A/N: I've started writing Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth in Annabeth's point of view (I would have written the Last Olympian but it hasn't come out here yet). I hope you like it. Please no flames.

Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth
Chapter 1- I meet Rachel
All I wanted was a fun afternoon with my friend, but of course Percy had blown up a school and was on the run again. I was meant to meet him in the afternoon but when I was on my way to the library (I was 2 hours early) he ran straight into me.
'Hey, you're out early!' I laughed. Percy was never early. 'Watch were your going Seaweed Brain' I told him as I grabbed his shoulders to stop him falling out onto the road.
He looked quite hilarious. His clothes were covered in flour and he was scratched in several places.
I then noticed a strange looking girl running towards us.
'Percy, wait up!' she yelled. I stopped smiling. Who was she! Percy doesn't have any other best friends who are girls, so what was she doing chasing after him?
She looked even funnier than Percy. She was wearing a maroon t-shirt and hideous jeans that looked like they had marker drawings all over them, and her hair was red and frizzy. But what was worse was she too was covered in flour... like when monsters disintegrated.
At that time realised that there were sirens going off somewhere and that smoke was coming out of a building not too far away.
'What did you do this time? And who is this?' I said frowning at Percy.
'Oh, Rachel – Annabeth. Annabeth – Rachel. Um she's a friend I guess.' Said Percy.
What did he mean by that?
'Hi,' Rachel said to me before turning to Percy. 'You are in so much trouble. And you still owe me an explanation!'
The sirens wailed louder. They sounded just around the corner.
'Percy we should go' I said coldly. I was mad at him now; he went and blew up something with this stupid mortal girl.
'I want to know more about half-bloods,' Rachel bugged him. Half-bloods! She isn't meant to know about us and Percy told her! 'And monsters. And this stuff about the gods.' She reached out and took his arm.
I felt like punching her! Who does she think she is, and what was Percy thinking, telling a mortal about us.
Rachel pulled a permanent marker out and wrote a number Percy's arm. 'You're going to call me and explain, okay? You owe me that. Now get going.'
'But-'
'I'll make up some story,' she said to Percy. 'I'll tell them it wasn't your fault. Just go!' she insisted, as she ran back towards to sirens and smoke, leaving Percy and me in the street.
I looked at the place she had been for a moment and then turned and left.
'Hey!' Yelled Percy, whilst jogging to catch up to me. 'There were these two empousai, they were cheerleaders, see, and they said camp was going to burn, and –'
'You told a mortal girl about half-bloods?' I interrupted. I didn't care what his excuse was.
'She can see through the Mist. She saw the monsters before I did.'
'So you told her the truth,' why would he tell some stranger everything!
'She recognised me from Hoover Dam, so –'
'You've met her before?' this just keeps getting better and better!
'Um, last winter. But, seriously, I barely know her.'
'She's kind of cute,' as if! I just want to know how Percy really feels about her.
'I – I never thought about it.'
Sure he didn't, I know he is lying. I headed towards York Avenue to catch a taxi to camp.
'I'll deal with the school,' Percy promised. 'Honest, it'll be fine.'
He expected me to forgive him for telling a mortal about half-bloods after just an apology! And there was clearly something going on between him and that girl, why else would she have given him her number. It's not like I'm jealous or anything! But seriously, who just tells a stranger their giant secret that could cause many people to be killed if kronos heard about it.
'I guess our afternoon is off. We should get you out of here, now that the police will be searching for you,' I said.
'You're right,' he said sadly. 'We have to get to camp half-blood. Now.'
A/N: Sorry the first chapter is so short, most of it is in Percy's POV in the book so I had to cut that part out. So what do you guys think? Should I continue the story? I'll give this chapter a week or two for you to review then if you say yes then I will try very hard to update every week or sooner. Please review!
