Chapter One Plans of Arrival
She looked at her room, knowing that she would have to leave it soon to live somewhere else with her mom. She didn't want to go, but she had to according to her mother. All of her things were packed and in the moving trucks to fool her neighbors for she knew that the people they'll be living with could just poof it over there.
"Melanie, are you ready to go?" Her mother asked.
"I guess so," she replied, turning away from her room.
"At least you get to live with your father now," she said, hoping to lighten the mood.
"Get? No, I have to live with him," Melanie, the girl, retorted.
"Melanie," her mother sighed.
"No, I don't want to live with him," she said, defiance in her voice.
"Melanie, you have to," her mother said, almost begging.
"We were so happy before he came and now look at you! You're afraid of what he'll do to you!"
"No, I'm afraid of he'll do to you."
"What do you mean?"
"With his temper and yours, anything can happen."
"Percy," Annabeth Chase called to her boyfriend as he was about to go into his cabin. "Chiron wants to see us in the Big House with Mr. D.!" He walked over to her and they walked together to the Big House. "Why do you suppose Chiron wants us?"
"I don't know," he answered honestly looking at her.
"Maybe he has a new quest for us or it could be a guest," she mused as they arrived. It was twilight as they entered the Big House and they first saw Mr. D. lounging on a couch with bowl of grapes as Chiron paced a little.
"Ah, Percy, Annabeth, you're here," Chiron said, looking a tad bit nervous.
"You wanted to see us?" Annabeth said.
"Yes, um, something big is going to happen here soon."
"What is it?" Percy asked curiously.
"Father is going to visit," Mr. D. said, looking somewhat happy.
"Lord Zeus is coming?"
"Along with all the others!" Mr. D. said, somewhat excited.
"And why are you happy?" Chiron asked.
"Because maybe one of them will get mad at one of the campers and kill them! Then, maybe my sentence will be reduced!"
"Why are they coming here?"
"I'm not sure," Chiron sighed. "I'm not even sure how this visit will turn out. I'm just going to need both of you to help me keep everything in controlled."
"Do you know when they arrive?"
"Tomorrow," was all he said as he led them to the door of the Big House.
"Do we need to do any special preparations?" Annabeth asked, the joy of seeing her mom was clearly on her face.
"No, Mr. D. doesn't want there to be any," and he opened the door. "Get a good night's rest and be on your best behavior tomorrow and try to make the others behave also."
"Yes, Chiron," Annabeth said, as they walked out. "I have never seen Chiron nervous before."
"Well, it's not every day the Greek Gods decide to visit their children here," Percy replied.
Okay, this is my first ever fic for Percy Jackson and I'm hoping it will turn out the way I want it to! And I'm sorry it's so short. Thanks for reading!
