Julia's P.O.V.

I've known Percy since we were in the third grade. We are best friends nothing can separate us. Well it's been seven years and we're still best friends and we still do everything together.

"Percy! Hey" I yelled while running across the hall to catch up to Percy. He turned around and I could see that he was talking to a girl with blonde hair and gray eyes.

"Hey, what's up?" Percy said while smiling. I had no idea how this girl was. Was she his girlfriend? Why hasn't he said anything about her? These questions kept going through my head. I was a bit worried. Just like must of the girls at Goode high I had a major crush on Percy, but of course he had no idea.

"Seaweed brain, are you going to introduce me to your friend?" The girl said while smiling widely.

"Of course wise girl, this is Julia and she's my best friend." Percy smirked. I knew that this girl was Percy's girlfriend, I just didn't want to believe it.

"Hey, I'm Julia. This is the last day of school are you going to register next year cause I haven't seen you around here?" I muttered. "No I'm just here to take Percy to camp. I'm Annabeth by the way Percy's girlfriend." She said. "Camp? You the great Percy go to camp?" I tried not to laugh. I just couldn't believe he went to camp. I mean he gets in so much trouble in school that I though he had to take summer school or something.

"Percy we have to go Thalia is waiting! Chiron won't be happy if we're late!" Annabeth whispered loud enough for me to hear. I had no idea what was going on right now. I didn't have time to say anything because a giant dog broke through the wall and started chasing Percy, Annabeth and I through the school. I was freaking out. "What the heck is that?!" I froze in fear.

"Wait you can see through the mist? Never mind just run. Annabeth get to the office I'll meet you there." Percy then ran toward the giant dog.

"OK let's go to the office." Annabeth said calmly. I had no idea how she was so clam.

"Um… OK but what about Percy?" I said in a worried tone. I looked back to see Percy with a sword in his hand. He ran toward the dog and stabbed it in the stomach, then the dog turned into sand. My eyes widened. I ran toward Percy.

"What happened? Why did that dog just turn into sand!" I yelled still shocked with everything that happened. I was so confused. I finally let everything sink in, and calmed down. "I have to tell my mom about this." I said still a bit stunned.

"Wait hold on… Julia your dad left before you were born… and you could see the monster…Annabeth I think she's a half-blood." Percy was looking confused by now.

"Wait Percy you never noticed this before?" Annabeth rolled her eyes at Percy like there was something obviously happening here.

Percy took out a gold coin from his pocket and this fluffy screen started to show a picture. The screen showed a man in a wheel chair.

"Hey Chiron we found a new half-blood we'll take her to camp with us ok bye." Percy slid his hand through the screen and it disappeared. "OK Julia did your mom ever say what your dad's name was?" Percy asked.

"Yeah… I think it was Hephaestus. Why?" I asked extremely confused.

"Well let's go tell Leo he has a new sister." Annabeth said while walking toward a strawberry bakery van.
