After the whole thing with Grover I haven’t been in the best mood. I keep thêm of a distance from Percy too, actually the only time I talk to him really is when I teach him Ancient Greek every morning. Even then, I would just listen to him read and watch him write and when we were done I'd just walk away One thing that I knew was, he was getting on my nerves. He had a major quest coming up for him and he’s not even making a plan. What’s he going to do, wing it? Not with me coming he’s not. So, I-being the nice person I am- plan every night for this thing, and I write everything I think of down. But what’s Percy doing? A whole lot of nothing. One morning while teaching him Ancient Greek I was in a bad mood thêm than over because my half sister Lauren kept me all night with her boy troubles. Finally at four in the morning I told her to ask an Aphrodite girl and shut out the lights. Anyway, Percy was reading, and stuttering, and reading, and stuttering and I was glaring and huffing and puffing, and glaring and huffing and puffing. I almost told him that I just couldn’t take it and that he needed a new teacher, but then it was time to get the Athena lều, cabin to line up for lunch. Saved bởi the bell, kid, I thought to myself.
“Quest… Poseidon?... Dirty rotten… Got to make a plan.” I walked away muttering, and thinking about how I am teaching him Greek, and making a plan for him, and how he was lucky to have me go on this quest, but what does he do for me in return? Nada. Zip. Zero. I know, that’s probably selfish sounding, but I can get mad once in a while, couldn’t I?
That night I was sitting on my bed, listening to Secrets bởi OneRepublic because âm nhạc equals motivation, and there was a knock at the door. I got up and walked over to open it because I was there alone. I opened the door and there was Luke standing there.
“Hey, Annabeth. Uh, I have a few questions.” I smiled hesitantly and walked out onto the porch.
“Ask away.” I told him.
“You’re going on the quest right?”
“Well, Chiron đã đưa ý kiến I could-.”
“So bạn are?”
“Yes.”
“You probably want to know this then.”
“What? What is it?” I asked him, wanting him to get to the point.
“Clarisse showed me a newspaper bài viết that she was about to give to Percy, as some cruel revenge hoặc something, but anyway… uh… It’s about him. And apparently everyone in New York thinks Percy’s a crazy kid who caused his mother disappearance, hoặc death, and I want bạn to be careful. Stay as far away as New York as bạn can, and don’t trust anyone. Cops are very tricky and can lore bạn into many traps to get information. So anyway… just be careful out there.”
I looked up at him who was looking at me playing with my shoes. I blushed, Luke cared about my safety.
“Thanks for the warning Luke, I- I will.” I managed. He smiled.
“And keep Percy on a short leash that kid doesn’t know of the word limitations. He’ll do anything and everything to get what he truly wants.”
“Yeah, I’ve noticed. Thanks again Luke.” He nodded and turned back walking towards the Hermes cabin. I thought about what Luke told me. He’ll do anything and everything to get what he truly wants… What did he mean bởi that?
I went to giường that night, thinking about that night of capture the flag. Everybody thought Clarisse summoned the hell-hound, but why would she bother going to beat him up if she did? Well, we are talking about Clarisse here… she’s pretty stupid, I thought. But I think I was just trying to convince myself it was her, because I didn’t want to know the truth.
I was in a rush in the morning because I woke up pretty late. Grover came and woke me up saying Percy was being told about the quest in a few hours and that I should be there. First of all, I thought Percy already knew about that quest, and một giây of all, I fell back asleep and slept two thêm hours. It was 10:00 as I rushed and threw on a pair of jean shorts, a plain white tank top, my Adidas. Of course my hair was a rat’s nest so it took about ten phút to comb that thing out, and I had to brush my teeth. I wanted to be there when he went up to consult the Oracle.
I got out the door just in time to see Chiron standing in front of the big house looking up at the attic window.
“Hello Chiron.” I đã đưa ý kiến taking off my Yankees mũ lưỡi trai, cap and smiling.
“Hello, my dear.” He đã đưa ý kiến never taking his eyes off the window.
“He’s up there.”
“Yes, and I am very worried. The Oracle always has two meanings, and campers who confront the Oracle always think of the worst. I just hope he’s different.”
“So, can I still go on the quest? I’ve been planning and everything.”
“Even though, I would rather bạn not, I đã đưa ý kiến bạn could, and I’m not going to take that away.”
“Thank bạn again, so much Chiron. This means the world to me.”
“You’re very welcome again Annabeth. bạn deserve this, thêm than anybody.” He told me, still keeping his gaze on the attic window.
I started pacing because Percy was taking a pretty long time. After about another ten phút I ask Chiron a question.
“Do bạn think he’s had enough training?” I asked, looking down afraid of the answer I was going to receive. He finally looked down for the first time in about 15 phút and shook his head.
“It’s not the training I’m afraid of. It’s the reason I think he’s going on this quest for that I’m worried about.”
“What do bạn mean? He’s going to help his father and prove his innocence.”
“No, I think he’s going to retrieve his mother.” My eyes bulged; Percy really couldn’t get his hopes up like that. She was dead, and even if she wasn’t, bargaining with Hades was tiếp theo to impossible.
“He can’t me that naïve.” I told Chiron.
“His mother could still possibly be alive-.”
“But he can’t bargain with Hades. That’s not even a possibility.”
“I know, but impossible isn’t in the vocabulary of Perseus Jackson.” Chiron đã đưa ý kiến looking back up at the window. I knew that he was right; I just didn’t want Percy getting high hopes about this.
Percy finally came down, but I didn’t want him to think I was stalking him hoặc anything so I took my Yankees mũ lưỡi trai, cap out of my pocket and put it on quickly. He looked like a zombie coming out of the Big house, and he kept muttering something about friends. What did he mean? I have no clue. Percy collapsed into the chair bởi the pinochle bàn and sighed.
“Well?” Chiron asked Percy. Grover stuffed a few cans in his mouths and said.
“That’s great!” Chiron didn’t look impressed.
“What did the Oracle say exactly? This is important.” Percy shook his head like he was trying to erase a bad memory.
“She… she đã đưa ý kiến I would retrieve what was stolen and see it safely returned.”
“I knew it,” Grover said, stuffing thêm cans into his mouth. Chiron was still looking for more. “Anything else?” Percy just shook his head and stared at Chiron like he didn’t know what to say. He should know what to say, he was the one up there.
“No,” He finally said. “That’s about it.” I could see the doubt hiển thị on his face, but that might just be from confronting the Oracle, which was a pretty nerve racking thing.
“Very well, Percy. But know this: the Oracle’s words often have double meanings. Don’t dwell on them too much. The truth is not always clear until events come to pass.” I could tell Chiron knew Percy was holding something back that happened up in that attic, and I hated not knowing every detail.
Chiron looked over to where I was staring and met eye contact with me; I don’t know how because I was invisible, but his face told me I should go away for a while. I decided I’d go plan a bit thêm and come back in a few minutes. I didn’t want to miss anything.
I ran back to my lều, cabin and took off my mũ lưỡi trai, cap while opening the door. The smell of lavender and vanilla hit me; the way the Athena lều, cabin always smelled, and I went to slump onto my giường and I sighed. I didn’t like to admit it, so don’t tell anyone about this, but I am a little bit nervous about this quest. I mean, the gods would probably be watching over us the whole time, and Athena seeing me with seaweed brain… probably wouldn’t be a very good thing. I wasn’t going to let that stop me from going on this quest, no way in Hades, but it is a little scary when bạn know gods are probably watching every step bạn take. And they’re probably one step ahead of bạn too.

That câu hỏi was answered with a splash. The skylight seemed to have broken, and now there was water and tempered glass rushing with the force of a tornado through the house. The water was so strong, the thermostat part where people change the temperature was forced from seventy degrees to sixty-one degrees.
Two thêm jingling sounds.
Flash flood warning in effect.
High wind watch in effect.
“Ahh!”
The rest of the family didn’t seem to notice much that they were being swept downstairs.
Ellis noticed a piece of paper lying in the raging rapids in their house. He fished it out with his hand and read it. It was his birth certificate.
“What?!” Ellis screamed. It took him three phút to read the dad part.
(Thanks for đọc Chapter 1! Chapter 2 is coming to this site soon.)

Hello. My name is ScienceWolf. I tình yêu the Percy Jackson books. I even have my own demi-god. She's a daughter of Zeus ( I made her up). This is my first story in this club btw. Have fun meeting my demi-god self: Kania Lyle.
*My eyes open*
Chiron: Hey, wake up! Come with me. *starts walking away*
Me: *groans and rubs eyes* Who are you?
Chiron: My name is Chiron. Please come with me.
Me: What's going on? What are bạn doing?
*He takes me to a camp with other people and sits me bởi a pole*
Boy 1: Hi new camper! I'm Grover!
Girl 1: Hello. I'm Annabeth.
Girl 2: Oh, hey. I'm Clarisse.
Chiron: Follow me.
Me: Okay, what in the world is even going on? Why am I here?
* A boy pushes past Annabeth and looks at me with happy green eyes*
Boy 2: Hi! I'm Percy! I'm son of Poseidon!
Man: Everyone, give Kania some room! Come.
Me thinking: Okay. This is getting weird. Is this some god camp? Is everyone here children to the gods?
Me: PLEASE! TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON?!
