The HoO Read The Lightning Thief;Chapter 1

-JASON-

Today started off pretty normal, or as normal as it would ever get in a Greek hero training camp.I just finished today's sword fighting class with a bruised sholder, thanks to Clarrise from Ares. I swear she was the only girl (or one of the only girls) who could take me on in a sword fight..

Anyway back to the story, I was pretty distracted, thinking about all the things that had happened in these last few months away from home. Away from my friends, my room. A few days ago, my memory had completely returned. I remembered every single moment in my life, the places I've been, and the friends I have...

"Hey there Sparky! You alright? You look pale",a male voice said behind me. I turn and see my best friend, Leo Valdez, walk beside me. Leo was not the tallest person I knew, but what he lacked in height he made up with wit and his sense of humor. He had pointy ears, curly brown hair and eyes, a crazy,trouble-maker type of grin that would immediately made you think he had picked your pockets.

Leo was also ADHD, which meant he was never still. He always had something in his hands. Leo was a son of Hephaestus, which meant he could build amazing things, like 'the spaking hot war machine' that everyone except the Hephaestus cabin called "The Argo 2".

"Jason! Hey man, don't space out on me like that, it's creepy!",Leo said, bringing me back to the present.

"Sorry,Leo. I can't help thinking about what will happen when we get there",I said with a sad smile.

Leo grinnied again and shook his head,"Well we can't have you thinking about that now can we? You,sparky, need a distraction...",Leo tapped his chin thoughtfully.

Just then my sister Thalia (a Hunter of Artemis who was visiting the camp) came in runing with Rachel Dare,the camp Oracle.

"Jason",Thalia panted as she caught up with us, as if she had ran the entire camp to find us,"Help me get annabeth and some other people please! You guys won't believe what rachel found!",she said.

"I found it in an old library close to my school",Rachel explained,her eyes filled with excited.

She pulled her bag from her shoulders and pulled out a small dark-green book that showed a kid with black hair, an orange T-shirt, holding something that looked like a horn with his back turned. His feet were in water and he was staring at the Empire State Building.

"The Lightning Thief",I read.
