III. Annabeth

Well, I guess this is life, always dramatic and full of surprises.

First of all, I left my home at the age of seven, living in the street for a few weeks. Then, I met my first real family, Thalia Grace, the daughter of Zeus and Luke Castellan, the son of Hermes, they had been nice to me and accepted me as a family member. I felt so grateful to both of them. Then, the three of us ran into Grover Underwood, a satyr who led us to Camp Half-Blood, where all demigods called home. And, it became my home since I was seven, and the camp director Chiron, really was and still is a father figure to me.

When we reached the camp, Thalia nearly died to give Luke, Grover and I a chance get inside it. She was turned into a pine tree by her father, and Luke and I had a few years of peace. We were year rounders, meaning we don't leave camp unless it is winter solstice, when the gods have their annual meeting on Mount Olympus.

Then, when I was twelve, I met Percy. He was a brave, loyal friend and I had to admit, that after that night in the van to Las Vegas, I had developed crush on him. We retrieved Zeus's lightning bolt together at that year, and then Luke betrayed us, he turned to Kronos and started serving him. The next year, he poisoned Thalia's pine tree and that was one thing I will never forgive him, though he sacrificed himself to defeat Kronos in the end. Percy and I snuck out to find the Golden Fleece to cure Thalia's tree, which in turns cured Thalia.

Then, next winter, I was kidnapped by Atlas and forced into holding the sky. That winter, Thalia became a hunter of Artemis and we had the knowledge of another child of big three – Nico di Angelo, a son of Hades.

Well, you see, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus were not supposed to have children because of a prophecy, and Poseidon and Zeus had broken the oath (Heck Zeus had broken it twice). Nico was a son of Hades from 1930s so he technically didn't break the oath.

Nico had a sister called Bianca, who died on the quest to save Artemis from the Titan's Curse, Nico didn't bear the news very well and he ran away. And the summer that year, Percy and I along with Grover and Tyson (A cyclops brother of Percy, I know it sounds weird, but demigods' life is weird). We found Nico there and he helped us during the coming battle in Camp Half Blood and later in Manhattan.

Afterwards, I finally got Percy to be my boyfriend and we started dating that August. But it didn't end very well, as a new prophecy arose and Percy kidnapped by certain goddess of marriage and family for eight months. Well, I was depressed during those eight months, I knew he bore the Achille's heel but, I was still worried about him. Then, in the coming June, we finally found him on the other side of US, in a certain Roman camp called Camp Jupiter, we had to sail to Greece to fight a bunch of Giants.

That journey really sucked, because we, as in Percy and I, fell into the deepest part of the Underworld – Tartarus. That was really a terrifying experience, I still had bad dreams about it, about how Percy would die if Bob the Titan didn't want to help him because Percy was the reason Bob lost his memory as Iapetus, or if the giant Damasen didn't show up to face Tartarus we had to face the primordial on our own, and in that case, one of us wouldn't make it out of there.

Finally, when the giant's war was over by the great sacrifice of the son of Hephaestus, Leo Valdez, I thought we could finally use some peace, but no. The same hero who had sacrificed himself in defeating Gaia decided to show up after two weeks and land his dragon at the shore of Long Island Sound, with a beautiful Titaness called Calypso wrapped her arms around his waist, and Chiron decided that was a perfect time to give us another quest, a quest to Britain for certain groups of wizards, who are now in trouble of a certain dark lord calling himself Lord Voldemort.

Jeez, this guy really needed to learn how to give himself a nick name. I mean, what kind of nick name is that? Is that funny? Is that terrifying? Well, I find neither. Then, Percy got this weird dream about a sorceress whose home was destroyed by demigods. My first thought was definitely Circe, who turned my current boyfriend Percy into a guinea pig. How could she? She should turn him into a pack of seaweed instead (Percy: I heard that!). He also mentioned an army led by that sorceress to attack That magical school that named after certain skin disease of pigs (I don't understand how British naming system works! That's definitely not good though lord Voldemort is a worse name).

Chiron told us that the current headmaster of Hogwarts is Dumbledore (Another strange name) and he is probably the greatest wizard at present. That makes me wonder why there will be an army to Hogwarts when there is someone that powerful guarding the school. Maybe those monsters will not be that affected by those curses? Maybe, so I searched the whole library situated in the big house and Athena's cabin, and I found nothing, absolutely nothing.

Well, except the fact that the Greek 'Wizard' who made the first Horcrux also had a nickname – the Evil One, and that the gender of this maker was unknown, well, then Circe may not be the only choice of the sorceress who will lead the army.

Then, there were stories I found when the gods were in the Great Britain, there were four powerful demigods then: Godric Gryffindor, a son of Zeus; Salazar Slytherin, a sin of Hades; Rowena Ravenclaw, a daughter of Athena; and Helga Hufflepuff, a daughter of Demeter. They accepted the blessing from Hecate and became four powerful wizards and witches and found a school called Hogwarts which is where we were heading to now.

I told Percy about the stories once we took a rest in Boston while Jason, Piper and Leo exploring the city, Frank and Hazel taking a turn of watching, and me and Percy resting. He didn't look pleased with the information I told him.

'I thought the demigods have more sense of humour and better at giving names to a school,' he said, 'but I supposed that's just okay? I don't like the idea you said about the Evil One could be either a he or she, I mean, if we are going to face this Evil One, he/she surely is more dangerous than Circe or that Voldy-dude.'

I nodded in complete agreement, 'me neither,' I said, 'I hate the idea of going on another deadly quest, I am afraid Percy, that his raze means you, or Jason, or Leo, or -'

Percy kissed me to shut up and said, 'no need to worry wise girl, I will not be dead, remember our plan? We finish this quest and finish our senior year, go to college and get married in New Rome. And don't worry about Jason, Leo and Frank, they all got their own Piper, Calypso and Hazel, so at the end of this, we eight go to the Café in New Rome and celebrate, okay?'

I smiled and nodded as Leo coming in and said, 'did I heard the name Calypso?'

We told him about the plan, and he smiled too, and said, 'that is a very decent plan coming out of you Aquaman (Percy protested to this nickname), and of course we will celebrate, but with Chef Leo's Tofu Taco, that will be better.'

'And maybe you could cook one right now, we did miss your Tofu Taco during our expedition on the Argo II!' Said Piper as she and Jason walking in.

'Yes Beauty-Queen, Team Leo at your service!'

'Jason,' I said, 'is there any abnormal in town?'

'Nothing special, there was a huge mansion with a bunch of weapon collections, though I don't think they are either celestial bronze or imperial gold or stygian iron, and Annabeth, that mansion had your last name.'

I paled, I did remember one of my dad's brother was fanatic about the gods of Asgard and all that, though I don't have any proof of them exist. What was his name? Rudolph or something? Or Runcorn?

And I did remember I had another cousin living here and I remembered hanging out with him, his name was Magnus, and I didn't contact him for eons. I am not sure if Magnus is still alive, not according to my father.

'Annabeth, what's wrong? Should we find your relative?' Percy asked with a worried face. I shook my head, and took a deep breath.

'No,' I said, 'that will be a story for a different time, though my dad did mention that my cousin might be in trouble next winter, probably in January, according to the message he received from my other uncle, who possess that mansion Jason told us.'

'Well then,' Percy decided, 'let's get the Tofu Taco from fire boy and go, I'll get Frank and Hazel together to find a doughnut shop for Blackjack and other Pegasi, while you guys tuck in. Then, we gather here to go for a ride tracing the routh of Mayflower!'
