Chapter One-Annabeth:
We were supposed to grow old together. Have a bunch of grandchildren and watch them from the front porch, right? Wrong. Because now I am here kneeling in front of a headstone that read, "loving husband, son, and friend". Yes, the savior of Olympus is dead. The love of my life is gone.
"Percy!" I screamed as I jolted awake. Panting heavily, I crawled out of the bed and scrummaged around until I found the phone. I had been having these crazy dreams for a while now and they were really starting to scare me.
Although we are engaged, we still haven't moved in together yet. I work as an architect and Percy is in college studying to work at Sea World! Just kidding, he wants to be a marine biologist. He is living with his mom until he starts working, and since I already am I have my own place.
"Hello?" he asked groggily. I breathed a sigh of relief. I know they are just dreams, but when you're a demigod they usually have some insight into the future.
"Percy? Sorry I didn't look at the clock, go back to sleep," I whispered. It was so silent it felt creepy to talk at a normal tone. Glaring at my alarm clock, I realized it was two o'clock in the morning. Oops.
"Its okay, don't worry about it. What's wrong?" he questioned. I could imagine his eyebrows creasing together like they always do when he's worried.
"Can you come over please? I've been having those dreams again, and I won't rest till I see you alive and breathing," I confessed. It sounded really desperate, but he hasn't ever come over in the middle of the night so I didn't know if he would be willing to or not.
"Of course, Annabeth. I'll be over there in about 10 minutes. Oh, and can Grover come by for a minute? He said he needed to talk to you about something," his tone was very amused.
"Yeah, that's fine. Love you," I yawned. Today was my day off, and I couldn't be happier. A day of sitting on the couch, eating popcorn, while watching Hop. Bunnies are officially my second favorite animal, losing only by a smidge to the owl.
"Love you too," he chuckled. We hung up, but I still held the phone in my hands. What was so dang funny?
