Hello! I hope you like the story! And please review on any mistakes I had made. Thank you!

Prologue:

Annabeth POV:

The kingdom was in danger.

And the little baby princess was to depart the palace. Queen Athena shed tears, and ordered head servant Leslie to come on.

"Leslie," the queen hastily said. "You must run away with Annabeth. There isn't much time! I know the rebels are going to look for her. You must depart…saftely!"

"Your highness, how about you?" Leslie said, tears falling down.

"Don't concern about me. Whatever that is, bring her to safety. If it means to abandon her for safety, I give permission to do so. No one should no Annabeth's identity."

Annabeth wailed. Her stormy gray eyes scanned the whole window, seeing buildings crashing against each other. That made her cry, because all the beautiful buildings were destroyed. Leslie hushed her, and the queen came to the little baby.

"Annabeth, stay well. Mother loves you, and you must be safe!" she said, kissing Annabeth's forehead. "Leslie, here is a basket of food and water. Now go!"

And the castle exploded. Leslie ran towards the side, and soon safely came out of the palace. Annabeth was crying; she saw her mother in that explosion.

"Momma," the little baby said, tears flowing down. "Papa."

And Leslie ran away, and came safely to the forest, to the secret hideout where every child was to stay.

30 years later.

Percy POV:

"Sally, GO!" Percy's father said. "Grab Tyson and Percy! You must leave before the buildings hit them! Go to the secret hide-out!"

"Poseidon, where on earth are you going? You must come with us!" Sally Jackson, Percy's mother, said.

"No time. Got to save more children."

"Poseidon-,"

"Go! I'll catch up later! I love you Sally. And Tyson. And Percy," he said, kissing each of the two boys foreheads. "Go!"

Sally strode off, tears in her eyes, clutching Tyson on the left hand, and Percy on the right arm. Tyson was six years old, while Percy was only a few months old. Percy scanned the whole destruction; his little green eyes staring at his father going away.

"Gaaah," Percy managed to say.

"Papa is saving others," Sally said. Tears were rising through her eyes. "Let's get to safety."

Sally ran faster to the forest, Tyson running along, and Percy clinging on to his mother as tightly as possible. His father…the father he loved so much…is not coming with him. Percy began to cry, and Sally clutched on him.

"We're almost there. Percy, please stay strong!" Sally said. Tyson was pacing up, and soon they reached the hideout. Many children were in there, hugging their mother's or father's.

"Mommy," Tyson said. "I'm scared."

"Don't be," Sally said, stroking Tyson's hair. "Everything will be fine. I promise. Just stay patient. Here, let's snuggle on the corner over there."

They were offered blankets, and they received them. Percy and Sally snuggled together. Tyson was already asleep.

"Little one," Sally said, stroking Percy's raven black hair. Percy ducked into the blanket, crying. But he was crying softly. And all he was thinking was when his father would come back…

30 years later…

Hi! This is the first chapter of The Lost Princess! Enjoy! And please review!

Chapter One:

Annabeth POV:

"Rise and shine sweet beans!" Leslie said. I woke up, feeling drowsy. My hair was all tangled, and I was supposed to wake up and pick berries.

"Yeah…I'll go," I said.

"My, look at your jumbled up hair! Comb it now! Oh, it is a mess!" Leslie complained. I gave her a sleepy grin, and headed towards the restroom. Then, I washed up, wore my clothes, and took the basket.

"Don't forget your cloak!" Leslie said.

"Alright," I said. She handed my cloak, and I strode off.

The beautiful rays of the sun shining in the early morning hurt my eyes. I had to walk for a few minutes to reach the berry garden. Mrs. Jones, the owner of the garden, would always let us pick the fruits in her garden. Somehow, she came to respect me. She said I was a beautiful young lady who would some day become a leader. But beautiful? All I have is curly hair that is tangled every morning…

"Annabeth!" Mrs. Jones ran towards me. "I was waiting to talk to you today. I am always so fascinated by the way you speak!"

"I…" I said stupidly. "Actually…uh…thanks."

"Darling, so what is your latest idea?" she asked, leading me towards her fruit garden.

"You mean my architecture ideas?" I asked. She smiled.

"Of course," she said.

"I was going to work on it. But I had no time," I said, looking down. Mrs. Jones always looked forward to my ideas. I was so afraid to give her the disappointed look.

"Alright. That's okay," she said in a cool way. "Now, let's pick berries!"

And we picked fruits until two hours. Surprisingly, it was only eight."

"Come soon!" she said after I was going to leave. I nodded, and I strode off back home. Leslie would always give me a look of joy every time I came inside the house. It always gives me a happy feeling. It really feels nice.

"Take a break," Leslie said. "Why don't you go to the village and go explore?"

"Love to," I said. "And remember, hide your identity."

"Of course," I said. Then I went out, feeling so uncomfortable wearing a dress. I ran back, and jumped through my window. I changed into some comfy and warm pants with a simple orange t-shirt. "Perfect."

I quickly took my backpack my purple beanie, and walked out the door. I was sad. I was sad because far away, I could see the kingdom I once lived in. Except, the palace had a new king. My father remarried according to the news. My Mom…she died. I tried to take the thought away.

"Annabeth, just focus on your studies. Abandon your past; it's useless," I said to myself. I walked downhill till I reached the village.

Decorations for Christmas was being hanged on shops.

"What beautiful decorations!" I shouted to everybody.

"Thanks Annabeth, we'll keep that in mind!" Pete said. Pete was the owner of shoe store. I grinned, and headed towards the library…

I walked in, and began taking out books that I loved to read all over again. I started taking out a few, and was absorbed to one book until I was knocked down to the floor, my books falling with me.

"I'm so sorry!" I heard a boy's voice. I stared up, and I saw a dark haired boy with green eyes. "I am really sorry."

And he began picking up all my books. I helped him, and finally, he helped me stand up.

"Thanks," I said. "And it's okay."

"Okay," he said, his eyes sparkling. "Anyways, what book is that called?"

"Oh, this?" I asked, picking up the book I was absorbed in. "This book is called Oliver Twist. I've always loved this book. If you'd like, you can check it out."

"I would love to, but I can't," the boy said in a sad tone. "I have dyslexia."

"Oh," I said. "But you can still read this book. If you try hard…"

"Okay," he said. "I'll try."

"Great! You will love this book!" I said, handing the book to him.

"Thanks. Anyways, what's your name?" he asked me.

"My name is Annabeth," I said.

"I'm Percy. Nice to meet you Annabeth," he says, shaking my hand. Then we split off, he going to the left side of the library to check out section, while I go to the right section, where more illustrated classic books are.

I've checked out a few other books, and then left the library. I wandered around the streets, till I felt a push on my shoulder.

"Annabeth," Rachel said, giving me a glare. "Why were you talking to Percy?"

"Percy?" I asked, giving her a frown. "What about him?"

"Why were you flirting with him?" Rachel asked, pretty much annoyed.

"I just suggested him a book, that's all."

"He has dyslexia!"

"So?" I asked. "What if he does? I have a slight dyslexia as well. But I still read on! He's enjoying the book. What's your problem?"

"Annabeth, don't mess around with me. Ever. Percy is mine!" she yelled. And she stormed off. I walked away, thinking her as pathetic. Selena and Charles met me when I was looking at the book store.

"Are you looking at books?" Selena asked.

"Of course I am," I said.

"She's probably looking at architecture books. Annabeth, aren't the buildings beautiful?" Charles asked, pointing to a picture I was seeing.

"Annabeth, become an architect!" Selena said. "Skip being a doctor. You have the heart as an architect!" I shrugged.

"I know Selena. I want to become an architect, but sometimes, I really want to become a doctor," I said. Selena gave me a hug.

"Choose whatever's best for you," she said. Selena always made me feel reassured, as well as Piper. They were emotional, and really gave you the feeling of warmth and friendliness.

After we split up, I walked away. I thought of Percy. He seemed pretty nice. And was handsome. Wait Annabeth…what on earth are you thinking? I only met Percy…so Annabeth snap out of it! I thought about how stupid I was thinking…because I only met Percy. But I still couldn't get over how Percy was so nice to me about things.

I was startled when Percy tapped me on the shoulder.

"Gosh, you scared me!" I shuddered.

"Sorry," he said, giving me a grin. "Anyways, I read the first chapter! And it is really good. You have a good taste in books."

"Well," I said. "Actually, the librarian recommended it to me."

"Oh," he said. "But it is nice that you shared it to me."

"Good," I said. "Oliver Twist is such a wonderful story. I don't know what inspiration Charles Dickens had, but it is such a beautiful story."

"I know right!" Percy said. "Anyways, reading the first chapter gave me a little trouble. I kind of had trouble on reading. And I was wondering if you can help me read the book-,"

"Of course," I said, grinning. "I'd love to help you read the book."

And he smiled at me. I smiled back. And after that, we parted.

Thank you. I hope you like this story. Please review!
