The Champion {Book One} (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

A Jolly Demigod Christmas: Part 1

(A/N: In these next few special chapters, p.o.v. will be changing a couple of times and some might be really short. Just to say I had them in here, ya know. I'm not sure if I will have only one of these. There might be 2 or 3 parts to this! And I know it's passed Christmas, but it wouldn't hurt to make one, now would it?! I never got the chance to make this for you guys. Dx)

Percy's P.o.V.

"Aw, come on Annabeth!" I whined. "It's a tradition! You have to, it's a mistletoe!" I leaned in but she stopped me before I could kiss her.

Annabeth sighed, then gave me a warm smile. "Alright, Seaweed Brain." She gently pecked my lips.

I grinned. "You just wanted to make the first move, that's why you stopped me."

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah right, in your dreams."

Crash.

Both I and Annabeth turned towards the noise. Of course it had to be the Ares and Apollo cabin fighting. The Apollo cabin was singing Christmas carols as the Ares kids were trying to drive them away, throwing anything they managed to chunk at them.

But out of all the kids, one caught my eye. She had her arms crossed, and had a far off look in her eyes. The girl looked about 14. She stood out, since most of her siblings had blonde hair. She was athletic looking, had brownish hair, few freckles across her nose, and green eyes. Better yet, they were blue. No, green. No! They were blue? I forgot what you call that certain color. I sighed.

Annabeth looked up at me and smiled in the same direction as the girl. "She's the new Apollo kid, Nico's little friend I suppose."

Just then the Stoll brothers appeared out of the blue (A/N: lol...no?ok...). "Nico's friend you say?" Travis mischievously asked, stroking his chin.

Conner then got a gleam in his eyes. "I don't know, Pollux over there is really friendly with her, wouldn't you say?"

"Conner, you think we should end this ship?"

Annabeth and I rolled our eyes. "I was thinking the same thing....," Conner said, dreamily.

They made a silent agreement and ran off, as if they couldn't wait to plan out the details of their prank on the new camper.

Hazel's P.o.V.

"Here you go Arion." I said, gently picking up a gold ore fresh from the ground. I slowly raised it to Arion's mouth and let him take it from there.

I brushed off my hands on my pants, taking in the clean air. I looked at the endless grass, trees, and strawberry fields. I had to admit, this was much more at home than Camp Jupiter. Even though I have been there for so long, Camp Half-Blood holds much more memories. Good and bad. I fought and risked my life for this place.

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder, and that was the end of my flowing memories. I turned around to face Frank. I smiled, as he did the same.

"Well....Merry Christmas!" I giggled as I brought him into a hug, gently kissing his cheek.

Frank hugged back, "Merry Christmas, too," he said. Then he looked at his feet and blushed. "I kinda got you something that I wanted you to open already."

He pulled out a small flat box, gold lettering painted on. I gasped, slowly reaching for the gift. My curiosity got the best of me, as I quickly took off the lid and poured the necklace into my hands. Pure silver, I could sense. Then I looked at the star-like symbol clipped on. My eyes widened. An exquisite opal, smooth and precious, hung from the chain.

Small tears formed at the tears of my eyes, as I clutched it. "Can you help me put it on?" I ask weakly, before I could break down in tears of joy.

As Frank clicks the pieces together, I wrap my arms around his neck and touch my nose to his. I smile, wondering how he knew opal was my favorite mineral.

"I love you," I whisper.

"I love you more, Hazel," he says, closing his eyes still smiling in delight. I do the same.

(A/N: Hope this wasn't too romantic, guys. :P)
