Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson and the Heroes of Olympus stories, I only admire them greatly. I believe that Rick Riordan is genius but with waiting for the next book makes me feel a little anxious. So I decided to create my own story "After Everything".
I do read reviews and change the story based on what you readers suggest. I also try making them as much of a Rick Riordan story as possible. This story is about the seven heroes (eight if you include Nico) succeeding after the two year battle with Gaea and during the Camp Jupiter peace talks.
I hope you enjoy this story and will try as long as possible to quench the thirst of Percy Jackson. Ha, just kidding enough of me babbling, let's get to the story ;).
Chapter 1
Beginning of the End
Percy Point of View
It was a warm spring day as the Argo ll was moving across the sea like a fat guy moving through a kiddie pool. I climbed out of my bed feeling like a wave of sea water just hit my face like a bullet. My body was sore from the recent battles. As I stood there I felt kind of odd maybe it was because of the rocking of the war boat which was weird considering I was the son of Poseidon. I stood up in my room looking at the miniature sized nursery. All there is in the room is a bed that was behind me and a closet that was literally about to fall on top of me like Flat Stanley. The room's walls were metal that looked like it was rusting to the point where it was falling off.
When the waves hit the ship it was like a kid scratching his plate with fork "sssscchhhhhheeeetttt" I covered my ears and said, "Really, out of all thing it still sounds like Cyclops making metal in my ear."
I decided it would be better if I got out the room.I opened the door then saw Frank and Hazel sitting at the diner/conference table.
They both were holding hands and talking to each other. I overheard some stuff that they were talking about "you sure they won't attack us because of what Leo, uh the thing did" Hazel asked fearfully.
"No, because we have the monster that actual did it and the Statue of Athena, anyway if they did attack us I would turn into eagle and go crazy zoo bird on them" Frank joked.
They both looked into each other eyes then Hazel kissed him on the cheek. After that she put her head on Frank's left shoulder. Honestly, I would consider that hushey gushy stuff but with a girlfriend it was normal. I looked to the opposite side of the hall there was seven rooms (including mine). Seven rooms for each of us, Leo, Piper, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Annabeth, and Me. Nico comes on board if there is a emergency but there isn't right now. My room was at the end of the hall closer to the dinner table and Annabeth's was at the closer to the stairs to the deck. Honestly, I didn't know how that happened, maybe that old goat decided it would be fun to separate us from room to room, I don't know. I walked over to Annabeth's room to see if she was there, I opened the door and she wasn't there. Probably on the deck I thought. So I walked over to the stairs and went up it. "Crrreeeeekkk, Cccrrreeekkkk" the stairs sounded as I was going up stairs. Man what Leo put's into metal work he doesn't put into maintaining it I thought.
As I got to the deck I saw Piper and Jason standing next to each other talking and laughing. They were on the left side of the ship. Jason had his arm around Piper. They both look like a cute couple, a daughter of Aphrodite and son of Zeus, I thought. I turned my head and saw Leo controlling the ship with a Wii controller. It was weird to see a 17 year controlling a warship with a freaking Wii controller, I don't know what a "Wii" is but it's some type of game system. I haven't had much time with "videogames" because my life is exciting as it is. Then I saw Annabeth, The daughter of Athena leaning on the railing of the ship with her golden hair dancing in the wind of the sea. I could say so much about her that would take forever to translate what I would be talking about. The sanest and easiest thing to say is that I love her and she loves me. Even though our "Godly" parents don't like each other, they both agreed we could date. But, every time I say "Annabeth" it was like a reliever that took away my pain and stress. As I was walking over to the goddess of my heart, my heart started to pump like I was making earthquake with each step. Then as I got closer I said "Annabeth", my heart sank and my blood left my face. As she turned I face to face with my girlfriend. Her stormy gray said a lot "I'm kind and sweet but mess with me I will make Hades for you". She smiled.
Annabeth Point of View
As I was leaning on the railing of the Argo ll staring off to the sea. I was at peace, I haven't felt that feeling in a while. Except when Percy's around I feel at peace. I felt really happy, because of the fact me and Percy will have some alone time and Camp Jupiter won't blow us to Olympus. After the last two years (books) we escaped the depths of Tartarus, stopped the doors of death to open, and defeated Gaea herself. Not to mention the fact we saved Olympus and defeated Kronos. I think me and Percy should have some alone time from everything, no monsters, no gods, just me and him. Like Tyche the goddess of Luck gave me some of her powers I heard "Annabeth"? My heart started to race like Percy's Pegasus Blackjack through the air. I turned my head to see Percy standing looking at me with awe. As I looked I felt as If I was home at Camp Jupiter and I knew he was what I was fighting for and I knew he was fighting for me.
"Seaweed Brain, took you long enough, I thought you'd never come out of bed" I said smiling.
Percy laughed "You know me a heavy sleeper but a strong lover."
I laughed "As if".
Then we both stared at each other. Percy had those green eyes that said "I cared" and a body that I got to admit made a few girls jealous of me, which made me happy. He got a little muscular and taller after the last couple of years. I wouldn't tell him that because he would never shut up about it. We both were wearing the orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirts, but none of us cared about fashion sense besides the Aphrodite children they were freaks about makeup and clothes. I walked up to him and gave him a hug. I put my head on his chest and heard his heartbeat. He smelled of the sea and war, but the sea was stronger than the war part. I took my head off of his chest and kissed him on the lips. After what seemed to be an hour of kissing, we both turned our heads to the sea. My head was under his chin and it felt like a big lovable bear was giving me a bear hug without crushing me.
"This Is perfect" I said hoping Percy would respond.
"Yeah it is" he said smiling kissing me on the cheek. After a few minutes Percy said something that made happier.
"I love you, Annabeth" Percy smiled and looked at me.
"I love you too Percy" I said happy even if we died all of sudden.
As we were holding each other staring off to the sun I knew that I was going to be with Percy forever.
Author Note: Sorry about the slow beginning but I had to start It with a developing story, I will try to put more action, romance, and movement in the next chapter. Suggestions will kind of nice. See you guys later ;)
