Percy:Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me why you're my least favorite god!
Ares:Why you little-
Me:OKAY! On with the story! Please rate and review!
I groggily sit up,hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock I brought from my home in Manhattan. My mom had given it to me along with some other things before I came back to Camp Half Blood for the year. I had a mini heart attack on the spot when I saw the time. 10:00, it read. Oh gods, I thought. I'm late for my date with Annabeth! I jumped out of my bed and rushed around my messy cabin to get dressed. Tyson wasn't here and I'm usually not one with cleaning, so my cabin is like a dump. Oh man,oh man,I thought. Annabeth is going to kill me!
Once I was ready, I practically flew over to the Athena Cabin.I was going so fast I could outrun a child of Hermes. Once I got there,I knocked on the door while I tried to catch my breath. Malcolm opened the door. I glanced around him into the Athena cabin, half expecting Annabeth to be in the cabin, full of anger and disappointment. Instead I only found a couple of Athena kids rushing around the cabin with blueprints in their hands, working on a new project.
"Hey...Malcolm...is Annabeth...here?"I said between pants and gasps.
"Sorry Percy, Annabeth went to the beach half an hour ago."
"Thanks...Malcolm,"I said, still out of breath.
"Good luck,Seaweed Brain!" He joked. I took off for the beach.
I spotted Annabeth on a big sand dune, staring off at the sea. Her blonde hair dropped down her shoulders instead of the usual ponytail and was wearing a stunning sundress, and had a gold clutch beside her where I guess she kept her Yankees cap. She spotted me a couple feet and tapped her wrist,indicating I was late for our date. And to top it off,I tripped on a stone and landed face first in the sand. Annabeth ran over to me,giggling as she helped me up before going all...um,how do you say it,all Annabeth on me.
"Seaweed Brain! You're late! Did you sleep in AGAIN?"
That's when it hit me. I set my alarm for 7:30am last night. Someone must have snuck into my cabin and reset the time. And I knew just who. The Stoll brothers. I swear on the Styx that if I get the chance to get them back, I'll take it. Right now,I have to deal with Annabeth.
"Um...I can explain,"
"Don't,Seaweed Brain. Let's just do our date."Annabeth,said,still giggling.
We spent the rest of the day laughing and eating delicious snacks. We were having a great time until an arrow impaled itself beside the tree beside us.I took out Riptide while Annabeth drew her knives(hey,don't judge us. You don't know how much danger we've been in, and now we carry our weapons everywhere just in case a monster decides to show up)and looked around for the person who shot the arrow.
"There!"Annabeth shouted,pointing to a man-no,a skeleton in a suit that was torn at the sleeves,holding a bow with an arrow. He shot another arrow at us,but I deflected the arrow off my blade. Annabeth lunged at the skeleton and slashed at him with her knives. The skeleton collapsed into a pile of bones and dust for a few seconds,and then began to reassemble itself. But he didn't come back as one skeleton,but five. They were all coming toward us,holding either a bow or knives. They were almost like the skeletons we encountered at the ski town in New Mexico. Annabeth slashed at the same skeleton again while I fought the others,but this time he drew out knives from his suit pocket and swiped at her right arm.A huge cut appeared on her arm from her shoulder to her elbow,and she collapsed on the ground,yelling in pain.
"Annabeth!"I yelled. Enraged,I slashed and hacked at the skeletons.A few minutes later,I heard footsteps and people yelling,and saw that a small group of demigods were running over to us,led by Chiron,who had a bow in his hand.I must've yelled so loud that they heard me from all the way back at the Big House. Chiron started shooting arrows at the skeletons while a few demigods helped me carry Annabeth to the infirmary.Someone must have summoned them, I thought. Because there was no way there would have been monsters over at the beach.
Once we got to the infirmary,we lay her down on a stretcher. Her face was pale and scratched,and her arm was all bloody from the scratch the skeleton gave her.I held her hand tight as children of Apollo gave her nectar and ambrosia. Will Solace came over to me and put a hand on my shoulder."She'll be fine,Percy. The cut on her arm was very deep,causing her lots of pain,so she'll be out for at least a couple hours."I squeezed her hand tighter. After what seemed like forever,her eyes fluttered open.
"Annabeth,"I said,relieved that she was okay.
"Percy...I feel so weak..."Annabeth said,her eyes looked like they were going to close again.
"Don't worry, you're going to be fine. Just rest for now."She stared at me for a few minutes before her eyes closed again.I touched her cheek,still holding her hand."Everything will be fine..."
Remember to rate and review! I will make more chapters as soon as I find out how to do it! XP
