Lost: Ch. 1
This is my first fanfiction, so no flames please! Constructive criticism is appreciated! Because I am a stickler about grammar, spelling and vocabulary, the chapters might take a while to update because I will revise and edit two or three times. However, I hope the end product will be worth it! The chapters might be short because I am short on time, but please don't judge me on that! I have lots of ideas for this story so there will probably be lots of chapters! Special thanks to wisegirl2000 for inspiring me.
Annabeth
Percy was late. He was supposed to be at our apartment at 7:30, yet here I was at 8, still waiting. I waited for another fifteen minutes and at 8:15, he walked in the door, hair unruly, shirt untucked. "Sorry I'm late. I ran into dracena on Fifth." Go figure. "That's okay." "Give me ten minutes and then we can go." Percy and I were supposed to go to Central Park that evening. Exactly twelve minutes later, we were strolling down Fifth Avenue, watching for sisters of the dracena that Percy killed earlier. You never know.
Once we entered Central Park, we strolled aimlessly through the paths, looking at lakes and ponds, finally stopping at the boat pond. The boat pond was most probably Percy's favorite place in the park. He loved watching the intricate model boats zip across the pond as if they were flying. I had to admit, it is a rather intriguing spectacle. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, most of the children had gone, and the remaining ones were packing up. Not surprising, considering the time. When the last child left, Percy made a fake pout. "Not fair. I didn't even get to see the boats!" was the vocal accompaniment to this facial expression. "Seaweed Brain, we got here late! It's not the children's fault!", was my retort. "Okay, okay, we can go home now.", he said, giving me a light peck on the cheek.
I remember that evening like yesterday. It was the last evening that Percy and I had together before he had to come and rescue me. How embarrassing.
