Chapter 1:

Percy's POV

I was out of breath from racing Annabeth seven times, and yes, she had won all of those races. "Are we all done racing yet?" I panted, flopping down on the grass. "Just thirteen more," she begged. "Then we'll be done." "Thirteen!" I shouted, "Yeah, how about no. In case you have not noticed, I'm exhausted. We've ran around camp half-blood seven times, and I'm tired. I'm going to my cabin, thank you very much!"

As I walked up the hill, Charles Beckendorf, the senior counselor for the Hephaestus cabin, bumped into me. "Sorry, Percy. Didn't see you there." He blinked. "You look tired." I nodded. "I was racing Annabeth. She has a lot of energy." He nodded. "Whatever you do, do NOT race any new Hermes kids. They run ten laps around camp every morning." He laughed. Then he looked around. "Dinner!" he walked off to go eat. I followed him, looking for Annabeth. She was already sitting at her table. "Hi, Annabeth." She ignored me. I went to go get my food. I chose a hamburger and a cherry coke. I sat down, taking a sip of my drink. After I finished, I walked over to my cabin, knowing that Annabeth would still be upset with me, and I had to find a way to get her to forgive me. I climbed into my bed and fell into sleep.

When I opened my eyes, I dreamed I was in a large room full of Titans. I shivered when I saw Kronos. His words ran down my back like a knife. "Titans, hear my plan to destroy Olympus!" I froze in horror. As he told his plan, I started to sweat. This may be his sneakiest plan yet. I could still hear his voice in my head when I woke up.
