Annabeth's POV

I was about to curse Athena when the drunken owl came. It had been a week since we were given our quest and I was getting more nervous by the minute.

As of right now I was sitting at my desk in my cabin writing out some architecture plans. I was the only one in the cabin so it was nice and peaceful.

That is until a crazy-eyed owl flew into my cabin, dropped a letter on my plans and flew out the window into a tree. It all happened so suddenly I sat in shock for a while.

Eventually I managed to turn to the letter on my desk. The front had swirly writing written on it which was terrible on my dyslexia. I sat there for what felt like hours trying to figure out what it said.

After quite some time I made out:

Ms. Annabeth Chase
Cabin 6
Strawberry Fields

I quickly opened the letter making sure I was absolutely alone.

I let out a long whistle as I scanned through this list. First where the heck are we suppose to buy all this stuff? Second how are we going to pay for this? I decided to head to Big House and saw Thalia and Percy already waiting there.

"Hey you got a letter too?" Thalia asked me, waving a paper in her hand. I nodded as Nico came running out of a shadow with owl feathers stuck in his hair.

"It didn't like me." Nico mumbled grumpily, holding a familiar looking letter.

"Well," Chiron said to us smiling, "I'll send an owl confirming that you're going to the school and I advise you pack your things because you'll be leaving tomorrow to meet Hagrid."

We all nodded before we headed off to our cabins. I grabbed my suitcase and stuffed in a couple grey jackets, some regular T-shirts (Chiron advised us not to wear Camp tees), and some jeans. I also stuffed in the book I was reading, "Divergent," and my drakon sword I disguised as a walking stick.

Then I went to go meet up with the others who had also finished packing, that is except for Seaweed Brain.

He came out with a stupid grin on his face and we all headed for the lake talking all about what to expect for tomorrow.

A/N So sorry that it took me so long to update. I've been really busy with school and I never got the chance!

Ok so the letter might not be as accurate as it should be but I could only gather so much information. Also I'm thinking about starting at the fourth year because it would be the best for this story. That's why I added dress wear. If you have more accurate info for the letter please tell me so I can fix it!

Anyways please vote and comment!
