You Promised….. A Percabeth Fanfic

Chapter 1 Annabeth's POV

Damn you. I hate my dad and stepmom. My dad is nice enough but since that witch came into our family she cast a spell on my father and made my life a living hell. So that is why I decided to run away. It sounded like such a good idea at the time, now being chilled to the bone, doggone tired, and having battled at least 50 monsters… not soooo much. I felt as if I had gone from Manhattan all the way to San Francisco, but turns out I only reached Long Island and was standing in front a cheap rundown apartment place. I thought that this could be a good hide out from the monsters and I thank my mom Athena for this shelter.

At least the plan is working so far. Oops spoke too soon. A guy about my age (7 or 8) was walking down coming towards this apartment. I squinted to get a better look, this boy had jet black hair, beautiful sea green eyes, he was wearing trident pj's and was carrying bag of groceries. He looked harmless but I tightened the grip on my dagger. He came up to me and instead of ignoring me like every other person; he looked me in the eye, held out a hand and said "Perseus, Perseus Jackson, also known as Percy." I looked at his hand, decided to take it and replied "Annabeth, Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." Percy pulled me up and said "You mean like the goddess?" and I said "duh what about you?"

Percy replied "My mother is Sally Jackson who by the way would be waiting for me and my dad is just a dude who knocked my mom up and left." "Oh and if you need a place to stay our apartment is on the 2nd floor Room 209." Then he left.

I stood there like a fool awestruck that he even bothered to be nice, not many people are so clear-hearted and kind. I watched Percy leave and wished I could tell him to stay without sounding like such a fool. I sighed hopelessly and sat back down. Just as I was going to kick back and relax; a bunch of boys came and started messing around, my shoulders tensed, and then the boys started picking on me, pulling my hair, mocking me, making kissy faces, saying things about Percy which I really didn't understand. I was about to pull out my dagger, when Percy ran out yelling "Nobody touches her." The boys weren't scared they just started laughing. Percy let loose a horrible scream causing the earth to shake rapidly and suddenly all the fire hydrants burst and the water made its way towards the boys completely drenching them. If they weren't scared before they were now.

The boys quickly ran away, and Percy looked happy but started swooning and then he fell unconscious in my arms. Have you ever been in such a situation when a boy you barely know saved your life then fainted from exhaustion? Probably not, so that is why you won't understand how queasy I was feeling. I daren't look at his face surely the beautiful sight would make me crumble. So I picked him up, strangely he was extremely light-weight, and knocked on his apartment door. To my surprise, a surprisingly young woman opened the door and said "Percy, is that you?

Percy POV

I was coming home to see a girl my age, covered in mud and dust from head to toe, breathing heavily, probably suffering from exhaustion, and eyeing me ferociously. I assumed she was a vagrant. Originally my plan was to ignore the girl and walk up the steps. But then a voice inside my head said "Percy you dipshit, have you completely lost your mind and become a tenacious snob? What has mom taught you? To always be nice to the less fortunate, and offer them shelter at our place. Even though we are financially weak!"

So I changed my mind, walked up to her, held out a hand, and introduced myself said "Perseus, Perseus Jackson, also known as Percy." She looked at my hand, decided to take it and replied "Annabeth, Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." I pulled her up and said "You mean like the goddess?" and she said "duh what about you?"

I replied "My mother is Sally Jackson who by the way would be waiting for me and my dad is just a dude who knocked my mom up and left." "Oh and if you need a place to stay our apartment is on the 2nd floor Room 209." Then I left. At first I was feeling extremely proud of myself for handling it so professionally, then later cursed myself out. "Percy you dummy, who does that? Just going up to a person and giving them a place to stay. Maybe I will just stand in the lobby and watch her. So I was standing in the lobby gazing at those princess curls, and the person wearing them.

When all of a sudden John, Eric, Robby, and Sid came up to her and started their daily teasing. I could hear that they were talking about me and that had gotten Annabeth confused. I really don't know why but a ripple of rage burst through me and I ran out the lobby screaming "NOBODY TOUCHES HER." My outburst seemed to have no effect on the boys, and there was a tugging in my stomach like I had eaten some bad spaghetti. The boys weren't scared they just started laughing. I let loose a horrible scream causing the earth to shake rapidly and suddenly all the fire hydrants burst and the water made its way towards the boys completely drenching them. If they weren't scared before they were now.

The boys quickly ran away, and I felt happy that I had saved Annabeth, but suddenly my knees buckled, the world became swirly, I fell into Annabeth and then everything was black.
