Chapter 3, Flashbacks
Annabeth, 11 years ago, 8 years old
Annabeth sat next to her favorite tree in the school yard. Unlike the other trees, this one stood closer to the woods so no one dared go close to it. She twirled a leaf in her hands while reading Pride and Prejudice. A book not favored by most 8 year olds.
"Hey Annie-Beth." Percy Jackson taunted like her name was two separate words. Even though he sounded like a jerk to her they were pretty close because Percy's cousin was Annabeth's best friend. "What are you reading?" He asked before ripping it out of her lap.
"Give it back you Seaweed Brain!" She ordered before grabbing it back while he tried to read the title. "Your not even holding it right, it's upside down!" She waved her hands dramatically while Percy just stared at the grey clouds staring at everything below them. Percy gave a slight wave to each one before turning his attention back to the blonde.
"What? Never mind, we need to get outta here before it starts pouring. Wouldn't want are prize spelling bee-er catching a cold because when you do, you tend to mutter everything."
Annabeth scoffed before replying. "I do not mutter and spelling bee-er is not a word!" Percy rolled his eyes.
"You gonna come or what?" He asked holding out his hand. Annabeth sighed before grabbing it. They had to run inside before the thunder came.
Reyna, 8 years ago, 7 years old
Reyna walked up and down camp with her hounds Silver and Gold. Her mother was part owner of Camp Jupiter, where they pretend they were in togas and battled with swords (pool noodles.) Reyna was deep in thought about how her team should approach tonight. Should they hide in the bushes or wait ready to attack in the Field of Mars? Oh how she longed to stay with her godmother Circe, but after her mom came back from her business trip and saw her in a dress and the ribbons in her hair she stripped her out of Reyna's life forever.
"Are you okay?" A boy asked. Reyna turned her head to face him. He had closely cropped blond hair, striking blue eyes and a scar on his upper lip.
"I'm fine." Reyna answered plainly with a bitter taste in her mouth. He rolled his eyes shaking his head.
"No you're not. I'm guessing you were lost in thought about the battle tonight? Honestly everyone from the 2nd and 5th cohort is." He shrugged off.
Reyna blinked after not saying anything for a while. "You're in the 2nd cohort too?" He shook his head again.
"The name's Jason Grace and I belong in the 5th, and you should just split your team into fourths to divide and concur. I don't know why I'm telling you this though. I want that prize!" Reyna smiled at his idea.
"No, it's a good idea." She smiled before hugging him and running off with her dogs at her feet. She wasn't paying much attention, but she was pretty sure he blushing and watching her run off to talk to her "warriors."
Piper, 7 years ago, 8 years old
Piper stared at her best friend Leo annoyed, she was originally planning to meet her dad in an hour, but he postponed due to his schedule changes. Piper knew that it was hard being a movie star, but she couldn't help being upset, mostly because she got stuck with Repair Boy.
"Come on Beauty Queen!" Leo hollered from up his treehouse. Leo was like a brother Piper never had. Actually Piper had hundreds, and Leo was her half-brother. On the night of his father's wedding, her mother ran off with another man named Ares and since they never called a divorce, they were tactility still married. After that, Piper's mom started doing who knows what with other men, all she knows was she had stuck up brothers and sisters all around the world. Shaking all those thoughts out of her head, she climbed up the ladder to find Leo looking through a telescope.
"You stalking Thalia again?" She asked, causing him to jump. Leo had this weird thing where he fell in love with every girl he couldn't get a time of day with. Must be part of his ADHD. Also, Thalia Grace was his neighbor, she had bold blue eyes and jet black hair. She was pretty nice to her and even showed her the band Green Day. Thalia claimed she had a younger brother who's name started with a J, she never knew him or ever saw him, but she believed her.
"I was not." Leo argued. "I was plainly checking if the mailman over." Piper rolled her eyes.
"Since when do you read?" She asked.
"Since when did you have pink hair?" He shot back with a grin, holding up a mirror. Piper screamed at her reflection then grabbed his wrench and chased him through the streets.
