerk of the sky and percy's dad with the baboon form cabin 5 turned traitor and is helping the mad grampa to get the bolt that was stolen by one of you and no it is not me and Percy for the theft happen last year .''

i explained things to Annie who was looking at me like a fish who was out of water first at the revelation that Percy was mr Posaidon's son then at how we meet the three fates stunning and nearly making Annie pass out in shock as well as fear at hearing this ,then when i talked about the mad titan who was trying to rise as well as how the lightning bolt was stolen and who was helping out with this by trying to help that monster through a staged battelle betwin mr Posaidon and the jerk of the fluufs that was whining like a moron over his boom stick .

Annie was at first shocked then she was more shocked and finally she was about to faint when she thought about all that i told her but i was managing to hold her before falling to the ground and pass out .

''wha what .oh my are you serios about what you said regurding your friend ,and how you meet the fates and how the lightning bolt was stolen and are you very sure that the titan king is trying to rise and Ares is trying to help him ? as well this being all a war staged by the titan of time ?'' Annie asked now shouting rapid questions showing she wanted to know if i was serious or just making a bad joke about this .

''uh yeah my mom told me about this and me as well as Percy saw Alecto she was our math teacher but she was undercover for the lord of the dead belives that Percy has some how stolen not only the lightning bolt but also the man's helm .''

Annie who was so shocked about not only being right but also about what i told her when i refered to why mrs Alecto who was one of the furies was at the school where Percy as well as i had been till now have been there infiltrated ,Annie was now so wide eyed and so surprised as well as stunned that she was almost about to pass out not beliving that not only the lightning bolt but a second godly object had been stolen .

''dear gods who could had i mean if this is true then things are very bad not only that the lightning bolt was stolen but even the helm of darkness this is not good there will be war for sure ,this is not good Chiron will need to be notefied right away we have to stop this who ever is behind this before we will all be in danger .''

Annie who was very pale and shaking spoke wanting to go and tell mr Chiron about what i told her i agreed but she was to hasty for there was still time and there was no need to rush in to this for the moment .

''yeah you have a point but we don't have to rush i mean we still have time before acting for the ones who are behind this are buying their time so for now we should do this too buying our time as well before we will get out to take the bolt and the helm back .''

Annie stoped and was now more calm for she now started to think about this and i think she was seeing that there was no reason for any thing to be rushed yet ,we bought saw that

Clarisse who was gaping at Percy was thrown away after reciving a direct hit making her fly away like her friends did .

we saw Percy returning to normal and now was walking twoards us showing he was a bit tierd but he had a grin as well making me grin as well seeing as he won ,now Annie was looking at the two of us as if she was thinking about something .

"What?" i asked her trying to think at what she was thinking about so hard as she was still staring at us. What are you thinking?"i asked further when she responded while still staring at us making us do the same .

I'm thinking," she said, "that I want you on my team for capture the flag."

we bought stared at her not geting why she wanted that but we did not mind for this was awsome seeing that some one wanted me and Percy in a team we bought grinned at her wanting that as well .
