OLD JUDGEMENT

Chapter 1

Dull emotions

It's been a week since the battle with kronos and his army of monsters. Everyone is back at camp recovering or going about their regular business.

I'm glad that everything was back to normal and I didn't have to worry about having to fight kronos anymore. Which reminds me about worrying whether annabeth had yes or no to being my girlfriend I realized how much we had done together and how much she meant to me. I just plain out "LOVE" her

(KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK) someone was knocking on the door interrupting my train of thought "Percy" annabeth called "you in there, I need to talk to you" I quickly scurried around my room cleaning everything in sight. I jumped on my bed "come in" I said almost out of breath she walked in with a surprised look on her face "wow, I didn't know you actually could clean" she said snickering "oh shut up" I said with a disdainful tone "what do you need"

"oh right" she ran over and bounced onto me like a fish out of water I mean I know I cant be hurt do to the river Styx but still. "Alright, so I have some good and bad news" she said with a rather serious look "um are you going to pick or do I have to"

"Oh…ummmmmm…" I normally would have said good news but for some reason my mind took over "bad" I blurted out "um okay, so my dad said he has gotten a job in Egypt and he said he thinks I'm to old to stay at camp all the time so I have to go with him… unless" she said as if she were pondering her thoughts "unless what"

"Unless I can stay at my new boy friends house" she grinned "oh so you don't to be my girlfriend" I didn't realize how loudly I had said it until I saw her expression fade. I thought she was about to stand up and smack me so hard Id feel it through the magic shell but instead a tear rolled down her cheek "I'm sorry annabeth I didn't mean to yell its just, I really like you and in the process of five hours you already got a new boyfriend"

She looked at me with a little bit of anger flickering in her eye "I'm sorry to, but you would really like him he's almost exactly like you his name is… Percy"

I immediately felt as stupid a satyr who just ran into a wood nymph that changed into a tree "I am so sorry annabeth I – "annabeth interrupted "its ok seaweed brain just try to use your head sometimes" it was quiet for what seemed like ten minutes "sooo… back on subject was that a yes or no on the whole staying with you" as much as I wanted her to stay with me I know mom would say no "umm… I should probably check with my mom first" I walked back to the sea rock fountain in the back right corner of the room and turned on the water. Mist began to fill the corner of the room I pulled one of the drachma out of the fountain and went to open the window when I did a rainbow illuminated the room I tossed the drachma into the rainbow "O goddess, accept my offering." The mist shimmered "show me sally Jackson" upper east side, Manhattan" in the mist was my mom and Paul blofis in the kitchen mom was making blue cookies and Paul was trying the first batch she had made. "Mom" I said she jumped almost throwing the cookies she prepared at Paul "Percy, dear how are you is everything alright" she said with a kind, warming smile "um… do you think Annabeth can stay with us for a while"

she studied me with her curious mother eyes "I don't know we only have two rooms and I wont let her sleep on the couch a lady's body to too fragile to sleep on a brutal couch like ours" she was right our couch is pretty hard "what about my room, she can sleep with me, my bed is big enough"

"I don't know Percy can you to actually get to bed without staying up until twelve" she looked over to Annabeth who was blushing up a storm "and you two cant be messing around" "MOM!" I blushed "you promise" "yes" I said eager to end the conversation "then I guess its ok, when are you going to be home"

"Two, three days tops" I responded the mist dissipated I turned to Annabeth who was half undressed and crawling into my bed "hey that's my bed" I complained "I know"

"Don't you think this is a little fast" "Percy it's just sleeping; besides we have known each other for almost 4 years" normally I would have went to a different bed but that was my bed and she sounded so convincing "hurry up seaweed brain my backs cold" I slowly walked over taking off my shirt, then my pants and for some reason I left my socks on. I got in and pulled the covers up to my shoulders and layed my arm over Annabeth

I was ready to pass out when I heard "I love you"Annabeth said "I love you too" I responded. Annabeth turned over and slowly puckered her lips. She looked so sweet and innocent I couldn't help it I leaned in for the kiss. My heart overflowed with warmth and happiness "best kiss ever" I quietly whispered into her ear "no best kiss yet"
