Her Green Eyes
Thaliabeth Fanfic
"I'm not sure when it was that I started to look at her so wonderfully, when she became the lights in my sky, just like her father, setting electric through the air. I'm not sure when it was that I realised I, Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena, was utterly and undoubtedly in love with the daughter of Zeus, Thalia Grace."

She looked up at the ceiling, taking in a deep breath as she shut her eyes, remembering the outline of Thalia's face, and how the sun used to shine off of her skin like she was made of glass.. so fragile.. yet so strong. She sat up and shook off the feeling that ran down her spine, pulling herself back into reality she checked the time "oh gods, its almost time for breakfast" she tiredly stated. Annabeth rubbed her eyes and got up to change, realising she spent the entire night awake.
Heading out of the Athena cabin, she headed down towards the camps food tent where a buffet of breakfast was set out, her eyes widened as her stomach growled at the scent in the air. "ANNABETH!" Percy exclaimed, he was a handsome young chap that really had a tweek for danger and morals. Percy ran over towards her with arms wide ready to hug, Annabeth twitched at the sudden movement before allowing the contact with a reciprocated hug back. As always Percy was chipper and looking forward to the war games of the day, after all of the previous 'hero' work he had done he was more energetic than ever, as for Annabeth, she's still working through that last mission which they returned a few days ago from.
After breakfast, Percy Annabeth and Grover headed down to the stream to practice sword wielding before the games. Annabeth bought her trusted sword that she always uses, while Percy bought is pride and joy, his fathers sword. Grover stood and watched as the couple fought each other vigorously, swishing back and fourth with clanking and clanging of swords and shields before ending their practice. Percy knew to not let his pride take over when he won the one-on-one battles, but he couldn't help but feel happy that he can finally best Annabeth at times. He walked towards her with a smile, ready to give her a kiss on the cheek in gratitude for the fight, and also because he himself just wanted that affection with her. Annabeth was still in a tiresome mood, but allowed Percy to kiss her cheek with a weak smile on her face. They all walked together to the meeting point by the grove, where all other campers would meet for the battle. As they reached the meet, there was a lot of talking and whispering as they entered the circle, people cheered as they greeted Percy and her. "Is this what it's like to be famous?" Annabeth muttered, Percy looked at her "what did you say?" he smiled gently.. that soft welcoming smile he always gave to her. Annabeth knew Percy had feelings for her, she even at times though about how exiting it would be for people if they had started dating, the great daughter of Athena and the powerful son of Poseidon both together hand in hand taking on the world, funny huh? Annabeth snickered at the thought of it all, again Percy just smiled along with it.
As every body set seperate into their teams, huddling around talking game tactics, Annabeth noticed a small group of ants on the ground walking in a straight line into the woodland. She leant down to view them a little closer when suddenly every one started to head off, realising she didn't listen at all to the plan she ended up following a group of people into the left side of the woodland heading towards the other teams camp. A group of the enemies team ran towards her, one of them sprinted towards her to take her legs out, she lept up into the air and sucker punched the other guy trailing behind before he reached her. Swords swooshed and shields clanged as Annabeth fought off the enemies, her team headed towards the camp where the enemies flag stood, a burst of adrenaline hit her as she sprinted towards the flag ahead of her team. The flag was just an arms length away before she heard a scream, followed by distant shouting, she stopped and turned before grabbing the flag and saw the trail of ants again. Chiron stopped the games, there was confusion on every face as some where running in the same direction, Annabeth heard a few words under all the voices 'tree' and 'girl'. Her ears pricked up and she dropped all weapons and ran towards the camps outside, the faces and voices around turned into a blur as she ran, faster and faster "NO. NO NO" she said with tears in her eyes as she ran. Percy spotted her in the distance and started to call her, "Annabeth! Annabeth where are you going?!" he lagged behind as her legs sped up as she got closer and closer. Soon, she stopped, frozen still as she looked down. Two bright green eyes stared up at her, moving stiffly a weak voice spoke "..A..Annabeth", Annabeths blue eyes poured liquid diamonds as tears streamed down her warm red cheeks. "T-Thalia.. is that really you?..".
