Percy's POV
I strummed my new guitar while sitting on my bed. Of course I knew how to play guitar, one of my friends from the Apollo cabin taught me for a while and I was pretty good at it. I still didn't know what song to pick. So, I decided to iris message Jason. After I made a rainbow, don't ask where, Jason's face appeared in the rainbow. He was in his apartment. "Hi Jason." I greeted him. "Hey Percy. What's up?" he asked me. "Well, I need to pick a son for the audition but I don't know which one to choose." I answered. "What instrument?" "Guitar." "Same, I've already picked my song but another good choice would probably be 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz." he suggested. "Haha, your name is Jason." "Your mom is Jason." he responded. "What? That didn't make any sense." I said. "Oh well, bye. I gotta practice." Jason said. After we disconnected the iris message, I started practicing.
Annabeth's POV
I waited nervously in the hallway of the recording studio, outside of Apollo's office. I was next to audition. Of course I didn't have to bring my piano, it would be way too heavy to carry alone. I held my music sheets tightly in my hand. The clock in the hallway was ticking and it was pissing me off. Finally, the door of the office opened and the security guard guarding the office door stepped aside. The person who auditioned before me walked out of the office. "Annabeth Chase, please come in." Apollo's assistant called out? She led me into the office. Apollo's office was huge. The window were huge, the couches were huge, everything was huge except Apollo was not in his godly form of course. He was dressed like a music producer: clean suit, clean tie, sunglasses and he wore a couple of rings on his fingers. Apollo sat at his desk. "Hello Annabeth, what will you be doing today?" Apollo asked politely. "'Demons' by Imagine Dragons. I'm gonna play it on the piano." I said a little nervous. I sat down on the piano bench and started playing:
Demons by Imagine Dragons
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
I finished the last few notes and then got up from the bench. Apollo started clapping "Annabeth! That was marvellous! You have a wonderful voice." he commented. "Now, after the auditions end, I will put up a list of whoever made it through the auditions and I will also explain what will happen next." I nodded and walked out of his office.
