Chapter 1: The New Campers

(Annabeth's POV)

I was looking out of the window, watching the Ares and Apollo kids sword fighting. Those Apollo kids won't just really stop at nothing to defeat the Ares kids. When an Apollo kid was about to defeat the Ares kid on the ground, Darius tapped me on the shoulder.

"Hey, Beth, make sure to plan the strategy for tomorrow's Capture the Flag." my half-brother, Darius, said. He's new so he's totally ecstatic.

"Can you give me some suggestions? After all, we're Athena's children." I replied.

"Let's distract the Jackson kid," he answers. That's when I stood up.

"Darius, Percy isn't just a regular kid! He's brave, resourceful and powerful." I said.

"How dare you dishonor mother, just to praise that Poseidon kid!" he snapped.

"Do not insult Percy in front of me. UNDERSTAND?"

Darius swallowed hard and managed a nod.

I went outside and swiftly ducked as an arrow flew above my head. "My gods!" I screamed. I saw the shooter finding the arrow.

"Hey, kid, it's near my cabin, the Athena cabin." I said to them. "Watch your target. You might hit someone."

"Sorry, I'm just new here." the girl said with a smile.

"That's okay…" I said as my eyes focused on Percy, teaching the younger kids how to sword fight.
