Chapter 1: Welcome to Camp Half-Blood!

Okay, time out. Obviously, the final book of the Heroes of Olympus series, the Blood of Olympus, is not out yet. This takes place a year after the Giant War ended, so I am just making up what happens to Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter based on the fact that I believe that the seven will win against the Giants. Also, this contains many references to the original two series, so spoilers! Also, prepare for a note ahead. Alex is a girl btw. Lez go!

Alex's POV:

I ran through a forest, down a beaten down road. My friend Jackie ran ahead of me, going faster than I ever saw her go. The red streaks in her hair were all I could see in the middle of the night, and I could only see the things chasing us if they got close enough to nip my red hoodie. They were strange things. They had giant ten feet wingspans, with the front part of its body an eagle, and the black part a lion. I had thought they were pretty cool, but only before they tried to kill us. I saw a hill up ahead, with a large pine tree. I was strangely drawn to it, like I was supposed to go there.

"The hill!" I yelled to Jackie, who I think nodded. It must've been hard to hear me over the monsters. One sped ahead and grabbed Jackie's jacket. She screamed, which was very strange for her. She reached up and pulled the monsters front legs, distracting it while I jumped up, barely taking hold of the back legs. The monster squawked loudly as I climbed between its wings and started to tug at its neck. What I was trying to do, I have no idea, but eventually the head jerked sideways with a loud snap. The monster collapsed into gold dust, dropping Jackie and I. Luckily we were only a few feet from the ground.

"One down, fifteen to go," Jackie said, helping me up. We started running again, not bothering to brush off the gravel and monster dust. We were only, like, 10 feet from the base of the hill. I tripped and cut my knee on something. I pulled a giant piece of glass up, glad that it had barely scratched me. I continued running, the glass cutting my hands since I was gripping it so tightly. I turned around for a second and did a quick stab in a monster's chest. It dissolved. Another monster grabbed my jacket pulling me down. I yelped and slid under it, sliding my shard down its belly. I got up and ran, only to trip on a large tree root looping out of the ground. I tried getting up, then I noticed my foot was stuck under it. I would have to dislocate my ankle to get it out of the root.

"Jackie!" I yelled, noticing her up at the top. She looked so shocked, and she didn't hear me. I yelled for her again right as the largest monster landed in front of me. He seemed the leader, because he squawked something at the other monsters that were creeping up on me, and they backed off. This monster seemed strange. He bent down and looked me right in the eyes. We stared in hatred at each other for a few moments, until he got up and squawked more. It must have meant Hey, buddies, come eat these tasty humans! I'm already stuffed with a couple cows, because all the rest flew over and started attacking us.

One flew down and pecked my cheeks, while another swooped and bit into my leg. I stood, or laid, I guess, there as monsters flew down in turn and inflicted a new injury. From the other screams I heard, Jackie had the same problems. One dug its talons deep in my arms, flying off before a last monster swooped down and dug his lion claws down my back. I screamed one last time, before my head drooped down into the grass. As I started to faint from blood loss, I started to hear more yells, but from other people. I saw orange and purple figures run up from the other side of the hill as my vision blurred. I closed my eyes, thinking how soft the grass is, how easy it was to just fall asleep right there. My vision was gone, but my hearing was a good as ever. I started to make out certain voices.

"Percy, behind you!" a girl yelled, heard a body duck and roll, probably Percy, and then a monster screech. The girl screamed.

"Annabeth!" a boy hollered, and soon they were drowned out by the other sounds of battle. I couldn't hear Jackie, so I just hoped that the new people had gotten her to safety. A new girl came into my hearing, screaming something about grenades. Suddenly there was a bang on my side of the hill, and my ears started ringing. Luckily my eyes were closed, but I still had to scream from the surprise.

"Leo!" Flash-Grenade-Warning-Girl yelled. "There's someone over there!" Leo never replied, but I did hear a horse and more people come over the hill and towards me. I got lifted onto a makeshift stretcher, and that was all I remembered before I blacked out.

I woke to a boy leaning over me, his face only half a foot from mine. He had lean features, tan skin, dark curly hair, and bright eyes that glimmered with a hint of mischief. I was about to push him away when he got pulled back by his shirt collar into a chair next to the bed I was on.

"Leo! Don't do that! What if she wakes up?" a girl asked. Leo? I thought, trying to remember the night before.

"She is awake, Pipes," Leo said, grinning again before looking back. I moaned as to verify his statement.

"Oh!" the girl exclaimed, then she leaned away from the other person she was standing over. It didn't take me long to realize I was in the infirmary, even without moving my head. The whole place stunk of herbs, blood, and… pizza?

"Pizza…" I groaned, trying to get up. I got pushed back down by a pretty girl with messy hair and deep brown eyes. She frowned when seeing my eyes, as if they troubled her.

"That doesn't seem right…" she muttered before pulling up another chair and looking at me. "The names Piper, and this is Leo. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood."

Well! There's the first chapter! Already have some familiar characters, and a battle. Not too shabby. Well, the only part of this story that I own is Alex, Jackie, and the events. I don't own the places or any other character. Words in this chapter: 1,010! Geez. To Chapter 2!
