Just as the summary says, these are little moments from percy's life as told from the people around him's point of view. If you would like to see one in here just let me know, i'd love to do tons of these because it's fun to imagine what was going through their heads when certain things happened :)
DISCLAIMER: Oh, if i only owned Percy Jackson, i could write for real... but unfortunately, i don't :)
ANNABETH POV:
Why was he taking so long? Grover and I'd been waiting for at the bottom of the Arch for a while now. He should've been back a long time ago. I seriously doubted he'd suddenly become that interested in the view.
The ground suddenly shook and we heard a horrible sound, like metal being ripped apart.
"Should we go back up?" Grover asked. He started looking nervous again, like he might start eating his cap.
"I think outside might be our best bet. I don't know what that was, but I can guess it has something to do with Percy." The more I hung around Percy, the more I realized trouble seemed to be attracted to him, like a moth to flame. We ran outside just in time to see cop cars coming from every direction. We ran as far away as we thought we could and still maybe find Percy. We were nearing the Mississippi River.
We waited for what seemed like an eternity, though it was probably no more than 15 minutes. Suddenly, Grover spotted him.
"Percy! Where were you! We waited and never saw you come down! What happened?"
"Oh, well I kinda… fell." He replied, as though he was still trying to grasp it.
"Percy! 600 feet?" I exclaimed. No one can survive a fall like that.
"Yeah. The lady with the Chihuahua turned out to be Echidna, and the dog was her chimera. I tried to fight it, but it was too fast. It bit me, and…"
"It BIT YOU? You should be DEAD!" I shrieked. People looked over, so we moved farther away.
"Let me finish!" He replied. "Yes, it bit me! But it also melted a hole in the side of the arch, and my sword fell over the edge. I could feel the poison slowing me down, and knew I would pass out soon. I looked behind me and saw the River. Echidna told me to jump, and that if I was really Poseidon's son, it wouldn't hurt me."
"Percy! Even falling in water from that far up is a death sentence…" Grover started.
"I know! I wasn't about to do it, but suddenly I saw the Chimera about to go for another blast, so I thought that maybe the monster would leave the other people alone if I was gone, so I fell. I thought I was going to die, but I hit the water as though I'd just jumped in a pool. No high impact or splash or anything! I just sank to the bottom."
"Percy, if you'd really sunk to the bottom of the Mississippi River, you'd be soaking wet!"
"That was the first thing I noticed. After I fell in, I realized that I wasn't wet. I could feel the temperature, but I was completely dry. I grabbed a wrapper and it became dry too. I even lit a cigarette lighter, and a flame appeared. Then, I realized I was breathing underwater like I would breath air."
I stared at him. Could this really be happening? How could one person be that powerful after just discovering he was a half blood 2 weeks ago? He could fall 600 feet into the water, magically control whether things were wet or not, and breath underwater. What else could this boy do?
"A Nereid told me to go to the beach at Sana Monica. She said my father wanted me to go there." He then said.
"Percy, you can't ignore a summons from your father." Grover told him.
"Well then, I guess we're headed to Sana Monica." I said. I was very interested in finding out what else this Son of the Sea God had up his sleeve. We set off as quickly as we could back to the bus station…
