Sorry this one's a bit short! I hope you read and like it. Please comment.
"Percy! Pay attention! It's almost lunch time and we've only gotten through a page of learning!" I yelled.
"Have you ever tried NOT yelling at me? I'm trying my best, gosh!" He snapped back at me. I was not in the mood for this, today was the day. After dinner we're having the capture the flag game and our strategy is TOTALLY going to pulverize the other team. Anyway, I was not going to let this guy ruin my good mood.
I sighed, "Whatever, let's finish pages 20-23 of the textbook and go to lunch."
He looked at me like I was crazy- probably because I would usually fight back- but he just went back to reading Ancient Greek stories.
You know when you're watching any competition and even though it's not you playing you're nervous for the team you want to win? That feeling at the end of the movie where you know the good guys going to win, but you're still on the edge of your seat? Well, that's how I feel before every capture the flag game. I know our plan is full proof, but that voice in the back of my head is still telling me I can lose. But I'm not going to. Athena's plan is the best yet. I hope.
"Annabeth are you ok? You look a little uneasy." Lauren my half sister asked looking worried.
I looked at her and smiled, "Yeah I'm fine, just a little doubtful about this plan." she took my shoulders and looked at me straight in the eye.
"You are Annabeth Chase. You are daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. Out of everyone at camp, you have the best chances of winning anything and everything you put your mind to. I have so much confidence in you and your plan." I looked at him and smiled, he's right. I can do this. We're GOING to win.
"Thanks, Lauren. You're awesome." She nodded and said, "I know," then sat down on the bench and drank her gatorade.
"Hey, Annabeth." I looked over and say Luke standing behind me smiling, I think my brain just melted.
"Oh, h- hey Luke. What's up?" I managed.
"I was just thanking you for making the plan for us. It sounds like the best one yet."
"Thank you, it was no problem, I guess it's just in my blood."
"Well, thanks again, I'll see you after dinner."
I'm such an idiot. It's my blood? Wow, I'm pathetic.
At the dinner table we we're going over the plan, and I had an amazing idea.
"Hey guys, I think Percy should take border control near the river."
"Why?"
"No reason, I just think he'd fit best there…"
The all nodded and said, "Alright."
"Fit best there as out bait…" I mumbled silently to myself.
"What?" Lauren asked who was sitting right next to me.
"Nothing, just going over the plan in my head," I lied quickly.
She just nodded and went back to her pizza. Thank the gods I lied my way out of that one. This lying thing is coming in handy, I'm so good at it I could be one of Hermes kids, I thought to myself.

That question 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 more 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 minutes to read the dad part.

Hello. My name is ScienceWolf. I love 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 you doing?
*He takes me to a camp with other people and sits me by 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?!
