Percy Jackson and the Sword of Poseidon

Percy POV

I woke up not knowing where I was, what had happened, or how long I have been out. My eyes aren't fully open yet because I heard voices right by me in deep conversation and I am definitely one to eaves drop.

"Have you been able to get the sword out of his hand?" Asked a familiar voice that I guessed was Chiron.

"Not yet sir," replied another familiar voice that I didn't want to hear right one, "but he is still breathing which is a good sign."

"If he does not wake soon then you will have to go on the quest without him." Chiron spoke, "Grover can't hold the secret from this new Half-Blood forever."

"But sir I can't go without Percy," Annabeth protested, "I haven't been on a quest without him..... EVER!!"

"Im sorry but there isn't anything I can do about it." Chiron replied not seeming offended at Annabeth's screaming, "If he is not awake by tomorrow then you will have to chose someone else to go with. Im going to go now and let the other campers know it's time to eat. Will you be coming to dinner or will you wait by Percy?"

"Im going to wait Chiron," Annabeth told him, "I don't think I can eat right now."

"Very well then," Chiron said sounding a little disappointed, "farewell then."

"Bye Chiron." Annabeth said.

As soon as Chiron left the room I opened my eyes reluctantly. I then leaned my head over to see Annabeth.

"Hey," I greeted her, " how long have I been out?"

"Oh my gods Percy!!" Annabeth shouted while running over to me and giving me a huge hug. I flinched when she touched me seeing as how I was pissed at her. " Is there something wrong Percy?" Annabeth asked sounding worried.

"Oh no nothing," I said sarcastically, " it's not like my best friend hasn't let me communicate with them all year. You know, break the connection with the mist, never return my texts, or reply to my e-mails or letters. No, nothing like that."

Annabeth looked at her shoes suddenly interested, " I-im sorry Percy. It's just that..." She trailed off not really having a good excuse.

"I heard about the quest and how you want me to go," I stated.

"I don't expect you to go or accept my apology considering what an inconsiderate friend I have been but I'm still going to ask."

"Your right about one thing, I wont accept your apology but I will go on the quest. I won't forgive you until I get a reasonable excuse."

"Thank you Percy. You don't know how much even that means to me."

"What is the big deal about the new Half-Blood?" I asked her.

"Nothing really," Annabeth answered, " just a new Half-Blood."

"Any clue as to who there Olympian parent might be?" I questioned even more.

"Grover thinks she is a daughter of Athena." Annabeth replied eagerly.

"Alright im gonna get some rest," I said while getting up to leave, " and please think of a reason about what we talked about."

"Okay, good night Percy." Annabeth said depression forming on her face.

"Night Annabeth." I replied. "Cheer up Annabeth, im sure your smart enough to find the answer."

Still Percy's POV

For some reason (not that im complaining) I didn't have a dream tonight. But my sleep was interrupted yet again by a knocking on my door. Reluctantly I got out of bed and strangely, I didn't reach for Riptide but instead for The Blade of Poseidon that I named Tidal Wave. Kind of cheesy I know but I have loved tidal waves ever since Mt. St. Helens. Speaking of there didn't I wash up on Calypso's island after that. Another knock at the door snapped me out of my thought of Calypso.

When I opened the door I was greeted by blond hair and gray eyes but with tears in them. It was Annabeth. She looked up at me, took a deep breath, and aced if she could come in. I let her in and she sat on my bed opposite of mine.

"What's this about Annabeth," I asked, "everything okay?"

"No," she answered, "I have a preseason as to why I have been ignoring you." I just stared at her waiting for an answer. "It's because I know that either of us could die and I don't want to put either of us through the pain of losing a friend." She said friend as if it pained her to say it.

"I can't promise you that neither of us will die but I can promise you that I will do whatever I can to prevent it." I said trying to comfort her.

"You better get some sleep Percy we have a big day tomorrow." Annabeth said.

" Yeah, good night," Percy said, "and I forgive you."

"Thank you Percy." Annabeth replied.

Annabeth's POV

Walking back to my cabin I could only think of my short, two lined prophecy,

Lose a love to a friend or foe.

And feel the pain of another that only you know.

This is going to be the worst quest ever.
