Saving Percy Jackson

Chapter 1

Scrub, scrub, clean, clean.

My days like this will never end. I'm an orphan. My master makes us clean the place every day. Every once and a while we will get to go to the movies. I played the song, "It's The Hard-Knock Life" from the movie. Annie inside my head. Then there was a knock. When ever there's a visitor, we have to put away our cleaning supplies. I dumped my bucket of soapy water, wondering who will be adopted. We all lined up in a perfectly straight line. The door opened and the person in it was a man in a wheel chair. "Good morning." our master said.

"Good morning ma'am." he said.

"Which one of our girls would you like to adopt?" the master asked.

Then she went into a description of each and every girl. He just stayed there, waiting patiently. when the master was done speaking, she asked "Which one would you like to adopt?"

Then, he said a person who I thought would never get adopted. "Her" he said, pointing to me.

"That's Aqua. No one knows what happened to her parents. The rumor about her parents is that they died," the master stated, launching into a description about me.

We headed into his car. Better start calling it mine since I'm gonna live with him. "So can you tell me about yourself?" I asked.

"My name is Chiron. I'm a trainer/ councilor at a camp that you are going to join and live at  a camp called camp half blood. Now tell me about you," Chiron stated.

"My name is Aqua. No one knows what happened to my parents. I was left on the doorstep of the orphanage. They took my in and for the rest of my life until now, I've cleaned the place and seen kids come and go," I told him ," sadly, I think my parents might of died."

We got out of the car and walked out to a tree. There was a dragon.

"That dragon guards our camp," Chiron told me.

At the camp, there was a bunch of kids, all wearing orange shirts saying "Camp Half Blood."

All the kids were staring at me. "What size are you?" Chiron asked.

"I'm a medium." I told him.

A half-man-half-horse came out with the shirt. "Oh I forgot to tell you I'm a centaur," Chiron told me.

I put on the shirt. "Annabeth," he called.

A girl, Annabeth I guess, walked up. "Show her around," Chiron told her.

And then, she gave me a tour of the camp.
