I do not own the Percy Jackson Series or the Kane Chronicles Series

Chapter 4: A crocodile says Hi to me

Annabeth's POV:

Before I went to bed that night, I called the camp.

"Hello?" Chiron's voice said. "Chiron? Can I talk to Percy please?" I asked.

He hesitated. "Alright. Hold on a minute."

"Hello?" When I heard Percy's voice my heart throbbed. "Percy? Listen I won't be coming to camp for a while." I said. "Why? Annabeth, Camp is your home." He sounded hurt. "I know Percy, but there's a lot of stuff going on right now that I need to take care of." I said.

"How long?" He asked. "I'm not sure. At least a month" It hurt me to say that. I missed him so much. "Look I got to go. I love you." I said. "'Love you too." He replied, and I hung up.

I hadn't seen him in months. I sighed and realized that I was quite tired, so I snapped off my light and climbed into my new bed.

I woke up to the noise of someone knocking on my door. "Annabeth?" I recognized it as Sadie's voice, "It's time for breakfast" she said. "Okay!" I called, loud enough for her to hear through the door.

I rolled out of bed and changed out of my pajamas. I then combed my hair out and brushed my teeth.

I walked down the stairs slowly until I reached the main floor. The architecture of this building still amazes me. When one of the other kids saw me, he smiled and took me to the terrace, where everyone was eating.

What made me stop in my tracks was a crocodile. In the pool. Staring right at me.

It grunted and I took a step back. Cleo laughed. "Don't worry he's just saying hi." I blinked. Well, living here is going to be interesting.

Thanks for reading! Please review! :D
