Maybe I should sit with Neil? No…Those kids don't look like good company, I mean that Clarisse girl, she called me something and then she introduced herself to me. It wasn't a nice word.

Maybe Percy? Or Grover…Actually I think he sits with Chiron and Nico…I think maybe Chiron is mad at me or something. I guess Percy it is…Wait...What about that girl I first met…The one who tackled me, she seemed to be extremely happy I was awake, maybe I should go and apologize to her? Even though I didn't do anything to her…Well except forgetting about her and what we 'did' together.

I know she's a child of Athena, so I guess I should go to that table? Seems simple. I made my way to their table and hesitated, if she didn't want to tell me her name, then I guess she really doesn't want to get to know me again.

But I have to do this, I want to get to know everyone I used to know. In front of me was a bunch of smart, athletic looking kids. I saw that girl, she seen me. But she didn't bother getting up. I guess this is where I'm sitting. When I sat down everyone was staring at me, I looked around with a confused look. Is it that strange for me to sit here?

"Why bother sitting down, when you got no food?" She said. I realized I didn't even have my food yet, "Oh…No one told me where to get it." I said.

That girl rolled her eyes, "Figures, follow me." He tone made it seem like she just wanted to eat in peace. I got up and followed her. "Usually we have the Wood nymphs bring the food, but I guess since you're late, you have to get it yourself." She told me.

I nodded, "Okay, so where is it all?" I asked.

She looked ahead of us, "Right in plain sight, a lot of things around here are like that. And sorry about before…I'm Annabeth." She told me. I looked at her and smiled, "Annabeth? Well nice to meet you."

I grabbed my food and ate it really fast, I didn't realize just how hungry I was. When was the last time I ate? Anyway after dinner an old guy stood up from the main table with Nico, Grover and Chiron, and had us suit up, although they told me I didn't have to wear any armour, I told them they were crazy, but then they would look at me like I was the one being crazy.

"Right," The old man said, standing on the head dining table. "Gather 'round."

He was dressed in black leather and bronze. In the torchlight, his gray hair made him look like a ghost. For the first time in a long time I noticed a hellhound right beside him. I saw no one freaking out or trying to kill it, so I didn't either, maybe it's a pet?

"You will be in teams of two," The old guy announced. When everybody started talking and trying to grab their friends, he yelled: "Which have already been chosen!"

Man, I don't know who I would've went with, well, there's Neil. And Nico…I don't know anyone else heh.

"AWWWWW!" everybody complained.

"Your goal is simple: collect the gold laurels without dying. The wreath is wrapped in a silk package, tied to the back of one of the monsters. There are six monsters. Each has a silk package. Only one holds the laurels. You must find the wreath before the other teams. And, of course…you will have to slay the monster to get it, and stay alive."

I don't have my sword my father gave me before I died…So what am I going to use? "Don't have a sword yet?" Neil came up beside me, I nodded. "I lost my sword my father gave me…"

Neil tilted his head, "Then why not use your powers?"

I glanced at him, "Powers?"

Blah, we all know I'm a liar when it comes to not uploading anything today xD, but I'm pretty sure I won't do anything next week.

Thanks for reading!
