AN: Hey! Well, you guys probably don't know me, seeing as I'm new to the PJO section of , so, go a little easy on me. In other words, no flames, just constructive critism, please. :)
So, this really is more of a drabble then a one-shot. And in all honesty, I'm not to pleased with it, but hopefully it doesn't suck too much.. Ha
R&R!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Well, I own a copy of the books, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't count.. :P
"Perceus Jackson!" I whisper-scream at my boyfriend, who is now completely zoned out. How you zone out at one of Camp Half-Blood's campfires, I couldn't tell you, but he had managed to. He blinks and looks at me.
"Hmm? Sorry. I'm just, thinking." He responds. I raise an eyebrow and brush my hair out of my face.
"About what?" I ask him.
"It just, feels like something bad is going to happen tonight. I don't know why, it just does." He says. I look towards the fire, not able to meet his eye, because I've been thinking the same thing. I didn't want to bring it up, because I was afraid that whatever bad thing we sensed coming, was going to happen to Percy or I. Or maybe both of us.
"I know what you mean. But, let's not think about it. We're bumming out the campfire." I say, lightly nudging him in the side. He laughs, and grabs hold of my hand. I smile at him, than join in with the Apollo cabin in the sing along. Beside me, Percy joins in too, but I can tell his heart isn't really in it. Despite this, the rest of the night goes by smoothly, and I almost forget the bad feeling I'm getting. Almost.
"You know, you don't have to walk me to my cabin every single night." I joke. Percy smiles, but his eyes aren't showing the amusement he's trying to portray. "Seriously, Percy. I'm able to take care of myself. Remember, Athena always has a plan."
"I know. You never let me forget it." He says his eyes still so serious. I sigh. "Besides. I walk you to your cabin because I want to, not because I have to." I smile up at him, and my smile gets bigger seeing that his smile has finally reached his eyes. He leans in, and presses his lips gently against mine. I lean into the kiss, pressing harder, as if my life depended on it. Or maybe it was just that stupid feeling I couldn't seem to shake. It didn't really matter, because it all ended way too soon. "I love you." He whispered, pulling me close to him. I smile and clutch him harder.
"I love you too." I whisper back, before we both let go, then turn to go to our respected cabins.
I have trouble getting to sleep, and when I finally do, it's restless. When I wake up the next morning, the feeling I'd been getting last night had intensified, and I had a vague idea why. I jumped out of my bed and rushed out the door, not caring if I was in my pj's. With all my morals thrown out the window, I bust the door to Poseidon's cabin wide open, and nearly collapse. The cabin is completely empty, and the bunks are made. Steadying myself, I run to the big house, only to find Chiron talking to Argus about Dionysus suddenly being granted permission to leave. They both look at me as I bend over trying to catch my breath, tears starting to form at the corners of my eyes. Chiron takes a step forward, then rushes to catch me as my knees give out. I'm shaking all over due to terrible sobs I can't hold back any longer.
"What's wrong, child?" Chiron asks gently, helping me up to my feet, but not letting me go.
"It's Percy." I barely manage to get out. Chiron's look of worry makes the second part even harder to say then the first. "He's gone."
