It seems that camp Halfblood is no longer safe. Lately, there have been many monsters breaking in – Chiron says that the Gods powers are fading… as a result of this; there have been many injuries and even a death. After last night's near death experience, Chiron and Mr D have been forced to shut down the camp…

Later that evening

Annabeth came charging into Percy's cabin.

'Hurry up, seaweed brain, everyone's waiting-' Annabeth stopped short at the look on Percy's face.

Sitting down next to him, Annabeth didn't need to ask what was wrong. She knew Percy too well.

'Everyone's going to miss this place too, you know'. She said softly.

Percy raised his head and gave her a grateful smile.

He looked round the room at the minotaur horn, the dented shield that Tyson made for him, the pictures, the memories… his drool soaked pillow.

Sighing, Percy said

'Well, we'd better get going'. Taking one last sweeping look of the place, together, they gathered up their bags and walked to the coach side by side.

'Now, everyone -' Started Chiron,

'Yeah, Yeah, we know!' Shouted Connor Stoll 'Don't use your powers or anything magical and keep a low profile. You've said that a billion times already!'

'Over exaggerate much?' Muttered Thalia

Conner shot her a glare.

Everyone chuckled and Chiron gave a somewhat sad smile.

'I'm really going to miss teaching you guys'. He sighed.

The atmosphere in the room started to drop… everyone was going to miss Chiron too… it was just too difficult for him to stay in a wheelchair all the time.

As everyone stepped outside of the coach at their stop, it seemed to hit Percy for real. Basically, with camp Halfblood being inhabitable, all the demigods were being forced to go to school with mortals. It was situated in Chicago, a place where monsters didn't normally go, as, long ago, they had been defeated here many times (along with the titans, by the Gods), and so it held a really bad memory for most monsters – and was basically just bad luck. This was the one of the only schools that accepted a truck load of students at this time of year, so most of camp Halfblood was here. Some of the younger demigods were spread out to other schools though… Percy still wondered how they were all supposed to contain their powers… it was only a matter of time before someone noticed. And having to go to school with some mortals! How was he supposed to keep them quiet! Not to mention that it was a little strange how nearly all the students had dyslexia or ADHD.

Chiron had booked some apartments – one apartment per cabin, so we all had a place to stay. Though if a demigod's mortal parent was living nearby, they would live with them. Percy and the others had started to get their stuff, and headed to the apartments to unpack. Percy decided that as soon as he could, he would head to the town to get some blue paint – the apartment was really bland and boring. White walls, a small desk and table, a tiny bed and a little wardrobe. He would have to share a bathroom with Apollo's kids… really not looking forward to that! After Percy had unpacked everything, he decided it didn't look too bad. The place was just missing something… water. There was no water. Nothing. Zilch. This was Chicago, so the sea was no where near, whatever rivers there were, they were probably so polluted that he would probably die from one mouthful. The school had no swimming pool, and the closest leisure centre was about 7 miles from hear. The closest comfort Percy could have is most likely the bathroom.

Percy was NOT looking forward to school tomorrow… he prayed to the Gods that they would get their power pack soon so he could get out of this hellhole!

Please tell me if you would like me to carry on?

The next few chapters will be mainly just fun and pranks… soon the real story will start, and there will be a BIG twist!

I might not update again if I don't get many reviews, so REVIEW!
