Hey everyone, sorry for the short chapter. Please review. This is my first story. No flaming, constructive criticism is fine. :)
Chapter 1: Introduction
Percy's POV
A brief flashback
"Vosieous, you have caused too much trouble for us. You know the penalty for this!" Zeus' voice boomed over the land.
"Zeus, wait give me one more chance." I begged. One lightning bolt later, I was gone.
Percy's POV
Camp Half-Blood was pretty empty now days. It surprised me that we haven't really seen any new campers lately, since the gods were supposed to claim they're children. After defeating Kronos things have been relatively easy for me. I enjoy myself here with the girl I love and where I belong. My feet were planted on the top of the hill. So much has happened since I first came here. I looked over to the side and saw Annabeth admiring the view. There was always something new that struck you when looking at the view from here. No matter how many times you look. I looked down at my watch. My half brother, Tyson, had made this for me. I've been wearing it ever since. It was half past ten in the morning.
"What you thinking about?" I asked Annabeth who had her thinking expression on.
"Nothing much."
"Mmm. You sure seem like your thinking about something. You up for a race?" I asked.
"See you at the finish line!" Annabeth was already running down the hill, I had some catching up to do. I quickly sprinted and was already right on her heels, I decided to surprise her, and tackle her. I gave an extra burst of speed. I have to admit she is pretty damn fast. I took a leap, and barely caught a grip on her waist but it was enough to knock her over. We rolled down hill, over each other, laughing a bit too much. We finally got to a stop. I lay on top of her and looked into her grey eyes. It was the perfect moment for a kiss. I started to lean in, when I saw a familiar figure from the corner of my eye.
"Ahem." Grover cleared his throat.
"Sorry." I whispered to Annabeth. I slowly raised myself up, and offered a hand to help her up.
She took my hand and pulled herself up. She began to blush and giggled. "Its okay, just like old times. I'm going to head to my cabin, I'll be there if you need me." Annabeth waved at us and went on her way back to the Athena cabin.
"Your such a dog!" Grover smiled at me, and gave me a hard pat on the back once Annabeth was out of view.
I'm sure I was blushing now. All that came out was "Heh."
"Have you guys started dating yet?" Grover asked, grinning.
"Uh sorta. How is Juniper?" I tried to change the subject on him.
"She's good as usual. I want to ask you something."
"What?" I was curious to know, he is usually not the one who asks for advice.
"Tomorrow is our second anniversary and I was wondering what should I get her?" He started fiddling with his thumbs, what he usually does when he is nervous.
"Wow, congrats, man!' I gave him a hard pat on the back, as he did to me earlier.
"Ow."
"Sorry. Hmm, I don't know, give her something sentimental, something that ties you two together."
"The only thing that ties us together is our love for each other." Grover was clearly confused.
"Well, there you go! You can start off there." We continued on talking about useless stuff as we usually do. We sat on the hill together until about twelve or so. We headed down to the pavilion to eat lunch. I sacrificed part of it to my father, Poseidon. Grover, Annabeth and I spent the rest of the day at the beach, later on Juniper joined in the fun. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. It started to get dark and got a bit chilly so we all said our good-byes and parted our ways. I walked Annabeth to her cabin and she stopped at the doorway.
"Well, thank-you for walking me here, Percy." Before I could respond her lips were already on mine, I was shocked but I eventually responded back. My hands were around her waist and hers were on my head trying to pull us closer. Before things got too serious she pulled back and rested her forehead on mine.
"Goodnight." I gently kissed her forehead and went on my way to my cabin. I slept peacefully that night with no interruptions, until morning.
