Four years after the war with Gaea Panem was forged. Demigods and humans were forced to live in Districts, and the Hunger Games began.
Lets give a little half-human veiw, shall we?
Percy's POV
Annabeth and I were just leaving a resturant in New York after a date when Panem was announced. We were confused at first; what the Hades was happening? It had been four years since any major monster distrubances, but this was just as bad. People were coming in and separating people, taking them to who knows where.
"Annabeth?!" I shouted when I realized I had lost her in the chaos. I searched the crowd for the blonde curls and orange Camp Half Blood tee I had come to know as my girlfriend.
"Percy!" I heard her shout. I tried to follow the noise, but I came to an abrupt stop when I realized she was on one of the helicopter things that were taking people away. And I wasn't with her.
I charged towards the helicopter. Just a little farther. I told myself. I got there a moment too late. The helecopter was out of my reach. I shouted in defiance as Annabeth was pulled away from the edge.
~~~~~~~
Four days later the Districts were announced. I was in 13. I didn't know where Annabeth was. Hopefully close, so I could find her. I soon found out that Piper was in 13 too. I told her what happened to Annabeth and she assured me that we would find her, wherever she was.
And that was exactly what I intended.
