Chapter 1 (Adrian) The Guess

When Chiron and Annabeth brought this new kid into the Big House, I just knew there was going to be trouble. Boy, was I right. After feeding the drooling doofus, Annabeth pulled me aside.

"He's a new camper that Grover brought in."

"Yes, I can see that. I'm not dumb you know."

She looked me straight in the eye. "Percy is pretty strong. He defeated the Minotaur just then. He also looks much more handsome than you"

I smirked at her. "Looks like someone has a crush on the new kid."

Her face turned a slight pink. She mumbled something about stupid annoying brothers and ran off to Mum's cabin. I considered going after her but before I could do anything, Chiron trotted up to me.

"I see you've met our new camper. His name's Percy Jackson."

I nodded and asked Chiron a very intelligent question.

"Mother or Father?"

"Father." Replied Chiron.

I'm a rather good guesser. I guess I inherited more brain cells from mum than Annabeth. I'm also a lot better at things than her. I was claimed first, beat Mr D at pinochle first, beat up Clarisse first (Annabeth quit) and a whole lot of other stuff. The only thing that Annabeth beat me is getting one more vote for Senior Counsellor in our cabin. The only reason I lost is probably because I'm not like the other Athena kids. They all have blond hair, stormy grey eyes (probably from being grumpy a lot. No offense mum.) and very athletic looking. I'm probably the only child of Athena to have dark hair and brown eyes. Annabeth says I have a problem with my brain. I say I'm special. So when Chiron gave to me one of the most crucial information on his parentage, I was fairly certain who his parent was and it wasn't good.

"Two candidates are possible. Neither are good. Poseidon or Apollo. He definitely isn't a son of Ares, Dionysus or Zeus. He isn't tough or good at fighting from my knowledge. He can't be a son of Zeus because a child of the Lord of the Sky would probably be a bit more, uh spiffy and Mr D is also out of the picture because Dionysus would have already claimed him. Hermes, Hephaestus and Hades have distinctive characteristics which Jackson doesn't have. So that leaves only Apollo and Poseidon."

Chiron listened intently. "What makes you think Apollo and Poseidon?"

"The sea green eyes are a resemblance to Poseidon and for Apollo, well a certain female camper has a slight crush on young Jackson here." I grinned at Chiron.

Chiron looked confused. "Who is this camper? No one has met young Percy here except for…"

"Yeah Annabeth, my sister, Senior Counsellor of the Athena cabin and the only girl torn between two boys. Apollo is the god of looks and Jackson could be a son of Apollo." I hoped not. We don't need demigods to speak poetry. I'd rather get shot by one of Apollo's plague arrows than to hear another haiku from the god. I was about to walk away when Grover the satyr came out with Percy Jackson. The kid did not look good at the moment. I walked over to the pair and Jackson stared at me.

"Hey, you alright" I asked. I wanted to see if this guy was Big Three material so I could determine his godly parent.

"Not really. My mum's gone." Replied Percy. His eyes were all dull. Maybe like his brain.

I look expectantly at the satyr. Grover mumbles something about the Minotaur killing Jackson's mother.

"Has he had nectar?" Annabeth arrived with Chiron. I grin at her. Annabeth turned red the moment I looked at her. Chiron decided to spare Annabeth the embarrassment.

"Percy Jackson. I'm Chiron, the camp activities director. This is Adrian Chase and Annabeth Chase. This young lady nursed you back to health."

Annabeth's face was even redder. I shook hands with Percy and gave Annabeth a small push. Percy studied Annabeth.

"Thanks."

Annabeth looked as though she was going to pass out. "You drool in your sleep." Then she ran as fast as she could away from us. I was silently shaking with laughter. Chiron frowned at me.

"You shouldn't make fun of someone when they like someone. I do hope you recall your friend Thalia."

I felt the heat rise in my cheeks. I nodded at Chiron and walked off.
