I'm a 13 (soon to be 14 on friday) year old girl. Do I look like Rick Riordan to you?
Also my friend fantasybookworm2012 came up with the plot and asked me to write this story.
Happy Reading!
"Sludge" the construction worker's POV
I walked into work today with a cup of coffee in my hand and my cell phone next to my ear.
"I don't care if you have to burn down the entire house with the owners inside! Just clear that lot!" I screamed into the phone. "No! Use gasoline! It burns the trees much faster!" And with that I slammed the phone closed.
As I walked to my office I noticed an envelope sticking out under my door. By the looks of it, it was a very important assignment. I picked it up and sat down at my desk.
I opened it up and began reading. The assignment was from some rich tycoon who wanted to build an amusement park in a mall. He had bought up all the land on Long Island sound. The problem was that there was a strawberry farm on some of the property. My men and I were supposed to go and burn the camp and all of the surrounding trees down.
I pressed a button and buzzed into the intercom. "Men, we've got another gig." I instructed. "Get the trucks and bulldozers ready."
After I signed off, I grabbed my pack and shoved the envelope full of papers inside. I then proceeded to run out of my office and jumped into a truck and drove off.
Annabeth POV
It started off like any other day. I went to my activities, taught Ancient Greek to the younger campers, you know, normal things. Then the trouble started.
I was taking a walk with Malcolm and discussing where we could build a temple. We had stopped at Thalia's pine for a little break.
"Alright bring the trucks in." Someone yelled.
We both jumped up in time to see a huge bulldozer and about 50 people approach the edge of the border. "Hey could you go get the person in charge of this lot?" a man in a plaid shirt asked me.
"What do you want with our camp!?" I exclaimed.
"Look, I know you two are pretty slow in the brain department, so I'll ask you one more time. Can you just get an adult?" the agitated man said.
"You shouldn't have said that." Malcolm said his face red-inning by the second.
Before I could punch the guy, Chiron trotted over.
"What seems to be the problem?" Chiron asked.
"This lot is to be bulldozed to build a shopping mall." The agitated man stated with no enthusiasm what so ever.
"You can't do that! This is my home!" I exclaimed.
"Oh yes we can." He snapped at me. "Look for yourself" he said while handing Chiron an official looking document from an envelope.
Chiron skimmed through it and then said "this is a summer camp. I will have to have a week to notify the parents and send everyone home."
"Three days nothing more." The man replied and with that he rounded up his men and left.
"Chiron how could you do this!" Malcolm yelled.
"This is my home! Not to mention the only safe place for Greek demigods in the world!" I added.
"I know." Chiron replied. "And I have no intention to have it to destroyed."
"Go round up all of the head counselors Annabeth. We need a plan."
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to review!
